THE baseball season is still a i bit young to try to rate the pennant chances of teams in the big show, but it is not too early to rate the vaiue of star players to their respective teams in the race. Today we will discuss three first-basemen whose ability in the field and at bat is bound to have some effect on the pennant chances of their clubs. The New York Yankees boast the incomparable Lou Gehrig, who right now is in the midst of the greatest year of his baseball career. Lou has guarded the Yankee’s first corner for six full seasons, ever since the late Miller Huggins put him there to replace the fading Wally Pipp. Always a powerful hitter and brilliant fielder, Gehrig was a bit handicapped the first few years by a sort of inferiority complex. You know he came to the Yanks as a

battle after IS minutes of inerrv j slugging. Finn and Jurges were| benched and play wa» roomed Botli teams had been spoiling j for the fight during the four-game series which ended yesterday. Hitchers were throwing bean-balls' at batters instead of over the, plate; spikes were used indis-1 creetly In hose running and thej boys were, lolling one another, about the bases. It seems that the Dodgers do not like the Cubs; in fact 1* .ail hates Hornsby. Hack Wilson' doubly hates Hornsby, and most of the Flatbushers dislike any- i thing with a Chicago flavor because the Chicago fans showered Wilson, a former Cub, with lemons when he last appeared in the pine-' apple city. Both managers made statements to the press. -Carey said. ‘‘They had It coming.” Hornsby said. "Thee had it coming.” This defeat cost (Tiicago the lead in the National league, as the Boston Braves again mounted to the top by defeating the St. louis Cardinals. 2 to I.

I rookie kid at a time when the great Babe Ruth was at his best. To him the Babe was the greatest ball player of all time and it was ’ inconceivable that he himself could ■ ever hope to approach the hitting i might of Ruth. However Gehrig kept pegging ! away and at times even surpassed : the Babe in batting. Even then : his kid worship would not permit t the thought that he might rival the King. He would dolefully t point out the tough luck the Babe ) was having with hard hit drives, e forgetting all the time that he was 1 having his share of bad breaks, too. e And then last season Lou finished 1 even with the Babe in home runs, r both ending with 46 circuit clouts e apiece.

on the way to another National League batting championship. He won, you know, in 1930 and last year was barely nosed out of first honors by Chick Hafey. Terry is hitting the ball in accordance with his own theory again. He tried last year, at the suggestion of his mentors, to • scatter his hits and while he was fairly successful he believes that he can do better pulling his shots into right field as he did in 1930. In Chicago the veteran Charley Grimm, of the Cubs, is taking excellent care of his jobs os captain and first-baseman. Grimm, a powerful hitter and a bulwark in the field, has had much to do with the early season success of the Cubs. And should the team carryon to the pennant Grimm’s hitting and playing and steadying influence on his teammates will have played no little part is the march to victory. uwrishi. u*>. aiM mminM. fes

one holds does not reflect honor \ upon the doer, then do the work j so well that one will reflect honor j upon the task. As an illustration j he mentioned John Milton, who wrote "Paradise Lost," and Booker T. Washington who was fired with a great ambition for an education. The third principle mention’d) was honesty He said "We need j I to remind ourselves in these days | iof unscrupulous money getting, that honesty is always the best) policy.” He advised the pupils j l that no matter what profession or | vocation they fill to always be ( honest. j ■ His concluding thought was “My j young friends, you go forth in a Jav when the very air is charged with expectancy. The chilly frost of materialism has nipped the buds of higher and more important value. But there will he a new Renaissance of faith in God and man that will put materialism into the background and place the proper emphasis upon those things that carry with them eternal and immortal values. "There are great.tasks before you; tasks too great for this present generation—But we have faith in you. the world has faith

in you. The Almighty God has t faith in you that you will master the tasks of life. And if you will,, r beed and follow my three injunctions to you this afternoon, dili- , gence, thoroughness and honesty, you will master every task that may come before you." C. E.

For at Sandwich, over the tough and historic Princes course, some of the world’s foremost golfers tee-off in of England’s greatest golfing prize—the Open Title! Ten times out of twelve, since the armistice, this coveted title has fallen to the lot of an American. And it Is not improbable that an American will emerge victorious this year. In addition to Tommy Armour, winner last year, Gene Sarazen is entered and is primed for the test of his career. Mac Smith, veteran campaigner of the links, also tees off today, continuing his persistent quest of a major golf title. These three professional stars compose America’s Triumvirate.
