Each one must have belted out at least 200 shots. "I wish we had that chance," one ballplayer said. "We get to the park and probably get 10 or 12 swings. We should have a chance to hit at 100 or more pitches every day." This is quite true. Early each spring Ty Cobb would practice hitting at home for two hours a day.

Receives Special Aid ST. MARTINVILLE, LA. In an attempt to stimulate the aged tree, special tree food has been placed in the ground at the roots of historic Evangeline Oak, which stands on the banks of Bayou Teche near the old Atta-kaptrading post. About 100 pounds of a special preparation were embedded near the roots to overcome slight deterioration of the tree noted as is authenticated by historical data, meager in spots, but fact nevertheless. The bell has a re- corded history that dates back for centuries before founding of the Lebanon institution. The bell, which is located in the tower of the historic chapel clock ' building on the campus at McKendree, a Methodist institution, has been used almost hourly to summon students to class ever since the col- "ve was a mere stripling of 30 t ., CASSVILLE.

The father, a former bronc rider and bulldog, ger, now confines his activities almost exclusively to putting his 8 to 12 trained horses through their paces in his "liberty act" at major shows.

"Probably Thorpe on his big days. But for the combination, I don't see how you can get away from Nagurski, a great tackle, a star end, a wrecking fullback and passer. I believe the Bronk would have made a good quarhe weighed While terback. around 225 pounds, he was also fast and shifty. "One answer is that 11 Nagurskis could wreck any other eleven, although 11 Nevers and 11 Thorpes wouldn't be any shove- arounds after a little line experience. Seven Bronks would be too good a line to run against. Cravath's statement drew heavy backing from most of the others. Oddly enough, it happened to be Grange who led all others at the box office. Red had an appeal beyond Thorpe or any other single star, al though he was only a fair passer, Grange made more out of football than any other star more than double the amount, when you con lider all the cash that came his way through his football fame.

J who took the trouble to get in extra work swinging a bat. Cobb got his work at home. Ty often was a holdout, not for more money but to really get .1 ready for a tough campaign. He was supposed to be a holdout in Ty Cobb 1911. That spring he was working overtime hitting and sliding at home. He reported at Ter-r- e Haute on April 7. The season opened around April 12. Cobb was roughly criticized. Only five days of training, they said. "That's no way to treat his club." They knew nothing about his homework at Royston. All Cobb did that season was to bat .420 and steal something like 83 bases. It was one of his best years. I believe a Cobb would be better off training at home in his own way than reporting at any spring training camp. He would have more time to build himself up. Cobb had the ambition that too many ballplayers lack possibly 70 per cent of them. Too many want it not the the softer and easier way hard way of training, discipline and hard work. Among others there'll be two ballplayers I'm rooting for this season. the other One is Ewell Blackwell is Ralph Kiner. Both have potential probabilities of greatness. Both know their responsibilities, which so many ballplayers don't. well-know- a ver, Pendleton, Salinas and other cities.

At present the Buschboms have more than 100 horses, some trained and some wild, and an assortment of bulls, steers and calves on their ranch near here. Very few people have seen the bell at its resting place high in the clock tower of McKendree'! chapel, for to reach it, a person must climb a series of ladders that lead upward to the darkened tower. f WHEAT KING To J.

The vibrant toll of the bell first was heard in Spain, where historians say it was cast in the eighth century. Later it was recast in Spain and brought to Florida sometime in the 16th century. There are many unfilled gaps in the storj of the bell's turbulent history. From Florida it found its way to the Southwest during the historical era when the West was the last frontier of the country. In the 1850s a roving band of Santa Fe traders found the old bell, dated as to its arrival in America, in a deserted Indian mission in New Mexico. For some reason the heavy instrument was brought to St. Louis, then the gateway city to the new country. Historians disagree as to whether or not the bell was recast or repaired in St. Louis. Anyway, the name, "Saint Louis," is visible on the bell, as well as other symbols and insignia so corroded as to be almost undecipherable. Following its arrival in St. Louis, the bell was taken to Centralia, 111., in 1858. to be exhibited at the Illinois state fair. Here it was purchased for McKendree college by a Mr. Cobleigh, at that time president of the budding institution. The bell was taken to Lebanon and hoisted into the bell tower of the new chapel then under construction. Since then, it has reposed in the dark belfry of the tower abo've the building, where the outside world little realizes the romance of Its long history. Just how the bell served during its first century in America is unknown. McKendree college, founded in 1828, is conceded to be one of the oldest colleges in the Mississippi basin, and one of the buildings, known as "Old Main," is said to be the oldest assembly hall west of the lrie i - i tTars. :, ...

No one should expert Louis to be the same fighter he was at thst time or when he won the title. When you reach the top you usually begin to soften up in a hort time, and the wonder is that Louis is still champion. The main insuer has been lack of competition, lack of quality in the other cor- IWA f. The public at large was bad- ly Jolted by the Bomber's performance against Walcott. They took It for granted the Louis of ir!7 was still the Louis of 1937. There Is a mighty big difference. Jack Dempsey was at his peak at ;he age of 24.
