GROVE 3 YEARS STRIKEOUT LEAD PHILADELPHIA (AP) When Robert Moses Grove, more com monly known as Just plain "Lefty," bung up 174 strikeouts in 1927, the lanky Mackian hurler entered the Waddell-Johnson class by leading his league three or more times In a row. Waddell topped the circuit in whlffings six straight times during the 1902-1907 period and Johnson came through with eight in a row 1912-1919. Grove has performed the unusual, however, by showing the way each' of the three cam paigns he's been In the league. Johnson holds the record for leaderships, having twelve to hi- credit: Walter also led the field in 1910. 1921. 1923 and 1924 be sides the eight jeara, mentioned above. Waddell got his entire six In .consecutive seasons. Waddell and Johnson rank a the only American League iburlere tofau 300 or more batters in a single 'campaign. The eccentric Rube breezed 301 in 1903 and 343 (the present record) in 1904, Johnson turned 313 back in 1910 and 303 in 1912. Grove's best effort was 194 in 1926. It's a rather odd fact that in the 27 seasons the American League has been in existence the strike out honors have been divided by only, eight pitchers. Cy Young was the first leader. Old Denton T. whiffed 183 in 1901. Then came Waddell with his six straight, followed by Ed Walsh in 1908 and Frank Smith In 1909. By XORMAN E. BROWN .

BROTHERS HELP PRINCETON FIVE PRINCETON, N. J. (AP) Princeton University's hopes of winning another Eastern Intercol legiate basketball title this year hinge to a large degree on the work of one of the Tiger's most famous sets of athletic brothers. Al and Eddie Wittmcr. Al Wittmer. the older brother, has been head co basketball since 1923 and recently signed a five- year contract to continue to tutoi the basketball five and act as head coach of the Nassau line during the football season. This" winter his "kid" brother. Eddie, sopho more halfback sensation of last fall, is playing his first season al guard on the Tiger five and under the coaching of his brother if rapidly developing into one of the most capable guards the Tigers have had in years. Princeton athletics in the past have boasted such sets of athletic brothers as the five Poes, Jack and Phil Strubing, Ed, Bob and John nie Stinson, Maurie, Armand anc Syd Legendre, Charley and Jo Caldwell and Elex and Janoc Fisher, and the two Wittmers hold a place high in the list. In his college days Big Brothei Al played three years of varsity basketball, captaining a cham pionship five In 1921, his senior eyar, and winning All-Eastern honors. Like his younger brother he played guard. After gradua tlon Al returned to Princeton to help coach the Tiger football team and act as head coach of the court team. He has turned out one zhampionshlp five, two runners-up and one third place team during his yme as bead coach. Eddie, a sophomore this year, played guard on the, Tiger yearling team two years ago but was un able to return to college In 1926 because of a broken leg suffered in pre-season football practice. His Injury has completely healed as his work on the gridiron last fall showed, and he won a varsity berth on the court as running mate of Captain Mike Miles.

MUSIC WEEK FOUND r.:; - doubled jn life ale Weeks Tarled from those of the larg cities, like 45an Frand eo wttb tt big Auditorium events, aad Dearer with its "Pageant of Colorado."' through, those of the moderate sized cities, where the movement baa especially taken held, down to the observances In the rural communities. This rural prone -a is to a large extent due to the government's borne demon stration agents. One colorful ex ample of such sponsorship Is fur nished by the rural Musle Weeks la the Arizona county la which Tucson Is located. These range from a concert by a boys' band from the Indian Day School at San Xavier to a community sing at Fort Lowell, which was held in both English and Spanish. The Spanish people received Invita tions in their own language and were Invited to bring their guitars and other' Instruments to accom pany the singers. In a large number of instances the local .Music Weeks produced definite: beneficial results, as not ed In the reports of the local chair men. .: These include the organiza tion of bands.. orchestras, or chor al groups,' the purchase of musical Instruments for the schools, a rec ognition of music' as an essential In the school curriculum, end a retting together of local musicians for civic betterment.- One example of the latter result Is provided by Goshen, Indiana, where the Music Week resulted In the organization ef choir directors meeting every other week to promote choral mu sic and to put more enthusiasm into tneir own cnoir worn-. A re sult of this team-work is a com inanity Christmas concert of massed choirs planned for the coming holidays. It is expected that the achieve ments of the recent Music Week will be eclipsed by the coming 8b- jervance on May 6-12. Among the general features planned by the National Music Week Committee are a special recognition of Am erican music, the development of better congregational singing the churches, the development of the music memory contest as feature of rural Music Weeks, an tylng-in of the motion picture houses and the radio with the Music Weeks in the various sec tions.

PENNINGTON WLLE QUALIFIED FOR IT (Can tinned froi pat 2.) also that the Newberg club was the first organization of the kind la the country to furnish Hoover buttons to Its members. The people of the Newberg sec tion bare been insistent upon the candidacy of President Penning ton. They point out the fact that Newberg has never had a delegate to the Republican national conven tion, and that it Is appropriate that a delegate from Mr. Hoover boyhood town should be named. and still more appropriate that the delegate be the president of the college where Mr. Hoover went to school as a lad.
