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.

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.

The people of the Newberg sec

Newberg has never had a delegate

that a delegate from Mr. Hoover

EARLY WASHINGTON
.-TRIBUTES RECITED
. (Osattroc tns page a,) . .
Awake to glory, aad to vengeance
It should be interesting to our
young people to read from Ram
phreya Ode to Mount Vernon, in
the type of that day, as nearly as
present-day print will allow, as
follows:
By broad Potowmack's azure tide,
Where Vernon's mount, in fylvan
pride,
rife!
To arms! to arms! ye bold in
dignant bands!
'Tis heav'n Inspires; 'tis God him
self commands.
Save human nature from such
headly boors.
By force of reasons, or by force
of arms.
Difplays Its beauties far.
Great Washington, to peaceful
f hades.

been put Into print .but certain
misrepresentations were made re
garding the author's estimate of
Washington In comparison with
Christ: one as the Saviour of the
world of men and the other of his
country. So the author published
his oration to correct the error.
The second booklet Is entitled:
"Oration, delivered before the
Legislature of Massachusetts, at
their request, on the Hundredth

-Above all, if it shall be found,
