HIT SCRAP FOR
(By United Press)
NEW YORK, April 7. ■— Tris Speak
er’s sudden elevation to the heights
of batting championship, sought for
many years by Joe Jackson, is likely
to precipitate one of the hottest
scraps in the American league dash
for the top of the average list this
year that Ban Johnson’s or any other
man’s circuit ever saw.
Joe struggled along for years,
cracking the leather on lots of base
balls and attaining dizzy batting
heights. But Ty Cobb always was
just good enough to pull out in (lie
lead. Speaker came along, got set
with a new club, and hit 'em so fast
and often that Cobb was forced to
look on from a rear seat, while Jack
son merely hooked on in third place.
Joe has issued his challenge for this
year. He says the name once boasted
by a president of the United States
is going to be right at the top when
Ban B. Promulgates next summer's
most important list in the lives of bat
ters. Cobb, he says, may be second,
or even Speaker may get that far, but
he has served warning that Joe is
going to ride the winning horse.
Cobb also has made some passing
remarks in which he intimated that
there isn't going to be glory without
a few sprints in the summer. He has
set his eyes on that batting champion
ship and wants it badly enough to
stretch his legs hard for every blow.
Cobb, so one story goes, was a very
much disappointed peach when the
last season was over and the custom
ary Cobb was lacking at the head of
the American league averages. He had
acquired such a Ben Adhem habit
that it was hard to let go. He was
grieved and somewhat astonished to
observe that it wasn’t Jackson who
challenged him, but Speaker, main cog
in a machine which shouldn’t have
placed him that high.
And just to keep competition from
growing stagnant and carrying all in
terest to the younger league, the Na
tional league probably will fling a lit
tle dust around in staging its battle
for leadership. Jack Daubert, long
recognized as king, didn’t like it a bit
when he was nosed out a year ago.
He likes his hits perhaps better than
any other star in the game, so he pro
mises to give Hal Chase, Roger
Hornsby, Lew McCarthy and some
other aspirants the climb of their
young lives for John K. Tener’s heav
iest batting average. All around it
should be a busy little season for the
average fiend.

LIST TRIS
IF jSRAEL
(By United Press)
BERKELEY, Cal., April 7. — The
theory that the American Indians are
members of the lost tribes of Israel
was given added proof here today
when Dr. E. W. Gifford of California
University’s anthropology depart
ment announced his discovery of sim
ilar rites and practices between the
Kawaiisu Indians of the Kern river
section and the ancient Hebrews.
The Hebrews, according to the
Bible, held that if a man died with
out offspring his brother should marry
the widow and the first born of that
union should be known as the dead
man’s child. The Kawaiisu Indians
observe the same custom.
