THE JOURNAL LITTLE BITS QF GATHERED FOR OUR READERS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS AT LEAST TEN YEARS LATE, BUZZ ARLEIT ANSWERS KNOCK ON HIS DOOR AND STEPiS INTOMAJOR LEAGUE STARDOM BY PHILIP MARTIN year, as the major league baseball seasons come and go, there comes a pass out the bouquets to the season's outstanding rookie performers. It might be appropriate now, then, to pin the slugging honors on the manly bosom Mr. Russell L. Arlett of Oakland, the gent who has been belting a goodly share of those Phillies' home runs of late. The big Calltornlan started slowly, galped momentum as the season grew and right now is keeping step with the National League swat leaders, both in home runs, runs scored and runs driven In.

Joe Vosmlk of the Cleveland Indians seemed well' on the way to rookie stardom earlier this year. Then Joe slumped miserably. Only recently did he regain his batting eye. The end of campaign may find him with a heavier batting average than Arlett, but Joe will have to drive in a run every time at bat for the next several games to have a chance in the runs-drlven-ln column with the 230-pound Phillies' star. Buzz entered the senior circuit this sprJfig with a record of l.S successful Class AA years In the Pacific Coast League.

There were some who figured this 33-year-old hippo had outlived his usefulness "Buzz" Arlett to a major league team. In the training camp didn't generate any excitement other than that caused by his large feet. The baseball correspondents In Dixie tagged him as another $10,000 Investment gone wrong. But Arlett refused to iret at this caustic criticism. He gave one Philadelphia writer an interview in which he casually remarked "I'll be in there when the bell and see." The bell rang shortly, and BUM got In there.

Manager. Shotton seiit him to right field and in- stiiilM hini as eleanup hitter In the batting liiieup. The big guy started slowly, as I mentioned before, but In three weeks he had made his impression. 1 doubt now that Shotton would take $50,000 for him. Arlett has become popular with the Phillies.

They call him a ballplayer's player, which means that he is in there trying to win and is always capable In the He made the Quaker fans forget Lefty d'Doul. He evgn has excited the blqse Kew York fans. Buzz is big, yet tie moves around the outfield with' startling agility. He may not be as as Babe he's every bit as portly. And he used to be a pitcher, too, juet as the Babe did.

Oakland won maiiy games behind Arlett 's pitching before he injured his arm ln-1923. He then was converted Into an outfielder for the Oaks. After the 1924-season, coast critics were callTng him the perfect player, combining Ruth's hitting power. Speaker's fielding skill, Cobb'B mobility on the paths and in the gardens and Meusel's throwing arm. Buzz doesn't have all of those things with 230 pounds to move.

Yet he owns enough of that class to outshine any other freshman that came up this semester. More Business Need of Schools ROAD DRAFTS WILL BE PAID Fund Eeplenished By Receipts from Auto License Tags. Carl Twldwell, Co. Supt. RESULTS Often, yes, too often, the school Is rated by the way the people of' the vaf ious communities like the i teacher, or teachers.

The school; Highway may be making reasonable progress or it may not. Yet it is ranked as a good school. In my opinion a school making reasonable progress according to present day standards must be judged from several however. In the final analysis It all leads to economy, business, and achievements. Then what is economy, business and achievements in the school sense? Yes, what is economy? It Is the conservation, utilization and the preservation of the school's property, money and even concerns the physical, mental and moral economy of the school Child.

Then how does the term business effect the school? It seems to me to be the biggest term, of all "results" in regard to schools. Now results or achievements the factors by which a school should be measured. Since the public schools of are for all the people, a good school or a good of schools is not where a few make outstanding progress but It is where all or nearly all children in a school or a school system make progess, e. 1., pro- gresjs according to the seven car- STILLWATER, June dlnal "when" N. E.

to give some concrete example let me mention licnna, Shady Grove, Fame, West Uberty, Lindsay Chapel, Raiford where ail children from the lowest grade to the highest have been making reasonable progress ovex a period of several yeaia, believe Ifl a good 90 percent of the children mastering the seven cardinal principles of education each year. Besides mastering what is offered in these schools, the respective teachers have inspired the children to go further towards mastering the same principles; however, not all of these schools are termed good schools by boards and citizens which is shown by the fact that often, yes, too often, are the teachers asked to move on. Therefore, In conclusion let me raise the tiuestioh: Could not otir school prograiJi hinge on economy, business and results? Could It not be Improved by a better understanding of these principles by all?
