The bright- est stars added to the baseball firmament in 1927 are probably Lou Gehrig and Ted Lyony Gehrig made 13 home runs in June, equalling the best month’s record ever made by Babe Ruth, whose Yankee team-mate Ted Lyons is the whirl- wind pitcher developed by the Chicago White Sox. Both are young and full of glowing promise of future fame. DENOUNCING K. DAKOTA.

Of course, everybody knows that New York City is a newspaper graveyard. Among those in New York sent to the morgue was the Globe, the Mail and Express, the Sun, and the Herald— James Gordon Bennett’s old standby. Then in Chicago there was the Record and Herald combined, and it took more than twenty- five million dollars to make it come through; and then it was sold for a few hundred thou- sand dollars We have right here in Nebraska the absorp- tion of the Omaha Daily News by the Omaha Bee. That also tells a story in the newspaper field. It carefully estimated by those who pro- fess to know that more money has been lost in the newspaper game in the past few years than any other business in the United States. So, the path of newspapers is not shine and roses. oL he in to owner ni t Plain to the is that its the Des competitor, Moines the mentioned recently to Times went is all sun- I’ldymg Dempsey § Safe. (New York World.) It is edifying to note how cagy sports writers in regard to Mr. Jack Dempsey. A a different attitude; in fact, they tossed caution to the winds. They told us about his sunburn, his footwork, his diet, his punches; and as the zero hour approached they plulhlwl he would win in a walk. What happened was very sad; since it is still fresh in memory, ps it would be better not to rehearse it. So) » they are playing it safe. Jack, they tell| us, an impressive coat of tan. He weighs 204, He is frisky, frolicsome and free from worry. He has given Jerry the Greck a new name, to wit, Sex Appeal. But will he win? Try to find one of the sports writers who is willing to say. To a man they agree that the only way to find out about Jack’s condition is to wait and see what; he does against Sharkey. And for once we think they are right. This thing of trying to call the turn on a prize-fight in advance of the decision is! hazardous, to say the least of it. 1926 the number of liquor prescriptions by physicians in the United States in- creased. by 471,896 ovér the previous year.
