GEORGE BROTHERS Purveyors to Particular People Idaho (left). SEATTLE, Wash.—The job of harnessing the migW.y Columbia river for agriculture and industry has been begun by army engineers. More than 11,000,000 horsepower of electrical energy may be pro- duced by maximum development of this largest river in the far west and its tributaries, engineers have determined after a year’s survey. Hand in hand with the hydro- electric exploitation is a reclama- tion project involving millions of acres of semi-arid farm land in the river's basin. | Ultimate development of the Co- | lumbia also will open a new water- way 750 miles long from the river's mouth to the Canadian border.

Notice the way Ap- pling and Bancroft use their hips. They may be starting one way but are able to shift their balance with an almost imperceptible sway and go get that ball. “It is instinctive, but without it an infielder isn’t going far. I imag- ine football helps develop that in- stinct. The fact is, I asked both of them if they had played football Appling, playing shortstop for Atlanta, has attracted the atten- tion of major league scouts who also are looking over Bancroft, sec- ond sacker for Birmingham. COBB LEADS WANER BY TEN POINTS IN LIFE-TIME, = HITTING PITTSBURGH, Aug. 15, — Paul Waner, senior member of thé base- ball firm of Waner and Waner, owns a lifetime batting average of .365. E § Pouring over his records, baseball writers discovered the Pirate out- fielder came to bat 1,611 times and made 609 hits, an average of .378, during the three years he was with the San Francisco Pacific coast club. r Waner, whose brother, Lloyd, also cavorts Pittsburgh, has been with the Buc- caneers four full seasons, making 890 hits in 2,497 trips to the plate. His batting average of .358, glean- ed in major league baseball, is only 10 points less than Ty Cobb’s rec- ord and four points under Rogers Hornsby's mark, the best in the Na- tional league since 1876. Paul hasn’t missed the .300 mark in the yearly averages since he en- tered the professional ranks. e <3 g INJURED TEXAS LEAGUER BLAMES NIGHT BASEBALL SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Aug. 15.— Night baseball may have boosted at- tendance at minor league baseball when I saw that little movement.” | in the outer garden for| o Assoctated Press Photo .
