Louls, Sept. 30~—Rogers Horng: by, Cardinal second baseman, yester. day took a place beside the greatest hitters in baseball history.

Hornsby failed in his effort to lead the league In runs secured., He tallied only once in the double head- er yesterday and thus raised his total of 121 which tles Frankie Frisch of the Giants. Between games yesterday Hornsby was presented with a silver bat uml: ball Known as the Dick Richards| trophy for leading his team in bat-| ting.

Hight, former clergy- man at Ina, confessed poisoner of his wife and accomplice in the poi- soning of Wilford Sweeten, told of- ficers at the Jefferson county jail here yesterday he planned to ask the court to appoint a lawyer to defend him as he was nearly penni- less. Meanwhile Mrs. Elsie Sweeten, who confessed she poisoned her husband in a conspiracy with HIzht, to rid themsclves of their mates so they might marry, is making plans for her defense, Mrs. Sweeten held a conference vesterday at the Salem jail where she is held with two Mount Vernon attorneys, who said they had not been retained, but they might take the case. The state is continulng its ef- forts to gather.all ‘possible evidence. Indications are said to be that the former minister and Mrs. Sweetin will be indicted jointly. State's Attorney F. G. Thompson said he received several letters from persons offering to adopt one or more of the three children of Mrs. Sweeten. Lawrence Hight, who no longer is a minister or member of the Meth- odist Episeopal church, having been unfrogked by the recent conference at Carbondale, today showed few effects from the strain under which he has labored.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1924, Be it known to all men, Wash- Ington hasn't always been “first in war, first in peace and last in bas ball” A Washington team once claimed the proud title of “Best" in the United States, That was In 1867, The club was known as (iie Nationals. Tt was made up of young athletes around Washington, employes in the gov- ernment departments for the most part, and was backed mainly by Arthur’ Pue Gorman, afterwards senator from Maryland ang a power in the country's politics, Harry Rerthrong was the running king of the team and won a wine supper for his team- mates once from John Morrissey, famous pugilist of New York and a representative in congress at the time, by circling the bases In 14 1-4 seconds. Morrissey declared it couldn't be done inside of 15 seconds, base he They traveled all over the United States and won something like 50 games. They were a good ‘“road team” like the 1924 Senators, for they were beaten only once. That was by the Forest City club of Rockford, Ill, which they met at Chicago, July’ 25~1867. The score was 29 ta 23 in favor of Rockford. The next day the Nationals met the Excelsiors of Chicago, a team sup- posed to be greater than the Rock- fords, and kicked the Excelsior out ot them. That year there was a great to-do as to which team was the real champion, Same this year. The Nationals of 1867 averaged 45 runs per game. The Nationals managed by Stanley Harris can't quite do that, but they have a bunch of batsmen who seem quite cepable of giving the pitchers of the New York Giants some sleep- less rights, A golfer wore suspenders in the Walker cup matches and was the object of much curiosity * * * Still we fear he wpuld have been the ob- Jject of much more if he hadn't wore them, " Mr. Ford says there won't be any such thing as a cow 25 years from now ¢ * & Tha Z brothers, however, will probably still be wrest- ling.

Fill your crank-case with high- heat-resisting Atlantic Motor Oil. Then give your motor the severest operating test you know— driving through dense traffic in low gear; up steep hills in second; over long stretches without stop. Atlantic won't break down! You yourself can tell: By the way your motor holds its power—by the way Atlantic keeps the pistons sealed; by the same quietness your motor has at the end of a run that it had at the start; by the “feel” of the oil before and after it has become heated. The extraordinary high-heat resistance of this oil is a recent achievement of the Atlantic refin. eries. Use it and know the full meaning of motor dependability, efficiency and longevity.
