WARSTLPR WISE LAD
IN BASEBALL WORLD
AT THE AUTO SHOW
Signing To Play In Indianapolis
Shows He Isn't a Victim of

Game Won't Spoil Him.
COMMENT  ON  THE   SPORT
[By BEN LONG]
Spring is climbing the stairs. No
doubt about it, even if this is February 16. As proof of this take a
look around baseball headquarters in
the Schick & Kieffer billiard parlors.
The big score board has a shining-
face and the "fans"—as devoted followers of the game are called—are
discussing the chances and lineup of
the teams in the big leagues.
Rap Warstler Going Up
, The signing of a contract by Rap
•Warstler, son of Ed, to play with
the Indianapolis club of the American
Association is causing considerable
comment inside and outside of the
S. & K. parlors, and the scoreboard
will have additional interest for the
crowds after the season opens. Last
year Rap played a star game with
Canton in the Ohio-Pennsylvania
League and his loss will be felt in
Canton.
Several years ago Warstler played
with the Hoover team here when
"Peg" Evans was manager. Harry
Storch was a member of the club at
the time, ancl these two old-time star
professionals gave young Rap many
a tip on how to play the game that
came in handy in later days. Those
who know Rap say he hasn't any
swelling under his cap, which means
that he will go a long way without
stumbling.
Big Money In the Game
There is much money ancl lots of
glory in baseball if you know how
to play the game as it ought to be
played. Take Bucky Harris as an example. A few short years ago he
was under tlie friendly wing of "Peg"
Evans in No^th Canton ready to don
a Hoover uniform. Today his name
is in the Social Register in Washington and his wife, a noted musician, is
the daughter of a former distinguished United States Senator. As Manager of the Washington team he
landed two pennants, and the President of the United States, cabinet
members and noted .diplomats attended the ..Harris-Sur/derland wedding.
That's'" what we call climbing with
speed.
The American Association
The American Association ranks
third in the baseball world, so it is
quite an honor for Rap Warstler to
be a member of a team in the largest
city in Indiana. They tell me he had
an offer to play with Brooklyn in the
American League. He was wise in
turning down the offer -until he has
played at least one season in the Association.
It frequently happens in the hig
leagues that a young recruit is permitted to roost on the players' bench,
eating his heart out, until an accident
to one of the players gives him his
opportunity. Then, again, the manager is ordered to reduce expenses
and the recruit is sent to one of the
minor leagues "until he develops the
necessary skill."
In doing his own selecting, Rap
makes or breaks himself. If he plays
ball to attract the attention of the
big league scouts he can do a little
dickering on his own hook when the
time arrives for him to make the
dive. Yes, a wise young man is Rap,
and here's hoping he has all the managers in balldom trying to land him
in 1928.
Some Good Sport Writers
The American Association is composed of Louisville, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Toledo, Kansas City, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Columbus. Last year
Louisville led the Association, winning 100 games and losing 62. Indianapolis came next with 9.4 won ancl
71 lost. Milwaukee won 93 and lost
71. Rather close for the Hoosiers.
"~ In the above towns are several good
sports writers, ancl if a young fellow
displays "the right stuff" the baseball scribes always say many nice
things about his playing. The newspapers published in the American
Association cities are strictly high
grade, which means the North Canton
lad will have little or no fault to find
with their criticisms.
Protecting Umpires
Baseball is perhaps the best officiated of all the major sport's, but it
wasn't always so. The present standard was only attained when the various leagues took the umpires directly under their wings, educated
them, examined them ancl sent them
out as league employes.
Ban Johnson'iS greatest single contribution to baseball—the supreme
service he rerldered—supreme above
all his other many services, was
his emancipation ancl elevation of the
umpire. Before Ban's day the umpire was merely the chopping block
upon whose luckless pate the rival
teams and the wild eyed crowds vented their spleen and goaled their pop
bottles.
Ban yanked him from this lowly
slough of disrepute and^scorn, armed
him with real authority, gilded him
with a coating of aloofness and
backed him to the uttermost limit of
a czar's all-encompassing power. Then,
and only then, did baseball go. places,
Iboth as a sport and as an industry.

New  Attendance   Figures   Setting   a
Record In Canton.
Visitors at the annual automobile
exhibition this week in the Land o'
Dance, Market avenue near 12th
Canton, are in many cases buyers of
cars, and any one who has attended
the show noticed the care with which
prospective purchasers are examining
the models on .display.
To date the exhibit has continued
the new attendance record that was
forecast when on the first day more
people visited the exhibition than in
any previous  opening.
The Ralph E. Hay Motor Co. are
showing the Jordan, Hupmobile and
Pierce Arrow, and these high-type
cars are attracting a lot of attention
from  both  men  and  women.
The Maloney-Zwick Motor Co., 002
Twelfth street NE., are displaying the
Oldsmobile  to  admiring  crowds.
The Chrysler "60" of which Haak
& Kolp Bros, are the representatives
for North Canton, is getting a large
share of admiration.
So are the Studebaker and the
Dodge cars of which the Julius Brown
Motor Co., are' the representatives in
North  Canton.
The Paige and Jewett are among
the beautiful cars people like to
gaze at in admiration. Eddie's Shop
in North Canton is the representative for this territory.
The Nash and the Chevrolet are
two cars that have a large following
and they are surrounded by many persons. Moose Bros, are the North
Canton representatives of these automobiles.
It is of interest in this connection
to note that exhibitors' salesmen have
expressed the opinion that 1927 visitors are motor-wise and interested
to a greater extent than in former
years. The completeness of the
equipment of the modern car, as indicated by the models, is worth comment. Twenty years ago even headlights, tops, winshields and speedometers were extra, while today on
almost every automobile such items
are conventional, in addition to oil
pressure guage and ammeter, automatic windshield wiper, rear-view
mirror and stop-light.
Off hand, it would seem that there
was nothing more to be added, but a
walk through the display will prove
that there are many new items of
equipment of great usefulness and
value.

The North Canton high school basketball teams sprung a surprise on

The girls won 17 to 12 and the boys
26  to  25.
The girls' game was rough with
much fouling by both teams. Neither
team showed its best work as the
referee did not call the fouls according to girls' rules.

During the meeting of the Nortli

Monday night in' the Community
Building, Ralph Young said he had
been asked by several members of the
new Library Association to ascertain
the feeling of the business men as a
body toward the project.
Ke said that The Woman's club had
raised $1000 for the purpose of establishing a library ancl that the town's
best-beloved resident had agreed to
give $1000. The books would be general in character and thus prove a
benefit to the pupils in the schools.
President Lee T. Lewis said he
would appreciate it if each member
expressd an opinion. Secretary Ben
Long declared he was in favor of a
public library and cited the value of
the circulating library the Community
Building was sponsoring. Elmer
Johnson and other members asserted
that it would be a good thing for
North Canton, and when it was put to
a vote the association went on record
in favor of the library without a dissenting voice.

I. Lawrence was the best scorer for
Louisville and Manchester of North

credit. She played an outstanding-
floor game as well. The North Canton guards played a strong steady
game with McCamant as the best defensive played. North Canton scored
five out of eight attempts from the

The boys' game was a splendid exhibition of good basketball. The teams
were quite equally matched with
North Canton having the edge on

Louisville defense quite consistently
for points but Louisville was not so
regular. When Louisville did score
they were able to run up four or

North Canton had difficulty in keeping

A capacity house greeted the fine
program given by the "Yellow Dogs"
last night (Tuesday) in the Community Building. Frivolity and fun in
abundance under the auspices of the

The Hoover Orchestra, all menibers

Later in the evening five members
of the orchestra were added to the
other list of candidates who were initialed foi- the amusement of those
who were in the audience.
Johnson Praises Building
Mr. H. Johnson made a few remarks previous to the raising of the
curtain in which he told of the principles of the Order of Yellow Dogs
and also spoke of the great benefit
the people in this vicinity derived
from the possession of a splendid
building like the Community Building
and its  many  activities.
He spoke of the opportunity to join
the Community Building membership
list as an acknowledgement of its
value to the community and expressed it as his belief that it was the duty
of everyone to support the building
by a membership and thus show their
appreciation of its value.
He mentioned the time for the membership campaign as during the month
of March, stating that every house in
North Canton would be visited and
urged that each person would place
a proper value on the social, mora!
and physical life of the Community
Building.
Mr. Johnson complimented the children and thanked the'm for their courtesy in sitting with their parents.

best friend.
The candidates were brought in one
by one and represented different characters, such as "Jiggs" Jack Johnson, Charlie Chaplain, Peaches
Browning, Ben Rudncr, Boob McNutt,
Villa and others. The work of the
first degree, friendship, was exemplified by each candidate rubbing noses
with the official emblem—the Dog on
the Pedestal.
Torturing the "Lucky Dogs"
The second degree consisted of shaving some of the candidates, placing
others at the end of a runway ancl
rolling big nine-pin balls toward them,
and one candidate climbed a pole
which was painted while he perched
at the top.
The third degree administered an
obligation tho like of which was never
heard in North Canton before, while
the candidates were on their hands
and knees. The obligation over, each
man was ordered to bark, and then
they barked in unison. This, of course,
created much amusement for the onlookers.

home  should   come  first.
"The home should be made as beautiful and comfortable as possible. All
parts of it influence the character of
its inhabitants. The well furnished
dining room tends to produce good
i manners; the beautifully furnished
living room tends to make happiness
and  comfort.
"If Tom likes to stay at Bill's home
rather than his own you can vouch
that Bill's home is the more beautiful
ancl comfortable and therefore the
more pleasing. The peaceful home is
the foundation of love; the attractive
home is the foundation of admiration
and the restful home is the foundation of comfort.
"Since the home is so great a factor  in   the   promotion   of  one's   best
qualities, should it not come first?"
