ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY EDITED READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE TT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOFLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Among: Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To All. VOL. 5—NO. 16. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1927. .00 PER YEAR. WARSTLPR WISE LAD IN BASEBALL WORLD AT THE AUTO SHOW Signing To Play In Indianapolis Shows He Isn't a Victim of Swelled Head and That the 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. Live Like Millionaires How the shades of Pop Anson, 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. LATEST IN CLOTHES SCHOOL BB TOSSERS DEFEAT LOUISVILLE BOOST FOR LIBRARY North Canton Lads and Lasses Take Both Games, Although the Boys Had a Narrow Escape In the Second Period. HONORS EVENLY DIVIDED The North Canton high school basketball teams sprung a surprise on Louisville on Friday night and won both games on the Louisville floor. 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. North, Canton did not get going until the second half. Louisville managed to keep a slight lead during the first half, but it was never more than a few points. The half ended S to 5 with Louisville in the lead. N. C.

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.

North Canton scored five out of eight attempts from the foul line. Manchester made the five points out of seven chances. Boys Played Well The boys' game was a splendid exhibition of good basketball. The teams were quite equally matched with North Canton having the edge on floor work. They broke through the Louisville defense quite consistently for points but Louisville was not so regular. When Louisville did score they were able to run up four or more points in quick succession and North Canton had difficulty in keeping the score in their favor. Louisville overcame a lead in the second period and the half ended at 13 tie.

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 social committee, H. Johnson, chairman, of the Community Building.. The Hoover Orchestra, all menibers of the Yellow Dogs, played several opening numbers and every person present was filled with enthusiasm a.s was cvidcr.cad by the applause. 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. When the curtain went up an artificial dog was displayed mounted on a pedestal ornamented with three F.'s which the audience was informed stands for friendship, fidelity and fun, the three principles of the order.

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.

It was a contest promoted for the Public School Students, of 140 words, subject, "Your Home„Should Come First." The prize was ?20. The essay submitted by young Wolfsperger follows: "There are many ways in which one may spend money,—for clothing, in amusement, or on the home; but the 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.

VOL. 5—NO. 16. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1927. .00 PER YEAR. WARSTLPR WISE LAD IN BASEBALL WORLD AT THE AUTO SHOW Signing To Play In Indianapolis Shows He Isn't a Victim of Swelled Head and That the 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. Live Like Millionaires How the shades of Pop Anson, 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. LATEST IN CLOTHES SCHOOL BB TOSSERS DEFEAT LOUISVILLE BOOST FOR LIBRARY North Canton Lads and Lasses Take Both Games, Although the Boys Had a Narrow Escape In the Second Period. HONORS EVENLY DIVIDED The North Canton high school basketball teams sprung a surprise on Louisville on Friday night and won both games on the Louisville floor. 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. North, Canton did not get going until the second half. Louisville managed to keep a slight lead during the first half, but it was never more than a few points. The half ended S to 5 with Louisville in the lead. N. C.

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.

North Canton scored five out of eight attempts from the foul line. Manchester made the five points out of seven chances. Boys Played Well The boys' game was a splendid exhibition of good basketball. The teams were quite equally matched with North Canton having the edge on floor work. They broke through the Louisville defense quite consistently for points but Louisville was not so regular. When Louisville did score they were able to run up four or more points in quick succession and North Canton had difficulty in keeping the score in their favor. Louisville overcame a lead in the second period and the half ended at 13 tie.

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 social committee, H. Johnson, chairman, of the Community Building.. The Hoover Orchestra, all menibers of the Yellow Dogs, played several opening numbers and every person present was filled with enthusiasm a.s was cvidcr.cad by the applause. 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. When the curtain went up an artificial dog was displayed mounted on a pedestal ornamented with three F.'s which the audience was informed stands for friendship, fidelity and fun, the three principles of the order.

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.

It was a contest promoted for the Public School Students, of 140 words, subject, "Your Home„Should Come First." The prize was ?20. The essay submitted by young Wolfsperger follows: "There are many ways in which one may spend money,—for clothing, in amusement, or on the home; but the 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.
