While Ted Williams, of the Boston Red Sox, gets $125,000 against Babe Ruth’s top of $80,000 in ’31, Ted’s net after taxes is $62,028; Babe’s was $68,535. Also, because of rising prices over past 20 years Ted would now have to be paid $327,451 to equal Ruth’s ’31 buying power. Each time I pass a church I always pay a visit; So when at last I’m carried in the Lord won’t say, "Who is at?” W. N. C. INDUSTRIAL BASEBALL Managers of the different W. N. C. Baseball teams are now holding meetings to formulate plans for the 1953 season of the W. N. C. In dustrial Baseball League. Ecusta will open the season at home on Wed nesday, April 15, with Beacon. Berkeley will play Enka at Berkeley. The league will operate a two games per week schedule beginning Apr. 15. Tentative plans are to start practice sessions here at Ecusta in early April. All persons interested in trying out for the team should watch the bulletin boards for information or contact the Athletic Office. Ty Cobb compiled a batting average of .367 for the 24 years he was in organized baseball. He held the highest batting average for one season in the American League. In 146 games, in 1911, his average was .420. George Sisler tied this record in 192 when his average was .420 for 142 games. THE GREATEST THINGS Dr. Frank Crane described the greatest things in the world as follows; The greatest sin . . . fear. The best day . . . today. The biggest fool ... the girl or boy who will not go to school. The greatest deceiver . . . the one who deceives himself. The most beautiful woman . . . the one you love. The greatest mistake . . . giving up. The most expensive indulgence . . . hate. The easiest thing to do . . . finding fault. The greatest troublemaker . . . talking too much. The worst bankrupt ... the soul that has lost its enthusiasm. The cleverest man ... the man who does what he thinks is right. The best teacher ... the one who makes you want to learn. The best part of religion . . . gentleness and cheerfulness. The meanest feeling . . . jealousy. The greatest need . . . common sense. The best gift . . . forgiveness. ARE DEATH CAUSES CHANGING? Very much so. The leading causes of death to day are heart diseases, cancer, apoplexy, accidents and nephritis. In 1900 the leading causes were tuoerculosis, pneumonia, enteritis (diarrhea) and heart disease. The first three of the 1900 causes have been eliminated as primary causes of death, thanks to progress in medical science. 12
