1 lUi JI Ull IkJ k ? MV w . ?^ Bowling Meet Draws Record Number Of Teanl ? >?d:ii_ r< 4? |1tr j Sports Review of the Week l^ist week we talked a little about baseball and how it doean't merit the title "national pastime." Since then we've had an opportunity to get a look-see at the Green Book from the National League and the Red Hook from the American League. They're both crammed full of statistics . . . everything from a complete list of Babe Ruth's records to the full roster of major league umpires (who cares about them ? ?). Remember Christy Matheson of the Giants? No. Well, Christy is one of the immortals of the game, having arrived just after the turn of the century. In 1903 he won 30 games. In the following 11 years he won more than 20 each year . . . 34. 31, 22, 24. 37. 25," 27. 26. 25. and 24. Not bad for Christy. He also won 20 games in 1901. That's a total of 348 games in 13 years, a little better than 27-per year average. His amazing number of victories helped the Giants pile up a total of 4,470 victories fn?m the day of the National League's beginning until the end of last season. You don't have pitchers like that these days . . . Another reason that the "national pastime" has passed. Others Are Saying ? Larry Boeck, Louisville Courier-Journal: An interviewer once asked Adolph Kupp to what he at tributed the spectacular success of his University of Ken tucky baseball teams. "Why, to good coaching of course," was Rupp's immedi ate and unqualified response. More recently, this volcanic personality, whose fabled baseball career contains the sport's most dramatic'elements \ of glory and tragedy, is being asked about his amu/ing suc cess as a farmer-businessman. The Rupp Bluegrass barony now is close to 1.000 acres, heavy with tobacco and cattle. He has a 200-acre tract in Woodford County, a 17-acre Scott County farm, a 266-acre Harrison County layout, and a 283-acre Bourbon County showpiece. One of his farms, however?the one in Wood ford?is up for sale, he says, to help pay for his latest addi tion, the $115,000 Bourbon County farm. The man who once was hirer! mistakenly by an Illinois high school as a wrestling coach before U. K. signed him fof basketball at $2,080 a year 23 seasons ago now has invest ments in land estimated to be worth more than $250,000. But Rupp, reared on a Kansas farm, laughs off the suggestion that he is a wealthy man. "I am comfortable," he says, "but I'm not wealthy. I'm selling one farm, maybe two, to help pay for my last pur chase. And, like most everybody else, I have had to borrow money; from the bank to help me make purchases and in vestments." Rupp's farms are lucratively based in tobacco?35 acres of this previous federally limited commodity are spread over his farms. His obsession, however, is Hereford cattle. He has some 160 head of registered stock on two farms. 30 Boys Turn Out For Initial Baseball Jobs At Waynesville High Thirty candidate* turned out at the call of Bruce Jaynes, baseball roach at high arhool here Monday afternoon.

It Is too early to predict what kind of team will be turned out this year, but if Interest means anything, the boys are out to win every game. Coaches are finding that there Is more Interest than eve^ In base ball, especially among the young boys.
