KMCMBnrt the Alamo" used to be
a slogan of revenge. It also could
be used even now as a tradition for battle.
It Is one of the' nnswer's thai America

There was no surrender here and no

"Base hits In baseball," comments an
exchange, "are" thn leading details upon
offense. They are tho run-getters and the
game-winners."
But are they? In tho American League
last season tho Athletics ran up 1291 base
hits
They made more base hits than the
White Sox. the Ked Sox or the Cleveland
Indians, who finished 1-2-3. -
Tho White Sox made only 1283 hits,
the Bed Sox 1241 and the Indians 1223.
Yet those clubs pet the pace, while the
Athletics finished last.
The only club that made more hits than
the Athletics wero tho Tigers, and they fin
ished fifth.
Hits, apparently, are not everything In
an ofTcnse.
Which recalls tho fact that the lleds last
season made more hits than any major
league team from either circuit.
But the Beds didn't score tho most runs
or win the most games.
What value should bo attached to runs?
Well, the Athletics scored more runs than
llvo clubs which beat them out. They
scored a good many moro runs thatT the
Bed Sox or Indians
In football a strong offense may prove
a good defence. But In baseball a weak
defense may wipe out a stout otfcnso.ion
any given afternoon or through nny given
season.
The Fun of It?
"Don't forget." writes a representative
from one of the smaller colleges, ' that It
was no fun for us to carry on a football
team this year. All our veterans are gone.
We have to put In most of our spare time
In drilling and other military work. And
we know In our football games It Is merely
a question as to whether wo get beat 20 to
0 or 40 to 0. Wo simply went through with
It because the Government asked every one
to do so. In my opinion, It Is Institutions
of this type, and there aro many of them,
who deserve moro credit than any winning
