TO THE "BIRDDs" OF NEWPORT
NEWS, GENERALIZATION

The Newport News Eagles took n
"trip over to Norfolk yesterday and. in
cdcntally, there were scores OF other
acrics of Eagles there. The Newport
News Acrlc went across Hampton
Roads on plain every day steamer
but II they could have returned the
way they most desired they would
have come hack on wings. The de-
sire for wings was Il consuming am
hition to get up high. They wanted
to he Eagles In every sense Of tho
word for the time being. ut least,
During thci' brief stay In Norfolk
they reached quite height from n
mundhnc standpoint, and 1t was nat
nml that they wanted to soar oven
still higher.
Tho cause of NIL this citation and
desire to so way up high was due to
the fact that the Newport News
Eagles were yesterday awarded the
prize for being the second best ap.
pcn.fne acrlc In the parade. Second
prize Is not the first. but second In
this case IL us good rs many firsts In
other instances. Tho prize was given
TO Newport News only after the most
intense rivalry. There were aorlos
in the parade who had come miles
In CIDER to secure one OF the coveted
prizes. ana Newport News was not
gcuernlly regarded MS Icing "in It,"
hut In immaculate white uniforms
marching MS though they had spent
tho greater part of their lives within
The walls and moats of Fort Monroe,
they wendell thch' way through the
old streets of Norfolk in II manner
that made the hearts of every resi-
dent of Newport News glad that IL
had such worthy organization TO
applaud and cheer.
The Newport News Eagles won
their signal victory because they dc
scwcd ii. There was II question OF
whether they should not have recciv
cd the fist. But that is all right. They
did get second and to the Newport
News birds OF freedom we extend our
hcartiest congratulations. There is

make fine birds" but over in Norfolk
