THERE is a big flag across from the
scoreboard. On the day when the
Nationals lost to st. Louis, to 3, the
lineup showed that Engle would pitch.
And at that moment a tricky breeze
twisted the flag around the pole until it
was upside down.
A man in the rear of the crowd looked
at the flag.

There seems to be quite a bit of truth
in the remark of a man whose friend in

Not him. said the man. When you
figure that he's always got to have the
edge on the other man by 40 per cent
you'll see how he's the same. If you're

and still later the cross of ST. Andrew
were superimposed on the flag, but in
discovery days only the one cross was
there.
Following the erection Of the colonies,
each colony had it's own flag. and these
several times were changed. In addition,
it was the practice of leading men of
each community to raise a militia COM
pany, or troop, of their own, being elected
captain thereof, and each captain de-
signed the flag of his organization and
the uniform to be worn. These flags and
these uniforms were many and varied

existence to 1877 and possibly later.

This country has known flags almost
without number. First. of course, was
the flag of Spain, brought here by Co
lumbus, and the church flag accompany
ing it. Then came the red cross of st.
George on the English flag. carried by
the Cabots. Early in the sixteenth cen
fury came the French discoveries, fol-
lowed by the Portuguese, and then. In
turn, by the Dutch in 1909. In hunting
out these old flags or record of them to
determine just what design was carried
by the discoveries, / have had many
curious experiences.
For example, the first representation
of the Portuguese flag l saw was on the
charts made by the earliest Portuguese
discoverer, Pedro RENAL These charts

Wanting to get away from anything
used before they settled on the stars,

heavens and the stars the eyes of God

never had been used in a flag, SO far as
the records show

red represented courage. the white purity
and the blue loyalty and devotion. To
put it bluntly, this legend is pure rot.
There is nothing in existence to counte-
nance the legend at all
Now, as to the tradition of the flag
being taken from the Washington coat
of arms. The fact is that not until his
later life was Washington at all inter
ested in his family coat of arms In
1893, sixteen years after the flag was
adopted a celebrated English anti
quarian wrote to Gen. Washington. for
warding a drawing of the coat of arms
of the English Washington family, and
asked him if it also was his. Washing
ton wrote back: 4 confess it is mat

ton, but 1 believe the coat of arms is

entirely unsupported by evidence, has it
that at the suggestion of Mrs Ross Gen.
Washington redrew the design in pencil
in Betsy's back parlor, and from it Betsy
made the first star-spangled banner ever
foated on the breeze.
Betsy Ross may have made the first
star-spangIed banner ever made, says
Mrs. Ball; she very probably did. And
she and her family continued to make
flags for sixty years. But the legend
that George Washington drew the design
for her, and that he did SO as early as
June, 1776 is not supported by single
item of evidence.
80 far as evidence is concerned, there
is absolutely nothing to show who was
the designer of the flag of the United
States History and written records are
absolutely silent on the subject. Nowhere
can l find record of there being a star
spangled banner until Saturday, June IA.

We're recognized in colonial days in this
country. These are flags of the separate
colonies. of different military orsaniza-

flag of the United States of which she
does not possess a replica.
Most of her flags she has made herself
copying them from design and descrip-
ton. or from the real flag preserved in
some historical museum or private col
lection. She even has a replica of the

Among the traditions which she asserts
are absolutely unfounded are that the
flag of the United States in design was
taken from the Washington coat of arms,
and that George Washington, in June,

upon Betsy Ross, an upholsterer, in Phil

of these commands, distinguishing flags

them.

Other flags of the period bore the words
Liberty and Union on the red. such a
flag was raised at Taunton Mass in
October, 177I. A further variation was to
add the British superimposed red, white
