NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 22 1918.

One hundred and eighty four years ago today occurred the birth of one of the greatest of the worlds great men, George Washington, first presi- dent of the country in which we at present dwell.
 To many persons Washington repre- sents only an idealistic figure In the history of the nation, a wonderful personality surely, yet one whose counterpart may be found some where among the distorted figures of nearly every nation of long lineage; a man, doubtless great, possessing many vir- tues and attributes to distinguish him from his fellows, yet, whose claims to veneration are rather the result of years of beautifed memory than of actual merit The history of nearly every nation discloses some one person who is credited with the possession of personal qualities of the highest order; one who towers like some colossus above the fellows of his race and who is generously accepted by his country men as having been the living person iication of all possible human virtues No nation but has it's national hero, TO race but has possessed some one 10 whom 1t looked with reverence and
 
 all that was noble, brave and virtuous.
 Tbs Is natural
 that omong all those heroes whose lig has shone in darkness and tur- moil of national discord and distress, none have achieved such illustrious fame in the thoughts of all mankind, regardless of race or creed, as has been granted to Washington. This is perhaps the greatest proof that his fame rests not on a purely national regard, that the honor and reverence accorded him is founded not on one great quality or virtue. alone, but upon many.
 Indeed In all the history of men there are few in whom the universal mother has combined so many great qualities as were displayed in the life and scts of this great American AS one retraces the years that elapsed between his taking command of the American forces until he laid down his office at the conclusion of his last term as president of the great repub- lie which had been born of his mighty efforts, one cannot but realize that here was one whom the gods had in deed endowed.
 Compared with Linn, how the other great hgpres of the period. even the greatest, shrink and diminish The spiritual dignity of his altruism sits not upon Franklin; hs breadth and catholic charity of judgment belonged neither to Hamilton nor Jefferson; and who would compare him with the Madisons, the Jays, the Morrises or the Ameses or others of the time, able men though they were.

would lose no time in making such a
move, as Sinclair. with the Federal

ball club out of the Yankees. Johnson
is anxious to have the New York

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 12.-Word came
from Cleveland last night that Ban
johnson, president of the American
League. was greatly concerned over
the negotiations for the Giants by Sim

smart base ball politician, probably
realizes that if tho Giant deal is con-
summated the National League will be
able to laud it over the American
League in this city. McGraw, able to
strengthen his team with such stars
as Kauff. Magee, Seaton and others,
would possibly monopolize the patron
age of the fans, providing the Yankees
could not obtain some star players, too.
1t is known that Johnson is on friend
ly terms with Sinclair and that the oil
man recently tried to buy the Yankees.

commission will be permanent, over a
long period of years, but it is certain
that no change will be made for an
other twelve months, at least"
AS a matter of fact it is hard to
see what could take the place of the
commission, which has been in exist
ence for twelve years-ever since peace
was declared between the American and
National Leagues in the fall of 1903.
During that time this body has been
in supreme charge of all disputes be-
tween the major league clubs, and also
acted as a supreme court in the matter
of minor league disputes. Its decisions
have been aminently fair and have met
with the approval of all those who are
familiar with conditions. For the past
two years the commission has had A
lot of trouble in trying to solve the
Federal League attack by means of
expensive law suits. but that time is
now over.
Until it became necessary to pay
huge legal fees in the course of the
fight with the Feds the commission
derived its entire support from the 10
per cent of the world series receipts
which it received. For the past two
years some contributions have been
necessary from the two major leagues
on account of the enormous legal ex-
penses involved, and also because the
last two world series were rather short
and the incomes curtailed.
y Baltimore base ball writer sent a
wire to Chairman Herman The other
day asking in pleading language why
the Monumental city cannot get a big
league franchise and mop into the main
show. Herrmans reply was Simply
because both major leagues have sat
isfactory circuits which they do not
care to change"
The last experience that any ma jor
league had with Baltimore was in the
year 1902, when McGraw managed the
team there in the American League,
and it had on it's roster many of the
stars of the game. Yet it is a matter
of absolute record that during that
season Baltimore drew just little
below $4,000 fans at home, and of
course the club lost heavily.

Negotiations had nearly reached a
successful conclusion between the Navy

game for next fall. but the latter was

some games in which the second string
players may take part.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-12

The figures he names are, of course,
unheard of in base ball. There is not
chance for any one to pal such prices,
for there is no player in the game who
would have such value. A club which
would pay $4,000 for either of these
players would be taking a long chance,
for the reason that both still have to
prove that they can hold their own in
fast company where rubber balls are
not used and where the pitching is of
decidedly more class than they have
been accustomed to during the past two
years.
But Sinclairs prices must not be
taken seriously. He is said to be quite
jester. and this is probably one of
his jokes.
There is no question that the New
York Giants. with Polo Grounds in
cluded, are worth every cent of the
81. 400 900 that Hampstead has asked for
the e. per cent of the stock of the club.
The club holds a ninety-nine-year lease
on the site the Polo Grounds on, and
there is no more modern ball park in the
country and no better town to get the
money with a winning team.
If franchises like those of the st.
Louis Browns and Chicago Cubs are
worth over half million dollars the
figure set by Hampstead is compare
lively reasonable. and if Sinclair and
Gaffney are sincere in their desire to
become owners of the Giants they can
well afford to pay the price and be as
sured of big profits il they can give Nc
Graw the players required to make the
Giants a winning aggregation.

truth in any such rumor." he says.

Dies of Hydrophobia.

Heiskell Hawkins, of Greer, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Hawkins, died at a
local hospital last night, Of hydro
phobia. He was ten years of age.
Two months ago a strange cat
came to the Hawkins home and Heis-
skeIl tried to befriend it; gave it food,
but the cat attacked the boy and bit
him. on the heel. The child struck
the cat, which returned to the attack,
biting and scratching him on the leg:
The wounds were not thought Sc
rious but his parents nevertheless
had them treated by physicians in
Greer. One week ago they became
alarmed and the boy was brought to
sSpartanburg. His death occurred
about midnight. Attending physi-
clans diagnosed the case as one of
hydrophobia.
The body will be taken to Pleas
ant Hill church, near Greer, for in
5terment this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Ross, will con-
duct the funeral services.-Spartan-
