Pipp Pr0peS Real Pippin
For the Clan of Donovan

1910 he had tried his hand at the pro
fcssional game with q club at Hast
ings, Mich, and with Grand Rapids, OF
the Central League. In 1911 he took
part in a few games with Kalamazoo, OF
the South Michigan League.
After the college season of 1872 Plpp
decided to adopt the game as his pro-
fession. He went back 10 Kalamazoo,
of the South Michigan League, where,
in siXty-eight games, he compiled a
batting average Of go. On August ~
of that year Kalamazoo sold the young
first baseman TO the Detroit club OF the
American League.
Pipp made the Southern training trip
with the Tigers in the spring OF 1913.
He did not take part in enough games
to qualify for the American League
averages before Detroit, on July ~,
sent him to its farm at Providence.
PLAYING fourteen games at first base
for the Grays, Walter hung up the fine
batting average Of .444, though he was
so green in other respects that Prov
dence released him to Scranton, OF the
New York State League, on August IA,
Of the same season.
Recalled by Tigers
Detroit recalled Pipp at the close OF
the 1918 season. In 1914 Pipp was again
farmed out by Jennings. This time he
went to the Rochester club. of the In
ternational League. Under John Camel
the big fellow found himself in every
sense of the word. He played 1854
games for the ,Broncos, batting .3l2
and' stealing twenty-siX bases. Pipp
led the league in runs batted I'm and in
extra base hits. lie was recalled by
Detroit on August 20. under the terms
Of an optional agreement.
In the winter Of of 1914-15, when
Messrs. Rupert and Huston were ne
Rotiating for the purchase Of the Yam
KEGS from the Frank j. Farrell inter
ests, President Ban johnson of the
American League used his influence
with certain other rival club owners
toward assuring the prospective pur-
chasers the opportunity to improve a
very bad ball club. President Frank j..
Navin of the Tigers at that time gave
New York options on Pipp and High
II is doubtful if Naviu realized at the
time what a wonderful ball player was
about to escape the Tiger lair.

May, 1775, succeeded in getting a few
boats and transported SO men across

Nothing daunted by the fact that
their force was so few, and making up
in patriotic devotion what they lacked
in numbers, Colonel Allen called for
volunteers for the perilous venture.

the gate of the fortress. The sentry

been idle but had beaten down the
barracks doors and had about a third
of the garrison prisoners. With slut

forthwith submitted and the fort was

the moon. called the nodes, where the
moon crosses the path of the earth
around the sun If a new or full
moon oceures when the moon is at
one end of these points, the moon
will be exactly in line with the cen
tres of the earth and the sun. II
the moon is new, its shadow falls
on the earth and produces solar
eclipse; but If it is full, the moon
itself Is obscured by the shadow OF
the earth and then we have lunar
eclipse.
A total eclipse of the sun is net
rare event, for about ten occur
every eighteen years; but since the
average of the shadow cast by the
moon on the earth during an eclipse
is less than one hundred miles, total
eclipses are visible as total over
only a small part of the earths sur
face. Thus. fer more than five
hundred years London never saw a
total eclipse and New York has not
seen one in more than a century.
The intense interest that astron-
omers now have in the sun is large
ly owing to facts that they have
learned by observations made during
total eclipses Studies OF the cor
ona, the chromoshpere ana the So
lar prominenees, made during the
brief periods of totality, have given
them invaluable information. The
