The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-10-15

Sixteen years ago when President
Roosevelt called on the men of Amer
lea to enlist in the great adventure of
cutting waterway from ocean to
ocean through the Isthmus of Panama
that the strength of the American
fleet might not be divided by a voyage
of weeks from the east to the west
coast there were thousands of volun-
teers who answered his call. To Pan
anna they went and built the great
canal, fighting all the time against per-
petual heat, almost perpetual rain,
feyers and all the pests of the tropics.
Many of them gave up the struggle
and returned home but others stayed
until the great dream came true. And
they are there yet in that far-fung
outpost of America by the locks that
are Tapped by the waters of two
oceans.
Again in April, 1917, came a call to
duty-a summons to war-and that
call was not unheard at the canal.
One by one men and women dropped
out of the shops and offices and
dOnned the army khaki and the navy
blue or the modest cap and cape of
the army nurse corps until on Novem-
Der II, 1918, the day Of the armistice,
there were approximately 500 Canal
men and women in uniform.
They saw service in all branches of
American arms. They were on land
and sea, in the air and under the wa
ter. They were versatile people and
they were fighters as their building of

MEDAL OF HONOR SAVED HIM
New Jersey Legion Member Escapes
Jail Sentence by Display of
His Emblem.

Sentimental considerations left out
of the reckoning, Frank Sadowski, an
American Legion member of Newark.
N. j.. found out the other day that a
Congressional Medal of Honor is a
handy thing to have.
SadOwski works in the day time and
sleeps at night. That is, he had been
sleeping of nights until couple of
loving cats began noisy courtship on
his back fence. Sadowski stood it as
long as he could and then went down
in his old barracks bag and dragged
out the trusty automatic he carried in
France. The cats became casualties
and Sadowski became a prisoner of
the law and was hailed into court
charged with disturbing the peace.
The evidence was all against him
and he was about to be sentenced
when. inadvertently. he mentioned
that he once killed six Germans sin
gle handed and captured their machine
gun with the same revolver with which
he routed the yowling cats. For this
feat he won Americas highest war
honor. and string of lesser medals.
He produced the medals as proof and
the judge let him off.

SHALL GIRLS BE ADMITTED?
Membership Question Looms Before
Officials of Legion-Some "Y"
Workers Present Claims.

A recurring question before the Off
Gals Of the American Legion IS that
of eligibility to membership. Just
where is the line to be drawn? Shall.
for instance, those "little sisters of the
army" the "Y" girls, be admitted to
full membership?
Although at present they stand with
out the pale there are some who be-
lieve they should be taken in. Some
of the girls themselves have very
modestly presented their claims. The
following is an excerpt from a letter
from Miss Sallie Lou Massey of Meri-,
dian, Miss, to the national COM.
mander:
Il am just one of hundreds of 'Y'
girls at home now, wearing pretty
clothes which don't seem quite right
after having worn the uniform. In
France we cooked, kept house, handed
out magazines and papers and danced
hundreds of kilOmeters we danced
all of which isn't so much, know, but
the spirit behind it made us feel that
we belonged to the men of the A. e.
f. and they to us. Has all this COM
radeship been shed with the uniform?
We have watched with high hopes the
development of the American Legion,
and in your splendid achievements

PITCHERS LIKE MAYS
ARE NEVER RELIABLE.
Case of Jack Chesbro Cited to
Excuse Yankee HurIer.
Some American League Players As.
sert New York Twirler "Beaned"
Chapman Observation-Disclosures
Fatal Accident.

Ihere is controversy on in the ma
Jor leagues as to the exact position
Mays holds in connection with the
death of Ray Chapman.
Some of the players claim that Mays
"beaned" Chapman intentionally and
that he should be barred from the ma
jor leagues forever in consequence Of
his act.
There have been more than fifty
years of professional baseball, and in
all that time there, has been but this
one fatal accident.
Time and again major league bats
men have been hit on the head with a
pitched ball, but with no after effects,
and time and again players have been
injured by the pitcher.
But with all these accidents, in the
fifty years there has been but this one
fatal occurrence.
For my part, put the sad incident
in the accident column and will let it
go at that. I can go even further
than that and cite an instance to
prove that spitballer or an under
handed pitcher has never complete
control of the ball, writes Al Sphinx in
Chicago Post.
In the year 1904 Jack Chesbro,
then called the "Iron Man," was about
the only out-and-out spitball pitcher
in the major leagues. He had deliv-

cry more like that of Mays than any
other pitcher have ever seen
In the year named the New York
Yankees and the Bostons were the
runners-up in the American league.
That year Chesbro had reached the
zenith of his fame. He had pitched
So games for the Yankees and won
Al Of them, the best major league rec
ord up to that time for two decades.
In the fall of 1904 Chesbro was Sc
lected to pitch for the Yankees in a
game that was to decide the cham
pionship Of the American league. In
the ninth inning of that game he was
called on for a supreme effort in the
pitching line, but instead of respond
ing, he made wild pitch, the ball
sailing over the batsman's head, CIV
ing the pennant to Boston.
CHESHIRE said afterward that the ball
had simply got away from him and
that the wild pitch was an accident
pure and simple.
Chesbro at this particular time was
considered one of the speediest of
pitchers and was a master in control
Of the ball.

Windsor, Ont.-The thoroughbred

on the American side of the border.
Man o. War, the greatest three-year-
old of the year, galloped home with the
equine honors of 1920 at KeniWorth
Jockey club track, at full eight lengths
in front of Sir Barton, the great four
year-old from Commander j. K. L..

Riddle is $4,000 Richer.
Samuel d. Riddle of Philadelphia,
owner of the victor is the richer by
the purse of $4,000, and gold cup
valued at $4,000.
The race was over course of a mile
and quarter at weight for age, the
winner carrying 120 pounds to the
losers 126. A 81 ticket on the winner
paid $2.10. A great crowd witnessed
the race.
The time, 2:03, was more than a
second slower than the record of each
horse Sir Barton has a mark of
2:01 As, which was later tied by Man
o. War. The slow time was partly due
to the fact that the victor was never
in danger from the time he took the
lead at the first sixteenth pole
Sir Barton drew the rail and was
away with jump, but the lead was
short-lived. Jockey Clarence Hummer
sent Man o. War alongside and then
ahead. When the stands were reached
at the end of the first quarter, the
Riddle horse had a two length lead.
Sir Barton Left Behind.

Man o. War in check to the three
quarter pole, then let out a wrap and
the great three-year-old responded with
a burst of speed that left Sir Barton
eight lengths behind before the stretch
was reached. The last quarter mile
down the stretch was an easy gallop,
with Hummer visibly easing up his
mount.

COMMON ERROR in GRAMMAR
Words "Begun" and Began" Are
Wrongly Used by Those Careless
In Their Speech.

1t Is quite common to hear some
one say, 81 begun to do that work
yesterday" "the battle begun between
the two armies" etc. This use Of
begun" to express the past tense
sometimes called the preterit) of
"begin" Is not incorrect, according to
some authorities on the uses Of words,
but there is fairly general agree
ment that the better word to use is
began" If you wish to safeguard
yourself against possible criticism, say
81 began to do that work yesterday"
'The battle began between the two
armies" etc., not begun"
Richard Grant White, In ''Words
and Their Uses," a high authority,
criticizes and condemns the use of
begun" instead Of "began" to express
the past.
OF course, 1t is incorrect beyond any
doubt to say, Il have began" to ex-
press the perfect tense Of begin"
Say, 81 have begun" never 81 have
began" Dispatch.
