WAUWATOSA MAJOR A BALL
TEAM

The Wauwatosa Major A ball team
won it's first game in the higher divi-
sion.
The former Junior team moved up
two classes in the Milwaukee Amateur
Baseball Association, skipping the
Minor class and entering the Majors.
Their first game was played last Sun
day at Washington Park against the
crack Rosenberg Elevators, who were
forced to take a decisive defeat at the
hands of our younger players. They
played an almost errorless game and
hit the opposing pitchers at pleasure.
The game ended with a score Of IA to
6 in favor Of Wauwatosa.
We have the boys and hope to have
the new diamond on the playground
ready in time for their next home
game Sunday, June 4. The whole city
should turn out to give the boys the
encouragement and help win the flag.

MEMORIAL DAY

"On Fame's eternal camping ground,
Their silent tents are spread"
Again the time approaches when the
nation will do reverence to it, oldier
dead. Memorial Day, 1922, will wit
ness anew the marching of strong coll
umns, for the age-seiried ranks of the
men of '61 will be filled by those who
survived Cuba, the Philippines, Cha
teau- -Thierry, Belleau Wood, st. Mi
hiel, the Argonne and every other
place and sort of service endured at
their country's call. The draped flags,
the muffed drums, the measured
tread, the cannons' deep tones and the
rifles blare in salute over graves COW
cred with the flowers Of spring, are
hut symbols of respect for those who
are sleeping under the final bivouac;
the real reverence, the real spirit of
the occasion, exists in the hearts
the people for whom the heroes died
and for whom the other heroes were
willing to die.
Wauwatosa, as usual, will observe
Memorial Day in a befitting manner,
The following is the prog ram as plan
ned by the Bernard A. Diedrich Post,
No. 78, American Legion, who have
charge of the day:

MEMS CLUB IN NEW QUARTERS;
LEGION OFFERS USE OF
COMMUNITY HOUSE

The Mems Club of Wauwatosa met
in the Community House, Wednesday
evening, May II. DIR. Eugene A.
Smith, president of the club, said that
the club in seeking a new meeting
place on account of its expanding
membership, had approached Mr.. Ray
Schoonmaker of the American Legion.
The offer was promptly made that the
Mems club was free 10 use the Com
munity House for its monthly meet
ings. The Legion took this way of
showing, Mr.. Schoonmaker said, that
it wanted the building to be a real
community center and had put it up
for that purpose. The offer of the Le-
gion was greeted by the club members
with an outburst of applause and on
motion of member, was accepted in
the spirit in which offered.
Mr.. N. Wilkinson presented the
project of viaduct over the river
and the railroad tracks on Main
street. He dwelt on the dangers of
the crossing and thought it should be
eliminated by means OF viaduct at
once. A model of the proposed via
duct was exhibited and picture
thrown on the screen. Mr.. j. A. b.
Tompkins spoke in favor of elevating
the railroad tracks instead of via
duct, as the solution of the problem.
Track elevation, he said, would do
away with dangerous crossings at
Hawley Road, 59th street and 6lst
street, as well as at Main street. A
committee was appointed to look into
the proposition of a viaduct and re-
port to the club at later date.
Mr.. VIM. II. Schuchardt, president of
the Public Food Commission of Mil
waukee, spoke on the general subject
of city planning and dwelt particu-
iarly upon the necessity of Milwau-
KEGS providing foI its future growth
He showed by chart that if the city
continued to grow as in the past, il
would have million people in 1875.
He was follcved by Mr.. Whitnall, Sec
retary of the County Park Board, who
spoke of plans for development outside
the city, particularly Of the river val
ley.
] Mr.. Muellner, Of the committee on
Parks and Fairgrounds, reported
through Mr.. Postel that the committee
was making arrangements for track
events in the afternoon of July 4th,
and that a number of medals would
be awarded. He also said fireworks
would follow in the evening of July 4.

PITCHING TO Be
BIG FACTOR In
WORLDS SERIES
Yanks Fayorites AS Short
Time Until Worlds
Series Opens
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
a United Press Lensed Wire

NEW YORK, Sept 27.-Pitching be-
ing considered the biggest factor, the
New York Yankees are being made the
favorites to win the World Series.
Many critics were of the same opinion
last year.
Rogers Hornsby, one of the leading
players of the National League, says
the Yanks will lose because the Giants
have better all-around ball club, will
hit better in the pinches and get more
out of their hits on the bases.
The Yanks are better ball club
than they were in the last SERIES Joe
Dugan at third base has made new
infield and Whitley Witt as a lead-off
man is a big improvement over Miller.
Babe Ruth ought to be of more as
sistance this year because he has been
taking care of himself lately and he
will be more than anxious to win back
some of the prestige that McGraw IS
pitchers took away from him last year.
If the Babe should go on a bit batting
tear in the series, the Yanks might
take the series in straight games.
While the Yanks aren't any too keen
about southpaw or curve ball pitching,
they should not be bothered much
1t may be argued that the Giants
will have it all over the Yanks on the
bench - and that is big factor to con
slider in a short series. Giant support
ers are backing the club just because
they figure that McGraw will pull the
team through, If the Yankees should
win the series, it will oe said that vic
tory came in spite of their manager.
