EUROPE ADOPTS
AMERICAN
METHODS
Athletic Development There
Fancied After System in
Vogue Here.

There could be no greater boost
for the advanced development of
athletic training in this country than
is displayed by the authorities abroad
in adopting American methods.
It is only within few years that
the conservatives on the other side
decried what they considered the
American habit of making business
of sport. It was said that Ameri-
cans took their sports too seriously
and that their only object was to
win.
The conservative theory that sport
was merely play and that winning
was a secondary consideration has
been generally discarded abroad.

Pirates for Second.

n1TTSBURGH seems to be get
ting riveted to second place
in the National. Second
place is high, but it isn't high
enough. / remember how low
second place really can be when
l remember a certain young man
who pitched for Cincinnati six
years ago. He was calling on a
sweet lady and had urged her
father to ask waivers on her in
the single league.
The old boy was anxious for
his gal to go up from the minors
and stretch a single into a double.
He liked this young ball player,
especially as he had beaten the
Phillies in an exhibition game.
The father, it seems, was kicked
off train one day in Philly and
the police there wouldn't believe
him when he said he wanted to
start up in business there.

When infielderS and outfielderS
are prone to be laid up, it is the
exception that a pitcher can wind
up week after week over twenty
three years and still find his mus
cles working freely.
Hank" Gowdy, the possessor of
one of the greatest whips that ever
hung from a catcher's shoulder,
also has been free from any wing
trouble during his long years of
service.
He can burn the ball on a line
60 second base with the same
speed that marked the height of
his career. GOwdy and Quinn
are two of the marvels of base
ball.
There never was a harder work.
or in the national pastime than
Quinn. He is always ready to take
his turn. He often served as relief
pitcher, going in after only a day
or two of rest, yet the timber old
souper never complained.
The only real reSpites he has
had were provided by injuries. He
was the victim of hard luck this
spring while coming north on the
exhibition trip with the Red Sox.
While at bat down in Kentucky
he was hit by a pitched ball on the
back Of the right hand and a small
bone was broken. He was out OF
competition for a month, but he
came back apparently better than
ever
The only way he can account for
the dependability of the ancient
ripper was plenty of practice
throwing stones when he was
youngster down in a Pennsylvania
coal mine town.
He does not recommend this
pastime for boys of today who
may have aspirations for pitch
ing jobs in big time baseball.
but he does believe that promis-
cuous heaVing of stones i'm his
youth developed muscles that
have enabled him to escape the
usual ailments of pitchers.
"It seemed that I always was
throwing stones when I was boy"
Quinn declared. 1--WE would skip
some object, and we got so we
could come mighty close to the tar
get. Probably. it also helped me
TO gain control.
THE motion was practically the
same in throwing a stone as a
pitcher uses in throwing a etaoinn
pitcher uses in pitching a ball.
Undoubtedly, I developed strength
and muscles that helped me to
break in easily as a pitcher.
II recall that when I started as
pitcher for the Dunbar, Pa, team
that it was no exertion for me to
pitch. and 1 always have had the
utmost freedom in my shoulder"
Quinn wants to round out TWEEN
ty-five consecutive years as
pitcher, and he may go beyond that
mark.

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of our darling
mother, Mary Gertrude Fletcball Hoskin-
son. whose soul winged its victorious flight
calmly and peacefully home to its Maker
and Savior on October 9th, 1928, aged
6S years, 8 months and days.
Mrs. Hoskinson was born on the Fletchall
farm February %. 1854. She was the
only daughter of the late Capt. John T.
Fletchall and Mary Poole Fletchal.
She united with the M. E. Church South
OF Poolesville. Md, during her young days
and since then has endeavored to the best
OF her ability and knowledge to humbly
follow in the footsteps of the gentle Jesus
She took an active part in church work
until failing health prevented her attending.
She is survived by her husband. Thomas
Hoskinson two sons, VIM. T. and Walter
b. Hoskinson; three daughters. Mary D.,
Stella G. and Lulu B. Hoskinson, and one
brother. Arthur P. Fletchall, all of Pooles-
vile.
The funeral services were conducted by
Il.
washington, D. c., assisted by Rev. j. M.
Mast and Rev. Walter Griggs, of Pooles-
vile. By her written request Rev. j. M.
Blakemore took for his text the 22nd chap
ter. 5th verse, of Revelations. There shall
be no night there and they need no can
die. neither light of the sun for the Lord
God eiveth them light; and they shall
reign for ever and ever"
Our community has lost one of its bright
est, noblest and most worthy citizens. Her
example was an influence for good to all
who knew her.
Her patience during her intense suffering
was so great that we have learned a
lesson of great virtue which we will never
forget She bore the terrible pain, the
heart-rending agony and the painful OPP
erations of the physicians to relieve her
patiently. and we may say heroically.
The kindest Of nurses, friends and loved
ones assiduously tended and helped her
during her sufferings.
We shall miss her, she is happier be-
yond this vale of tears. Our loss is her
eternal gain.
She had a sweet and amiable disposition
and was loved by all who knew her.
How sad it is to lose mother one who
has always been so devoted. loving and
kind.
Rest in peace, dear mother, sweet be
thy sleep until we meet in that haven of
rest, where God has promised to wipe all
tears from our eyes.
"0h how well each one did love her,
OH how good she was to all.
But. dear ones. the Shepherd called her.
Who doth note the sparrows fall,
Her gentle voice, her smiling face.
Are pleasures to recall,
She had kindly word for each,
And died beloved by all.
Through all her pains. at times she smiled,
A smile of heavenly birth,
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth'
By her loving and devoted
DAUGHTERS.
