JOHN [. BALLAINE GIVES SOUVENIR
 ID PRES. HARDING
ROOSEVELT WAS IN- sTRUMENTAL IN SECURING
 NAME OF "SEWARD"

The official naming of the majestic entrance to Resurrection Bay as Harding Gateway" coupling Presi- dent Harding's name with the names of two other great Americans, Will liam H. Seward and Theodore Roose- welt, in the historic associations of this Gateway to Alaska, was one of the events of President Harding's Alaska trip which pleased him most, by his own frank admission on seV- eral occasions during his stay in Sew ard
 The incident took on an added feat ure Wednesday evening, to the deep qualification of President Harding, when John E. Ballaine presented him with a photographic letter written to MT. Ballaine on October 10, 1903, to President Roosevelt, when MT. Bal laine was in Washington, D. C., get ting a postoffice established in the new town on Resurrection Bay and having the Alaska Central surveys ap- proved. In that historic letter MT. Ballaine pointed out to President Roosevelt the patriotic reasons why the name Seward" should be given to this place, as he had peitioned, but which the Postoffice Department had refused to allow on the ground Elat there were already two postoffices of that name in Alaska.
 President Roosevelt wrote in his own hand on the margin of MT. Bal laines letter to J. M Bristow, then fourth assistant postmaster general:
 My Dear MT. BristOw: 1 heartily agree with the patriotic sentiments expressed by Mr. Banaine T. R."
 In presenting a photographic copy of that letter to President Harding Wednesday evening, MT. Ballaine wrote the President a letter of cour- tesy and compliment as follows:

Letter to President Harding

seward, A4dSkd, JulE 1i, IJZ0.
 Dear President Harding: The dis tinction conferred upon the entrance to Resurrection Bay, on which Sew ard is situated, by the bestowal of your name as it's official designation, Harding Gateway" in honor of the first visit to Alaska by a President of the United States, makes il appTOpri- ate, 1 trust, to present you with photographic copy of a letter written by me to one Of your distinguished predecessors, President Roosevelt, on October 10, 1903, when l established Seward, and endorsed on the margin in President Roosevelts hand writing in support of the application I had made to have the name of Seward given officially to postoffice in the new town.
 The marginal endorsement by Pres ident Roosevelt secured the prompt granting of my request and Seward began it's career. '
 After the lapse of twenty years. the Alaska Central Railway, which I orig mated. promoted and built, has ex. banded into the government owned railway, extendi~~s rom Seward to Fairbanks 467 miles, and the fore casts outlined in my letter to Presi- dent Roosevelt are in fair way to full realiZation, .-.
 It is singular and happy coinci- dence that three names notable in America and in Alaskan history Seward, Roosevelt, Harding-sheuld thus be intimately associated in all future time with the Gateway to this Empire of Alaska, destined, let us hope, to play large and useful parl in our National life.
 l ask you to accept this photograph ic copy of a historic letter with my compliments and with assurances of my sincere respect.
 Very truly yours,

 What ancient race of people produced these re- markable examples of sculpture? Surely not the Polynesians who now dwell on Easter Island, for they have no knowledge of stone carving and look upon the ancient statues as "the handiwork of the gods" This enigma has for several years occupied the attention of two investigators in particular, Prof. Macmillan Brown, noted antpodean scien- tifc worker, and MT. Frank Burnett an archaeo- ogist who has spent the last twenty-five years in the South Seas and South America.
 DOTH of these scholars, working independently, ID have recently returned to civilization Prof.
 Brown, coming directly from Easter Island, reached Sydney Aus, on Aug. 30, and MT. Burnett, who had followed the trail of the evidence to South America, emerged at Vancouver few days later. Both have issued statements summarizing their work the problem, and both have arrived at this amazing conclusion: that the Easter Island re- mains point unmistakaby to great Pacific Con- tnent, to an empire and civilization which were completely wiped out and submerged under the sea by some vast natural cataclysm.
 From the state of certain images left unfin- ished in a peculiar manner" reads Prof. Browns brief and recently cabled statement in part, "it seems almost indubitable that an abrupt aban- doment of the work must have taken place"

The Polo Grounds was enlarged to
irs present capacity this year. The
task was started shortly after the
close Of the 1922 foot ball season and
was not completed until late in the
present season. The work consisted
of extending the grandstand along
both sides of the field and removing
the old bleachers. This gave the
grounds an additional capacity of
some $4,000 persons.
The Giants first started to play at
155th street and sth avenue back in
1889. and except for a short break in
1911 have been playing in that vicin-
ity ever since. The hiatus was caused

that season the present concrete stand
was built by John T. Brush, who was
then owner of the club. While the
was being rebuilt the Giants
played at the Yankees field. at 16Sth

From 1913 up to this season the
Polo Grounds also was the home. field
of the Yankees, who paid an annual
rental for it's use to the Giants.

YAMKS SHOULD GIVE
THANKS TO RED S0X

An interesting sidelight in connec-
tion with the Yankee hurting corps Is
that every one of them first emerged
to the limelight of stardom with the
Boston Red Sox or the Philadelphia
Athletics.
Pennock, who led the American
League pitchers through the 1928
season. became member of Connie
Mack's Athletics In 1912, and remain
ed with the team until 1915, when he
went to the Red Sox. He was ac-
quired by the Yankees from the Bos-
exchange for several youngsters.
Jones, called Sad Sam" played
with Cleveland in 191fand 1915. but
1916 found him with the Red Sox.
Yankee tradesmen were busy again
that year. and Sad Sam" became a.
New Yorker. He wasn't at his best
in 1922, but 1928 brought him back
to the top, and he has done every
thing in the pitching line. including
a no-hit game against the Athletics
and some others almost as good.
Shawkey was a member OF the Ath-
letics from 1913 to 1915. He came to
the Yankees in 1915 when Coils. Rup-
pert and Huston began building up
their star combination, and has been
a regular ever since. His pitching
arm worked exceptionally well this
year.
Hoyt was taken fresh from high
school in Brooklyn in 1918 and made
New York Giant. He warmed
benches for McGraw, and became q
Red Sox in 1919. In 1921 he donned
a Yankee uniform and was one of the
stars Of the season. He won two
games and lost close one in the
1921 world series. He was more or
less of an in-and-outer last year, but
regained some Of his great form in
1923.
Bush, a Mackman from 1912 to 1917
and q Red Stocking from 1918 to 1921.
became Yankee in 1922 in another
New York-Boston trade. He was a
star of stars in the 1922 season for
the Yankees, but a surprising failure
in the world series with the Giants.
Mays, with the Red Sox from 1915
to 1919. came to New York. for the
1920 season.

as something of a lalIapaloosa after

the Giants In a world series some
years before. But Bush blew his
the latter in fit of childish petu-
lance that is never likely 10 be for
gotten.
All TwirIers Are Ready.
There was not one of the pitchers
of either team that was not fit TO go,
Much rest had been given them all;
too much, perhaps.
1t was Hobson's choice in advance
OF the opening game as to whether
fugglnS started Hoyt Pennock or
Jones, while with McGraw il was
toss-up among Nehf, Scott and Wat
son.
The trouble always with Hoyt is
that he does not keep his ego tanned
on all occasions. When things break
well for him he is a world -beater,
but when they go the other way the
old ego is likely to break the chain
and run up the fiagpole in centerfield,
chattering madly at the remainder of
the world
Pennock is fine left-hander but
Is pitcher who is more likely TO
pitch beautiful contest after the
the procession. In other words, he
does not possess the confidence in his
skill that a pitcher needs to lead off.
Jones is nearer the ideal pitcher in
such situation because if he got
away with his first game he would
be good to repeat.
Nehf has had enough rest to bring
good game to an arm that has been
less efficient this year than last He
has beaten the Yankees before and
has the necessary confidence for the
important assignment. In his case ii
is largely question of control.
Scott Hns Had Fair Season.
Scott has had a pretty fair season.
but his work has not stood out like
that of Watson, who has proved to be
one of the Giants best pitchers In a
pinch. McQuillan's work lately has
not entitled him to serious considera-
ton as a world series starter.
Indications are that good weather
will. prevail through the series until
it is prolonged to the limit. The
grounds of both teams have been doc
tored to nicely, although both dia-
monds would have been better off had
they had fewer shows on them. The
Yankees had an admirably turfed in
field until the grass was rodeoed out
of existence.
Open sunshine probably will incline
both managers toward curve pitchers
rather than speed pitchers, for the
curve is more effective in the sun and
speed works better under the clouds
No longer is the winning of the first
game significant of the final outcome,
although it is very desirable asset.
In 1921 the Yankees won the first two
games and were thraShed and in 1922
they did not win anything and were
thrashed. So the most can be made
out of that SO far as the first game
goes.
There probably will be a little more
batting on the Yanks' ground than
at the Polo Grounds, especially if there
is an abundance of sunshine through
out the series.
