During the first week in May let's
spend as little time as possible in

possible, and then put on our

soURcE-A given name.
The family names Of Hughes Hew-
son and Hughson, which have been
derived from the given name Of
Hugh, already have been discussed.
But there are two family names which
come from this same given name
through certain Of its variations. They
are Hewett and Hewlett.
The given name Of Hugh was, Of
course, far more common in the mid
die ages than it is today; not so much
among the Saxon English, who got it
on only from the Normans, as among
the Normans themselves and the peo-
pies of the continent. The influence
of religion in those days was very
strong. Christian names were then
truly "Christian." That is to say,
they were names made famous by
were given by parents to their Off
spring in a conscious religious spirit.
Among those who contributed to
popularizing the name of Hugh was
whose date is given as 11o9 A. D., and
who later was canonized. A Saint
Hugh also was bishop Of Grenoble
later IN the same century. and about
the middle of the next century, ac-
cording to popular fable. there was
an infant martyr of this name. al
legged to have been crucified by the
Jews Of Lincoln.
"Huet" was a diminutive variation
of this name of Hugh. which was
widespread among the Normans, and
1t has come down to us as a family
name formed from it in the regular
manner. which has been described
many times in these articles.
Another variation Of the Normans
was "Huelot," which with certain
changes Of spelling but very little
variation in pronunciation has become
the modern family name of Hewlett

HERE'S MAYS ALIBI
Yankee Pitcher Says Waistline Pre-.
vented Underhander i'm 1922.

New York, March 24.-"F Fifteen
pounds too much weight is what handi-
capped me last year." is the way Carl
Mays explains his poor pitching in
1922.
Il am going to show lot Of big
league managers the coming season
that / am far from through as a big
Lacquer. l will win 20 games for the
Yankees"
Tire you have the ultimatum
from pitcher on whom 10 Of the
16 major league clubs waived.
The solution offered by Mays for
his poor showing last year is log
zeal. The success of Mays peculiar
.underhand delivery depends on how
low he is able to get with the ball.
A waistlinc that was four or. five
inches too big last summer seriously
handicapped Mays in starting the
ball low.
Mays has two distinct deliveries.
An underhand curve thrown with
fair speed that rises and breaks out
MS it ncars the batter. His fast ball.
delivered in much the same way but
with greater speee, brea'fs down much
like spitball.
As a result. the batsman was CON
stantly at sea as to what to expect.
Early last season it was apparent
that Nays' fast ball was missing.
That enabled the batters to set for
the underhand curve, and hit Mays

WON TWO REMNANTS In
MINORS AND WENT UP,
ALL IN ONE SEASON
That's Pitching Story Of
Vedder Sitton Back
in 1908.

New York, March 24.-The debut
of college players in the majors is
usually attended by some interesting
incident.
The immediate success Of frankie
Frisch and George Sisler has offered
many opportunities for the sport
writer's to grind out readable tales
about these two stars.
1t is doubtful, however, IL any col
lege player ever had as big first
year in professional circles as did
Vedder Sitton, who years ago starred
at Clemson College in South Caro-
lima.
Graduating in June, he practically
won two minor league pennants in
his first year out and finished by
joining the big show before the base
ball curtain was rung down for the
year.
In 1903 vedder Sitton was the ace
Of the pitching staff Of the Glenn
son baseball team.
The Clemson nine had big season
and Sitton's work stood out very
prominently. He was senior that
year and Immediately after COM
mencement he Joined the Jacksonville
Club, which was then a member of
the South Atlantic League.
Jacksonville was in the midst Of a
hot race for the pennant. Vedder
Sitton pitched them to the lead and
they won the rag.
At the close Of the Sally season,
Sitton was sold to Nashville Club of
the Southern League. He reported
at Nashville just in time to pitch the
deciding game Of the Southern pen
nant race.
He was facing the veteran Theo-
dore Breitenstein Of the New Orleans
Pels, and upon the result of the
game depended the leadership of the
league. When the dust had cleared
away the final score was Nashville,
/; New Orleans, 0.
The Southern season was over then
and Sitton went straight to the
Cleveland Indians of the American
League, where he broke in at once.
He stayed in major league company
for quite while. doing some fine
work for Cleveland.
From college TO the major leagues
in one summer, winning two minor
league penannts in the interim, is
sure travelling some.
