birthday on November 10th. Nearly
$50 years have rolled around since
November 10, 1775, when the Con-
,tinental Congress resolved that two
battaions of Marines be raised.
Prior to that date mention of Ma
rines is frequently made in historical
documents. AS far back as 1740
Marines served under the British
flag in America. These early fore
runners of the present Sea Soldiers
wore camlet coats. brown linen
waistcoats and canvas trousers.
After the capture of Ticonderoga
on May 10, 1775, the garrison was
sadly in need of money and men. A
reinforcing expedition was immed-
lately organized and left Hartford,
Conn, with several pounds sterling
of British money, escorted by eight
Marines of Connecticut, well spirited
and equipped. Additional troops
joined the force at Albany, and af
ter encountering great difficulties the
party reached Tieonderoga. These
Marines are often referred to as the
Original Eight"
Rhode Island Marines were at
tached to the Katy and Washington

evidence of Marines serving in the

Again ON October 5, ITS, Marines
are referred to in orders directing I
George Washington to take steps
toward the capture of two British
vessels loaded with munitions. Re-
ferences to Marines, antedating their
official birthday, are found elsewhere
in the mouldy documents of Revo
lutionary War Days.
The Names, however, observe No
vember 10 as their official birthday.
For it was on that date 149 years
ago that Congress was so impressed
with the abilities of the Soldiers of
the Sea that the present Marines
Corps was established.

COMMUNICATION
Dear Mr.. whorton:

Dear Mr.. Whorton:
The paragraph in the last number
of the Republican concerning the
dedication of the Elmore Soldier s
monument leaves a wrong impress
sion, and its Importance, it seems to
me, would need a correction.
The reporter could not have been
present. The War Mothers were not
so entirely alone as reported. The
Daughters of Veterans were present
in body. A representative of the
American Legion held the Amrican
Flag. A quartet of business men and
women furnished music. Three
ministers took part in the program
with Scripture, prayer and address.
Four public school teachers were
present, also an attorney and wife,
and others. There were quite a num-
Der of autos in the procession. Sure
ly, Notwithstanding the storm and
cold wind, more should have shown
honor to the memory of the departed
by their presence.
BY one who was present.
Editors Note-In justifying our
statement in last weeks issue of the
Republican in this regard we wish
to state that our informant in the
matter was supposed to have been
present at the dedication. However,
we tender our apologies to those who
remembered their duty and attended.
AS to those who did not, the Repub-
lican included, we feel they are en-
titled to rebuke

ZARAKOvP PIVOT
Of HARVARD
FOOTBALL
Freshman of Last Year Makes
Promising Material for
Crimson ..r

The impending football season at
Harvard is about to center around
Mr.. Isadore Zarakov. Izzy was a
freshman last year and proved to
be a football player of striking
talent. Inserted into the varsity
backfield this fall, Isadore will have
an opportunity to give full play to
his genius IN carrying a football.
Young Mr.. Zarakov is a native
of classic Cambridge. He has been
brought DIP i'll TIE atmosphere of
Harvard and is familiar with the
football. The football Sages about
Cambridge 'ook to Icy to express
the Harvard football spirit at its
very best. Looking ahead month
or two, one can picture the public
prints screaming with the tidings,
"Zarakov skirts the end for ten
yards" "Izzy chisels his way
through the line for big gain, I"
"Zarakov fells Joe Blotz in his
tracks in a deadly spill"
The cheerleaders will have a
euhponious subject in Izzy. 1t is
name which lends itself to song
and poetry. Across the gridiron the
roar OF Haryard's deep-throated
youths will boom in vibrant chorus,
shouting the name of Zarakov. OF
course, Izzy must first show that
he is worthy Of all the great things
that have been predicted for him.
There seems to be little doubt
that the name Of Zarakov will find
a place on the tablets on which
are engraved the names of Har

Hay Skimnlers AreO Out
Among Yankees For
Rakish Cans

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The
Prince of Wales may still be
wearing his floppy brimmed
Panama, but the Yankees have
all given up the wearing of
straw headgear. They are SO
anxious for autumn-and for
what autumn means to a place
winning ball club-that they
have rushed the season by dom
ming tweed caps and felt hats.
A straw bonnet is about as
safe around the Yankee club
house as a mouse in a conven-
ton of tom cats. Straws
aren't properly doomed until
September 10, but the Yanks
are done with them, and it is
hoped they are alSo done with
other light and trifling summer
manifestations. With caps
pulled over their eyes, on and
off stage, they can induce that
"Murderers' Row" mood that
they will need to slug their way
angrily through the remaining
September opposition.

record that was safe until Ty
went out and tied it. He, too
made 200 hits in eight different
years, and now Ty is about to bust
that record.
And unless he breaks q leg or
sOmething-which / hope he
dOesn't-he's going to do that
there little thing sure as you're
born. And here's hoping he does.
You've got to give him credit.
He's a wonder, even today, after
he has been going almost twenty
years in the big leagues. That,
of itself, Is quite q record.
From what the old.timers tell me
Keller, more than anybody else
was a hitter like Ty. He, too, was
as fast as streak but wasn't the
aggressive, go-crazy ball player that
Ty was a few years ago. Yet In
another respect Willie had it or
Ty. He struck out less often-less
often, in fact, than any other player
there ever was. I am told he went
through one season with something
like only ten strikeouts. Ty will
fan more often because he takes a
healthier cut at that apple.
Still, it's interesting to compare
the records of them both, and here's
what I find after giving the figures
the once-over: In the eight years
in which Willie got two hundred or
more base hits his average was 1888
Cobb's average for the eight years
in which he got two hundred or
more base hits is 1886.
Several other times Ty came
mighty close to getting 200 hits

writes Frederick G. Lieb, president
of the Baseball Writer'S Associa-

concur in any such view. The
Senators are a splendid ball club,

men likely to break up a game at
any moment. Judge, too, packs
quite a wallop. The infield of
Bluege, Peck, Harris and Judge
is the fastest in baseball today and
the best infield for reeling off
double plays. What Harris and
Bluege lack as hitters they make
up as fielders.
"Ruel today is one of the star
catchers of the game. Some place
him at the very top of the class.
Johnson and Mogridge are the two
outstanding pitchers, but Zachary,
Ogden, Zahniser and Marber!y are
all good. Ogden has been a steady
winner for the club since ne was
procured from the Athletics.
The Senators have speed and a
better punch than they have re
ceived credit for. They are only a
few points behind the Yanks in
club batting. They have made COM
paratively few homers, but the
Washington field is difficult one
for home runs. The Senator's are
tied for first honors in triples.
Goslin hit two homers here and
Judge another, showing they can
hit homers if the fences are con-
venient enough"
