run for him, and he knows how tc
make the best use Of their speed.
He showed the highest degree of
skill in winning with Skyscraper
and Klondyke and was forced to use
different methods in each instance.
He kept Klondyke up with the
leaders at all times; something
others had failed to do. With Sky
scraper he came from behind in a
big field with a horse known as a
Splinter and front runner. Parke's
mount was shuffled back at the
start, but he picked his way through
to win in faultless style.

ranks of the A. r. F. Gowdy was
the first big league ball player to
enlist. showing the way eventually
to good many others.
At TT. Benning
The occasion was the formal in
forming of Hank that a Govern

FIT. Benning, Ga, had been named
"Gowdy Field" in his honor.

1t was explained that the desire
was to name the Fort Benning field
after an enlisted man and that there
never had been any question over
the choice Of the straw haired
happy natured angular catcher of
the Giants.
So Gowdy had his uniform
pressed and prepared to stand and
receive the military review, one Of
the few times that such an honor
has been paid an enlisted man.
Ball Game Also
The ceremony was to take place
at the Polo Grounds and the Cubs
were to play the Giants afterwards.
General Billiard and General Bri-
ant Wells were to take party in the
"Gowdy day. ceremonies. The lat
ter was to present Hank with a
copy of the War Department order
naming the field.
Il hope the occasion will impress
itself on the youth of the nation"
General Wells said. "Gowdy's
career, I think, is a bigger thing for
the country than most people seem
to appreciate"
The tall catcher broke into the
baseball limelight in 1914 when he
hit two home runs in the four-game
world series between the Braves and
the Athletics.
Enlisting in 1917, he became color
sergeant of the 166th Infantry.
