YORKTOWN GRAVE
OF OLD VETERAN
Obscure Plot for Revolutionary
Hero

Yanceyvile. \, c., Dec. Fl Up
In n small. heavily overgrown rural
cemetery In Caswel county, not far
from Yanceyville, is a mound COW
cred with yines--no effort to mark
tho spot is apparent other than the
tombstone--under which lies the
body OF the man who fired the first
shot at the Battle OF Yorktown.
The mans name was Startling
Gum. The cemetery is little visited,
an dfew people, even In the vicinity,
know that the little cemetery con-
tains an historic grave.
On the headstone. barely leglble,
appear these words:
Here lies the body OF Startling
Gum, who fired the first cannon at
the Battle OF Yorktown. and who
was an eye witness OF the surrender
OF Lord CORVALLIS"
The grave is overgrown with peri
winkle and other vines, and Is more
prominent than other graves In the
lonely little cemetery only by virtue
Of the fact that the headstone is
somewhat larger than the others.
The existence OF the historic grave
has been recognized only once, other
than In a casual way by individuals.
\ few years ago the Daughters of
the American Revolution asked for
earth from historic spots to be used
in planting a tree, to be taken from
Yorktown and planted at Arlington
At that time, a bit OF dirt from
Gums grave was supplied.

And Peck's failure to perform better
against the Pirates hot attack may be
attributed only to wobbly underpinninG
and falling arm. Nothing else can
account for his erratic work that had
much to do with the downfall of the
Nationals in the annual diamond
classic.
that time will tell" Peck has been
great ball player and right now is
far above the average shortstop in
general playing ability. But the
stiffening leg muscles and strained
arm sinews are feeling the effects Of
many years of strenuous campaigning.
A ball player can not go on forever
any more than can a man In some
other line of athletic endeavor. Peck's
career has extended far beyond the
average span and he can retire from
the game leaving behind him a won
derful record as a ShOrtstop. But he
cannot expect to give a good account
of himself on field where speed is
to be combated only by speed and
strength by strength.
Mycr May Have Place.
The Nationals now have at hand
Buddy Myer, a young shortstop or
| whom much IS expected. he came TO
| the club from New Orleans with a
splendid reputation as a fielder and
hitter If he proves his worth at the
next Spring training camp of the
American League champions, Myer
undoubtedly will start the 1926 sea
son as Washington's shortfielder.
| otherwise, some other young player
probably will get that position. But
| il is unlikely that Roger Peckinpaugh
will hold down the job.
There is need for both defensive
speed and attacking strength in an
outfeld combination. The Nationals
have two outfield combinations. One
| in attack. But neither combination
possessed both qualities that make a
we'll rounded outfield group.
| Whether Tex JeaneS, rangy right
| hand hitter, who has been used little
by the club since he was purchased
| from Birmingham, will help solve
the outfield problem is uncertain.
! Undoubtedly there will be much eX
perimenting at the Tampa camp next
| in the Nationals regular outer de-
fense when the 1926 season gets un.
der way.
Take Defeat PhilosophicaIly.
The Nationals took yesterdays loss
! philoSophically. You can't win all
| the time. and we gave the Pirates a
good battle. at that" was the gen
eral expression of the members of
the club in the dressing room after
the game. OF course, the men We're
not jovial. You can't expect a ball
! player to register happiness when he
sees $4,000 dragged away from him.
But neither were they depressed.
| In base ball, as in any other pur-
suits, Dame Fortune is tickle, and
those who play the game soon learn
| to accept defeat without bitterness.

Cuyler not only struck the decid :
ing blow yesterday, but his home
run clinched the second game for
the Buccaneers, while his fielding
was frequently sensational. Never
theless. the remarkable all-around
work of Pie Traynor. brilliant third
sacker of the new champions; the
spectacular hitting and base running
of the veteran Max Carey and the
stellar twirling of Vic Aldridge and
Ray Kremer also figured largely in
the Pittsburgh victory.
For Washington the most con-
spicuous work included Johnson S
brilliant pitching in his first two
starts: Sam Rice's startling defensive
work, particularly his catch off Smitt
in the third game, as we'll as his con-
sistent batting. and the slugging OF
Goose Goslin and Joe Harris. who
was the most dangerous man in the
Nationals attack in the pinches.
Details of the decisive batting and
fielding features follow:
FIRST GAME.
Traynor's catch off Ruel in third
inning, cutting off two-base hit;
Grantham's catch off Goslin in fourth
inning and completing double play
unassisted; Sam Rice's single with
bases full in fifth, giving winning
margin to Nationals.
SECOND GAME
Grantham's all-around brilliance at
first base; Barnhart's running catch
off Ruel in fourth, cutting off extra
base hit; Bluege's stop of hot drive
by Traynor in second; Cuyler's home
run, with Moore on base, winning
game in eighth.

The managers statement led one
to believe that probably one of the
changes would be in the infield and
another in the outfeld.
In all likelihood. Manager Harris
is planning the development Of a
new short fielder for the Nationals
Although Rogerf Peckinpaugh. who
held that important position during
the 1925 league campaign, performed
we'll enough to warrant his selection
as the most Valua BILE player to a
club in the Johnsonian circuit. he
revealed plainly in the world series
that his days as member of 4
! championship aggregation are num-
bered.
Flivvered FrightfuIIy.
Peck flivvered fearfully afield in
the tits with the Pirates, making
error after error and generally max
| ing them at most critical moments,
and it seemed that weak legs and
an uncertain throwing arm were re-
sponsible for the fielding failures of
| the griZZled veteran.
| In the American League, where he
| was we'll aware of the capabilities vi
the players of opposing clubs, Peck
| was able to play a standard game
| that made him powerful on defense
| He generally was able to place him
self 10 take the drives of batters and
knew enough of their speed to gauge
his throws instinctively.
In the world series, where he had
| little knowledge of the individual
peculiarities of the Pirates in attack
he had to rely solely on his mechan-
| ical ability. And the strain of COW
ering a greater amount of territory
| than he had been called upon to
guard at most times in his own cir
cult proved too much for his under
| pinning that has been none too
strong the past three years.
Throwing Arm OF.
Nor was his throwing arm equal
| to the task of heading off an array
| of such fleet men as Moore, Cuy1er
! Wright and Traynor. Any time one
| of these men sent a hit toward the
short field ii meant that Peck, If he
| got the ball. had to fling it swiftly
| and unerringly to first base to be
/ sure OF a chance for an out.
| Any little delay in getting the bal
away or wide heave was apt to prove
costly.
! Where Peck had been compelled to
| make these snap throws infreQuently
in the American League, he was called
| upon to do SO often in the world series
and his apparently weary arm was
not equal to the task
Cold figures indicate just how com
plete was Peck's downfall when he
tried to combat the speed of the Pirate
attack. During the series he had 40
chances afield. He made 10 put
outs, % assists and s errors for a
| fielding average of 500, a slump worse
than anV other fielder had fallen into
