As a tribute to the mayor, the banQueters sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"
 "Dcbunking" History
 Before introducing Rev. Dr. Gull day, Mir. King said that someone as- serted recently that history is Tn the process of being 'debunked'." This thought was seized by Rev, Dr, Guilday, who agreed with the senti- ment thus expressed and proceeded to do some "debunking" on his own account. His subject was Washing ton and Lincoln and Their Part in American History"
 The speaker dwelt on the obstacles Washington and Lincoln had to overcome, obstacles created by dom estic, rather than foreign, conditions, particularly treachery on the part of those who should have helped to hold up their hands. He said that
 great men in America had always been subjected to villiflcation and
 referred to the campaigns of per
 sonal abuse directed against Wash
 ington and Lincoln. In this connec-
 ton, he ventured the prediction that
 the name of Woodrow Wilson will
 be revered equally with those oi

 cient time has elapsed for the peo'
 pie to assay him at his true worth

That Big Inning.

n UT that iris Speaker would
II never lend himself to an
- unsportmanlike trick, one
might easily turn up the probes
els at that big inning staged by
the Philadelphia Athletics last
Monday when they. scored thirteen
runs in the eighth frame, wiping
out the Indians eleven run-lead.
Last September, on the eve of
winning their first pennant, the
Griffmen landed in Cleveland for
three games. Speakers was living
in the same hotel with the Wash
ington players. There was con-
siderable guessing going on re-
igarding the identity of the Cleve-
land pitchers to be used in that
series.
"If Spoke wants to do the
right thing by us, he can pick
his pitchers" said one Washing
tonian.
Speaker came down from his
room and fraternized with the
enthusiastic Griffs.
wen, we re out OF II, ne Sa1u
to a bunch of them in the Hol-
lenden lobby, "and I'd like to see
you birds in there. But don't
look for any soft spots here. II
you win the pennant, you'll have
to do it on the field, not in this
lobby. I'm for you, if you can
win it, but you'll have to win it,"
Then the Cleveland manager
sent his three strongest pitchers
to the slab in those three games
and the coming champions had to
prove their worth.
This anecdote is retold here
for the benefit of those raising
their noses at the Mackmen's big
inning against Speakers team
