George Wythe, SEgneT

He might truly be called the Cato of
his county, without the a~yarice of the
Roman, for a more disinterested per
son never lived.
Thomas jefferson wrote thus of
George Wythe, one of the Virginia
signers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. The one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the famous document, to
which ffty,six men affixed their sigma
lures, is now being celebrated at the
Sesqui Centennial international EXPOSE
ton in Philadelphia.
Wythe was the son of a wealthy plan
ter and an exceptionally intelligent
mother under whose instruction he learn
ed Greek and Latin and gained some
knowledge of mathematics and the sclen-
ces. He received further training at
William and Mary College.
Before he attained his majority both
parents died and he was lett IN pos
session of a large fortune. From this
time until he was thirty years OF age he
lived a life of dissipation and eXtrava'
gance. The course of his life was
changed when he began to study law

under John Lewis, an eminent practi-
toner, and be rose to the front rank OF
the Virginia Bar.
George Wythe was a leader in the
House of Burgesses until the Revolution.
He was a member of the committee which
drew up the remonstrance to the House
of Commons on the proposed Stump Act.
Wythe was responsible for framing the
last named paper but it so far exceeded
the demands of his colleagues in bold
ness and truth that it was viewed as
bordering on treason and accepted only
after much modification.
The Virginian was appointed a dele
gate to the Continental Congress in TITO
where he signed the declaration of In
dependence. 49,
He lost almost all Of his property dur
ing the Revolution. and he helped out
his fortunes by accepting a professor
ship of law in William and Mary Gel
lege, which he held from 1883.
Among his pupils were two presidents
of the United States. a Chief Justice and
a number of other eminent Americans.
On the reorganization Of the Court Of
Equity, Wythe was made sole Chan
cellor and held the office for more than
twenty years. Later he emancipated
h slaves and gave them means OF sub
sistence. He died in Richmond, Virgil

The Baltimore Sun of Sunday con-
tanned cut of an Eastern Shore boy,
anG the following account of his
proves on the mat in the 1876 pound
class:
"When Owen and Vernon Selby,
brothers, were youngsters in their
teens, Owens, the elder, could tie Vef-
non into about any knot known to
wrestling. Now there are those who
doubt that any man his weight can
tangle Vernon unduly, and among
those who are said to entertain such
an opinion is Tom jenkins, former
haHsy weight wrestling champion, now
coach at West Point.
Tom thinks that this young man,

another defeatless season to his
achievements and stands in class by
himself.
Vernon has just completed his third
campaign at West Point. He has get
to lose his first bout at the Point, or
for that matter, anywhere else. Three
seasons Of unbroken and intramural
competition, is said to be a record
never before attained by Cadet mat
man
But the Maryland youngsters re-
markable feats are not bounded oy
the limits of his West Point expert
cnce.
Four years in two Maryland prep
schools saw Vernon encounter and
conquer the most formidable school
boy matmen of this State. He never
failed to win the schoolboy champion

means to suffer defeat in practice bout
intramural elimination or dual meet.
Selby won his first Maryland school
boy title at Charlotte Hall Military
Academy. Later he went to Severn
school and continued to win his class
championship in the Maryland Scho-
lastic League until he left to enter
West Point.
Vernon's first wrestling teacher was
his brother, Owen. Owen was quite
q grappler himself. Owen had been
taught by the late Harry Jeffries,
Baltimore's leading mat referee in the
days when Americas was meeting the
best of them on Monumental City
mats. And the elder Selby boy had
been sufficiently apt to learn to win
the lightweight title of the Atlantic
Fleet while he was serving on he flag

Will Sunday baseball prevail in the
Eastern Shore League in the near flu
ture? According to reliable source.
it has been learned that overtures
have been made to the Mayor and city
council of Ocean City to play base
ball there on Sundays. In fact it was
learned that these officials have been
sounded out and are inclined to look
on it with favor.
Sometime ago a committee ap.
preached the officials at Ocean City,
so it is said, and talked the matter
over from every phase of the subject.
Mention was made of altering the
schedule of the coming season to pei
NIT two clubs to play there every
Sunday. This can be easily arranged
by transferring the Monday games to
Sunday. At this conference the COM
mittee is said to have sounded out the
officials, but since then, it is learned
that committee has been at work
making all the necessary arrange
nlents in case the officials give it
their official sanction.
1t is known that certain ones in the
league have advocated Sunday base.
ball for over year, believing that
Sunday would give greater support
than any other day in the week and
enable the clubs to get above the an.
nual deficits seen each season. One
manager expressed himself last seaon
by saying that the only salvation for
the league was Sunday baseball.
It is known that in Easton and Cam
bridge much opposition has been ex-
pressed against Sunday baseball, and
it is doubtful whether the public
stand for it in Ocean City. Of course.
Ocean City is wide open on Sunday.
In fact it is believed that the greater
part of the weeks business is done i:n
the first LAY of the week, when crowds
flock to the seashore in great num-
bers. If they would go to the games
on that day it is hard to say but &C.
cording to some the support would be
ample to boost up the finances of the
clubs throughout the circuit.
What the league will do in the mat
ter cannot be stated. In fact, it is
hard to tell with what authority the
committee said to be working on the
plans is vested or when it was up
pointed and by whom. The news leak
ed out this week from q man who was
close at hand when the matter was
discussed.
The Blue Ridge League has never
favored Sunday baseball, although
several years ago one of the clubs
withdrew because the other clubs fail
ed to support it in an effort to play on
Sunday.
Some Of the men who were asked
about the question last week favored
no games on Sunday. What the other
sections of the circuit favor will be
learned at the meeting Of the league.
In the meantime the schedule has been
drawn up by committee, and is ready
to be presented for adoption. Should
Sunday baseball be authorized at
Ocean City, the Monday games might
be used by clubs in that territory on
Sunday.

Burial Mounds Built
BY Ancient Mongols 7?

The similarity Of the burial mounds
In Siberia, north of the Cobb, with
those several thousand miles distant
on the Black sea, seems to Indicate
that they were built by the Mongols-
perhaps in the age Of Genghis Khan,
perhaps in the day of Tamerlane Gas
we call Tim-ur-i-lang), perhaps in the
time of the khanates of central Asia
the Golden horde, etc.-in the Six
teenth century. No one knows for
certain
There are also found in the steppes
curious stone warriors and women
that face always to the east. And I
think the figure monuments of Siberia
are very much like them. The Cos
sacks relate that when these stone
women are carried away, to make gate
posts for house in some Russian viii
lage, 1t takes half-dozen oxen to
drag them to the west, although one
can draw them back again.
AT any rate most of the Cossacks
are extremely unwilling to dig up the
burial sites, the kurgans. A hundred
years ago the British explorer, Clarke,
asked the hetman of the Don Cossacks
for some men from the village to help
him the next day. The men were
ready enough until they found out
that he wanted to uncover a nearby
kurgan. They refused point-blank

The black man jumped. In a miracu-

from his cubbyhole of a kitchen at the
rear bearing waiter tray piled high
with dishes. He ranged the array OF
food in a half moon effect before his
