TODAY'S
SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

The baseball world is today
sitting up and taking more seri-
GUS notice of ethe New York
Yankees than it has at any time
since the early days Of October,
1923, when the Rupert aggre-
cation upset the Giants hopes
Of q world championship.
BY taking the next three
games from their opponents, the
Yankees will have equaled the
league record of 10 consecutive
wins st present owned BY the
Chicago White Sox, but not
established as q part ct modern
baseball history. The feat was
achieved in 1906. to be exact.
For the. benefit Of those who
have forgotten and the rest who
never knew, the major league
record in the matter of u1in-
terrupted victories belongs to
the Giants.
They won twenty-six straight
trays as recently as 1921. And
don't forget, while on the sub
iect. that the Washington club
pocketed IL straight fourteen
years ago.
Yesterday, the Yanks marked
mn their sixteenth straight VIC
tory, and it would surprise You
to know how many fans in this
city and throughout the base,
bali land are hoping that the
White Sox mark is equaled or
bettered in the present Yankee
squirt.
In baseball, as in other walks
Of life, all the world loves q
winner. You hear many COM
ments these days to the effect
that if Washington can't breeze
in under the wire this year, the
next most popular choice locally
would be Colonel Ruppert's
Yankees.
Diamond warfare between
Philadelphia and the National
Capital has been entirely too
bitter within the recent past for
much domestic goodwill to be
wasted on the Quakers.
With the lowly Red Sex the
only other Eastern represents
tive TO lean upon in the matter
Of q second choice, It is only
natural that sentiment here
should favor the Yanks when all
local hope seems gone.
It is a singular thing that at
the moment when the New
Workers. are enjoying e sixteen
game spell of chronic victory
that Babe Ruth, who must be
given a great portion of the
credit therefor, is basking in a
home-run record of sixteen cir
cult clouts.
Thus he is more than a week
ahead of his famous 1921 string,
for he made his sixteenth homer
on June 8 that year, in the
forty-third game Of the season.
Ruth's sixteenth was made Tues
day in the Yankees thirty
eighth Scontest Of the 1926 sea-
son. There is something for
those who predicted the COM
plete disintegration of the YAM
KEGS and the total collapse OF
Babe Ruth, to laugh off.

Golf balls can and do behave with
uemost freshness at times. Indeed,
there were some golf balls being
used In the first day Of qualifying
play for the Middle Atlantic cham
pionship that conducted themselves
1n manner that might almost be
called obstreperous.
For example: Frank Roesch's first
bah was hooked out of bounds, He
laid three. on his tee shot, and he
took seven. Another seven came
his way on the third.
Gardner p. Orme had a large and
bountiful. though pestiferous, eight
on the fifteenth, and an unexpected
four on the thirteenth. His thtrs
teenth tee shot was off the lines
and he was directly stymied by a
tree. Playing slky-rocket shot, his
ball lit on the steep slope just off
the green and bounced to within q
few feet Of the pin.

George P. Lynde, Of the home
club, had & nine on the par three
tenth hole. And he wasn't in any
water, either. It was just hard
earned nine, one OF the type that
springs up without any preliminary
fuss.
Then, e. 4. Bono, Columbia, had
four brides on his card. And his
score was not so low, either.
Norman B. Frost, the Indian
Spring barristetr, played with
George Voigt, and would have been
one up at the first hole, had they
been playing match play. It would
have been an honor, for Voigt de-
cisively defeated Frost in the first
round at Indian Spring.
It happens that Frost hit q good
tee shot on the first and then holed
his mashie shot to the green for
an eagle two. Later on, he paid
dearly for the two, and he came in
with an IS.
D. L. Veerh0ff, veteran wash

He breads that new water hole.

THE CODY STAMPEDE

The Cody Stampede which starts tomorrow and continues
Tor three days has become known as one of Wyomings great
est frontier day events. Started seven years ago by a group
of men and women, it has been grown to be an event which
attracts attention in all parts of the United States, particularly
In the east, where the visitors to the Buffalo Bill country
plan their trips so as to be here for the big celebration.
The Cody Stampede is dated at a time when all of America
is in a mood for celebration. At the Fourth of July period,
which has been a memorial time ever since Old Glory was
raised over the United States, and our forefathers declared
themselves an independent government. The Stampede has
many purposes, besides the observing of July Fourth which
are indeed worthy.
1t has for its purpose the retaining and displaying of the
spirit of the old west. At this time of the year the cowmen
of the old west gather here and assist the younger bloods to put
on a creditable wild west show. There is none of the modern
taboo, and the range cayuse and long horn steer reign supreme.
AT this time of the year the business men of Cody give
literally and cheerfuly to the financing of the big show. They
do 1T because they believe in the Cody Stampede. They know it
is a worthwhile event. They know that it lifts the little
town OF Cody out of the rut for the three days show. 1t gives
to the town renewed energy and enthusiasm to cope with the
regular routine business during the balance of the year.
The Cody Stampede should never be permitted to wan.
1t should be made a bigger and better event each year,
that its Importance over the state and nation will increase,
and that the last stand of the wild west and western frontier
may be made right here in the land of Buffalo Bill.

AND FAME

The conviction of Edward Box that a man cannot be buried
in any locality, large or small, if he have the elements of
greatness and achievement in him, should be of encouragement to
those who feel that their talents are wasted because of an
unapprciative or depressing environment. Cream will rise
to the surface anywhere asserts Box, and an observation of the
early life of successful men goes to confirm his statement.
Abraham Lincoln in his boyhood split rails for a scanty living,
and Daniel Webster was brought up in a New Hampshire log
cabin where hard work was the rule and money was seldom
seen.
Riches have proved a more formidable handicap to success
than poverty. Opposite has been and still is the material upon
which character feeds for its development and growth. No
Gopher Prairie is strong enough to down a man if he has
the will to forge ahead.
The country boy has, if anything, the advantage of the
city boy, because he has quiet and distance to give him a sane
point of view. But the man who will succeed, will succeed
anywhere. He has the choice of being engulfed by his cir
cumstances or of triumphing over them.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

The Fourth is the holiday of holidays. 1t will be a day of
shout and play, of the pell-nell rush of restless energy, a day
dedicated to joy and celebration.
1t is we'll We have a right to make merry on Independ-
ence day. We have a right to cheer and to lombard the
clouds with bomb and rocket. For it is the birth of a great
nation we acclaim, its frightening honorable life and the
rosy prospect for its future.
1t is not a day for soberness, though it will be well, indeed,
II we bear in mind why it is we shout and what it is we
that is due the brave whose blood and courage made possible
this day of days, this national natal day.
Independence day gave US liberty, a chance to live our
national life in our own way, freed from the dictates of any
distant power. 1t did not give US license, and as we celebrate
with consideration for the rights of our neighbors we are re-
minded that while we may have liberty in our joy there
Can OF no license, License encroaches upon liberty, nulifies it.
independence day gave us a charter of individual manhood.
The founding fathers might have set up a government that
was administered from the top down. They chose to establish
a government that was administered from the bottom up. They
chose to agree that every man should have a voice, and that
one mans voice should be equal with that of every other.
independence day gave us opportunity, opportunity to
live our individual lives as we would live them, opportunity to
enter any field of endeavor, opportunity to develop, to grow Bet
ter as well as stronger, and-above an-opportunty to serve,
cheerfuly and willingly, our felowmen in the up-bunding of
a great democracy
The priceless heritage of our freedom is still inviolate.
Our people have met every challenge from without and have
repeatedly demonstrated their capacity to withstand every
insidious assault from within. So great has been our Sc
curity, so conscious our realization of power, that the only
apparent menace on the horizon of today is that we may
rest too easily, remain too much self-assured in the face of
those influences which would honeycomb our institutions. Even
as we celebrate our liberty, our individual responsibility and
our opportunity, we must remember that vigilance is the price
of their security.
