The ball Hornsby has the Giants

the major leagues.
"They'd better tie up McGraw

Hornsby ism t an accident as a

Admiration for certain very lkeable young man
named Lndbergh should not detract attention from
his message, but should enforce it, Personalities at
tract than ideas but ideas are more important
and persist longer.
Lndbergh realizes this and tries to sink himself in
his work He Is above all else laborer and prophet
in the field Of aviation And he seems to know as DEF
ltey what be is talking about, when he harps on his
pointed his plane toward Paris
Our greatest need" he says "is for airports close
to the great cities. Airports necessary as sea-
ports, as necessary railroad terminals.
Regular communication by air will come but slow
" and the nation must get ready for it. There will be
no miracle, more than there was in linking east
and west when the transcontinental railroads were
built. Little cities, too, may put themselves the
air map by wise forethought and preparation.
We have good air mail service, comparatively
speaking, but far behind other nations in passen
ger service. The latter must be developed, then both
may proceed together.
He is of peace, little concerned with deliber-
ate preparations. Yet he realizes that the best
preparation is the development of great air
equipment and personnel.
Now the broad view: This country is naturally
situated to be the leader in flying We have inter-
national borders to complicate things, weather
conditions relatively good and have people to
