Commander Byrd Recognizes
Assistance Given

Roosevelt Field, June 20 up -
Commander Byrd issued the follow
ing statement just before taking off
for France today:
Whereas am attempting this
flight for many reasons, l hope our
|countrsmen will. appreciate the fact
that my shipmates, Norville, Acosta
and Balchen, are Tying over the
top today totally for the progress
Of aviation. to which they are de-
voting their lives-there is, they
realize little glory in the undertake
lang. There are no prizes awaiting
them.
Don't let US forget at this time
Floyd Bennett, to whom We owe
much for our preparations and who
recently almost sacrificed his life to
advance the science Of flying. We
keenly regret that we cannot take
him along.
There is Kinkade, who worked
on the plane engines of Lindbergn
and Chamberlin and also on the
Americas engines. Surely our
country should know about him.
Then there Is Mulroy, Demas.
Gardiner and Sorensen. my ship
mates on our arctic expedition who
have worked day and night for our
success.
Expeditions like ours are won
by preparation.
Il would also like to ask the pub
lie to realize that though We have
prepared as carefully as possible, we
are to some extent in the hands
of fate after we leave. Ours Is
pioneering flight and 1t cannot be
laid to the door Of aviation If we
do not win.
Il am glad that Lindbergh reach.
ed Paris first. He did for the pro-
gross Of aviation and international
good fellowship what we never
could even have hoped to do.
I'VE simply follow up the great
work that Lindbergh and Chamber
lin have done and expect to add
just a bit to their discoveries. Other
pioneers must follow us. We can
only help to point the way.
I'VE have never been In a race.
Even had we been In a race, our
crash some months ago would have
PUT us completely out OF the rum
ming.
Little Is known about suspend.
ing In the air great loads with
three engined planes. We have pro-
ceeded calmly and carefully. 1t will
be recalled that the three ngined
plans that have attempted this
flight have crashed, two with fatal
results.
with four people and an addi-
tional useful load OF about 400
pounds we cannot hope that the
distance we can travel will equal
that Of a one engined plane.
I'VE must not forget Mr.. Rodman
Wanamaker's patriotism. He has
been unstinted in backing us and
has unselfishly kept himself in the
background and has disassociated
the expedition entirely from any
commercial aspect.
"Mr. Whalen has been indefa-
tigueable in his effort to help u.s."

MO.'RIARTY
AT BAT
BY GEORGE MORIARTY,

| Manager of the Detroit base ball team
| former big league third baseman and fol
| 10 years an American League umpire.
| Y CAN'T recall any managerial ac
! that ever caused such prolonged
| discussion in base ball as that o
! Il DOME Bush. boss of the Pirates
who fined Hazen Cuyler, star out
| fielder, for failure to slide into secont
base on a close play. Although the
| fine came in midseason, / still hear il
| discussed.
| While manager and player take
different viewpoints of the matter, il
| is not my intention to take sides. The
title of manager makes no man in
fallible, but no player Is above repri
mand at all times.
A manager naturally tries to pattern
his team after his own temperament
and IDEAS IT he is aggressive, he
wants his players to stick out their
chins and battle all the way. If he
has mild disposition, his players will
reflect this on the field. One needs
only to examine the tactics of John
J. McGraw and Connie Mack. Their
teams are absolute contrasts. The
Giants always challenge the opposing
team, while the Athletics follow a
policy of calm aggressiveness. Each
method can be supremely successful.
l played with DOME Bush in the
old days in Detroit, and / know the
stuff in his managerial makeup. No
player ever stepped on the field with
a keener desire to win. 1le talked,
ate and slept base ball. With Cobb
and his other teammates he was al
ways scheming to pull off something
on the opposition. In time he de-
yeIoDed an rncannV ability to out
guess the other fellow, dope his plans
and set up a brilliant defense. Bush
was never n good batsman, but he
made up for this by spectacular field
ing. And even though he couldn't
hit much. he managed to worry any
pitcher, leading his league for several
years, in getting bases on balls. He
was tough boy to pitch to.
Bush fairly glittered in running
bases, and that is probably why Guy
ler's failure to slide SO aroused him
that he imposed the now famous $50
fine. Bush was fast and had knack
of stretching base hits. He never
failed to run out infield taps. Even
when he slapped the ball back to the
pitcher on the first hop he sped down
to first base like scared rabbit, hop
ing the pitcher would make a wild
throw. He could think with any in
fielder of his day, had great power in
his legs and never passed up chance
to make it hard for an infielder to tag
him.
Undoubtedly the spirit of his play
ing days still clings to Bush, and this
guided him in fining Cuyler. To me 1t
appears that Bush wanted to empha'

size the necessity of sliding on all
close plays, particularly when the hit
and-run sign is out and the runner
gets a flying start for the next base.
In favor of Cuyler it may be men
toned that the old style of last-ditch
running and sliding has gone out of
favor with the lively ball, and for this
reason many players are not held to
strict account when they go into a
base standing up. Still, some man,
ayers insist on the old style of base
running. Take your pick.
