THEREVER the American flag flies
there will be observed tomorrow
I'M one Of the few annual holidays of
~ the whole people. But, as they
enjoy their release from the routine
OF the ordinary Monday millions will be quite
unaware Of the identity Of the almost legendary
person entitled to their gratitude
In sharp contrast to their brothers in some
other members Of the family of nations, the
workers Of the United States generally can
look forward to only handful Of week days
upon which they need not answer the factory
whistle or punch the time clock. Tomorrow is
one of them, legal holiday in every State
in the Union, the District of Columbia, Ha-
wall, Alaska and Porto Rico and all because
of Peter J. Mcclure, now long gathered to
his eternal rest.
Half century ago, Mcclure was in the
thick Of the fight for recognition of the rights
OF American toilers, and he is held in loving
memory by such associates as survive who
served on the battle line with him. Through
the establishment Of Labor day he became
the benefactor Of uncounted fellow workers.

Even though the Cubs won only one
OF their games against the Cardinals
at st. Louis yesterday, Joseph Nc
Carthy advanced two notches nearer
a mathematical st~ranglehold upon the
National league championship. The
Pirates were considerable enough to
permit the Reds to cavort off with a
5 to 4 decision in Cincinnati, leaving
the Bruins in need OF just Il victories
to win even il the Buccaneers should
sweep the rest OF their schedule.
The Athletics and the Yankees en-
joyed a day Of rest. precluding any
change in the American league where
the Macks need II triumphs in %
engagements.
The Cubs missed a chance to score
a double victory in st. Louis only
through a six-run explosion PERSONAL
~ engineered BY young Kenneth PEN
ner IN the eighth inning Of the first
game. Penner had followed Bush and
Nehf into the box. and was in possess
sion Of an 8 to 8 tie when the Cardi-
mails came to bat in the eighth to
pound out a II to 8 decision. The
Cubs won the nightcap by 8 to 3
The immediate designs Of the
Phillies against fifth place were frus-
trated- by the Robins who made off
with both decisions In q double
header at Baker Bowl BY scores Of 4
to 3, and 8 to Z, the second q 10
inning Suggest.
The race for third place in the
American league remained close, with
Cleveland one and one -half games
ahead OF st. Louis. Wesley Terrell
pitched the Indians to a Z to 2 victory
Y e the Tigers, and Johnny Ogden
brought the Browns home ahead of
the White sox by the same score. It
was Ferrell's seventeenth victory.
The Red Sox closed their series at

With the snap Of football replacing
the heat Of baseball in North Dakota
air, Bismarck will witness the finale
Of the diamond season at the city
athletic field at 4 p. m. tomorrow.
John Donaldson and his whiskercd
Cuban Giants will do battle with the
original House Of David machine.
Donaldson's club earlier IN the season
travelled as the Colored House Of Da-
vid team.
Donaldson has been a colorful fig
ure in the baseball world for almost
a score of years. The negro at one
time was pronounced one Of the most
promising baseball players Of his day
by John McGraw, manager of the
New York Giants. His negro blood
kept him from getting a chance in
the big show. It is probable that
John will pitch against the white
Davidites tomorrow. The two teams
are clashing in Minot tonight.
Charlie Hancock, who will be at
first base for the colored boys also
has caught the eye Of many major
league scouts but his color was
against him. Art Hancock. brother
Of Charlie. holds up his end Of the
family's baseball honor by tramping
about the territory of the shortstop.
Tommy Dewhirst, fay1iliarly known
as Home Run Tommy" leads the
white boys in hitting punch. He was
the hitting hero in the Davidites' 4
to 3 victory at Minot last Sunday. In
the second frame, with two men on
the sacks, Dewhirst smashed out a
double to score both runners. Again
in the fifth. with a man on second,
he hit q long single that allowed the
base runner to score. In the eighth
Tommy smashed out a long hit to left
field which should have gone for a
double. The fielder muffed the ball
and Dewhirst started for third. The
| Giant outfieldcr heaved the sphere
toward third but it hit the bascrun-
ner's foot and was DETECTED from the
sack. BY the time the ball was re-
trieved. Tommy was safe at home.
Probable lineups for tomorrow's
spectacle follow:
House of David - Athertor. second
