thing briskly regenerative which kfndles to
flame the smouldering fires of ambition and as

taken from ones back.
Reality springs from the hard core of the
impossible Real accomplishments in this world
have been inspired by the voice of silver trum-
pet sounding good news
Have you such a word for us? you, our
friends and neighbors; have you good word for
us who are struggling to do days work we'll

hearten us. Give us the word that will set us
afirc with resolution to do better and to go
farther than ever before.
Be generous, spread your good news
far and wide so that none within the sound of
your voice will go untouched, uncontrolled Sing
us a song of the first robin of spring delayed
Speak to us of the good we have done aforc-
time and prophesy of the great things we are
to do by and by Feed lis with faith and arm us
with courage and we will 90 out and accomplish
the impossible, and return singing songs of
praise for the sustaining strength of your good
news.
Be a harbnger of good news Forget the
bad news. MANY eff HIS are too conscious of our
earthbound condition. 1t is ever present weigh

have laid heavy burdens upon our backs
We look to you who know u.s. who work be-

won at Yorktown (. 1t is proper that
the commemoration Of Washingtons
final military achievement which
established this nation shall be of such
proportions as to correspond with the
celebrations which will commemorate
his birth
For this reason the Congress of the
United States created national COM
mission to prepare plan and program
in commemoration of the seige at
Yorktown, and the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS.
The program as outlined will IN
clude. in addition to other provisions
to be made later the marking Of his
torical sites; the issuance of special
commemorative postage stamps, the
preparation of the grounds in the vi
cinity of Yorktown, and the invitation
of all states in the union to participate
in the exercises.
The commemorative program will be
a four-day event to be held at York
town The feature will be an address
by the President of the United States,
which will take place on the opening
day of the exercises. Among those who
will be present on the occasion will be
distinguished officials of this and other
governments, descendants of those who
participated in the siege and many
thousands of visitors from all parts
Of the United States.
With the Yorktown Sesquicentennial
Celebration only few months away
the plans for the event are rapidly
reaching a conclusion. Like the George
Washington Bicentennial Celebration
this commemoration is not to be in the
form of an exposition. 1t will not cell
citrate what Americans can do now
but what our fathers did, TO make pos
sible the United States of the Twenti-
eth Century. Its purposes are entirel,
patriotic and will be in keeping witt
the event it signalizes.

YORKTOWN SESQUICENTENNIAL
FORERUNNER OF WASHINGTON
BICENTENNIAL OBSERVANCE
Celebration to Mark l50th Anniversary
Of American Victory at Yorktown.


One of the important celebrations
which will precede the commemoration
of the Two Hundredth Anniversary Of
George Washingtons Birth in 1892, will
be the Yorktown Sesquicentennial, to
be observed in October, 1881, in honor
Of the 150th anniversary of the sur
render of Lord CORVALLIS at York
town, Virginia. The sesquicentennial of
the British capitulation which virtually
ended the Revolutionary War will be
an suspicious event in its own right
but since the man who made the vic
tory at Yorktown possible in 1871 is
also the one whose birthday, is being
commemorated next year, the two Gel
ebrations are closely associated The
observance of the surrender of Corn
wallis therefore may be looked upon
tion-wide George Washington Bicen-
tennial Celebration.
When the British troops, commanded
by Lord CORVALLIS, marched out Of
Yorktown and laid down their arms
after enduring severe bombardmeni
from the French and American bat
teries, the Revolutionary War was, t.
all intents and purposes, over. The
American victory over CORVALLIS was
most decisive, and although there wa:
some desultory fighting after the Brit
-ish capitulation, the Yorktown triumph
really ended the war. This importan
event with its far reaching effects wa.
the result of the foresight courage ant
perseverance of George Washington
and to him more than any other mar
belongs the credit for the American
triumph.

Times Due G1 A Clash Sent Shires Is Coming Back
All AS Foes Had
Chance at HOyt
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, August Since
IN Waite Hoyt has pitched five
winning games for the Ath-
leticS, while losing only one to date.
a large quota Of criticism has been
leVeled at the Detroit club for per-
hitting him to go to the Philadel-
phia club in midseason. The point
that is overlooked is that other
American League clubs could have
acquired the temperamental right
handler If they had desired.
Detroit asked waivers on the serv-
ices of Hoyt and no club claimed
him except Philadelphia. If any
other club had wanted him 1t could
have got him, because there Is
rule in the American League that
when claims are made on player
on whom waivers have been asked,
the club lowest in the race always
has the first call. Hoyt was carry
ing q good contract and the teams
below Philadelphia did not wish to
assume it. New York, which sent
him to Detroit in 1880, would not
take him back for reasons that were
known.
Pitching for the Athletics. Hoyt
has shown an abundant reversal of
form, for with Detroit this year he
had won only three games and lost
eight. In 1880 he won IL games
and lost 10, pitching both for New
York and Detroit. His 1880 record
thus did not establish the fact that
he was all played out.

Mack,s Two Teams.

Mack's Two Teams.
THE headlong pace which Connie
l. Mack's Athletics have set all sea-
son, especially through the last
month, revives the argument as to how
this present team compares with his
l910-1914 outfit.
Certainly the 1929-193O-1931 collec-
ton has opened a wider gap from the
rest of the field. The old-time bunch
won two remnants with something to
spare end then finished back OF Boston
and washington in 1912 This 1891
bunch isn't going to finish back OF any
thing. The old infield was the strong
er. with McInnis. Collins, Barry and
Baker. And while Bender, Coombs and
Plank completed great pitching staff,
they had nothing on Grove, Earnshaw
and Walberg. They were not able to
carry as much work through season.
The old Mack outfield was far below
his present trio. There was no Phila-
delphia outf1elder in the old days close
to AL Simmons. one of the best of the
decade. Or any decade. And certainly
the old team had no catcher to COM
pare to Mickey Cochrane, who Is half
a team in himself.
The old team, even with Baker, Col
Inns and McInnis, had no such ex-
plosive dynamite as Simmons, Fogx and
Cochrane can touch off from time to
time. No one can fairly finish com
parison until ell the figures ale In. 1t
would be easier to round out the argu-
ment later when all the statistics are
completed. But for the first three years
of the argument the present Athletics
have at least something on the old-time
lineup, as good as that was.

PROOKLYN goes up and down like

No one can figure the Brooklyn

body ever could figure the Brooklyn
base runners, II base running 1t can be
called.
The general theory is that when the
Robins get a winning streak, instead
of just going along about their business
they stop and start to think. That's
the finish.
There are two teams-the Phillies and
the Boston Braves-who don't need an
awful lot Of strengthening to go right

One of the hardest problems
batter is confronted with is keep
ing himself from becoming guess"
hitter. A guess" hitter is batter
who anticipates in advance OF the
pitchers delivery what he thinks
that particular pitcher will throw
him and then sets himself for either
a fast ball or a curve ball. II he
guesses right, he has q great adj
vantage, but If he guesses wrong he
looks terrible. This type of batter
tries to do the pitchers thinking
as well as his own and the result
is usually disastrous to himself. It
is bad habit to fall into and the
chronic "guesSer" Is seldom cured,
until he guesses curve and is
"beaned" with a fast one.
All great hitters like Ruth and
Hornsby do not believe in guessing"
against the pitcher and catcher, but
advise young batters to be ready for
anything and pick the ball as it
comes UP to them.
