L performance at the all-star

1t during the course Of the contest.
Coaching on third base. he whistled
shrilly every time an American League
rally got under way. A few fans in
the right field stands began to answer
him and the habit spread. In one late
inning spudge Schacht and his fellow
whistlers turned the Polo Grounds
into veritable bird cage.
Ruth didn't get hold of one during
the game, but in practice he swatted
the first two pitched to him into the
right field crowd
All the players used their own uni
forms, the National League wearing
home spangles and the American dis
playing the gray travel suits.
1t was impossible to Judge the favor
of the crowd by the seventh inning
stretch. After hours and 20 minutes
of sitting, the customers stretched for
both sides.
Ducky wucky Medwick will be re-
membered most for his home run with
two on, but he also turned in one of
the greatest plays of the game. the
way he took Al Simmons two-bagger
off the left field wall was pleasing to
watch.

twice, first as a pinch hitter, later as
a second baseman. 1t took a special

that a Smith never has aspired to
the Presidency. On the contrary,
no less than four of them have.
Perhaps you think that Alfred
Emanuel Smith, who won the Dem

election In 1928, was the first and
only one of the name who ever

White House. But he wasn't.

for the high office.
He was Joseph Smith, founder Of
the Mormon religion in New York
In 1880, who was driven by per-
secution first to Ohio, then to Mis-
souri,, and finally to Illinois, where
the "City of Saints" was estab-
lished at Nauvoo. Soon he had such
a large following that both the
Wings and the Democrats began
bidding for Mormon support and
Smith began having deluslons Of
grandeur as to his political power.
In 1874 he took the bold step Of
condemning publicly both parties
and announcing his candidacy for
the Presidency of the United States.

--F UNCLE SAM should
| H ever call the roll of all
l I'LL his children, the chances
1 uu are that more people
| would respond to Smith"
than any other family
name. They'd outnumber
the prolific Browns and Williamses
by about two to one and the only
slightly less prolific Joneses and
Johnsons by about three to one.
Now, since Smith is such very
common name, 1t naturally follows
that one who bears 1t has to be con-
siderably above the average to lend
distinction to 1t and to be outstand-
Ing among his fellowmen. The
fact Is that there have been plenty
OF just such men, as witness the
fact that one standard encyclopoe-
Ola OF American biography contains
the names of no less than 202
Smiths who have been famous
enough to be included In its list of
notables and another contains 230
such names.
From the earliest days Of Ameri-
can history the Smiths have played
an important part In making that
history. For 1t was the doughty
Capt. John Smith, an English ad-
venturer, who led the little band
of colonists to the shores of Vir-
ginia In 1907 and at jamestown
founded the first permanent Eng
lish settlement In America, a settle
ment destined to grow into colony
that was to give a new nation its
first President.
Although we think of Smith pri-
marily as a soldier. the fact is that
among his books was a treatise on
seamanship that is a model of its
kind. That was "A Sea-mans
Grammar, or, An Accidence, The
Pathway to Experience necessary
for all young seaman, or those that
desire to go to Sea- published in
1926. 1t was not only the first
printed book on seamanship, naval
gunnery and nautical terms pub
lished In England but 1t has also
served as the backbone of prac-
tically every book on seamanship
published In the last 300 years.
Just as Smith was the founder
and ruler of the first permanent
English settlement In America, so
1t is appropriate that a Smith
should be one of the So immortals
who signed the Declaration of In
dependence and thus become one Of
the Fathers of the Republic" He
was James Smith, born In Ireland
about 1720, then an emlgrant to
Pennsylvania where he grew up to
become a leader In the agitation
for freedom from British rule. He
wrote an essay ION the Constitu-
tional Power of Great Britain Over
the Colonies In America" which Is
said to have given "the first strong
impulse to the patriot cause In the
colony of Pennsylvania"
Americas official national an
them, as everybody knows, is "The
Star-Spangled Banner" But there
is another song, an unofficial ma
tional hymn" which is sung on pa
triotic. occasions quite as much as
is Keys stirring composition and 1t
was written by Smith. Samuel
Francis Smith was his name and

he was born In Boston In 1903.
While student at Andover theo-
logical seminary he wrote the words
of the song beginning "My Coun-
try, Tis of Thee" and on July 4,
1882, this song, to which has been
given the simple title of "Amer-
ica," was sung for the first time at
a children's celebration In the Park
Street church In Boston.
Before attending the Andover
seminary to prepare himself for his
lifework as Baptist minister,
Smith had been graduated from
Harvard In 1920, in the same class
with Oliver Wendell Holmes. And
1t was Holmes who, In his class re-
union poem. "The Boys" told in
these words how this Smith had

A Smith was the founder OF the

facts. II would be appropriate If a
Smith were elected President Of the
