place in the proper division. On
Memorial Day, the largest crowd of
the year, dedicates, consecrates and
hallows the horse races. At Bel

Memorial Day a crowd of 10000

ut is then that they must realize
how fortunate they are in having
been called upon to make the SUI
preme sacrifice; how unhappy such
patriots as President Roosevelt and
Mayor LaGuardia must be to have
to conSecrate, hallow and dedicate
instead of being dead themselves
dead on the battlefield. The dead
must pity the fate of all the men
on the reviewing stands.
THE newspapers yesterday were
filled with the athletic events
of Memorial Day. The sports pages
we're lively with results. The Giants
took second place and the Yankees
broke even. But no one mentioned
the scores to the dead who died on
the battlefield. The games were
over after the dead had been dedi-
Gated and hallowed. However. II
might have been possible to give the
boys under the sod the results Of
the first games. But perhaps the
generals and our other fathers we're
thinking only Of the solemnity of
the occasion. On solemn occasion,
we do not think of baseball scores.
We do not think of chorus girls. We
do not think of automobile rides
into the country. We dedicate, we
hallow, we consecrate.
CEVENTY thousand customers
y turned out to hallow the yam
KEGS. Who can doubt but that these
seventy thousand people would not
rather have died on the battlefield
and been hallowed by the hallowers
on the reviewing stands? One can
be sure that their thoughts were
on the boys in blue and gray and
khaki who had fought for the
Union and the Confederacy, who
had gone to Cuba. and who had
sailed to France, all to be hallowed.
Earl Whitehill pitched one-hit
shut-out game, and he was hallowed
on the sports pages yesterday; but
who can doubt that he would not
have felt better if he had died on
the battlefield and Fiorello had
placed wreath on his grave? The
boys in the Civil War we're hallowed
by Abe; Teddy hallowed the boys Of
San Juan; Woodrow hallowed the
A. E. F.; and Franklin is looking
to hallow those who die on the bat
tlefeld in his time. Why shouldn't
he have something Of his own to
hallow?
