BACKGROUND OF CHRISTMAS
By THE REV. ERLING K. OLAFSON Resurrection Lutheran Church.
Christmas!

Christmas! Yuletide! These two names are applied to the holiday season We approaching. They represent the two elements that are present in this major festival. For Christmas has a double origin; it has it's Christian inception in the custom of commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ and de- rives its pagan background from the mdwner festival honor of the Sunod held shortly after the winter sostice It the intention of the early Christian fathers to take over this pagan holiday and to make it Christian. But even the two influences remain,

line inference, naturally, would
be that the lefthanded pitcher
stopped the lefthanded hitter.
The record, however, will prove
that figures tell half truths.
There is no record in the box
score of the wind that swept in
from the east, carrying threat
of cooling showers. That wind,
however, played a most impor-
tant part in the days work of
Johnny Stone. Had the after
noon been calm, Stones drive in
the first inning which Cramer
caught on the gallop would have
been good for triple, and his
smash in the third inning which
the agile Mel Armada captured
after swift pursuit would have
gone into the stands.
They were hits in any mans
country, but they were a bit too
high and the gale stopped them
at the borders of the field.
Stone hit the best that Grove
had to offer, and hitting the left
handlers best, Johnny established
his right to remain in the game
for the rest of the season, regard
less of the pitching against him.
Fine Defensive Player
It has long been known that
Stone is one of the best defensive
outfielders in baseball. He covers
as much ground as grass, and he
makes as many assists as any
other outfielder. He is challenged
this year by Joe DiMaggio, of
the Yankees, but the young Ital-
ian has one of the great arms
of baseball. He ranks with Happy
Felsh, Bob Meusel, Joe Jackson
and some of the other "Siege
guns" of recent history.
With Stone definitely estab-
lished in left field for several sea-
sons to come, barring unforeseen
developments in the trading mart
this winter, Bucky Harris will
have to come to a decision on
probable disposition of some of
his other outfielders. 1t would
not be surprising to see Jess Hill
change uniforms this winter. Nor
would it be anything of a shock
if Cecil Travis figured in trade.
Change of scenery would help
Hill. He is not a ball player to
flourish sitting on the bench. His
sole detriment, as this observer
notes, is his arm. Hills throws
hang, and frequently give a base
runner that split second which
makes the difference between safe
and out.
Critics are saying in Boston that
Tom YaWkey is looking now to
1887. He is ready, it is said, to
move Dusty Cooke, Jack Russell,
Heinie Manush, Moe Berg, Rube
Walberg, Oscar Melillo and one
or two others. Cooke is figured as
trading material. Melillo has been
mentioned as a possible successor
to Rogers HornSby in st. Louis.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. Is
Maryland'S fall racing campaign
a season that promises to make
turf history for this State, viii
open at 2 p. m. Tuesday when the
Cumberland Fair Associations 10
day session gets under way.
President Harry A. Manley, Of
The host organization, following ar
inspection of the plant with Race
Secretary Edward j. Brennan
said:
"The race meeting which
opens Tuesday is the twelfth.
Our fair, which starts a week
from Monday, will be the nine
teenth. During that time we
have grown considerably, but l
can truthfuIIy say the sport and
entertainment we will offer the
next two weeks has never been
surpassed.
eve have over 400 horses on
the grounds. Many of them won
last spring and during the sum-
mer on the New York, Kentucky,
Maryland, Illinois, Canada, New
H mpShire, Massachusetts,
Texas, West Virginia, Rhode
Island, and Ohio tracks. There
fore, it's my opinion, race fans
are due to witness the best sport
we have ever offered"
"In the neighbOrhOod of 30
jockeys are available. Heading
the list is Sammy PaIumbO, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, one of Amer
ica's 20 leading winning riders.
PalumbO, already victor in more
than 70 races, is out to reach
the coveted 100 mark; therefore
he can be counted upon to show
his best brand of bOOting at all
times. Our racing officials, who
have been approved by the
Maryland Racing Commission,
know their work thoroughly and
it wouldn't be surprising if last
years record, when Al per cent
Of the favorites won, is sur
passed"
Five days racing will be offered
from next Tuesday to Saturday,
inclusive. The thoroughbredS will
rest of August "a, but will swing
into action the following day and
keep going until August 20. Fol,
lowing the racing here, the annual
fall meeting of the Southern Mary
land Agricultural Association will
start September at Marlboro. 1t
will be followed by meetings at tt
monium, Havre de Grace, Laurel,
Pimlico and Bowie in the order
named.
So great is the interest in the
racing here that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad is operating
daily race specials from Baltimore,
Washington, Martinsburg and
Pittsburgh. These specials stop at
the main entrance to the track.
Turtles, who plan to motor here
will find the roads excellent with
free parking space on track prop
erty for 5000 cars.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 15.-Buck
Newsom, whose recent escapadeS
in the pitching area have grieved
Bucky Harris full sore, is current
ly in the bull pen. He will
escape tomorrow afternoon for
the reason that some one or other
has to do a little pitching.
This period of inactivity which
has lasted since the Athletics
nudged him for four runs in
that rain-checked game at Crit
fifth Stadium last week, has
irked Newsom no little. 1t served
something of a purpose, however,
for the photograph man has
weighed in with many a protest
in the hotel Hobbies. Some of the
players developed good old-fash-
Toned earaches listening, while
others just laughed.
Newsom has pitched one good
game in recent memory. He beat
the Detroit Tigers on one hit a
long time ago. 1t is reasonable
to assume that he will pitch an
other good game sooner or later.
He lost three games on the last
Western trip, when the opposition
hit him as if they owned him.
On each of his discomforting oc-
casionS, NewSom will tell you, he
never had more stuff in his life.
Maybe he is right.
This pitching, or the lack Of
pitching, becomes very depl esSing.
Some time or other your agent
would love to see hurler who can
live up to the fine old traditions
of Johnson and a few others.
OF all the dumb-bell stunts,

Johnny Stone poled two prodi-
gious wallops into the outfield,
but once Cramer made a beautiful
catch, and the other time Mel
Armada stepped out and gathered
in the ball.

fights Serge of Italy tonight for
the title while Lou Laurie of Cleve-
land, who was eliminated in a
flyWeight semifinal bout, tries for
third place in a consolation round.
To the boos of a crowd of $4,000,
Wilson defeated Ortiz of Mexico
to gain a shot at the title. The
Cleveland Negro had everything
his own way in the first round,
landing long series of leftS before
Ortiz even scored a blow.
In the second Ortiz crowded
Wilson into corners but failed to
wear him down. Each time Will
son was able to punch and block
his way out of trouble.
The third round saw the Cleve-
land youth batter Ortiz with lefts
and right uppercutS. leaving no
doubt as to the outcome, although
Ortiz protested against the YER
dict and the crowd booed when
Wilson was declared winner.
Malta, the Italian flyweight
champion, decisioned Laurie in a
wild battle which opened slowly
but produced plenty of action
after Laurie scored on Matta'S eye.
Laurie then concentrated on his
opponents eye, while Malta scored
heavily in the second round, fore
ing Laurie to the ropes and pun
melting his face and body. The
third round produced some wild
fighting with neither boxer getting
much of an advantage, and the de-
cision went to the italian on his
