WHALES RECALL GLORY OF
HISTORIC PAST 49, 80.
By BRUCE CATION

The structure of American history IS
built of a great many unlikely blocks, and
YOU can find romantic reminders OF it IN
the most unexpected places. . .
For instance: one-sentenee dispatch
from Honolulu the other day revealed that
great schools of whales have been seen
again in Hawaiian waters for the first time
in several generations. And while 1t IS
hard to think of anything less exciting or
timely than the temperance OF whales IN
the mid-Pacific, the little item does hold up
a mirror to one of the most romantic ana
colorful phases of our national story.
If the eagle is our national bird, the
whale ought to be our national fish. Ton,
sure, a whale isn't really fish, but let that
pass.) 1t was the whale that helped turn
our New Englanders into seafares; the
whale that caused exploration OF the Pacl-
fic; the whale that made world travellers
out of the stay-at-home Americans, and
introduced our flag into out-of-the-way
ports in every corner of the earth.
Back in the take-it-easy days. before
people found out what petroleum was
good for, the whale was the beastie that
lighted our lamps. Whales are fat, and
from their fat oil can be made; and the
whalers of New England went to every
sea on the globe. staging the most thrilling
combination of hunting and fishing party
the world ever saw, to meet this need.
1t was these whalers who charted the
myriad unknown islands Of the Pacific,
They paved the way for missionaries,
traders, and the agents of empire in far
off and romantic lands.
They lighted our lamps, provided the
wherewithal for the corsetS, which graced
the figures of American womanhood,
brought in the oil that fabricated our
watches, and helped provide New Eng
land with the capital that financed deVe-
lopment of the west. 49,.
Their industry is as dead as doorknob
now, in such centers as New Bedford
and Nantucket The strange skill and dar-
ing that they developed for theis unusual
calling has vanished from the earth.
The sturdy, smelly little ships in which
they roamed the seven seas have been
broken up, or cut down into coal barges
and the commodity in which they dealt
now has few uses.
But the memory of these tough sea row
ers is worth keeping alive. A good share
of American history some OF III
most exciting chapters--is bound up witt
the story of the whalers. ..

Traynor's big offensive guns of last
year-"Arky" Vaughan, Forrest Jen-
sen and Paul and Lloyd Waner-
have failed miserably in trying to
connect with National League pitch

IN both leagues, is now limping along
with 261.
Brubaker Shines
Wilbur Brubaker, who took Trav-
nor'S place at third, and First Base
man Gus Suhr are making I'D for
the batting slump. Brubaker is
humming along with a .467 average
at bat while Suhf has 1893. Pitts
ourgh fielding is another reason
that the team has gone so high this
season. The 81 errors made by
Pirate fielders for an average of $40
were fewer than those committed
by any other team in the league.
Yesterday it was young Brubaker
who starred in the Pirates 9-to-6
defeat of the Cincinnati Reds. He
had perfect day at bat with two
doubles and two singles in four at
temptS. Two hits by Suhr also
assisted Bill Swift in registering his
second win, which moved the Pr
ates into third place ahead of the
New York Giants, who were idle.

In the only other National Ieapus
game scheduled, the st. Lol,i,
Cardinals rooted the Chicago Cubs
out of first place with an IL to
