THE CONTRIBUTION
OF THE MAGYARS
TO AMERICA
Excerpt of Address at the
Hungarian Day in Young
stown, O., 1888 August z.
By Reu. FRANCISa.NAGY |
1t is generally conceded that
all the racial groups Dhich
came to these shores contri-
buted something to the cha
racter, culture and material
advancement of this country.
The Magyar haze giUen their
share, yea! more than their
share. This is not a sealouS
erGggerdtion, but a statement
supported by irretutable facts.
As proof I shall marshal up
all the evidence at n1y dis
p0sdl.
At the outset I Uish to
point out that the name
"HungGrian" is a naisnoner.
As far as can ascertain it
was an uninforned English
historian aDho first nais11anaed
the Magyars "Hungarians."
Obviously this pseudo -hastO-
rian Was aDoetully deficient in
the knowledge concerning the
historical background OF the
Magyars. The Hams, as a0e all
know, entered Central Europe
in the 5th century and put the
finishing touches on the al
ready cr4nabling Roman En-
pire. The Magyars came to
present day Hungary in the
9th century - five hundred
gears later! And they haze
been living there euer since.
The name OF Col. Michael
KOvacs in Dritten indeliblu in
the annals of the American
Revolutionary War. 1t ,Oas this

not only trained, but lead the
American capalry.
In 1860 there apere about
1000 Magyars Iiving in An,eri-
ce- When President Lincoln
sent oats his call for men to
join the Northern Army, more
than 800 Magyars Doluteeredi
This means that practically
eUery able-bodied Magyar lined
up aDith the Union Army. As
far as proportjonate popats
lation is concerned, no other
racial group can match this

Melton RiuaIs HubbelI
 Now as Southpa,u Hrler
By GEORGE ZIELKE

Written Fer The AP Feature Seryice
 A rival of King Carl Hubbell for the title of best lefthanded pitcher in the National league, won his spurs in 1887; Cliff Melton
 The official averages bear out the fact the Giants made a ten-strike in picking up this Yankee castoft Melton, while cha.aing up 20 wins against 8 defeats for 690 per- centage, allowed an average of only 2.6l earned runs per nine-inning game. He ranked second in the league in both respects Hubbell, the percentage leader, and Lee Gris- som of Cincinnati, Cliffs rival for .southpawing honors. were well down the list with 319 and 325 earned- run averages, respectively.
 Cliff worked in more games than lany other Giant pitcher-in 46. Dur ing the early part of the season, Manager Bill Terry used him prin- cipally as a relief hurler, but Cliff reached his greatest heights as a starting pitcher He shared with Hubbell the burden of the Giants stretch drive for the pennant. Melton had scant success in the World Series. in which he had hoped to gain some personal revenge against the Tanks. Joe Mccarthy the Ruppert Rifles boss, took Cliffs 6feet-4ia finch. 205-pound frame to spring training camp in 1885 but it was just for the ride The elongated lefthander came back strong with Baltimore in 1886 to win another chance in the big show
 He had something of a reputa- ton as wild southpaw in his early league experience, beginning in 1881 He had the hop on his fast ball working, though, in 1893 and 1886 with Baltimore, reaching top fi- gure of 158 strikeouts in '36 Last season he famed 142 National Leag- uers who couldn't fathom his loose windup and croSs-fire delivery. He issued 55 walks
 Mickey Mouse" now 25, was born at Brevard. N. C., but first attract ed attention athletically in his higf school days at Black Mountain, N C., where he was known as Slim He joined Ashville of the Piedmont League in 1881 and was sold to Bal timore. The Orioles sent him out to Erie of the Central League fol brief spell, and eventually sole him to the Yankees. The Tanks had him at Binghamton and New ark for a while before relinquishine title to his services.

ROSE BOWL NOT FOR CAL.
 SAY CRITICS
California S Dr. Sproul Write "Okeh, If That S
 the Way You Feel

BERKELEY, Cal, Feb. 1.-Presi- dent Robert Gordon Sproul of the University of California said the Golden Bears, Rose Bowl victors New Year Day, might decline future invitations to the Pasadena football classic because of criticism of the method of ticket distribution for the last game.
 Dr. Sproul answered allegations by several Southern California sources that California alumni bought up practically all seats in the Rose Bowl and that few Pasadenans could buy tickets.
 Each. of some 3oOO0 California alumni was entitled to six tickets and a block was set aside for Ala bama, California's opponent The stadium holds 85,000
 Naturally. I regret exceedingly that it should have been the bad fortune of the University of Califor- mia to bring to light the inequalities cf the ticket distribution agreement. When the agreement was made, it was undoubtedly the intention of all concerned to insure the financial success of the Tournament of Roses.

 It was emphasized at last nights meeting that the car contest fund.- raising campaign is strictly for work relief. The money thus raised will go into a special fund to be ad- ministered by the city officials. Men with families who have been here the longest will be given first pref erence and the work will be por- tioned out, depending on the volume of money raised.

They are men who want to work, he said and expressed themselves as glad to get employment. | T think we should stress that fact" said Councilman MacKin-
 non, that this is a work relief un- dertaking. This money goes to pro- vide employment for men who want to support their families but are unable to find jobs"
 1 Similar sentiment was expressed by others at the meeting, the con- census being that there are men in the community who need work and that it is up to the community to provide it if possible.

Chain-StOre Ball? Not for Detroit,
 Says Jack zeIler

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. There will be no chain-store baseball for the Detroit Tigers.
 Citing what he regards as sev- eral evils of outright ownership by major-league clubs of minor-league franchises, Jack ZeIler, newly ap- pointed minor-league director of the Detroit club, has announced the IT. gers will have working agreements with 12 teams in 1888.
 Evils seen by zeller is chain-store ownership are:
 Local citizens resent outside ownership of their teams; 2-The big-league club that goes in for complete ownership of it's farms must keep minor-league players of all ages and classifications on it's roster in order to keep it's teams in Ipennant fights in their respective leagues; 3 - There is too much switching around of players between links in the chain and the local fans resent it when their stars are sent elsewhere in mid-season.
 Advantages of the working agree ment, according to Zeller, are: L. A club is required to keep only young players who have genuine chance to make the major leagues on it's list; g. Local ownership makes the fans more enthusiastic in support; 3.-If player is pro- noted to the major leagues before the minor season ends, the fans are not so bitter against local owner as they would be if big-league

ICIANTS' MOVE UP ION PITTSBURGH
 WITH DOUBLE WIN
Pirates Save One Game of Cubs Series-Yanks. In-
 crease Lead
By STEVE SNYDER

(United Press Stan Correspondent
 Chicago, Aug. 15-(UP)-About this time every year, Bill Terry rubs his magic lamp and starts the New York Giants on their way to another National league pennant.
 Terry rubbed it just in time this summer. The Giants were playing just about the poorest baseball in the majors until whatever happens to Giant teams in August began to happen. Now they are only four and one-half games back to the league-leading Pittsburgh Pirates.
 It was only the last place Phila- delphia Phillies which New York defeated twice yesterday, but vic- tories like that are just as impor- tant as any other.
 While Pittsburgh was shaking oil its three game losing streak by de- feating the Chicago Cubs, 2 to o, the Giants picked up 8 half game on the leaders by polling out B. hits in their Il to and IA to vic- toriees over the Phillies.
 The odd part of 1t was that the National league champions didn't look great polishing off the Phils. Neither starting pitcher-Hal Schu- to finish and in the second game, macher and Bill Lohrman-was able the infleld made three errors.
 Won One
 Pittsburgh, after dropping two straight to the Cubs, salvaged the third game on six-hit pitching by Russ Bauers, former Chicago sand lotter, and good old Mace Brown who came in with the bases loaded in the ninth and proved he's the best relief pitcher in the league.
 Charley Root pitched a home run ball to Johnny Rizzo in the second inning and was charged with the defeat which dropped the Cubs six and one-half games out of first place.
 Fred Fitzsimmons allowed Boston only three hits as Brooklyn won the first half of a double header, 2 to 0, but the Bees got Lou Fette OA AulAo AA tAlC oCCOAlu dllu he won his eighth game of the year, 6 to 4.
 Cincinnati and St. Louis also split. Paul Derringer won his 18th game as the Reds won the opener, to 4, and Clyde Shoun, a lefthander, gave up only six hits as the Cards won the second, 8 to 1.
 In the American league, the New York Yankees also picked up an- other full game, increasing their lea over Cleveland to seven and one-half games, by rolling over Philadelphia, 4 to 3, and 9 to 2. Lou Gehrig hit homer in each game.
 Cleveland on home runs by Ken Keltner and Earl Averill, did what they could about staying near the Tanks by whipping Monte Stratton and the Chicago White Sox, 6 to 4.
