paint and have her engines over
hauled.
Her official Christening took place
February 81, 1914, and the following
April she returned to the builders
yards for a final inspection after
undergoing successful tests off the
Delaware breakwater. Specifications
had called for a speed of 1l.6 knots
an hour, but the vessel did better
than was anticipated, setting a max
imum speed of 1923 knots.
The Sacramento is gunboat of
1,425 tons displacement, and her
construction was authorized by Con-
gress in March, 1911, at a cost OF
1892 500 for hull and machinery.
A trial jaunt to Mexican waters
as part of the Atlantic Fleet was
the first voyage taken by the Sac
ramento. She returned to the East
Coast of the United States in Oc-
tober, 1914, and two months later
rushed back to Mexico for the pro-
lection of American lives and prop
erty.
Before the end of another year
the Sacramento, in compliance with
orders from the commander in chief
of the Atlantic Fleet, moved into
Haitian waters, where she patrolled
ports and was on duty in co-opera-
ton with the American expedl-
Evening star., 1939-09-10

tionary forces in the islands from
September to December, 1915. Two
years went by without any espe-
cially exciting events taking place
in the life of the vessel; then war
was declared between the United
States and Germany
Assisted Ship Seizures.
At that time the Sacramento was
in the Navy Yard at New Orleans
undergoing repairs. Capt. Thomas
T. Craven, U. S. NJ, was is COM
mand, and within few days of
her discharge from the Navy Yard
the gunboat assisted the customs
authorities in taking over two Ger
man ships, the Breslau and the
Andromeda, and three Austrian
ships, the Anna, the Clara and the
Theresa.
With these "scalps" at her belt,
the Sacramento went on duty with
the patrol force and began opera
tions off Newport, r. l., late in
April. Responding to an sos, the
vessel set out to do what she could
to save a British ship, the Sebas-
tian, which caught afire. The crew
was put on board the Sacramento
and a try made to extinguish the
blaze, so the Sebastian could be
towed to port. Efforts of the two
crews combined were futile, how

ever. and the Sebastian sank. The
commanding officer and the crew of
the Sacramento were commended
by the British government for the
rescue of the Sebastian's crew and
the efforts to save the ship.
Another rescue was effected June
26, 1917, when the Sacramento sue
ceeded in taking officers, crew, rec
ords and equipment off the U. S. S.
Olympia, grounded off Corebus
Shoals. She stood by until the
Olympia was refloated.
Again, it was time for the gun
boat to be put into shape-this
time for foreign service. She en-
tered the New York Navy Yard to
get her new outfit, and sailed from
there July %, 1917, with mercan-
tile convoy for Gibraltar.
The Sacramento was the first
United States naval vessel to arrive
in Mediterranean waters after this
country entered the war. Attached
to the United States patrol force
based at Gibraltar, she performed
duty as escort to mercantile con-
voys sailing between "the Rock" and
British ports.
A British ship, the Swan River
was torpedoed by an enemy SUBJ
marine, and the Sacramento, es-
corting her, was asked to stand by
Evening star., 1939-09-10

Developments were so serious that
the crew of the Swan River had
to be taken aboard by the Sacra-
mento. and while an attempt was
being made to tow the crippled YES
sci to port she sank.
Capt. Thomas T. Craven was de-
tached as commanding officer OF
the Sacramento on January %, 1918,
and was replaced by Comdr. w. w.
Galbraith, U. S. N. The following
July the Subadar, one of the ships
of the convoy on which the Sacra-
mento sailed, was torpedoed. The
Sacramento changed her course and
headed for the sinking boat, drop
ping depth charges, but with no
apparent results.
After Armistice.
After the Armistice a call was
made at Bizerta, Tunis. on Novem-
ber 21, 1918, to transport men from
the mine force based on that port to
Gibraltar. Then the call came to
return home. On November 30,
1918, the gunboat set sail for the
United States, arriving at New Or
leans on January 8, 1919. During the
time the Sacramento operated with
the Gibraltar forces she cruised 63,-
$40 miles, was at sea 343 days and
escorted 483 ships.
Another change was made in COM

insurance, construction and similar
concerns. 1t was soft pickings.
The depression wiped out much of
this. The rich alumni have been
holding on to what they have, and
the athletes have been forced to
choose between leaning on shovel,
and thus fighting for the dear old
w. P. A., and needing the tempta-
tions of the football club owners.
Stars Are Paid Well.
1t isn't hard for a fellow of % or
% to listen to those temptations. Not
if he is crack football player. Gold
/ berg is reported to be collecting SILL
900 for playing ii championship
games as Cardinal this year.
O'Brien figures to draw down SIS
0OO-and this is conservative esti-
mate. Sammy Baugh has been
making $4,000 per annum and is
going into his third season. Whizzer
White was paid like sum for play
ing with Pittsburgh last year, and
Luckman ought to collect around
So 900 from the Bears. Where else
is a young fellow going to find
business so willing to stake him to
so much right off the bat?
The answer is: Nowhere.
And, now. another question: How
can the pro football teams offer so
much when other sports have been
suffering? This isn't hard to answer,
either. When the depression hit the
game it not only got more name
players" from football but absorbed
the fading clientele from boxing,
baseball and other professional
sports. The fans began to pinch
their dollars and look around for
the best show for their money. Pro
football people were smart enough
to appreciate it.
They exploited their stars and
continued to change their rules so
their game embraced free scoring,
wide-open style that differed from
the collegiate game and guaranteed
more heroics. Moreover, they added
side shows. With George Marshall
of Washington as the leader, they
| introduced swing bands. glee clubs
fireworks, cannon, contests and jit-
terbugs as extra attractions. Pro
! football became veritable three
ring circus.
A few years ago the National
League hit upon the happy scheme
of holding a college draft. 1t is
sort of human grab-bag which Is
held in December. The names of
the most talented college seniors are
gathered.
The circuit is divided into two
sections-Eastern and Western. The
poorest team in each division is
given first choice at the college play
ers. That is how the Eagles landed

manders in April, 1919. Comdr. Otto
Bowling relieved Comdr. Galbralth,
taking charge after extensive repairs
had been made on the ship. Sailing
from New York for duty with the
United States naval forces in North
ern Russia, the gunboat arrived May
% at Murmansk. where she remained
on duty until July 13.
Calls were made at Bergen and
Christiania, Norway, and at Brest
France. From there, the Sacra-
mento proceeded to Spolato, Dalma-
tia, and reported to the commander
of the United States naval forces in
the Eastern Mediterranean for duty
in connection with the demobiliza-
ton of the forces there in carrying
out the terms of the Armistice.
When this duty was completed, the
gunboat sailed again for the United
States in December, calling at Corfu
Naples, Villa Franche, Gibraltar and
the Azores. On arrival in the United
States in February, 1920, she entered
the Norfolk Navy Yard for another
overhauling and repairing.
Comdr. Bowling was relieved by
Comdr. C. F.. Meyers, U. S. N, and
early the following spring the vesseI
sailed from Hampton Roads, at
tached to Division /, Cruiser Force
Atlantic Fleet, for duty in Mexico
and Central American waters, re-
porting on political conditions, and
obtaining intelligence and hydro
graphic information.
Visits we're made to ports in Hon.
duras, Nicaragua, Panama and Costa
Rica. At the completion Of this
duty the gunboat returned to the
United States and entered the
Charleston Navy Yard for overhaul

slated for six months duty with the

The admirals have, at long last,
written "Finis' to the active duty
of the U. S. S. Sacramento. Better
known as "the Galloping Ghost Of
the Seven Seas" the old gunboat is
easily the Navy's No. adventure
ship. For Is years, her career has
been an almost uninterrupted series
of thrills. Yet henceforth-for a
brief spell, at least-shell serve only
as training tub on the Great Lakes.
This squatty, old-fashioned hook
er with high stack has had seven
years on the war-swept coasts OF
China, has rescued many ship
wrecked yawl, halted the mutiny OF
commercial vessels, protected
Americans against revolutionists,
rendered help in time of earthquake
and other cataclysms, and, during
the World War, served as conveys
to scores of American and allied
ships through waters made danger
GUS by the presence of mines and
enemy men o'war.
If ever a ship was true Navy, it is
the Sacramento. Her prov has been
dented by the docks of nearly every
major port. She has been painted
and reconditioned in just about
every American harbor from New
Orleans to Boston. And yet the
snub-nosed little vessel has rarely
ever been a regular unit OF a fleet
What a striking picture she made
several years ago, when she pushed
her way in among the proudest
streamlined ships of the French and
British navies at Gibraltar! Eye
witnesses insist that, as always, she

to rectify an apparent unfairness.
1t would seem the college player has
nothing to say about where he is
going to play. The society might do
we'll to arm itself with all the facts
first.
Take the case of the Eagles and
O'Brien. BY drafting Davey the
Philadelphia team had exclusive
right to negotiate with the mighty
mite. Other clubs could not bid.
Evening star., 1939-09-10

II O'Brien had decided against pro
ball the Eagles simply would have
been out one of their draft players.
If the Eagles and O'Brien had failed
to agree on terms, Carl Storck,
president of the National League,
would have been asked to make a
ruling. Either the Eagles offer was
fair or it wasn't, in which case
O'Brien would have been declared a
free agent. Then other clubs would
have been permitted to dicker for
him.
But it isn't often that free agents
are declared. In the first place weak
teams come first in the National
League. Sometimes the acquisition
of a single star will make title
contender out of team which had
finished in last place. The winner
gets all the worst of it in the draft
which perhaps explains why cham
pionship teams don't repeat. And
if a team that needs passer, as the
Eagles needed one last year, gets a
chance to get an O'Brien it generally
makes it worth while for the young
man to sign.
Comparison With Baseball.
Compare, if you please, this
method Of replenishing the player
stock with the manner in which big
league baseball teams must do it.
The colleges offer no fertile field
for baseball clubs in the American
and National Leagues, so the teams
must look elsewhere for the bulk
of their talent. The expanding
chain-store systems present prob
lem. Most of the promising young
ballplayers are tied up-and have
been for years-by a big league
team. Those that aren't. because
they play for an independent minol
| league club, such as Baltimore ir

collegians they hoped to draft. Some
of the boys said they wanted to
play, others were n-committal.
Some, like O'Brien, fatty said no.
But even when a prospect doesn't
intend to play, the chances are the
club owners won't give up. Witness
the case of O'Brien-also the case
of the Redskins when they drafted
Sam Chapman of California a year
ago. Chapman said he wanted to

rather up the line-with the New

They lost, however, for Chapman

He has been there ever since.
