Where Is the only flag In the United
States that waves day and night,
sunshine and rain, and is never
lowered?
It's the flag that flies over the
grave Of Francis Scott Key, author
of the "Star Spangled Banner" in
Mount Olivet Cemetery.
The chamber Of commerce, which
is using this fact as the keynote of
its 1910 publicity, set out to find out
why the flag over Keys grave is
never furled. ,
The answer seemed to be that it
Is done by ong-established custom
originating out of sentiment for the
Marylander who wrote the national
anthem during the British attack on
Fort McHenry in the War of 1872.
Ralph w. Boyer, chamber of COM
merce secretary, consulted c. Cyril
Klein, cemetery superintendent, who
in 1885 tried to solve the riddle of
the unfurled flag Mr.. Klein said he
merely learned that the Key Me-
mortal Association had decreed years
ago that the flag over Keys grave
should never be lowered.
The Boy Scout Handbook said the
only exception to furling the flag at
sunset was at Keys grave. Mr.. Klein
wrote Boy Scout headquarters ask
ing the origin of the custom, but
said he received no definite answer.
The War Department said Con-
gress had passed no act granting the
privilege and q similar answer came
from former Representative David
j. Lewis.
Mr., Klein also queried William
Tyler Page, q vice president general
Of the United States Flag Associa-
ton and minority clerk Of the House
Of Representatives.
Mr.. Page said there was no law on
the subject as far as he could ascer-
tain. He added:
MY own theory about the flag at
the. Key monument is that arbi-
trarily, but very appropriately, 1t
floats there perpetually in keeping
with the sentiment in the star
6pangled Banner so as to, give proof \
that our nag iy still there. 1
IF the Key Association decided, as
I believe 1t had the right to do. to
keep the nag flying at the monu-
ment at al times, think 1t was Z |
very wise and happy decisiorf."

Louis outdoor fight in New York.
But Godoy was the outstanding pos
sibility for a title fight. He had
stayed the limit with the Bomber
the first time and seemed to be in
excellent shape when the Anal bell
rang. He wasn't an idol of the fans,
but neither did they think he was
an out-and-out bum.
GodOy was game but he was far
out Of his class. Rugged, cOura-
geOus and strong, he is hard to dis
courage. He likes to rush and maui
his opponent. This time Louis was
set. He fought his own fight and
made the South American look like
he really is-a second rate fighter.
Plenty of Courage
1t takes more than courage and
strength to win championships. It
takes even more than those two in
gradients to make good contenders.
Otherwise the boxing game would be
cluttered with musclebound heroes.
Godoy's case is typical of today's
heavyweight prospects. At least in
the aspect Of strength. But he,
unlike many others, had courage to
match the champions. Not a few
other contenders we're frightened
stiff before they entered the ring.

Louis, himself, isn't SO fond of de-
Tending his title again and again

Immediately after his last fight,

ogetically: IT know the match is

Louis has been suggested by more
than one boxing enthusiast.
Louis, who won a split decision
over Arturo Godoy in their first en-
counter, took a little short of eight
rounds to chill the Latin in
their more recent bout. In so doing
he eliminated the last gate attrac-
ton from the list Of contenders.

busting in the Open

Two outbreaks of open busting"
came in 1887, once when Dizzy
Dean, angered by the New York
Giants, let fly. at them repeatedly,
and once when Jimmy Wilson, Phil
lies manager, ordered his pitchers to
fiatten Cub batters when the Phil
lies were on the short end of a
IA to 3 score. Players on neither
team, however, harbored a grudge.
The career of Johnny Watwood,
young White Sox player, ended on
a tragic note just 10 years ago. Wat
wood was hit on the head by Cub
fireban hurler Pat Malone during
the Chicago city series in 1880. He
recovered from the skull fracture,
but his baseball days were ended.
His batting skill had vanished.

Medwick Case
Recalls Bygone
Bean Ballers'
BY ROBERT McSHANE

N-oScu ny western newspaper Oulon.J
/ AIRY MacPHAIL'S recent de-
- mand that the National league
bar st. Louis Cardinal Pitcher Bob
Bowman for his "beaning" of Joe
Medwick calls to mind other trag-
edies and semi-tragedies which
stirred the baseball world for
while.
Perhaps the outstanding case in
baseball's history was that of Carl
Mays, New York Yankee pitcher, in
1920. Three American league clubs
tried to have him banished from
baseball when he killed Ray Chap
man, Cleveland infielder, with q
"bean ball."
Accusations of using a bean ball'
were nothing new to Mays. For
three seasons it had been said that
he deliberately fired his air-splitting
submarine BALI at batters' heads
to make them quit crowding the
plate. But this time the charges
were of more serious nature.
The Cleveland players were up in
arms. Only slightly less perturbed
were their colleagues on the Tiger
and Red SOx clubs who met and
announced that they would refuse to
bat against Mays again.
President Ban Johnson absolved
Mays of intent to hit Chapman and
the boycott faded away. But Mays
was the object of widespread dislike
during the remainder of his big
league career.

Reds Make Less than
 Last Year

CINCINNATI, Oct. 16.-Despite scven- game World Series from which the club will realize approXi- mately Sl35,0O0, the world champ ion Cincinnati Reds likely will show profit smaller than last year when they won the National League pennant but were defeated in four straight series games by the Yankees
 Warren c. Giles. vice-president and general manager, said prelim- mary figures which probably are correct" except for minor adjust ments, indicate the club would show profit "appreciably less" than last years $400000.
 Giles said the difference was at- tributed to higher players salaries and lower home attendance-ap- proXimately 130,000 below 1889 when 980,OOO fans went through Crosley Field turnstiles.
