Night Baseball

Thousands of WaShington'S base
ball fans will welcome the news that
night baseball is coming to Griffith
Stadium next summer. Big league
baseball under the stars and flood
lights has ceased long since to be a
novelty in a majority of the Ameri-
can and National League parks
Washington is one of five of the
sixteen major league clubs which
have held back from adopting what
was once described as "circuS stuff" +"
But the "circus stuff" has continued
to draw the crowds, although the
novelty has worn off; while attend
ance at matinee performances here
and in some of the other day base
ball cities has not been all that could
be desired by the owners of the sun
shine clubs.
Clark Griffith, one of the original
skepticS, was won over to the noe
turnal game by the convincing dem
onstrations in other cities that night
ball is practical from the technical
standpoint, is popular with the play
ers and is highly remunerative at
the turnStlleS. In Washington,
where the Senators have had per-
Evening star., 1940-11-09

It symbolizes such a number of i'm
mortal things. King Alfred raised
two bastions here in 1886. Henry VIII
had his residence in the shadow Of
the portion now known as the White
Tower. His wives Anne Boleyn and
Catherine Howard were tried in the
vanished Great Hall and his daugh-
ter Elizabeth was a prisoner for a
while in the residence wrecked by
Cromwell. Earlier by generations
William Wallace and David Bruce
were brought to the prison from Scot
land, King John and the Duke of
Orleans from the battlefieldS of
France. Lady Jane Grey was lodged
in chamber still shown, and the
reformers Cranmer, Latimer and
Ridley were held in confinement
within walls SUPP rosed to be intact
to this present hour.
For Americans the Tower is i'm
portant if only because Raleigh wrote
his Historic of the World and Penn
his mo Cross, No Crown" while
awaiting royal pleasure One died;
the other lived; both are immortal in
the judgment of the heirs of their
courage and their daring. The spirit
OF dauntless race, manifest in their
defiance of circumstance, survives, as
the Tower itself does, to witness for
a human value indeStructible.
Evening star., 1940-11-09
The Tower of London

A lucky hit by the Germans prob
ably would do considerable damage
in that remnant of the Middle Ages
which inadequately is called the
Tower of London. The buildings
there, admittedly, are old and fragile.
Modern explosives could work tre-
mend0uS havoc within the enclosure,
if they were placed strategically to
must fly too high above their target
to be apt to score bull'S-eye such
as would demolish the entire assem-
bly, of ancient and historic structures
which Shakespeare believed Caesar
began and later commentators are
confident the Norman monk Gundul
of Bee and Henry III carried forward.
The whole great monument, of
course, should be exempt from willful
attack. Only theoretically could it
be regarded as legitimate objective
for deliberate assault. According to
William Hepworth Dixon, "the most
ancient and most poetic pile in
Europe" seems fragile relic of times
irretrievably lost. He writes of it as
being white with age and wrinkled
by remorse." Long "the home of our
stoutest kings, the grave of our
noblest knights, the scene of our
gayest revels, the field of our darkest
crimes" the tourist finds the congeries
as ephemeral as the draperieS, the
painted scenery, the props of an
ordinary commercial theater. Even
the Jewel House in which the regalia
used in coronation ceremony is
displayed appears a frail depository.
Yet the Tower, each separate part
of it, is very real. Indeed, there are
few other things on earth so genuine.
The name applied to the spot is alive.

Reports Different Meanings
OF Word Ambassador"
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star
Because of the recent controversy
over the meaning Of ambassador" it
occurs to me that it might be interest
ing to review the definitions furnished
by several standard authorities.
The Americana says: Ambassador,
from the medieval Latin ambassador,
an agent, diplomatic officer of the high
est rank, the representative of one ma
ton at the court of another. ''' Until
1893 the United States had been repre-
sented at foreign courts by persons with
the rank of ministers-Iesident, accredited
in the care of the great powers as
envoys-extraordinary and minister's
plenipotentiary. In that year, however,
an act of Congress was passed allow
ing the President to accredit Ambassa-
dors as United States representatives at
several of the more important European
courts"
According to the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA, the word signifies: "A public min
lister of the first rank, accredited and
sent by the head Of a sovereign state as
his personal representative to negotiate
with foreign government and to watch
over the interests of his own nation
abroad"
The Century Dictionary, more spe-
cifically than either of the foregoing,
gives the Interpretation: "a diplomatic
agent of the highest rank, employed to
represent officially one prince or state
at the court or to the government of an
other; in general, any diplomatic agent
of high rank. Ambassadors represent
the person of their sovereignS, as well
as the state from which they come.
The United States sends and receives no
ambassadors in this sense of the term,
but only ministers of the second rank.
