THE GREAT
by Ruth Taylor

One drowsy summer afternoon
In England, driving through the
quiet countryside down winding
country roads. through leaf roi-
fed lanes, past green fields and
little villeges clustered around
old stone church, we came to a
meadow beyond which the great
waters of the Thames sparkled
under the late afternoon sun. My
said quietly and almost reveren-
tly : "This is Runnymede." In
stantly Strengthened up from my
comfortable position in the car,
for "Runnymede" deeply stirred
my emotionh as l though of what
it meant to America and Ameri-
cans.
Many if the quiet villages
through which we had passed are
piles of crumbled stones. The
grey churches r but mashes Of
rubble-their affairs open ii the
heavens in mute appeal. Today
the fields are furrowed to prevent
the landing of hostile planes. eThe
roads are barricaded with barbed
companion stopped the car and
wire. Today the silver blue ribbon
of the Thames is a treachedous
guide to the enemy from the sky.
But Runnymede is imperishable
ii every Britain-and to every
American. Bombs cannot hurt it,
nor devastation of war dim its
glory, for there the Magma Chart
1.-The Great Charter of England
was signed. Runnymede was the
real cradle of those Anglo Saxon
liberties which are our proudest
heritage.
More than seven centuries ago
on this lush meadow the Great
Charter was wrested from King
John by the Barons, the Church
and the citizens Of London acting
together. The principal objects Of
the Charter were to restrict the
power of the King to demand and |
obtain armed Service from nobility
and commons; to end the sale, de-
NAL and delay Of justice; to pro-
tect life. liberty, and property from
arbitrary forfeiture and seizure;
to prevent the imprisonment of an
individual except after due trial
and judgment by his peers. and last
but by no means least, was a pro-
vision appointing twenty-five bar
ons conservators of the public
liberties and granting them the
right to war on the King for a
violation of the Great Charter"
Often misinterpreted, often badly
carried out, it nevertheless be-
came the basis of the struggle for
English liberty from which came
the gradual granting of our COM
mon law.
Today the Magma Charta rests
safely in Washington to remain
there for the duration of the war.
While it in our guest, as it was
our inspiration, let US not forget
the great principles for which it
stands. 1t calls to US in the name
of all those who fought and sacri-
feed and struggled for the liberties
we prize, to support to. the best
Of our ability the fight for free
dom and liberty for all meh, Of
all races and creeds and color

More than a few have ranked
Herb Pennock as the top left handler
Of the long parade-for brains, con-
troll, style and the rest of it. Pen

and Bill Hanna knew his share of
baseball.
Wen still string with Grove,
Plank, Waddell, Pennock, and Hub
bell, in that order. Grove, at his
greatest physical peak, was still
learning how to pitch. I've seen
him strike out six Of the first nine
Yankees and be hammered from the
box two innings later. When Grove
got to be canny and cunning he was
almost unbeatable. For example
1931-when he won 81 and lost 4.
That's what you might call pitch
ing. Compare this to any 1871 rec

others.

NJ ASHVILLE, TENN.-This is the
~ story of one of the greatest
pitchers-and one of the oldest ball
players-that ever wore a spike or
threw a curve ball.
He started his pitching career
here at Sulphur Dell well over 40
years ago and he is still working
out every day at Redland field, Gin
cinnati.
His name is Noodles Hahn.
Noodles Hahn, a slender left hand
er, set record of 16 strikeouts for
the revised National league. This
was back in 1901 with the Reds. He
foated his dinky drinks by hostile
bats year after year, back in the
forgotten days.
But last fall saw him working
out before the first World series
game in Cincinnati between Reds
and Tigers.
81 haven't missed days work.

yesterday. And you'll still find
Noodles Hahn working out with
Bucky Walters, Paul Derringer and
other Red pitchers who were born
long after Hahn set his is strike
outs mark. ar
Hahn was a left handler who be-
longed to the Herb Pennock, Eddie
Plank school. He lacked the blazing
speed of q Grove or a RUDE Wad-
dell, but he could tie up batters into
more knots than 10 sailors could
unite in week. And you could see
the seams ON the ball as it came
floating nm.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1941-10-03
Great Left Handlers

Who are the greatest left handlers
baseball has ever known? RUDE
Waddell and Noodles Hahn, perfect
opposites, were two of the best, dat
ing back to 1900. Each held a
strike out record of 16.
To this pair, covering the last 40
years, you can add Eddie Plank,
Nap Rucker, Rube Marquard, Doc
White (the left handler who always
baffled Ty Cobb, Herb Pennock, the
star Of the stylists, Carl Hubbell and
Robert Moses Grove.
From this list Rube Waddell and
Lefty Grove undoubtedly had the
big edge in physical stuff-which
largely consists in speed. Speed
and fast curve. Wadden had the
fastest breaking curve ever thrown.
On the right handed side this dis
tinction belonged to Dazzy Vance.
Waddell and Vance could start a
fast curve for your Adams apple
and have it kick up dust in front
of the plate.
So could Nap Rucker-minus the
speed. happened to swing few
bats against Nap Rucker around
1903-swinging shoulder high-only
to see the catcher take the pitch
ankle high.
Toad Ramsey, one Of the great
est, goes on back beyond the 40
year span. Toad had curve ball
you couldn't hit with two planks.
His record was phenomenal. But
that was too far away and too long
ago.

Henry has been experimenting
with the idea for years. He is
man who always looks ahead. And
wipes his own windshield.
A farm boy, Hank always nour-
ished the notion that the "Man With
the Hoe" could do anything that
could be done by the ''Vice Presi-
dent With the Blueprint. And after
all there was nothing SO fanciful in
the idea of making an auto out of
vegetables. Henry had been max
ing spinach out of automobiles all
his life.
Henry's first problem was to find
out which vegetables would go best
in automobiles. He could dismiss
the cucumber at the start. Too
many people won't have anything to
do with cucumbers.
He then considered onions, but
dropped them quickly. After all, he
was making car, not a hamburger.

Lettuce and tomatoes were
suggested, but vetoed after the
opening debate. MIR. Ford did
not want the public to get his
car confused with a reducing
diet. AfE

The soybean had begun to poke
it's noggin up and attract attention
for some time. Of all vegetables,
none has gotten ahead in life like
the soybean.
The jelly bean, the string bean
and the lima bean were better
known, but never got anywhere in
dustrially. (Once in October, 1928,
string bean did succeed in getting
into the reception room of Mr..
Ford's offices, but it was kept wait
ing SO long that when the word final
| ly came, s'Mr. Ford will see you
now," it had gone stale.-Ed nOte.)
But it was soon found that almost
anything from a harmonica to a
trailer could be made from the soy
bean, and Henry always liked bean
that was ambitious and full of get
up and go.
In 1882 somebody suggested that
automobiles could be made from
hay, but word came from Detroit
that Mr.. Ford was satisfied to keep
on making hay from automobiles.
Anyhow, Henry has succeeded in
his experiments, and in the priori-
ties crisis has found a way to make
a flivver almost entirely from the
vegetable garden. The plastic ma
terial has 10 times the strength of
steel in resisting a blow. It's the
iron in the vegetables.
Of course, the government can
throw monkey wrench into Mr..
Ford's car by putting the soybean
and other vegetables on priorities
list. Anyhow, good luck to the idea.
But we hope we don't get another
one of those tire jacks made out Of
mashed potatoes.
