lively, in pro ball for 10 years and
as long as five years ago played a
few games for the Brooklyn Dod-
gers.
His 10-hit streak caused consid-
cradle eyebrow fitting, but those
familiar with the young man S
habits weren't too surprised, for
. they know that when he is in a
hitting streak it means a hitting
streak. He holds the Syracuse club
record of hitting safely in 10 con-
-secutive games, for one thing.
The hard luck streak dates back
!, to May, 1887. Up to that time he
was progressing favorably on the
rocky road to the majors, with
scouts cycling him covertly as a
likely looking prospect.
In May, 1887, however, he was
struck in the head by bail and
suffered a triple fracture a mis-
fortune which would have ended
the career of many a less tena-
cious athlete. 1t did cause him to
go on the voluntary retired list for
a year, but it couldn't keep him
retired,
His history, aside from the beam
ing, up to this year reads like the
history of typical minor league
ball player, one of those unsung,
sver-hopeful lads watching the
years disappear behind them as
they home so very near to regu-
lar major league job without ever
quite making the grade.
A native of Pamplin, Va, Will
liams made his pro debut with the
Tri-cities club of the Bi-state leag~
ue, and from that point on his ca
reer is a parade of sales, trans
fers and options. Most of the time
the Dodgers had their hooks on
him in one way or another.
He went to Dayton in 1886, and
was taken to the Dodger training
camp in the spring of 1887. The
Dodgers sent him on option to
Louisville, where he had his unfor-
tunate accident He returned to
active service the next spring and
was optioned to Elmira, but in
July was transferred to Dayton.
The next year, 1889 found HIM
at Nashville still riding an option,
and in 1910 the option carried him
to Louisville. He was sold to the
Reds Sept. 8, 1910, but the Reds
were knee-deep in infields then so
he was released outright to SYRIA
cuse in March 1871. There he re-
mained until this year although
the Reds bought him back in Au-
gust, 1912.
He's filled in around the infield
this year, but never had much of
a chance to develop a batting
streak until recently. and when
the chance came, he didn't muff it.
Whether he'd be in the majors
now if it were rot for the war
is a question, although he might
as he had his best year with Sy-
racuse last year. He's always
shown great promise. and when
Ducky Holmes had him at Day.
ton he considered him the finest
shortstop prospect since Arky
Vaughan came up.
Anyway, fellow who has had
his skull cracked in triplicate and
can come back to play fine ball
deserves everything that comes to
him.

INTO THE HOUSE

Summer has almost ended and
with it the family picnics that ac-
companied the season as part of
the calendars plan. In spite of
rationing, thousands of American
families picnicked and even if they
changed their location from woods
to home lots and porches there was
still the healthy and wholesome
enjoyment. Picnics wean the open
to us in Kennewick, and in that
jaunt to woods or the steps to
backyard picnic table, food tastes
differently just being outside. The
pleasure enjoyed by our ances-
tors still lives in us, an appreci-
alton of nature and pride in our
ability to get along "roughing it"
So until another time of family
picnics we put away our baskets
and thermos jugs and live in
memory.

FROM THIS POINT

Some look at life from the point
of money, figuring the expense
angle and letting their neighbors
worry about the moral and ethical
branches. Society, as far as these
people are concerned, means what
they can make off of it or lose
by it. So if they will regard the
cost of killing and add their
strength to that of the humani-
tarians who view battle in the
cost of lives we might put a stop
to war. When Julius Caesar went
forth to conquer the wars were
fought crudely and by the strength
of man and the awkardness of his
enemy. The experts tell us it
cost rs cents to kill one soldier.
Time marched on and mechanical
was as the World War I made kill
ing one soldier cost 81 thousand
dollars. Today it costs SO thous-
and dollars for each dead soldier
and proving that war, to the
man who deals in money alone, is
too expensive to be pampered.
Caesar could have owned the
world on just what one of our
battles costs us.

BACK TO SCHOOL

There goes into the education
of our young people, time, effort
and money, and it comes from all
of us. Students returning to the
classrooms all over our country
will not fail to take advantage
of this opportunity if they look at
education in the light of time,
effort and money. We are en-
gagged in war and our schools will
notice a differencesin enrolment,
in reduced faculties, in limited
running expenses. Schools will
probably lay special stress on sub
jects of government dealing with
civics, principally. Economy will
be enlarged upon, the. manage
ment in production, distribution
and consumption of goods, social
and political and home economics
all important enough to every
one of us. History should be
practically a required subject and
taught with the facts, not to build
up our democracy through any,
thing but the truth, for it is the
truth in history that will make all
alive to the present and how to
clear for the future.

1t is the theory of the writer
that the town can be best built up
by the practice of its citizens of
trading at home. In fact it is the
only way in which a town can
be built. If we send our dollars
or spend our dollars in the big
town down the road we are going
to build the big town bigger and
rob our own town of the support
it needs. Merchants in the small
towns are having difficult time
these days to keep things going.
They need all the business of the
community if they are to survive.
Whether the merchants of the
home town come out of the war
strong and able to go on depends
on whether they receive the bust
ness of the community now. It
doesn't help much to talk COM
munity pride, and stand on the
side lines and cheer those who are
trying to get the. job done, under
trying circumstances, if at the
same time. we spend our money
with the big town down the road.
We give our own town lip service
and the big town our real help.
