monial dinner. In reply, he said,

Bud Wilkinson, whose Okla
homa team this year was voted
No. l in the Associated Press poll,
gave Leahy additional compensa-
ton. The Oklahoma coach told
the gathering the Sooners' success
of the last two years was due
greatly to advice Wilkinson re-
ceived from Leahy.
The same AP sports editors who
voted the Sooners this years sue
cessorS to Notre Dame as national
champions also voted the Irish

job Leahy and his staff did with
material on hand last season and
added ito the weak of heart, I
say, keep your eye on the Notre

ceived plaudlts from rival college

tor Ralph Young of Michigan
State both praised the Notre
Dame spirit.

team spirit, which was miscon-
strued by several young pitchers,
probably played an important part
in the Red Sox decision to sell
Catcher Birdie Tebbetts to the
Cleveland Indians.
It is no secret that while the
Red Sox were making their be-
lated and futile pennant drive
last September, several Of the
clubs hurlers had advised Man
ager Steve O'Neill they were I'M
willing to pitch to Tebbetts, the
teams top-ranking receiver.
A veteran who played strictly
to win. Tebbetts aroused the ire
of a few youngsters while trying
to teach them to correct their
mistakes. They objected to his
Impotence.
More experienced pitchers COM
planned that Tebbetts. in tight
places. generally called for a fast
ball, and they were in tight spots
much Of the time.
Called Pitchers Malcontents.
The night before the season
ended, with the Red Sox missing
another pennant by an eye1ash,
Tebbetts described some of the
clubs pitchers as Juvenile delin-
quents and moronic malcontents. -
That crack. uttered in O'Neill's
presence, was Tebbett's Red Sox
valedictory. 1t can be taken for
granted that O'Neill, although
his relations with Tebbetts. both
in Boston and Detroit, had been
amicable, decided that only Bir-
dies departure would restore har-
mony among the pitchers.
II kind of expected something
like this" Tebbetts said after
learning he had been sold to the
Indians. But I don't know why
I was sold or what is behind it,

any manager and O'Neill is still

There is some doubt as to whether
Captain John Smith, in his eXplOra-
tiOn Of the PatawOmek in 1908, ac-
tually got SO far up stream as to
reach the present site of George
town. There is no doubt that an
other Englishman named Henry Fleet
did reach this far and even q little
farther some few years later. Fleet
made friends with an Indian tribe
at Piscataway Greek I5 miles below
Washington and lived with them for
number Of years.
When Leonard Calvert was seeking
place for settlement of his Mary
land Colony. he sailed up the river
March 81, 1884, as far as Piscat-
away. Here Fleet introduced him to
the Emperor Of the Piscataway,
who gave him permission to settle
wherever he chose on those shores.
Henry Fleet then returned with CAL
vert and guided him to his future
seat Of government at St. Mary's.
About this time Henry Fleet de-
scribed journey up the river for the
purpose Of trading furs with the
Indians, stating that they set sail
for the town Of Tahoga where they
came to anchor . few leagues short
of the falls.
This little Indian village Tahoga
must be REGARDED as the predecessor
Of later settlement Of whites which
came to be known as Georgetown.
Many sturdy and enterprising Scots
settled here-so many in fact that

as 'little Scotland"
