Those old-timers may gaze
with some mystification on the
present Senators, currently
nestled In seventh place despite
smashing SO home runs. The
Senators Of 1888 won the pen
nant by hitting no more than
so homers. matching the per-
sonal production Of Babe Ruth
six years earlier.
They set no records for dis
lance, but they were consistent,
Manush with a 1888 batting av-
erage, led the league with 22l
hits and with II triples. Kuhel
batted 1872, Cronin 300 and
Myer 1902. Cronin thumped
across ll8 runs. Russell ap-
peared in so games as a relief
specialist and compiled a 1876
record with a 1888 earned run
average. The team led the
league in batting and fielding
Four members of that club
went on to become major league
managers. Cronin went from
the Senators to pilot the Red
Sox, later became their general
manager, then was elected to
the leagues highest Office. Sc
we'll managed the Browns and
Reds, while Bluege and Kuhel
directed the Senators.
They'll recall with sadness
the passing of Earl Whitehill
several years ago from injuries
received in an automobile acct
dent. 1t was Whitehill who won
% games in 1888, losing only
eight. And it was fiery Earl
who stepped into the dining
car after the team had lost the
first two games of the World
Series to the Giants, berated
his teammates for their gloomy
department. and told them he'd
win the next day. He did, too,
for their only victory in the
Series.
- =. -
1t will be an afternoon OF
fun at the ball park. regardless
of the outcome OF the game
with the White Sox. There will
be a Ginning game II enough
fit old-timers can be assem-
bled. However. it will be enough
for most fans to roar a welcome
to the now gray, bald and fat
figures who wrote the last proud
chapter in the Senators his
tory.
They'll get together and re-
lax at the Woodner later. Cal

1871. The sculptor. FredericI
Auguste Bartholdi. came TO the
United States In that year 10
whip up public sentiment to
raise funds for the giant ma
tional monument. Before his
trip, he wanted to place the
statue on Governors Island.
After seeing the location. he
switched to BedIoe's Island so
that New Workers would be able |
10 get q better view Of the work.
A New York newspaper writer
whimsically suggested the
statue be placed on the Battery
because the thousands Of per-
sons who would be anxious to
write their names In pencil on
its legs would dislike the trou-
BILE Of being compelled to hire
a small boat in order to reach
it,"
Bartholdi retained Gustav
Eiffel, who later built Paris
Eiffel Tower, to design the
framework. Work went slowly,
accompanied always with the
problem Of money, until the
completed work was officially
presented to the American AM
bassador in Paris, July 4. 1884
The pedestal was completed
later.
"Give me your tired, your
poor, your huddled masses
yearning to be free.
"The wretched refuse Of your
Iteeming shore, Send these, the

II lift my lamp beside the

The oft-quoted verse in the
statues pedestal was written by
q Jewish poet. Emma. Lazarus.
Ito help raise money to finish
the pedestal.

have visited the island to see
the statue and countless mil

Moss on Trees

You may have noticed large
amounts of moss growing on
tree trunks this winter. The
moss is more noticeable in win
ter than in the summer, and
there is probably more this
year because of the moist
weather last summer. Moss,
which includes a complex of
lichens and algae, grows on
the north side of tree trunks.
Experts say that moss does
the tree no harm, growing
only on the outer bark. Moss
indicates clean air, and it does
not thrive on trees where
smog, smoke and exhaust
fumes are prevalent.

Spade the Garden

Watch for a good day to spade
the garden. This can usually
be done in late February or
early March. Be sure not to
work the soil when it is too
moist, however, as this could
harm the soil structure for
the entire season. Most gar
den soils can use some good
healthy organic matter every
year. If you can obtain some
compost, or other or

Does anyone know if the
live oak, Quercus virginiana,
will live this far north?
There are groves of live oaks
in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach
area, and at least two that !
know of are in the grounds of
the Governors Palace in Will
liamsburg. I believe there is
also one growing in the yard
of st. Peters Church in Rich
mond.
According to Bailey, Wash
ington is the northern limit for
the tree. So, there must be a
few of them about. / want
to try them on The 40 Acres,
and if they will grow there,
perhaps we can have a live oak
grove.
The only trouble will be that
we can't hope to have the
hanging moss also. And a live
oak without hanging moss
would be only half a live oak.
