Quesada is evasive as to the

Federal Storage's 19-and-un-

day for the All-American ANA
teur Baseball Association tour
nament at Johnstown, Pain
q rut.
The Storagemen have been
in the Clark Griffith Memorial
league since 1947, and they
haven't been able to get out of
first place.
They clinched their 18th
consecutive championship last
Thursday and finished with a
14-2 record. This brings the
teams complete league record
to 230 victories and 81 losses,
percentage of 1882.
Not content with this, the
team also plays in the unlimit-
ed Industrial League and, in
GLIDING tournament and out
of-town games, has compiled a
record of 574-213 for a .729
percentage.
A record of this magnitude
is not obtained without out
standing players and an ex-
cellent coach. And on this
count, Federal Storage can
probably rank with many anna
teur teams in the country.
Steve Barber of the Orioles,
Craig Anderson of the Nets
and Billy Smith of the Phillies

they lack sufficient manpower
to field one. This is not a re-
Election on the farm director
and his staff, but on the owner
ship.
Raleigh, struggling deep in
the second division of the Class
B Carolina League, is COM
planning about the quality of
the players the Senators have
sent it.
The Washington club made a
reasonable effort to build a
farm system for this year with
a limited working agreement
with Syracuse of the Interna-
tional League, full working
agreements with Raleigh and
Pensacola, and outright owner
ship Of Middlesboro, KY, in the
Appalachian Rookie League.
But that's not nearly enough.
And from the small number of
young players signed to date,
the Senators are going to be
hard pressed to stock these
teams next year, assuming the
working agreements will be re-
newed.
The board members also
might be inquisitive about Que
sada's lack of harmony within
his own organization and in
his dealings with the press and

It's getting to the point where

Restless fans keep complain

could think of an excuse for a new society, he
organized it. One such society was the New
York Historical Society," which took the new
saint seriously and chose to celebrate ST.
Nicholas Day every December 6.
This is where Washington Irving steps into
the picture. He was young writer, satiriSt
who was amused by Mr.. Pintard and the other
pompOus members of the New-York Historical
Society. But then in 1909, he found himself
elected a member Of the society.
At the time, Mr. Irving was writing his
"Knickerbocker's New-York" In the book, he
spoofs Mr.. Pintard and the other members of
the society, and he introduces the new ST.
Nicholas. The book was deriSively dedicated
to the society and published on st. Nicholas
Day.
ST. Nicholas is first mentioned as a figure
head on the ship that carried the Dutch colo
niStS to New York He is equipped with low,
brOad-brimmed hat, huge pair of Flemish
trunk hose, and a pipe that reached to the end
of the bowsprit" St. Nicholas appears in a
vision to Oloffe the Dreamer and then at other
times throughout the book
Finally comes the good St: Nicholas, who
would often make his appearance in his be-
loved city, of holiday afternoon, riding jollily
amongst the tree-tOps, or over the roofs of the
houses, now and then drawing forth magnifi-
cent presents from his breeches pockets, and
dropping them down the chimneys of his
favOrteS."
In 1922, a minister named Clement Moore
took up Mr.. Irving's legend and wrote his
famous Visit of St. Nicholas" which begins,
"Twas the night before Christmas -" He bOr-
rowed much from Mr.. Irving, but also added
much, including the sleigh and the eight rein
deer.( Mr.. Moore also is responsible for moving
Christmas from December to December 25)

SANTA CLAUS: A NATIVE PRODUCT
BY CHARLES PUFFENBARCER

o ONE OF THE hearty no no hos we've been
- hearing all over Washington these days
could very well be the spirit of Washington
Irving laughing up his sleeve. You see, he's the
one who created the Santa Claus who will be
dropping by early Tuesday morning, bag full
of toys in hand.
Professor Charles w. Jones of the Univer-
sity of California has the last word on Santa.
He began study of the mythical origins of the
Santa we know the jolly old man in red suit
who is commonly believed to be related to the
crotchety, ascetic ST. Nicholas. But Professor
Jones came to an abrupt halt after delving only
$50 years into history, when he came to Mr..
Irving's "Knickerbockers New-York."
"Ours is not the European saint, but an
American commodity which we have exported
to the whole world" the professor prOclaims.
The early American settlers were religious
reformers, who left behind all their frivolous
customs and beliefs including the one about
the somewhat secular saint who Furnishes bad
children with switchingS, kidnapping or worse,
and rewards good children with all forms of
presents. They had their own ways to instil the
fear of God into their children.
It was left to the efree-thinking, mischievouS
minds of the pOStRevolutiOnary patriots to
create a new Santa for the New World.
Then, as now, people liked to form so
cieties in which they could exclude those not
of their own kind The colOnistS loyal to the
British formed a number of societies dedi
Gated to their favorite saints Andrew for the
Scots, David for the Welsh, Patrick for the
Irish and George for the English. The patriots
had plenty of societies of their own, but they
lacked native saints. So they made up one of
their own-St Tammany, from the Delaware
Indian chief
The idea caught on, and John Pintard, a
staunch patriot from New York. took it upon
himself to make Tammany the nations patron
saint. That left New York without saint of its
own, and for a reason known only to himself,
Mr. Pintard chose Nicholas.

Student Fees
Will Go Up
AtHowurd

Howard University today an
nounced it will raise student
fees an average of $45 per Sc
mester in September.
Comprehensive tuition for
the year will be 1910 in five
of the university's schools and
colleges: liberal arts. engineer
ing and architecture, phar-
macy, social work, dental hy-
giene, and drama and art.
Other annual fees will range
from $3.50 in the schools of law
and religion to $3.50 in the Col
lege of Medicine.
University Treasurer James
B. Clarke pointed out that the
move marked the first general
increase in student fees at
Howard in IL years. He added,
however. that tuition was
raised in the colleges of medi-
cine and dentistry during the
1856 school year.
Mr.. Clarke said that 1--WE
have made every effort to keep
the cost of education to the
student at Howard at a min
imum. However. the need for
expansion and improvement in
our library collections and serv-
ices, research activities in the
social sciences and the humani-
ties, supplies and equipment
and the scholarship fund has
made the forthcoming increase
necessary"
The announcement had beer
