GALESBURG REMEMBERS
There are plenty of towns in the United States which are
ready to welcome home the conquering hero with rousing
cheers, a grand parade and oratorical honors.
But Galesburg, III, is a different kind of a town. It has
prepared an elalwrate reception for the home-town boy who
is no longer making good, who is a down-arid-outer.
It is the old home-town of Grover Cleveland Alexander and
has sent him word that it wants him buck. This former
hero of the diamond is invited home to capitalize on his' old
achievements, not to give the city an opportunity to capitalize
on his fame.
An outstanding pitcher star in the big leagues for two
decades, Grover has been given an unconditional release
from the Dallas, Texas, ball club, which means the very last
word in the last chapter of a baseball career. But Galesburg
wants him back in spite of it all.
: This Illinois town deserves credit for a kindly impulse, and
the spirit shown may have had something to do with, the
fact that a few years ago Galesburg was selected as an out
standing city in which to live. Its action must have trans
; ported the, worn-out moundsman back to the days of his
' greatest conquests and national acclaim. Jle iCan go back
;. home knowing that to. the home folks he ;is still, thp greatest
pitcher organized, baseball ever produced. " And dalesburg
will say to. the. orld that, but for the ravages of time he
would still be the bane of the home-run hitters. ;
' PREDICTING EARTHQUAKES; ; , J
'The fact that America was alarmed for the safety of its
citizens who were touring in Italy, did not make us, 'as a
..nation, unforgetful of the suffering and tragedy which
-came to Southern Italy by reason of the recent earthquake.
. Destruction -wrought by this' quake may" noTbc as extcii
?sive as those of similar convulsions in that country in the
ipast, but no disturbance that takes upwards of 3,000 lives,
'injures thousands more and destroys whole towns can be
considered small.
While the Italian authorities have served notice that no
outside aid will be needed, there will be no lack of apprecia
tion of the fact that it would bo promptly given if required.
These catastrophes leave nothing for hunmnity to do but to
comfort the bereaved and shelter and feed the homeless and
destitute.
Science cannot hope to find a way to prevent earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions, but it is progressing toward the time
when it will be able to predict the hour and place when these
upheavals may be expected, and this would have the effect
of eliminating unexpectedness and would result in saving
countless lives and greatly reduce the property damage.
FUTILE
"Ye sticks, ye stones, ye blocks, ye worse than senseless
things," is the language of a writer of many years ago.
It should be evident to endurance fans that nothing with
out a purpose partakes at all of glory. The mere ability to
stay put is a wholly negative attribute and peculiar to empty
vessels in the cupboard and to useless oddities of furniture.
Endurance to stand stress and strain is a commendable
quality in useful material and machinery. In the realm of
sport, overtaxation of one's physical resources may be .sui
cide. Too often it is. There is no more intelligence in that
than there is in the practice of Oriental beggars who hold
their limbs in unnatural positions until they atrophv.
Pole-sitting find tree-sitting are cheap subterfuges'" for
stealing public attention. They are not to be compared with
the pedestrian feats of Weston or the submarine endurance
tricks of Iloudini.
Let those who belong to this new crowd of endurance
maniacs convince themselves of the uselessness of their pur
suits by asking the opinion of the first ten business men
they meet.
In Brooklyn recently a test was made in the public schools
to ascertain what the six year old children desired most to
know in the realms of truth or fancy. Naturally we would
think the answer would be "fairies, pirates or hidden treas
ures." But, no, these children wanted to know about the
lives of (1st) Lindbergh. (2nd) Lincoln. (;lrd) Washington.
Mischief is what causes dimples, says one woman writer.
And all the time we have been thinking that it's dimples
that cause mischief.
