By NBA Service -
Tho "father of his country" frankly despaired of the turbulent political condition of the
United States In the years Immediately following -the close of the revolution.
"Something must be done or the fabric will fall, for It Is certainly tottering," he declared.
Ho was kept hard at work recouping his personal losses suffered during the war, partly
through neglect of his estates and also because of a depreciation of paper money which
cost him. $30,000. However, he found time to repeatedly write to prominent men urging
that steps be taken to form an Indissoluble union. These letters aided greatly in massing
sontlment for a stronger and sounder government.
Tho rebellion of Daniel Shays and his army of 2000 farmers In Massachusetts with the
resultant destruction of property, led Washington to decide that radical roform was necessary.
necessary
Washington was chosen- one of Virginia's five delegates to the constitutional convention.
which opened May 13, 1787, In Philadelphia, to "render the federal constitution adequate
to the exigencies of the union."
He was unanimously chosen-to preside over the convention and his Influence did as
much, if not more, than any other force in bringing the delegates to an agreement and to
obtals ratification of the constitution
The electors choserr' in. 1789!, were unanimous in thoi ft choice of Washington as first
president of the United- States. He demurred at first, distrusting his own abilities, but
finally accepted. He received congressional notification of the honor of April 16, 1789.

In. the national boxing association
light heavyweight elimination tourn
ament, resulted in an upset vlotory
for George Nichols, a stiff punching
southpaw, from Buffalo, N. Y over
Billy Jones, Philadelphia negro. Jones
was a top heavy favorite to reach the
final of the tournament, but was
knocked down twice for nine-counts

Talk about Boston Braves' new
comers and Art Shires immediately
comes to mind but the Braves picked
up at least one other youngster they
think will add aa much, If not more,
punch than the great man himself.
He is Oscar Eckhardt, a big out
fielder purchased from the San Fran
cisco Missions of the Pacific Coast
league. Bom in Yorktown, Texas,
In 1004, Eckhardt played ball at
Texas university and they with
Amartllo in 1028.. He batted .367 that
year and .364 with Seattle of the
Coast league in 1020. Back In tho
Texas league with Beaumont in 1030
he amassed an average of .370. That
took him, back to the Coast league
with the Missions and, he responded
with a mark of .369. If ho can come
within 40 points of that average with
tho Braves he'll be plenty useful.
