It is a desk on which are the reflections of that age; an appointment book with its consciousness of the value of time, letters from important people and little people; and between the book-ends some of the most brutal and frantic aspects of modern civilization. But the problems pass over the desk, and behind it sits a man who faces them bravely— for in the background hangs a picture of Christ. By his soft-spoken words, by his quiet influence, Dr. Kretzmann sets for our campus the tone of spirituality and Christian comradeship. His philosophy of life—that man must live in con­ scious fellowship with God—imparts purpose and meaning to each life which here comes under his penetrating influence. 20 cJhe {Jooard 1st Row—P. F.

    PLATT FAMILY RECORDS CENTER NOTES Volume 3.1 compiled by Lyman D. Platt, Ph.D. Platt Family Records Center The Redwoods, New Harmony, Utah 2008 2 The Platt Family Records Center Copyright © 2008 The Lyman D. Platt Family Protection Trust All Rights Reserved Manufactured in the U.S.A. 3 INTRODUCTION Over many years the collections that comprise the Platt Family Records Center (PFRC) have been gathered from a diversity of sources and locations. These have been cataloged as they have been received, or in the order that they were initially organized. It was not felt in preparing this final version that a re-cataloging was necessary due to the versatility of the indexing systems used. There are twelve divisions to the PFRC: 1) Documents; 2) Letters; 3) Notes; 4) Family Histories; 5) Journals & Diaries; 6) Manuscripts; 7) Photographs; 8) Maps; 9) Books; 10) Genealogies; 11) Bibliography; and 12) Indexes. The collection that follows - Notes - is divided into several volumes, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc. These notes do not contain all of the material that I have collected, but they are a compilation of much of it. Some information went directly into histories, family group records, pedigree charts and short biographies. Copies of these volumes have been given to: 1) Special Collections, Marriott Library, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah; 2) The Church Historical Library, Salt Lake City, Utah; 3) Special Collections, Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah; and 4) The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum, Salt Lake City, Utah. Additional copies have been given to each of my siblings and to some of our children.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2018 HOUSTON'S DOMINANCE ON THE MOUND On Memorial Day against the New York Yankees, All-Star starting pitcher Justin Verlander delivered 6.2 innings of one-run ball to lead Houston to a 5-1 victory. Monday's team pitching performance was the 36th outing this season in which the Astros limited the oppositioin to two earned runs- or-fewer, and the 23rd contest that Houston surrendered one earned run- or-fewer. Playing in their 57th game of the season last night, this year's Astros Club is just the 10th team in Baseball to limit opposing Clubs to two earned runs-or-fewer in at least 35 of its team's fi rst 57 games, since 1930. The Club is the fi rst to accomplish the feat since the 1972 Baltimore Orioles, who were led by Hall of Famer Jim Palmer. As seen from the detailed chart below, the 2018 Astros logged the most strikeouts (363) of any Club, while also limiting the opposition to the fewest hits (192). Having limited opponents to one earned run-or-fewer in 23 contests thus far this season, this year's Astros Club is the 20th in the Majors since 1940, and the fi rst since the 1989 San Francisco Giants, to post at least 23 such games in its fi rst 57 contests. The 1968 Cleveland Indians hold the Major League record since 1940, logging 28 such outings. Entering play today, three Astros starting pitchers rank in the top-four in ERA among qualifed AL hurlers.

These are REAL statistics! Year At-bats Total Bases Slugging Percentage 1919 432 284 .657 1920 458 388 1921 540 457 1922 406 273 1923 522 399 1924 529 391 1925 359 195 Unlike batting average, slugging percentage measures the quality of hits a batter gets. If a batter hits a lot of doubles, triples, and home runs, he or she will have a high slugging percentage. Slugging percentage is calculated by dividing the total number of at-bats by total bases. For example, in the year 1919, Babe Ruth had a slugging percentage of .657. I got this by dividing the total bases for 1919 (284) by the at-bats for 1919 (432). The answer I got was 0.65740741. I rounded it to the nearest thousandth to get .657. In general, a slugging percentage that is .500 or more is considered a good slugging percentage. Fill in the slugging percentage cell for each year. Ask your teacher whether or not you can use a calculator. Make sure you correctly round to the nearest thousandth.

  • BABE RUTH Reading Comprehension
    BABE RUTH Reading Comprehension George Herman, "Babe Ruth", was born February 6, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. His parents owned a saloon near the current site of Camden Yards in Baltimore. They were of German descent and taught him to speak German fluently. George was actually somewhat of a petty criminal as a young boy. By age seven he was already involved in drinking alcohol and chewing tobacco. Because he was too difficult for his parents to control, George was sent away to a Catholic school. It was here where Brother Matthias taught him baseball. As a teenager, George became the team's catcher and then pitcher. At the age of 19, Jack Dunn, a scout for the Orioles, discovered George's baseball talents and promptly signed him to a contract. After performing well as a pitcher and a batter for the Orioles during spring training, George made the team. Because he was such a young talent, he earned the nickname "Babe." On April 22, 1914, Babe pitched a shutout against the Buffalo Bisons in his Major League debut. Because the Orioles were in poor financial shape, Jack Dunn was forced to sell off his best players. Babe was sold to the Boston Red Sox in 1914 for an amount between $20,000 and $35,000. After pitching for the Red Sox minor league club in Providence, Rhode Island, Babe was called up to the Majors permanently toward the end of the 1914 baseball season. After the season, he married Helen Woodford. In 1915, Babe secured a spot in the Red Sox starting pitching rotation.

  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball. Photos between approximately 7 x 8 ½ to 14 x 11 ½ inches, all very good to near fine. 1946-1948 AAGBL Racine Belles Photographic History of Team & League 121 original photographs approximately between 2.5 x 3.5 inches and 3.5 x 5 inches.
