Spalding's official base ball guide, 1939 http://www.loc.gov/resource/spalding.00179 Library of Congress 1004. 10 Spalding Official Base Ball Guidet McGraw was a dominant figure of the national game. In Truxton he got his start in the national pastime and there the population of 400 persons think - of McGraw as base ball itself. And so to honor the man who made truxton rank with Cooperstown and ~!.? - other base ball shrines, came the New York Giants with Manager Terry and other famous players who are now standard bearers of the McGraw tradition :; in the Polo Grounds. In all there were fifteen players in the Giants team. Also came Mrs. McGraw, widow of the famous manager; Horace C. Stoneham, young president of the Giants; Edward T. Brannick, popular secretary of the club: Lieut.- Gov. M. William Bray and a throng of other ardent admirers from Central New York. According to Chairman Wilfred E. Hoffman of the executive committee in charge of the memorial activities, 7,650 persons jammed the sandlot on the banks of the Tioughnioga to see the Giants defeat the determined but inex- perienced Truxton All-Stars, 8 to 1, in the feature event on the program. It was the largest crowd ever to gather in one place in Truxton township. It swelled out on bleachers lent by Syracuse and Cornell universities from home plate to center field on both sides. It jammed the small grand stand behind home plate and overflowed to the small concrete bridge over which one could go to see the field where McGraw played his first base ball. The Giants arrived in Ithaca by train in the forenoon and, accompanied by Wilfred Hoffman, Edmund Hoffman and William McCarthy, the welcoming com- mittee, drove to Truxton in the school bus. At the Giant bench also was Henry Fabian, famed groundkeeper of the Polo Grounds and the oldest such jobholder in either the National or American Leagues. Fabian had at one time played on a team with John McGraw, and is the accepted authority on all matters connected with his profession. Around Lieut. J. P. Ronan and Sgt. Charles Curtin.g At 2:15 St. Mary's band of Cortland played the national anthem, after which a half minute silence in memory of Manager McGraw was observed. Bob! Kenefick Jr. of Syracuse read a poem, "John J. McGraw Comes Home," written by Joseph Adams, Syracuse Post-Standard columnist, which ended with the ,- words: words: "And so these hills eternally shall claim The son Spalding's official base ball guide, 1939 http://www.loc.gov/resource/spalding.00179 Library of Congress they spawned for Destiny and Fame." A brief tribute then was paid the late Giant manager by George (Hooks) iltse of Syracuse. who won twelve straight games while pitching for the Giants in 1904, Mr. Wiltse umpired the memorial game on the bases with Bill Dinneen of Syracuse, retired big league umpire, at the plate. .Proceeds of the game will go toward a McGraw memorial in his native town.

MAJUK GIENEKAL ABNER DOUBLEDAY, Inventor of Base Ball. Base Ball's First Century - . a Spalding Official Base Ball Guide 13 - .... e-* * * . .... j" BY JOHN B. FOSTER. The year 1939 marks the centennial of the game which was invented and christened by General Abner Doubleday. Base ball made its debut at Coopers- town, N.Y., a village which, from the very nature of its surroundings, may never grow to any appreciable size in the number of its inhabitants, although it has grown considerably since that first game was played. Abner Doubleday was not a general then; in fact, he was not even an officer. A hundred years ago he was a student at an academy in Cooperstown. : I< ri Some historians who were sufficiently interested to investigate the origin of base ball think it must have developed by stages from that most interesting : and deiightful game played by boys, known as "one old cat." One old cat was played a century ago-and more.

Ainsworth, Stanley Bach, Richard A. Baker, Ryan Bakker, Richard S. Beth, Sarah A. Binder, Jamie L. Carson, Michael H. Crespin, Keith L. Dougherty, Trey Hood, Scott C. James, Andrew D. Martin, Ryan J.

Madonna also thanks the University of Georgia American Political Development working group for support and comments, and Rachel Snyder for helpful research assistance. All errors remain the authors. Abstract The constitutional placement of the vice president as the president of the Senate is a unique feature of the chamber. It places control over the Senate's rules and precedents under an individual who is not elected by the chamber and receives no direct benefits from the maintenance of its institutions. We argue that this feature has played an important role in the Senate's development. The vice president has frequently acted in a manner that conflicted with the wishes of chamber majorities. Consequently, senators have been reluctant to allow cham- ber power to be centralized under their largely unaccountable presiding officer. This fear has prevented the Senate from allowing its chair to reduce dilatory action, as the House has done. Accordingly, delay via the filibuster, has become commonplace in the Senate. Such delay has reduced the Senate's efficiency, but has largely freed it from the potential influence of the executive branch.

  • Al Brancato This Article Was Written by David E
    Al Brancato This article was written by David E. Skelton The fractured skull Philadelphia Athletics shortstop Skeeter Newsome suffered on April 9, 1938 left a gaping hole in the club’s defense. Ten players, including Newsome after he recovered, attempted to fill the void through the 1939 season. One was Al Brancato, a 20- year-old September call-up from Class-A ball who had never played shortstop professionally. Enticed by the youngster’s cannon right arm, Athletics manager Connie Mack moved him from third base to short in 1940. On June 21, after watching Brancato retire Chicago White Sox great Luke Appling on a hard-hit grounder, Mack exclaimed, “There’s no telling how good that boy is going to be.”1 Though no one in the organization expected the diminutive (5-feet-nine and 188 pounds) Philadelphia native’s offense to cause fans to forget former Athletics infield greats Home Run Baker or Eddie Collins, the club was satisfied that Brancato could fill in defensively. “You keep on fielding the way you are and I’ll do the worrying about your hitting,” Mack told Brancato in May 1941.2 Ironically, the youngster’s defensive skills would fail him before the season ended. In September, as the club spiraled to its eighth straight losing season, “baseball’s grand old gentleman” lashed out. “The infielders—[Benny] McCoy, Brancato and [Pete] Suder—are terrible,” Mack grumbled. “They have hit bottom. Suder is so slow it is painful to watch him; Brancato is erratic and McCoy is—oh, he’s just McCoy, that’s all.” 3 After the season ended Brancato enlisted in the US Navy following the country’s entry into the Second World War.

  • Christy Mathewson Was a Great Pitcher, a Great Competitor and a Great Soul
    “Christy Mathewson was a great pitcher, a great competitor and a great soul. Both in spirit and in inspiration he was greater than his game. For he was something more than a great pitcher. He was The West Ranch High School Baseball and Theatre Programs one of those rare characters who appealed to millions through a in association with The Mathewson Foundation magnetic personality attached to clean honesty and undying loyalty present to a cause.” — Grantland Rice, sportswriter and friend “We need real heroes, heroes of the heart that we can emulate. Eddie Frierson We need the heroes in ourselves. I believe that is what this show you’ve come to see is all about. In Christy Mathewson’s words, in “Give your friends names they can live up to. Throw your BEST pitches in the ‘pinch.’ Be humble, and gentle, and kind.” Matty is a much-needed force today, and I believe we are lucky to have had him. I hope you will want to come back. I do. And I continue to reap the spirit of Christy Mathewson.” “MATTY” — Kerrigan Mahan, Director of “MATTY” “A lively visit with a fascinating man ... A perfect pitch! Pure virtuosity!” — Clive Barnes, NEW YORK POST “A magnificent trip back in time!” — Keith Olbermann, FOX SPORTS “You’ll be amazed at Matty, his contemporaries, and the dramatic baseball events of their time.” — Bob Costas, NBC SPORTS “One of the year’s ten best plays!” — NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO “Catches the spirit of the times -- which includes, of course, the present -- with great spirit and theatricality!” -– Ira Berkow, NEW YORK TIMES “Remarkable!

    ~CityWatch' is CTA System Bonus By Jeff Stern Chicago has an extra public service asset that reaches beyond transit, although transit is the reason it exists. You might call it a "round-the-clock com- munity alarm system" extending to every street and right-of-way that a CTA bus or train travels. "Alerts" are frequent as CTA bus operators and motormen get on the radiophone to report incidents on their routes which may warrant an emergency re- sponse from other city agencies. While "lookout" duty is not prescribed in the oper- ating rulebook, it is exercised continuously, demon- strating the outstanding sense of community responsi- bility that the CTA "volunteers" possess. The CTA Control Center in the Merchandise Mart has direct flip-a-switch contact with police and fire de- partments, city and state highway authorities and other service agencies. Alerts can be relayed to them almost instantaneously, giving extra assurance to citizens that help will come quickly when they need it. Recently, an operator on Lake Shore Drive called the Control Center to report that a plane approaching Meigs Field had fallen into Lake Michigan. It turned out that this was the first call to be relayed to the fire department about this accident. In another demonstration of concern, the operator of a 67th Street bus saw a woman who was trying to cross the street get hit by a truck. He immediately called the Control Center to send a fire ambulance to the scene. (Continued Page 2) Here's how C'TA's additional community service works.
