Roy Sievers “A Hero May Die, but His Memory Lives On” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com by BILL HASS I Had Missed It in the Sports Section and on the Internet
Roy Sievers “A Hero may die, but his memory lives on” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By BILL HASS I had missed it in the sports section and on the internet. A friend of my mentioned it to me and sent me a link to the story. On April 3 – ironically, right at the start of the 2017 baseball season – Roy Sievers died at age 90. I felt a pang of deep sadness. After all, no matter how old you get, the little kid in you expects your heroes to live for- ever. As the years passed and I didn’t see any kind of obitu- ary on Sievers, I thought perhaps he might actually do that. I knew better, of course. Sometimes reality has a way of intruding on your impossible dreams, and maybe it’s just as well. I have never been much for having heroes.

I rooted for the Washington Senators (known to their fans as the “Nats”), to whom the adjective “downtrod- den” was constantly applied, if not invented. Prior to the 1954 season, the Nats obtained Sievers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St. -

Baseball Day Two Oct 1, 2009 775
766. Wyatt Earp 1870 Signed Subpoena Resourceful, to say the very least, Wyatt Earp wore the hat of farmer, buffalo hunter, miner and boxing referee (among other endeavors) long before embrac- ing his role at the O.K. Corral. The offered display is an incredibly scarce “Wild West” find: a legal docu- ment signed by Earp. To begin with, Earp’s penning is among the most rare of men of his ilk. Sweetening the pot further is the fact that this bold signature was exe- cuted in a lawman’s capacity. All of 21 years old with volumes of lawless activity still years ahead, Earp, acting as the Barton County, Missouri local constable, penned this subpoena to be served to one Mr. Thomas G. Harvey, informing said party that he would have to testify within a fortnight in the case of Missouri vs. Thomas Brown. Arranged in a handsome 25-3/4 x 17- 1/2” wooden frame, the 7-3/4 x 4-3/4” original docu- ment (shown on the reverse, penned entirely in Earp’s hand) is displayed below a photocopy of the front so that both sides can be viewed simultaneously. On the reverse, Earp has inscribed: “I have served the within summons upon the within named Thomas G. Harvey by reading the same to him this Feb 28, 1870 - W.S. Earp, Const.” The black-ink fountain pen content is crisply executed with Earp’s endorsement projecting (“9-10”) quality. The piece is affected by a small tear at the far left, (3) tiny slashes near the upper portion and a horizontal compacting fold. -

Six Group B-17s aborted the mission: F #42-29894 Baltimore Bounce 359BS (Clifford) - The 427BS crew transferred to a spare aircraft and the pilot didn't have an oxygen mask. #42-5854 Alley Oop 360BS (Cogswell) and #42-5177 Fast Worker MK II 359BS (Hanselman) - The pilots thought they were short on gas. #42-5788 A.O.G.

The lead bombardier, 1Lt. Byron K. Butt, overshot the IP when industrial haze and smoke made it difficult to observe. After several right turns they were back on the bomb run course. Bombs were dropped using the bombsight after a 25-second bomb run. The fifteen remaining Group aircraft dropped 1,000-lb. bombs plus M47A1 incendiary bombs from 23,500 feet. Four aircraft also carried leaflets. The formation was escorted part of the way into enemy territory by P-47 fighters. However, for the roughest part of the trip–into Germany proper–the bombers flew unescorted. -
