I crir ItE4L.A.&) Patriotism We have just passed through a period of holidays that were designed to stimulate pa- triotism and loyalty, Memorial Day, May 30; Flag Day, June 14, and Independence Day, July 4. Each of these days has its significance. The Declaration of Independence, by which the United States became a separate and distinct nation, was signed July 4, 1776. The first American flag was adopted by Congress on June 14, 1777. Memorial Day was set apart to commemorate those soldiers of the Civil War who sacrificed their lives that the country might stand undivided. It has assumed broader aspects, because soldiers of other wars and civilians, too, are honored on that day. Anything that is designed to inspire devo- tion and loyalty to the nation and its institu- tions must command respect. 1 ( '1111 v■vilitt !MIL 4.N.N.XNW Nycs,.■■■•■■■ . _ ViNVAVOIII Vol. XV II JUNE, 1936 No. 6 imagination.

For their new fans to gloat about, the renamed Minnesota Twins brought with them three pennants won in Washington, in 1924, '25 and '33, and a world championship in 1924. Now, their new boosters could claim a share of such Senator greats as Clark C. (Old Fox) Griffith, Wolter (Big Train) Johnson, Joe Cronin, Lean (Goose) Goslin, Clyde (Deerfoot) Milan, Ed Delahanty, James (Mickey) Vernon, Roy Sievers, and others. Reciprocally, the Twins could now absorb the glories of 18 American Asso- ciation pennants - nine won by St. Paul and nine by Minneapolis - in 59 seasons. They could be reminded of the tremendous pennant burst by St. Paul in 1920, with the Saints winning 115, losing only 49, posting a .701 percentage, and running away from Joe McCarthy's second-place Louisville Colonels by 28 1/2 games. Mike Kelley, the American Association's grand old man, managed that one and four other Saints flag winners before buying the Minneapolis club and putting together three more championship combinations. The pattern for winning boll in St. Paul was set early, in the first year of minor league ball, in fact.
