ENGLISH CATHEDRAL SCEfiC
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL SERVICE
(Continnad from first pags)
lost a dear beloved friend—as he had.
‘‘Following Cburcblll came hundreds
<of dignatarles in full robed, the ma
jority wearing wigs. Then came the
Archbishop of Canterbury, a tmly re
gal figure in his Episcopal robes.
“Again the great mass of people
stood up—we had been sitting down
after Ambassador Winant had seated
himself. This time it was the Royal
Family. The Queen of England Is
quite the loveliest woman I ever saw
in my life. She radiates charm and
as she waikad down the aisle she nod
ded smilingly to right and left. The
King was with her and be looked very
much of a man in his regimentals. He
was quite tanned and a really hand
some chap. Then came Princes Eais-
abeth who wore her lieutenant’s uni
form.
‘‘Following the English royal group
came King Haakon of Norway, tbs
King of Greece, Qneen Wilhelmina,
Princess Juliana. Prince Bernard, the
Preeident of Poland, Duchecs of Kent
and Lady Mountbatten. U was "moet
colorful, all of tbe men being in
dress uniforms.
"The service was most impressive
and bad been so well plahned. I
don't think I ever thrfUsd to Ameri
can patriotism as I did when the huge
choir sang ‘‘The Battle Hymn of the
Republic.” Myself and my buddies
felt the tears course dowo our cheeks
ss we heard the words 'As be died
to make men holy, let xu die tojagke
men free, while God la marching on.’
And then the ponderous chorus ot
choir and mutitude Joining in with
'Glory, Glory. Hallejulah.’ Words can
not express the wonder and gl(H7 of
it alL We thrilled In.the thought we
were Americana.
“Mr. Winant went to the lectern
and rMd the lesson. Then followed
the sounding of the buglers of tbe
Royal Matinee who sounded The Last
Post and Revelllee. Ths itptes were
picked up and echoed and re-echoed
throughout tbe vast Cathedral and uo
into the lofty dome. It was hannting-
ly beautiful.
“Then they sang ‘God Save the
King* and ‘The Star Spangled Ban
ner.’ That ended Ae serviee and
tbe thonaanda started to leave the
church but only after the Royal fami
ly had first departed.
“As we came out of the Cathedral
it seemed as if all the church bells
In London were Bounding. Crowds
such as I had never seen before were
Jammed in the streets as far as one
couM^see. It was a spectacle un-
paralled In brilliance from anything
I have ever seen or ever hope to see.
“Tbe people of England are won
derful. They virtually turned over
their homes to ns. We might Just as
well have been their sons. And this
Is true of every American who has
been in England. That they were
able to do anything at all is a miracle
for they have been hard-pressed.
They are without a doubt the bravest
people I have ever heard of. As the
Yanks all say ‘They have real guts.’
Ybu people in the States haven’t any
idea ot what the English went through
during the years the Germans were
showering them with bombs. How
they were able to keep up no one
can say. They really were super
people.
“And noW they are turning all their
efforts, their energy and their brilli-'
ance aa fighters toward aiding us in
defeating Japan. They’re real peo
ple—those English.*’ ,

Johnny was one of those lads who
pitched with his mouth open—the
adenoid type. We watched Johnny
In practice and in spring training
games and we couldn’t see tbe boy

And what we opined at that time
has been proven since. Johnny has
been a bust—the worst kind of a bust.
He has gone from team to team and
