Dr. Hahn Gives
Talk On Shifts
In Word Usage
Hunter College Professor
Declares Process An Old
One In Spite Of 'Purists'
Convincing evidence of the author-
ity of the process by which a word
usage shifts from one part of speech
to ,another appeared last evening in
the address on ancient Hittite "kwit-
man" given by Dr. E: Adelaide Hahn,,
professor of Latin and Greek at Hunt-
er College, before members of the Lin-
guistic Institute.
Despite protests of language "pur-
ists" that a word must not change
from. one part of speech t- another,
that, for example, "like" must not be-
come a conjunction because it is a
preposition, such changes occurred'
thousands of years before any "pur-
ists" began objecting. This fact was
apparent in Dr. Hahn's detailed an-
alysis of Hittite inscriptions which.
show how "kwitman" the adverb
giadually became used as a conjunc-
tion in independent clauses. That is,
its neaning changed with its shift of
function, from "meanwhile" or "for
some time" to both "while" and "un-
til.
Particular attention was placed by
the speaker upon the close parallel
with the Latin "dum" of similar
mi4ning, which, although there are
some exceptions to the general an-
alogy, nevertheless had a strikingly
timilar history of functional altera-
tion. This parallelism, and the im-
plicit one wtih analogous phenomena
in English, mode clear the strength
of this kind of process as a device of
language growth and efficiency.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. 5.-()-
Equipoise is dead and today horse-
men recalled the feats of the "ugly,
duckling" that came out of 0. V.
Whitney's second string to win ac-
claim as one of America's greatest
thoroughbreds.
Whitney thought so little of the
homely son of Pennant-Swinnging
as a yearling that he was turned over
to the stable's second-string trainer.

the outlook is bright," he said.

Adamick Right
To Fight Here
DETROIT, Aug. 5.-UP)-Jimmy
Adamick, young Midland heavyweight
boxer, was free tonight to ply his
trade in Michigan although he still
stood suspended in Illinois and the
28 states belonging to the National
Boxing Association.
At a regular meeting here today
the Michigan Athletic Board of Con-
trol (Boxing Commission) voted
unanimously not to concur in the re-
cent decision of the Illinois Athletic
Commission which suspended Ada-
mick; heavyweight Jack Trammell of
Akron, O.; Jack Kearns, Jimmy Brady
and Tom Walsh, all of Detroit, who
are associated in managing Adamick;
James Buchanan, manager of Tram-
mell, and promoter Jerry Lavan of
Chicago.
The action came after the Board
members had studied the transcript
of testimony taken at an Illinois
hearing following a bout in Chicago
in which Adamick was awarded a
knockout victory over Trammell.
The Michigan body voted to send a
copy of its ruling to the National
Boxing Association, of which it is a
member. The Board expressed the be-
lief that the N.B.A. should back its
action, threatening to withdraw if
the approval was not forthcoming.
Illinois is not an N.B.A. member.

Four-Hit Attack Brings Yankees
A6-1 Victory Over Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Aug. 5.--fP)-The
Yankees collected only four hits to-
dgy, but Joe Gordon whacked a hom-
er and young Bobby Feller kindly
walked 11 batters to give the New
Yorkers a 6 to 1 decision over the
Indians in the lopening tilt of their
important three-game series. A
crowd of 62,773 turned out for thel
battle.
The victory, achieved behind fine
five-hit pitching by Bump Hadley,
sent the Yanks 31/ games in front
of the Tribe in the American League
race, the biggest edge they have en-
joyed this season..
Feller just couldn't find the plate.
In fact, he was the best man the
Yanks had on the field. He had run-
nets on base in every one of the seven
innings he worked, twice walked three
batters in a row, and once walked
in a run, as he lost his sixth game of
the season. For Hadley, it was the
fifth victory of the year, compared
with three setbacks.
The Yanks played without the serv-
ices of Bill Dickey, their ace catcher,
who was sidelined with an ailing leg,
but Joe Glenn, who handled the re-
ceving chores, filled in capably.
Joe Gordon hit his 15th homer of
the year with one on in the seventh.
Frank Crosetti stole three bases dur-
ing the game.
1oston Noses Tigers
DETROIT, Aug. 5.-()--Scoring
six runs in the last two innings, the
Bost6n Red Sox came from behind
to down the Detroit Tigers, 9 to 8,
ii a 10 inning battle today. Joe
Cronin's homer with the bases full
enabled Boston to tie the score at 8-
all in the ninth.
Behind 8 to 3 and apparently hope-
lessly beaten, the Red Sox staged
a:five run uprising to knot the count
in the ninth as Auker appeared to
lose all of his stuff. Peacock batted
for Desautels and walked. Leo Non-
nenkamp batted for Heving and
dropped a single in left. Cramer
also singled, filling the sacks.
Fannnnr .'nnrad nPater fhp rnnh7 n
sacks became filled again, Cronin
then hit a homer into the right field
bleachers, scoring Nonnenkamp, Cra-
mer and Foxx ahead of him.
The blow finished Auker, Tommy
Bridges replacing him. Chapman
doubled to left. Doerr popped. Tabor
singled to third, Christman making
a brilliant stop to prevent a double
and run. Gehringer then threw out
Peacock.
Doubles by Cramer and Cosmik
gave Boston a run in the tenth that
decided the game. Harry Eisenstat
relieved Bridges after the tally had
scored and retired the side. Detroit
went out in order in its half.
Dodgers Lose
BROOKLYN, Aug. 5.-(A)-The
Cincinnati Reds climbed back to a
third-place tie in the National League
race today by whipping the Dodgers,
4 to 1. The defeat dropped the
Brooklyns into sixth place, behind
the idle Boston Bees. Dolph Camillij
clouted his 16th homer of the year.
Browns Win
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5.-(A)-The St.
Louis Browns eyed seventh place to-
day after taking the first of a four-
game series with Connie Mack's Ath-
letics, 9 to 2. But to hoist themselves
out of the American League cellar
Gabby Streets' lowly crew will have
to sweep the remaining three games.
