Belief in Signs Helped Phillies Pennant Win
The 1915 Philadelphia National League club, under Pat Moran, used sign-stealing as a science to win the pennant. A base runner at second could relay catcher signals to hitters, with runners noting signs and batters adjusting to fastballs or curves. The scheme allowed Phillies hitters to anticipate pitches by observing thumbs and belt cues, while other teams remained unaware.

Dutch May Not Be Able to Finance Olympics in 1928
Opponents in Parliament argue that Holland cannot fund the 1928 Olympic budget of 1.0 million Noriens. Premier De Berenbroek and Foreign Minister Van Karaibeek may not make the vote a confidence issue as the government and allies face likely rejection. If funds do not come, the Olympics may be staged only if money appears before Prague congress. Sabbath desecration is cited, though officials deny it as the official reason for opposition. Local opposition to extraordinary expenditures adds to financial doubts.
