tion, but for the value it is serving as
an exhaust valve for the excessive
steam of those wound up in the every
day battles. Baseball is probably the
best example of this. Uncle Sam IS de.
votion to the national game has kept
his brain clear and logged up his humor
with dashes of pop, peanuts, fresh air
and enthusiasm for ball parks. No
matter how bitter the feeling between
capital and labor, Democrats, Republi-
cans or Bull Moosers, time can be taken
out to go to ball game where every
body meets ON an equal level; where

only thing that counts is hitting, field

ing himself too seriously and going to

Gallery Gods Amuse.
The yells of the gallery gods at the
boxing shows afford almost as much
fun as the fights, and sometimes a
lot more. Once in a while some wag
pulls good one that overshadows the
fight. At one of the recent fights,
here the announcer in making his usual
spiel let it be known that Bombardier
Wells had knocked out someone at Car
diff, Wales.
"How many legs did the man have,
one or two9" cried a man from the
so cent seats.
During another fight recently one of
the boys was taking terrific beating.
He was covering up and backing away
while his opponent was rocking him
with rights and lefts. When everyone
was quiet and the crowd was waiting
breathless for the finishing punch,
some one yelled;
"Open the door, the boys going
out!"
Carl Morris and Jess Willard staged
one of the poorest fights in years here
some time ago, it may be remembered.
They tapped each other around and
then would wait and spar and walk
around before rislSing another tap. The
crowd was pretty sore, but it was so
quiet you could hear the rubbing of
the mems shoes on the roisined canvas
as they shifted around. Finally Will
lard pecked at Carl gently. Then came
a voice, filled with compassion, from
the gallery:
IAN right, Carl now YOU hit

ginning to look upon sports as real
asset to the nation which should be
placed on the highest possible plane.
The question of creating a Minister of
! Sports is being discussed. This would
mean the establishment of a Govern
ment department devoted to sports.
Many prominent men favor the idea,
and those only luke warm on the prpo-
sition are at least in favor Of the nom
ination of an Under Secretary of
Sports. In case the department idea
falls through this may be done. France
has already provided for University
of Sports with a backing of nearly
$5OO,OOO.
Returning from Europe recently A.
G. Spaulding declared that the next
country that would have a baseball
league such as are now supported in
this country would be France. He saw
an increasing interest in sports in that
country, predicted that the American
athletes might not have a walk.away
in the next Olympic games and, we sup
pose, chuckled inwardly at finding a
new sales field for sporting goods. But
laying Spaulding's business aside, there
is no doubt that Europe is beginning to
take more interest in sports. Kraenz-
lein, the great Pennsylvania hurdler,
is shaping the Germans for the Olym-
pic games and though England is re-
luctant to admit it American methods
are going to be seen cropping out in that
country.
Americans Do Not Need It.
Consideration Of plan to appoint
minister of sports in France suggests
whether this country needs such an Of
ficial. Well, hardly. There is no doubt
but that France needs a driving power
behind her sporting interests and rec
ognition by the government that
healthy sports furnish one of the best
possible tonics a nation can have, and
the making of real effort to see that
the tonic is furnished should make
things boom,
