SACRIFICE BETTER
| THAN four DAGGER
When Applied to Case of
Big Hank Gowdy-The
Story in Jingle

Along the trial of balloon, where the
idols come and 60, he used to pull the
plaudits of the ballyard rooter, DO. He
swung a mighty willow and he wore the
catcher's pad and when he walloped in
a pinch the bleacher bugs went mad.
They labeled Hank hero then, a real
big Lacquer, kid; then said he was the
series star because of things he did.
The press and public blared his name
from Maine to Frisco bay and baseball
gave him big league fame and lots of
big league pay. His mighty bat is idle
now, where once it made a stir; instead
of baseball pay checks, DO, he's draw
ing thirty per. He doesn't hear the rum
bic of the rooters' frenzied roar, but
Hanks bigger Lacquer now than e'er
he was before. For Gowdy dropped his
smuggling bat to tote an army gun and
sign with Uncle Sam to slam the curves
of Bill the Hun He's left the diamond
battle with it's glamor and its stars;
its fame and kale he might have kept. tc
join the league of Mars. He left his
cushy, dazzling job, with all it's brilliant
flare, to don the army khaki in the big
game over there. To play the biggest
game of ALL upon diamond dread,
where death turks in the box score and
the runs are scored in red. Along the
trail of balloon, where the idols rise and
fall, the rooterS watch in vain to see
rank Gowdy slam the ball. No more
they score a Gowdy play upon Their
scorecard charts; but DO, they're scored
his sacrifice, in silence, in their hearts.

Magazine.

On Great Sport Topics
~ JAMES J. CORBETT.

I. CORBETT.
! lacked the reliance of wonderful phys
ical fitness.
1 recall the case of baseball pitcha
er as another example.
He was a youngster only recently
graduated from the "bushers." His
manager put him into big league
game at the time when the kid was
just recovering from an attack of ma
laria and when his arm was in rather
poor condition. The result vas that
ne cracked in the crisis and tue oppo-
nent team belted him all over the lot.
He became wild and wilder and the
fans decided that he was yellow-that
he lacked courage.
Three weeks later the same young
ster went against the same team and
showed them up, allowing them only
two hits. The day he pitched that game
was the day when he came back into
a state of physical fitness, when all
the malaria germs had been removed
out of his system and when his arm
was in fine working order. Time and
again through that game the youngster
was backed against the wall by i'm
pending rallies by the opposition, but
always he stemmed the attack And
the fans hailed him as "gams kid"
What is the answer?
Isn't it physical fitness?
And so it is all through life-whether
you are an athlete or in business or
an employee. If you are physically fit
tycu generate within you confidence
which rises to the heights whore it
Justly can be termed coura ge--or where
| it becomes synonymous with courage.
