ONE night in France Colonel Ken

NNE night in France Colonel Ken
" ncdy, of the First Division. Field
Artillery, was discussing the needed in
gradients in war.
Courage" he said. ''is, of course,
big factor. So is speed in action.
But after oil. give me fort,tude ana
stamina among my men and III take
the chance with everything else.
There are occasions when too much
attention is paid to courage in its more
flashy forms and to speed in sport.
In the first of the cup races hesolute
had the speed-but not the stamina Oh
construction to finish.
This is a frequent occurrence in many
forms of sport. IL comes with the
pitcher who can go for five, innings at
top speed, but who cant last pcyond
the sixth canto.
II comes in tennis and in golf. But 1t
is only when speed is hooked to stamina
that the real champion survives.
At the Top
THERE is. in this connection, the
L case of Everett Scott. of the Boston
Red Sox.
Scott is no big mess Of Drawn and
fiber. He is rather slcnderly built,
along lines that tend more to htheness
than to latitude. =,
Yet in this day and time. when ball
players are constantly breaking up, de.
welcoming sore arms or sore legs or spiked
| thighs or something else. Scott has set
one of the most remarkable records
ever known.
He has already played in more than
600 consecutive ball games without
missing a battle. He has smashed all
records ever known. -,
Scott has speed enough, but he will
20 down in history as the stamina KID.
| He has the great quality OF being aoie
TO last-the necessary iron in his sys-.
tenn to go for year after year without
ever caving under for a day,
His amazing record now leaves MN
nc one of the big baseball heroes of the
year-not one Of the spectacular type
TO appcal TO the populace. but one who
Is deserving far beyond the meager
praise he has drawn.
Spced may never help to develop a
race to any large extent, but stamina
rpmnins az one of the greatest quaftles
ony individual or any nation can ever
know.
Another Case
MAN O. WAR has speed. Every
lvl one knew the great three year old
could whirl along at n dizzy clip.
But when he picked up 126 pounds
against rival of class and was forced
to break worlds record for mile ant
a furlong. he proved again that M
stamina was in no sense second to hr
speed.
Tilden had the stamina to go through
in the British tennis championship
where Johnston in this case failed.
Stamina was one of the main factors
which carried Dave Heron and Bobby
Jones along to the championship finals
in golf at Oakmont last August
thirty six hole grind over cours
600 yards in length, under a blazing
sun.
Mere skill is no longer sufficient il
any of these championships. There mus
be also sufficient physical endurance t
stand the strain-to remain in contro
of ones nervous system.
No man is at his best when poisoned
with fatigue. His game under this con
dition is sure to break badly.
The laurel belongs not only to thu
one who has the speed and the skill
but also to the one who has the needed
stamina to go all the way through will
his speed and his skill intact.
t'is for the general good of the breet
