COMING FROM REAR
 ID WIN, SOME TASK
Hagen Is One Of Greatest Uphill
 Athletic Fighters
tBy Billy Evansl


 He's a wonder at coming from be- hind and winning
 Such is an oft-heard expression in sport with reference 10 the athlete who doesn't know defeat-keeps plug ging at all times.
 Golf offers one of the greatest eN- amples of the come from behind theory in Walter Hagen. Rival golfers are always worried about Hagen re- gardless Of how far he may. be behind.
 Hes a front runner is another much-used sport expression. It re- fers to the player who is hard to beat provided he gets out in front early.
 Tho 1923 world series between the Yankees and the Giants furnished an exhibition Of what may happen if one keeps plugging away.
 The coming from behind stunts was staged in the sixth and final game of the series. The refusal of Pitcher Herbie Pennoek of the Yankees to ad- init defeat made possible the situation and with it the championship.
 Throughout the game the Giants hit Pennock consistently, scored four runs In seven innings. Only the breaks and Pennock's courage kept the score that low.
 Nehf, for the Giants, had simply been inyincible. A home run by Ruth early in the games was the only score by the Yankees.
 The break came in the eighth, when the invinciblc Nehf developed a streak of wildness that was fatal. The | Tanks scored five runs and captured | the game.
 If Pennoek had early conceded de- feat, pitched carelessly. the Giants probably would have made so many runs that the Yankee rally would have ayailed nothing. Pennoek's performance was courageous one, Any time a team or individual comes from behind to win, the feat is regarded as tribute to gareness.
 The athlete capable of coming from behind is regarded as game.
 The athlete known as front run ncr, one who shines when he has a margin to work on, Is usually consid- cred lacking Tn couragc--oitcn re- fcrrcd to as yellow" All of which gives rise to the aues- ton as to whether it isn't just as diiii- cult to hold a slight lead, with the opposition striving to cut it down, as to come from behind.
 
 If is baseball tradition that certain , pitchers given Il margin Of a few runs are almost unbeatable. These same pitchers are not nearly so effective i when their team is trailing. . Some convincing arguments might be offered to prove the strain Of hold \ ng the opposition at bat, when enjoy ing only slight lead, is as difficult ( , task as plugging away when be- hind.
 It might all be traced back to tho of the individual, merely 1 | matter of nerves, rather than cour- : lge. In sport. front runners arc re- { rarded as lacking in courage. Pos { 'ibiy they are being done quite an injustice.

MANUEL derrick
B[tMES NEWSPAPERS
SAYS Publican 'Queered' His
Plans for Making Aerial
Campaign Success

Manuel Herrick, he of recent fra
grant memory in Americas, east
while representative in Congress
from the sovereign state of Okla
honia, and withal generally known
as d dare devil Of the air" has
broken into print again. This time
Manuel of uncollared shirt fame
blanes the newspaper for his trou-
bles, and denies the authenticity Of
certnin publications therein. TO be
specific, Manuel, now a Tame
duck" in Washington, blames the
newspapers for spelling" his pro
posed aerial campaign for con-
gress. The story of Manuels later
exploit is told in the Washington
Times under date of July IA, as
follows:
Manuel Herrick, self-styled aer-
ial daredevil, is al lup in the air al
though he has far from regalncd
possession of both his flying ships.
The. former Oklahoma Congressman
believes newspaper publicity of his
intended political campaign by air
has "queered" his game.
I do wish the newspapers would
keep my name out" MIR. Herricl,
pleaded with mild execrations, with
one hand fumbling a ready-made
"Ja2zbo" tie and using the other
for emphasis.
'Ex-Congressman Herrick declar-
ed he had nothing to say in connec
ton! with the arrest of Herbert
Fahg, 724 Fifth street northwest,
whom he accused of stealing his fly
ing machine. Then he proceeded TO
outline the case verbosely.
"Eahy was taken into custody by

authorities. He will be given a pre-
liminary hearing on a charge of
