GIVING BEST SEEN
AS ATHLETES DUTY
Only Fair Thing to His Team
and to His Opponents,
Dr.. Kennedy Says.
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

T a luncheon, given by the
" Sportsmanship Brotherhood, DR.
II Charles w. Kennedy, chairman
4 of the Princeton board of ath-
letic control, spoke on the spirit
of sportSmanship, saying that all COM
inpittees and boards, all the coaches,
stadia and playing fields of any coun-
try represented only wasted effort and
investment, only frustrated faith. unless
their use brought home to the heart
of youth the age-old gospel of high
and generous chivalry in sport. A later
portion of DR.. Kennedy'S speech seems
to me well worth direct quotation.
He said:
SCI have no sympathy whatever with
the notion that boy or man should ap-
proach any game in a dilettante atti-
tude of casual indifference to excel
lence of play or to the outcome OF the
game. have no sympathy whatever
with the competitor who wants to play
at a game instead of playing the game.
Unless some of us are hopelessly at
sea in these matters, a sportsman is
one who in any competition gives his
best and intends to give his best; who
desires to win and who by every honor
able means, so far as in him lies.
intends to win. Any other attitude
of mind than this would be at odds
with the very spirit of sportSmanShip
itself, for it would be unfair to ones
teammates, who are entitled to count
upon ones cooperative best, and un-
fair to ones opponent. who is en-
titled to ones competitive best"
Romeyne Be!sy of Cornell once ex-
pressed much the same sentiment in
brief form.
Berry wrote:
THE chief end of sport is fun. It is
wise, and good form, to cultivate a
pose of caSualneSS off the field. But
when the whistle blows for contest or
practice there is no place for casual
ness on a varsity squad"
It appears to me that this is true.
The amateur slogan of playing a game
for the games sake means to play, not
for material reward, but for mental
and physical enjoyment-for fun. Can
any one say that any great amount of
spiritual calm, mental relaxation and
physical glow is induced by continual
defeat? I doubt it It is practically
always more inspiring and more fun to,
win than to lose, and it is just as
sportsmanlike, if you are playing for
the games sake. 1t is not sportsmanlike,
naturally, to play an opponent to in
ferior that he has no chance, for ma
terial stakes.
SportSmanship perhaps is Intangible,
q thing of the spirit, but it always has
seemed to be fairly simple. 1t has
nothing to do with meakness or grand
stand generosity. The man who palpa-
bly, and ostentatiously tosses a point to
an opponent, to express contempt of
an official or win applause from the
stands, is not a sportsman; he's show
off. Nor does sportsman have to be
meek to be blessed.
The man who wouldn't fight for
principle or a square deal wouldn't be
much of a fellow But the sportsman
is careful to see that others get the

SEGRAVE LAUDS

KENOSHA, Wis. March 27.-Per-
feet steering control was a major
factor in enabling Major H. o. D.

Golden Arrow race car over the
measured mile of the famous Day.
tona Beach race course at the ter
rifle speed of 231.362 miles an hour
for a new worlds speed record. On
completion OF his great run, the
speed champion declared that the
Marles steering gear employed on the
powerful British car, which is the
same type as that used ON Nash ad.
vanced six 400" models, gave him
"the completest satisfaction"
Nash Motors Company engineers
followed the performance of this
steering system and the ma jor y mas
terly use Of 1t with intense interest.
They see in his flashing success an
other powerful illustration of the
Importance that sturdy, dependa bile
and highly sensitive steering sys.
TENS play in modern motoring and
Safeguarding the lives of all drivers.
For the slightest DETECTION from the
course at that terrible speed spelled
certain death for the gallant pilot.
The average motorist, they point
out, will never have to subject his
steering system to the awful strain
it had to undergo in the beach
speed trials. but the drivers of
Nash Advanced Six 100" models
are dOuhly secure in the knowledge
that the same type Of Marles gear
that brought Segrave through is
used in these famous stock cars.
This system. which supplies the new
Nash cars with the easiest steering
control so far achieved. was de-
veloped to it's present perfection
through the cooperation of Nash

KANSAS CITY, June 25.--Kansas
City's cowgirl and cattle saleswoman
extraordinary hopes this year to end her
prolonged fight to gain q membership
in the city,s livestock exchange.
For 10 years Elsie Pearl Truskett has
been rebuffed in efforts to acquire
privileges of membership. Her 5000 900
damage suit against the Kansas City
Livestock Exchange now II bending.
Buying and selling cattle has been her
life work. AT one time she controlled
the largest incoming livestock business
of any woman at the Kansas City yards.
She has bought and sold numerous
ranches, and now owns three and rents
three in Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
Her holdings total 5000 acres.
Until last year Miss Truskett was
employed by various firms in the Kan
sas City stockyards as cattle buyer.
She began in 1908 at So day and was
making $400 month when they ousted
her because, she says, she was a woman.
Miss Truskett's hobbies are writing
poetry and helping the destitute. She
advertised her stockyards business in
rhyme. AS a sideline she operates two
apartments. Originally she planned to
