The above verse | feel IS quite ap-

The athletes of the U. S. A.
are meeting every challenge
thrown at them by the starriest
runners and by the most brilliant
field men that have come from
every far-flung place on the globe
meeting the challenge and,
almost with nonchalance, are roll
ing back into defeat those who
have attempted to shatter Amer
ica'S athletic empire.
In every event where the boys
Of Uncle Sam were expected to
crash through to triumph, they
have justified every iota of faith.
In others, where it was presumed
they might be conquered, even
Inundated, they have astonished
with victory.
All FOemen Turned Back
These foemen of 1882 have not
been easy to smash into aefeat.
England, Germany, Ireland, Fin
land, and Italy have sent better
men to the Tenth Olympiad than
ever competed before under those
brave standards. Canada has
sent the biggest squad that it
ever honored with the chance for
Olympic glory and from far-off
Japan, Australia and New Zea-
land have come athletes whose
prowess merited their entry in
the battle for world glory.
81 knew we we're going up
against the most powerful band
of track and field men we ever
have faced" declared Lawson
Robertson, chief coach Of the
American team. "And, also, 1
knew that we had a splendid
collection of youths determined
to hurl back every onslaught
that was made. But the meet,
so far, has brought me two dis
tinct surprises. One is the alien
athletes are more brilliant than
l assumed, and the other is that
our boys are better than any of
us had hoped.
FEARS OTHERS IN 1886
1--WE cannot help but win the
majority of championships on
track and field in, this Olym-
piad, but Europe and the Orient,
and also Australia and South
Africa, have served notice on us
that this perhaps will be our
last year of rather Overwhelm-
ing supremacy.
"In 1885 the other nations
will send into the Olympiad boys
who have been tutored as care
fully as ours; boys who have
grown smart from experience.
They will have their speed. their
gameness and their stamina, to
match ours; all things will be
equal, and no longer can we
hope to dominate in decisive
fashion-if we dominate apan."

In EarLy August
Mr.. Veeck'S Reasons
For Releasing HOrnSby
DO Not Ring True

little franknes would have been relished by the
readers of the given for the release of Rogers
Hornsby manager of the Chicago Cubs.
Mr. William Veeck the former newspaperman, who got
his Job the head of the Cubs because he told the
owners thereof he could ball club better than the
Cubs being run, is quoted saying that, under
Hornsby the not high in the pennant as h
Veeck, thought they should be-
At the moment of Hornsbys release the Cubs were in

Pirates and five games removed from tie for the top spot
Briefly the Cubs under Hornsbys direction, doing
poorly that there six other teams in the league which
would gladly have changed places with the Cubs.
The Washington times., 1932-08-04
What Kind of a Boss?

If Hornsby was that kind of
a superior, it creeping into his
attitude toward his fellows even
when he was merely a player,
there is no wonder he has one
by one been eased out of his four
major league berths. Such a
dictatorial mien is not becom-
ing modern relationships be-
tween employer and employe-
nor even boss and laborer.
The more authority, the more
ability, the more brains we
find in these days and time,
the more kindliness, considera-
ton and courtesy from those
who possess exalted positions.
Successful men in high posts
are almost invariably smart
leaders who indicate their
wishes more by suggestion than
by hard-boiled orders, and if
Hornsby hasn't learned that
lesson through observation, he
has been very blind indeed.
And if such shortcomings
were his, it would have been
fairer to the fans and to
Hornsby, too, for Mr.. Veeck to
have come out bluntly and said
SO, than for him to have said
the Cubs should be higher in
August than second place, five
games behind the leaders.

INTEREST KEEN
FOR SANDLOTS,
SAYS GAUZZA
BY SID KATZNELL

Vic Gauzza, president of the
Departmental Baseball League,
assures the Washington sandlot
baseball fans that sandlot base
ball will never die in our beau
tiful city. He says:
"The players are too inter
ested in the game and the
fans are enthusiastic. How can
it fade away with that sup
port They say that SandIOt
baseball has dropped off con-
SiderabIy this year. That's not
true. We have in operation five
weekday leagues namely, De-
partmental, Industrial, George
town Church, Independent, and
the Potomac. There are sew
eral Sunday leagues also and
1 don't know just how many
teams play Independent ball"
Today the Departmental loop
offers two games. Naval Hos
pital diamonders play the G. P.
o. nine. first half winners, at 5
o'clock on the South Ellipse and
D. C. Repair Shop engages the
Commerce baSeballerS at the
same time on the North Ellipse.
Weather Interferes
Inclement weather postponed
the Mt. Vernon-West Washington
game yesterday and the officials
of the Georgetown Church cir
cult agreed to let the teams play
today at Sis o'clock on the
west Ellipse. The Mounts must
win today's game to stay in the
race.
Only one game is carded in
the Independent League this eVe-
ming, but it is an important tilt.
The Robinson A. C. opposes
the I. B. o. B. nine at S o'clock
on Monument lot No. 4. The
Bookbinders can win the first
half championship by trimming
their opponent.
Celtics Play Tomorrow
Charlie Corbett, manager of
the st. Mary's CelticS, will have
his boys in action tomorrow at
5 o'clock. when they tackle the
strong Langley Field Sluggers,
who have given the Quantico
Marines considerable trouble this
year. The game will be con-
tested in the Baggett's stadium.
The Washington times., 1932-08-04

Yet, there has been no COM
plant, only the half-uttered init
nation that, while they felt no
resentment against this one-man
domination, they were just little
happier today that Charley Grimm
was their new leader.
HOrnSby Not Unpopular
Even 80, it seems that the de-
posed manager was not unpopular
and Grimm himself was at con-
siderable pains last night to deny
that there had been any trouble
between the man and his players.
He didn't add that the players
spirit was too badly broken to re-
sent anything. But those close to
the team declared this was true.
What had happened, they said,
was that HornSby had seen too
much of McGraw when the rajah
was with the Giants and that the
result had made a profound i'm
preston on Hornsby's mind. He
had, it seemed. the McGraw COM
pleX in it's most virulent form
and not only did he insist upon
thinking for the player in ad-
vance, but also during the course
Of a play and after it was over.
1t is said that it was this system
that first began to unsell Veech
on Hornsby as a manager.
Different Versions
The latter has been strangely
silent since the dismissal, but
friends today quoted him as say
ing that he never tried to run
the club on the field, never
wished to try and never would
try. Another story had him de.
claring that I'VE ought to be eight
games in 'front.' instead Of five

An Enviable Spot

Second place and five games
behind the leaders Is an envi-
able place for early August. A
team coasting along in such a
position IS always within strik-
ing distance of the pennant
and is usually a good gate
attraction. If every manager
were fired in the major leagues
who couldn't get his club closer
than second even though the
front office thought it should
be higher-tbere would be IA
previous managers being fired
every year.
Probably no man in the
present era of baseball has
been whispered about more
than has Rogers Hornsby. Ger
tainly no man has been pushed
about much more, regardless
Of his hitting or managing or
winning the award as most
valuable player. Good deeds
or poor af1eld. or in the saddle,
he has been a sort Of marked
man" destined to ever be
pushed on to other clubs, and
now he may be destined to
become the forgotten man."
as many seem to believe the
Cubs Hornsby's last baseball
station.
Hornsby has frequently been
accused of not being able to
get along with his fellows in
uniform, whether they were
working for him or with him.
His methods when managing
teams have been said to be
dictatorial, not unlike those
of John McGraw, a product of
the old school when hard.
boiled tactics seemed to be the
most effective manner through
which to get results.
