Speed of the Cardinals.

Speed of the Cardinals.
PRANK FRISCH sent his Cardinals
through the 1884 National League
race and the world series on speed.
These same Cardinals still are the
fastest team in base ball. They can
travel.
Pepper Martin wrecked the
Athletics with his speed a few
years ago-and the Pepper
hasn't slipped to any extent in
this respect.
Medwick is one Of the fastest movers
you will look at.
Any time this ball club makes I'D
its mind to go somewhere it usually
can get there. And largely on speed.
The two Deans and Hallahan all have
unusual speed as pitchers. Both out
field and infield are fast.
Leo Durocher saved from to 10
runs in the Tiger series last Fall by
killing of base hits. Durocher may
be no great sprinter, but he can
move like flash to his right or
his left.
IT think Durocher was the star of
the SERIES" Babe Ruth told me, "but q
great defensive player often is over
looked. He saved enough runs to win
two series"
The average modern athlete has no
| appreciation of what starting speed
means in foot ball, base ball or box
ing-three competitions where it is a
vital asset.
In these three major sports It Is the
starting move that counts.
I've seen great sprinters, under 10
fiat, who were flops in foot ball. They
lacked the jump.
Drifting back to the National League
race, the Cardinals are the team that
has the winning ingredients-if they
only care enough to step out and do
their stuff.
They are great team to come from
behind. A sporting philosopher once
said: There also is gameness in front
running" The Cardinals haven't this
type of gameness. They came nine
games from behind to overhaul the
0IdIIS anu lake LIlS 1cdQ. 4nen Lney
Topped again. When they were 515
games back of first place they opened
new winning streak.
The wonder Is that Frank
Frisch isn't both bald and goofy.
Only those who have dealt with
simon-pure temperament can
know what his job is.
Temperament" some one has said
"is the highbrow word for ordinary
pure cussedness." This Is about 90
per cent correct.
Chicago's Cubs have made one Of
the best fights base bali ever has seen,
for they don't figure against either
Giants or Cardinals. But there they
are-still hustling for the next run.
It was not until Charley Grimm
decided to swap experience for speed
benching himself and putting Phil
Cavarretta on first base-that the Cub
drive started. You can laugh away
more than q few thing In this bizarre
sporting hfe-but you can't laugh
away speed

THE name of Willie Heston was
brought up by James I. Bush, a
director of Madison Square Garden,
in discussion on speed in foot ball.
Bush played with Wisconsin against
Heston for three years. Bush at that
time was one Of the outstanding stars
Of Midwestern foot ball.
Willie Heston," he says, was the
fastest starting back I ever saw.
Weighing 100 pounds, with this start
ing speed, he still remains the great
est back I ever saw, and that covers
more than 80 years.
"At that time Archie Hahn was the
Spring champion. Hahn could run
the hundred yards around 93-5. Yet
Heston could beat him at 40 yards
any time they met. Willie not only
was fast and heavy, but rugged and
strong. Walter Eckersall could beat
Heston at 100 yards, but Ecky never
had the starting speed that sent Hes
ton through an opening like a g.
inch shell. If the phrase human
catapult' ever belonged to one man
1t belonged to Heston."
There were two occasions when
Heston, playing defensive back, shot
through to take the ball away from
the rival quarterback's hands as he
was passing it to another back. You
can't do that limping.

Just A Little Bet On

Watch For The Big Paradel

Two of the Omahan enthusiastic

Glenn Pruitt, 2314 M. 22nd Street,

fight and places his bet on Make
Baer.
The following il the way these two
distinguished gentlemen have decided
to settle this dispute, Mr.. O. ID. Pat
ton, who believes in the Brown Bomb

bet (big parade starts at the Grant

Ethiopia, The Soviet

LitvinOff Uses League to Block III
Duce's War Plans
Lovers of Peace and Anti-Fascists
of World Must Save Ethiopia
By Ben Davis, Jr.

Dy Den DdNlSg IT.
A threat to quit the League Of
Nations, is the latest move Of Ltal-
ian fascism in its mad rush to gobble
UP the brave but almost d-efenceless
Negro contry, Ethiopia
Althogh knowing that the domi-
rant imperialist powers in the League
Of Nations have approved his con-
quest Of Ethiopia, MussoIini j. ang-
cred by the fact that the League has
been used to delay his imperiaIist
plans. For this brilliant strategy,
Mussohni has Ltvinoff to thank"
Realizing that the League Of Ma
tons cannot stop Italy's unprovoked
attack on Ethiopia, Maxim Litvinoff.
foreign representative Of the Soviet
Union and chairman Of the League of
Nations Council during the Italo-
Ethiopian dispute, has nevertheless
sought to squeeze every ounce of
substance out of the League by post
poning the war. When Litvinoff vot-
ed for the agreement based Oh the
infamous 1906 treaty, he declared
expressly that the agreement did not
preclde the Leage of Nations from
going into the whole controversy on
September 4th The principal p~roviso
in the agreement was that the sigma
tories Italy and Ethiopia) defer de-
claration Of war until the League Of
Nations council meeting September
4th.
A consideration Of the entire Italo-
Ethiopian controversy would not only
again postpone Mussolini's fascist
plans, but would further air the high
handed method used by italian fas-
cism in framing a case against Eth
opia. The Italian fascist diplomats
recognize this as a stumbling black
TO Italy's "c%ivilizing" mission in ETH
opia, and thus Mussolini threatens
to bolt the League before September
4th- This policy was followed BY Ja-
pan when japanese imperialism
thumbed its nose at the League and
seized Manchuria.
The diplomacy of Litvinoff in the
League is not difficult to understand,
when it is made clear that the Soviet
Union is the one country in the
world which has no ~mperlalist appe-
tite, and desires no colonial empire
Litvinof represents a government of
workers and farmers, which shows
by deeds-and not merely by words
that it stands for equality Of all
oppressed Municipalities and minority
peoples, including the Negro people
all over the world.
Dividing The Spells
On August 18th, Italy, France and
England dominant ~imperialist pow
ers in the League, met in Paris to
decide the fate of Ethiopia The true
nature of this conference was shown
when Ethiopia was barred from par
ticipation. Both England and France
have given their consent to Musso-
lini's plans, but this Paris meeting
was evidently to prevent Italian fas-
cism from stepping on the toes Of
Britain and France, both of whom
have large interests In Ethiopian
other words to divide the spoils.
Uncle Sam is already involved in
support Of Italian aggression in ETH
