Mr.. John Clark

Union Number 6:
Dear Mr.. Clark:
In reply to your letter regarding my
team staying at the Grand Hotel in Bill
lings, l was very surprised that should
are three reasons:
First, at no time did receive from this
local union that any of the hotels in Bill
lings were unfair to organized labor You
have members of your organization who
are bowlers that ran into the same situa-
ton last spring in the State bowlers' tour
nament.
Second, if you were in a strange town
and some one called you on the telephone,
not having the courtesy to call on you per-
sonally, and told you that you could not
stay in that hotel because it was unfair,
I would just like to know what your reac-
ton would be as a business man who had
the responsibility of twenty-eight boys
after they had been assigned to their
rooms, had eaten meal, and were about
to sit down to their second meal. 1t was
rather late in the day to call and tell us
that this hotel was unfair. How was
to know that it was the Secretary of the
union down there calling? 1t would look
awfully strange if you followed the orders
of any Tom, Dick, and Harry when you
had the responsibility of all these boys.
I The Secretary in his conversation took alb
solutely the wrong attitude and when men

 Lovely Lady
 Mrs. Jarrett, who is entirely too pretty. to be an athlete, refuses to view the Olympic games as q holy cause. She just can't see why de- feat for her, or for the team, would be . national calamity.
 "The way I look ct the games" she said, they offer @ lot of young people a grand trip, and 6 chance to have the fun of competitirg against the best athletes of all the other countries. At least, that's the way they should be. I'm not say- ing that's the way they are. Too many of the swimmers and divers and runners 90 to the Olympic games believing the fate of the na- ton rests on their shoulders. As Q result, they are Q bundle of nerves, and don't have any fun"
 Mrs. Jarrett spoke the truth. In his day, this reporter has talked to athletes of all sorts and very few of them found any joy in their sport. I remember talking to BitSy Grant of Atlanta during the Davis Cup matches with Australia at Philadelphia. Bitsy told me that the greatest disappointments of his life was the making of the Davis Cup squad.
 "All my life," he told me, T have worked to get on the squad and get one of those coats with the coat of arms on the pocket. Now I've got 1t, and there hasn't been any fun. Nothing but work and worry. I swear 1t isn't worth it."

 I talked to Mrs. Jarrett yesterday, on the edge of the giant pool in Long Island where, on Saturday, the best girl swimmers in the coun. try will fight 1t out for places on the Olympic team. The cork-marked lanes of the pool were filled with thrashing competitors. Coaches and assistant coaches Strode along the sides clocking trials and yelling ad- vice. It was all very serious.
