The Games the Thing
After all, if you have left either
winning or a losing field without
your opponents respect for the main
things that make up sport-wen say
courage, clean play, hard play, de-
cency-the harvest is hardly worth
while. It's tough to be good loser,

SPEAKING OF
SPORTS
Heavyweight Hopefuls
BY ROBERT MeSHANE
RsIso,sd BY wss.m Nsv.popsr Uaso.

A RTURO GODOY, the South
American glamour boy, is gun
ming for a third bout with Heavy
weight Champion Joe Louis.
Just why Godoy should be re-
matched with the champ is a matter
which cannot be explained to any
ones satisfaction. The demand for
this bout is just about as great
as the demand that Hitler and Mus
sOlini visit New York's east side.
Fortunately, at this writing, the
bout is still in the conversational
stage. And the conversation is prac-
tically all Godoy's. Uncle Mike
Jacobs will think a long time before
he promotes bout with as little in
its favor as this setup.
Sadly enough, Godoy epitomizes
the field of defeated fighters now
monopolizing heavyweight circles.
That field includes Max Baer, Lou
Nova, Lee SavoId, Pat Comiskey and
Bob Pastor, Tony Galento evident
ly has decided-and very wisely
that enough is enough.
The Roll Call
1t is quite evident that the con-
tenders do not fit into the champion
ship class. Max Baer, when the
right occasion arises, is one of the
most dangerous of present-day fight
ers. But that right occasion will
never come for him in the same
ring with Joe Louis. Nova took a
horrible lacing at the hands of Ga
lento. 1t won't be easy for him
to climb back even as far as his
former rating. Dopesters wouldn't
give Savold much of a chance on
the basis of his past victories. Pat
Comiskey's stock didn't climb when
Baer whipped him in their recent
encounter. Comiskey, nevertheless,
is young enough to snap back after
sufficient seasoning in the big time.
Pastor, sole remaining white hope
in the list of aspirants, lacks the
punch to reach the top. And his
drawing power seems limited to his
relatives and few close friends.
The solution? There just doesn't
seem to be any. Time will have to
take its toll and some day a now I'M
heard of youngster will arise and
overpower or Pappy Louis.

bers the 1899 attendance was 592, 900.
The seven night games played by
the White Sox attracted 214, 760 pay

FATALITIES and pretty, if inexpensive
frocks and good times. I've begged
him to relax, to be cheerful, to
stop worrying. I've prayed about
it. Can you make any suggestion
to Just one more Mary7'"
The only suggestion 1 can make
is that there is a reason for this

found and diagnosed, like any bodily
sickness, Mary will find that she il
halfway to the cure.
It may indeed be physical. It
sounds very much like stomach ul-
GERS or COLTS or any one Of the SIM
liar ailments that so often attack
men whose habits are sedentary and
who eat heartily. If Larry can be
persuaded to walk two miles day,
eat a light dinner, and substitute for
rich desserts the invaluable orange,
apple, saucer of prunes or compete
of raw fruits, he may find life taking
on a much roster color.
1EOuDlc 1EOUduly NChtois
But much more probably Larry's
trouble is mental. He is carrying
too heavy burden. II two Of those
daughters had been sons he would
feel very differently. 1.-THE boys will
be helping out in a few years."
would be his natural thought.
That boys DON'T usually help out,
and are much less reliable as mon
ey-earners than girls are, doesn't
often occur to the father Of daugh-
tiers. But that's an aside.
The cure for Mary's problem
might come through move indeed,
but move to simpler and less ex-
pensive rather than finer quarters.
1t might come through determined
lessening of expenses, rather than
an increase in them. 1t might come
if the twins started talking less Of
college and sorority days and more
of jobs. 1t might come if Mary and
the girls all talked honestly to Papa,
dismissed the maid, gave up the
apartment for which they pay S85
rent and planned for a country farm
near the city, at S35. 1t might come
if they gave Papa a chance to do
a little gardening, to split wood and
chop down trees and putter with
windmill's machinery.
Helping Dad Out Of Gloom.
There is escape for all of us from
difficult conditions, if we will but
open our minds and hearts to find it.
A wife and four daughters, when
the man of the house is the only
bread-winner, shouldn't have
maid. Larry's family has one, and
often, for part-time, another. Girls
in such a family should be busy put
ting up fruit to sell, or taking after
school jobs in frock shops or tea
rooms. A mother like Mary should
be talking Of resources, not Of con-
slant needs. II she found some
weather-beaten old place outside the
city, painted it with the girls as
sistance, opened a lunchroom, took
a couple of small children to board,
started a bank account Of her own,
from which to supply her daughters
the Injuries they want, she might
find the man of the house a changed
person.

agreeable" II the family would CO.

TO MAKE himself disagree
able is a luxury that costs
L a husband very little.

L a husband very little.
When life goes dull for him;
or his business is worrisome;
when he has nothing to remem-
Der of his fishing trip but sun
burn and an unpaid poker debt;
when one child has a cold and
the mouth of the other is disfig-
ured by dental bands, then it is
Dads royal prerogative to be
disagreeable, and he has to be a
man of real strength of charac-
ter and real sweetness of temper
to be anything else.
Nobody can stop him if he
wants to be disagreeable.
When a man drinks or gam
bles to excess, beats his chill
dren, is unfaithful to his wife,
there is something she can do about
it, But when he merely criticizes,
sulks, snaps and growls, she is help
less unless she wants to turn Shrew,
and at the same time turn the house
into a hell for all concerned.
Dads Mood Affects All.
Most women don't do that, if only
for the sake of their own dignity
and for the children. They over
look, they smile, they explain and
placate and endure until the bad
mood passes.
Dad is in a bad mood tonight"
they say in an undertone. The chill
dren glance at him apprehensively.

Silence. Silence. The head of the

family annoyed.
my husband is everything that is
good and fine in character" writes
a Boston wife, "but he is so glum!
I could count on my fingers the
times I have seen Larry really
cheerful. We have four young
daughters, and have had hard times
financially. But times are better
now, and we are paying off bills and
planning-or, am, at least. for a
move to a nicer house and a little
expansion generally. Larry takes
no interest in this, he glooms away
silently at meals, is very apathetic
over any talk of change, and goes
silently through life as if he were
haf-dead.
"The effect of this on me and the
girls is of course perfectly terrible.
We can't start up conversation
while that deaths-head of boredom
and disapproval is looking on. AS a
result we make our own plans and
keep quiet when Papa is around.
Larry resents this, too, for when I
ask for money he hasn't heard our
plans, doesn't know what it is for
and generally growls about it.
No Criticism Allowed.
'.All this seems very sad, to me.
We could be SO happy! The girls
deeply admire and really love their
father; I have never allowed my
self or them the slightest criticism
of him. I have always reminded
them that he works hard to keep
us all comfortable and happy, that

he does truly love US, deep down in
his heart. But find it hard going,

hICe oAd PAoSSS oSiCo-
ules play big part
In any seasons final roundup-a ter
rifle part.
Pennant-winning teams in the
National and American baseball
leagues are only supposed to have a
$50 average-about two out of three.
Few coaches have the reserve
strength on hand to get keyed up for
every game. 1t can't be done unless
the reserve material is exceptional
or the schedule is full of weak spots.
Why should a team that plays
eight or nine hard games be judged
against team that plays four hard
games and four or five setups?
Take Your Choice
recall a good many years ago
when Major Daley was coaching
Army. His two main assignments
were Yale in October and Navy in
late November.
Il can win either game" he said
to the Army staff. II can beat Yale
in October or Navy in November.
But can't win both. Which is your
main objective?"
Well take last fall. Ohio State
won one Of the hardest conference
championships football knows-the
Big Ten. Yet Ohio State lost two
major games-to Cornell and Michi-
gan.
Southern California won the Pa
cific conference title and the Rose
Bowl windup. Yet Southern Cali
fornia was tied by Oregon and out
played by Washington, both of whom
were beaten and outplayed by U.
c. L. A.
Shining Examples
The two best teams in football
last fall were Cornell and Texas
A. & M. They were neither tied nor
beaten. Nor was Tennessee until 1t
hit the Rose Bowl. But in all frank
ness not one Of these had to play .
Notre Dame or an Iowa schedule
nor Minnesota schedule.
For another example, suppose
most teams had to meet Wander
bits current schedule-Princeton,
Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Mississip-
pi, Alabama and Tennessee among
others.
Let some of these mop-up winners
try out that last-named menu on
their piccolos.
I'll give you another-U. c. L. A.
Here it goes-S. M. u, Santa Clara,
Texas A. & NJ, California, Oregon
State, Stanford, Oregon, Washington
State, Washington and Southern CAL
ifornia. Only nine or ten tough ones
in a row, including six of the ma
TONS best
The Big Difference
Two or three setup games can
make all the difference in the world,
such as many high ranking teams
have. They give the coach chance
to rest up any injured men and get
them ready for the next hard test,
while another coach, facing one
tough opponent after another, has
no such break.
For this reason there is no such
animal as a national champion. 1t
is complete impossibility with SO
many teams playing SO many differ
ent schedules.
The closest claim l recall to any
so-called national championship was
Knute Rockne's last Notre Dame
team-1930-that mopped up East,
Midwest, Southwest and Far West.
The only close calls came against
Southern Methodist and Army, the
latter on the worst football day and
the worst football field ever saw
rain, sleet, snow, fog and ice.
