in his lap. The Filipinos are good
fighters--it took 100000 American
soldiers more than two years 10

assignment as any soldier would

what is more 10 the point, called

More than anything else. though,
Macarthur has infected his men
with that same courage and opti-

innumerable times and has won
their answering loyalty.

States forces. may be small, but
under the general they love, the

Macarthur IS professional SOL
der, one OF the best, peculiarly
like the British General Sir Alan
Cunningham in command in North
Africa. He was born in the serv-
ioe, the son of General Arthur
MacAr1hur, at Little Rock Bar

Fifty years later he was the

the most thrilling wins was that

dogs, one of the largest entries in
the show, taken by Ed McLean's

where she had good competition TO

Slower Competitor Must
Outthink His Opponent

Whirlaway is slow starter. But
he has a finishing burst of speed
that can match any horse I ever
saw.
The race" as a philosopher once
wrote, may not be to the swift. But
that is where to look"
Babe Ruth could whip a heavy
bat through the air faster than any
other ball player. That is one of the
main reasons for his TIA home runs.
Speed in part is born in COM
petitor. Others are slow by nature.
The only chance for the latter is
brain speed. The slower competitor
must outhink his opponent by a
wide margin.
One of the greatest games Dizzy
Dean ever pitched came after Dir
had lost his famous log ball" 1t
was against the Yankees. He had
little left but dipsy-do and his
pitching brain. He was beaten in a
game he deserved to win because he
gave the Yankee sluggers the type of
ball they didn't like,

Tunney Worked ArduousIy
To Increase His Speed

Gene Tunney at the start was
naturally slow-footed and slow
handed. Few know how hard Tun-
ney worked to improve his speed.
He was never as fast as Jack Demp-
sey-at Dempsey's peak-but he
worked harder at his boxing, espe-
cially on the defensive side. Gene
also worked many long, hard hours
building up the sharpness of his
punching.
Joe Louis, for another example, is
as strong today as he ever was. But
Louis hasn't the hand speed he car
ried few years back when he was
part rattlesnake.
He hit Buddy Baer often enough,
partly because Buddy was much
slower than his opponent. Louis
was never fancy dancer in the ring.
He was never any too fast afoot. But
he was lightning with either glove.
AS this lightning begins to fade,
Louis will come closer and closer to
defeat AS some faster opponent
comes along who can also Inland
take his share.

Speed Most Essential

BY GRANTLAND RICE.
Special Correspondent Of The Sta,

NEW YORK, June 2 tN.AN.A0.-
"Why shouldn't Buddy Baer be the
next heavyweight champion of the
world?" asks F. K. He has the
height and the reach. He has a
smashing punch. And he has proved
now that he is dead game"
One of the most important factors
In any sport has been overlooked.
This is speed. Buddy will have to be
much faster with his hands and feet
than he was in the Louis affair.
Speed is the main factor in any
sport Why is it that Ben Hogan,
weighing 1873 pounds, can outdrive
most of the bigger fellows? Club
head speed.
Speed is the main answer in ten
mis-. 1t is certainly the main answer
In racing. Also in football
Now and then slow movers can
get by. But not often. Buddy Baer
will have to develop far more hand
and foot speed. especially hand
speed, before he can hope to reach
the ton.
