BY HUGH FULLERTON, JR.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-(P)-
The word morale has taken
such a beating lately that strong
men sometimes shudder and
turn away when they hear It.
But the other night we heard
it used in an "off-the-record'
talk by an Army man who
should know what he's saying
and he came out strongly IN
favor of sports as an aid to CT
william and military morale.
This officer hasn't sports back

a regular Army man who has
seen the fighting forces of both
sides in action and whose job in
this war is working against the
morale of the German Army.

ilian front, il has a depressing
effect on them :. From this
standpoint. the officer says,
sport news is good news even
when your favorite team loses
:. For the pat-on-the back de-
partment he adds: You fellows
(meaning sports writer's are do
ing wonderful job of keeping
up morale.
Following similar line Of
thought is a recent note from
another officer who starts out:
Keep up the plugs for profess
sional sports And adds that in
his two years in the Army he
never has heard soldier make
a crack about ballplayers failing
TO join up and that the pennant
races and football dope" are
two unfailing subjects of discus
sion. The way the boys feel,
he says. the shutting down of
pro and college sports would
leave the newspapers with only
war news and society-they
would like TO get away from the
war news once in a while and
they are not interested in the
society columns"

Vim Decision
Gratifying to
Louisville Fans

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. l2--
lRi-The decision to make the
Kentucky Derby this year a
strictly hometown affair, a
move TO conserve transportation,
means that probably thousands
of Louisvillians will see the
great classic of American rae
ing for the first time next May
!.
When Joseph B. Eastman, di-
rector of defense transportation,
approved the arrangements plan
to localize Derby attendance,
Louisville fans were enveloped
in a glow of satiSfaction-evcn
though they understood that
most Of the Derby glamor' was
likely to be missing this year.
Mayor Wilson Wyatt explain
ed it this way;
so many people who have
lived here for years never got
near Churchill Downs on Derby
Gay because they didn't care 20
buck the crowd from out Of
town. And thousands who did
get to the track never saw the
race run because the crowd was
too big for everyone TO get a
view of the track.
Now for the first time in
years, all our home folks who
want to will get chance to en-
JOY the Derby
AS for the "glamor, few
parties are expected; the hotels
already jammed for months, will
be unable TO conduct special
functions; public dances are i'm
probable; flags in the streets
and general holiday spirit are
likely TO be taboo. Louisville is
an industrial city and much of
its industry is devoted to the
war effort.

Pills Worth
a Good Price,
Hickey Says

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-P)-
The Philadelphia Phils have
been no bargain on the baseball
field these many years, but
Branch Hickey says that who
ever buys the club will get more
than his moneys worth.
The new Brooklyn Dodger
head man, discoursing on the
plight of the National League
cellar champions, opined that the
sale price, unofficially estimated
at 100000, was the lowest he
ever heard of and offered fine
opportunity for some enterpris-
ing man to do a rebuilding job.
Hickey declared at his latest
press conference that if he were
buying the Phils he would figure
on losing money the first three
years. He set SIPS, 900 as the loss
he might expect the first year.
Did / say loss?" he asked.
That's wrong. I should say in
vestment, for the money you put
into the club is just that. It's
like buying a farm for $50 an
acre and developing it until it
is worth $3.50 an acre"
What the Pills need, he con-
tinued, is working capital, good
management and enthusiasm.
The club has practically nothing,
he said, and anything that was
done would be an Improvement.
He pointed out that if by
chance the war did stop baseball,
the purchase of the Phils would
be an even better investment as
by the time the league started
operating again all the clubs
would be starting out more or
less even.

the result of a 1892 victory

sidered one of the best amateur

The Flyers had to 60 all-out
to become the second team to de-
feat Jaglowicz this season, but
they were equal to the task, COM
ing from behind in the closing
minutes of play to wipe out q
two-point deficit.
With less than four minutes Of
playing time remaining, the Fly
ers found themselves trailing 90
81. They tied the score at 3l-all,
lost the lead for a few seconds
when a Jaglowicz eager dumped
in free throw, then knotted the
score again by sinking q free
throw. They locked up the spoils
with field goal and charity toss
in the closing 80 seconds.
Herman Feutsch, Vaughn
Waddell and Bobby Roth set the
offensive pace for Selfridge.
Feutsch counted four field goals
and two free throws for 10
points. The other two had nine
points apiece.

scheduled TO return to the hard
