Kansas Gardener

Throughout World

TOPEKA, KAS.-Although he is
living on modest pension, Phil E.
Zimmerman is known in many parts
of the world. His notoriety stems
from the fact that he is identified
simply as "the man who gives away
flower seeds"
Known as the worlds champion
seed giver, the tall, gangling flower
gardener makes certain that his
flowers get around. He gives them
away free.
Some of the Zimmerman flowers
are growing in every continent in
the world except Australia.
."I'm going to get them there pref
ty soon," he promises.
Almost everybody in Topeka
knows Zimmerman. Others are Just
as likely to know him in China,
Great Britain, Cuba or Africa.
There are more than 1000 gardens
in Topeka bearing Zimmerman's
flowers. He is credited with being
instrumental in establishing sew
eral hundred new flower gardens ev-

men are afraid, facing death or de-
feat, but they rise above this fear"
This happens to be, by all odds,
the most interesting angle in sport.
Certainly, the brave can be afraid
and the dumb, minus any magma
ton, can remain unafraid.
A complete absence of fear Is one
of the rarest of all qualities. We
have known only three men SO
blessed-Theodore Roosevelt Jr.,
Capt. Eddie Rickenba cker and Col.
Wild Bill Donovan.
There must have been many 9TH
ers. We are speaking only Of the
three that we have seen tested,
where death was a completely I'M
important where life was
even more ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to the job they had to do. They also
had imagination.
But in the matter of fear and
courage, there is no possible way to
compare sport with war. In this re-
spect, they belong in two different
worlds. A brave soldier might curl
up in some competition in sport. A
strong sporting competitor might
not be so hot in war action.

Fe,O Are Cutters

There are not many cutters In
sport. Cutters don't like hard COM
petition and the grind needed to get
them up around the top. This ap-
plies especially to football and
boxing, the body contact games.
Among the most fearless the
greatest competitors I have seen
in sport are: Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth,
Hans Wagner, Old Pete Alexander,
Walter Johnson, Bobby Jones, Wal
ter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Harry
Greb, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney,
Tommy Hitchcock, Dew Milburn
and too many football players to
even start count.
Tunney's idea or angle was this:
"Get ready with the best you have
to give. Condition is terribly i'm
portant, although there are nota-
BILE exceptions. You can throw
these out against the thousands who
need condition. There are always
exceptions that prove no rule.
"But once the game is on, what
ever 1t Is, fear of defeat and worry
about the result must be eliminated.
For fear Of what might happen will
upset your brain, freeze your
nerves and, in turn, wreck any
chance for coordination between
mind and muscle"
Desperation often gets credit for
courage. So does raw luck.
All you can figure on is the gen.
eral average. In 80 per cent of this
division you will find those who
worked to develop their skill, who
kept in condition, who had the con-
fidence needed to face the problem
or tackle the handicap. This doesn't
include everyone. It merely takes
in the = majority, including those
mentioned above.
No race or nation has any copy
right on courage. But those
equipped with what it takes to win
usually get the call.

of 100000 men in service type units.
The pattern for the military
establishment Of the United
States was set back in colonial
days when the early settlers or
ganized themselves into cOmpa-
MES to protect themselves and
their property. The 1921 infan-
try of the Massachusetts Ma
.tional Guard, oldest regiment in
the continental United States,
traces its history back to the
"North Regiment" which was
organized in 1886 from compa-
MES or "trainbands," then in
existence.
Reliance upon themselves as citi-
zen soldiers rather than upon a
large professional army has been a
tradition with Americans since that
time.
Washington's View.
George Washington, who led an
army of citizen soldiers to victory
in the Revolutionary War, ex-
pressed it this way when asked by
the first congress of the United
States to give his views on what the
military policy of the new nation
should be:
every citizen who enjoys the
protection of a free government
owes not only a proportion of his
property but even of his personal
services to the defense of it."
At the conclusion of World War II
George Marshall expressed it this
way:
"Obviously, we cannot all put on
uniforms and stand ready to repel
invasion. . But all Americans
can, in the next generations, pre-
pare themselves to serve their
country in maintaining the peace or
against the tragic hour when peace
is broken, if such a misfortune
again overtakes u.s.
This is the tradition and the hertz
age of the new National Guard,
which will take its place as an in
tegral part of the nations security
team.

T,Uo Different Games

Sometime back I was talking with
a famous boxer. He was an army
instructor. 81 can't figure it all
out" he told me. ''When I tap a
few of these soldiers in the nose
they want to quit. But next day
they'll 60 over the top or lead a
charge. I don't mind being hit in
the nose or knocked down. At least
don't fear it. But I don't believe
I'd lead any charge against machine
guns, without ducking into the first
foxhole saw. I guess it's two diff
ferent games-two different an
gles."
Here he called the turn-two diff
ferent games and two different an
giles that are far apart.
Back around 1911 l saw Christy
Mathewson cut the corner of the
plate against Home Run Baker for
the third strike and the game. Only
the umpire called it ball which
later led to Bakers home run. 81
cut two inches over the plate" Mat
ty told me later. He had the cour.
age to do this in world series.
A few days later in a golf match
Mathewson and I played with Mike
Donlin and Fred Merkle. Matty
missed putt by three inches. His
hands were shaking.
Here is the answer. Baseball
was Matty's game. He had the skill
and confidence to meet any situation
in baseball. Golf wasn't his game.
On general average, I would say
that the basic quality Of fear and
courage in sport must include three
factors-skill, experience and condi-
tion-which lead to confidence. The
confident competitor, who is in
shape, who is experienced, who has
his share of skill, usually comes
through.

Loyalty Case 0usfers
BY the Asseeioisd Press

Carroll Reece, chairman OF the
Republican National Committee,
said yesterday Republican pressure
and not State Department initiative
was responsible for the discharge of
10 State Department employees.
The department released them
last week on the ground they were
considered bad risks" from the
standpoint of national security.
Oficials said some of them had
been accused of being members Of
the Communist Party.
Mr.. Reece said in a statement the
department had made an apparent
attempt to represent the action as
an illustration of initiative on It's
part to protect the country.
THE cold fact Is" Mr.. Reece
declared, That the discharges were
ordered most reluctantly and grudg-
ingly and only after months OF
stubborn resistance to determined
pressure of most practical nature
exerted by Republican members Of
a Congressional Appropriations
Committee.
Mr.. Reece said there are many
still on the State Department pay
roll whose loyalty has been ques-
TONED by competent authority"
Department officials know they
are there but have refused to take
action" he added.
The discharge of the 10, Mr..
Reece commented, sis belated and
very fragmentary beginning of the
through delousing process which
must be carried out to safeguard
American security"
