LW By Eddie Ash

WRITING in the Amateur Athlete, official publication of the A. A. U. of the United States, Fred L. Steers, A. A. U. vice president, stresses the importance of the “will to win” and declares that this one quality is abso-

lutely necessary to our people in the present emergency. Mr. Steers points out that “without the ‘will to win,’ manpower, enormous appropriations, munitions, machines, ships, planes, guns,

and all else count for naught.

With the ‘will to win’ these become

vital, living, powerful instruments in the preservation of our national

safety and our way of life.

“American resources and ingenuity,

combined with the ‘will to

win,” will make us a superior force in the world. Our philosophy of freedom can be preserved for ourselves and our posterity, and our

nation will endure.

“We have been accused of being soft. By the measures of all

history we should be, but we are not.

Luxury, ease and a multiplic-

ity of labor-saving devices have not in the least broken our spirit,

depressed our mentalities or deteriorated our bodies.

History shows

a long list of peoples who have enjoyed less luxuries, but early have been overcome with the forces of deterioration and decay.

“What has caused us to escape letics!

a like fate? Competitive ath-

“We have taken for granted the physical, mental and social

benefits derived from athletic competition.

Athletics have been so

much a part of the life of the American people that we accent this phase of our existence today much as we do ths air we breathe. Competitive sport, this American ideal of play, is all about us. “We have playgrounds, field houses, gymnasia, athletic fields, courts, swimming tanks and like paraphernalia profusely scattered throughout the length and breadth of our land. Our children and our youth engage in competitive play in school, college, on the sand-

lots.

Spectators Play Part of Idols

Everywhere about us, athletic competition teems.

“EVEN WHEN the age for violent exercise has passed, we find

the elders engaging in golf and milder forms of sport.

We have our

stadia, gymnasia and field houses crowded with spectators filled with the spirit of competition, who mentally live and play the part of

their favorites on the field.

“Everywhere in America, we have our people living, acting, participating in sports to win. This has provided for us the element which has been lacking in past civilizations and has prevented the

propensity of decay which peoples

who have attained wealth and

ease heretofore have been afflicted with. “As our fortunate position today has come about by reason of our athletics, so our security for tomorrow will be supported by it.

” ” ”

» ” LJ

“The ‘will to win’ precedes self-preservation, the first law of nature. Without this will, there can be no self-preservation. The much discussed complacency in certain quarters is evidence of the lack of this necessary determination to win. “Let us use our equipment and manpower to make youth strong and conscious that the ‘will to win’ brings reward of accomplishment

of all things in life worth while.

“All of us cannot be champions, but we can have the will to try.”

Give Pass-Out Checks During ‘Interlude’

Jolly Cholly’s Brewers Tame

Tribe Twice

Times Special MILWAUKEE, June 16.— Until the Indians unpacked their bat bags in this brewerytown they were pretty hot. They had won six straight in St. Paul, three in six starts in Minneapolis and three straight in Kansas City. So what happened? Jolly Cholly Grimm's Brewers upped and subjected them to a cool-off bath by taking three out of four, the three coming in a row. The Brewers used the Tribesters as a springboard and have advanced to within one game of the Kansas City league leaders. Incidentally, that double defeat the Brewers handed the Indians last night knocked Gabby Hartnett’s crew out of the first division and they were fifth in the American association standings today one-half game behind fourth-place Louisville. The Colonels edged ahead of the Redskins without playing,

Another Twin Bill Tonight

And now the Tribesters have another double-header booked with the Brewers tonight to end the long series. Bob Logan and Elon Chief Hogsett, veteran southpaws, probably will receive the Tribe mound assignments. ln yesterday’s first game (seven innings by agreement) the Indians were held to three hits by Lanfranconi and were goose-egged, 1 to 0. On the mound for the Redskins was Woodie Rich, who pitched four-hit ball, but Packey Rogers, the former Indian, heat him in the third stanza. i Rogers singled after two down, stole second and scored on Ed Stanky’s single. That was the ball game. The Tribe’s three hits were obtained by McCarthy, Bestudik and Galatzer, The Brewers won the second game, 9 to 8, in 11 innings. It was a free-hitting contest with 30 blows being registered, 14 by the Indians, 16 by the Brewers. Although they didn’t know it at (Continued on Page 15)

Amateurs Move to Broadmoor

Today for 2d 18-Hole Test

By WILLIAM EGGERT

Two hundred and fifty-nine golfers moved over to the Broadmoor Country club today chasing Dick McCreary for the district golf championship after running down a most annoying little white pellet yesterday that wouldn't roll on the fairways and then streaked like lightning on the greens at the Indianapolis Country club. McCreary, Meridian Hillis player who won the 1937 title in a playoff

with Clayton Nichols, was out in 35 and home in 36 yesterday to take a first day lead of two strokes over Dale Morey, Martinsville,

Booming Drives

The 25-year old swinger kept his score one stroke within I. C. C. pat with hooming drives from the tees and excellent fairway attempts. He bogeyed but two holes, the seventh and tenth, shot a birdie on the par 5 No. 8 and equaled par on the remainder of the holes for his 71. McCreary’s card read: PAR OUT ..44434345 4-3 McCreary ..4443435 44-35 PAR IN.4 543443 44-35-70 MCre’y 55434434 4-36-11

Morey Second

Runnerup at the end of the chilly day was Morey. Charles Harter, Speedway, completed the 18- hole layout with a 74. Bracketed at 75 was John David and Bill Reed and grouped at 76 were Henry Kowal, defending champion; Ike OCummings, Dr. J. A. Dillon and Jack Walters. Dick Taylor, Tim David, John McGuire, Ray Jones, Phil Talbot, Clark Espie and Don Ross were tied for the 10th position with T7’s. Kowal, Highland, who won the 1041 54-hole tourney with a 221, missed several approach shots to blow his score. But no one person could complain about his play “going to the dogs.” On the fairways the ball stopped where it landed because of no sun and too much rain. The ground was spongy. The greens told a different story. To sink a putt you almost had to hang it in, they were so fast.

Reed in at 8:45 P. M.

David was the first low shooter whose score was expected to withstand the first day competition. The hard-hitting Chicago defense worker, however, predicted when he (Continued on Page 15)
