To p s y -. tu ra vi y ; Oh - m - h- GuRLT-S Aim'T it a AND GL.O"R r-rious AT T T THE entry of the United States to the war the impression was somehow created that profes sional ball players were slackers. It was an erroneous belief, but it has taken time and effort to break down the opinion. A list of the American League players in service, recently given out by President Johnson, proves the younger league has done its bit, likewise a bulletin by President Heyd ler, of the National League, show the older organization in the same light. The acts of a few have reflected on many. Certain star players for reasons best known to themselves, got Into es sential work, such as shipbuilding or munition making, and escaped the draft, and probably duty in -a front line trench. Thousands of others did the same thing, and in many cases rendered perhaps a greater service to their country than if drafted into the Army. Men from all walks in life. who were in a business which the Government classed as non-essential, did as some of the star players. The ball player is a public character and when some star does something out of the ordinary, on or off the ball field, he is sure to get considerable publicity. I am not saying this as a defense for players who made themselves immune from the draft by getting into an es sential occupation. The fate of such players from a baseball standpoint is in the hands of the club owners to whom they belong, and the dear old public. The point I desire to make is that the professional ball players as a class are not slackers. They have answered the call nobly, and some of the boys have done big things over there, notably Hank Gowdy and Hugh Miller. Not only have the players done their share in putting the skids under Ger many, but American sports as a whole, have been a determining factor In the outcome of the war. It would be a rather broad and strange statement to say sports as indulged in by the French, English, Canadians, Austral ians, Italians, Americans and others won the war, but you can rest assured sport played a worthy part in the suc cess of the allies.- The French are strong supporters of boxing and fen cing. England is strong for soccer, boxing and cricket. In America most any sport that has plenty of action is popular. We have baseball, football of all kinds, hockey, tennis, lacrosse, boxing, wrestling and so on. If you have any doubt as to what many Americans tninK aDOUt sports part in the war, peruse the following excerpts from a letter I recently re ceived from an American officer, who has seen plenty of action at the front, and who is an excellent judge of men and their capabilities: Well. Bill, it is all over, the Ger man entry just couldn't stand a rough ride when we hit the home stretcn. Sports in general and baseball in par ticular, have done a great big bit toward winning the war. The superior pep" and fighting spirits of the Amer ican soldiers, can be traced unerringly to their participation in, and their de votion to sport. The square-heads in Germany have no sports such as base ball, football, wrestling and boxing to teach them how to think fast. The Yanks had it on the Huns from the jumpoff. One Yank was worth about five Germans when it came to doing things. At Chateau Thierry the pro portion was, one Yank worth about 10 Germans. Believe me- when I say the Nation owes a debt to sport."
