By HON C EMM ELL Whirlaway wasn't the object of all the love radiated at the Kentucky derby. There's also the case of Earl Lee Archer, 20-year-old University of Ar kansas sophomore, who saw a "beautiful, blue-eyed "blonde," r engaged her in ' conversation, learned she was from Kansas City but forgot to ask' tier name, lost her, then caught up with her par ents' carbon his motorcycle en route home. He lost her again at St . Louis and appealed to police for help in the search. The only identifi cation he could give, other than "beautiful, blue-eyed, ravenous, wonderful, etc., etc., etc.," was , that there was a Stanford sticker en the can ' i Stanford's student newspaper, 1 learning of the lovesick lad's plight, immediately opened a re search bureau for the express purpose of finding the object of his search. A checkup in the Stanford year book revealed two beautif ul, blue - eyed blondes" from Missouri; following these leads, it was further found that a Mary Helen Linger of 4 West 1st, Kansas City, had resided at a girls -dormitory and that she hadn't missed a Kentucky Derby in nve years. : j So now Archer, who, with a name like that shouldn't re quire Cupid to do his shooting for him, knows where to find his ladylove, who didn't Linger the first time, but whom he hopes will Mary him and never have reason to Linger again. 1 The Greenberg Case. Thousands; of words have been written and spoken in regard to Hank GreenbergY; induction into the army at a net personal loss to him of $49,768 for the year, a less to the Detroit Tigers of the man voted the American league's most valuable player a year ago and a loss to baseball of one of its major characters. Greenberg, himself, said only one thing: "When they want me, I'm ready." selective service must, of course, 4reat all men alike no matter what their station in life. vui it is to be wondered, is it not, if entertainers like Green- Dei g, 11 k e James Stewart of moviedom and like all others of their ilk would not be of more service to their country as enter tainers than as prospective sol diers? When the country is as much In need of financial strength as manpower, would it not be wiser to leave such men as Greenberg ana btewart to provide the worth while entertainment the country needs more at this time than ever before? And, instead""bf taking tnem, take their huge earnings, or at least all of their earnings above an amount sufficient for decent livelihood? Would not their financial contributions be of more value to the country than their man power without considering their value as entertainers at. a time when American may be In greater need than ever be fore of the type of diversion they can give? Gone Forever, Eh? Charles S, (for Seabiscuit, some say) - Howard, the fellow who didn't win the Kentucky Derby but whose ponies have won him scads cf money the past three years, is the same fellow who, in 1912, stood in front of his auto agency and said: "The horse Is gone forever." Sportster Al Stump, of Van c o u v e r. Wash., forecasts that WSC's Billy SewelL Stanford's Frankia Albert and Peter Kmeto vic and Washington's Ernie Steele will be best-in-breed among coast backs next fall . . . Which moves L'usene's Dick Strite to retort: Sport Sparks V ALm VW . texixii THAT HA3 AlWA$ CAUertT YHg "Brother Stump ain't seen noth in' until he gets a glimpse of Jake Flash" Leicht . . Number 13 somehow or other always associates itself with lefthanders In yours sincerely' miad, so hell hand It to Roy Helser in the Senatorial intro duction parade ... Big Roy, who won If and lost ten for oar Solons last season despite a poor start, doesn't of course need much introduction here abouts. ! The sturdy southpaw, who stands 5 - feet -10 and who weighs 180, did his collegiate twirling for Linfield college, did his first pro hitch at Waterloo, Iowa, in 1937 and gained national fame by : pitching the Sflverton Red Sox into the quarterfinals of the 1939 semipro tourney at Wich ita . . Big Roy, who can belt the baseball as well as serve it, has one win already this year, and if he continues to go good for the next month, it is a pretty good bet hell be snapped up before he can finish the. season with the Solons. !
