PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1933. TO NET DEFAULT IS CALLED WIERD Mrs. Moody's Critics Pos sess Conviction of Neces sity for Fight to Last Ditch in Sporting Events By Also Onuld Associated Press. Seldom has the sometimes weird and Inscrutable American aportlng mind been more weird and Inscrut able than In Its reaction to the per formance of one of tho greatest of all champions, Helen Wills Moody, In de faulting to her California rival, Helen Jacobs, at a moment when the was being quite decisively beaten for the women's tennis crown of the United etates. Critics who seem to possess the conviction It Is necessary to fight every aportlng engagement to the last ditch, at any cost, would have us believe a number of things: First, that Mrs. Moody could not "take It" and preferred defAUlt to certain de feat In the final set; second that she treated her rival, the gallery and the experta unfairly by not attempting to finish the match, merely because ehe felt "faint," or weak; and, last, that she proved women competitors In sport generally cannot be relied upon to the same degree as menl All of which, to me, seems as un reasonable and Inconsistent as any thing the sporting whirl has devel oped In a long time. In the first plsce, only Mrs. Moody was In a po sition to say whether she waa physi cally able to continue. 8he said quite emphatically she was not. Sec ondly, she was already beaten, con clusively even If not completely. Pin ally, If she had simply gone through the motions of completing the set or. If in doing so, she had collapsed com pletely, what further benefit -would have accrued to Mlaa Jacobs or any one else? Demand the Kill It la an old American custom In sports to enjoy what may best be described aa "the kill." It applies to nearly every branch of athletics. If it's a prize-fight, they prefer the bloody or knockout variety. If It's football, they like the old-fashioned "rock 'em and sock 'em" type of game. The wounded get their full share of cheers. The dle-for-dear-pld-Rutgers spirit Is applauded but only to a certain point. When Ernie Schaaf died after his lll-f ated bout with Prlmo Camera, the demand arose to bar so menacing a creature, When fatalities marred the college grldlron'a big games, the sport waa assnlled aa scarcely being worth the risk to the youth of the land. , FALL FROM CITY TREE IS BASIS OF $10,000 CLAIM (Continued Rom Page One.) Roberts, stated that the accident was the result of negligence on the part of the city and had caused the Jones family great distress. That Mrs. Jones waa a young woman, the mother of young children, and has as a result of the accident become paralyzed from the waist down and unable to care for her family. The Injuries, the let ter further seta forth, were sustained while she was In the employ of the city. Due to the absence of City Attorney Parrell, no action relative to the mat ter was taken by the city council. Attorney E. S. Kelly appeared be fore the council last night In the Interests of the ordinance governing the sale of electrical equipment and devices. He aaked that minor changes be made In the ordinance and that It contain an emergency clause, placing It In effect before Christmas season merchandise of Inferior quality Is placed upon the local markets. Welfare Rpare Granted. A request of the Welfare Eichange for space In the city hall waa granted and the exchange will be allowed to use two rooms now vacant. An extensive report of street and road Improvements of the last month, prepared by City Superintendent Scheffel, was read by Councilman Al Llttrell, and showed that manv neo- ple are already using the recently vprneq rounn street crossing. Request from the Veterana of For sign Wars, asking the cltv to walvs the license controlling csrnlvsls, was presented by Councilman 0. C. Darby and refused by the council on the grounds that the last action of that sort brought much criticism of the city dads. Resignation of T. B. Lumaden from the water commission was resd and aoeepted. Mr. Lumaden was recently transferred from this cltv to Hills. boro, making it impossible for him to continue ss a member of the board. Archery Range Granted. Space for a practice ranse on North Central waa granted the local Arch. ry club, when application was pre aented the council, The grant. It was iiuwever aiateo, can be revoked at any time the range proves hazardous to ine cuy. Bids on city property located on East Msln street near the Dressier property, were read by City Recorder M.

The labor boat emphasize that the message of unionism must be carried to all who work In order to "do our part to prevent exploitation by help ing to organize business In the ser vice of all." Back of all thta la a demand on In dustry's part that General Johnson definitely Interpret that portion of the recovery act dealing with tne right of labor to organize and bar gain collectively. The boss of NltA baa done this seve ral times. On each occasion he baa said the law meant exactly what It says and oould not be dodged. The automobile men managed to get a clause In their code giving the privi lege to hire, fire or promote workers regardless of- union affiliations. A formal statement was made by NRA'a labor board that this particular code waa accepted In the face of literal adherence to the law. There Is still a heavy argument between capital and labor. Miss Perkins aaya that "if and when" NBA increases buying power while at the same time providing more Jobs at better wages we shall have negotiated the hurdle. Green says our "greatest responsi bility In the Immediate future la to carry the message of unionism to all who work and to do our part to pre vent exploitation by helping to or ganize business in the service of 811." The battle between Industry and Iflhnr ta milta lntnM. At Lha rUk Of hazarding a guess labor will win this time. Gentlemen who get a kick out ol lying in a chilly duck blind at early dawn on a cold fall day are having their momenta with gentlemen who can not bear to think of a duck being blasted down by a shotgun of any gauge. The time Is approaching for the president's annual proclamation set ting an open season for hunting under the Migratory Bird act. There in lies the story. Somehow or other the antts sneaked a Joker Into the proclamation Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace sent up to President Roosevelt for signature, It sold simply that no birds could be Aliot within a 100-yard radius of where they were fed by human hands. The proclamation thus worded went up to Hyde Park for signature. The hunters got hep to the situation and put In a atlff squawk. As a result the proclamation came back unsigned with a suggestion that a hearing be held to determine relative merits. Bird protectors headed by William T. Homaday, New York, zoologist, ap peared to protect the game fowl In their migration. Thomas H. Beck, fish and game commissioner for Con necticut, and former Senator Harry Hawos of Missouri, led the list of protesting hunters. Prom the latter viewpoint "baiting' or artificial feeding not only Is a common practice among gun clubs, but absolutely necessary if birds en route from Canada to the Southland are to survive. The hunters said 84 per cent of all migratory birds kilted met their Waterloo at the hands of predatory beasts and birds compared to 3 per cent shot down In annual sport. They said also the recent storm and the late drought hod ruined the natural food of the birds. To survive their long Journey they must partake of the wayside hand outs. It's all up to the president again. L KNOCKED OUT IN COAST TOURNEY PORTLAND, Ore- Sept. fl.
