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. ,

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."

Gentlemen who get a kick out ol

can not bear to think of a duck being

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.
