Billy Hulen Says:
New York Writer
Draw Picture of
Wartime Europe
We are sure that Mr. Dan
Daniel of the New York World
Telegram won't mind if we use
him as our guest columnist to
day, tie shouldn't, because he
has done a piece so touching,
so timely and so patriotic that
everybody in this nation, base
ball fan or not, should have the
opportunity of reading it.
Reprinted in the Sporting
News, we pass it on to you
without comment, for none is
needed. But only with the hope
that the America Mr. Daniel
writes about in the following
may be the pattern of the en
tire world to come, after the
war:
Five minutes in the Stadium.
... 2: S3 o'clock . . . Someone
shouts through the public ad
dress system, "Ladies and gen
tlemen, the national anthem!"
. . . Out of the loud speaker
pour the stirring, yet caressing,
thrilling strains of the hymn of
American independence which
Francis Scott Key composed on
British frigate outside of Balt
imore . . . "Oh, say can you
see, by the dawn's early light."
. . . The spectators are on their
feet, at attention. . . . The play
ers, umpires, stand transfixed,
all eyes on the Star-Spangled
Banner as, slowly, it rises on the
flagpole in center field.
The Maytlme breezes catch
those red and white folds and
they spank out . . . "What so

Longshot Denny
proudly we hailed . ." ... The
flag teems to throw out a mes
sage. Out of the Psalms It
shouts, "Hide not thy face from
me when I am in trouble; in
cline thine ear unto me; in the
day when I call, answer me
speedily."
The blue skies arch ever
the arena in peaceful glory.
... Suddenly, a noise. The
drone of a motor high in the
air. The spectators gase
heavenward, and for the mo
ment Yankee Stadium is a
cathedral, the fans worship
pers in silent thanksgiving.
To a man. to a woman yea.
to a child they have one
thought. "This plane might be
the spearhead of a blits. But
it can't be." Just folks flying
to peaceful Boston, where
Harvard crews would be
gathering at Weld Boat
House, and the Charles would
be matchless today.
"The rockets' red glare.
bombs bursting in air." . . ,
They aren't playing games any
more in the Olympic Stadium
in Berlin, where more than
100,000 persons saw a demon
stratlon of baseball only a few
years back. They are using the
Berlin Stadium for malodorous
rallies and hate-begetting
speeches.
"Gave proof through the
night that our flag was still
there." . . . The cricket fields
at Eton, at Harrow, Rugby,
are drill grounds. No boys
over there any more. Only
men. They should be at their
wickets. "He shall send from
heaven and save me from the
reproach of him that would
swallow me up." . . . They
will play cricket again.
They used to make such
pretty toys in beautiful old
Nuremberg. Now they build
motors for planes. In Oberam
mergau they gave the Passion
Play and Christus once again
went out of Gallllee to utter the
message of Peace on Earth and
good will to men . . . Maytime
in Vienna . . . Men the world
over dreamed of spring on the
Danube . . . They were heiling
on the Prater.
"Whose broad stripes and
bright stars." . . . You think
back to that line . . . The stars
are blacked out over there, and
the broad stripes are lash-marks
on the backs of men in Poland.
. . , Starvation stalks and chil
dren die where the waltzes of
Straus used to be the theme
songs of a gemuettlichkeit
which has fled that world. . . .
They don't play rugby or
cricket on the Lords Club
grounds in London, and Wim
bledon's tennis ghosts look
down on a pock-marked terrain.

baseball this afternoon In
America from coast to coast.
In every city. In every town,
at schools and armys camps.
"O'er the land of the free,

The music dies out. The
crowd sits back and In its heart
It sings, "I love thy rocks and
rills, thy woods and templed

field and the first batter of the

Recognition already has been
given the Philadelphia Athletics
as a late-blooming miracle of
the spring, but the A's should
move over to make room for
the Boston Red Sox.
Today they are up in third
place with a brand-new five
game winning streak and are
only three games behind the
pace-making Cleveland Indians
whom they crushed yesterday
14-1.
It was the worst rout of the
year for the Indians, who didn't
score until the eighth and
wouldn't be in first place today
except that the Athletics took
care of the Chicago White Sox,
9-3.
The Detroit Tigers took a
ragged 8-4 decision from the
New York Yankees in 10 in
nings to complicate the Americ
an league race.
The St. Louis Browns sent
Luke Sewell off to a good start
as manager by whipping the
Washington Senators, 4-2.
Rain washed out the National
league program.

Racin' Ray to Run Against
Klemmer in 400-Meter Race
Compton, Calif., June 6.
W) Featuring keen competition
in the 400-meter and 1500-met
er races among several of the
nation's finest runners, the an
nual Compton Invitational track
and field meet comes off tonight.
Officials, hopeful that world
record might be run in the
quarter-mile, decided to clock
the race at both the 400-meter
and 440-yard marks. The event
is officially set for the metric
distance.
Slated to compete were such
stars as California's Grover
Klemmer, Cliff Bourland of the
University of Southern Califor
nia, Eugene Littler of Nebraska
and James Herbert of New
York. Klemmer has done 46.4
seeonds for 440 while Bourland
has an unofficial relay lap of
45 8 seconds.
The 1500-meter run brings
together Leslie Mac Mitchell of
New York university, Walter
Mehl, former Wisconsin star,
Dick Peter of California, Leroy
Weed of U. S. C, Mushy Girard
of the San Francisco Olympic
club and others. Mac Mitchell
won the IC4A mile last week
and has done 4 minutes 7.4
seconds.
The 100-meter dash attracts a
coterie of far western sprinters,
headed by Hal Davis of Salinas,
while the pole vault shapes up
as a contest between Cornelius 1
Warmerdam and himself. Ab-!

Not mentioned in the above

Regardless of whether John
