Editorial Correspondence
Con Wonoiuvt Msirph 1 ft
the "unusual weather" in the Bay area recently is the following
headline on the first page of the San Francisco Examiner, quote:
"Sunshine Duo Today.
"But Hew Storm Near." '
"Sunshine due today" rates a PAGE 1 LEAD, in San Fran
cisco! "SUNNY California!" (Florida papers please copy.)
a e
And the payoff is the sunshine never showed up, but the
"new storm" did!
There was a sufficient lull in the storm to take in the baseball
game between the Seals and the Cleveland Indians. Some idea
of the temperature prevailing there may be gleaned from the
fact that instead of selling ice-cold beer and Coke as per usual, the
"boys in white" sold hot-dogs, hot soup, and coffee also hot
Everyone who had an overcoat had it on and buttoned up, while
tne gals who had furs wore them for comfort not display. Under
the circumstances the type of baseball displayed was surprisingly
good.
a a a
The Indians put on their super pitching staff including the
two "Bobs" Feller and Lemon. (We saw the latter play some good
golf at Pebble Beach in January the Bing Crosby excursion, also
in the rain.) Feller has a terrific
athletes, never seemed to be over-exerting himself, he was grace
and relaxation personified. Lemon, the exact reverse tense,
nervous, highly-strung but what
he gets it in there. And he got it in
do a thing the three innings he
scratch hit.
Feller gave up one hit and Dickey, the third Indian hurler,
four. The final score was 4 to 3 in favor of Cleveland, and the fans
present, showed signs of being all cheered up over such a Seal
showing against one of the strongest ball clubs in the country.
Which is OK, but our idea
is much the same as box-fight .exhibitions, like the recent ' Sugar
Ray" Robinson-"Bobo" Olson affair. They don't mean a thing as
far as any serious ratings are concerned, and those who take
them seriously are merely easy-marks.
The Cleveland Indians were not playing to win, but to perfect
their techniques it was not performance, it was practice.
So don't play "Sugar" short until you see him risk his title
against stiff competition; and don't judge Cleveland, until the re
sult means something in the pennant race, and something both
to prestige and profits.
Which brings us, naturally, to an article on baseball in the
current "Life" by one of the greatest baseball players in history
Ty Cobb. The outspoken and fearless "Ty" maintains, quote:
"They don't play, baseball anymore." (Not the sort of baseball
HE played in the good old days, at least.) And in the writer's judg
ment, Cobb is 100 per cent right. Nor do they box-fight as they
did in John L. Sullivan's day; nor play football as they did in the
days of Hinkey of Yale or Haughton of Harvard.
Why? Because American sports have come of age, so to speak,
have matured; players are no longer so eager to live and die just
fur dear old Rutgers. They vant to do their best, of course, but
the game is only a game, it isn't as it was in Ty Cobb's day
each day in every way a life or death crisis.
i
In other words, Uncle Sam's mood has changed. With greater
maturity, a better balanced perspective has been obtained. This
is not only true of sports but of life. To say "they don't play Ty
Cobb's baseball anymore" does not necessarily mean they don't
play good baseball. It is merely different baseball. When it comes
to zeal and 100 per cent effort, there is no substitute for youth.
You can't have your cake and eat it too you can't come of age
and also have the fire and dash and RECKLESSNESS, especially
the recklessness the abandon of YOUTH.
A couple of subsequent events brought this same idea Into
sharp relief. No. 1: the Golden Gloves trials at "Winterland"
where we saw the Ice Follies two or three years ago. In sharp
contrast to the "Sugar Ray" exhibition, HERE was "flaming
youth", released and unconfined. The contestants were mere kids,
black and white, and- they didn't get a dime for their efforts, but
how they worked! ,
THEY were fighting for "dear old Rutgers" a place on the
coast team to the Chicago finals and the sky was the limit. From
the first gong to the last they were in there to win or else! And
to half of them, of course, it was "or else." But that never bothered
one of them win, lose or draw they were in there to give every
thing they had, and if they had to accept defeat OK. THAT was
THAT their hopes of a trip to Chicago for-free was out, but
while beaten they WEREN'T disgraced.

Babson Talks on Lent
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., March 21
(Special to Mail Tribune) This
is Lent Millions of people
throughout the
world. Catho
lics, Protes
tants and oth
ers keep Lent
In fact, the
"keeping of
Lent" is partly
based on Old
Testament He
brew. fasting
periods. The
The Lenten sea
son is a good
time to ask, "What is wrong
with the world and ourselves?"
Lent is an old Anglo-Saxon
word meaning "spring." The con
nection is obvious the com
memoration comes in the spring;
therefore the name "spring" is
given, which is Lent. But there
is still another and better con
nection. Spring is the time of re
newal of the earth, the promise
of the soil. So Lent is a tune
for the renewal of the Spirit
Lent calls us to consider Re
ligious Faith as the needed driv-1
ine force of our existence, uesus
in whose name Lent is now
honored was unconventional
and uncompromising. He preach
ed repentance and forgiveness.
He prayed intensively; not habit
prayers, but prayers springing
from deep inner impulses. Jesus
demanded of His followers
that they lead a life of service
and self-sacrifice. His one prin
ciple of action was that men
love one another; His creed was
His belief in the intrinsic worth
of every human being. The thing
that set Jesus so completely
apart from men of all time was
His deep-seated spiritual faith in
God and the ultimate goodness
of man. Every devoted Jew
agrees to this.
Is It Something To Guido
A Presidential Caadidsie?
The most important question
today should be this: "Is Jesus'
religion something we can live
by? Is it worth rerj reduction?
Is it something to guide a Presi
dential Candidate?" A lot of peo

Did you ever hear your own

it was a shock the first time. I

are played back to us. we hear
them with the OUTER EAR,

Gen. MacArthur Looms
As Compromise GOP
Presidential
By LYLE C WILSON
Washington U.R) Gen. Doug
las MacArthur is the man most
discussed here as a compromise
presidential candidate if Taft
and Eisenhower forces deadlock
the Republican national conven
tion. Some of the top Republicans
in town are convinced MacAr-
khur will be nominated The gen
eral, himself, disclaims presiden
tial ambitions. He has arked that
his name be kept out of presi
dential primaries, and in New
Hampshire he counselled his
friends to support Sen. Robert
A. Taft, R.O.
Talks Like Candidate
So, MacArthur is not acting
like a candidate. But he talks
like a candidate. In a series of
speeches since President Truman
fired him from Far Eastern com
mand, MacArthur has blistered
the administration. He is against
the President's methods, foreign
and domestic. MacArthur will
continue his' anti-Truman cam
paign Saturday in a speech be
fore a joint session of tne Missis
sippi legislature.
A Taft-Eisenhower convention
deadlock is far from impossible.
Before the presidential primaries
began Taft generally was judged
to be far out in front in the race
for Republican presidential nom
ination. New Hampshire and
Minnesota primary returns have
established Gen. Dwight D. Eis
enhower as a strong candidate.

$10,000,000 Goal
To the Editor: In days like
these, when people quite gen
erally are hesitant to commit
themselves too deeply, it is
heartening to see 1,211,000 com
municant members of the Lu
theran Church Missouri Synod
undertake a project such as their
current "Conquest for Christ .
Under this banner, the Lutheran
Church hopes to raise more than
10 million dollars to further a
program of missions and edu
cation. . .
In days like these when state
of union messages concern them
selves with "perilous times" and
billions of dollars are spent on
bolstering an "active" defense
in the hope of salvaging a
shredded peace on earth, these
Christians are looking forward
in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
with an eye to say more clearly
than ever to more people than
ever that in the good news of
forgiveness of sins through
Christ, men may know "the
peace which passes all under
standing." This undertaking . represents
one of the greatest united efforts
of this Church body in its 105
year history. To reach the goal
of a minimum 10 million dollars,
the members will be called on
to sacrifice for Christ. Feeling is
high among the leaders of the
Church body that the collection
will far exceed the minimum.
We hope that in days like these
there will be enough Christians
in this group who are ready
willingly to sacrifice of their
own for the salvaging of human
beings, rather than spending
sums unwillingly for the destruc
tion of people.

ence response when he bore
down on the virtues of Taft and,
also, when he let go in praise of
Eisenhower. He got less reaction
with Warren and Stassen.
But the crowds were triggered
tor MacArthur's name. They
whooped and hollered and the
speaker was much impressed. So
are his fellow politicians who
are saying now that reports from
all parts of the country agree
there is crowd magic in Mac
Arthur's name. That's the stuff
votes are made of. '

Ever since I was big enough to
chew the ears of my granddad's
boots, I have heard about our
free country and government,
and how this government is by
the people and for the people. If
this is true, why don't -the peo
ple, who do all the crying and
yelling about high taxes and in
flation and the stalemate in Ko
rea, exercise their rights as free
people and bosses of their gov
ernment by informing the con
gressmen and president that they
don't like all of these things and
tell 'em to change 'em. It is very
easy to do. Instead of crying their
eyes out they could just sit down,
they don't even have to stand
up, and write just one line to
these gentlemen.
Say: "I don't like your high
taxes, your inflation, and either
fight in Korea or get off the
stool." Sign your name or if you
don't want to do that just say "a
voter." That's all, you can send
a wire, letter or a two-cent post
card, and if you will all do this
100 per cent I guarantee results
above your highest expectations.
It's so simple, just one line is all
it takes, you didn't know you car
ried so much weight in your
government did you?
This is no joke, folks. You can
do this and it will get results.
Here is another tip if you don't
like high prices. Take the first
week in each month and don't
buy anything but just enough
food to carry you through the
week and lay off everything else.
Do this all over the nation and
here at home, just one week a
month and it will do the trick.
You can lick anything if you try
a little instead of crying and
doing nothing about it
