COURAGE NEEDED IN SPORTS
In Baseball, Football and Other Games
Pluck Is Essential to Success
of Player.
A recent writer In this paper In
commenting on the playing of games
mado a statement which ought to be
sot in big type nnd repeated' as often
as possible This was to the effect
that it takes courage to "play tho
game," whatever that may be. A base
ball man In a ball game needs to bo
cool when ho stands close to a baso
reaching for the ball when tho runner
notorious for his "spiking" tactics
comes sliding in to him feet first.
"In any position on any team a
football player must havo courage. It
takes gameness for n runner to crack
on all his speed when ha is about to
bo tackled. It takes courago to dive
Into a runner nnd tackle him. It takes
courage to hit the line, head first, run
ning low and driving like a battering
ram. Tho player who lacks grit will
turn his back and lose force as ho
moots tho resistance and be thrown
back.
"It takes a world of courage to run
tho routo in nn Olympic marathon
race, and to como reeling in over the
last few hundred yards refusing to
drop when naturo's last resources
R'om to have been burned out in ho
long, terrible drive ovor 2G miles.
JU)tB of things take courage Ameri
cans have moro to bo proud of than
mere medal and point winning when
they look over tho performances of
their Olympic nthlotes. Our men are
tho peers of any in tho world." Mil
