BRAVE UEE I do not know what I shall find on out beyond the final fight; I do not know what I shall meet beyond the Inst barrage of night; Nor do I care. But this I know—if I but serve within the fold, And play the game, I'll be prepared for aught the endless years may hold. • • Life is a training camp at best for what may wait beyond the years; A training camp of toiling days and nights that lean to dreams and tears But each may come upon the goal and build his soul above all Fate By holding an unbroken faith and taking Courage for a mate. Is not the fight itself enough that man must look for some behest? Wherein does Failure miss Success if all engaged but give their best? Where does the Victor's call come in for wreath of fame or laurelled brow If one he vanquished fought as well as weaker muscle would allow? If my opponent in the fray should prove to be a stronger foe — Not of his making, but because the Destinies ordained it so — If he should win, and I should lose, although I did my utmost part, Is my reward the less than his if both should strive with equal heart? Brave Life. I hold, is something more than driving upward to the peak; Than smashing madly through the strong, and crashing onward through the weak; I hold the man who makes his fight against the raw game's crushing odds Is braver than his brothers are who hold the favor of the gods. On by the sky line, faint and vague, in that Far Country all must know, No laurel crowns of fame may wait beyond the sunset's fading glow; But life has given me the chance to train and serve within, the fold, To meet the test —and be prepared for all the endless years may hold. THE GHOST OF THE FEDS The Feds have passed on and out —have drifted from the scene. But Fed ghosts still annoy the National League—or at least they still remain to haunt the circuit. Last year Hal Chase led the National League in batting, and Chase was among those who toiled un.der the Fed flag to the last. This was some thing in the nature of a shock. This year Eddie Roush, another Fed, is at the pinnacle, and not so very far below his Fed rival, Benny Kauff, is hanging on in tlfe hope that a be lated drive may parry him to the crest before October. Benny isn't out of the running yet, although Roush holds a command ing lead. It would be a queer turn if Kauff, after all, should come back to lead the circuit and maintain the same place he held in the Fed corral for two campaigns. He has proved at least that he was a .300 hitter, even if he doesn't over take the flying Roush. TENNIS AND GOLF AND THE FRONT Tennis and golf have never been looked upon, as the most rugged of all games, but their contributions to the war in men njd money have been more than imposing. England first set the pace when most of her leading golfers and tennis players responded at once. In the U. S. A. both have come to the front, while tennis, especially, has given a remarkable proportion. In the bourse of the year It isn't unlikely that the two games will turn in $1,000,000 to the Red Cross fund, while the entry list in army and navy life has been heavy. In tennis it includes, among many others, eight or nine out of the first ten. In golf the list embraces such names as Bob Gardner, Max Marston, Frank Blossom, Phil Carter, Ham Kerr, Henry Topping, Ham Gardner, Nelson Whitney and many other names well known to past tournament play. A fact, too, that shouldn't be overlooked is that many thousands who have gone in for tennis an.d golf, but who are not stars, have gone into service. The top-notchcrs draw the headlines, but the others deserve an equal share in the country's praise. THEN AND NOW Three years ago this last June there were, among others, two Inter national stars riding against each other at Meadow Brook for the polo trophy. They were two of the greatest polo players the game has ever known—Cheape, of Englan.d, and Milburn, of America. At that date the shadow of war hadn't formed, although there was a faint haze coming up in the east. Certainly neither at that date had Any thought of what lay on beyond. Since then Cheape has taken his place with Wilding. Norman Hunter and others are among the fallen. And Milburn is ready to start for Platts burg for training as an officer in the new army. According to various rival baseball machines, the early rumor that Walter Johnson was slipping seems to have been a trifle exaggerated. Of late he has continued slipping fast—slipping a fast one around the neck. "Ou the big averages," queries F. D. R., "which counts more in sport ing success —speed or strength?" Quite a large part of it might depend upon whether an entry was running a 100-yard race or tossing the 54-pound weight. "Red a4d White Sox still battle for the lead." What a patriotic race it would be in a three-cornered affair among the Red, White and Blue Sox! Cleveland used to be known as the Blues. Why not re-enter the ancient monicker? Frederick at Hanoyer.
