She supped a soft warm arm under his neck and put the other over his chest, and held him tightly. She seemed to understand. Mr. Winkle was ashamed that she did, but greatly comforted, too. The President of the United States. To Wilbert George Winkle, Greeting: Having submitted your- self to a local board composed of your neighbors for the purpose of determining your availability for training and service in the armed forces of the United States, you are hereby notified that you have now been selected for training and serv-ice in the Army. Mr. Winkle had never before re-ceived a communication from the President. Following his prominent newspa-per appearance and the gathering of the people of Maple Avenue, he would look very foolish indeed if he were turned down and returned home after being sent to the Induc-tion Center. He understood that, even though accepted, he had the privilege of returning home for a week to put his affairs in order before leaving again for good. But his fellow draftees had all announced their In-tention of waiving the week's fur-lough, and now he followed suit. He had heard the jokes to the ef-fect that if you could breathe or were warm, the Army would ac-cept you, and though he didn't like to believe them, he prepared for going away and staying away. As a precaution against a drastic circumstance, Mr. Winkle made his will, a ceremony that not even Pe-nelope regarded as a happy one. He finished the few jobs he had in the shop and would take no more. He packed away his tools in grease and oil, and tacked up heavy pa- - THIS FAK: rony-.uur-I"- ', Winkle, who l the pro-- f Ural repair shop In Wi nU home, Is notified that he Is In He doctor who exam-Co- t bis dyspen-'illnes-s and hi. the had news to bis ''""to work without kiss-'- TM next day a news-- : call, on him at hi. piier 3a, Hi Pp,"re' WhlCh me front pace under the kle Proud to FiBht."

Re could make no more of Mr. Winkle beinR drafted along with him than Mr Winkle could make of Jack being selected along with him. Mr Win We wished that the boy wouldn't be quite so respectful. More people came. Thev chat- tered and gazed curiously at Mrs Winkle, as if they couldn't believe what their eyes saw nor what their ears heard. Some of them were earnest about Mr. Winkle's predica- ment, some wondered, and others were amused. Mr. Winkle liked the last least of all. He didn't see why people should laugh at him. Mr. Wescott, their next-doo- r neigh- bor, a rather pompous individual, cornered Mr. Winkle and stated "If you're the kind of soldier we're go-ing to have, God help us." He stared at Mr. Winkle as if to ask him how he ever got himself into this. Mr. Winkle didn't think this was very patriotic. Mr. Wescott, who was prone to tell anybody all about how anything was conducted, and who could well alToid to inform Mr. Winkle about his fu-ture because he was over forty-fiv- e and not subject to military duty, went on to say, "Of course, you know they won't use you as a com-batant." "You don't think so?" Mr. Winkle asked hopefully. "Think it out for yourself, man," Mr. Wescott lectured. "They'll have enough young fellows to do the actu-al fighting. They want men in their proper places, according to their abilities. That's why they're calling you in the first place, so you can release a fighting man to fight." Mr. Winkle was encouraged. "They won't waste you as a kil-ler," Mr. Wescott assured him. Mr. Winkle didn't know whether to feel flattered or insulted. His neighbor looked at him criti-cally, as if gauging him for the first time. "You wouldn't be any good, anyway. They'll use you in some kind of mechanical work." "Well," said Mr. Winkle, "I could handle that." His courage took hold of him at this talk. "But, under-stand me, if I thought I was capable of using a gun, I'd do it anywhere they say." "No, sir," Mr. Wescott went on, "you'll never see active service. I can tell you that. You don't have to worry about that for a minute." Mr. Winkle ceased to worry, but only for the allowed minute, for Mr. Wescott then looked thoughtful and amended, "Of course, men of your age are being used for combat in all the other armies, and if things get to that stage with us, I suppose you've got to consider that you might have to do a little shooting or bayonet work." When it was time for their visitors to leave, they shook Mr. Winkle's hand as if bidding him goodby be-fore he went into action. Mrs. 's tears had dried, but her perturbation remained. She plead-ed of Mr. Winkle, "You'll look after Jack, won't you?" Mr. Winkle, despite all his timidity and ineffectual outer character, could appreciate the humor in a situ-ation. "I think," he said, "Jack ought to look after me." He and Jack glanced at each oth-er, and both smiled. The condemned men had at least that mutual un-derstanding. It was nearly eleven before the last of the guests left. Penelope came out from the corner where she had sulked all evening at the inva-sion of her own peaceful life. Mr. Winkle, out of habit, took her to the back yard. When he came in again he started for the radio, to turn it on for the nightly war news broadcast he usu-ally favored. Then he stopped and Smrn i ill mjm lit said in answer to her estion. "like taking two dyspepsia." He fum-Poek- et for his pills and t out. are coming in to-- 1 Winkle revealed as she Set dinner.

Mrs. Winkle began to speak a? if she were the same person as of before this morning. But she caught herself and then said merely, "Oh." Mr. Winkle felt like pinching him-self to be sure he was awake and that this was Amy showing such tact and consideration. He smiled a little, but not so she could see him, and he decided that it was very nice indeed to have her this way. They went upstairs and there, while they prepared themselves for the night. Mrs. Winkle commented in a small voice that seemed to in-dicate she had other things to say them, "It was a but couldn't say nice party, wasn't it?" "Except," said Mr. Winkle, I don't see exactly why it was held." Mr Winkle found his imagination running away with itself until his mind was possessed of a nightmare. He saw himself packed into a transport. He had seen pic-tures troop of how it was done. The of another in many bunks, one on top tiers, with only a narrow aisle made the men look like sar-dines. Across the ocean the ship Throbbed. And then in toj n;ght The there was a dull, jarring ship shuddered.

In its place, over the doors, he placed a small sign saying, "Closed." He reflected that people who didn't know his establishment wouldn't know what was closed because he had taken in the other sign, but finally decided that this didn't mat-ter in the least. He was ready to leave. The evening before his departure he investigated the bag Amy had packed for him and brought down-stairs. In it she had put those few articles listed in a pamphlet Mr. Winkle had purchased at a news-stand for guidance. "Travel light, Mr. Selectee," this advised. "Don't load up with bag-gage because you won't have any use for it. Tho Army is going to clothe you, Mr. Selectee, complete to underwear, "cks and handker-chiefs." Only on one point had Mrs. Win-kle deviated from the instructions. Upon examining her packing, Mr. Winkle found that she had included his rubbers. He now took them out. Firmly, showing a spark of her old spirit, Mrs. Winkle put thero back again, rewrapping them in the tissue paper he stripped away. "With the rubber shortage," she said, "the Army may not ave a pair for ev-ery man." "I don't think they have rubbers in the Army," Mr-- Winkle protested. "They won't let me wear them."

McKesson THE United States, for many years, has led the world in com-- j petitive sport. And yet the United States has dropped far behind in the matter of physical fitness when com-pared to many other nations. This country has given entirely too much attention to Improving the winning ability or Its stars. Little regard has been given the great mass that actually need training and eonditloning. But these millions are neglected because they have little to contribute In the way of football, HnB4hnll nr nlhpp Grantland Riee "Ports wnllh bsorb most of the public's attention through newspaper head- - lines and through the paying turn-stiles. Entirely too much training and developing attention has been given to those who need this least. We see where Lieut. Col. Donald j G. Storck of the army air corps, one of West Point's finest athletes and a man of broad understanding, is now in charge of the new physical training branch for the army air forces. the navy has turned In a much better job along these lines than the army has even approached. Under the direction of such men as Commanders Hamilton, Wickhorst and Gene Tunney, to mention only a few, navy has done the best it could to help build up this country's youth that, along average lines, was in sad need of such training help. For after all, the physical develop-ment of the many is far more im-portant than the championship form of the few who are already fit and ready. Colonel Storck has outlined a plan which applies both to the physical and competitive side, building up the fiber of legs, arms and bodies, plus contact games that teach one to think quickly in action. It is a fine plan and is sure to accomplish a world of good. IIoiv About Younger Set? In the meanwhile, who is to look after the training and development of the younger boys, those between the ages of 12 and 16? This group is well below the draft age so their :ondition is not a military problem, nd yet this Is the time such help 's needed more than ever. Many of these boys get some sort it a chance to build up their bodies nd their competitive mental atti-tudes at various prep schools and boys' clubs, but this list Is in a heavy minority. There are mil-lin-who get no such opportunities. As a result the majority of our youngsters are well below the aver-ages of many other countries. Returning officers and enlisted men from Australia will tell you the average Australian or New Zealand kid gets much better service of this sort than we give over here. We need far more trainers, coaches and instructors in every section of the country. When 100,000 boys around 18 years old are drafted and some 25,000 are found to be physically unfit for serv-ice, you get a general idea of our present poor conditioning program for those who need the right train-ing more than any one else. I should say that less than 50,000 boys out of 100,000 are up to the physical standards they should know at 18. Boys of 10 should do a lot more walking, running, jumping and swimming than they do not in com-petition, but in the way of exer-cises needed to give them the right foundation for future living. Tuo Leading Examples Looking over the map, it is my guess that the high school students of Texas and Oklahoma are given the best chance for development on both the physical and competitive side. No wonder so many football, baseball and track stars come out of Texas and the southwest in gen-eral. Texas and a big portion of the southwest will shortly be getting much larger dividends than any oth-er section of the country from a saner use of their youth power. Con-ditions in the larger cities of the country are deplorable where so many millions of kids between 10 and 18 years old are involved. These youngsters rarely have any chance at all to find tha physical fiber so badly needed later on. And the depressing point is that so few of the older people seem to care. Sports on the Home Front Many promoters tell us about the way England is handling sport. I wonder if they know that while England and Scotland are carrying on, almost the entire proceeds are given to the Red Cvoss or some war fund? There is no sporting clean-u- p In Great Britain. There are no pro-moters collecting important money, from the testimony that I get. There are no stars raking in rich purses, whatever the game. Ipeaking jpofogj Released by Weatern Newspaper Union. A LTHOUGH night baseball has been the most important factor in keeping the game alive during wartime, there are still a few un-believers in the major league cir-cuits. Ed Barrow, president of the New York Yankees, has little enthusiasm for the vesper version. According to columnist Dan Parker, he cooled oft on the proposition almost a half cen- - tury ago when his Paterson, N. J., club of the Atlantic league, starring one Honus Wagner, took part in the first professional ball game under arc lights at Wilmington, Del. It was back In 1896. about the first of July. And, according to Parker, "In the flickering blue light of car. bon-stk-- k arc lamps, the first night game In organized baseball ran Into trouble soon after It got under way when the rival pitcher, titeanted up by Barrow to play a practical Joke on Wagner, substituted a Fourth of July torpedo for the ball the first time bow-legge- d Honus came up to bat. "Honus took a toehold for his cut and met the paper-covere- d bag of A , xak. gunpowder flush on the detonator, caus-ing such an ex-plosion that the game broke up in a riot. Ed thought night baseball was a snare and a de-lusion then and he still sticks to his belief, although he Honus Wagner waverea a on mis spring when the Yanks slumped both in attendance and in the league standing. He said: Change of Heart " 'Under certain conditions, I wouldn't be too opposed to night baseball. But what good would it do me to change my mind this year when we couldn't install equip-ment for night games even If we wanted to?' " ' It wasn't so long ago that Clark Griffith was a determined opponent of the night game. But the situntion has changed. Mr. Griffith is one of the most radical advocates of the electrically-lighte- d sport. There's a good reason for Grif-fith's change of heart. Washington is glutted with federal employes who couldn't take time off for an after-noon game. They did want baseball, but had to have it In the cool of the evening. Logic! and business acu-men dictated the answer to Grif-fith. Washington now is the night baseball center of the . major leagues. Griffith has permission to play as many night games as he de- - sires, except on Sundays or holi-days. Many changes have come to pass during the past 12 years. Of the 15 major league clubs, all but 5 have facilities for night baseball. Those 5 fields remaining in the dark are Fenway park and Braves field in Boston, Wrigley field In Chicago, Briggs stadium In De-troit and the Yankee stadium In New York. These parks couldn't In-stall the powerful batteries of lights on their steel towers now if they wanted to, because, even though the ban on such construction was lifted not long ago, the material required isn't likely to be available until aft-er the war. The Evidence Not that General Electric will go Into rhapsodies, but we're in favor of night ball. Joe Doakes, the boy who helps turn out materials for war, deserves a break. He probably likes baseball. But he can't knock off the job Thursday afternoon to Night baseball provides the answer. Joe can see the game. He is happy. And Joe, multiplied a few hundred thousand times, makes the baseball club treasurer happy. The case of the Southern associ-ation Is proof of the value of the night game. This One organization practically owes Its existence to Mr. Edison's Incandescent lamp. All games except those on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays are played at night in Billy Evans circuit. Evans wasn't wild about tiight baseball when he resigned from the Boston Red Sox and took over the presidency of the association. It didn't take him long to find out that the lights made the difference be-tween black and red in the ledger. Association cities which formerly at-tracted 300 on week days now draw 3,000 in the hush of the evening. The preponderance of evidence favors night ball. The situation is likely to continue.
