"She was, so they said, a very high Dutch socialite and had lots of money, which you might guess by how simple and expensive her eve-ning dresses were. In the daytime she wore a beautifully tailored un-iform of one of the woman's volu-nteer organizations. I think she drove a car for the Dutch General Stall. "Meanwhile my job was growing by leaps and jumps. In that hotel dining room you might see General Wavell, the British Commander in Chief, or Admiral Hart, or General Brett, who commanded the United Nations Air Force, or Van Oeyen, the Dutch Commander in Chief. I was circulating among the tables, and my brief case was so crammed with hot information I wouldn't trust it in a checkroom. "There was a feeling of tension. Refugees ha"d been crowding in from Singapore and Sumatra. Now there was a feeling that maybe they'd be crowding out soon. Lots of the na-tives had already left, and those ser-vants who remained you knew were staying only because they were very loyal. But to whom? Maybe to the Dutch. Or maybe to someone else that was why I slept uneasily. Or maybe because the whole outlook for the war was so bad. I realized in the Philippines I had only been lucky, and I might never get out of Java. It was very hot, and In the j distance a thunderstorm was mut-terin- g as it moved toward the city. "Anyway, I'd been lightly asleep for about an hour when a glare awoke me. It wag a flashlight, held very close- -a haze of yellow light coming through the mosquito net-tin- g over my face. But in this haze I could see that the same fist which held the flashlight also held a steel knife, and that its point stuck down into the yellow cone of that flash-light. The other hand was just touch-ing the edge of my pillow. "I gave a yell and dived through that netting like a cat, but the yel-low light instantly winked out, and I was standing there alone in the darkness, while Jacquet rolled out on the other side. He hadn't been as nervous as I, and was sleeping more deeply. But just then a blue lightning flash lit up the room, and by its quick glare I saw the door Into the corridor closing (I was sure I had locked it). But when I got out into the corridor it seemed empty. "Why hadn't he stabbed me? I think because he was surprised to find Jacquet there. One of us would surely have been able to make an outcry. And I thought to myself, 'Well, stranger, for a newcomer you're sure getting Into a lot of things, because you never thought some guy you didn't know and had never bothered would ever try to kill you through mosquito netting in a place called Java.' The brief case was okay." "And the queer thing was," said Margo, "that just at this time the report got back to America that Frank was dead. He'd been killed in a flying accident in Java. I was down in Florida by then, and the only man I could really talk to was Cliff Jensen, an Air Corps boy we had known at March and Albuquer-nn- p nnH later at Morrison Field. iJDUfe you ever saw.

I could real-ly talk to Cliff we understood each other. The rumor that Frank was dead somehow reached Australia, and of course the Air Corps is a small place. In a few days Colonel Truesdell in California heard it from one of the ferry pilots, and a few days later Cliff heard of it. He didn't tell me, because he wasn't quite sure, but some people thought it had really happened. "I could feel the difference. They were looking at me queerly now.

"Except that I knew they were watching me, maybe only out of idle curiosity as I circulated from one table to the other, and kept that brief case leaning against my leg when I sat at my own table. "That hotel certainly wasn't built to keep military secrets. The big high-ceilinge- d bedrooms had only swinging half-doo- like barrooms-op- en to the air above and below. The barefooted native servants looked after them, only I'd catch them slipping in and out of mine at queer times of the day. But I thought I only imagined it.

They never understand. They can't see that what you're anxious about is not the distant future, but this very night. Is he hungry? Must he go out on a mission?

"Praying that everything will be all right during those weeks and months to come scares you it's ask-in- g too much, you're afraid. You just pray he's all right tonight, and isn't wounded, and will get enough sleep, so he'll be strong and alert and have a good chance tomorrow. You don't dare ask more. "Also those strong plump sun-burned men who could leave their business for months to lie around on the Florida sands were very 'real-istic' about the war sure it was all a terrible mess and everything was going to pieces, offering me lots of sympathy. But what had any of them ever done to get us a decent Air Force in the past? Or what good were they or their 'realism' doing anyone now? I liked Cliff's better.

"When we'd first hit Java," said Frank "we'd been full of the offen-sive spirit-s-ure we were going to roll the Japs back off the Philippines onto Formosa with those thousand nlanes which, according to rumor, were coming within three months. The second month was almost up under our now Java was unsteady feet' and we'd so far received about two dozen maybe a few more Forts than that, and seven dive bombers. Hardly fifty planes in all.

J f WE ARE now moving Into field, the fourth dimen. sion. For us It ii the sixth dimen-sion. It Is Mr. Einstein's field of "rela-tivity," as applied to sport. It isn'. complex at all It Is quite simple. It sim-ply means that all things are relative, for the time being. Meaning compari-son. For example, Mike Jacobs had no Lou-I- s, Conn, Gans, Leonard, Nelson, Greb, etc., this last winter and spring, yet Mike had his GrantlandRIce best season. Last fall, football had lost many of Its leading stars to army and navy, yet had one of its big years, col-lege and pro. It was a relative matter of "what was left against what was left." The same thing will happen to baseball and racing this spring and summer. Suppose baseball has lost DIMag-gl- o, Feller, Dickey, Cochrane, Gor-don, Keller, Ted Williams, Mlse, etc. etc.? The game Is still left and the game Is greater than any star. I remember the time they used to ask me what was going to happen to baseball when Wagner, Malhew-so- n, Lajole, Cy Young and Rube Waddell were through. What was going to happen when Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth and Trls Speaker turned In their uniforms? Who would take their places? There Is always someone ready to step into the vacant spot It may be a relative spot, but sport works in the same way the universe works, where all things are relative. The Main Point The main point Is that all games worth while are far greater than any Individual star. For example, baseball, as a game, Is far greater than Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Joe jacKson, Christy Mathewson, Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey, Hans Wagner, Frank Frisch, Bob Feller or anyone else you can name. Football would have been a great Kame minus Jim Thorpe, Bronko Nagurski, Sammy Baugh, Sid Luck-ma- n, Fudga Heffclflnger, the Chi-cago Bears, Notre Dame, and all the high spots you can remember. No Cobbs or Ruths made base-ball. No Notre Dames nor Chicago Bears made football. No Bobby Jones or Walter Hagen or Hajry Vardon made golf. I happen to be a great believer In the game above any individual. When anv Individual is more Impor-- tant than the game, then it isn't the right game. Action, Thrills Still left This, again, is where relativity comes in. In other words, class is only relative with class. There can still be action, entertainment and a real contest where top class Is miss-ing- . I agree with my old friend, now dead, one of the greatest competi-tors and one of the greatest sports-men I have ever known. The nam is Devereaux Milburn, the g star. "It is the contest and the hard close competition that makes every game worthwhile," Dev said. "I get more of a thrill In being beaten In a tough, hard, close scrap than I ever get In winning a walk-over or a runaway. To me it Is the game, the contest, that counts and not so much the final score. I know this sounds like hokum. I like the sort of scrap where yon have U give everything you have In ordei to win. I still say it Is more fun t lose In that type of contest than it Is to win agaiius i 1 I. .n.,L uui-vw- b rr1 tlon." Milburn was exactly 100 per cen right, as he usually was. Winning, of course, is an important factor. But it isn't everything in sport. We have planted too much Impor tance on Individual stars, too mud importance on winning, over the greater values that come directly from the game Itself. Who, after all, could ever compare Louis and Dempsey, Corbett and Tunney, Grange and Thorpe, Rutfc and Cobb, Vardon and Jones? II can't be done. For there is a rela-tive angle that most people over-look. Time, equipment, training and many other details. Decades and conditions are aL relative. Baseball, minus its many stars, can still have a more inter-esting season than it has known for a long time. Those Setvell Boys Those Sewell boys from Alabama have done all right, one way and another. First there was Josepr Wheeler Sewell and his kid brothel Luke Sewell, from Titus, Ala. Thei there was Rip Sewell from Decatur Ala. Joe Sewell stepped from a few months in the minors to help Cleve land win a world series and then g along to set a new record for con secutive games played, up to the Loi Gehrig era. Released by Western Newspaper Union. FEW men in the athletic spotlight have as great or as personal an interest in the present war as Chick Evans, perennial amateur of Ameri-can golf. Scattered throughout the fighting fronts are 45 former cad-dies whom Chick is proud to call "my boys." Chick's great Interest stems from the fact that all of these young men ' I jLk.. L.iZ are members or a group known as the Evans Schol-ars at Northwest-ern university, In Evanston, 111. They received their chance to go to college as the result of an Idea a caddy had back In 1916. Chick Evans " in that year that a thin, energetic youngster by tine name of Chick Evans made golfing history by winning both the national amateur and national open championships. The youngster from Chicago re-ceived plenty of offers to turn pro-fessional and cash in on his new-found popularity. But the get-ric- h- . I I 1 .' 1 1 1 quiCH plans uiun l appeal to uuu. He wanted to remain in the amateur ranks. But Evans did accept one offer to make a series of phonograph recordings on golf. The proceeds he turned over to the Western Golf association to establish a fund for "the general advancement of cad dies." For Scholarships Fourteen years later that fund amounted to $12,000 and Evans de-cided to use it to provide scholar-ships for deserving caddies at North-western, his former school. Addi-tional contributions amounting to more than $50,000 have been added to the original sum by the West-ern Golf association. To date 62 cad-dies have been awarded Evans scholarships. The 62 scholarship recipients pro-vide some interesting statistics. Of 23 Evans scholars in college at the start of the war, only three remain. The others are in service. Those remaining include a medical student, an engineer and a 4-- Twenty-fiv- e of those who graduated before Pearl Harbor have joined up. The first two caddies selected for the awards in 1930 are in the service. They are Maj. James McGinnis of the Air Service command In India, and Lieut. Harold Fink of the navy. Golf and the nation profited considerably in 1916 when Chick Ev-ans won that pair of championships The Cardinals Although the St. Louis Cardinals may not enjoy the walkaway which was forecast for them at the begin-ning of the season, they still look like the cream of the National league. The Cardinal shadow is far too dark for the seven other clubs of the circuit In Walker Cooper Manager Billy Southworth has the best catcher in the league. The pitching staff, head-ed by Mort Cooper, Lanier andBrecheen is tops in the Nation-al. Right now the Cards aren't much different from what they were last fall. They have lost a BiJ,y center fielder and a Southwortn second baseman but the replacements are quite a bit above average. Emil Verban, for example, is thought generally to be a better second sacker than Lou Klein, Whom he replaced. A hasty check over the remainder of the league gives you a faint idea of what a slight chance there is for of hp nther teams to compete on anything like even terms. It Isn't likely the draft will riddle the Cardinals to the extent where they will fall prey to another club. They continue to have those class AA farm teams and can continue to draw on them as vacancies arise. Eeplacement likely will be Inferior to the original article but probably better than any substitutes the other teams can pick up. The matter is somewhat unfortu-nate. This is the season where a close scramble for the pennant would help make up for the loss ot so many stars. And, as a final word on the subject, the Cubs are due to make known their possibilities. Don't count them out. Charlie Grimm may change the entire picture. The Cubs have looked bad, but they do have a lot more strength than the records in aicaie.

Elephants Are Finicky And Differ in Appetites The elephant is regarded as omnivorous, yet few animals are more fastidious over their food. Some elephants like oranges, oth-ers refuse them. A few like onions, many dislike them and, when confronted with one, have been known to crush the odoriferous bulb under foot and to return it to the donor with more dispatch than courtesy. Monkeys love eggs, but they must be "new-laid.-" Unlike the curate, they will not accept eggs which are only "good in parts." |
