SjHEN WILL IT END? By the "it" we refer to the common delight
taken by certain sports writers in pushing a man's teeth down
his throat, and then kicking him for mumbling. Sounds a bit blood-
thirsty, but it so happens to be fact.
Let's consider the Bob Feller "incident," for example. Since
1928 we've read sport work by some of the greatest artists ever
to beat a typewriter, Heywood Broun, Ring Lardner, John Kieran,
Westbrook Pegler, Damon Runyon, and others too numerous to
mention.
Now the one outstanding characteristic of this select group was
tolerance. It would appear that '_---

some of the group of sport au-
thorities (and I use the term
loosely) now in operation have
forgotten what the word means.
The other night there was
published in the local paper one
of the most unwarranted, scath-
ing, and vitriolic blasts at an
athlete we've ever had the dis-
taste to read. The writer who
levelled his 'verbal fusillade at
Feller is a feature man for a
national wire service and is or-'
dinarily cited as an authority-
not only in sports, but in simple
good manners. But somebody's
mixed up.
We get a little -boreG wath the
yearly tales of Bob Feller's being
through. Sportsmen the country
over have reported this each year
for the last decade. Feller is very
deceptive. When he's bad he's
worse than the worst ham-and-
egger who ever held a baseball.
But when he's good, he's a joy
to behold. The funny part is that
he can be horrendous one day and
the best in the game the following
day.
Since the Van Meter fire-baller
hit the big leagues by striking out
eight Cardinals in three innings
in 1936, a certain group of hacks
have been hounding him unmerci-
fully.
FIRST, HE WAS just a big dumb
farmer to the metropolitan
journalists. Then he was a hay-
seed with nothing between his
ears but Iowa climate. They even
made sport of the fact that the
kid had never slept on a train in
his life and experienced some diffi-
culty with the complexities of an.
upper berth. A major crime.
Well, as we know, the kid
stopped 'em cold. But this group
of nonentities didn't stop there.
When he struck out 15 Browns
in his first major league start-
ing assignment, he was just a
flash-in-the-pan. When he tied
the American League strikeout
mark a few months later fan-
ning 17 Athletics, he was still a
flash-in-the-pan. As a matter of
fact they didn't relent until he
had beaten the mark by whiffing
18 Tigers the next season. Just a
bum.
Then in 1940, when, on opening
day he set the White Sox down
without a hit, they relented fur-
ther and declared he wasn't a bad
pitcher. Of course, in 1939 he only
had a 24-9 record. He was an old
man of 21 then.
But Bobby joined the Navy later
and was gone for four years. Ap-
parently the reporters with the
short memories forgot about his
past achievements. In 1945 when
he returned, after a four-year lay-
off, the first game he pitched was'
a four-hit shackling of the Detroit
Tigers, the team that was to win
the pennant that year. He also
struck out twelve in that contest.
But memories are short and
when the next year rolled
around the heckling started
again. Feller won his first, then
dropped his next two starts by
the extremely lopsided margins
of 3-2 and 4-0. That was all the
second-guessers needed. "Feller
is through." That was the phrase
that roiled off their typewriters.
Just a bum.
Yeah, but again the kid
from the farm made them eat
their words. And this time he
threw the baseball down their
throats-as he hurled the second
no-hitter of his short career and
this time against the "invincible"
-New York Yankees. All he
did for the remainder of that year
was pitch his eighth one-hit game
and set an all-time strikeout rec-
ord of 348 beating Rube Waddell's
mark by 5. His record for the
year was a 'mediocre' 26-15. Sure
he lost 15, but he played with a
sixth-place club.
So this year, the wolves are at it
again. Feller started with a two-
hitter but since then has had his
troubles. His record at this writ-
ing is 9-9. Not good for Feller, but
he's had slumps before.
All the kid's ever done in base-
ball is pitch two no-hitters, ten
one-hitters, the record by the
way, break the single game
strikeout record, and smash a
forty-year-old mark for a new
season strikeout record. That's
all. Coupled with this is his
lifetimetotal, whichtis now 167
wins and 92 losses. In 6 full sea-
sons and three fragments he
has struck out over 1,900 men.
Sure, he stinks.
However, Feller doesn't have to
defend himself against this relent-
less razzing-all he has to do is.
Iand his attackers a record book.
(Special to The Daily)
Charlie F o n vi II e, unofficial
world's record holder in the shot
put, Herb Barten, star Michigan
middle distance man and Erkki
Koutonen, a relative unknown who
insiders say may cop aplace on
the U. S. Hop Step and Jump
team, left Ann Arbor today.
Trials To Start Tonight
The three Michigan trackmen
are bound for Evanston, Ill. in or-
der to enter the 2 day Olympic
trials to be held at Dyche Sta-
dium starting tonight.
Fonville has been resting a
strained back the past 10 days but
is considered ready to make a
king-sized effort again , and
though he is not expected to equal
or closely approach his world mark
of 58 feet three eighths inch, ob-
servers feel he'll easily best the
Evanston field.
Barten Qualified in 2 Events
Barten is qualified in both the
800 meter and 1,500 meter events
by virtue of top notch perform-
ances in the recent NCAA and
AAU meets. But he will probably
try only the shorter distance with
the long one for a safeguard.
