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.

U d w tl 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.
