Gunder Heegg, the vaunted Swed- 15h runner, is supposed to be in the United States for goodwill rea- sons, as much as anything else but if that is so, he hasn't made a very good stark. O O First-day interviews revealed that he didn't like New York city, that he didn't like the heat, that he pre- ferred a vacant lot to Columbia University's fine track. In addition, he managed to get in two advance alibis on top of the one already given a gmd play in the papers, viz: sea legs that have set him back so far that he claims he'll need seven weeks’ conditioning to return to top shure- _ _ _ The new alibis are: (l) "I am past my peak. After all. I am 24." (2) He prefers the shorter middle distance to the long-er ones. As to alibi No. 1 this is the first time we've ever heard of anybody‘ but the winner of a baby contest being past his peak at 24; as to ali- bi No. 2, can it be that I-Iaegg is already aware of the fact that Gil Dodds is not nearly as formidable an opponent as the great Greg Rice? Incidentally, Rice will never see 34 again, but we haven't heard him singing any laments yet. Haegg also rays he "will be s sportsman" and compete in at least one race at the National A.A.U. meet. In fact. he is "determined" he will do this. e e Inasmuch as it was this partic- lder meet that was the No. I con- deration in getting him to the tates, and in view of the fact that he had already signified his inten- tion of taking part in it, keeping To greement should be no great e rain on his sportsmanship. A; kg‘ being "determined" to take part. at was determined for him est week when the A.A.U.'s Mr. Ion-is spoke right out and said the Swede had better be there on this articular occasion, or it wouldn't any use showing up on subse- lnnt occasions. He'd find himself der suspension.‘ That Heegg h s great runner and a real champion we have no doubt. a men knocks off victories records as steadily as he has one during the past couple of _ it's no lonlzer a coincidence a fluke. t However. in times like these when anything in the way of genuine in- ternational sportsmanship is to be cultivated. we do think he could have made a more diplomatic en- trance onto tire ‘Amfrican scene. *0 Detroit Tigers. regardless oi surprisingly high standing at moment. are having their ups downs. as witness their three ht losses at Washington over recent week-end. but providing retain the present personnel entirety they _should have ore ups than downs from here in. he reason? Rudy York. The big disn seems to be definitely on the way now. During the past two weeks he has put more than 50 points on his batting average, but what's more important. he has slammed a couple of home-runs to left-field at Griffith stadium, in dicating that he is pulling his shots as of old. If he is. then the Tigers’ biggest problem will be solved. They've been getting their hits- they're second in the league in teem betting-but they haven't been getting around. only littl:- Jimmy Bloodworth coming through with first-class proficiency when men have been on base. They need e. regular long-distance walloper to back up their ‘fin: pitching. True while York is climb! , Pinky Higgins‘ average is falling off. but even a Greenberg-over-York stalwart like yours truly will admit that Rudy, at his best is a much more valuable man than Pinky.
