love Finds A Way—Four-year-old Judy Ann Goral loves her Grandpa. He's her pal and has spent
angst of his leisure time building her a swing, a playhouse, a merry-go-round and she has for-
gotten how; many toys. So, when he .had to go to the hospital on the eve of his 62nd birthday,
Judy was upset. She tried many times to visit him, but her age barred her. Finally she .went
•.home and, with an assist from her mother, worked out her inspiration. With it she rushed back
to the hospital and, as seen at right, was able fio wish him a happy birthday after all. Looking
down at her from the hospital -room window Grandpa said: "That's my girl."
River of Grass
There are no other Everglades in
the world.
They are, they have always been,
,eine of the unique regions of the
earth, remote, never wholly known.
Nothing anywhere else is like
them, their vast glittering open-
ness, wider than the enormous
visible round of the horizon, the
racing free saltness and sweetness
of their massive winds, under the
dazzling blue heights of space.
They are unique also in the sim-
plicity, the diversity, the related
harmony of the forms of life they
enclose. The miracle of the light
pours over the green and brown
expanse, of saw grass and of water,
shining and slow-moving below, the
grass and•water that is the meaning
and the central fact of• the Ever-
glades of Florida. It is a river of
grass..... -
The English from the Bahamas,
charting the Florida coasts in the
early seventeen hundreds, had no
very clear idea of 'then: Gerard de
flrahm, the surveyor, may have
gone up some of the east -coast
rivers and stared out on that end-
less, watery bright expanse, for on
his neap he called them "River
Glades." But on the later English
maps "River" becomes "Ever," so
it is hard to tell what he in+ended.
The present name came into
general use only after the acquisi-
tion of Florida from Spain in 1819
by the United State?. The Turner
map of 1823 was the f.e.e to use the
word "Everglades." ' ' '
The word "glade" is of the oldest
English origin. It comes from the
Anglo-Saxon (glaed," with thte
"as" diphthong, shortened to "gla."
(t meant "shining" or "bridge,"
perhaps as of water. The same
word was used in the Scandinavian
languages for "a clear place in the
;Icy, a bright' streak or patch of
tight," as Webster's International•
Dictionary gives it.
But most dictionaries nowadays
tad a definition of them with the
snaiifying phrase, "as of the Flor-
ida Everglades." So that they have
has become uniquein being their
1,wn, and only, best definition.—
From
efinition:Frorssn "The Everglades: River of
Grass," by Marjory Stoneman
Douglas.
From now on we don't believe
anything we see in public print
is going to surprise or shock us—
no, not even if Colonel Bertie Mc-
Corinick of The Chicago Tribune
should start printing a picture of
King George at his masthead, or
The Toronto Globe and Mail should
hail the Hon. C. D. Howe as the
greatest Canadiai living or dead.
* * *
For, believe it or not, we have
just finished reading an article
in an English journal of wide cir-
culation in which the sacred sport
of CRICKET is most severely
criticised. Cricket, mind you! Why,
that's mutiny, that's what it is! Or
firing on the guards! Or something!
:k * *
Writing about one of the current
Test Matches between South Africa
and England, the author, one Jef-
frey Wyndham, says "The crowds
will go because of the natural at-
tractions of a Test Match and the
knowledge that every player is a
star. But although a five-day gate,
when eventually shared out, may
be a good physic for county trea-
surer's sick balance sheets, these
five-day marathons are ruining
cricket as a spectacle!"
* * *
Fancy that! Ruining cricket,
egad! Wyndarn may be an English
name, but we suspect the man
must be a Sinn Feiner at heart.
.k * *
But that is by no means the
worst. Brother Wyndham is merely
warming up. "Five-day matches are
a modern fetish," he goes on to
say: "They were started because
England and Australia, scared of
losing to each other, declined +o
show boldness in play . . The
only means so far devised of finish-
ing a game was to stretch playing
hours."
* * *
(Here we might say that th

stretching was done to the extent
that instead of getting three sell-
out gates they now grab off five.
Which might be an idea, at that,
for our hockey moguls who object
to playing overtime. When the re-
gulation 60 minutes end in a tie,
tell the customers to kick in with
the price of another admission and.
stop to see the finish.) -
* * *
But back to Brother Wyndham.
"When this happened the first prin-
ciple of cricket was cast aside—
that it's the game, not the result,
that matters. Soon other cricket
playing countries regarded them-
selves as slighted unless they, too;
were given five-day Tests."
* * *
"Five-day Tests are defeating
their own object, They were de-'
vised to bring about results and
maintain interest, avoiding the frus-
tration of a draw. But players have
come to regard them as an exten-
sion of their lease -of the wicket. In-
stead of making sure they finish
the game, they try to stay in as
long as possible."
Now the warm-up is over. Mr.
Wyndham is out of the bull -pen
and starts really flinging. Hearken!
* * *
It may be a grim business for the
player, who is obsessed with the
idea that he is engaged in a life -
or -death struggle for his cricketing
reputation. But spectators who pay
to see a cricket match are not in-
terested in a player's personal am-
bitions. They want to be enter-
tained—after all, they do pay enter-
tainment tax: in their admission
money.
.. :k
Cricket offers either the most
delightful relaxation or the most
boring spectacle. I know one cynic
who frequently declares that coun-
ties are encouraging boring cricket
in the hope that it will drive spec-
tators to drink and so increase the
bar takings!
But not even that excuse will
last much longer. The most patient
will evventually realize that they
can get a cheaper drink outside the
ground and save admission money
as well.
* * :k
At heart, practically every Briton
likes to watch a game of cricket,
whether it is played in the sanctity
of Lord's, the smoke -grimed at-
mosphere of Manchester or Shef-
field, a tree -fringed village green,
or just a bump pitch in a public
park.
But however much he may of-
fend the purists, what he really
wants to see is the ball being hit.
Crack it away to the boundary
and he will raise a cheer; pat it
back to the bowler ,and he re-
mains dumb, or else applauds ironi-
cally. -if he hasn't gone to sleep.
k * rk
It may be hard on the bowler,
but it is the batsman who really
(natters from the spectator's point
of view. Everyone can see what
he does; but even with binoculars
it is sometimes difficult to discover
what type of delivery the bowler
is trying,
Even in the prea box, where
cricket writers are supposed to be
neutral and unbiased, X and my col-
leagues have often breathed a fer-
vent "Thank goodness he's goner
when a particularly stodgy batsman.
has at last been removed.
The crowd go to see runs scored,
or else in the main they won't go
at all. They will applaud the clas-
tic strokes like the majestic off -
drive, the graceful rut, or the al-
most contemptuous pull. But they
villi also applaud a snick through
the slips or a blacksmith's swipe,
* * *
It may be sacrilege to suggest
that the public are mainly inter-
ested in seeing runs scored—but
it is very near the truth. For con-
firmation; look to the prosperous
league club$ in the Midlands and
North, where,: even if small grounds
do make fours easy to get, -the
crowds ; roll up to applaud quick
runs—and make handsome collec-
tions for the man who gets them.
•k * •k
Crowds went to see men like
Hobbs, Woolley and Bradman be-
cause they knew they would score
plenty of runs, and usually get
them quickly. Woolley, from whom,
in the eyes of many small boys,
anything less than a six was a
mishit, was the most graceful bats-
man in modern memory. Hobbs
also was a supreme artist. Brad-
man cared little about the arts,
but he got the runs—and quickly.
We still have Hutton and Comp-
ton, who ate first-rate craftsmen
as well as ground. -filling entertain-
ers.
,k * *
Men like these are rare indeed.
But players with far less talent will
quickly get a crowd -pulling reputa-
tion just by trying to look enthu-
siastic and going for the quqick
singles that so many orthodox
batsmen disdain.
Call it tip -and -run cricket if you
like, but that is my remedy for
cricket's ills. Quick, runs at almost
any cost, even if we have to lower
the standard of batsmanship. As a
lover of- the arts of cricket it is
against my inner wishes to say
so—but rather lively decadence than
a genteel corpse.
There's too much sauntering on
to the field and when changing
positions between overs. Too many
players look bored.
*
The public do not want to wait
five clays to know a match result.
Three should be ample even for
a Test. There may be ways to
enliven cricket by artificial means,
but for a start let's try more keen-
ness and entusia"m among the
players.
A cricket ground is no place for
bored players or bored spectators.
If clubs remember that and act
accordingly they will be a long
way towards solving their problems.
Bu,t s%1 Klein of such a .sad sub-
ject for the time being, More than
sufficient, probably, as we know
that our readers' hearts must have
been wrung, ,even as ours was, at
such a sad tale. Just to think that
there are cricketers who actually
imagine that their personal batting
averages matter a tinker's dam!
just to think that there are cricket
writers who consider that the cash
customer—the guys who keep the
game going—are deserving any
consideration!
Still, if the top brass of cricket
are really worried, we have a
couple or three suggestions to make.
If they really want more and faster
scoring why don't they call strikes
on the batter or bring in the fenc-
es
encees closer to the pia—we mean the
wicket? Better still, why not in-
ject a small amount of rabbit into
the ball?
