Merriwell's Courage in Crisis Is Sport's Big Thrill

IMPOSSIBLE
Call it the old Frank Merriwell if you want to, but in the crisis, when a man must either win or lose by a single move, it is most often courage and courage alone that will see it through.
Other players have had it - ever since one day when some old Tarzan of th caves organized the first quoits league - or maybe it duck on the rock or stone tennis.
Billy Evans, American League umpire for 20 years had it in his first game in the big leagues when the hard-boiled veteran, Kid Elberfeld came tearing at him after a close decision at first and the youngster from Youngstown stood his ground and gave the tough Old Kid just as good as he sent.
