Thoughts of a Halfback Going to War Poem
A humorous wartime verse contrasts football training with combat to argue that football prepares players for war. It jokes about the roughness of both fields, the line of scrimmage becoming a trench, and the harvest of grit as athletes brace for battle.
Sports Talk on Speaker Cobb Duel and Benny Leonard
The piece weighs on Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb in a bizarre age showdown with Speaker shown aging into peak form. It contrasts Cobb and Speaker ages, careers, and late-blooming vitality, then shifts to Benny Leonard as a rising weight champion and echoes of veteran hitters and pitchers, mixing sports lore with curious opinions. It mentions Red, Matty, McGinnity, Wiltse and Leon K. Jolforas, and riffs on niblicks and farming imagery.
