world's title, in a finish match here

in 40 minutes with a toe hold. Pern
won the second In 8 minutes and 34
seconds with a headloek and Yokel

There was quite a bit of argument
over the first fail the referee claim

floor in token of defeat while Pern
claimed he did not do so.
The match between Pern and Yokel
was of much interest inasmuch as
years ago Yokel claimed tbe middle

□mCB that interesting little
statement of ltene Bucoste after
defeating Horotra In the cover-'
ed court championship in France the
other day? “I didn't know what tennis
was before I entered those Ameri
can tournaments,” he said. Bacoste
really learned more in two months of
playing here than he did in two years
abroad. He admits this.
Flattering as those Lacoste’s re
marks are, there is nothing startling
in the news that America has taught
the outside world something in ath
letics. It’s been doing that for dec
ades. Britain ruled the tennis courts
for years, but America, quick to learn
and persistent In the face'of repeated
defeats, finally mastered. Also it
wrought*new wrinkles for a game
that was supposed to be Inelastic to
new methods of play.
Holcombe Ward introduced the
baffling American twist service, and
later Malcolm D. Whitman brought
cut the reverse twist. It was
America, too, that conceived new
doubles ‘formations, while the ster
ling tchniquc of such players as Rob
ert D. Wrenn, Whitman, Ward, Cloth
ier. Beals Wright, Billy Johnston,
McLaughlin and Tilden has long been
recognized as models of good tennis
form abroad.
Seven successive Olympic tri
umphs speaks in Itself for the per
fection, or something like it, of our
lrack and field athletes.
Nearly all the striking changes in
athletic styles have originated in the
brain of the restless, discontented
merican. It was Sherrill of Yale
who came across the idea of the
crouching start in sprint racing.
The story, has It that Sherrill, who
had taken his orthodox upright post
tlon on the mark, suddenly lost his
balance and lurched forward on his
hands. It being too late to rise again,
Sherrill started the race from the
crouch and found it to be superior
to the erect position.
Jim Mitchell. John Fldnagan andAl
Flaw revolutionized archaic methods
in the weight events. It Is true that
Mitchell and Flanagan were Irishmen
and competed for Great Britain before
coming here. But all of their won
derful athletic performances were
staged in this country, of which they
became citizens.
The old-time hammer thrower stood
stock still when he hurled the mis
sle. Mitchell conceived the Idea of
turning once with the hammer before
letting It go. Mitch smashed records
with that idea.
Then along came John Flanagan
with a yet bigger notion of effective
ness. Flanagan made the athletic
sharps gasp when he whirled himself
around twice before releasing the
hammer handle Flanagan smashed
Mitchell's records with that Idea.
Then along came A1 Flaw, a coast
giant, with a still more brazen idea.
Flaw- invented the triple turn. Flan
agan. McGrath and Ryan seized on
the idea, Ryan finally achieving a
mark of 1*9 feet 6 1-2 inches, which
stands today.
In prize fighting the American is
supreme because he has invented a
strictly American style. He is a smart
combination of fighter and boxer,
jour Yank, specializing particularly
in knockout blows. He is a rare
species of skilled fighter. The Ameri
can ring style lias led the world for
the last half centurj*. nearly.

Can't Illume V. A- I .
□fi£ ran hardly Maine Lie Ama
teur Athletic union for its stand
against Charley .Paddock, the
California sprinter who has l*en
termed the "fast**st human on earth."
For two years Paddock has rolled
round In tile spotlight of nation
wide publicity as the fastest sprinter
in the world without uure raring
against an opponent worthy of his
mettle.
Several eastern sprinters of note.
J. Alfred LeOoney of Lafayette; Bob
McAllister of New York; Hal Lever
of Penn and Iaoren Murehlson all
trained for Paddock in 1922. Last
summer a flock of these fast sprinters
entered the national championships
at Chicago, hoping In vain that Pad
dock would patch up his differences
with the A. A. I’. In time to start
against them, but he didn't.
Paddock may be the fastest hu
man on the west roast or in any
track and field meet in which lie has
collected, hut it will he a hard
matter for him to convince tlie of
ficials of file A. 1'. or eastern
athletic authorities (hat he can liest
the cream of tlie cast.
The feeling that Paddock has no in
tention of trying for a place on the
Olympic team next summer Is going
the rounds. At the present. Pad
lock Is getting the publicity and
seems content, knowing all the time
that It will not decrease his draw
ing power on the lecture platform.

PERFECTS GOLF BALL THAT CAN
BE DRIVEN 50 YARDS FURTHER
THAN PRESENT DAY PRODUCT
(Imago, Jan. II.—Willie It lias
not become generally known, a golf
ball manufacturer recently per
fected a ball that was so lively It
could be driven 50 yards further
than the best present day product
without any more effort or skill.
That news would be good for the
garden variety of golfers, who
could imagine himself driving 150
yards and reaching the green of a
500-yard hole In two strokes (or a
birdie four, but the liilfli moguls
1G colleges are now spoiling their
winter athletics with Ice hockey.
Hockey Is one of tho fairest games
in the nation today. When they play
roulette only the croupier has a stick.
When they play baseball only the
batter has a piece of wood. But when
they play hockey everybody has a
club.
Ilorkey is played on puddles. Some
wealthy grad donates the ground,
nature supplies Hie rain, and a note
Irom Hie A. A. U. freeies It over.
The game is already to start. Some
body blows a whistle and clubs are
trump. Six players on each side
wallop each other Into a custard
while they chase a bouncing rest
button all over the cold plaza.
The game is stopiied every few
minutes to check up the plsyers. If
any are missing the next of kin sre
eligible to grab the club and hnng
nway until somebody wins or loses.
United States refuses to Join the
league of nations until Canada takes
the clubs away from Its hockey play
ers. The game la very popular up
there because they get their Ice dl
reet from xero to consumer.
They also prefer It to boxing and
football. It's cheaper. When a play
er Is knocked deader than an suturnn
| of golf have decided to hail the bail.
Such a hall £iaight !»■ well
enough for the dulfer, for even with
the aid of till* speed demon of the
links lie could not play no well as
the expert* do with the present
ball. But, the rulers of golf as
sert, to allow the use of such a
long distance pellet In tourna
ments by star players would com
pel the rebuilding of all the golf
courses in the country and that
would be prohibitive financially,
leaf In hockey he is right on ice and
the other funeral expenses are small
There is no neutral territory In
Canada during the hockey season, as
the whole country is frozen over from
A to Izzard. Anybody on skates lias
to defend himself at all times.
Canadian hockey players grub big
salaries for abusing one another on
ice skates. They have been playing
It up there for 200 years, so nobody
knows exactly Just when hockey
stopped being a *port.
American colleges have been play
ing It for DO years and getting good
results from their clubs. But thr\
made a mistake when Rutgers chal
lenged Toronto university. The game
was played in Toronto and every
Canadian player was armed with two
clubs and an ax.
A goal is scored when a player Is
knocked Into the net. Time Is callad
when a goalkeeper Is walloped off
side or a cover point chooses the
wrong exit.
After two hours of this mob rule
the game is stopped to allow the
players to partake of Iodine, arnica
and other refreshment*
All the players shake hands with
broken arms and ask each other
what Santa brought them for Christ
