First call for base ball at Central
High will be issued Wednesday
afternoon by Coach Fred Hill.
Paul Konecky, captain of last

well known as an all-roundathlete.
The city High School league prob
ably will be formed again. The mem
bers of last year's league were: Cen
tral, Commerce, South and Creigh-
ton. If Lreighton High has no

will probably take the fourth fran
chise, s
Commerce High, last year's
champs, has its full squad back.
Russell Snygg has been elected cap
tain to succeed Frank Mahoney, last
year's leader. Mahoney and Snygg
were the battery for the bookkeep

erans are$ Leubbe brothers, Hath'
hot brothers, Rokusek, South, Ma
honey arid Snygg.
' Central has all but three of last
year's team left. Konecky, Sogolow
and White have been graduated.
Those who are back are: Captain
Mangold, Logan, Ayres, Somberg,
McGrath, "Vlach and Leo Konecky.
Last year's squad was the first on.e
Central had .for three years. There
js much more rivalry, between all
schools this year, and tn interesting
and exciting season is looked for.
South had many of her men grad
uate last season. Vorr, Volz, EmighJ
ttter and banner have been grad
uated. Among veterans are Hodgens,

Have Sox Another Babe
Ruth; in Patsy Flaherty?
Crusinberry in First Article for The Bee Tells oBos
ton Red Sox Chances as He Sees Them Scharig
Is Among Missing.,
(Note The Bee has secured the serf Ires
of Jamoe t'ruslnbvrry, one ot the greatest
sport writers In the country. This Is the
first of at eerir artlrle la which Crusln
berry will review erh major leogoo team
as It "stacks up'ln the training camp.
By JAMES CRUSINBERRY.
"Hot Springs, Ark., March 14. Be
fore the base ball season opens,
Manager Barrow expects to make
some-kind of a deal that will -give
him a couple of strong men. If that
deal isn't made," it looks as if the
Red Sox manager will have a stren
uous time keeping the once famous
Boston team in the first division, anfl
unless he produces a first division
team, the fans of Boston are likely
to be rather harsh.
At the start of the training period
here Barrow had a bunch- of ath
letes that could be sized up about as
follows:
A first class infield.
A rather weak and left-handed
hitting outfield.
doubtful pitching staff.
A catching staff wrecked hy th
absence of the star. . 1 '
Ruth Sale Stirs Fans.
Of course, it was the selling of
big Babe Ruth, the Tarzau of base
ball, that stirred the Boston fans.
He was the' biggest hero of the na
tional game last year. Boston fans
haven t recovered trom the snocK
they got when it was announced
Babe had Keen sold to New York.
It isn't possible to get a man to.
take Ruth's place, as far as hittingJ
honors is concerned. However, the
absence of Ruth alone isn't all that
is the matter with the team. Pos
sibly Barrow would have just abou:
as hard a time keeping in the first
division if he could find another
Ruth. It was the effect of such a
deal upon the other members of the
team that is "liable to play havoc.
Schang Among" Missing.
For instance, Wallie Schang, who
often has been compared with Ray
Schalk of the White Sox as a
catcher bf extraordinary merit, has
declared he is through with the
game. Perhaps he's only holding
out. The report is that he didn't
demand more money than offered,
but simply wrote that he had gone
into the automobile accessory busi
ness in Philadelphia and was
through with the pastime. It is
hardly likely playing baseball would
interfere greatly with his business
if, he thought he was on a team
likely to cut into' a world's series.
Harry Hooper, the veteran and
expert i outfielder, wrote he would
be late in reporting. That hardly
would be done by a player who
felt he was to be in a pennant fight.
Stuffy Mclnnis, Everett Scott, and
Joe Bush, veterans of the champion
ship days, were a bit peeved upon
reaching camp and learning the
other old timers had been able to
stay at home a while longer. Oscar
Vitt, regular third baseman, wasn't
present, holding out for more
money. Herb Pennock wasn't
prompt in reporting.
Youngsters Are Plentiful y
When Barrow took his gang out
for the first drill, he" found he had
a number of youngsters on hand
and three or four veterans. Several
of the youngsters were boys who
had performed in the Steel league

(The 100-Yard Dash Continued.)
"Get Set." When you are properly
on your marks and have practiced
enough, you will have an assurance
in your work that will leave you
free to concentrate on your race.
At the command "get set," bring
up the knee of your back leg, keep
ing full pressure against the walls
of your starting hole. Come up
slowly until your back is about
horizontal. Steady yourself and set
your nerves on a hair trigger.
"The, Gun." With the sound of the
gun the pentup nervous energy in
stantaneously breaks into action.,
v 1. Bowlegs drive-horizontally.
2. Jerlc weight forward with a
wrist snap as you begin arm action.
3. Start body in a diving position,
tharis, well ahead of the legs. Make
the latter catch up with the weight.
4. The first tep must be short
not more than eight or 10 inches
longer than the distance between the
Starting holes. Each succeeding step
show rather an even increase in
length until top stride is reached. -
Run Smoothly. v
5.", Use arm pull to the limit at
once. The snap-like shoulder swing
comes into its own with thetop
stride.
6. The incline, up, which the
body should fairly appear to slide,
6houli not put the bodyv erect until
somewhere beyond 12 to 15-yard
mark. '- ' '
7. Smoothness of action in start
ing is very important. Wabbling of
body, legs, or hips, or cradling of
arms ire defects.
"The Sprint Proper" Under this

and on the shipyard dubs last
year. Reports were that the in
dustrial ' league clubs were dicker
ing -with some of the Red Sox snd
other big league stars, while on the
other hand, the Red Sox were tak
ing shipyards and Industrial leaguej
piayers to Duua up yi , American
leaguc'teanv " . ,
Perhaps it's possible to construct
a championship team by selling a
star or twd and then acquiring a few
shipyard ' and semi-pro " players in
their places. I doubt if it ever has
been done before and if Manager
.Barrow can turn the trick this year
he will deserve a lot of credit. It is
possible, though, to develop the
youngsters in time. Maybe the ship
yard boys will be stars in two or
three years and maybe by that time
Eabe Ruth will have retired and
the fans will have forgotten him.
Have Anbther Babe Ruth.
Here's one chance for Barrow to
win back the Boston fans: On his
squad of youngsters" is one Patsy
Flaherty that looks so much like
Babe Ruth that the boys "started
calling him Babe the first day out.
He's a pitcher from the Baltimore
Dry Docks team. Babe, too, came
from Baltimore. ,' "
Patsy was anN aviator in the army
and had a bad fall, smashing Some
bones and making his nose, turn up
in pub style.- Babe, too, has a nose
that turns up. When he was a young
lad he was a page in the house of
representatives at-Washington and
today calls a lot of congressmen by
their first names.
Flaherty differs from Ruth in that
he pitches right handed. But he can
hit either way and can wallop the
ball out of the lot. It remains to be
seen if he can "tiit 'em as often, and
off of good pitehers, like Babe did.
But if he should happen to go up in
a pinch in the early part of the sea
son and hit the ball over the fence,
he will, just about right all the
wrongs for the Boston fans.
Dartmouth Star on Roster.
Then 'there is another hopeful for
Barrow to watch. He-is Joe "Cuddy"
Murphy, a four-letter man from
Dartmouth, one of the stars of last
season's foot ball team. "Cuddy"
attempted to slip out to Cleveland
for a post-season game with a pro
fessional team, was detected, and
ruled out of athletics at Dartmouth.
Last spring "Cuddy" was the star
hurler of the Green team. He shijt
out the Harvard nine without a hit
or a run. He's seeking fame now in
the big league and may get it. At
least, the manager has a tight to
hope. N " . .
Other youngsters are Harry Hol
borow, right-handed pitcher from
the shipyard team of Staten Island;
"Judge ' Lynch, left-handed hurler
from the Eastern and International
leagues, who also had a splendid
record tn France; Ben Karr, tall
pitcher from the Littls Rock club;
Garry Fortune, a semi-pro of
promise; Harry Leasure, a slim slab
star of the shipyards; "Hack" Eibel,
sturdy infielder; Harry Hillar, third
baseman or shortstop from the
semi-pro fields, and Stanley Stack,
infielder, who was wth Kenosha last
year and recommended by Hughey
Duffy. - Q

from the 12 or 15-yard line to within
two or three yards xpom the tape.
Evidently the sole object to be at
tained in this part of the race .v
speed. Speed itself is dependent
upon the nervous and musculalr re
action, jof the individual,' upon con
stant practice, and correctness of
form. -'
1. The knees should snap high in
front. Their downward snap should
whip the lower leg out into almost
a straight line. In fact, th& instant
before the foot strikes the track the
leg should be very nearly straight.
2. As the foot strikes tlft track
it, should pull that is, it shoujd try
to drag the track back beneath the
body.
3. The legs, side view, should not
slap or swing up, behind. In other
words, each foor should be at its
highest point in front of the body.
4. The arm-action, side view,
shquld be high, and be supplemented
by ax sharp shoulder swing. The
arms should come down to about the
body line, at the bottom of the
swing,' and at the top, be about
shoulder or even eye height. -Carry
the arms about three-quarters ex
tended at the side, to full extension
at the top of swing.
Do Not Wabble.
5. From the front, the real sprint
er should te free ir6m side to side
action or wabble. Each leg and each
arm should work in a plane of its
own. This is true of hips, and body
too. (Exception: x The shoulders
work in a horizontal, not an up-and-down
plane)'.
Note: Constant work over a course
40 to 50 yards long, at three-quarter
speed, With special; attention to
smoothness and effectiveness of form
is very valuable.
The Pitch or Finish Often two
sprinters approach the tape chestto
chest, each straining every nerve to
take the few inches that will (spell
victory. -Quite often neither has com
mand of a pitch for the tape and they
finish in a dead heat. A clever pitcn
at the tape will 'net many inches;
when properly executed it man mean
as much as a half yard.
1. The chest is shot forward and
slightly downward. This must be
nicely timed from somOhere be
tween the two and the four and half
yard point from the tape, and can
only be done successfully if correct
ly -timed from the leg drive of the
last or second last stride.
2. Any lift or jump is detrimental:
forto jump, the runner must con
vert straightaway speed into lift. It
simply a sort of dive accompanied
by the maximum of continuing leg
drive .' ' . , s
3. Continue top sprinting action oi
arms, shoulders, kgs, etc., through
out the pitch.
you are yards beyond the tape.
Note: .Never stop sprinting until j

this method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected

during which the disease is getting
a firmer hold upon its victim, and
making it more difficult for even

Uread consumption
comes more and more aggravated
and finally reaches down into the
lungs, and everyone recognizes the
alarming conditions that result
when the lungs are affected. Thus
Catarrh may be the forerunner of
