STRONG MEN IN FOOTBALL.
Navy Captain Holds Annapolis Test
 Record.

George R. Meyer of Minnesota, cap tain of the Naval academy football team, has broken the general strength record held by Percy w. Northcroft, his predecessor in the leadership of the eleven. His figure under the Kellogg system of measurements is .9475, and Northcroft's was .9275. w. A. Rich ardson of Tennessee, also a football player, also tops the former high fig ure as he made 1920.
 Of the eight men who with Meyer and Richardson make up the ten strongest men in the academy all but two are members Of the football team. This is the third successive year that the captain of the football team has been the strongest man in the acad- emy. Two years ago the record was held by A. H. Douglas of Tennessee, and his record still stands, as the sys- tenn of measurement has been changed and no comparison can be made with subsequent figures.

 Weston told the mayor of his pro- posed latest transcontinenta1 walk from Los Angeles to New York. and the mayor gave him the following note:
 'To the Mayor of Los Angeles:
 This will introduce to you my long time friend Edward Payson Weston. who intends to walk from your city to this city, and if you give him a good send-off we will give him a good greeting when he arrives here. By teaching by his example the taking of outdoor physical exercise he is a benefactor to the human race, and should be treated as such.

Busch is re- membered here as the man who start ed the heavyweight mat game in Nor wich about two years ago, but was practically driven out of town by fall ing to throw Jack McGrath after a fierce and lengthy bout.

CAC TUS LEAGUE DOPE

When FL Paso lost the game to Doug
las in the fair tournament and Incl
dentally the tournament. a little line
game to the effect that il would have
been better baseball to have worked
Christy Mathewson against Jimmie
Scott than to have sent Wingo Ander-
son in to pitch. This was said with no
disparagement of Anderson's ability as
a pitcher and he probably got away
with his game as good as the mighty
Christy would nave done. But it was
the experience. the ''Sabe" that was be-
hind the high Mathewson forehead that
was needed in that game to win it and
with the Giant pitcher in the box things
might have been juggled to break diff
ferently for FL PasO.
Wingo's subsequent career with Gin
cinnati juStifieS the comment The
sturdy lad with the awful punch in his
left mitt lacks experience, the thing
most needed to win that Douglas game
or any other game in modern baseball.
He has as much or more on balls as
Mathewson but his experience is too
limited for him to deliver the offerings
as the big giant does.
Anderson was picked too green. In
stead of going Up the line and getting
q thorough schooling in the minors. he
jumped from the thorn patch TO the big
league. His advent into fast company
was much akin 10 that of the small boy
shark who skipped from the eighth
grade to college and back again. Wingo
has everything needed to make a great
pitcher but the experience. This is the
easiest of all baseball accomplishments
to acquire and Anderson's place is wait
ing for him II the big league as soon as
he gets sufficient of this valuable brand
of goods on his shelves to display his
wares In proper style
In the meantime 1t is hoped that
Wingo boy will come back to his first
love for the season and tickle the boys
with his work once more.
The poet chap who wrote the piece

He has gray hair, wears rubber col

Mister Red Bodies is carded to go

on the park sand hills. The same
sandy haired lad with the sun kissed
complexion pitched Saturday against
Cananea and won his game in a run
less session. with the Cananea batters
furnishing the opposition. Bodies has
lost the soreness from his arm and is
now ready to pitch a hitless, no run
game.
Stanley .Gray's speed and accurate
throwing has made him a home in
right field regardless Of anything that
happens to the pitching staff in the
advent of Wingo Anderson being
brought here Gray is the fastest field
er Ell PaSO has had and his batting and
base running makes him an all around
man too valuable to lose a any price.

CLIFTON'S TEAM BADLY
CRIPPLED; BOYS PLUCKY

Morenci, Ariz, June 1.-THE crippled
Clifton team gave Morenci a bad scare
by its plucky uphill fight after the
score was 10 to the other way, Mo
renci winning out 10 TO s. The visitors
arrived shy one man and with a pitch
er playing the outfield Morenci loaned
Brubaker to the team. Brubaker's work
with the stick drove in three Of Cliff
tons runs but his ragged fielding off
set 1T, miSjudged flies allowing Morenci
as many more The Clifton outfield
played loose ball with the exception of
Clifford. This was responsible for a
number of Morenci's hits going safe.
Seaman, Clifton's southpaw, started
to work but blew up in the fourth
After receiving some poor support. he
lost control. Morenci punched nine
hits for eight runs. Abbott who re-
lieved him, held the locals without a
hit for the remainder of the game
Jones started on the slab for Morenci,
but was taken out when Clifton started
to hit him in the fifth. Ashley, who re-
lieved him, was hit hard but Clifton
took long chances on the bases towards
the end of the game, which was disas-
trous.
The game was long drawn out and
played before a small crowd. None Of
the Clifton fans came up.
The fielding of Parks was the only
feature.
