Corbett's Daily Letter
On Great Sport Topics
ny JAMES J. CoRBETT

United States and the other Canada. He
was told to write his impressions fairly
and truthfully.
And this is what he said in part:
Baseball is a very slow game, and
at times becomes tiresome and monoto-
nous, due largely to the actions OF me
pitcher, whose actions are SO deliberate
a to be the subject for wonder, if not
admiration.
Every movement of the pitcher is
studied one. with extreme slowness out
standing. The American pitcher in the
contest | saw always walked to his po>
ston in the box very slowly and very
majestically, and thereafter would go
through motions that were most exas-
perating for those who wanted to see
little action.
Whenever runner was on first
base the spectacle became even more
tiresome. The American pitcher would
look to the base and then to the plate
three or four times each before he made
an effort to deliver the ball, When the
pitcher tired of looking back and forth
from first base to home plate, he would
twiddle the ball around IN his hands
and then raise it sometimes to his lips
as though about to kiss it.
Just as one was about to give up in
despair. the pitcher would relieve the
tension by throwing the ball some-
where but it wasn't a certainty that he
would throw it to the plate and let the
game progress. He frequently threw
to first base several times before he
threw to the plate, and each time ha
threw to the base it delayed the game
Just that much longer and made the
contest just that much more monoto-
nous.
Several times during the game the
pitcher would take the ball in his hands
extend his arm, hold it motionless for
few seconds and then signal to the
catcher. The catcher would walk half
way to the plate, where the pitcher
would meet him. Then there would be
a whispered conference that lasted any
where from five to twenty-five seconds
On another occasion the pitcher wake I'd
over to the second baseman and con
ferred with him, and still another time
he walked over to the third basemar
and held whispered conversation
there.
Baseball, the Americans tell me, is
a very speed game and a very scientific
one. Perhaps it is, from the American
viewpoint"

BASEBALL BLOOMS
ON HOWARD CAMPUS
Springtime Weather Brings
Out Scrappy Scrimmages
and Good Games
By G. STRICKLAND

Baseball blossomed into full bloom
at Howard last week when a series Of
prastice games were played. Teams of
equal strength were placed on the field.
Rainy weather has been refsning at
Howard for about a week, but now all
is bright and good, daily work. outs
are being held.
Practically all of last years team
is back. In the infield "Skeets" Duke,
Dick Griffin, Lovick McLane and O.
B. Newman seem to be the most like
ly contenders. In the outfield Shelly
jackson, Captain Carr and w. d. New
man apparently have the edge.
The pitching staff is progressing
nicely Bud King shows the same
old classy stuff. Lewis Walker is go
ing good. Loften Martin also shows
well for youngster. and Claud Mat
thews is giving some of the old men
lots of worry.
The high school men. who are show
ing stuff, are: Wright, Fangerson.
Marlborough Acton. Harlers, Carlisle
and McClung @
Games have been arranged with Ala
bama, Mississippi A. & NJ, st. Ber-
nard and Birmingham Southern. Others
are pending with Mercer university,
Greene university and Millsaps.

GARY'S GRAPPLERS
READY FOR BATTLE
Half Dozen Wrestling Stars
From Indiana Are Here
With Bells On
By J. FREDERICK MEAGHER

In new wrestling trunks of daz-
cling emerald blue, the half-dozen anna
teur grapplers from the Gary Y. NJ. G.
A. had their final work cut yester-
day for the National A. A. U. champion
ships at the Birmingham Athletic club
tonight and tomorrow, and the hand
ful of spectators privileged to look on
with one accord sought the box office
to secure choice seats for tonight
For that Gary gang Is the goods,
as one spectator put it, They won four
out of eight championships in the last
National A. A. u. tournament they
have all four champions with them and
several other men of the first water, be-
sides. They have a man in every single
class. two in most, and from the way
the big huskies hauled and mauled and
mangled one another last night history
will be made when the steel mill mold
ers mix with the pick of the southern
states.
The greatest interest centers in the
heavyweight championship bout, Gary
has Karl Kunert, who won the titles
at It's and heavyweight last year, and
Gary also has Stanley Czarnecke, on
Walter Camps all-American football
team in 1917
This superman also held the national
y
championship for the past two years.
He made the Pennsylvania State varsity
in football basket ball lacrosse, track
and several other sports, winning ID
college letters during his years there.
Weighing 1876, and standing over six
feet, quick as a cat and strong as an
OK, the combat between Champion
Kunert and Champion Czarnecke
should make the historic meeting be-
tween Hector and Achilles look like the
pink tea of mollycoddles.
When Kunert and Czarnecke tangle-
oh, lady, lady!
The heavyweight champion of the Pa
cifc coast, Jack Conway of Seattle,
is also entered in the heavyweight
class. This is one time the effete east
will probably show the cave men from
the wild and woody west what real
wrestling looks like.
Two of the Gary teams are near
sighted deaf mutes. When they take
off their glasses and get the referees
signal to start to begin, what with their
deafness and deficiency of sight it
must take a whole platoon of referees
to get them to understand the match
is over. Singularly enough, these two
silent ones are the only genuine Irish
men to represent Gary on St Patrick's
Day.

COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus, Miss, March 16.-(Special.)
The committee recently appointed by
I. L. CASTOR, president OF the Chamber
of Commerce of Columbus and Lowndea
county, to formulate plans for increas-
ing the activities and extending the
scope of that organization, met last
night, having assembled in response to
a call issued by Hon. p. W. Maer, edi-
tor Of the Columbus Dispatch, the COM
mittee chairman. The object of the
meeting was stated in a short, but en-
thusiastic address by Mr.. Maer and brief
talks were made by Messrs J. T. Wood,
F. P. Phillips. A. A. Breast, r. E. john
ston, I. I. Kaufman and S. B. Street, Jr..
of Columbus; DIR. F. M. Vaughan, a
prominent physician and planter of the
Old Zion neighborhood, and Cary H.
Cooke, a wealthy planter of the Prairie
section.
1t was decided to at once take steps
to revive and infuse new life into the
civic chamber, and definite plans for
the undertaking will be laid before
citizens at get-together luncheon
which will be given at some date in the
near future.
The fortieth annual session of the
Woman's Missionary society of the
North Mississippi conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
which will convene in this city Tues
day and remain in session throughout
the following Friday, will be an I'M
usually important one, not only because
the society was organized in Columbus,
but because an unusually elaborate pro-
gramme has been prepared for the oc-
casion.
This programme includes several
speakers who have gained fame as mis-
sionaries both in local and foreign
fields, prominent among the number be-
ing DIR. J. l.. Mumpower, whose SPLEEN
did work in Africa has attracted world
wide attention; Miss Mary Jane Baxter
who spent several years in Brazil; Miss
Martha Pyle, who recently returned
from a long sojourn in China, and Mrs.
NJ. L. Hargrove of Nashville, Tenn.
who for many years has been engaged
in uplift work among unfortunates
in this country. The meeting will be
presided over by Mrs. w. Conger Of
Walden, who is president of the or
ganiza tion.

the cooperative creameries are the
