viii there be a new hero come
forth from the 1920 Olympic games?
Since 1896. with the revival Of the
modern Olympiad. some hero has
jumped into the superman classical
ton in each world meet
Each is wined and dined-feted
and loved for a time. Then another
comes and the first are forgotten.
Probably none ever stood out more
prominently than did that great
Indian, Jim Thorpe. Although they
took away his medals on charges OF
professionalism soon after. yet they
could not take away his marvellous
records.
There was something about the
Indian that spoke of greatness which
has never died. The romanticism OF
his ancestry. the bigness Of his heart,
the quiet way in which he returned
the greatest collection of trophies
ever won will never be forgotten.
And the Thorpe Of today Is the
same ~wonderman he was IN 1912. He
Il still the athlete-the hero-the
superman, and yet his name is erased
from the record books.

HAROLD THR0cKM0RT0N
MAKING GOOD ON COURT

Harold Throckmorton. the former
Sewaren tennis player, won his way
to the finals in the Greenwich Tennis
Tourney Sunday with s. Howard
yoshell as his partner. T~hrockmor-
ton, who is creating quite a stir in
tennis circles, spent his high school
days in the village up the sound and
attended the Woodbridge High
School. He used to keep in fighting
trim by fast walking between
Sewaren and Woodbridge to and
from school, and when he made his
first appearances on local courts
people recognized in him a player OF
no little ability.
In his games at Metuchen
enthusiasts Of that place realized that
the youngster was meant for a star,
and should play for something be-
sides pleasure. His rise was rapid
and before many more years have
passed he may be listed up among
the senior crackerjacks in the sport

to spring at the ball every day; for

casionally stealing off his H. r. stuff.
But Messrs. Stoneham and Rup-

fancy figures for Babe just to see
him hit pop flies. Their foresight
has measured out more than 100 per

Because the Micheiin team de-

ing the championship of the county.
Manager Mullen of the Perth Am

of the fact that the Amboys defeat

Ernie johnson is to stay with this

Giants have picked him off. Jack
Cook, secretary of the Bees, says:
1--WE think we have a fine chance
to win the pennant this season. and
we would not be foolish enough to
part with johnson. He is our mos
valuable player, aside from the fact
that he is making good as manager
of the club. with both feet. He is
worth twice as much to us as he Is
to New York. That's why we are
going to keep him. We will consider
letting him go to the Giants this
fall, as we would not stand in his
way If he can better himself.

Hod Eller

They won't let Hold Eller throw
his sinner any more. Hold explains
Just how he used to make the ball
hop queerly a year ago. He says:
"a fast ball, IL you get the speed
on 1t. will do what the pitchers call
hop That is what they all try to
get. The hop is the rise of the
ball as 1t crosses the plate. 1t gen.
orally breaks to one side. The sinner
1 used to throw would rise possibly
an inch and swerve toward the bat
ter three or four inches. That is
what the boys call the hop If
speed doesn't hop most any batter
can hit 1t fair and drive it a mile.
That is what suddenly makes a
pitcher helpless sometimes during a
game, His muscles stiffen or tire so
hat he hasn't quite enough speed to
make the ball hop They generally
knock you out when this happens"
Slim Sallee
Slim Sallee, of the Reds, used to
rub a good deal of rosin on the tips
bf his fingers during a game. The
empires have been instructed to put
the Kibosh on It. He says:
"I don't believe in freak deliveries.
I never use them. Yet all of us have
BUR little pets in delivering a ball.
I think a pitcher, who has depended
upon freak balls, should be given
time to change his style. I never
used the mud ball, the sinner, the
emery or even spit. I use rosin or
the tips of my fingers because I
can't keep from sweating on a hot
day. If the rule makers can fix up
that little difficulty. why, they will
never hear any kicks from me. But
YOU can make a bum out of n
pitcher by taking away his favorite
delivery without giving him a chance
to perfect something else"

GERM FREE MILK Is ESSENTIAL

Children love miIk-so do bacteria.
Children grow and thrive on milk,
and so do bacteria
The problem of the man who pro-
duees milk is to keep it intact for its
ultimate and lawful consumer. The

Milk to be free from germs, must
be kept in germ-free containers says
c. Seymour of the Colorado Agricul-
tural College. Secondly it must car
ny no dirt with it from the exterior Of
the COW, and thirdly, no dust must fall
into the milk after it is drawn"
The department of Agriculture re-
Gently carried out an experiment on
the bacterial content of milk. The
milking was done under ordinary un-
sanitary conditions. These astonish-
ing figures resulted: The cans used
We're small topped. Sterilizing these
cans reduced the bacteria per cubic
centimeter from 10000 to 1900.
Simply whipping the udder and fianks
of the COW, resulted in the further re-
ducing Of the bugs to 5000.
Ii was also discovered that by clean
ing the stable daily, and using plenty
of litter for bedding that a minimum
of time was necessary to groom the
cows.
Milk is the only standard animal
food which is consumed raw and it
forms 1-l6 of the daily diet of every
person in the country. Milk is a per-

plication of the bacteria. Milk care
iessly handled contains more bacteria
than the contents of a city sewer. 1t

must be exercised in the production Of
commercial milk.
Clean utensils, clean cows and clean
