Gus Desch Sets World Hurdle Mark at Penn Relays
The Natives All Know Wizard George"
Bv DEAN SNYDER


Mention the name Of "Sisler" in
either Nemisilla or Manchester. O.,
and everyone from Kids 10 grizzled
old miners. know you are talking
baseball.
George Sisler. greatest aH-round
ball player in the major leagues to-
day was born in Nemisilla and
fetched up" IN Manchester.
Neither town can be found on the
ordinary map. not unless it's a new
one printed since Sisler established
his 1920 batting average Of .4O7.
But the great batsman Of today
is not the first Sisler 10 be hailed as
a diamond hero by Nemisilla and
Manchester miner fans.
Georges dad. cad" Sister. was a
nifty catcher on the Manchester ball
team in the olden days
And the st. Louis Brown first
basemans uncle Bill was a good
pitcher in the yesterdays, too.
Georges daddy and his Uncle Bill
used TO be the star battery Of the
mining camp team.
Bill was good enough to get
catching job in the Old Ohio and
Pennsylvania league that thr1ved
several years ago.
George was a small baby when
his parents moved TO Manchester
from his birth place at Nemisilla.
He studied his three RS at the
country school house.
AS a student George didn't bat in
the 400 class. He liked TO play
outdoors too well.
In 1906 Georges father died.
His mother did not want her
boys TO be miners.
She sent George and his brother
Cassius TO the Akron high school,
II miles away from Manchester.
While in Akron George lived with
his uncle Joe Thomas. who. last
year was president Of the Akron
club in the International league.
George and his brother used TO
play amateur ball for Thomas Ak
ron Collegians. as the nine was
called.
Both were pitchers and outfeld-
ers
One and two-hit games we're not
unusual records for either George
or Cassius.
George graduated from the Akron
high school in 1911.
He didn't head the class but he
left his mark at school.
The mark is his name George

in an old chemistry laboratory

DESCH VICTORY NO
SURPRISE AT n. D.
Expected Achievement After
Phenomenal Work at Ant
werp and Harvard.

Notre Dame was electrified by the
flash Of Friday afternoon which
brought the news that Gus Desch
was the new worlds champion in the
44O yard low hurdles by his feat in
lowering the previous worlds record
to SO 4-5. Although the mark was
made in trial heat the record
stands.
The sensational performance Of
the NOtre Dame sophomore was not
entirely unexpected by those at the
school who are acquainted with his
previous record. DeSch has shown
the earmarks OF a champion for two
years and had tied worlds records
on two previous occasions before his
sensational dash OF yesterday.
The first flash OF fame came TO
the local star when as a freshman
last year he tied the worlds record
for the 40 yard low hurdles at the
First Regiment meet in Chicago in
1919. At the Eastern Olympic try
outs at Philadelphia In January.
1929. he tied the worlds record but
the mark was lowered the same day
by Norton. the Metropolitan 22O
yard low hurdle champion.
Third at OIympics.
Desch took third in the national
44O yard championship race at Har-
ward in 1920 and finished third in
the 44O meter event at the Olympic
meet, following LOomis and Norton.
The previous record which Desch
broke Friday was made last year at
the Penn Relays when Jack Watts
of Cornell topped the timbers in the
time of SAILS. The sticks which
the local star clam bered over are
the regulation - feet in height,
while his race at the Olympics was
over three-foot hurdles. At the les
ser height Desch is in his best form
and he may hold the title indefi-
nitely.
The victory OF the local star Is
most popular at Notre Dame be-
cause OF the likeable personality OF
the new champion. Like most OF
the Notre Dame athletic stars
Desch is modest and quiet on the
campus.
