WoodIing is Fastest
Man in the World

until the Penn relay games recently.
Running as anchor man for SYRIA
cuse in the one-mile college relay
championship, Woodring got away
seven yards behind Bill Stevenson,
Princeton captain and the national
quarter-mile champion. Woodring
ran him off his feet and won the race
after doing a quarter in the unofficial
time Of AZ AS. equalling the worlds
record.
Considering the fact that the
timers all caught him the same and
that the event was run late in the
afternoon. when the track was chop
ped to pieces by two days of inces-
SAINT pounding and cutting. the per-
Torrance was phenomenal.
II he maintains the form he had in
that race, there Is little doubt that
Woodring will be able to make a
new record for the quarter on the
Harvard track in June, If he goes out
for that event in the intercollegiate
championships.

Alaska ranks first.

BILLY EVANS SAYS

Take nothing for granted in base
ball is an excellent theory to at all
times follow.
Events in the baseball world dur
ing the past few weeks have GER
tainly borne out the truth Of that
adage.
Within ten days time some very
remarkable feats have been per-
formed in the major leagues. AS is
usually the case, the record-break-
ing performances came in punches.

was the pitching OF a no-run, no.

was one of the umpires in this
game, and l regret very much that
Robertson's honors were slightly
dimmed by the accusation that he
tempered with the ball.
Robertson's victory was clean cut.
The fact that the recruit performed
It against Detroit, one OF the hard
est hitting clubs in the history Of
the game, made It all the more
Robertson used a fast ball with
treat success, mixing In a slow
,urve and nice change Of pace.
His control was perfect. Only two
,atters who faced him worked the

debut.
In that same game, Sam Post, a
recruit first sacker. got his name
into the baseball records. In this
game Post had only one chance at
first base, a put-out. This equaled
the National League record made
by Bill Hinchman, of Pittsburgh.
A few days later, Jess Barnes, the
hero of the 1921 world series, shut
out the Philadelphia club without a
hit. Barnes came mighty close to
equaling Robertson's record. Only
ono man reached first base. He got
there on a base on balls, but was
doubled up on the next play.
The same day that Barnes was
moving down the Phillies, Sam
Jones, OF the New York Yankees,
was turning in a great game against
Washington.
For seven innings Jones retired
the Nationals in order. He was on
the way to duplicate Robertsons
feat. In the eighth inning, Joe
Judge spoiled II with a triple. that
was badly played. In the ninth in
ming another Washington player got
on through an tnfield scratch.
All OF which leads us up TO the
conclusion that the pitchers are
once more coming into their own.
In addition, there is also the very
general belief that the ball In use
this season is not nearly so lively as
he 1921 brand.
The fans like hitting, but will
welcome a pitchers battle
very now and then as a sport
dessert.

While sprint records and field marks

record Of AZ 4-5 seconds made by

one of the few that have remained

How long Meredith will remain as
