his game in any number of ways.
In baseball many a catcher with an
interesting line Of chatter diverts
the attention Of the batter. it is
impossible TO carry on conversation
at the plate and hit the ball.
Some Use Unique System.
Some major league Catchers are
past masters at the art OF keeping
the batter from concentrating on the
pitch Very often their line Of con-
versation is most interesting If
some recruit is at the bat the
catcher is probably wishing him
well, fixing him what he hit in the
minors, or telling him about some
one he knew in the recruits old
home town.
Anything to keep the batter from
concentrating on hitting the ball
1t is the same in boxing. often some
remark entirely upsets an opponent
and makes him an easy mark, usu-
ally because Of anger In football
many a player is thrown off his game
y the line of chatter that is directed
at him by one or more players.
Joshing is not supposed to have a
place in golf. However. just so Ions
as there are players Of that tempera
ment it. viii probably be continued
In by those individuals.

SPORT ANGLE

Modesty is an admirable trait. It
is treat TO see a star athlete who
isn't wise TO the fact that he is the
last word in his particular line.
Nothing jars more than the con-
ceited individual who is always will
ing to admit that he IS just about the
best ever.
Last year Jimmy Dykes Of the
Athletics, in a game with st. Louis,
accepted Il chances at second base
in an elght-inning game.
Dykes is quite a ball player He
has plugged up the hole at second
base for the Athletics, caused by the
departure of Eddie Collins.
A few days after Dykes had made
his remarkable record Of II chances
without an error. happened to be
umpiring a series for the Athletics.
You certainly must have done
some wonderful fielding in that
game With st. Louis" I remarked.
There really wasn't a hard
chance in the lot" said Jimmy 7
didn't know I had accepted half
that many chances until the game
was over and a newspaper man
told re about ii.
Had I desired 10 break a record
I could have accepted three more
chances late in the game on throws
TO second.
II really have played in many
game in which 1 handled only four
or five chances. yet had much more
TO do from my viewpoint than in the
game in which I accepted It."
That is the way Jimmy Dykes felt
about accepting II chances in eight
innings.
A great many athletes would have
assured you that half Of the plays
were almost impossible of execu-
ton.
Players Of the Jimmy Dykes type
are refreshing.

'JOSHING' IS NOT
POPULAR IN GOLF
Noted Golf Expert Gives Idea
of Get Your Goat" Type
of Player.
H. RITJN EVANG
BY BILLY EVANS.


What place has the ''josher' in
golf?
That is a rather difficult question
10 determine.
There are some players who don't
take the game seriously. Joshing
with them is part Of the game.
That is all very well if their op-
ronent is that type of player. It
may pass muster in a foursome IL
all the players are of the same turn
Of mind.
It must be remembered, however,
that "joshing" in golf, which is a
rather a polite way OF saying getting
ones goat" is not conducive to
helping the play and score Of the
golfer.
There is nothing quite so disgust
ing TO the player of a serious turn
Of mind as 10 get paired up with
some player who uses his tongue TO
perhaps a greater advantage than his
, clubs, in bringing about his oppon-
ents downfall.
Golf is supposed to be a gentle
mans game. While II would be un-
kind TO say the "josher" was not a
gentleman, stil such methods are not
supposed TO conform to the etiquette
/ of the game.
In playing golf one encounters all
sorts Of conditions and the good
golfer meets them as best he can.
Very often the fellow who insists on
ioshing his opponent off his game,
is the softest kind OF a target for
such line OF chatter.
1t is surprising how peeved the
| 'josher" gets the moment you slip
him his own line of talk. Usually
he is unable 10 stand being kidded
because he has been accustomed to
having that edge, when his opponent
refuses TO meet him at his own
game.
Joshing Is Not Good Form.
Since joshing Is not considered
good form in golf II probably is not
proper to go back at a fellow with
his own ammunition, yet that is very
often the only way to successfully
handle an unpleasant situation.
Golf is a game of concentration.
1t is impossible 70 concentrate If your
opponent keeps up a steady line Of
chatter, much Of which is personal.
Many a game Of golf. baseball
football or boxing match is decided
because of the ability TO get the
goat Of some certain player by josh
ing him.
1t is possible to get a player Off

players. They claim there are plenty
of experienced stars who have grad
uated. who are willing and anxious
20 accept their terms.
Two years ago al Canton. say the
professional promoters, II was agreed
that no team should tamper with
players stil i'm college. It IS further
claimed that -he rule has not since
been violated with the exception of
the incident which involved the NO
ire Dame stars.
The promoters claim there should
be no worry on the part OF the col
lege coaches, If the pros" stick 10
their resolution TO refrain from tam
pering with stars in college. They
claim the game has prospered much
since that rule was adopted
II is also argued that the pro
game. while it lacks the color,
morale and spirit Of the college
sport. is bound TO succeed because
of the appeal made through the high
standard of play. The contention is
made that after three years of care
full coaching. the average athlete
is just at the top Of his game.

Kerosene was first procurable in

In 1879 came the "incandescent"

Not being satisfied with this form of
filament Edison began to carbonize
everything in nature that he could
think of. He wanted material that,
when carbonized, would be uniform
and homogeneous. AS he looked
