wrestling time in three fivep minute peri
DDS. The Conference rules provide for
a twelve minute wrestling period, and

testants wrestle two overtime periods OF
three minutes each.

the first bout the men weighed in at
115 pounds. Parr of Indiana and Waits
of Kentucky mixed it in fast style and
both were in close places two or three
times as they rolled about the mat. Ihen
Parr got a half Nelson and BODY lock
on the Kentucky athlete and pinned
Waits shoulders to the mat in 8 min
utes and % seconds.
In the next two matches Kentucky
wrestlers appeared strong Cunningham
of indiana met Maddox of Kentucky and
they weighed 1875 pounds. 1t required
two overtime periods for Maddox to win
a decision The Kentucky athlete was
behind Cunningham less than two min
Stitch of Kentucky proved to be an
aggressive fast mat man. The husky
L. : ound wrestler kept Hoffman Of In
diana busy and Stitch won a decision;

by a nose. Roy McWhirter of Chicago
finished fourth, and Joe Moore OF New
York was a close fifth
The final event was to be held today,

OF THE DAY IN H= THE WORLD OF SPORT { &@
Pitcher Was So Good the
Coach Withdrew Him to
Make Game Interesting

star pitcher of the Wabf sh College nine,
was a visitor in the city Thursday and
Friday, having come down from his home
at Winchester. Puck used to throw
about the fastest spitball seen around
these parts and in one season he jumped
from Glass d to the big leagues.
After "breezing EN-" over the plate
for the Scarlet for three seasons Pickett
joined the Paducah Kitty League team
and in two months he was purchased
by the PHILADELPHIA Nationals. He
finished the fall season with the Phillies,
rejoined them the following spring, but
when a sore arm developed he took up
Il business venture and gave up the
league game.
When in college Pickett was assigned
to hurl against visiting Chinese uni
versity team one day and he had such
terrific speed that the coach had to
withdraw him in order to make the
game interesting. The Chinks apparent
~ hadn't seen SO much smoke" before
and they were reluctant about standing
up to the plate.

Ever hear some dufrer use a lot OF
words not found In our best dictionaries
when describing a certain brand of balls

Invariably he insists that they are soft

but he is disillusioned, for they are not
soft, but hard instead. 1t seems out.
rageous to make the statement that q
hard ball will cut easily while a soft
golf ball will stand a lot of topped iron
shots without the cover being cut, but
nevertheless 1t is quite true. Out OF
twenty-five or thirty leading brands OF
balls there will be found but a slight
variation in the rubber stock used In
making the covers, but just get inside
once and you will find each ball made
differently, with different size rubber
windings and all sorts of sized centers.
A ball that Is wound tight inside be-
comes very hard and lively, and Ii is
unquestionably possible to make one bah
fly farther by few yards than another
by winding 1t verS tight, yet that same
ball with a like cover will cut many
times easier than one wound not SO
tight. The center is hard and the cover
soft and when the hard surface of an
iron club is smashed down on the ball
something must give. There is nothing
left to give but the cover, which is
caught in between the two hard sub
stances, hence the big nick is the result
On the other hand, the ball with a
softer winding and certer with the same
grade of cover stock used In covering II
will not cut because the center gives a
