the largest score that the swimmers
in their two years of scholastic
experience have ever amassed in one
meet. The superiority in all branches
of the team gave Captain Sheldon
and his mates first place in every
event.

NEW YORK. Feb. IT (United

of a poor loser. Winners as a rule
make their own breaks. but the ele-
ment of chance Is really what makes
all games a sport.
The breaks" are considered the
big thing in baseball and they are
a bigger factor on the diamond per-
haps than on any other field OF
athletics.
The breaks" IN baseball are not
confined to the field, however.
Luck in getting players is more OF
a factor in building winning ball
clubs than in polling home runs and
pitching one-hit games.
The New York Yankees have four
of the finest scouts in the country.
Their system OF combing the bush
leagues is the most expensive in
baseball, but it has never returned
a dividend of a nickel.
In eight years. the New York
American League club has not dis
covered one real player. It is not
the fault of the club and the scouts
aren't to blame. They just didn't
have the luck.
