Formal Dedication Of Childrens'
 Institution In April

The first unit of the Children's hos pital at Seventh avenue and Thirtieth street, south, just completed at a cost of more than $65,OO0, will be thrown open early in April, but formal dedi- cation ceremonies will be delayed until the return to Birmingham in June of Crawford W.

Employees of the firm of Loveman, Joseph and Loeb will equip an entire department in memory of Maurice Lenk, former member of that organization. Mrs. Addie Stone recent ly left $200 for the hospital by the terms of her will.

COBB'S SUCCESS
 DUE TO NERVE

NEW YORK, March 2s.--(By Leased wire.)--why has Ty Cobb been so great SO long? skiii7 Yes, he has skill. Physique? 4 fine hunk of man. it's true. Enthusiasm? You're getting closer to what Jim Delehanty says is the real secret of Ty Cobhs great record. Other men have come into baseball with wonderful skill, with better physique than Cobb's since Ty first came up from Georgia, and have disappeared long since.
 "It's his nerve,n Delehanty said one night, In Lakeland, Fla, raking the coals of his recollection saa the Indians of Cleveland waited for bedtime. ny Cobb Is as brave a man as any ever knew. He has physical courage and moral courage. I've seen him go when it took both kinds of insides.
 ''T've seen that fellow Cobb get into his clothes for a game of ball with his entire right thigh and flank skinned absolutely raw from sliding. He was the greatest base stealer then, you yre- member, and I have seen him get on first, then steal second, third and home without any assistance from the fol- lowing hitters.
 As say, I've seen ny put on his pads and go out to play a game of ball when 99 out of 100 men would have laid off and you wouldn't have blamed them, either. Any man who. did go out to play would have saved himself, and favored his side, but i've seen Cobb iu that condition. take running lead off first base and toss himself in a long slide to second when t pained me to look at him, knowing that he was mur- dering himself just to win the game. He would get up and brush himself off and you wouldn't know, if you hadn't seen him dress, that there was

Former Dartmouth Star One Of Americas Best Jumpers Will Be Much Depended Upon
 ,-s Says McNutt
Says McNutt

Then comes the leap. The 1.-the muscles, so beautifully proportfoned ana trained that they are hidden from the observer until the moment of supreme effort. flex with a sudden and cable like power and Leroy T. Brown Is on his way. sfGt
 At the top of the jump no one would call him "dopey." His lighting face' is then in full evidence. The lips are drawn fiat against his teeth, deep lines of effort appear in his cheeks and the forehead is creased with the marks that tell the tale of tremendous ccncentra- tion and determination. With final wrenching fling he Is over. He drops to the ground and lands with the soft ease of a cat. He; rises and again, shoulders dropping and eyes vague and listless, he is "dopey" again until his opponent gives him sufficient reason to call on that amazing reserve he has Of strength and fighting personality.
 Sets Record
 Brown and Landon both jumped to a then worlds indoor record Of s feet bk inches at the Millrose games on that night of January 31, 1923, and officially that stands as his greatest effort; Ex- pert observers present at the Millrose games of 1924, however, are certain that Brown might have created a new record there if he had been given the opportunity
 This time he was spurred on to bril- liant effort by Landon and Harold Os- borne. Landon dropped out at 6 feet 3 inches, so that Brown and Osborne went on along to feet inches. Then the bar was placed at feet 6 and 9-16 inches. Neither cleared the bar at this mark, but twice Brown went over and just tipped the bar loose with his el- bow. The assembled critics were con- vinced that he could have gone over to a new world mark at feet 6 inches. The explanation of Browns amazing jumping that night was Osborne, for on January 25, 1924, Osborne had been credited with new worlds mark of 6 feet 5h inches.
 Brown has never competed in the Olympic games, but this correspondent strings along with the man at the Mill rose games in 1928. Make the bet that Brown won't allow himself to be beaten and I'll give odds"
 This Is the second of Q series of arti- cles on the athletes who are expected to score points for the United States at the Olympic games next July. Next Sum- day--Frank Hussey. sprinter.

 Here's . sample from last Y

 "The men have both jumped the same distance now" close follower of ath- letics said at the Millrose A. A. games on January 31, 1923. If anybody wants 10 make me present of $1 900. I'd like the privilege of betting that Leroy T. Brown wins or forces Dick Landon to new worlds indoor record to tie him. Make the best that Brown won't allow himself to be beaten and I'll give odds"
 These statements were not made with any intent to show disrespect to Dick Landon, first-cIass jumping man, but ous competitive spirit as there is to be found In American athletics. The man who offered to make the bet on Brown knew the former Dartmouth star personally, and he knew to what heights of achievement his flaming spirit could rise when touched with the spark of white-hot competition.
 Brown is a character in sports. Phys icaIly he Is tall, lanky and as loose jointed as the family flivver after Pa ana Ma and the nine kids had learned to drive 1t. His personality is an equal ly floppy affair, haphazard and vague; that is, until fierce competition causes both his fighting spirit and his muscles to grow taut and like unto a steel spring as he gathers himself for a mas ter effort.
 At the beginning of a jump Brown Is almost "dopey" in his manner. He ambles about the floor loosening the smooth and rippling muscles of his legs with the air of man who, after sitting for long time, has gotten up to take leisurely ssstretch." Often, between jumps, he sIunnps on q bench or on the floor and bends forward until his elbows rest ons his knees. Then he cups his chin in his hands and, to the observer on the sidelines. seems about to yawn right inathe face of the entire prosaic world.
 When Brown Wakes Up
 This attitude continues until his op- ponent forces the bar up to or close to a record mark. Then the apparently "dopey" Brown becomes highly inter ested in the proceedings. The vague, indifferent manner is gone. It Is re- placed, not by a highly nervous man ner, but by a cat-fike intensity, As he stands and regards the bar he Is cool and unruffled, but it is the chill calm of the killer, of the cat family about to unloose himself for a vicious spring.

TWO AMERICANS RECEIVE RED HAT
 FROM POPE PLUS
5srT f -ss stF . a-t t- SsAR Public Ceremony Marks Final Act Of
 Elevation

ROME, March 27.-(By Associated Press. )--Pope Plus today publicly con- -ferred the red hat on Cardinals Hays and | Mundlein, the final act in the elevation of the two American prelates to membership in the sacred college. The ceremony, performed in the right transept of St. Peters, was carried out with all pomp and pageantry of the Roman Catholic church in a set tin gthe like, of which does not exist outside the eternal city.
 At the appointed hour the sound of singing gave notice of the apporach of the papal procession from the chapel of Sacraments. Emerging from the chapel the choir moved slowly down the aisle of the great basilica toward the transept.
 Pope Makes Appearance
 After these came the members of the sacred college. Behind the cardinals, raised on the sedia gestatoria, or papal chair, surrounded by members of the papal household, and prelates carrying enormous ostrich feather fans, came the Pope, attired in a rich scarlet cape and wearing his precious mitre. Swiss guards in their quaint uniforms served as his body guard.
 Meanwhile the two American card inals were waiting in the chapel of St. Petronilla, where they had taken the oath as princes of the Holy Roman Catholic church. Between two cardinal deacons they were escorted from the chapel in solemn procession to the transept, entering amid absolute silence av.I .ln Ar khm ..I
 Rowing thrice to the Holy Father, each then performed the ceremony of adoration by kissing the fisherman's ringfi the cross on the toe of his slipper and his cheek. They then retired from the throne and embraced the senior members of the sacred college.
 Great Moment Arrives
 The moment had arrived for the most important part of the function. Escorted again by the two cardinal leacons each in turn approached the papal throne, genuflecting three times.
 Then, while still kneeling, their cappa magma, or great cloaks, of rich red silk were drawn over their heads, com pletely hiding them. The pope uttered a brief prayer mad from the side of the altar a prelate of the household approached carrying the red hat in- signia of the cardinalate.
 The prelate held it in turn over the head of each kneeling cardinal while the Pope repeated the formula: "Accipe galerum rubrim" or Accept tLe red hat" The hat was then withdrawn and the cardinals arose, taking places be- side. the throne. .t.s
 Arising, the Pope bestowed the papal benediction, the procession was re- formed and the pontiff descended to take his seat in the sedia gestatoria.

 IN NARCOTIC CASE
Daughter Of Mrs. Mark Nc
 NarOn Is Disclosed

Mrs. Gussie Chase, arrested Wednes- day night in raid on an alleged opium den at 2622 Avenue L and trans ferred to the county jail late Thurs day afternoon as a material witness, is the daughter of Mrs. Mark McNaron, whose husband has appealed a sentence of 10 to 20 years for an alleged at tack upon her, according to informa- tion obtained at the county jail Thurs day night.
 Mrs. Chase is only a step-daughter of Mark McNaron, her father being Mrs. Chase's former husband.

HITTING FROM THE TOP OF
 THE SWING
Mainly a Matter of Balance.

Jock Hutchinson is frequently asked whether the stroke with the irons is more of hit than that with the wood. His answer is that the difference is in the full swing, which IS usual with the wood, and Is short- ened a little with the iron.
 The trouble with. the fun swing ls that in making it the body must be turned much more to the right on! the hackswing, and with the body thus wound up, any effort is more likely to throw it out of balance.
 This, according to Jock, Is one oe the commonest golf troubles, and in nine eases out of ten is what leads to topping, slicillg, hooking. or any ono of the several other faults.

} ovila Chapdelaine-'sthat chap De- laney," as the neighbors called him is now known all over the country as Jack Delaney. the man who knocked out Paul Berlenbach, the walloping wonder.
 ovila Chapdelaine is the name given him on the occasion of his birth in St. Erancis, Canada, one bright March morning in 1900. Jack Delaney Is the name given him at the age of four when he moved across the line to Chi cago on the way to Holyoke, Mass. Nine years ago he changed his abode to Bridgeport. Conn, and changed his mind about the tool making business as vocation and took up the padded mits.
 The boxing game came naturally to him and he fought with considerable success around Massachusetts and Con- necticut, and made journey to De- troit. He met with several bumps was knocked out two or three times, and sustained a fractured knucixle-bone that handicapped him for several years. Recently his hand was repaired with an artificial cap of silver that prac. tically gave him a brand new hand.
 It was this same hand that laid the inexperienced Berlenbach low. How eyer, Delaney has profited little by his victory over the sensational exsama- teur. Three nights later he, fouslat Jackie Clark in Newak and was thrown out of the ring for mediocre work, The bout was scheduled to Ro- twelve rounds but the boxing 4commissioners stopped the farce in the eighth round. declared 1t mo contest, and held up the purses of both men. .
