PADDOCK SPEEDIEST
AT TIMES IN TRIALS
BY WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK, June 21-The fact
that Charley Paddock did not finish
out in front at the Olympic trials at
Cambridge does not necessarily mean
that he will finish back in the ruck
when the big events are run off at
Paris.
While Paddock did not run as
steadily and consistently at Cam
bridge as did Scholz, for instance,
there were certain points in both
sprints where he was running faster
than any man on the track 1t may
be that over on the other side he
will make the supreme effort, as he
did in last Fridays 2o0-meter dash,
that will carry him ahead Of all the
rest
Paddock has a remarkable finish
He closed up distance in the finishes
at Cambridge on both days faster
than any other man. Trouble with
his feet handicapped him somewhat
the most likely men, provided he does
not pull up lame.
The coaches who are handling the
Olympic team did themselves proud
in the matter of judgment at those
was the handling of Joie Ray. He
was held out for the 3,00o-meter and
showed all his old dash and form.
whereas it would have been easy to
make mistakes with hiDn in the pres
emit state of affairs. The same thing
about running in the 20o-meter finals.
Here, however, possibly ne might
have been kept out altogether on ac-
count Of the condition Of his feet.

GRID TRAINING HELPS
B0WMAN'S SPRINTING

The foot ball training of Chester
Bowman. more than anything else.
made it possible for him to stage the
beggest upset OF the Olympic trials
at Harvard Stadium and win the 100
meter finals.
In the intercollegiate and other
events it has been noted that if Bow
man was leading at the halfway
mark he seldom finished first On
the other hand, he would almost al
ways, even from a poor start, over
take the man ahead of him until he
got INTO the head. From that time on
the FOOT ball instinct to catch the
man ahead of him disappeared
The Olympic final was run in ex-
actly the way TO stimulate Bowman
TO the limit. He had to run his hard
est practically all the way to catch
up. de got into the lead about ten
Yards from the finish and then he
was going so fast he could not slow
down enough to lose.

What tricks hos a pitcher at his
command other than the use of
cnrvcS.a
Answered by
JACK BENTLEY.
Pitcher, New York Giants; known
ms N terrific sluEger. Purchased from
baltimore for approximately $6S,OOo.
One of the best tricks which a
pitcher has at his command-and
| think even better trick than US
ing curves-is mixing 'em up, or
changing the pace of the delivery.
The idea in this trick is to throw
several fast balls and then sneak one
across the plate which will make the
batter almost break his back reach
ing for it. To make this trick effec--
tive the slow ball has to be delivered
with the same motion as is used
in delivering the speedy ball. / think
that this trick is more effective than
curves oftentimes and I am sure that
it is easier on the piti;hing arm
