BASKET BALL SECRETS
By Sol Metzger-

One of the most common abuses of
defense in basket ball is to hold an
opponent in front of you who has pos
session of the ball in order to prevent
his passing or shooting for goal.
The illustration on the left shows
how such pass or shot may be legal
ly blocked. The opponent is hacking
the ball with his right arm, which is
bent around the shooter. His left arm
is held straight in the air away from
the body.
lures the way this play is sometimes
attempted. The blocker here has H.
legally grasped the man with the ball.
This is a foul.

Alas, l can also remember when
even more enthusiastic prophecies
were made on behalf of the German
carp, and l believe the English spar
row was to bring a wave of pros
perity to the Nation. l do not intend
to show a narrow patriotism In this
matter, to wave the flag and cry
Our American birds are good enough
for me! l realize the distinct value
of considering all things, of exchang-
ing ideas, goods and even game birds
with foreign lands. But in this mat
ter, let us please stop and consider,
from a purely practical standpoint.
Have we made sufficient scientific
study of the Hungarian? Have we
waited, watched the first importa-
lions, to see what actually happened?
1t Is a very important step, worth
going slow about.
l think it is a matter of rainbow
chasing. We are looking for a pana
cea for our ills, cure-all that means
no work, no concerted or sustained
effort I firmly believe that the ma
tive game birds are the proper ones
for our coverts. If we will only take
the trouble to nurse them along. to
save the feeding places. l think they
will in the end do much better than
the imported bird. They belong here.
Personally, I would hate to see the
ruffed goose replaced by the ring
necked pheasant. He Is a native to
our forests, is made to At into them
in every way. 1 would rather shoot
one ruffer grouse than dozen Of
these comparatively tame and I'M
sportsmanlike birds of plumage.
If the ring-necked were native and
we were suddenly enabled to have
ruffed grouse, as an importation, we
would undoubtedly be tfckled to
death. It's the yearning for some
thing new, for a cure-all a substitute
for study and work, that fosters the
foreign bird movement today. 1t is
based on laziness and on day dreams.
1t is q patent medicine. 1t is a futile
hope and may destroy what chance
there is left for better hunting.

PREACHER SAYS SKI
CIVILIZATION VICTIM

NEW YORK, December 10 CR.-
The body Of Battling Sikh lies in
vault in a Christian cemetery, borne
there by Mohammedan pallbearers,
awaiting shipment to France.
Funeral services for the murdered
boxer yesterday were marked by the
assertion of the Rev. Clayton Powell
pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist
Church. who preached the eulogy,
that Sikh was "a victim of civiliza-
tion."
"A man born in the heart of Africa
% years ago, who could win a CroiX

medal, win 40 battles in the ring and
have himself proclaimed light-heavy
weight champion of the world. surely
had something in him that educated
people should have developed and di-
rected into a channel of usefulness"
said the preacher.
After the Christian ceremonies, six

Vance seldom threw a slow ball and
1t was not Of much use to him when
he did try 1t. for his slow ball was a
poor one.
In my opinion "Rube" Waddell was
the greatest left-hand pitcher that
ever lived He was eccentric, and In a
later chapter shall tell more of Wad-
dell and his eccentricities. but with all
the odd twists In his nature Waddell
was wonderful pitcher. There have
been better right-handers in the pitch
ing line, but there was never a port
slider who topped Waddell in pitching
stuff or cunning.
CHESHIRE Perfects Splitter.
In discussing the spit ball l forgot
to mention Jack Chesbro. While
Strickland Is credited with discovering
the splitter and introducing this deliv-
cry, it was Chesbro who perfected 1t.
He was the first pitcher really to
master the delivery and use II TO its
limit. He discovered all it's possibili-
ties and made 1t popular, and when
others saw how well 1t worked they
adopted 1t. Ed Walsh was a much
better spit-ball pitcher than Chesbro,
but Walsh took his cue from him.
Chesbro was an unusual spit ball
pitcher in that he became one of the
iron men of base ball.
Before dropping the subject Of pitch
ers 1 must bring up Addie Joss. He
was one of the great hurlers of the
game. Tall and lean. he had a peculiar
windup. twisting himself into a cork
screw. turning his back to the batter
and delivering the ball sidearm. bring
Ing It from the hip. He had a sharp
breaking curve ball. terrific speed, a
good slow one and a fine change of
pace. He was a wonderful fielder when
you consider his height and build. And
he was game clean through. Not alone
great pitcher. but a splendid char
acter. Joss was an invaluable asset to
base ball.
There are serval pitchers in the
game today that will probably join
the ranks of the greats. A pitcher
cannot establish himself in one or two
seasons any more than a batter or a
fielder. He must be a successful
pitcher year after year, and that is
what the men that l have mentioned
from the long list Of pitchers succeeded
in doing.
