DAVE DANFORT

Browns Veteran SouthpaW
Thinks He Deserves Much

BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-"Dandy
Dave Danforth, an outstanding
star OF the st. Louis Browns hurl'
ing corps, is not satisfied with his
1926 contract. In fact, when Dan

document he lost little time In send

with the suggestion that a raise

Danforth said this morning that

his street clothes and has kept in
good shape ali winter. Within a
week the Browns will leave for
their training camp at Tarpon
Springs, Fla, and Dave hopes that
hy that time his salary differences
with the club will be adjusted.
Dave believes that st. Louis could
have won the pennant in 1923 II
Lee Fohl had not shipped him to
Tulsa, Western League, before the
season was over.
At Tulsa, Danforth helped pitch
the club into a. pennant and later
was instrumental in beating Mobile,
Southern champions.
In 1923 the umpires in the Amer
lean League were hot after Dan
forth for his alleged use of Shine
end emery" balls. Last year Pres
ident Ban johnson personally In.
spected his work in game at New
York against the Yankees and after
that the arbiters left Dave alone.
Johnson had evidently given the
o K label to his efforts.
Danforth probably holds the rec
ord for the use of new balls. In a
game at st. Louis in 1923 the UNI
fires gave him fifty-eight new ones
in one game.

Nurni made his first record.
It seems that on this historic
occasion Nurmi was racing
against time. For the first few
laps the sun dial licked along in
unison with Nurmi's heels.
Then, suddenly, the chronom-
eter seemed to get the hic-
coughs and it was noticed that
Paavo's heels were clicking more
often than the clock was took

A little later Nurmi was go-
ing so soon that the hour glass
seemed to be not only standing
still but actually running back
wards.
Nurmi never even looked
around.
He ignored that clock in toto.
