SCHOLz MEANS
To RUN MANY
MORE YEARS
jackson Sets at Rest Runnors
That He Had Retired
From Track
Ever since jackson schoIz, the

Ever since Jackson Scholz, the
former University of Missouri
Splinter who now wears the N. Y.
A. c.. colors, carried Uncle Sans
silks home in front in the Olympic
200 meter championship at Paris
last summer, the athletic sharps
have had him slated for retirement.
This impression became more
general when ScholZ decided to
make a trip around the world
mainly for the purpose of running
few races in Japan for the edi.
fication of Nippon's athletic-bent
young men.
Far from being ready to join the
class of the former greats, the
fleet young man who was the only
American to win an individual flat
race at Paris, states that he eX'
poets to put in several more use
full years on the track.
ScholZ is twenty-seven years-Old
Just about Paavo Nurmi's age.
He figures that his best athletic
years are ahead lof him, and why
not? The former Missouri star
feels that he is stronger and faster
than he was when he was burning
up the track in the Conference
College sprints several years ago.
He plans to do reasonable
amount of indoor running between
now and April 1, following which
he will take an extended rest from
running.
Scholz is a disciple of Paavo
Nurmi. He believes in hard work
on the track and plenty of it. He
ascribes his mediocre showing for
the best part of two years proceed.
ing the Olympic campaign last
summer to the fact that his bust
ness did not permit him to train
properly Early last year Jackson,
working on easier hours, started
training in earnest. with results
that made athletic history.
Scholz believes that Japan will
come along amazingly in track and
field sports before the 1928 Olym-
pics. During his stay in the Island
Kingdom of the Pacific, the Olym,
pic 200 meter champion observed
a tremendous enthusiasm on the
part of Nippon's youngsters for
athletics.
Scholz told of a promising young
Japanese Splinter, whose name he
could neither spell or pronounce,
who made it decidedly interesting
for him every time they met.

was worth to lead this youngster

When pitcher loses control ne
is pitching out of time. Either he
Is letting the ball go at the wrong
time or else his arms, legs and
bedy. are not working as a unit.
This is what sport writers, such
as 4Grantland Rice, call rhythm.
The next time you go to ball
game, notice this-if the pitcher is
getting the ball. too high, see II
he isn't letting the ball go before
his arm has made the full sweep:
If he is putting the ball around
the plate and too low, he is likely
letting his arm sweep down too
far. before letting the ball go.
Golfers and bowlers will understand
what timing means in their favorite
games.
I remember a game against the
Red Sox. in which there wasn't a
hall called on me until j had pitched
nv eighteenth ball. Facts are, up
to the ninth inning I had only
pitched sixty-nine balls-which also
Is the record for a complete nine
inning game. Butt in the ninth
grew careless and tried a few
curves, with the result that /
walked the first man.
He scored later on a sacrifice
and lost the game by to O..
/ threw eighty balls in the entire
game, but my big mistake was
Experimenting with curves. As
already mentioned in this chap
ter, when he has good control a
pitcher should stick to his fast
bah and leave curves alone.
And before leaving the question
Of a pitchers control, it is very APP
propriate but with much regret
that 1 mention one record which
belongs to me exclusively. In 1910
/ made twenty-one wild pitches,
which still stands as the American
League record for single season.
And speaking of records for wild

Tech walloped Western, then

He was a big strong, right handed
boy and attracted the attention of
baseball men everywhere he pitched.
Many major league managers
watched his work and most Of them
cautioned him about his style of
pitching but the kid was going
The tour was hardly completed
when his arm practically collapsed
and he was unable to pitch for
nearly two years. Later his arm
came back and he got trial with
Brooklyn but the same old twisting
motion put him on the crippled list
again and he soon passed out Of
baseball. There was a boy who
might. have been Sne of baseball's
greatest pitching stars but he was
cut down fn--his very youth-a vic
tim Of too much curving.
Compare the case of young Schmutz
to old Joe MeGinnity-the Iron
Man of baseball history, and you
can appreciate how much disaster
comes to. a pitching arm that is
abused, Nearly. a quarter of a Gen.
fury ago, McGinnity was the sersd-
ton of the New York "Giants" and
yet we still find him pitching profess
sional baseball and winning. The
last time talked to Joe, he told me
he had pitched an average of fifty
games each season for thirty con-
secutive years And never has he
had a sore arm! In 1928 he pitched
in thirty-one games for Dubuque ir
the Mississippi alley'League-at the
age Of fifty-three. To use McGin-
nity's words, here is the reason for
his service record, which has no equal;

TO6PCT., IS PLEA
Citizens Federation Opposes
Higher Return at Hearing
on Rate Reduction.

A plea that the Chesapeake and Po-

return of 6 per cent on its valuation
was made by William Nick. Clayton
of the Federation OF Citizens ASso-
cations at the closing session of the
telephone rate hearing at the District
Building yesterday afternoon.
At the opening of the hearing in the
morning the company placed three
men versed in banking and invest
ments on the stand who testified the
return should be 8 per cent. The pur
pose of the hearing is to determine
whether a reduction in telephone rates
is possible as a result of the recent
revaluation of the telephone property.
Says Reserve Is Ample.
Mr. Clayton also told the commits
sion the telephone company has a de-
probation reserve ample in proportion
to the value Of the property. He
raised this point in urging that the
expense Of depreciation be curtailed.
Attorneys DoZier De Vane and Alex
ander Britton for the company, did
not make a closing argument, but
were authorized by Chairman Bell to
file brief within the next week.

Answering questions of the COM
mission, Mr.. Clarkson said the aim

so as to enable the largest number
of people to get telephones
Mr.. Clarkson also gave a detailed
explanation of why the telephone
company engages in advertising cam
paiSnS to get new subscribers. He
said the value of a telephone to a
customer is measured by the number
of other people he can communicate
with, and that the more telephones
that are installed the more valuable
the service becomes to each user.
