The buildings above the sixteenth

tanned to view the upper portions.

QUEER BUILDINGS

Structures Have Strange
Forms as They Follow
Shapes of the Streets.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 2S.-Some of
the most curiously shaped buildings
in the world are located in New YORK
without one of them being planned as
a freak.
This condition arises from their
having been planned according to
streets which originally were laid
along twisting roads or Indian trails.
The Flatiron Building is the best
known, with its knifelike edge facing
north, while the southern exposure is
widened in the space between converg-
ing streets. Broadway has a similarly
shaped building every few blocks up
to Times Square, ~~~
Broadway bisects Manhattan Island
from the southeast corner to the
northwest. The remainder of the
main streets are laid out in rectangu-
lar squares, which causes the odd
shaped lots to appear at each inter
section

w. G. & C. C. TO HAVE
BETTER CLUBHOUSE

Initial steps toward construction of
a new clubhouse or complete renova-
tion and addition to the old structure
of the Washington Golf and Country
Club have been taken, James A.
Drain, president of the club, has an
nounced.
Frank Upman, Washington archi-
tect and member of the board of gov
ernOrs of the club. is now in the South
inspecting different clubhouses for
suggestions of design and architec-
ture. He has already drawn up plans
providing for extensive clubhouse i'm
proVementS.
The board of governors has three
clubhouse proposals before it, one
providing for an entirely new club
house, another for extensive renova-
ton, and the third for renovation and
some new construction.
The club, Gen. Drain said, is com
mitted to one 1S-hole golf course, sup
ported by a membership with def
mite limit. The board has no inten-
tion of doubling the clubs golf facil-
tiles for the present.

come as near being speedless flivvers
as the White Sox once were hitless
wonders.
In the Spring of 1920 the year
when they won the National League
pennant and then collapsed in the
world series-the Brooklyns won 10
games from the Yankees in their
Spring training series. The Yankees
won only six. This year the Yankees
have simply wiped up the earth with
Brooklyn. 1t is true the Yankees have
been slamming the ball against all
precedent and confuting the critics
who rated them as hopeless and dis
organized bunch with a near cigar
sign as a manager. But that isn't the
only reason why Brooklyn has lost so
steadily to them. The principal rea-
son lies in their own disintegration.
Meanwhile the three interested
groups OF men who were prying into
Brooklyn Nationals affairs with a
view toward buying the club have
been whiting down the offers they
were prepared to make. They can't
see what there is to purchase.
It's all very tough on Robbie. He
has much to distress him. If the team
starts the season hopelessly and con-
tinues in the zero column, it's finances
may lead it into channels more and
more beset with reefs. What will hap
pen then is a matter that concerns
every National League owner.

H0FF BREAKS MARK

CHICAGO, April 10 LP).-Charles
Hoff, Norwegian star, again has DEM
onstrated his ability to break the
world pole vault record, apparently, at
will.
He cleared the bar here last night
at 13 feet SM inches, adding three
quarters of an inch to his previous
high mark. 1t was the seventh time
he had broken the record for total
of more than s inches in his indoor
track season, now concluded.
Hoff's opponents were eliminated at
l3 feet. Hoff easily cleared 13 feet I
inches, and then ordered the bar
raised for an attempt at the record.
On the first attempt he went over the
scantling easily. His latest perform
ance featured the annual meet of the
Chicago chapter of the American In
stitute of Banking
In approximately a dozen perform
ances since he came to the United
States, early in the season. he has
raised the indoor pole vault record
from 13 feet to the height he made
last night. Nelson r. Sheriff. of New
York held the previous record of ex-
actly IS feet, made on March :, 1925.

GOULD, i'll. GIVES UP
COURT TENNIS TITLE

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 10.-Infiuenza

which he held for 30 years. Thus c.
Saydam Cutting. New York. who de-
feated George Hubbard of Chicago in
the final match of the RACQUET and
Tennis Club tournament Thursday,
earns the championship by default.
Gould suffered an attack of lntlu-
enza a fortnight ago. This spell of
illness was followed by sore and stiff
ened muscles, which failed to respond
to massage and treatment. lie had
hopes until the last minute to meet
Cutting in the challenge match, but
found it impossible.
Henceforth, Gould stated he would
refrain from all singles competition,
contining his activities to doubles.
This means that he will automatically
default his world championship which
he won in 1907 from Eustace Mills,
British expert.
GouldS first voyage to England in
1906, after he had won the American
title, won him high praise for his skill,
but he was defeated by Mills in a
thrilling match Undaunted, however,
he returned i'll 1907, winning the
world title after battle of more than

TRACK SECRETS
WHEN IN CROWDED POSITION
IN RACE.
BY Sol Metzg,

Often in middle and long-distance
racing the contestants become
punched, especially on turns, and one
or more of the racers will be showed
forward and will stumble. When in
such a position the runner should
avoid pushing the runner Immediately
in front of him with his hand in order
to clear his course. 1t is unsports-
manlike. Also, it gives the competitor
a forward impulse and the runner
doing the pushing is in consequence
retarded.
The way to act in such a situation
is to spread the arms a bit and take
shorter steps until a path is opened
for you to move ahead, as the runner
in the striped jersey is doing behind
the runner wearing a black jersey in
the illustration on the left. The
striped jersey runner in the illustra-
ton on the right who is pushing the
opponent in front of him is aiding
that opponent while retarding himself.

The outfield and infield are hope
lessly slow with age. They must be
rebuilt, despite the clamor of Brook
lyn fans for old favorites who have
passed the peak of their careers. There
are at least five players on the club
who should be scrapped. Brooklyn
might carry the load of any one of
the five, but it cannot carry all five
without staggering pitifully.
Robbie'S plans were completely up
set when he lost the services of But
Ter. But his plans have been upset
in other directions by the failure of
other players upon whom he had
counted for some assistance.
Brooklyn hasn't a look-in in this

tering of speed, in addition to ability
to hit the ball. And the Brooklyns

Catcher of the New York Giants.


IF a boy shuns hard work he'd
better not try to be a catcher,
- for a catcher on a ball club
must be willing to put his shoulder
to the wheel. There are a lot of
knocks to be taken and not a whole
lot of glory, but the boy who be-
comes good catcher may have the
satisfaction of knowing he has ac-
complished something worth while,
for it is, to my mind, the hardest job
on the diamond.
The catcher should have a long
reach and should be u quick and ac-
curate throWer from any position in
which he receives the ball.
No good team can get along with a
weak catcher. And a weak-throwing
catcher will permit many stolen bases
The catcher must watch first and
