came back strong in the second quar-
ter whet, Verdugo slipped rough
the Puma defense three times and
took close in shots that counted field
goals. Martin contributed another
before the half while the work OF
Magana and Cary checked the Puma
offense. In last minute rally just
before the half ended the Douglas
team went into the leaa IL to 8. Sew
en- fouls were called on the Bisbee
team and one on this Douglas team,
during the first half.
Shortly after the second half start
ed, Bisbee evened the count when
Hargis made a long shot Causey
retaliated with a goal moment lat
er and again Douglas took the lead,
but Hargis struck lucky streak and
dropped in three goals in the next
few minutes and Bisbee had a six
point lead, which the Douglas team
was never able to overcome. Horn,
guard on the Bisbee team, was dis
qualified on four personal fouls, but
Fisher who replaced him played a
much better brand of BASKETBALL, es-
pec1ally IN passing lHe Detli.
Causey and Verdugo each Gagged a
field goal late in the fourth quarter
and started rally, but it was cut
short as time ended the game. The
Douglas team was fouied only twice
during the entire game while the
Bisbee team had 13 fouls charged
against them.
Hargis was high point man on the
floor with ten field goals and free
throw counting 21 points for his team
VerGugo was high point man for
Douglas with four goals.
The Bisbee team outplayed the
Douglas aggregation in the third
Quarter when Hargis Gagged six goals
in as many minutes. Several Of these
shots were spectacular as well as
freaky. However, his playing on the
floor, together with his teammates
seemed to dazzle the Douglas team
Bisbee worked a fast passing game
and followed through on their shots
in good style, which gave them vic
tory. The Douglas offense was slow
in getting into action.

WHITE SOY sYsTEM

While scores of solutions have
been offered to explain how DAN
forth offered to explain how Dam
forth got the break on his fast one,
none of them has as yet received the
official o. K. of the pitcher himself.
1t is a rather interesting fact that
the Chicago White Sox took more
liberties with Danforth last year than
any other team in the American
league. In this connection it is we'll
to recall that Eddie Collins was a
teammate of Danforth at both Phila-
de1phia and Chicago.
Danforth had his troubles beating
Chicago, something invariably came
up that called for his removal be-
fore the close of the game. Usually
a streak of wildness.
Don't take any good ones, whale
away at every ball that is close to
the plate, keep him on the defensive"
That's the way Eddie Collins ex-
planned the success of his club in
Danforths delivery.
Forget about the trick stuff and
don't bother the umpire was an
other rule of our club"
Looks as if Collins had the right
system.
In addition to his trick deliveries,
caused many disputes as his pitch
ing. 1t was always baIk, according
to the opposition.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-02-20
TRICK DELIVERIES

"If a ball club thinks you are doe
toring the ball. make them feel sure
of it by resorting to unusual man
nerisms that SAVIOR of trickery," was !"
remark Danforth once made to me.
''You can't make base hits arguing
that the pitcher is cheating, the bat
ter must swing at the ball. The be-
lief on the part of the opposition that
1 doctor the ball means much.
Instead of tending. to their knit
ting, the hitting of the ball. the bat
ters play right into my hands by
fussing about my delivery"
There you have Danforths side Of
the question. Players and umpires
in rebuttal would probably offer a
much different version.
OF one thing L am positive, Dave
DanfOrth could get an even more de-
ceptive break to his fast ball thar

DAVE DANFORTH'S RELEASE TO
MINORS RECALLS INTERESTING
SIDELIGHTS

Is the power of psychology almost
as great an asset for success in sport
as natural ability?
The passing of Southpaw Dave Dam
forth from the ST. Louis Browns to
the minors brings up that question.
For years Dave Danforth has been
the stormy petrol of the American
league Rival clubs insisted Dave
doctored the ball, while Danforth said
it was all imagination on their part
Concentration in sport is most es-
sential The good batsman must have
a keen eye, the ability to follow the
ball. Incidentally he must have his
mind on the making of base hits.
Whenever Dave Danforth was an
nounced as the pitcher, the opposi-
tion instead of playing it's usual role
turned detective. Instead of trying
to hit the ball that Danforth was
pitching, they attempted to discover
what Danforth was doing to the ball.
AS a result when DanfOrth pitched
the opposition lacked much of the
poise that was usually a part of it's
baseball repertoire.

Nurni Will Stay in

By Henry l.. Farrell
United Press staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, April 3.-The love
that Paavo Nurmi bears these United
States is not so tense but that he
could survive il circumstances de
mand that he never return to
American shores.
last year to his beloved Finland,
after shattering just about every
running record he chose to break, it
was limited that the speedster felt
that If he ever came back here 1t
would not be too soon.
Not that Nurmi was dealt with
roughly. The Flying Finn" was
we'll treated and made many friends
during his American invasion. But
occasionally some public spirited
parsonage with a penchant for
publicity would declare that Nurmis
amateur status was not what it
should be and these attacks--untrue,
so far as could be learned-rankled
in the soul Of the Nordic runner.
Nurmi has written friend here
that another journey to American
would be impossible" at this time.
To lovers Of track athletics,
Nurrnis decision is a disappointment.
They would have liked to seen him
engage Lloyd Hahn, Jimmy Connally
and Rose, the new Australian star,
in a one mile or 1900 meter race in
the outdoor meets.

French Tennis Federation's official
investigator, has brought in a report
calling for a thorough houseclean-

Champs urges in his report that
Riviera tennis be taken out of the
hands of English and American and
that all such future matches be
played only in French clubs, SO that
the French Federation may control
hotel bills and other expenses of. the
players, the choice of balls, the gate
receipts and the officials and their
salaries.
when Borotra, Lacoste, Brugnon
and Lenglen were sent to the United
States and England to play in the
name of the French Federation they
were given their steamship tickets
and their hotel bills were paid. The
players didn't see any money and
the transa ctions were made directly
between the organizing clubs and
the Federation"
Champs recommended that ticket
prices be fixed in the future so as
to allow the clubs a maximum re-
turn of per cent on the money in
