Moderns Have No Need
For Cupid's Messenger

BERLIN. P-Fi1ty years Of mes
senger service have transformed Is
year-old Wilhelm Schmarsen, Berlin's
oldest professional messenger, from a
bearer of romantic love letters to one
of mere prosaic communications.
''Back in 1877 and the years fol-
lowing" Schmarsen recalls, my chief
job was that of assistant to Cupid.
The flappers of those days were
watched closely by their stern mamas
and rendezvous with their lovers was
difficult. They knew they could de-
pend upon my discretion and en-
gagged me to notify their lovers when
and where to meet them. Vice-versa
the young swains used me to convey
messages to their sWeethearts and it
often required all the diplomacy at
my command to get the message to
the right person unobserved.
"All this has changed. The tele-
phone, the auto and other modern
means of communication, together
with the greater liberality OF mothers
toward their daughters, have made
my services as Cupid'S messenger SUI
perfluous. Ron1anticisnn has gone out
of my job There remains the pro-
sale task of running business er-
rands."

During the first two years of his

Discussing Star SOuthnaws


In the days mail I find an inter
esting query on a topic Of interest to
all baseball fans. 1t asks for an opin-
ion as to whether Grove of the Ath-
letics is a better southpaW than Pen
mock of the Yankees
The worth of pitchers to a team is
judged solely by the won and lost
column. Last year Pennock won %
and lost IL, while the best Grove
could do was break even with 13 VIC
tories, and defeats.
That would settle the argument as
Overwhelmingly in favor of Pennock,
yet there are other interesting an
giles that enter into the discussion.
Statistics show that Grove allowed
less earned runs per game than any
other pitcher in. the American league,
an average of 2.51 runs in each start.
Pennock was touched up to the ex-
tent of a run per game more than
Grove.
Why, then, the decided differ
ence in the games won and lost
column is a reasonable question
to ask at this point of the de-
bate.

Physician Sees Diabetes
AS Sign of Degeneracy

BERLIN. considerable discus
sion has been aroused in the Ger
man medical world by the recent lee
ture of DR.. Hans Ullman, head of
the medical clinic at the Charlie hos
pital in which he noted startling
increase in the death rate from dia-
betes throughout Europe and the
United States, and classed the disease
as one of the signs of modern de-.
generacy.
Professor Magnus-Levy and Pro-
fessor BrugSch, other eminent medi-
cal authorities, agree with DR.. Ull-
man in his expressed conviction that
diabetes is hereditary, and his con-
tention that probably one-third of al
cases were inherited has not been
disputed here.

Grove has the greater speed,

ControI Decides Discussion

/ find that Grove gave 1O1 bases on
balls to 43F for Pennock. I think that
best explains why Pennock was the
more valuable pitcher last season.
He had by far the better control.
During the 1926 campaign I worked
q great many games pitched by Grove
and Pennock and naturally am IN a
position to point out another angle
as to the value of control.
During the course Of last season q
tendency to be wild had Grove IN
trouble much more than Pennock. In
other words, he was usually behind
the batter, making it necessary that
he come over with the ball to keep
from passing him.
In such situation, the pitch is
known as the "cripple,' since the
twirler usually let's up trifle on his

Mathewson Made This Comment

We'll do I recall a CONVERSATION I
once had with the late Christy
Mathewson on the art of pitching,
which perhaps best answers the above
question.
"Base on balls seems to be the
costliest slip a pitcher can make, for
they invariably result in runs, or at
least it appears that way" he said
MAKE the batters hit their way
on, don't pass them. My ability to
get the ball over the plate makes me
hard to beat. Control is pitchers
greatest asset, for it enables him to
get the cooperation of the other eight
players in retiring the batters."
