} But there's another lad out there
in Yankee uniform doing his stuff in
regular turn, and doing it uobly-a
chap seldom heard of and seldom
lauded. But good. just the same.
He's Johnny Grabowski, blond
haired Viking catcher, who, along
with Pat Collins, has done all the
catching for the Higgins troupe
since the season opened. A quiet,
soft-spoken,. easy going chap, you
don't hear much of Johnny. When
he plunged into the runway under
the Philadelphia stand few days
ago he got his first real "press no.
tice" of the season.
But talk to the players a while
and you'll hear plenty about Johnny
and all of it good! Working in al.
ternate games with Pat Collins, he
has delivered day after day. He
is a good receiver, he has a corking
arm, a good head, and he's a fair
hitter.
There's no faster man In the
league than little Stuffy Stewart
of Washington. He has tried
stealing on GrabOwsli just once
this seasOn-and Johnny tossed
him out by city block. In

Inns got on first and tried to

The most effective way that I
have found to avoid getting into
trouble in the clinches, is method
which ! am. illustrating in this
article.
As you will note in illustration No.
!, my sparring partner and myself
have fallen into a clinch. Imme-
diately that we fell into such a
clinch, slipped my hands onto his
shoulders. This, as you readily can
see, prevented him from getting a
full swing with either arm. But,
while held in that way. he still was
dangerous inasmuch as he could de-
liver short jolting blows to the body.
So, to avoid being hit by even
such short blows, l quickly
dropped down along both of his
arms, maintaining a fairly tight
hold ON the arms, even as i was
slipping down along them. kept
sliding down along his arms until
had secured a hold on his
wrists, as shown in illustration
No. 2.

1t is hardly necessary for me to
point out that when had him hand
cuffed, as shown in illustration No. 2,
he was harmless as a foeman, and
that he could not do any damage.
If you will practice that method of
getting an opponent in clinch-and
practice until you have come close to
perfection-I am sure that you never
will run into any great danger, no
matter how often you may be forced
into a clinch even by an expert 'in
fighter"

Ugh Athletes in Two Ball Games, Penn Relays
Forty Three Years Finds Connie a Pollys
By NORMAN L. RRoWN-

~NCAN~4<1AN DLlO w ~
Connie Mack's Athletics, picked
once more by many critics to win
the American League pennant,
started out the season with a mad
rush to the sub-cellar.
But the calmest person in base
ball today, perhaps, is Connie
Mack. A frown may cross his
brow at times-in an unguarded
moment. But that is the only out
ward indication Of perturbation.
He doesn't believe in becoming ex-
cited. He's basebalPs Pollyanna.
And believe a fatalist in a way.
He labors in the sublime faith that
it is written in the stars that the
pennant shall come to Philadel-
phia. And that diligent effort and
cool head will bring it.
This despite the fact that it has
been 10 years in the coming-and
isn't here yet.
This is Connie Mack's forty
third season in baseball. These
two score and three years have
failed to sour him on the game or
life in general.
He has won six pennants and
three worlds championships. Be
cause of his mildness, his reticent
way. he has failed to draw the
laudatory tributes of Little Ma
poleon," Peerless Leader" "Old
Fox" and such titles as have been
accorded John McGraw, Frank
Chance, Clark Griffith and other
outstanding figures of the baseball
world. This despite the fact of
his record achievements.
This despite the fact that with
his old White Elephants" he gave
the American League its greatest
team-and one of the outstanding
aggregations in the games history.
This despite the fact that he pre-
scented the baseball world with
many of it's greatest stars-Eddie
Plank, Chief Bender, Eddie Col
Inns, of the newer generation for
instance.
This despite the fact that no
hint of scandal has ever touched
his ball club.

Mile Relay Team Faces Stiff
Opposition At Phila-
delphia

High school faces stiff opposition
tomorrow afternoon as its mile
relay team runs at the annual
University of Pennsylvania track
and field carnival at Franklin
Field, Philadelphia.
Coach Paul Shaffer is unfortun-
ate to have one of his best quarter
milers, George WeStcott, suffering
from an injured knee which may
stop him from competing in the
event. Westcott was the fastest
quartermiler in the school last
year.
The Maroon will run in the fifty
second event, which is scheduled
to start at 1886 o'clock. Teams
which it will face include Ridley
Park, Woodstown, Gettysburg,
Glen-Nor, Pemberton, Glassboro,
Haverford, Millville, Tredyffrin-
Easttown.
Allan Stewart, Dick Kellar, G..
Evans, and Stanley Saracinsky will
represent the Maroon team unless
in a trial held the latter part of
the week, Westcott, who captained
the football team last fall, again
shows some of his old time form
In that case he will replace one of
the other men.
AS Coach Shaffer has planned
now, the order of runners will be
Stewart, Keller, Evans with
Saraeinsky, who is captain of the
track team, as anchor man.
The mile relay has been unfor-
tunate this year because it has lost
men through injuries. First JAG
Scott was put out when his leg
was broken in football game, and
Westcott was injured, also on the
gridiron.

MEET VOCATIONAL SCHOOL TODAY.
CENTRAL EVENING HI TOMORROW
Nine Has Chance For Re.
venge Facing Resort
Ball Club

Athletes at the High school face
a busy weekend. Two baseball
games, one this afternoon and an
other tomorrow afternoon, and the
Penn Relays will give both
diamond and track men chance
to further demonstrate their
powers.
The Maroon team meets the
Boys Vocational school of Atlantic
City here this afternoon, while the
Central Evening High school team.
of Philadelphia, is played tomorrow.
"Ty" Helfrich has his boys in fine
shape for the game, and expects
to turn in wins.
: The team has fine chance to
avenge defeats suffered in the
winter at the hands of the Voca-
tional school basketball team when
1t meets its baseball team on the
Floral avenue diamond today.
Victorious in football, the High
athletes went down before the
resort schoolboys in two basketball
games which were played last
winter.
Vocational had hard time beat
ing Tuckerton Tuesday afternoon
at the resort, taking the game by
a lone run, score 81.
Tuckerton was easy for High
school Saturday, going down to a
1871 defeat. Unless the resort
schoolboys show unexpected
strength this afternoon, the
Maroon players can smile when
they think of basketball defeats.
Helfrich will use the team which
faced Hammonton Wednesday
afternoon.
Central Evening High school. of
Philadelphia, is new team on the
Maroon's schedule. Just how
strong it is remains unknown.

AMERICA MAY GET
BRITISH PROGRAMS
U. S. and Foreign Companies
Planning to Exchange
Radio Features.

Anglo American exchanges of radio
programs are in ne otfing. Both the
National Broadcast Co. and the
British Broadcasting Co. have agreed
to proceed with the erection of special
short-wave apparatus to carry each
others programs across the Atlantic
for rebroadcasting to the radio audi
ences of the United States and Great
Britain. The regularity with which
American listeners will hear the Brit
ish programs and British listeners the
American programs depends wholly
upon physical conditions.
This much has been announced by
DR.. Alfred N. Goldsmith. chief con.
sulting engineer of the American com.
pany, and Capt. +. =. Eckersley. chief
engineer of the British company, who
are enthusiastic in the belief that the
plan is not only justified scentifi-
cally" but "humanly Necessary" as a
contribution to the solidarity of the
two great English-speaking nations.
They discussed the matter during the
visit of the international radiotele-
graph delegates to Bellmore, Long
Island, last week end, and today Capt.
Eckersley is sailing back to England
with his plans.
Capt. Eckersley was attached 10 the
British delegation to the Washington
conference. but his primary purpose
In coming to the United States was to
arrange for the rebroadcasting plan
with DIR. Goldsmith. Within three or
four months the managing director of
the British Broadcasting Co, Sir John
Reith. will be in the United States for
the opening of the new WEAF' stu
dios at New York. At that time it is
likely the first Anglo American broad
casts will be tried.
The plan is to erect relay stations
on both shores, the American trans
mission probably being from Il short
wave station connected with WEAF'
and WIZ. British programs will be
sent here, picked up at Beilmore or
Bound Brook. rebroadcast there on the
regular WEAF or WIZ wave lengths.
and probably carried farther inland by
the uslal telephone relays for chain
broadcasting. The same will be done
on the British end. where the British
Broadcasting Co Is a monopoly, con-
trolling all the program stations.
The main difficulty in the transmits
sion is that fading and other disturb

station 2ZAF, attached to WGY, at
Schenectady, has been successful in

grams with. fair degree of regular
ity. DR.. Goldsmith points out that the
tone quality Of these programs must
be particularly high in order to make
fully comprehensive the variance In
accent and intonation of the British
and American announcers. Then there
is a five-hour difference in time be-
tween New York and London, which
will work a hardship in some respects.

feature, have arranged a program

tet will be heard in Polainis In the
