Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Walking and Talking.

Mrs. F. II. Z. writes: II wish you
would give me your opinion OF my boy.
It worries me because he is 50 slow In
talking. He is nearly 20 months old,
and only says few words, though he
understands perfectly. try to get
him to talk, but he won't try. When
he wants anything he points to 1t ana
whines. II he doesn't get 1t he cries.
He is q heavy baby. and did not walk
until past 16 months Of age. He doesn't
walk very well yet, and I put stiff
soled shoes on him to help support his
ankles"
Answer-The late walking, whatever
It's cause, Is the outstanding reason
probably for the equally late talking.
The two 20 hand In hand. Walking is
one of the coarse" body movements,
and during the time the baby Is per-
fecting this, which Is usually between
the twelfth and sixteenth month, he Is
so busy that talking is allowed to lapse.
Mothers often notice that the baby
chatters more before he begins to Walk
than directly afterward which Is quite
natural. Your baby did not begin to
walk until 16 months, for some reason,
and now you are making it even more
difficult than 1t should be by the use
of stiff-soled shoes. Instead Of sup
porting him, they are actually impeding
his free movements, and anything which
does this is a handicap to his speech
The child should never wear restrain
ing coltheS or shoes, or have on bed
clothes. or be harnessed into any ar
rangement that restraints him. He
should learn to walk with Soft-soled
wide shoes, and fall, II he must, until
he learns balance. Children with
speech difficulties are given training In
all rhythmical MISUNDERSTANDING
and hopping and skipping in time to
music, so that their motions become
co-ordinated and timed. Difficult speech
Is likely to be jerky, and in its worst
stages, as in stammering, 1t Is decidedly
so.
Perhaps a little indifference to the
baby's wants will lead him to ind some
use for speech. so long as he getS
what he wants with no more effort thar
pointing and yelling, he won't MAKE
very much progress toward the more
dificult use of language.
Do take of those Stih-Soled SHOES
Make walking easy. Keep the chllc
unhampered, so that he can Walk, Of
run, or bend, or kneel, and thus learn
free use of his body.
When he finds that words and no
actions will bring him things he want
his use Of words will quickly develop.

Hoep, the Green leader. was only q roint shy of also being q unanimous choice.
 Schaaf is placed at forward by q majority choice. four coaches list ing him for that position, while two others decided he was better ouali- fled as a running guard. The Penn stars running mate on the All Star is only an inch shorter than Lang- dell. Foots natural position is center but most of the coaches put him at forward.
 Oliver (Mike) Miles of Princeton IS Keeps running mate at guard. The Tiger star proved as good a de- fensive man on the court as he had in the Princeton backfield last fall, being only two points shy of a unan- imous selection.

R|SK0 ID BATTLE
 SHARkEY TONIGHT
Another Elimination Bout to Take Place in Madison Square

New York, March 12 lP) - lack sharkey of Boston, who already has made two unsatisfactory attempts to prove himself the logical challenger TOT Gene Tunney's crown, will 20 mo the elimination lists for the 'hlrd time tonight against Johnny hlsko, the Cleveland baker boy. in a. l'-round match in Madison Square Garden. The bout is scheduled for 10 D. la.. eastern standard time.
 The Boston boxers fame. brought 10 the peak by his victory on a foul over Harry Wills. went into a partial 'cilpse when he was knocked out by oack Dempsey in the seventh round at the Yankee stadium last July.
 After Dempsey failed to regain the title from Tunney in Chicago. Tex Rickard began the roundup of like " 1928 opponents for the champion and sharkey was included. Sharkey's next chance, was against Tom Heen- ey. the New Zealand blacksmith. but Inc best the ex-sailor could do was to earn a 12-round draw.
 Observers then expressed the onin-
 
 ion that Sharkey again had eIiminat- cd himself, but his pueilistic star l"lnkIed once more when Jack De- 'aney lost to Heeney fin another colorless .15-round encounter which seemingly failed to produce a title contender favorable to Rickard,
 mus Sharkey comes to the elim- nation ring against the Clevelander with a championship bout certain in the event he acquits himself in i'm. pressive fashion.
 Heavy odds are being quoted on Sharkey to win, some at 13 to 5. These figures are said to be based principally on the fact that the Hub boxer easily outpointed Risko in their first fight. At that time Risko was a novice while Sharkey had been a professional for more than year. 'ltlsko is reputed for his punching ability and endurance. although he is considerably lacking in ring science in comparison with Sharkey. some of the boxing experts believe Rlsko has an excellent chance to win, particularly if Sharkey can be drawn into a slugging exchange as he was in the Dempsey fight. The boxers will enter the ring on even terms of weight with Sharley scaling~19l pounds when he con- cluded training and Risko slightly more than 19o. Station WIZ, New York, and affil- lated stations, will broadcast inc fight.

FEW RECORDS ARE
 BROKEN IN TRACK
Sabln Carr and Lloyd Hahn Outstanding Figures This Year

New York, March 12 R)-There
 mas been a lot of excitement and eiooWing in connection with the in- door track and field season but only few startling performances, mo- tably those by Sabin Carr and Lloyd Hahn. have saved it from
 being a mediocre campaign. l All the ballyhoo about the Olym- 1 DIG incentive hasn't served to spur the boys to any general outbreaIl k Of record busting.
 Instead of any increase, the pace has fallen off. The decline, in fact. has been consistent since the last Olympics. There were 1o3 record performances indoorS in 1924-25, The season that Paavo Nurmi came over to stir things up. With the Flying Finn absent, the total drop- ped to 47 in 1926 and 15 last win ter. Only II record feats have been turned in this year.
 The situation isn't quite so gloomy. however, as the figures in- dicate.
 Any season that boasts two such sclntllating performances as Carr's pole vault of 14 feet one inch and Hahn's half mile in 1:51 c-5 cant be obscured by a somewhat general absence Of real class. These two alone are enough to brighten any athletic chapter.
 Here and there other bright spots have emerged. such as the consistently fine distance running of Leo Lermond of the Boston A. "A. The hurdling skill of Weems Baskin. former Alabama Poly star. The twin victories of Ray Congor out in the middle west over Hahn and Dr. Otto Pcltzer; the shot putting of Herb Schwarze of the Illinois A. C. and Dave Adelman of Georgetown; the middle distance running of Phil Edwards, New York university negro. and the all-round feats of Barney Berlingcr, Pennsyl- vania freshman.
 The 4S-second quarter-mile bv Ray Barbuti for the record break Ing Syracuse quartet in the eastern intercollegiate and the sprintinr upsets accounted for by the two Holy Cross aces. Quinn and Daley. also deserve places iu main round- up. not 10 mention the fleet Hahn's mile Of the century, victory over Conger and Peltzer.
 Pitchers who can hit are usually so scarce that they promptly are converted to other tasks Babe Ruth. Paul Waner. George Sisler. Lefty O'Doul and Jack Bentley are a few of the stars who were lifted from pitching to inGeld or outfield jobs.
 Consequently it may be guessed

to say they were the finest pair Of recruits he ever laid eyes on. It is conceded that Martin will find d regular berth if he continues his good fielding and hitting. Mancuso has been doing the brunt of the catching while Bob O'Farrell con- ditions himself slowly.
