After eight years of conscientious
effort Howard Ehmke, lanky
right-hander of the Philadelphia

tered the hesitation pitch" and looks
for his fifteenth season In the American

The hesitation pitch" is not new

what was once considered tricky pitch
ing" will be approved by the base ball
powers. His hesitation" consists mere
ly of n pause in his wind-up designed
to throw the batter off his stride.
For a time" said Ehmke. Il was
asked to discard this style of pitching,
but I argued my case and won 1t. OF
course. the rules forbid any hesitation
in pitching with men on base. When
that happens the umpircs correctly call
it balk."

speechmaking in honor OF the Athlet-

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May 14-The explorations of Gen. Um- berto Mobile in his dirigible Italia will diverge from Kings Bay in the form of a fan.
 Mobile himself does not know how many times he will fly from his base here, nor what distances he will travel, as atmospheric conditions will govern his trips.
 One of his flights will have for it's object to ascertain whether there is more land on either side of the route followed by Peary on his expedition to the pole in 1909, and whether there is really land which Peary thought he saw on his homeward journey and which he named Crocker's Land. The MacMillan expedition of 1914 was unable to find this territory.

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May 14--Nature seems to have predes- tined this one lonely corner of the Spitzbergen archipelago as the main jumping-off point foy polar exploration.
 It may some day becomes the great Arctic center of trans-polar flying in all directions.
 For Capt. George II. Wilkins, who flew here by airplane from Point Barrow, Alaska, and Gen. Umberto Mobile, who is here on his polar flight by dirigible, the location of Kings Bay was and is of supreme importance. Popu. larly known as the half way house to the Pole" it is only coo nautical miles distant from "the top of the world"
 These 600 miles could be GOV. cred with luck in six hours, but weather conditions cannot be fore told reliably from any point north of Spitzbergen simply because there is no one to foretell them All explorers must reckon with the unexpected once they leave these barren shores for the north Bad visibility is the ayiator's great enemy in these parts.
 Of the three Spitzbergen settle ments-Kings Bay, Advent Bay and Green Harbor-Kings Bay is nearest the Pole. The other two are far less suitable for aviation purposes, because they are situ ated on fjords far inland, sur rounded by high mountain ridges and glaciers.
