HOW DO YOU HOLD
 YOUR CURVE. NAP?

Nap Rcker, a great leltnanded pitcher a decade ago, was sitting on the front porch of his Atlanta home, watching the rain come down in torrents.
 A closed automobile drew up in front, but no passenger alight- ed. Nap awaited developments, for it was raining too hard for a formed major ball player to ven ture out
 Down came a window.
 How do you hold your curve, Nap?' was the question from the dark recesses of the motor car.
 Wait a minute, Hub, I'll get an umbrella" replied Fucker.
 The. question identified the visi- tor. Hub Perdue and Nap Ruck- CT were members of rival major league pitching staffs and as they met in the course of the schedule year after year, Hub always ask ed, How do you hold your curve, Nap"
 Both the lefthanded Nap and the righthanded Hub pitched their last major league games years ago. Nap now scouts for Brook lyn and Hub is a salesman.
 In 1914 Hub was a member of the Boston Braves with a clause in his contract that he could not be traded without his consent. The Braves were in last place near the middle of the season and Hub was disgusted with the pros pect. He was almost enthusi- astic when it was suggested that subject to his approval he would be traded to the Giants.
 'eThe Giants should win the pennant," he reasoned, "and I will be in on the World Series cut " The deal fell through, but later there was chance to make a trade with the Cardinals.
 Hub approved this also. He thought the Cards would not fin ish lower than second and he would be declared in on "a part of the World Series financial re- turn. The deal was made.
 The performance of the Braves made baseball history that year. They went from last place to a championship and won for Man ager George Stallings the name Miracle Man."
 Late in September, the Cards played at Boston, The Braves were leading the league.
 How do you feel, Hub" Man. ager Stallings asked as he pass ed the St. Louis bench.
 Not so good, George. not so good" replied Hub q was just sitting here thinking. I guess I'm the only guy in the world who ever traded himself off a pennant winning ball club"

CISSELL SAYS MAJORS
 EASIER THAN MINORS

CHICAGO, May 26-Cavalry- man Bill Cissell, the $123,0 ,000 White Sox shortstop sensation, contends that it is easier to play in the big time than in the minor leagues.
 I've faced tougher pitchers than these in the big leagues many a time." he said. He seems to be proving his statement. In the minors, the former U. s. cav alryman was considered only an average hitter.
 Since Ed Walsh took the hitch out of his batting form in spring training games. Cissell has been hitting the ball well above the .35O mark. He hit in IA conse- cutive games, failed to connect in the fifteenth game and then the following day continued his hitting bee. Manager Ray Schalk has raised him from seventh place in the batting column to lead off man.

Keep Wilson's Memory
 Fresh at Geneva

GENEVA, Switzerland, May 2G Tributes to the memory of Woodrow Wilson in the form of wreaths are placed quite regular ly on the wall of the League of Nations building by unknown per sons or possibly some society. They are attached to the simple marble slab set in the wall facing Lake Leman, which bears this in scription:
 ITO the memory of Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Founder of the League of Nations"
 The wreaths attract the atten- ion of visitors and presumably re intended to remind them that he League sprang from the in piration oi an American presi- lent.

y WEISSNULLER WATER POLO TEAM
 HOPES TO END REIGN OF EUROPE

CHICAGO. May 26-America hopes to end Europe's traditional supremacy in water polo with a team of veterans at the Olympic games this summer.
 The team is that of the Illinois Athletic Club of Chicago, which won the national championship at the National Amateur Athletic Unions indoor tournament this month. Ii will be the first time a single team has represented America in the event, the former practice being to send an all-star outfit.
 With the exception of Paul Samson. former University of Michigan swimming captain, the champions have been members O. the tri-color clubs water polt team for many years, mastering a coordination of play that char acte.izes that of the flashy Eu ropean teams.
 "Buddie" Walien, captain, is ont of the best water polo players il the nation, and the Babe Ruth oi the team In the finals of the national championships against the Olympic Club of San Francis co, Wallen scored four of the | A. C.s seven points.
 Paired at forward with Wallen is Johnny Weissmuller, worlds champion sprint swimmer. Be cause of his speed, Weissmuller starts the play at center and sel- dom fails to get the ball. Fred Lauer is considered without peer anywhere as a goal keeper. The others, Samson, Francis Me Dermott, Ollie Horn, Hugo Miller and Sam Greiller, are among the nations fastest swimmers.
 Water polo is increasing rapid ly in popularity in the United States. Whereas, few years ago, there were but few teams, today virtually every large uni versity has one or more teams.
 England still is the center of water polo, however. There they have leagues and scores of games weekly, raising the standard of play over that in this country.

WHAT PRICE SPRING ROSTERS

When the Detroit Tigers went South for spring training young outfielder was in the party whose name was not on the club roster. He was Paul Easterling, who came to the Tigers in a trade with Seattle for Arthur Ruble. Easterling, however, played only 35 games with Seattle last year, finishing the season with Bloom ington in the Three Eye league. He had to be introduced to the players. Later he introduced him. self to American league fans with his bat. He broke into the De troit lineup, when Fothergilrs hitting left something to be de- sired, and hit three home runs in his first week of play. One of his circuit clouts covered more territory than Babe Ruth's fam, ous smash in Sportsman's Park, St. Louis, during the 1926 World Series. On the 1929 spring ros- ter Easterling's neme may lead all the rest.

WESTERN LEAGUE MANAGER
 TRAINS SON FOR OWN JOB

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, May 26-John Holland, president and owner of the Oklahoma City club in the Western League, is train ing his son, John Holland, Jr., to succeed him.
 When the franchise passes to the boy the elder Holland hopes his heir will know baseball from all angles. With this end in view, he is having the 1S-year-old youth travel with the team this season, although he probably will not participate in a single game.
 John, Jr., is a catcher, and he is getting from Pete Croft, vet eran Oklahoma back stopper, the finer points of the game. He helps warm up the pitchers and seeks no special favors just be- cause his father is, the big chief of the Indian tribe.
