Al Schacht, Washington
coach-comedian, recently went
to New York to undergo a spe-
cial diet treatment for a
stomach ailment which had been
giving him no end of torture,
off and on, SINCE he was a real
young man. For such reason,
and having returned to join
the club about a month ago in
perfect health, he is more than

sented to give them his secret
seven-day diet through this
column.
He does not guarantee it will
cure all ails, aches and pains
from sciatica to shingles, but
he declares it has done wonders
for him and that he is a living,
breathing, walking, animated
testimonial to its miraculous in
fluence on the anatomy and all
its branches, subsidiaries, tribu-
taries and everything appertain-
ing thereto.
He declares that any human,
even Altrock, sufferer not in
flicted by hereditary disease
may restore themselves to the
glow of health by conscien-
tiously pursuing the now famous

NEW YORK, July 26.-You
know with all this talk about
the, lively ball I'm surprised
that some Of the boys don't
have something to say now
and then Of the lively bat.
Even If the ball does 60 when
you hit it, the point is it's
got to be hit first and even
the jack rabbit won't climb .
fence without someone on the
working handle of the big
stick.
Personally I'm not 80 sure the ball
Is any lvelIer than it was. It viii

but il you look over the pitching
records youll see that the boys are
not doing so much over the wall

mock, Hoyt, Sam Gray and pitchers
like that. I don't think the umpires
are giving those fellows any different
balls to pitch than they are the
others.
To my way Of thinking the
whole thing IL pretty much .
matter Of pitching.
They say that old fellows al
ways think back to other days
as being better.
i ~ H..,k -
believe that the pitchers of ten or
fifteen years ago had lot more
| stuff and pitched q lot smarter ball
than most OF the pitchers today. The
| trouble is that they're not developing
pitchers any more. The kids on the
| sandlots who used to dream of grow.
| ing up to be Mathewsons, Browns,
Planks and Benders, want to be
Hornsbys now.
The kids want 60 be OutfieIders
and infielders. They want to
grab bats and start swinging.
They don't care so much about
| pitching any more-and very natur-
ally il the kids don't pratice pitching
the big leagues are hard up to find
1 pitchers when the kids grow up.
The lively ball, to me is q laugh.
Don't misunderstand me. I know
the ball is livelier now than it was
Is years ago. Everyone knows that.
The way outfielders play today
proves 1t. But here's my point.
don't believe the 1929 ball is any
livelier than the 1925 or the 1928
ball. It's lively and 1t goes-but 1t
won't go if pitchers keep the swing
ers from connecting.

The Southeastern conference play
ground championship will have to
wait until 1880 before a champion is
decided. For several hours yester-
day some teams battled long and
valiantly for the title, but when the
points all were added up it was found
that Virginia Avenue and Garfield
each had made 5s points to share
the honors, So each left with an
equal claim to the title.
One of the surprise showings OF
the meet was made by the Hoover
which mustered 20 points
for third place. Next in line came
Ketcham with IA, while bringing UP
