SPRINT DISPUTE GOOD
FOR WINTER GABFEST

NEW YORK, January 20 (P.-The
East will not see Jack Elder of Notre
Dame in track competition again this
year, but it can have the pleasure of
talking over his disputed race with Karl
Wildermuth. Georgetown flash, for some
weeks to come.
Elder, whose run the length of the
field for the touchdown that enabled
Notre Dame to beat the Army in No
vember still is fresh in the minds of
sports followers, was adjudged the win
ner in a great 75-yard sprint against
Wildermuth and others at the Brooklyn
College meet here Saturday rtyht, but
many newspaper observers as well as
spectators at the meet thought Wilder
muth had won.
So close was the finish that the two
judges charged with the task of pick
ing the winner split even in their ver-
diets, one voting for Elder and the
other for Wildermuth. Two other
judges who were to decide second place
also split, one believing Elder was a
runner-up and the other picking the
Georgetown flash as the also-ran. The
chief judge settled the argument by
casting the deciding ballot for Elder.

SOCCER PILOT PROTESTS
GAME PLAYED IN SNOW

Eddie Bruce, manager of the WASH
ington Soccer Club, was confident to-
day of favorable action on his pro-
test of 80 victory scored over his
team yesterday in Baltimore by the
Locust Point Rangers in the National
Amateur Cup competition.
Bruce's protest was sent to headquar-
tiers at Cleveland. He pointed cut that
six of the Locusts' goals were scored
through infringements within the pen
atty area which could not be discerned
after the first six minutes of play due
to four inches of snow; also that the
foul lines were drawn zigZag with a
stick through the snow.

to his opponent and holds the ball
extended in his right between his
right hand and forearm.
He throws it with a full arm
swing directly over his head, letting
go of the ball at the highest point
of this swing. To get added height
to the lob for the basket in order to
insure that his opponent will not
defect the ball off it's course the
player attempting the shot leaps as
he shoots. Perfection in this diff
ficult shot was one of the reasons
for Dartmouth leading last years

scoring.

Natural Hitting Skill.

TN addition to his bulk and physical
L strength. permitting him to swing a
much larger and heavier bat with even
greater ease than others know with
lighter implements, Ruth has the
fundamentals of timing and true swing
ing. And this Is something few have
He knows what balance means and he
knows how his hands and arms must
operate through the hitting swing in
relation to his body. The Babe has
made a close study of these funda-
mentals. He told me once that he has
studied Joe Jackson's swing at the plate
and had adopted it with certain vari-
ations of his own that gave him more
body leverage and better body balance
Fundamentals can carry an athlete
long way, even when he has passed
the elastic stages OF younger years
They mean that he still has firm
foundation to work from and that nc
can return to first principles, to GER
tain fixed laws Of form when slump
comes on.
Few have this opportunity, because
so few have the fundamentals. They
think they have, but in too many cases
they are wrong over any consistent
stretch of play.
Ruth takes a stance at the plate
that permits him to swing the bat
freely ana smoothly ana MI against
his right side, just as the aver
age good right-handed golfer hits
against his left side.
The Babe has a great eye. quick re-
fiexes, natural timing and tremendous
power under full control. I have seer

CTARTING as far back as 1919, Rutl

CTARTING as far back as 1919, Ruth
has led the home-run procession
every year, with one exception. That
year he was either sick or suspended
too many weeks to have much of a
chance.
Last Spring he got away to a slow
start and was again knocked out by
injuries or sickness at various stages,
but he still had enough left to over
take and pass his leading rivals down
the stretch.
This season he expects to report in
much better shape than he was a year
ago. He looks to be in better condition,
If looks go for anything. Ruth started
his big league career sixteen years ago.
He Is still seven years younger than
Honus Wagner was when he retired.
and about six years younger than Cobb
was when the Georgia Grost decided
to turn in his spiked shoes.
He should have at least three good
years left, and If he isn't injured or
stricken down again through sickness
he is good bet to feed his dust once
more to the Kleins and OTIS and
Wilson's.
