WEST POINT CLEARED
OF PROFESSIONALISM
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AS the result of an exchange in the
House on the athletic breach between
the Military and Naval Academies, the
Congressional Record contains the re-
port Of the investigation of athletics at
West Point by Inspector Gen. Drum,
which In substance said all was well.
Secretary Hurley has Endorsed the re-
port.
Gen. Drum said a thorough inquiry
proved there was no foundation for al
legations that athletes were paid at the
academy or that so per cent Of the foot
ball teams were composed of men who
already had played three years at other
colleges.
The report said that of the foot ball
players since 1923 only 10 per cent had
played one year. per cent two years
and 6 per cent three years at other
schools before becoming cadets.
The controversy between the acad-
emieS on athletics Is largely because the
Army allows men who have played at
other colleges to play three years on
Army teams.
The breach between the service
schools had been discussed frequently
in Congress. Representative Fitzgerald,
Republican, Of Ohio defended the West
Point athletic system and introduced
the Drum report. Representative Blan-
ton; Democrat, Of Texas yesterday in
troduced a resolution to have the
schools resume sports competition at
once, with the Army adhering to pre-
vailing rules"
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York, who often has criticized the
Army system, said he favored the reso-
luton.

were, over his knuckles, whence the
name. 1t comes floating up to the
batter rotating little If at all, but
breaking strangely. If there is a
strong wind blowing from the oppo-
site direction the ball will dance
and duck and perform weird slants
that make the batter fairly SPELL
bound.
Conditions have to be favorable
for the ball to be used at its best.
A fairly stiff breeze is one potent
factor. Rommel uses the knuckle
ball In certain parks. Washington
is one of these.
However, you must practice a
great deal with this type of ball. 1t
Is not difficult delivery on the arm,
as many people believe, but needs
constant practice to control.
In order to develop this ball the
young pitcher should experiment
with it whenever he possibly can.
The young pitcher should always
remember to conceal with his glove
all types of slow balls so the batter
cannot anticipate what he is going
to throw.
Save the Big League Base Ball
Series; another will appear shortly.

Since the Understanding match,
reports that the Garden officials would

been causing Chicago promoters con-
siderable uneasiness and stirring up OPP
position against a near repetition Of
the Dempsey-Tunney spectacle at
Soldier Field three years ago.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

A BOUT the year 1918 AID, his
~ tory tells us that certain gen.
n tleman by the name of Juan
Ponce de Leon climbed into a
boat and came to America on a mission
that he was never to be successful in
fulfilling.
Ponce was getting well along in years,
it seems, and to his ears had come
stories of Fountain of Eternal Youth,
where all he had to do was to take a
bath and he would survive for quite
some time.
But somehow or other, the fountain
in question proved very elusive and as
a consequence, Mr.. de Leon died an old
man.
1t may be little late to offer sug-
gestion to Ponce, but from the way
some local gents seem to hang on, it
might be remarked that Ponce should
have taken up Sandlot base ball. On
the other hand, If there really is a
fountain of eternal youth, couple of
fellows from the Navy Yard seem to
have a strangle hold on it. They are
Lefty Kuhnert and Johnny Bleier.
Now this comparison is not to be
construed that Ponce de Kuhnert and
Ponce de Ble1er were IN the same boat
as the veteran explorer, but anyway it
is really remarkable how two such vet
Grams as these boys" can go out there
in the wilderness of the Ellipse and
show the younger generation just what
Is what in sandlot base ball. Both of
these men have been going for a long
time and from what they have shown
this season, they'll be going a lot longer.
Juan Bleier probably is the best out
fielder in the. Government League, but
that's not all-he's quite a f1rst-sacker,
too! But being a hearty indorser of the
mythical fountain, Bleier. yesterday, ex-
plored another region, usually inhabited
by younger race. Johnny donned the

THE number of games played,
l. their batting averages and
the number of runs each scored
are set forth in the table, in
addition to the runS-batted-in,
as each has a bearing in the
comparison.
The figures disclose that in
only one of the seven seasons

greater number of runs than
Goslin, but that he personally
toted over the platter a greater
number of TALES in three of
the years, although his average
of runs scored, 80, is consider
ably below that of the Goose.
OF course, the fact that Cos
lin played a total of lit more
games than Manush through
the period gave the Goose more
opportunities to accomplish
things, looking at it from that
angle, but it also might be con-
Strued to indicate GoSlin is the
more durable of the pair.
