LUzERNE ATWELL BLUE, the able first baseman of the St. Louis Browns who is built like Red Grange and as dynamic on the diamond as the redhead was on the gridiron sat in on a discussion of fast balls in the lobby Of the Mon terey Hotel, West Palm Beach.
 Lefty Grove unquestionably has the fastest ball of any pitcher in the American League" said Lu, who can speak with authority after ten years of facing the best box men in the curcuit.
 "Walberg is fast and so is Earn shaw, among the right-handers, but neither has quite the zip that Grove can put on the ball. The ace of the As, in addition, has great control for southpaw. Wal berg has better curve that Grove"
 The subject turned to Walter Johnson, who probably had the fastest ball of them all.
 T batted against Johnson eight or nine years ago when I believe he still was faster than anyone in the league and faster even than Grove is now" declared Blue. But Cobb, Speaker and the fellows who had known him in his prime, told me | should have seen Johnson when he was good If they were right, I'm glad I didn't have that to worry about. He was too good for me when they said he was about through"
 Winter sports, where winter has been successful, have had their fling and so far as the Northeastern sector is concerned, the University of New Hampshire still rules the roost as intercollegiate champion. The boys of this rugged New Sng- land school skated and skied off with three of the four big meets, held at Dartmouth, Murray Bay and on their own snowclad ground. Dartmouth captured the first hon. ors on Lake Placid.
 Notre Dame had it's Four Horse men" but New Hampshire skated into the picture this winter with it's -Four Icemen," who cleaned up in a very big way. At the Dart mouth and New Hampshire winter carnivals, the two Mailman broth ers-Harry and Eugene-of Wor- cester, along with Arthur Burns of Manchester and Malcolm Chase of Dover, N. H., finished army-in- army for first place in the quarter mile as well as two-mile races.
 The University of Washington not only turns more oarsmen with coaching talent than any other university supporting rowing but most of the racing shells come from the shop and expert hand of George Pocock at Seattle. Georges spirit and applause goes with the Huskies in any race. East or West, but he is impartial as a craftsman
 Pocock has just finished nine shells for the eight cared competi- tion, six of which-built for Cor nell, California, Wisconsin, Navy, Syracuse and Washington-will be assembled again for the Pough- keepsie regatta in June on the Hud- son river. Harvard and Princeton also have bought new shells from the Pocock shop this year, while he is shipping one as far away as Cuba where rowing is one of the most popular of sports.

Mr.. Pointing states, the ship encountered
no more pack ice during her voyage to
New Zealand, nor was any new ice seen
in the Ross Sea.
AT this season of the year the old
pack drifts northward becomes dis
integrated and finally is destroyed by
the erosive action Of the ocean cur
rents" he writes.
There is, therefore, every reason to
hope that things will pursue their
natural course and that the belt of pack
ice which is reported to be obstructing
the passage of the bark City of New
York will break up.
Admiral Byrd himself believes that
the chances are hundred to one
against his ships being unable to force
a passage, even though the ice condi-
lions are unusually severe. Every one
