you have in simply keeping the
ball in play. It will be worth
your while to make a thorough
study of this phase Of the
game.
The second fundamental Of
pace occurs in the actual L'hysi-
cal playing of the ball.
There are sufficient PAGES to
various shots. One ball may be
hit with speed alone; the next,
behind which you put the
weight of the body, will have a
punch" or "kick" when it
bounces; and still another will
be o slow ball. or one with a
cut on it. When you mix these
various things up you are bound
to throw the opponent off his
hitting stride. and that is cx-
actly the object of change Of
pace. For example. consider the
case of your opponent as he re-
ceives the various changes Of
pace.
He receives, say. two hard-hit
drives which have punch to
them as they come off the
ground.
The next is received with that
in mind, and if he is to hit at
a ball with no jump to it, he is
liable to misjudge and overhit.
The other phase of pace has
to do with movement 0f the
game itself. No game goes tear
ing along at the same clip
from start to finish. Learn to
observe all through your play
Just how fast or slow the pace
is, and guide your play accord
ingly.

Mrs. Bonos, who lives at 1891
Montague st. N. w., was once a
stellar school girl athlete on Long
Island, where she was born.
Her greatest achievement was
a broad jump of 18 feet 1lM
inches when she was only 13
years of age. This is three
inches further than the mark
chalked up by Mis- Didrikson in
winning the broad jump in the

tests recently.
Women Athletes Ignored
Her feat, while achieved in
practice. was made in 1917, when
women athletes were scarce and
little attention was given to them
or their performances.
Lack of wide interest in
women athletes caused her to
abandon jumping shortly after
she made her prOdigiOuS leap,
and until a few days ago, when
she saw the picture of Miss
DidrikSOn in The Times, had no
thought of trying again.
She has been married six years
and has two children, a boy and
a girl, the girl only two months
old. However, the picture of the
Lone Star lass stirred up old am
bitions in her. With the Olympics
at Los Angeles less than a year
away, and still a young woman
in perfect physical condition, she

MEXICO PLANNING
SILVER STANDARD
Gold Coin to Be Reduced to
Merchandise Status to
Boost Peso.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, July 25.-It is learned
from a reliable source that steps taken
by bankers meeting at the treasury
department today to settle the exchange
problem include the abolition of the
double standard of currency. This
would leave silver the only legal tender
in Mexico, and reduce gold coin to the
status of merchandise No official state
ment has been made. however.
Under the arrangement as unofhcially
reported all bills now contracted in gold
will be payable in silver. peso for peso,
and the banks will be obliged to pay in
gold only 80 per cent Of deposits in that
coin, paying the rest in silver.
The Bank of Mexico. it was said,
would retire as a competitive bank and
become a federal reserve with the CO.
operation Of all other banks in business
in Mexico.
Committee Appointed.
A committee consisting on one repre-
sentative of the government, one from
the Bank of Mexico and one each from
five leading banks has been named. 1t
was said, as a supervising committee to
keep a check on the reserves on hand
in the Bank of Mexico.
The reserve in the Bank of Mexico, 1t
was asserted, will be in gold and silver
bars and large issue of silver notes Is
likely to be made later, although not
Immediately.
1t is learned that the plan was ap-
proved by both houses Of Congress
today and was made known to the
bankers at a meeting at the treasury
department this afternoon.
The plan will be published in the Of
fetal gazette Monday as a law, it was
said, and will go into effect Immediately.
The plan for curing the monetary ills
of Mexico followed close on the heels
of the appointment of Plutarco Elias
Gales as president of the Bank of Mex
leo. Gales, who is known as a man of
action, was called to the position when
the silver peso was rapidly sinking and
an alarm spread through business
circles. He assumed the post yesterday.
Free Gold Movement.
While the plan was expected imme-
diately to remedy the falling exchange
of silver against gold. the improvement
in exchange of silver against dollars, it
was thought, would probably be slow
er process.
The plan also includes a declaration
for the free import and export of minted
or bar gold. Minting gold money is
strictly prohibited as is minting silver
pieces Of one peso denomination. Silver
two-peso pieces are withdrawn from
circulation and holders given six months
to exchange them.
The plan, it was said, was included
in a report of banking and monetary
laws, approved by Congress today. These
reforms give the Bank of Mexico power
to issue paper and silver currency up to
double the amount OF the reserve on
hand, whereas up to now 1t was re-
CURED that the banks have a reserve
equal to the full amount of the bills
issued.
AS a federal reserve institution the
bank has full rediscount powers to
which other banks have agreed.
