Up Pops de Bruyn

It may be a good idea, in the course of pre-Olympic calculations, to keep an eye on a distance run ming prospect named Paul de Bruyn German youth residing in New York. He will compete for his fatherland at Los Angeles and he may be one of the principals for Paavo Nurmi to beat in the Olym- pic Marathon.
 Last summer de Bruyn went back home without any ballyhoo what ever and ran off with the German national marathon championship in good time. Since he returned the German has been knocking off course records and otherwise upu- setting the normal order of things over the metropolitan roads.
 Lately de Bruyn set a new national record of 1 hour, g min utes, 55 seconds, for 15 miles, beat ing the mark of 1:23:24 1-5 set by Charles Pores, old Millrose A. A. star, in 1919.

Foes of Basketball Stall
 to Demand Rules Committee
 Eliminate Menace to Game

Missourians idly toyed with the ball or passed 1t among themselves.
 Coach Edwards contends the odds were too great against his team so long as Kansas played only defensively.
 Coach Allen says his players sat down, adding travesty to the spec tacle, in order to test the rule and show what ludicrous performance was possible.
 Demands 40 Minutes Action
 c. L. Brewer, Missouri athletic director and 5th district chairman of the rules committee, believes something should be done to assure 40 minutes of activity in every bas- ketball game.
 Allen says he is certain the rules body will take up the stall at it's next session
 "The members of the National Basketball Coaches association en- phatically declared that stalling was a menace" Allen says. My impression is that the stall will kill interest in the game"

 The leader of the Bowman clan, Joe, is moving right into the pitch ing ranks of the Athletics this spring with every intention and prospect of making himself useful and at1flome.
 All Joe has done is to get himself in a spot where he has to break in on the twirling firm of Grove, Earnshaw and Walberg, with Ma haffey. Krause and a few others already seeking junior partnerships.

KANSAS CITY, March 8.-That popular American phrase = there outght to be alaw"-will be ap- piled to the so-called stall" when the National Basketball Rules com mittee gather at New York in mid-April.
 Opponents of "strategical passiv- ity" are determined to legislate the stall out of basketball on the ground that it is running the game from the spectators viewpoint.
 L'ocker-room dissertations for and against the stall abound on the Pa cific coast and in the midwest Both of these sections and others have been exposed to examples of the inactivity possible under the pres ent rules.
 Tigers Cite Rule
 The Universities of Kansas and Missouri played game recently in which Missouri controlled the ball l2 minutes without attempting to score In the far west, two teams defied each other longer than that and neither would knock off the chip" to precipitate action.
 George R. Edwards, Missouri coach, whose team uses "a delayed offense, cites the coaches asso- ciation's own interpretation to prove he was within the law when his cagers held the ball.
 Allen Orders Travesty
 The interpreuaJlon, drafted by Edwards and seconded on adoption by Coach F. c. "Phog@ Allen, Of Kansas, asserts "stalling is the re- fusal of the team which is behind in the score to play aggressive bas- ketball.' There is no penalty ex- cept jeers from the crowds at times
 The Missouri mentor holds that since his team led Kansas by two points the burden of aggressiveness fell upon the Jayhawker quintet which presented a 5-man phalanx about the Tiger basket and refused to go after the ball in the Kansas offensive territory.
 During the 12 minutes preceding the halftime intermission Kansas players reclined on the floor and

"CHAIN STORE". PROVING GREAT
 THING FOR B. B,
Cardinals Eliminate Expen- sive Talent by Farm
 System

ST. LOUIS, Mrach 8.-Several advantages are claimed for the chain store" system of ball clubs developed by the St. Louis Cardin- als.
 It enables the management to pick and train it's recruits. It as- sures a steady supply of young ma terial. It practically obviates the necessity of shopping" for stars
 And it keeps down the overhead the old payroll.
 Last season many baseball fans including not a few Cardinal rooters-were amazed by the deal which sent Taylor Douthit, the ball hawk, to Cincinnati. But Douthig commanding a fairly high salary had young understudy in center field-a product of the farm system who was coming right along, and who drew no such 'princely wage
 Understudy Martin
 That understudy was Pepper Martin, hero of the 1881 worlds series. His services for the seasor cost the Cardinals just 5000
 Burleigh Grimes, veteran spitbal artist, had worked himself up tc the point where he was getting around $20,00o a year. With three brilliant youngsters available ir Dizzy" Dean, Tex Carleton ana Ray Starr, that began to sound like a lot of money to the Redbiro front office.
 So big Burleigh was traded tc the Cubs for Hack Wilson, one time home run king, and the latter brought a reported $50,O0O from Brooklyn on the auction block.
 Is Business Proposition
 Running a ball club as the Car dinals are run is a business propo- sition. Business methods, business judgment and business foresight enter into it's success.
 Of necessity, a players ability remains the chief factor in decid- ing what shall be done with him or how he shall be handled. II would hardly be possible to build a club like the worlds champions on the any other basis.
 But ability is no tthe only cri- terion. It is considered in relation to it's cost, and in the light of eff cient substitute material = almost always ayailable-which may cost even less.

Managerial All-Stars

There is no demand for them to go into action again but the big league managers now going about their business briskly can look back on the boys when eff gathered to- gether) they might have presented a pretty fair all-Star lineup.
 Every position is represented ir the managerial roster this year, for the first time since we can recall as a result of a few shake-ups.
 There IS good balance on the list everywhere outside of the bat teries where Walter Johnson of the Senators would have to do all the pitching to an assortment of ex- backstops ranking from Connie Mack and Gabby Street to Dan Howley, Bill Killefer and George Gibson. The seniority rule would keep Mack on the bench and How ley probably would talk himself. out of the game in order to give the other boys chance.

Lord, what an experience! Well, he
knew, now, how the thing was done.
He looked at his watch and. found 1t
was six o'clock. He'd have to call it a
day. He could face Edith, now. at all
events. He telephoned the Office and
Mariner, who happened to be there,
told him she had gone home.
Mariner seemed to want him to
come back that evening. There was
quite bit Of MAIL, he said; and then
there was matter he wanted to talk
about. But Edward told him it would
have to wait. He didn't want to talk
to Mariner tonight. He didn't want
to talk to anybody. He telephoned the
house and told Julia he wouldn't be
home to dinner; perhaps not till late,
he didn't know. He didn't mean to
do anything but have quiet dinner
by himself somewhere-at the club,
perhaps-and think, get himself to-
gether, explore his discovery. He had
an idea that he might, perhaps, have
lifted the skyline Of a new world.
Edward thought he knew what 1t
was that Mariner wanted to talk about.
The inventor was inventing something
else. He'd begun throwing off mystic
rious hints about it weeks ago. At
first it was something he wasn't yet
ready to divulge, even in the broadest
way, the nature of, except that If 1t
turned out right it would be prodigi-
ous-the most revolutionary advance
in automobile engineering that had
come along as yet.
Edwards emotional response to this
sort Of thing had been an almost I'M
controllable Impotence with the man.
There had been time when Mariner
! had talked that way about the auto
choke. He was, Edward reflected, ex-
actly like cat with her kittens, turn
ing fiercely on the last lot as soon as
the new litter made its appearance.
So, finding Mariner in the Office
visibly waiting for him, when he ar
rived with Edith on the morning after
his selling adventure, he was prepared
to de battle against an open proposal
that they undertake the manufacture
of Mariners new device. He was go
ing to smash it fiat. Yesterdays ex-
perience had made new man of him.
'All right" Edward said, sitting
down and motioning Mariner to draw
up a chair. Lets have it out. What's
on your mind?"
Mariner surprised him. "I'ye been
thinking about this choke business, y
he said. II don't think we've got the
right policy. Whatever the thing
amounts to, It's a question Of selling
it, and that's what we aren't doing.

when he and Mariner had dined to-
gether for the first time at the club,
and he'd listened to those golden
prophecies and dreamed those roseate
dreams. Lord!
But the queer thing was that he was
glad he hadn't foreseen it; glad he
hadn't consulted Bert about it as he
had half meant to do that night. The
very blindness of his infatuation
struck him as a piece Of luck.
His daughters voice startled him.
"Gosh, hope he stays in California Y
she said. dad, what do you suppose
Baby's been up to out there, that he's
so excited about?" But she didn't
seem to expect him to answer that.
"What gets me-" she went on al
most at once, "is why he should care
what she does-as long as she doesn't
come back. She treats him like a
worm when she's here. He can't pos
sibly like her. Nobody could like a
person like that. What does he want
of herr"
She came over to him, pulled him
around in his swivel chair, sat down in
his lap and Rugged him.
II think you're perfectly great, dad"
she said. Then she laughed. II bet
you're glad mother isn't like that.
Come on, let's get to work."
"We're Just at the beginning" he
told her. Making our real start to-
day. That's the way I feel about it..
It's long road, my dear, but it leads
somewhere"

CHAPTER VI
The Sacrifice

That one thing. the length of the
road, was what Edith dared not let
herself think about. She didn't mind
any of the incidents Of the job, taken
by themselves as they came along. 1t
wasn't hard, not so hard, after the
first week, as school.
The eighteen dollars her father
handed her in a regular pay envelope
every Saturday afternoon infallibly
gave her thrill, though sometimes q
twinge, too, when she happened to
know that the bank balance was espe-
cially low. There was satisfactory
feeling about handing to her mother
every Saturday night seven dollars for
her board, and in having all through
the week, in the little black wrist-bag
she always carried with her, money
that was indisputably her own. If
ever she wanted to go on spree with
in it's modest limits she could.
The job didn't take on really night
mare aspect unless she looked ahead,
at vanishing perspective Of weeks
and months and probably years made
up Of days so exactly alike; the same
train every morning, the same dirty
walk to the Office, the same mail, the
same routine of telephone calls.
Conditions at the office had never,
even at the worst, been as bad since
Mr.. Mariner left. Nowadays, when
there was bad mail, or when some
body they owed money to called up
and acted disagreeable over the tele-
phone, dad would put choke in his
pocket and go out and make a sale.
"It's funny" she told him once, ''the
way you used to say you never could
sell things. You're perfect whiz at
it, dad"
"You know" he said reflectively, "if
weren't so densely and fundamental

trying to SELL Oh, of course know

peat orders show it,
1t was almost the most thrilling
thing in the world when dad talked to
her like that, telling her things as If
he didn't know he was doing it, things
she couldn't imagine him telling any
body else-except mother of course.
In a way, she was closer to him even
than mother, closer to him than any
one else in the world. He didn't have
to explain things to her or lead up
to them, because she was there on the
spot when they began.
She was there when Mr.. German
began.
Dad came in one afternoon, walked

Edward pricked up his ears. He
began to see what was coming. He
switched his mind off what Mariner
was saying and began to think. By
the time the inventor wound up
"That's how it looks to me-" he had
pretty well decided upon his line.
"That's not a bad idea," he said, "if
you can see any way to accomplish it.

now is to keep afioat. We couldn't

''How long," Edward asked thought
fully, do you figure the trip will
take?"

him. "Six weeks, perhaps"
Edward depressed an impulse to
smile. Had the man any idea how
transparent he was? you couldn't
