 HURLING BETTER
By JACK .CUDDY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Pitching has improved greatly in the National league this year. with all hurlers trying to boost their clubs along in the nip-and-tuck pennant race.
 Even the umpires, no great friends of the ringers. declared at a recent meeting that the pitching in John Heydler's circuit was bet ter than at any time during the past half dozen years.
 Many youngsters have cropped up and are doing excellent mound work and several veterans are staging c0mebacks. Some of the young chaps who. are pitching good ball are Lonnie, Warneke of the Chicago Cubs. Leon Chagnop and Swift of the Pittsburg Pirates. Bob Brown of Boston, and, Van Mungo of Brooklyn.
 Steve Swetonic of the Pirates. one of the outstanding hurlers in the league, is a veteran who staged a remarkable comeback. Barney Dreyfuss had him on the auction block last winter. but no club wanted Steve at the price Barney was asking. So Swetonic remained with Corsaif's and made good under Manager Gcorge Gibson.
 Huck Bctfs Staged COnaeback.
 Huck Belts of the Boston also came back from obscurity. Several clubs refused to take him from St Paul in the winter because their scouts reported his arm was dead. Boston grabbed him up on s4.o0O gamble seand Huck has been doing right well for the Braves.
 Red Lucas iB having good year with the Cincinnati Reds, and Fltnf Ilhem is doing nobly with the .PhiIiies. Hollis Thurhton 10 pitch- ing good ball for Brooklyn, and Carl HubbelI Is doing Q fine job for the New York Giants.
 Virtually aii National buriers are concentrating on curved balls, far dIfkeFant from the American league where the fast ball reieDs supreme The raised seams on the National league ball give curved ball plteb' CTS eD advantage. fr .4ll f

CHICAGO PLANS NOVEL NIGHT MEET
 FOR TRACK STARS
< By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stan Correspondent

NOntcu ITcSS otdH SOTEcSI>OhUcHtI
 Fpfiowing the completion of the x Olympiad at Los Angeles, the Olympic track and field champions of ail. nations will engage in an international night meet at Soldiers Field, Aug. IS.
 Avery Brundage, president of the A. A. U. has been working on de- tails of the meet for more than wear. and it was the knowledge of the possibilities of the Chicago meet that enabled many of the European nations to send full teams. Sixty per cent of the gross receipts will be divided among the foreign competitors.
 The first night track meet ever held, in Chicago was an interna- tional meet between the United States and the British Empire in Soldiers Field, Aug. 27, 1880. More than 40,0 900 persons paid $25,OOO 10 see the United States win nine first to the invaders five.
 The success of the U. s. British meet has led A. A. U. officials to believe that they can attract crowd of nearly 100000 to see meet in which virtually all the Olympic champions will compete. Without the slow process of the eliminations, the meet should be more attractive than the Olympics. fin which a steady succession ot trials tends to wear down all com petitors until they are not at their peak for the finals.
 More than 20 nations. including England. Finland. Germany. Ire- Ihnd,, Canada. Sweden. Ita y France. Poland. Japan. already have osignified their intention Of sending full teams 10 the meet.
 Among the foreign stars entered are Matti Jarvinen Finland. worlds record holder in the javolin; Eino Purje,. Finland, 1.b00 meter star; Toivo Loukola, Finland. steeple. chase champion; Emil HIrsehneid. oermany, holder of world shot put record; Arthur Jonath, uers many, star sprlnter; Dr. Otte 1seifzef, Germany, iesdlstance star; DF.

A number of beginners have the idea they must keep their left foot firmly on the ground in driv- ing. This Is wrong. Of course they can drive straight either way. but lot of power is lost by not lifting the left heel.
 It Is lost because they do not get the advantage of the turn In the body, The loss of power from the pivot leaves only the fore. arms wrist and shoulders to de. velop the power.
