A ALAN 6ouD !

Discussing tnls very situation once upon a time, George Bernard Shaw remarked that youth is such a wonderful thing that it is a shame it has to be entrusted to children.
 You get complete realization of just what that means in sport when you think of Walter John GOT in his last years as a major league pitcher, getting by on nerve alone, the blazing whip gone from his fast one, his curve rounded out to a wrinkle.
 If there ever could be a case where all the wisdom that years of experience bring, all the sagac- ity and balance of the veteran, could be coupled from the start with the tireless brawn Of youth, sports history would know a last ing miracle man.
 But there seems to be allowed every great competitor just a brief, fleeting span, before the suppleneSs of youth has started to go, when maturity guides linn itless power to new heights.
 There was that time in Jack Dempsey's career when no man before or since could have stood before his fists, the Dempsey Of the Tom Gibbons, Georges Carpen- tier Louis Firpo era
 Tunney coupled power and ex- pei,ence for just three years, through the two Demsey battles to the greatest night of his career, tI,e night he crushed Tom Hee- hey.
 Bobby Jones in his last burst through the golfing world linked the two for one season. Bill Til- den had both for awhile. Babe Ruth has seen the great combin- ation.

NIGHT CONTESTS REQUIRE CHANGED
 PITCHING STYLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 24 The technique of pitching is diff ferent at nights than in daytime the performances of several Pacific Coast League twirlers indicate. Ted Pillette of the San Francisco Mis- sion changes his style most com pletely.
 Under the sun he depends large ly upon change of pace to con- fuse batSmen, but under electric lights he concentrates on speed and sharp breaking curves. Pil- lette says he can't get away with a change of pace pitching as the ball looms up at night and makes 1t easy for the fellow at bat. Dur ing daylight games he still makes the most of changing his speed.
 Other moundsmen have also said that nighttime games call for a faster ball, with speed the most effective weapon against the heavy hitters.

oUT-TALKING THEM

In his recent bout with Billy Townsend. rough, young and dan gerous, Benny stopped a vicious right to his chin He stopped dead in his tracks, pleased smile on his face
 Nice punch" te said.
 Then he marched into clinch, the birds singing merrily in his head and the youngster fighting desperately to get out of his clutches.
 Don't get over anxious" Ben ny schooled him, his head tucked safely over Townsend's shoulder. "As soon as we get out of this clirch you'll get chance to punch with that fine right hand of yours again. You'll have chances all night. So don't get excited"
 Benny fooled the youngster in ore particular.
 Townsend had chances to punch with his right all the rest of the night, but never another chance to land it.

ONLY YOUTH LACKING

Now comes Benny Leonard to make all this more evident by his comeback campaign. mesmerizing youth and power with little more than his agile brain and the ex- perience of many years.
 If Leonard could have again, jus. for one night, a goodly frac- ton of the youth he faces in his opponents, he would lick just about anything that could be mustered against him, regardless of weight or size.
 He has fought 20 times in his comeback campaign, and there have been times when he has been in

on land. The heart works harder to keep the blood circulating, the lungs open and close intermittent ly, not regularly, and it puts an added strain on the heart. The heat generated is obtained at a cost. If child Is not exercising. and gradually becomes warm" in the water, 1t is because surface tissues have, become chilled to the temperature of the water and are no longer sensitive to contrast.
 To have certain parts of the body at one temperature and oth- CTS at another is upsetting and weakening.
 That is why it is better to limit such bathing to a short time. On days when the water is warm a longer bath may be indulged in, but I should limit the time to an hour if a child is over eight. Younger children less.
 Where children pop in and out of a lake, running and playing in between times, with only short in- tervals in the water, have seen them spend whole days and weeks at 1t with impuntty. It Is the long continued bath that is unwise. At any sign of blue lips or chattering chin take them out at once.
 It is largely a question of good judgment on the mothers part. If she sees( a child continually tired, getting thin. or not eating, she should cut out the water alto- gether for a while and then per- init only short dips. If on the other hand the child is sturdy, healthy and brown she has little to worry about.
 As for the tiny tots. very little bathing of this sort is enough. Wading is all right. but not if the water is cold. Better to put on their beach suits and let them tod dle around in the sand.

A mother has asked me If too much water for children wasn't weakening. She meant splash ing and sitting in a bathtub for hours at time playing with boats or toys.
 I told her 1t was, generally speaking. But I had to qualify, as usual, because it all depends on the age of children, their general strength, the climate, and the sort of day it happens to be.
 It is not advisable to fill up a bathtub with water and let a little child fsit in it for a very long time. ever. Water, especially fresh water. is enervating, relaxing. It is often used as cure for nervous diseases in adults for this very reason.
 But. like everything else it is right when done by experts and not so good when handled by the uninitiated.
 Probably on hot day a half or three-quarters of an hour is not too long for a little child, but to continue 1t longer, particularly if 1t happens every day, may have undesirable results.
 Outdoor play in the water is a differnet thing, Here children are exercising, getting sun and fresh air and not constantly in the wa ter. I am referring to the garden sports, little tanks, showers, tubs, hose attachments or pools.
 As for bathing in creeks or ponds or fresh- water lakes. other things must be considered.
 Quite often the temperature of the water is away below that of the body. After a little the body becomes fused" to the change, particularly If child is swimming or trying to swim. a

The Bidding

 South has two biddable four card suits, while he also has a no trump distribution. A no trump is made. One diamond is the cor West passed and North bid one spade. This is a suit bid of one over partners suit bid of one, as you will notice. This requires partner to bid again although 1t does not demand that the bid- ding be kept open until game is arrived, at. Always remember that the one over one force diff fers from all other forcing bids in that 1t only places an obliga- tion on partner to bid once more.
 East passed and South now tried to plug up the holes for no trump and responded with two clubs. If his partner has the heart suit stopped. he will un- doubtedly go to no trump. But North is also weak in hearts so re-bfds the spades.
 . South then takes the contract to. four spades.
 Tine Play
 Against Mir Hall, who was sit- ting in the North position, East opened the king of hearts. West cried loud for the hearts to be continued by playing the ten spot. East.s next play was the jack of hearts-notice that he did not play the queen. If East were to lead the queen. he would now deny holding the jack.
 Remember, when holding the kine-queen-jaclx, you should open with the king and if it holds the trick. lead the jack next. West overlook with the ace Of hearts and returned the. five of hearts which East wen with the queen.
 East led through strength. play ing the deuce of clubs which North won with the ten. The deuce of trump was led to dum- my's king and the ten spot re- turned.

F1 r n West refused Ato trump discard ing a diamond, North trumped with the nine of spades, literally discarding his two trump.
 The seven of diamonds was won in dummy with the ace of dia- monds and now West holds noth- ing but the queen and eight of trump. North holds the ace and jack of trump, and dummy two diamonds. A diamond was led from dummy and West was forced to trump with the eight of spades which North overtrumped with the Jack and then led the ace of spades, picking up Vests queen. ..
 This play is known as the grand coup, and as MT Hall had to get rid of two. instead of one, trump, this play would be termed a double grand coup.
