The Spiders got off to a fly

TAYLOR LAUDS
BOZ|E BERGER

Fundamentals, with a capital
F., rule the roost in basketball, if
you would ask "Chuck" Taylor
about it. The famed demonStra-
tor, who once played with the
New York Celtics, says the same
thing about any and every other
sport.
Anyway, Taylor offered an in
teresting exhibition and demon
stration of basketball and how
it should be played properly
while addressing an audience of
about 200 at the Catholic Uni
versity gymnasium last night.
With members of the Catholic
University five aiding, Taylor
demonstrated the best manner to
dribble, the right and wrong way
to pass the ball and the real idea
of defense.
Taylor, during the demonstrs-
tions. said that Purdue, Pitts
burgh and Notre Dame played the
best modern basketball. Hitting
the local bell, he said Bozie Berger
was the best basketball player de-
Veloped anywhere in the last two
decades.

STAR
PLAYS SOCCER
HERE SOON

The leading scorer of the Mary
land Soccer League, John Brock
lander, will invade Benning Field
Sunday at 2::30 p. m. when his
team, the Colonials, tackles the
Germail-American Club in the
quarter final of the Maryland
and Southeastern Soccer Associa-
ton division of the National ANA
teur Cup competition.
Brocklander is leading his loop
with 26 goals and one of the main
reasons his club is leading the
Maryland Soccer League.
Credits Mates
Brocklander does not take credit
for the showing but really gives
credit where it is due. He attri-
butes his success to the fact that
both of his wingmen are fast and
good paSsers and keep feeding
him the ball and therefore he
has more shots for the goal than
any other center forward.
John Bell, outside right, and
Thomas Johnston, outside left, are
the two men he gives the credit
for his being able to be the lead
ing scorer of his league.
Hard to Crack
Brocklander, not being Of a
boastful nature, stated that he
heard the Teuton defense was
hard to crack, but with the able
assistance of both Bell and John
ston he hoped to lead his team
to victory and to be the first anna
teur team to defeat the local lads
this season and to go further and
win the United States title and,
as he so states, that if his team
defeats the local lads he can see
no reason why the Colonials can
not win that crown unless they
become oVerconfident,

why, Ruth hit them farther
than ever before" said Connie
to interviewers as he landed in
Vancouver.
Well, sir, Ruth has hit many a
terrific smash in his life. There
was that famous wallop in Tampa
which drew the attention of the
baseball world to him back in the
spring of 1919. And there were
half a dozen wallops in ASheville
and other places.
Ruth Not the Hero
But, brothers, do you know who
it was who hit the longest drive
this agent ever saw?
Well end the suspense right
now. It was not Ruth, not Joe
Jackson nor any of the sluggerS
whose names might pop right into
your mind. 1t was, to come to
the point very briefly, native Of
Washington, Bill Lamar.
Bills great wallop went, roll and
carry, approximately one-quarter
of a mile. Ruth's historic smash
at Tampa, roll and carry, was 519
feet and some inches. The sur.
veyors established this distance.
There is no hearsay about La
mars great wallop for the reason
that your agent umpired the game
in which it was hit, and here is
the story.
Lamar was with the Yankees in
1917, and while the Officers Train
ing Camp at Plattsburgh. N. "
was in session, Col. Til Huston
brought the Yankees to play a
game for the entertainment of the
boys. The writer's regiment, the
One Hundred Fourth Field Ar
tillery, was camped about a mile
south of the training school.
Game Not Legalized
It was a Sunday, and baseball
on the Sabbath had not yet been
legalized in New York city. Wild
Bill Donovan, then manager OF the
Yankees, suggested that the writer
be drafted to umpire. Colonel
Huston, Colonel Rupert, Colonel
Bozeman Bulger and a number OF
officers motored down to the ar
tillery post to make the request.
When they arrived in the 1O4th'S
camp your agent was decked out
in overalls and was walloping the
dinner pots-shot for kitchen po'
lice on this day of days. After q
brief delay for changing clothes
we went up, and the game started.
Along about the fifth inning La
mar cut into fast ball and tha
ball rode far over the head of Rab"
bit Gilhooley, who was playing
right field for one Of the YanS
squads. It hit the parade grounds,
packed down by marching feet un-
til they we're as hard as concrete.
Bouncing and rolling, the ball
finally hit the steps of a dwelling
in Officers Row, clear across the
compound. Gilhooley ran and ran.
but finally threw his glove up in
the air and sat down. Lamar
walked around the circuit.
