 Schroeder explains his aptitude for the indoor game as due to the fact that he was in the army and during the winter months had plen- ty of time to practice and improve his game. The outdoor season in Sweden is quite short. Tennis can be played in comfort only from June until September. Schroeder's outdoor game, he feels, hardly measures up to his indoor perform ances.

Homesick Rookie Lost
Control; Got No Help

Then, little by little, he lost his con-
troll. Jack Dunn, the manager, fretted
about this change in form but could
not discover the reason for it. Neither
could the rest of US. We knew that
the pitcher was a "loner," one of those
lads who keep strictly to themselves,
but such types are not rare in the
minors.
So, when night after night we would
see him pick up magazine and head
for his room almost as soon as dinner
was over, we decided that he was prob
ably only country kid who was home
sick. Then we would start up our own
card games, or other nocturnal bust
ness, and forget about him.
Dunnie, though, couldn't forget about
him. This was challenge to the man
who was winning more remnants and
developing more big-time stars than
any other minor league contemporary.
He talked and talked to the pitcher.
Each time the pitcher listened intent
Iy, promised to do better.
Next day he would look as bad as
ever but when we watched him sweat
we all felt sorry for him. Veal knew
this lonesome youngster was not kid
ding when he told about how hard he
was trying to regain his control and
make good.
One night, when the training time
was almost ended, drove with Dunnie
out past the ball park. The moonlight
sent vague shadows through the low
hung boughs of the trees which sur
rounded the one-room county Jail a
hundred yards away from the park.
1t was dismal scene. Fifty seconds
later it became even more dismal-we
started ducking bullets.
1 don't like bullets but Dunnie was
irritated The Orioles were to play an
exhibition game the next day and he
didn't want anybody messing up his
ball park. We Investigated.
There on second base sat the county
jailer, what was left of a gallon of
corn whisky, and the ailing pitcher.
The poor homesiek boy had told US
the truth. He had been trying hard.
Each night, after he had taken his
magazine and wandered Ionesomely up
stairs, he had sneaked out the back
door. Then, for hours after that he
would sit out there on second base with
the jaier and the gun and the corn
and practice control by shooting at the
home plate.

Academic Ability First,
Then Athletic Prowess

In the Southeastern Conference this
will not happen. A mans athletic quail
ifieations will be judged only after he
has proved to the faculty that he is
a worthwhile prospect as student and
worthy of help.
Finally, there will be established
through these athletic scholarships a
means of admitting boy who hasn't
the means at his own command to at
tend the college he really wants to at
tend. All of us in our lives have known
boys who went to one school when they
really wanted to go to another. They
went only because the undesirable col
lege offered better opportunities for
aid of athletes than the one which
they wanted to attend.

OUTLAWS Alligator
Got in Wrong Berth

Also l would like to know IL train
rides are as exciting now as they were
years ago when the Giants left their
st. Augustine camp with Zeke Barnes
and his alligator.
Zeke took lot of pride in this pet
inches long and was not much for
looks even for an alligator. He planned
to give it a nice home out in Kansas
after the season was over, and he
probably would have done it, too. That
is he would have If Hughie McQuillan
had not also been a Giant.
Hughie had invested in the Florida
staple, too, and alligator prOpriet9rs
are just like horse owners. Whenever
two of them get together there must
be competition. So, since beauty con-
tests and marathon dances were out
of the question, they decided upon a
race.
It was a prospect that stirred the
speculatively inclined. Hot news from
the paddock Indicated that Zeke's alli-

Bets were down and pulse-strum-
ming contest was in sight when the
younger Barnes became worried. To
convince himself that everything was
all right he decided upon an early
morning workout in the aisle of the
Pullman which was speeding through
the cold, gray mountains of western
Georgia.
Three minutes later the air was agi-
tated by one of the most magnificent
renditions Of free and fancy comment
that It has ever been the good fortune
of any ball tlayer to hear. The alli-
gator had broken loose and had not
shown much sense even for an ALI
