By EARLE MEADOWS
MY INITIAL take-off into the
Iva realm of sports writing should,
of course, concern the possibili-
ties of 15-foot vault. I think it is
coming, and it's not SO very far in
the future, either. But the athlete
who makes it-and there are many
who have the potentiality-will need
a good imagination and just bit of
"what it takes" to make that height.
assume that the rabid track
crowd is familiar with the forecast
of George Varoff, the world cham
pion, who has predicted l5-foot
leap within the next few years.
That prophecy certainly is worthy
of notice. But, even though George
is one Of my best friends, and even
friends must disagree sometimes, I
can hardly fall into line with his
theory the vault will come as a
result of combining two qualities,
namely, his own push and the pow
erful pull of slim Sueo Ohe.
My contention is that it will not
come by combining these two
phases, for the simple reason that
one asset would Offset the other. 1t
is quite impossible to combine such
a marvellous pull as his with potent
push that the Oriental possesses.
The combination would ruin timing
i'm the air. My cred0 is that the
vault will result from the addition
Of new technique entirely from
the standpoint of the actual mechan-
ism.
After all. every vaulter will agree
that working for form, rather

/ can't express how felt because
it was such an unusual feeling to
be so happy. And then the
let down, when they told me it was
One-quarter of an inch short.
And all because of inaccurate
measuring instruments. I admit
that I didn't want the officials to
check with a steel tape before my
attempt that night, because they
would have been standing there CAB
bling yet, probably, figuring out the
ways and means, talking this over

Finally, the old cane broke, and

wishing TO make Cne paCrOnS Oh
burlesque houses feel at home,
Arthur Fielder, conductor Of the
POPS" had an inclined runway
placed down the middle aisle. But
instead of girls more or less clad,
he had ski jumpers slide down
the incline.
The report did not state
whether the conductor arranged
to have the drummer give a long
roll while the sliding was in
progress in the manner that Merle
Evans features various acts with
his Ringing Brothers Circus
Band.
Two yodelers furnished addi-
tional atmosphere peculiarly Ty-
rolean. The auditorium was
packed with an audience that
greeted these innovations with
screams Of delight and howls Of
laughter. Mr.. Fielder is showing
quite some ingenuity in bringing
about music appreciation for. the
masses.
Now if music teachers and the
countless authors Of music appre-
citation books could manage some
how to connect up circus per-
formances with the learning and
understanding Of music, there
would be little to worry about for
the future of music.

JUDGE COULDN'T
 ADVISE STOLFI

Joseph Stolfi found Judge Miles P. McNiff an unwilling counsel in the court of common pleas today, when he sought legal advice in his action which was being heard by Judge McNiff, on the bench.
 A judgment by default has been awarded Alfred Modem in his suit against Stolfi, and the motion be- fore Judge McNiff today was the establishment of the amount of dam ages to be awarded. Modem is the man who was hit over the head by Stolfi, with 8 pickax handle, a few months ago on Bishop street. Judge McNiff reserved decision.
 Attorney A. D. Dawson appeared for Modeen and Stolfi appeared for himself. At the conclusion Stolfi became confused on certain points of law and decided that Judge Me- Mfr was the man to give him the angles of law on which to present his case. Judge McNiff, who must decide the issue, told Stolfi that he could only answer ives" or mo" to his questions.
