Beccali Completes Field.

WITH the late entry of Luigi Bee
cali, Italy's middle distance great
and 1882 Olympic winner, the three
nation field has been completed. It
includes the athletes who ran 2-3-4
to Lovelock's Olympic win in the met
ric mile" In Cunningham, Beccali
and Archie San Romani Rounding
out the quintet are Miklos Szabo of
Hungary and Cunningham's perennial
archrival, Gene Venzke, who has
been chasing the burly Kansan all
season.
The possibility for fireworks in the
mile has taken a lot of the spotlight
away from the 2-nile array, despite a
stronger field than that which forced
Don Lash to a world record 8:58 in the
Boston A. A. games last Saturday.
The return of Lash's Indian rival,
Tommy Deckard, who beat him earlier
in the season, as well as the Rideout
twins from Texas, the veteran Joe Nc
Cluskey, Ray Sears of Butler and
Norman Bright of San Francisco make
for another fast time.

When Harris took over the reins Of
the Nationals a rebuilding progam
was under way. Youngsters replaced
veterans as Bucky and Clark Griffith
looked to the future.
Maybe they feel this is their year
but it is to be doubted. Another
first-division club probably will satisfy
them.
Club to Be More Pliable.
T>HE squad of 80 players which
Harris will lead South will aver
age 261a years of age. If anything,
it will be more pliable than 1855
club. With the trading Of 37-year-old
Whitehill for young Salveson, who is
%, Harris and Griffith gambled much
as they did year ago, when Bump
Hadley was dispatched to New YoBK
for Jimmy De Shong.
De Shong justified that gam
bic by winning Is games as q
major league starter for the
first tine.
He topped the entire Washington
staff in games won.
This Spring it will be up to Sal
veson to duplicate De Shong's stunt.
The Giants, White Sox and Pirates
gave Salveson little chance in the
past. In 1896, however, he won %
games for Los Angeles and the Wash
ington major domos think he can
do reasonably well in the big show.
Buddy Lewis, at 10, was given the
third base job last year and he came
through nobly. This season he
should settle into a groove and achieve
more greatness.
Cecil Travis, who was yanked from
shortstop after a slow start, will be
handed the job for keeps in Orlando
and the gestures possibly will help
Cecil to acquire the necessary con-
fidence.
Nobody, and certainly not Travis,
could overlook the vote of confidence
that was given him last month when
Washington traded Red Kress and
thus left only Ossie Bluege to fill IN
at short in the event something
happened to Travis.

Jerry was a little four-year-olt
boy who played frequently with ;
friend who had not formed the bab'
it of saying please" Consequently
Jerry soon began demanding, Give
me a drink" or Il want an apple
His mother was puzzled for a while
as to what to do about it.
Parents are often confronted with
such problems. A little child is very
quick to initiate the ways of those
around him. He is not very discrimi-
mating with regard to the kind of be-
havior he copies-at least from his
mothers point of view-and often
picks up undesirable habits as well
as good ones.
1t may be the behavior and speech
of playmates that are Objectionable.
Frequently, individuals who come to
the home to render services of one
kind or another furnish the wrong
example. Sometimes there are MEM
bers of ones own family whose be-
havior one does not wish child to
initiate, vet there often seems to he
no way to prevent him from being
stimulated to do so. What can mo-
ther do under such circumstances?
Jerry's mother tried several
things. First. she explained to the
child what she would like him TO
say and why. She insisted. in a quiet,
matter-of-fact way, that he ask cor
rectly before she granted his re-
quest, but, although he seemed glad
10 respond when she reminded him,
he forgot soon. and the habit per-
sisted. Finally she tried telling him
a story.
IL was true story that her hus-
band had told her about boy who'll
he had known in large camp. 1his
boy had the same bad habit that Jer-
ry had of forgetting to say please.
He overcame it, though. The incl
dents that made up his experience,
and his final success when he had
no further trouble remembering, IN
tefested Jerry.
II can remember, tOO," was his
comment when his mother finished
the story, and the difficulty was
soon overcome.
A suitable picture can often ans
wer much the same purpose as

right at hand in a magazine or news
paper. Such an illustration, chowing

Irwin Finally Delivers.
BEFORE the 2l-0 conquest of the
~ Dodg ers-the first game. Incl
dentally in which George MarshalPs
prides and joys had held the opposi-
ton scoreless-it was no secret that
Irwin was the big disappointment Of
the season. Neither Coach Ray
Flaherty nor Owner Marshall would
say as much publicly. but they secret
ly admitted that Irwin had failed
to live up to the promise he gave in
his freshman year.
Yesterday, he couldn't be stopped.
Successful in ruse in the first quar-
ter when he attracted Dodger tacklers
at the goal line while Sammy Baugh
was carrying the ball over for the first
touchdown in another spot, the former
Colgate star did not have another ball
carrying chance until the third quar-
ter. But what he did in that Is min
utes of play was caution.
Carrying the oval nine times and
running back an intercepted pass for
IS yards, the rejuvenated sophomore
accounted for 108 yards in that one
period-mOre than half the total yard
age gained all day by his mates. On
his nine runs from scrimmage he aver
aged better than five yards a try,
slightly better than the figure with
which Cliff Battles has been leading
all the leagues ball carriers to date.
His longest run, to be sure, was only
10 yards, but being the type relied
upon solely for line bucking, that was
plenty. Twice during the first three
times he carried the ha II he Oickad ,u,
first downs and he plunged over from
the 1-yard stripe for the second touch
down. That his attempted lateral
when tackled after his long run on
Brooklyn's 10 was fizzle was forgiven
because of the chance it gave king
Kong" Kahn, guard, to scoop it up
and run for the final touchdown of the
day.

scoring outfit since Hank Hardwick
played on the 1926 eleven. The week
before Georgetown had held Penn to
a scoreless tie, and early in the season
Maryland lost by only 1921 to the
Quakers. Meanwhile. bouncing back
after their finest showing of the sea
son, Georgetown blew 1870 lead and
was beaten by Manhattan, 20-l2.
Mr.. Rod Thomas, who experts fol
this sheet. is not pessimistic over the
Georgetown defeat. Il don't claim To
know exactly what happened Satur-
day." mcdestly admits Mr.. Thomas,
but I-recall that some seasons ago,
in Tom Mills time at the Hilltop
the Chick Mechanics of N. Y. u
licked the Georgetowns and they
weren't any good for the rest of the
season. 1 hope history doesn't repeat
in the case of Meehan's Manhattans

if Jack Hagerty could yank the

anything in building morale"

Maryland had tough time beating
Western Maryland, 60. and Holy

murder the Westminster forces. Fig
