Berg, you see, has degrees from
three universities and speaks sew
en- languages. He can cuss or joke
or praise in SO many different
tongues that he has quite an adj
vantage over his mates.
Casey Stengel keeps up the spir-
its of his rockies by his jokes
However, the Boston Bees man
ager has tanned considerably, and
substitutes funny stories for the
practical jokes of other seasons.
Hassett Under Suspicion
Buddy Hassett is the life OF the
Brooklyn Dodger camp Buddy has
been suspected of putting sand
spurs under the bed sheets of team
mates
The top clowns of the Grapefruit
league, of course, are Nick Altrock
and AL Schacht. Altrock, the Wash
ington coach, tells jokes in a gruft
voice, and looks funny without try
ing to with his cap askew over his
ruffled grey hair and fat rolling
smoothly over his barrel-like mid
riff. Schacht, former Boston Req
Sox coach, is strictly a profession
al clown now. He breezes from one
training camp to another, enter
tanning the fans with his antics
before the exhibition games. His
phantom pitcher act is a pip but
he keeps the fans in stitches with
everything he does.
Too many clowns are burden,
but every manager likes to have
one or two around. They keep the
players in good spirits. There's q
lot of truth in the remark of one
pilot that you can't win PEN

CLOWN PRINCES
STILL FLOURISH
ON BALL TEAMS
Managers Agree You Can t
Win a Pennant With
out a lester

NEW YORK, April 10. They've
taken the horseplay out of baseball's
spring training but the camp jes-
tcrs can't be squelched.
Years ago practical jokers
flourished their trade, sent rock
les on snjpe hunts, arranged dates
for them and then howled hilari-
ously at their supposed plight
when the crate husbands" ar
rived, and, in general, made life
miserable for the recruits.
Even the veterans once were
afraid to open their bedroom doors
for fear that buckets of water
might topple on their heads from
the transoms.
But players nowadays rarely steal
down the fire escapes from their
rooms for nights escapade.
Baseball has tanned down, but
the jokers still have their fun.
Lefty Gomez, as serious as a
scholar when he's out there pitch
ing, has few peers as a wisecrack-
en- The Yankees always have
something to tell about Lefty.
They're always razzing him about
his law suits and domestic diff
culties, but Ell Goofy takes it in
stride and hands back more than
he receives
Pcssum and Bat Boy
One player scared the daylights
out of his teams bat boy by plac-
ing live opossum in wash bowl
The kid switched on the lights,
saw this animal gazing at him and
tried to jump through the transom
of his door. He got stuck and had
to be pulled out
Pepper Martin and Frenchy Bor-
dagaray make life troublesome in
the ST. Louis Cardinal dressing
room by hiding the trousers of
their teammates, placing sand in
their street shoes and placing Itch
ing powders in their socks.
Moe Berg, the educated catcher
of the Boston Red Sox, probably
is the best wit of the bunch, but
Berg's jokes often are over he
head of the average ball player.

SAN FRANCISCO, June II
G.N.SO-A solution of the mys-
terry of why infantile paralysis and
some other nasal infections break
out in summer, rather than IN
winter, was announced here by
DR.. Charles Armstrong OF Wash
ington, D. c., before the American
Medical Associations Section on
Preventive Medicine.
Experiments rIade on mice, &C
cprding to DR.. Armstrong, showed
tnat the nose is more irritated IN
winter than in summer. 1t is this
irritation, caused by the presence
OF ordinary germs that inhabit the
nasal passages. that keeps down
lnfantile paralysis.
The tests were made with the
virus of St. Louis sleeping sickness.
The general picture of this dis
ease is markedly similar to that
of infantile paralysis. Both cpl
denies are spread by special vir-
uses, Sub-microscopic infectious
particles, that travel into the
brain by way of the olfactory
nerve fibers in the nose.
