Pollen Carried Seward
By Strong Air Currents

Pollen knows no 12-mile limit, ac-
cording to a survey recently COM
pleted in the air above the Atlantic
ocean. Traces Of pollen were found
275 miles at sea.
The tests showed no pollen above
5000 feet over land or water. The
survey was made by o. c. Durham,
chief botanist of the Abbott labora-
tories in North Chicago, in co-opera-
ton with the Pan-American anyways.
Forty-seven slides were exposed on
a specially designed "slyhook" ON
a 7,000-mile round trip made by
the Yankee Clipper.
The slides were exposed every 30
to go minutes by j. w. Etchison,
engineer of the Clipper, and then
carefully packed in containers and
returned to Durham. Durham said
certain wind conditions might carry
ragweed and smut spores as far as
1000 miles from shore, although
none was found at that distance IN
the survey.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1940-05-10

The same is true Of Bob Teller.
The 21-year-old Van Meter sensa-
ton Is only getting under way. With
only q fair share Of luck Teller has
at least Is big years left-years dur
ing which he might easily turn out
to be the same thing to baseball
that Bobby Jones was to golf.
In many other ways the two are
alike-both were and are highly
popular with their fellow players
and their opponents. Both have
always belonged to the upper
branches of sportsmanship.
A Close-Up on Teller
Ihad breakfast with Bobby Teller
in Tampa the morning of the all
star game for the Finnish fund. He
was as unspoiled as any prominent
athlete have ever known.

For example, as Joe Cr0nin, boss
of the Boston Red S0x, came into
the dining room he came well out

putter, a golfer, tennis player and
a basketball luninary- extremely
good at each Of these games.
He had well-developed but conflict
ing muscles to handle, and these in
time left him muscle-bound.
There can be too much muscle
for any smooth, flowing action. #
Rowe had concentrated on baseball
alone in his younger days he might
have been one of the greats Of all
time.
As 1t was the Tiger giant was a
brilliant performer for a year or
two until too many of his muscular
habitats in the back and shoulders
began to tie him up.
Bob Teller, spoiled, fresh or swell
headed, might have been almost as
great a pitcher as he is. But he
would have missed by many meters
the height he holds today in public
favor. Especially in the favor of
his mates and his opponents.
If the kids of this country care to
pick out someone to follow in every
respect, they could make no mis-
take in following the methods and
manners of this Iowa farm boy,
who, am quite sure, will remain
unspoiled to the last ball he throws.
Lasting Qualities
Bobby Jones was star competi-
tor and player from the age of 10
to %. He had known Is years of
tournament action when he retired
at his peak, or just as he was COM
ing to his peak.
Bobby Jones could have remained
