pitch him into the water.
Just when the sport began Is
unknown.
In the early days. when pioneers
pushed back forest frontiers, color
fully-clad lumberjacks learned to
ride unruly torrents of logs in
spring drives down rivers to the
sawmills.
Dressed In heavy flannels and
bright mackinaws, their feet en-
cased in high-topped calked boots,
they would leap, peavies in hand,
from log to log. pushing, pulling
and prying to keep the timbers
from forming jams.
Piled Dangerous Task.
Men were manned and lives were
lost when the logs jammed. piling
up millions of feet of timber and
damming angry waters.
1t was the rivermen's dangerous
task to locate and loosen key logs.
Jumping from one log to another,
they would dislodge a log here,
another there, until finally locat-
ing the key log. they would jerk
and pull with their peavies until
it was loosened.
Then would follow a wild scramble
to safety as tons Of water forded
the logs downstream into a grind
ing. crashing tumult.
When lumberjacks finished their
days work. they staged impromptu
log-rolling contests.
In 1898. at the lumbermen's ex-
position in Omaha, Nebr, the first
worlds Trolling championship
was staged. Tom Fleming, Eau
Claire, Wis, river driver. whirled
and cuffed a spinning log to vic
tory over Al Stewart, a fellow
townsman.
Tournaments were held in Ash
land, Wis. in 1900-0l-02 but there
after log rolling went into one Of
its periodic declines. In 1914 the
late William Hart, Eau Claire
sportsman. promoted world
championship contest on Half Moon
Lake near Eau Claire.
War Brings Discontinuance.
William Delyea OF Cloquet, Mimi,
and later of Occur DAlene, Idaho,
won the title. The next year the
crown fell to Eddie Oleson OF
Marinette. Wis.
World War I caused another dis
continuance OF the sport. When it
was resumed in 1924 at Eau Claire,

repeated in 1925.
The next year diminutive Billy
Gerard of Gladstone was crowned
champion at Washburn, Wis. and
in 1927, Wilbur Marx, Eau Claire
schoolboy, won.
Unlike almost all other log rollers,
Marx never had been lumberjack
and never had seen a river drive
He was only IA when he entered his
first tournament in 1925 after few
months of practice.
He drew Big Joe in the first round
and lost two of the three falls, but
not before he had raced Big Joe
of the log after more than 81 min
utes of breathless birling.
The next year, at Is, he went to
the final and there faced Girard
With worlds title within his grasp
he tried to outspeed Girard and was
raced OF the log in two straight
falls in the fastest match ever held
For the next two years Marx con-
quered all comers, but he lost the
title in 1929 to Al Bergerson, of
Cloquet. In 1880 he regained it.
Depression Hits Tournament.
The depression forced abandon
ment of the annual tournament
again. In 1887, at Escanaba, Mich.
Joseph Connor, a University OF
Minnesota forestry student who
liked Shapespeare, defeated Marx in
the final. Like Marx, Connor never
had swung an axe or driven logs.
Jimmy Heron, Of Kelso, Wash,
a boom man and movie log-roller,
defeated a fellow townsman, Henry
Foster, for the title in 1888 at Es-
CANADA. Heron won the crown
again in 1910 and here in 194l.
Even the women now have their
day in the contests. Mary Jean
Malot Of Cornell, Wis, who won the
championship last year while study
ing at Anderson College, Indiana,
for religious work, will be back to
compete with Arbutus Wilson of
Ladysmith. Wis, Bette Berkley of
Longview, Wash, and Genevieve
Gauthier of Kelso, Wash.
But 1t appears birling will suffer
another discontinuance, for with
the Nation at war, lumberjacks are
needed more than ever in timber
regions.

BY GAYLE TALBOT,


NEW YORK, June 30.-President
Ed Barrow of the Yankees Is ex-
tremely cool and collected about
the present so-called plight of his
ball club, which has had its lead
over the American League sliced
down to 5la games and is groaning
with its accumulated ailments and
injuries.
Don't think we need to get ex-
cited about things yet" said the
veteran soothingly. Were Just in
a slump right now and l guess
we'll get over it. Anyway, we always
have. AS a matter of fact, we're
in better position now than we were
at this time last season.
Nope, I'm not thinking about
buying or trading for any players
nor will I ask for any help from
our farm clubs. We don't operate
that way. Well play 1t out with
what we have, no matter what hap
pens.
Good as Last Year, He Feels.
Sure, I think it's as good a club
as last year 1t should be. We
lost Johnny Sturm off first. is all,
and Buddy Hassett has played great
ball in his place. The only trouble
now is that we're in slump. Keller
and Di Maggie aren't hitting like
they should, but the other clubs
can't count on that lasting very long.
We're a little weak on southpaw
pitching. Marius Russo has a kink
in his shoulder and the doctor says
nothing but rest will get it well, so
we don't know when he will be
back. Phil Rizzuto has a strained
tendon in his leg and won't be back
on short for few days. But it's
nothing to worry about. Red Rolfe
went in and played a fine game
the other day and seems to be
about we'll Nothing has happened
to Joe Gordon, thank goodness"
Barrow always perks up noticeably
when the conversation swings
around to his second baseman.
Sometimes gruff, his voice softens
with real admiration when he talks
about Joe.
Rates Gordon the Best.
Il guess the only second baseman
I could compare with Gordon would
be Nap Lajoie. He had the same
grace in his movements and he was
a fine player. For that matter,
Charley Gehringer and Eddie Col
Inns were great second basemen. too.
But if I had my choice of the four
of them at their best I would take
Gordon. He takes charge of ball
games and wins them for you, that
boy does"
Which team, he was asked. did he
think stood the best chance of over
hauling the Yanks-the Boston Red
Sox or Cleveland?
I've said all along that three
clubs had about equal chances of
beating us, the Red SoX. the In
dians and Detroit. I still think
Detroit has a dangerous club. Del
Baker has some fine pitchers"
