just In Case

BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

In the major leagues, when
more than two Ilmpires are used,
such as the World Series, when q
man in blue works near each base
and behind the plate, the gent who
calls 'em as he sees 'em from q ball
and strike standpoint, goes 70
THIRD base, the next game or next
day. Wanna know wty2 It's because
the umpiring Job ut the "hot corner"
Is considered easiest Of any that
come to an umpire, and the plate
job the toughest; 30 to ''even things
up" the plate Jump goes to third then
to second and around to first bass
In that order There must DO
available for each game in the Amer
lean league 48 baseballs, furnished
by the home club; II its q double
header, there must be 70 "apples"

patched UP their differences Of opi1l-
ion as to each others eyesight.

Greatest OF
OF Territory,
BY HARRY GRAYsON
NEA Sports Editor

Jim Thorpe generally Is consid-
cred the greatest all-around athle-
tic Of all time.
The Red Terror Of Carlisle ran
100 yards In 10 seconds, high Jump
ed six feet three, put the shot a.
feet, threw the discus 1875, hurled
the javeline as far as anybody. He
was q good enough ball player to
spend some time with the New York
Giants. He shot with the EXPERIENCES
Of his race.
But Jim Thorpe played football
best Of all.
There are endless stories Of his
professional days Of Knute Rock
ne after two plays taking the Inn
mortal Sac and Fox's advice and
letting OF Jim rum" but 1t was
while an undergraduate In the
federal Indian school Of Carlisle
that Jim Thorpe became better
than Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse or
Geronimo.
In addition to his swiftness,
drive and natural knack Of hand
ling himself and the ball, Thorpe
had no peer in the three styles Of
kicking.
In the present open play, where
speed, passing and deception
count heavily, Thorpe and the
Carlisle Indians would have been
well nigh unbeatable.
Indeed, 1t was they who inspir-
ed Glenn Scobey Pop" Warner
to much Of the trickery which has
been employed in football since
Thorpe played the old style game
to be named on Water Camps AL
American teams of 1911 and 1912.
THORPE DID IMPOSSIBLE
Jim Thorpe was o twin. His
brother, Charley, died C: pneumo-
MIA ct eight, but wind, rain and
snow merely toughsned ] m.
From infancy Jim laid the foun-
ration for his phenomenal athletic
prowess by runsiing up and down
Oklahoma hills In follow-the-leader
games, swimming creeks, etc. AT is
he was conceded to be the best
roper Of wild horses in Oklahoma
territory.
"Thorpe was lazy" reminisces
Chief Leon A. Miller, present
coach Of City college Of New York
who played with him at Carlisle,
"but the tougher the going the bet
ter he liked 1t.

Costa Again
Beats Champ

Providence, r. l., Oct. 10 - %.
P0 - For the second time this
year, Tony Costa Of Woonsocket, r.
l., has defeated an NBA worlds
featherweight champion without
gaining the title.
Costa, @ rugged little Portuguese
puncher who ranks seventh in his
division, gained a split decision last
night over Champion Phil Terrain
ova In q non.title match at the
Rhode Island auditorium.
Throughout the 10-round battle,
Costa out-boxed and out-maneuv-
cred the aggressive Terrenova and
piled up points with his counter
punching.
Earlier this year, Costa defeated
the then Champion Jackie Callura
Of Hamilton, Ont, In o non-title
scrap that many believed started
Callura on the downward trail.
Edge On Points
Against Terranova, Costa built UP
o big lead on points In opening
rounds which gave him enough to
win though he tired in late rounds.
Costa weighed 1871, Terranova l24.
In an eight-round semi-flal, Ben
ny Williams, lat, Of New York City
decisioned Bernie Miller, i42, Of
New York. In six rounds, al Bar
bosa, 1855, Of Carver. Mass, tech
nically knocked out Alex Rehark,
1877, Of Pawtucket.
Four round matches saw Johnny
Coe, 1873, Of Medford, Mass, deci-
sion Billy Wilson, 1873, Of Provi-
denoe; and Danny Correa, 1856, Of
Providence draw with Joe Celletti,
1877, Of East Providence.

fered only one blot against their
record; but It Is o big one. They
were crushed IS to Is by Notre
Dame. Despite this unprecedented
trouncing by the Irish, Georgia
Tech still must be regarded as q
menace, II the MiddieS let down.
Although comparative. scores are
not necessarily important, the
Middies should remember that
Georgia Tech beat North Carolina
20-7; whereas Duke won only l4-7
over North Carolina.
Last Saturday. In. the rain at An
napolis, Navy was not impressive
against Penn State. The Middies
registered q touchdown and con-
version In the first period: but then
they became so ineffective Often
stvely that In the other three pc
RODS Navy made only six first
downs and got into Penn State ter
rttory only three times, including
Bill Barron's 4S-yard touchdown
run in the last session. They were
playing against q team on which
several men received no rest.
However, in the Middies behalf
1t can be emphasized that the mud
and slippery ball interfered with
their back-of-the-line speed and
hocus-pocus. Also that they were
playing without six men who were
injured In the Duke game, includ-
ing Backs Bob Jenkins and Bruce
Smith. All are expected to be pres
ent Saturday night.

If you really wanted him to do
something, all you had to do was
tell him It couldn't be done. When
the chips were down there was no

he'd wind up beating you before you
finished showing him the funda-

Most physicians list false mod
esty as a powerful ally of disease.
Because they are loathe to submit
to thorough examination of the
body by a physician, many men
and women allow certain conditions
TO 60 untreated in the hope that
the trouble will clear up spontan-
eously. Thus medical science, so
able to help in the early stages of
disease, stands helplessly by while
certain ailments are given a chance
to do their worst by the victim.
