Maybe You Can Do Better

4. Query - What heavyweight
champion has been knocked down
more than any other heavyweight
champion, and in turn has knocked
down or knocked out more challeng-
ers?
Answer-Joe Louis. Louis was
knocked down many times before
he was champion by Max Schmel-
ing. He was knocked down by Jim
Braddock, Tony Galento and Buddy
Baer. But his list of knockdowns
and knockouts included most of
his opponents.
5. Query-What famous heavy
weight knocked his opponent down
then stopped over and lifted him to
his feet, TO the cheers Of the crowd
for a sp0rtsmanlike act - then
knocked him down again as he held
him up, TO the boos of the crowd?
Answer-Jim Corbett when he
fought Joe Choynski on a California
barge. Choynski fought barehand-
ed, Corbett with skin-tight gloves.
6. Query-This is one you should
not miss. What golfer won a major
open championship with hole in
one?
Answer-Jock Hutchinson at ST.
Andrews in 1921. His hole in one
gave him the chance to tie young
Roger Wethered, British amateur,
who subsequently, ruined his
chances by stepping on his ball as
he walked backward to keep the
right line.

Right now there isn't much basis
for comparing the smuggling abilities

home runs in one season (l9l3) In
the dead BALI era, and Babe Ruth,
who pounded the rabbit" ball over

fans win have better opportunity
to compare the ability Of pitchers
and hitters in 1916. say. with pitch.
ers and hitters of 1860.
But we will continue to hope that
such arguments are not settled by
mathematical formula. There are
already too many minor certain
ties in life. The unexpected and the
debatable problems are what win
and hold interest.

Compression Tests

Manufacturers have never agreed
as to the effect that a certain type
of center has on the performance
of baseball. But compression tests
have proven that when one center
differs from another, the difference
in resiliency or rebound will be re-
fiected in the performance of the
ball, assuming, of course, the mott
waiting forces are equal.
The yarn in the ball, Goldsmith
explains, must be live, wiry. resilient
and must meet rigid tests of tensile
strength and twist. The cover, too,
affects the playability and durability
of the ball. Covers must be skived
to uniform thickness, since the balls
flight differs with the thickness of
the cover. The thinner the cover,
the livelier the ball. And unless the
covers are firm, they loosen under
pounding. This slows up the ball to
considerable extent.
Even the cement which seals the
bond between cover and yarn has
its effect. If the cement soaks too
deeply into the yarn, II deadens the
ball. An excessive amount may af-
feet the official weight.
One thing is certain. When the
carry Of the ball is regulated, man.
ayers will be able to evaluate bet
ter the hitting ability of players in
Class D to Double A baseball, taking
into consideration the dimensions of
the parks played in. Fans will have
better yardstick to compare the
smuggling ability of fellow who hits
40 home runs in 1916 and a player
who collects the same number 10
years hence.

Just recently Mr.. Phil Goldsmith,
whose name is not unknown among
manufacturers Of sports equipment,
made the point with the statement
that "the question as to what per
feet ball is, will never be answered
by the players themselves. Hitters
will always favor a ball that can be
propelled out Of the park with little
effort, while the pitchers will always
insist the ball should be more or
less lethargic."
Mr.. Goldsmith is also a bit terri
flying. He says that baseball moguls
will determine through scientific
tests that they want a ball that will
travel * number of feet when
propelled by ~ amount Of force"
Doubtless he is right. Probably
there should be some sort Of . tried
and true standard-a basis upon
which to Judge the proper flight of
q baseball. But the thought is dis
heartening. II isn't hard to imagine
the Brooklyn Dodgers taking time
out to put poorly hit ball through
the testing machine, then wildly cal
culating their chances for a protest.
Goldsmith contends that the man.
ufacture Of universally acceptable
ball depends on a more scientific
understanding Of five factors. name
ly: the center, the yarn, winding
processes, cement and the leather
cover.

IT WON'T be long before one more
time-honored baseball argument
goes by the boards. The controver-
sy concerning the carry" of base
ball is likely to be settled by pre-
scribed formula, forever eliminating
disagreement as to whether the ball
rs too lively or too dead.
And science marches on. Scien-
tific tests will replace the much
more enjoyable hot-stove argu-
ments. The mathematician shall
prevail over the bIeacherite.
It was back in 1887 that H. G.
Salsinger, one Of the nations better
sports writer's, whose efforts appear
in the Detroit News, had this to say
concerning the mechanics of a
baseball:
There will be objections to the
ball regardless of what type is used.
The lively ball is serious handicap
to pitchers and boon to batters;
the slow ball is a boon to pitchers
and a handicap to batters."

 Jap Soldier

WASHINGTON-Out of this war is coming what may be one of the most valuable assets in future deal ings of he United States with fore ign natiOns-a knowledge of the people who inhabit them.
 Before Pearl Harbor. the Hot tentots couldn't have fooled us as badly as the Japanese did. Our eyes have been opening. but only those who have been in battle against the Japs have had an opportunity to get them open wide enough to see clear ly.
 That's the reason why a little l25-page pocket booklet, issued by the semi-official Infantry Journal entitled "The Jap Soldier" is an important item to any one who wants to understand what we are p against in the Pacific.
 It's a distillatiOn of about every thing that military men have learned about the Jap soldier. It makes an effort to get at the truth about the Japanese: What kind of a man is he? What goes on behind his Oriental dead pam"
 FOR Jap-Fighters
 Designed primarily for use by the men who are going to have to fight the Japs, the booklet, sprinkled gen. erously with pictures, dodges liter ary flights. Much ocf the writing is close to slang bt the kind that's understood from Maine to Cali fOrnia.

 Japs Soldier is Tough
 Although generally small in sta ture, he's tough as a boot having been trained for warfare sine he ccould crawl out of the cradle. He can go for days on Rising sun meals. which consist of cup of rice with a pickled plum in the middle Ia dish that bears some re semblance 10 the Japanese flag from which it gets it's name.1
 If he has any genius in the field it is for infiltration. eamouflage and patience. and all three of these arts have been developed for the particular type of fighting that has to be done in the Pacific.
 If ever a warrior people chose their battle-ground. the Japs have.
 All these things and many more are in "The Jap Soldier" It's no literary gem but lot of military reaIists here are saying that they wish it could be circulated to all the folks who are beginning to think the battle of the Pacific may be just a sideshow Europe
