tails are bit hazy. But the expert
uses up too many years in calling
the athletic peak.
Here are just a few leading ex-
amples--
i. Jack Dempsey was just "a the
day he manicured Jess Willard and
in this Massacre of Maumee Bay,
Dempsey was at his peak. He was
better that hot July afternoon than
he ever was later on. He earned
one-round knockout in that Toledo
assault, bell or no bell.
2. Ty Cobb was Is when he turned
In his greatest season. This was in
1911, when Ty delivered 248 base
hits, lat runs, SO stolen bases and
a batting average Of APO. He was
almost as good a year later with
.4l0 average, but not quite up to
his 1911 collection. The two ages
of rs and 20 found the Georgia Peach
at the top Of a great career.
3. Babe Ruth was 33 years old
when he blasted his so home runs.
This was in 1927. But the Babe Aired
SIS four base blows in 1921 when he
was only a. But 1t should be re-
called that the Babe was a pitcher
until he reached the age of Is. He
was around "a when he came to his
pitching prime.

Value of Experience

The eminent expert in sizing UP
the mental and physical side over
looked one important detail-it is
the physical side that collapses or
takes the first dip.
Many veterans still hang on, vet
Grams with fading legs and fading
arms, through greater experience
and the .smartness that only the
years can bring. These men have to
offer their brains against younger
legs and younger arms.
Jack Quinn was winning pitcher
well beyond 40, after 20 years Of
pitching, When some one asked Jack
how he could hang around so long
his answer was quite simple-"A
wife and six children
But the golden age of sport is still
youth-those years that run from %
to a. At the ages Of 26 and 81 we
have the winning combination of
physical youth and experience. Pos
sibly the ages % or % would be the
big years physically. but they lack
the experience which later years
bring.
Knute Rockne never liked sophie
mores and John McGraw never
cared for rockies.
After all, there is no substitute
for experience, eight times out Of
ten. In this diagnosis we must stick
with the general average-nOt with
the exceptions. In sport the best
physical years would be around 2S--
the top mental years around 2S.
las matter of fact" several wen
known trainers tell me. 1.-The ideal
physical age. minus experience, is
around q or %. It is experience
and the know-how that make 26 or
q the better years" -

Jones a Champ at 81

4. Bobby Jones found his best year
in 1880 when he ran into his Grand
Slam. He was then % years old.
A boy Wonder" at the age Of IA,
he was 81 before he won his first
championship in 1923. While Jones
was only % when he retired from
active competition, he still had
known Is seasons of hard. tourna-
ment golf.
5. Big Bill TiIden was 20 before
he won his first major crown. His
top years ran from 20 to 81, although
he remained star through another
decade. But you could name his
peak at % or 20 and not miss the
mark by many weeks.
8. Jim Thorpe, greatest all-around
athlete, came to his best year in 1912
when he was in the general neigh
borhood Of rs years. That was the
year Old Jim won the Olympic all
around championship while also
playing his best football and base
ball.
You'll find this cross section gives
you mans athletic prime around 20
or ~. l mean the top ones. l could
name other examples. Walter Hag-
en- was 81 when he bagged his first
U. s. open crown In 1914 and he
was rs when he won his last one at
Brae Burn in 1919. But after that
his British campaign was just as
brilliant.
The war cut into any Joe Louis
rating but you could name his 9th
year and not be far wrong.
And there's the case of Mel Helm,
the Giant center now facing his 10th
or goth football season, adding in
his college years at Washington
State. Helms peak was in the vicin-
ity of his 9th and 28th year.

Fire Prevention
Week Oct. Z Il
Maryland State Firemen's
Assn. Arranging Observ-
ance Throughout State

Fire Prevention Week is being
observed throughout Maryland this
year the week of October 7-13, and
an official proclamation has been
issued by Governor O'Conor point
ing out the necessity for the elimi-
nation of preventable fires. The
Maryland State Firemen's Asso-
citation through its President, Phil
Ryan, and its Fire Prevention In
spection Committee are arranging
an extensive statewide Fire Pre-
vention Week program. With the
cooperation of the State Superin-
tendent of Education, the County
Superintendent of Education and
the Principals of the individual
schools, arrangements have been
made for an inspection of every
public school in the State during
Fire Prevention Week. In addition,
as part of the weeks program, the
principals of all public schools are
inviting representatives of the
local volunteer fire companies to
speak at school assemblies on fire
prevention.
The chairman of the Maryland
State Firemen's Association Fire
Prevention-I Inspection Committee,
Charles R. Stallings, Jr., states:
During the War we were urged
to put forth every effort to lessen
the preventable loss by fire of life
and property and thus conserve
our Country's manpower and re-
sources for the struggle for final
Victory. Final Victory has been
achieved but it is just as impor-
tant that we put forth the same
effort toward the preventing of
Fires in order that our Country
will not be needlessly hampered
in its reconversion program and
that our returning Veterans will
not be kept from full employment
because of the preventable burning
of factory, store, farm or home"
On behalf of all of the firemen of
Maryland he urges the cooperation
of every man, woman and child in
the State to lessen the needless
and tragic loss of life and property
by fire.
