Elmer Q. Oliphant, West Point's star football player and Uncle Sam's | greatest athlete, is now trying out for the Army hockey team in hopes of winning his fifth “A™ at the military academy. Oliphant has set a new record at the army school by winning four let- ters, a feat never before accomplished. He has letters in football, track and basketball. The only sport for which a letter is awarded at West Point is hockey. Oliphant was compelled to give up his basketball this year in order to try out with the hockey team as prac: tice for both is held at the same hours, Heine Groh, Cincinnati intielder. Was the best waiter in the National | league last season. Official averages | show he received S{ ps sin 149 games. And the figures for the tas’ two sea- ‘== (sons show Heine has been gettin on an’ comple: provement on HEN it comes to tobacco any improvement. N made Nature’s way. hbase oftener than he did before thr time. The secret seems to be in an odd [batting style the little Cincinnatian ji sing, a style revived from the days of Old Pop Anson. While the average player hugs the Heine Groh, leading waiter of Nat’onal League. Groh, who faces the box, makes hard mark for pitcher. plate with the front of his body to- ward first base and only his head turned toward:: the ~pitcher, Groh stands back the plate squarely fac- ing the pitche He steps up to the plate as the intends to swing. ! ‘As a result the pitcher has nothing except the plate to shoot at, while or dinarily he has the batter's body as a guide. The odd style is qnade more discon- certing to the pitcher because Groh is the only ball-player today who uses this style in batting and the pitcher ED WALSH MAY BUY DES MOINES CLUB | The retirement of Big Ed Walsh} from major league baseball may fore- | cast the control of the Des Moines Western league team by another mem. | her of the White Sox. | Walsh is seriously considering buy- j ing a controlling interest in the Des Moines team following the purchase of the Wichits franchise by Frank Is- bell. who held the controlling interest im the Des Moines team for several years, Isbell was a member of the Sox when that team won the world cham- pionship in 1906. FRED MITCHELL TO USE HONOR SYSTEM TO MAKE CUBS STAY ON WAGON Fred Mitchell is to put the honor system in force in Chicago. Ballplayers are not to be told what they shall or shall not do, but will be expected to keep themselves in con- dition, xions, any im- Nature ain’t Velvet is fire all night, and is economical. satisfaction with our customers.

Most are intelligent enough to know their salaries depend ! upon keeping in condition and it is! seldom necessary to put a guard over them to keep them in bed at night and away from the influences which make them useless on the field next day, Connie Mack had a perfect honor system with his world champions, Mack didn’t ride his men, nor did he have them watched. But they knew that he would not tolerate dis- sipation and that he «was shrewd enough to recognize the “day after” symptoms immediately. Several of that famous outfit had never used li- quor and did not have to be warned— the others respected the confidence Mack placed in them The honor system should work as well with the Cubs. 100 MILES AN HOUR IN BOAT Ice boating at 60 or 70 miles an hour is not fast enough for New York sportsmen and a new motor-propelled jiceboat is being built for Pierre A. |Proal, New York sportsman and ama- jteur golfer which, it is believed, will develop speed of 100 miles an hour or more, The boat is to be equipped with a two-eylinder aviation motor develop- ing 14-horsepower which will turn an aeroplane propellor six feet in dia- .

His unique batting position causes him to hit usu- right-handed. Only a few great hitters hive used this batting style. til Cap Anson, a free, hard'hitter, used it for years while he was piling up his record of 3,000 hits. Ping Bodie used it with telling effect in the Am- | erican league, and Jimmie Callahan i) also batted from that position. MINOT TO EXTEND WHITE WAY TO BOULEVARDS Minot, N.
