' ) BvIGEORGE MeMANUS HAVIN' ONE, WO THREE ~>2( YUSTIN 1S WINNING AM OF well-known “invisible audience’| seem to have a strange if not ac- tually paralyzing effect on a num- | ber of star athletes, who think | nothing of doing their stuff ordi- | narily before thousands of roaring | or galloping fanatics. Lefty Grove's confidence on the mound is such that he feels no special qualms in pitching to the eminent George Herman Ruth, but before the “mike,” in Washington, the star southpaw of the A's ob- viously was nervous and rattled in getting off his “piece” about base- ball prospec By contrast, Ruth was very much | at ease, speaking for the most part extemporaneously on a variety of subjects and with obvious confi- dence in his oratorical powers. Of course, the Babe has had more experience at public speaking than Grove. In addition self-confidence always has been a conspicuous as- set of the Yankee slugger. Four Pennant Winners Hack Wilson ana Dazzy Van.ic, who also figured in the National Broadcasting company's entertain- ing pre-season program, expressed themselves about the new ball. “The thicker seams,” ventured Dazzy, “probably will help curve ball pitchers to get a better grip on the ball They say the Na-| tional league is a curve-ball league, | s0 maybe it will help us.” | “ I think the new ball will trav-| el just as far as the old one, if is hit solidly enough,” added Wil-| son. “At least I -haven't nonced any difference.” Strangely enough, when it camc} to remarks about - the outcome of | the pennant races, Grove picked the Athletics, Vance nominated the Brooklyn Robins, Ruth picked | the Yankees “if they get a little pitehing,” and Wilson selected tho Cubs to win. Ruth made the magnificent ges-| ture by agreeing with Vance that the National league race figured to be a lot tougher than the Amer- ican. | PHONES 83 OR 85 © 1931, Int'] Feature Service. Inc..

SPORT: IAEDIT O&ss Knew How Bill Munday, the radio announcer who can still remember his pitch- ing days, tells a story about Bchby Jones’ debut on the air for a se- ries of golf talks. The great golfer, it seems, was extremely nervous about the whole proceeding, so much so that it was necessary to put up a screen around him to block off the view of a crowd of friends and onlook- ers. “Bobby,” spoke up O. B. Ka the champion's Boswell, “wh the idea of letting a little thing like a radio talk disturb you? Why I've seen you go out in front 10,000 or 15,000 fans in a big tour- nament and play your best with- out paying the slightest attention to the crowd.” “That’s all right,” replied Jones, “but I knew what I was doing then and how to do it.” NATIONAL PRIZE WON BY JUNEAU PUPIL| Le Roy West, eighth grade pupil in the Juneau elementary school, is one of 25 winners throughout the nation in the “Our States” contest for the week of March 9 to 13, held under auspices of Cur- rent Events, educational publica- tion. | The winners drew outline of Missouri and of projects | spective states.
