Says Rommel, who is an expert | bowler: “A slow ball, properly de- livered and under control, will ac- complish just as much as a can-| non-ball smash down the line.” The facts are all against him. Not one in a dozen high-ranking bowlers is without a certain amount of smoke. All of the national leaders use a mod- erate or an excessive amount of speed. Only rarely does a bowler with a mark- edly slow ball rise above mediocrity. Too Fast to Curve. In his heyday as a stake shooter Glenn Wolstenholme delivered the ball with such zip that the tremendous Eng- lish on it tock no effect until the sphere reached the pins. Rolled slowly Wol- stenholme’s ball would have been a “round-house” curve. Jack White of Connecticut is a hu- man rifle. Ray Von Dreele of Balti- more combines speed with English and has shot more sensational scores than any other duckpinner. Jack Whalen's ball is swift and twisty. So is Red Megaw's, Max Rosenberg’s and Georgie Friend' About the only Washington star who rolls a ball slow enough to produce a pronounced hook is Bradley Manley. Howard Campbell delivers the sphere 80 smoothly that the speed of it is deceptive. Such was the manner, too of Harry Krauss. ‘Without speed the bowler can hope for few flybacks and minus there he is at a disadvantage competing with the man who combines speed with ac- curacy. Rommel shoots a mioderately fast ball. - In a recent issue of the Baltimore & Ohio Magazine, Rommel gave some tips that may bz helpful to beginners, leaving out the slow ball suggestion.

C. Man, Made Umpire. BY HERBERT W. BARKER. Associated Press Sports Writer. | EW YORK, February 5.—The | dove of peace finally hovers | over the strife-torn Brooklyn i club of the National League. The long battle between Wilbert Robin- | son, president-manager-director of the club, and S. W. McKeever, a director heading an opposition faction, was end- ed yesterday by official action of the National League, holding its Spring meeting here. Under the somewhat complicated | terms of the agreement, Robinson re- | signed as president and director, and | was re-engaged as_manager for two years. Frank B. York, attorney for | McKeever, and member of the board, was eclected president for two years. Robinson’s successor as & director will be named by Joseph A. Gilleaudeau, secretary and member of the board, who represents the heirs of the late Charles H. Ebbets. Still another member of the boayd will be named by John A. Heyd- ler, president of the National League. The directors when the slate is com- pleted thus will consist of McKeever, York, Gilleaudeau and the two ap-, pointees, one by Gilleaudeau and the other by He?‘dler. The Brooklyn situation has been a sore spot in the league for some years. Robinson's three-year contract as manager expired at the end of the 1929 season, and McKeever, opposed its re- newal while the Ebbets heirs, holding 50 per cent of the club's stock, stood Strictly speaking, the club has been without a manager since Robinson’s contract ex- pired. The league also adopted the schedule; re-elected Barney Dreyfuss of Pitts- burgh as vice-president, and referred to the rules committee & suggestion by Emil Fuchs of the Boston Braves that the rules be amended to permit umpires to eject players from games for & specified number of ininings instead of for the duration of the contest. ‘The umpire slate for 1930 was ap- proved as follows: William J. Klem, Charles Rigler, Ernest C. Quigley, Charles B. Moran, Charles Pfirman, Jonn E. Reardon, Louis D. Jorda, Al- bert D. Stark, George Magerkurth, all holdovers, and Mike R. Donohue, St. Louis; Robert M. Clarke, Washington, D. C., and Ted McGrew of Indianapolis, new men. ‘This trio will succeed Bob Hart, Eddie McLaughlin and _Barry McCormick. Clarke is from the International League, Donohue from the Texas League and McGrew from the Afnerican Assoclation. PR ST. GODDARD LEADS OTTAWA DOG DERBY By the Associated Press.

We staged our party December 28, 1928, at the Garden in Boston, and the damage was done near the end of the last round. Going into the ring that night, I saw Jack Sharkey in a front row chair. We were shipmates on the U. S. 8. Den- ver when Jack was boxing as “Battling” Skee. I was then a -big, gawky kid of 16, and hadn’t learned to handle my dukes.

Johnny feinted awk- wardly with his right—can you imagine a smart fighter feinting with his right —and I fell for the trap. I listed to starboard to avoid the punch and ran smack into his wild follow-up left hook. I had misjudged my distance, ducking too far inside, and instead of Risko'’s glove locating my chin, his forearm smashed my mouth, knocking three teeth loose. Two went down my wind- pipe and the other dropped to the canvas, Had this happened earlier in the round or during the first part of the fight I couldn't have finished.

Foster one even in these days, when talking millions has become common and bil- lions are tossed more glibly off thc tongue than they were in the time of McGuffey’s Third Reader. The feat of Cy Young is greater than that of Babe Ruth as a home-run hitter. Any pitch- er will tell you so and bring evidence to prove it. The pitcher works; the batter has something pleasant before him all of the time. Pitchers are not very good batters, but don’t think they do not like to bat because they are less expert in that respect than others. Not a kit of it. When it comes time for a pitcher to hit the ball he wishes to walk to home plate like the other players. “Why, that's all the pleasure we get in the game,” said John Clarkson once upon a time. “When we are not bat- ting we are working our heads and our arm® off. The batter goes up to home plate and tries to outguess us, and is S0 tickled over a base hit that he talks about it to himself. The pitcher saws wood all of the time.” Young saw the world series games of 1929 in Chicago. “To tell you frankly,” he said, “I don't think much of this modern pitch- ing. Cut my work out altogether, and I tell you the pitchers who were in base ball when I was in were better than the pitchers they have nowadays. They don’t work 'em enough now. You can’t | pitch base ball well if you are only £0ing to pitch about two games in evcry eight days, and some of them don't pitch two in ten days. “When I was pitching T was ready to go in every third day. In fact, I felt better when I could pitch at that rate than T did when they tried to work four pitchers on a team. My theory of piching is that you should have two winners and work them; a third who can be worked almost as often and a good fourth to fill in with when some- thing happens. If you've got two win- ners you can bet you have two pitchers who are good for every third day, and they'll give you better satisfaction than OR the sake of {illustration and at bat in the box score.

HE day I broke into the American League was one of the toughest games in which I ever played. And because I flared up and made a smart crack at the late Hughey Jennings, I got a better chance to make good. I was playing with Indianapolis, back in 1908, but was so small the scouts gave me little attention, being only 5 feet 6 inches and weighing only 130 pounds. Besides I was only 18, In the Fall of that year Detroit was leading the American League and was slipping badly when an accident befell Charlie O'Leary, the veteran shortstop.

" s luck would have it, the Browns hit @ carload of hard balls at me all after- noon. Some of them I got and others I didn't, but late in the game, with the score tied and a man on first, the bat- ter slammed a hard line drive right into my waiting hands. It was a dead double play. But the ball popped right out of my glove. I then picked it up and made 8 bad throw, far out of the first base- man’s reach. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.

By the Assocated Pre HICAGO, February 5.—Primo Carnera, Italy's fighting glant, has frightened Elzear Rioux, the wood-chopping heavy= weight from Montred], into an indefinite and involuntary retirement from Illi- nois rings. Rioux went into his forced retirement yesterday at the order of the Illinois State Athletic Commission, which con- cluded, after an investigation, that fright alone was responsible for his umsatisfactory showing against the Itallan man mountain at the Stadium Friday night. In addition to his banishment the commission fined him $1,000 and re~ voked his license, th: maximum pen- alty in this State. Carnera, who won the lopsided match by a knockout after just 47 seconds, was held blame- less by the commission and enriched by approximately $16,000, his share of the gate, which was held up pending the outcome of the investigation. Dave Barry, referee of the abbre- viated match, which resuited in boos from fans and shouts of fake, told the commission that Rioux was only a vic- tim of fright and that he saw no signs of a conspiracy for a “dive” on the part of the Canadian. Even before he entered the ring, Barry said, Rioux nR- peared rigid with fear and when the bell clanged for the start of the match Rioux stood in the center stunned and too frightened to lift his hands for defense. The two judges at the match, E, L. Cook and W. A. Batty, agreed that Rioux hit the floor five times without being hit hard enough to topple over a bantamweight. The punch it sent him to the floor, flat on his face, for the sixth and final count was described by them as well directed, but not hard enough to produce drowsiness, Rioux admitted he was “very scared” and that he didn’t know what it was all about after Carnera landed his first blow. Carnera wasn't present at the hear- ing which cleared him, but testified by deposition that he believed, too, that Rioux was a victim of fright. Warren Brown, sports editor of the Chicago Herald and Examiner, who told the commission he did not think Rioux was a fit opponent and that the bout shouldn’t have been sanctioned or pro- moted, today classed the event as the “prize matchmaking flasco in the history of commission-governed boxing in the State of Illinois.” TRAPSHOOT SATURDAY.
