Orrey Champion Wefers Hesitates About Commenting on Paddock’s Record Race Veteran Must Know Con- ditions of Race Before Giving Opinion on Charlie’s Reported Feat in 220-Yard Event. By Robert Boyd. FER withstanding the assaults of the world’s greatest sprint- ers for twenty-five years, the 70-yard record ts at last sald to have been shattered by Charles Pad- dock, Olympic star of the University of Southern California, Inasmuch as Bernie Wefers ar. !5 the athlete who hung up the world's figures for thie distance of 21 1-6 sconds on Memorial Day in 1896, we deemed him the most logical author- ity to discuss the performance last Saturday of the sturdy-limbed na- tive son. The present New York A. C, coach corrected the faulty arm movement of the California boy while training last year at Travers Island for the Olympic try-outs at the Harvard Stadium. “What do you think of Paddock’s reported shattering your former world’ record at the Berkeley track in California last Saturday?” we asked the old New York A. C. star. “Well,” hastily retaliated the may- haired well-preserved star of yester- day, “if you can answer a few of my questions I will gladly comment on the authenticity of the 20 4-6 sec- onds that Paddock has been credited with doing on the coast in the dual meet between the California Uni- versity and the University of South- ern Californl, “What are the questions you desire us to answer?” we ask Wefers said: ‘Firat, tell me the condition of the track at Berkeley; secondly, the calibre of sprinters that opposed Paddock; the time of each of his competitors for the dis- how far Paddock won from the extent to which the | wind was blowing, and the experi ences of the timers.’ We frankly confessed that we could not answer any one of the aforementioned questions, and stated that the despatches from California failed to mention a: details except that there was a ‘wing: blowing across Ahe field, but thas the been instructed to await a full before sending the men off their marks. “That is not enough,” responded Wefers, “so I will be forced to with- hold comment untlt I hear these questions answered. “It has been a common oceur-cnce during the past twenty years,” con- tinued Wefers, “to hear that a cer tain athlete had shattered a world’s record. This is particularly true of the athletes along the Pacific “nast. In one breath we bear they have es- tablished a new record, and in the next we are either told that the timers erred, the watches had not been prop- | erly tested, the track was short or that a gale was blowing across the field that aided the runners in setving up new figures. If we allowed all records we have heard were broken we would have a difficult lime conypiling an athletic almanac. “Do not accept from what I have just said that I do not think Paddocks is capable of doing what he has ocon credited with. No, sir. the con- trary, I think if there is an athicce in the world capable of eras ng both the sprint records off the books it Is thig same stalwart Californian. ‘But there are circumstances and conditions that are generally instru- mental in tho setting up of new fig- ures." Paddock’s entrance and rise in the athletic world has been nothing short of meteoric and sensational. During the inter-allied games at the Pershing Stadium Paddock jumped into prominence while a member of the American Expedittonary Forces by defeating some of the greatest sprinters of America, Australia, Great Britain and France. Until these post-war games nothing was ever heard of the “California Comet.” He was nothing more than a natural born sprinter in those days, having little or no form that is essential for a champlonship short-distance man, relying mostly on his sheer strength and powerful “leg drive" to carry him to the tape like a cyclone, This did not prevent the athletic critins who watched him that day from provlaim- ing a bright future for the soldier sprinter. Little was heard of Paddoch after his demobilization until the national | sentor championships at Harvard last ' year, which were likewise to serve as the Oly epic tryouts. He came East for the “nationals, }and was away “off” his usual form. j Yet he defeated the best sprinters in jthe country in the 220 in 214-6 seconds. Many of the country’s most eminent coaches who saw Paddock perform that day pronounced that it was merely a matter of a short time before both sprint records would be at his merey. “Up to this period in his running he Wefers Corrected Running Faults That Probably En-| abled Sensational Young-| ster to Accomplish Great Record. | | still had a few obvious defects in his running style. His arm movement decreased instead of increased his running efficiency," said Bernie W fers, in speaking of his form. “I saw these faults and explained to him the | importance of the arms in sprinting. Hts being @ natural born sprinter had not required much coaching up to that time and his form suffered greatly.” Under Wefers’s coaching and_ the correction of the arm swing Paddock seemed to improve. He told Wefers | one day that if he ever did climb into | the van of record holders he would | sive the New York A. C. veteran credit for correcting his imperfect arm movement and running form. Paddock won the “hundred” and ran second to Allan Woodring in’ the 220 at the Olympic Games in Ant- wenp last year, He later returned, hung up his spiked shoes and entered the University of Southern Califor- nia, Nothing was heard of him since his return from Belgium until he equalled Howard Drew's and Dan Kelly's world’s record of 93-5 for the “hundred” and shattered the 220- yard record in an intercollegiate dual meet with the University of Califor- nia Inst Saturday. The fact that Paddock's running ever since the Inter-Allied has been incredibly consistent and the time \lways close to world's record figures, speaks well for the possibility of his record made at Berkeley being au- thentic, Yet there still hovers around it the remote chance of something “wrong” somewhere. “There is no finer chap in the run- ning game," said Wefers, “than Pad- dock, and it would be a great source of pleasure for me to hear his record had been allowed by the A. A. U. om- clals, but until you answer my aues- tions a before you and I hear fur- ther will withhold passing judg- ment on the breaking of a record that had stood up admirably for twenty- five years.” ——— Sam Monsberg Wine Bout.

MOBILE, Match 29.—The week which the Giants had expected to de- vote to the final drive for the perfec- tion of team play during the team's stay bere will instead be given up to work on the pitching staff, for au three of the team’s star ‘nfielders, Bancroft, Rapp and Frisch, are out of the game. Bancroft went to a local hospital this morning to have his ton- sils removed, and in the line-up against the Louisville Colonels this afternoon Smith or Snyder will play first base, Monroe, second; Kelly, the tall third baseman, shortshop, | and “Pep” Young, the speedy outfielder, third. However, Hugh Jennings figures it better to have all the stars out at the same time than have the Infield patched up continually. The chances are that Bancroft and Frisch can get back into the line-up In time for the Athletics sertes on Friday and Satur- day, and “Goldie’ Rapp by Sunday or Monday. Telephone reports from the Touro Infirmary, New Orleans, say the fast third sacker is making good progress. The pitohers need work and plenty of it, and If the weather conditions improve here they will be driven hard It rained yesterday and washed out the game scheduled with Mobile, and the weather to-day is raw and threat- ening.

(Special to The Breatng World.) SHREVEPORT, La., March 29. HB cool weather that struck the | Yankee camp yesterday is still ) in evidence, but inflicting jittle or no hardship upon Miller Huggins's athletes, The men have advanced to such a point in their training that a mere fall in the tem- perature affects them hardly at all. Doubtful muscles loms since have had thelr test of fire and a few days of decreased activity mean nothing | more serious than a chance to rest. |The Yankees, idle almost altogether yesterday, going to the park for only @ few minutes, face a real, nine-in- ning game against Shreveport to-day. Climatic conditions yesterday af- |ternoon were such that the players jcould have indulged with safety in {much more strenuous work than Huggins asked them to attempt. The mercury reaches its highest mark of course at just about the time the game begins, so the contest to-day is not such a bugbear after all. It may be a bit cool before the fray is fin- ished, but the Yankees are hardy enough to weather the tempest. Cool weather is predicted for the next two ‘or three days, and “cool” means cold enough at night tp make overcoats not only comfortable but necessary. These “Southern bliz- zards,” though, and especially at this time of year, have a way of hiking out the side door much more quietly and quickly than they came. At any earlier time during the training season this spell of weather would have been a distinct annoyance to Miller Huggins, but his men are now in such hardened condition that even a continued cool wave would not matter much. The boys would just get a taste of what they probably will run into at the Polo Grounds on April 13. ‘The Yankee camp is stili debating the question of just wht will be done with the superabundance of Jirst class material, Some ask how Ward can hope to displace a second baseman who is travelling at Fewster’s dizzy clip, and still others are bold enough to wonder how J.

As soon as the pen-and-ink managers jerk Meusel from the outfield he dangles about in their smoke rings, wondering where to play. t is admittedly a difficult task to keep a .320 batter out of the regular line-up, but that is just where Meusel may find himself. Huggins has all but said definitely that Meusel will not alternate with Pipp at first base. That information narrows the Cali- fornian’s chances to the bench and the outfield, If Meusel gets into right as a regu- Roth will be in centre, with Ping Bodie on the bonch. It will be hard to keep Ping out of the game, even harder than to keep Meusel on the bench. Ping’s batting average is slighter than Meu- sel's, but by only the narrowest mar- gin. Th wonderful wop is good nor- mally for .800 or a little better, and no one knows just how much more than that Meusel will be able to de- liver this year. It is charged in some quarters that Bodie doesn't cover much ground. At worst he covers as much as Meusel, who has yet to show an outflelding instinct. Tt would be a fine thing to have op- posing pitchers worry over the fact that Meusel was coming up right after Ruth, but old Ping has worried a few in his own day. The Bodice faction caps all its arguments with the assertion that Ping has just fin- ished the best year he ever had in with his whole heart and soul. Quite a fitting climax, indeed, for Ping truly lives baseball, night’ and day.
