SPEAKING OF SP®RT BY FRANK GETTY _

Watch Germany in 1932 The fact that a number of German experts will arrive in the United States next Monday to study American athletic methods is indicative of the strong bid for track and field honors to be made by Germany in the Olympic games at Los Angeles in 1332. Athletic success, hitherto seemingly an American prerogative, depends upon a number of factors. You must have the material, of course, and the constant application of a nation’s youth to sport. Application of proper training to the survivors of national elimination contests is equally important. Germany has the material, and her young men are going in more and more for sport, particularly track and field athletics. The present generation of school and club athletes is practically unscathed by the recent world war.

Van Ryn and Allison defeated Tilden and Hunter in a doubles match. 1-6, 6-4, 6-3.

The Germans want to know what we do with our Athletic material, once we have discovered it. Dr. Theodore Lewals, president of the German Alympic Committee, and Dr. Carl Diem secretary-general of the German Federal Council of Athletics, will spend the ensuing month in acquiring knowledge of American training methods, as well as in "getting an insight into the schooling of American lady and gentlemen educatois for physical training,” as the visitors’ letter of introduction puts it. Dr. Lewals is the man largely responsible for Germany’s excellent showing in the Olympic games of 1928 at Amsterdam. In those games, German runners placed in all the flat events up to 1,500 metres and finished second to the United States in both relay events Germany will be a powerful contende at Los Angeles.

Old Alex Expects To Stay In Big Leagues “Some Time To Come” New York, May 6. —,U.R, —“I don’t ! have this stuff I used to have but I expect to keep on pitching in the big j leagues for two or three more years,"; (irover Cleveland Alexander, 42-year-old St. Louis Cardinal pitcher, told the United Press in an exclusive interview today. “I'm pitching more with my head , now than with my arm,’’ he continued.| "Every hall I throw up to the plate | is aimed at a certain spot. “I used to take a chance on a hitter when I had a good load or was go-' ing good hut nowadays you’ve got to be more careful and work hard on every hitter.’’ Beginning his nineteenth season in the National league, Alexander attributes seventy-five per cent of pitching skill to control. "Because my control gets better all the time, I am still pitching in the big leagues, while other pitchers who have just as much stuff or more than I have have gome back to the minors," he said. Alexander isn't certain if he’ll ever play minor league baseball after his big league career is over. "I figure I’ll stay in baseball for | some time to come,” he added, “but I j don't know now if I'll pitch for any minor league team. I might try my hand as a manager.” The high spot of his career, Alexander said, was when he relieved Haines in the seventh inning of the final game of the 1926 world ser'cs against the Yankees and fanned Lazzeri with the bases filled. In the two succeeding innings Alex held the Yanks scoreless and the Cardinals won the game, 3 to 2, and the world series. “I don't get the thrill out of baseball some of 'em seem to,” he said, “but I guess that was about the biggest kick 1 ever got out of any game.” High School Boy Hurls No-Hit, No-Run Victory Beverley Hills, Cal., May 6.—(U.R) — Baseballs rarest seat —a non run, no hit game—is credited to Bud Rose. Rose in pitching for Beverley high school to a 5-0 victory over Van Nuys permitted but one opponent to reach first base.
