I fT"T;ORE than seventy tons of j horseshoes were pitched in L j the national horseshoe pitching tournament, recently completed at St. Petersburg, Fla., according to the figures of a demon statistician from that city. The horseshoes traveled 450 miles, if each succeeding shoe was pitched from where the previous one had landed. In all 59,672 shoes were pitched. Each shoe weighs two and onehalf pounds and was thrown forty feet. Now just how much energy was needed to pitch these horseshoes? * • Cadet Dudley G. Striokler of Middletown, Ind., iuis been elected captain of the West Point basketball team for next year. He has played guard on the club for three years. He succeeds the brilliant Johnny Itoosnia. * * j-r~I,VCK BRITTON, ex-welter-I weight champion, has had I J J close to 300 battles. Jack started his ring career In 1904. He was 19 then. Britton gained the welter title in 1916. The following year he lost It to Ted Kid) Lewis. And then won it back in 1919, knocking Lewis out in the ninth. In 1922 Britton, stepped off the throne for good, losing to Mickey Walker in fifteen rounds. Britton has fought them all. He I has never drawn any lines. He Hikes action. Has got plenty of it. Despite his long career in fistic circles, he has yet to be knocked out. * * • Indiana University has a classy dash man on the track squad by the name of Pepper, , Make your own comment. * * * AT~~~~ NOTHER major league veteran, Cy Perkins, catcher of the Athletics, may do bench duty a good portion of the coming season. Perkins, who not long ago rated with the backstopping stars, is apt to be shoved into the background by two youngsters, Micky Cochrane and Jimmy Fox. Cochrane, it will be recalled, bore the brunt of the Athletics’ catching work last year. It was his first In big time, too. Fox, according to reports, is a most promising prospect and has a chance to get the second-string receiving job. • * * MURPHY of Marlon High School gets to the State tourney he is going to be one of the most talked of players in the finals. He is a freak when it comes to height. He’s up in the air all the time—some six feet, six inches. Otherwise he Is far from being “up In the air.” He is one of the coolest players we have seen. The long hoy Is smart. Don't ever get it Into your heads that he is Just a giant in stature. He is much more than that. He is a real basketball player, aided, of course, by his height which is amazing. We would hazard the opinion that he Is twice as good as he was last year. Physically he has filled out a lot —and he has one more year’s experience behind him.

slugging rookie from the Pacific Coast League, and Mark Koenig, from the American Association, who are to he tried at shortstop and second base.
