WINS FOURTH CHANCE IN MAJORS

Arnold Statz Returns to ‘Big Show’ After Three Trials. B’l \PA Servier _ NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—Sometimes they are plucked for the major baseball leagues before they are ready. Which probably is the case with Arnold John Statz,recently drafted by the Brooklyn Superbas. It will be his fourth big league trial. Statz, it will be recalled, was a 21-year-old phenom with the New York Giants in the spring of 1910. With Holy Cross he attracted the attention of all major league scouts. As frequently is the case, the Giants nut out the biggest bonqs and Statz became a member of McGraw’s champions. Brief Trial In 1920 But McGraw is a manager w ho desires immediate delivery. Statz was not yet ripe for the big show, as, a brief trial in the spring of 1920 convinced McGraw that the Holy Cross youngster was several years away. When the waiver signal was sent out on the collegian, the Red Sox claimed him, but the American leaguers reached the same decision as McGraw, not ready, so the idol of Holy Cross was dropped to the minors. Hits .310 on Coast Statz was placed with Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast League. He played in 101 games in 1920. The following season he finished with an average of .310 for 153 games and stole 52 bases. He again was recommended as big league material. The Chicago Cubs paid the price for Statz. He had three years of it in the National League, but his light hitting again relegated him to the minors. Another trip io Los Angeles for John Arnold—two more years and now he returns to the Brooklyn Superbas via draft. Statz has drawn high praise from Manager Marty Krug of the Angels, who said: "He’s the equal to Tris Speaker as an outfielder. I can say np more.” CONTRACTS Kansas City Blues Await Training Order. Du United Prrex KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 7.—With the mailing of contracts to thirtyone members of the Kansas City Blues’ squad, George Meuhlebach, portly owner of the local entry in the 1927 American Association pennant race, today awaited the opening of spring training at Lake Charles, La.

Alley No. 3 and 4, considered the' “pets” for a good many -of the boys, proved to be tough Sunday and caused the downfall of a number of the cracks. The writer established a record no one can or will want to beat when he drew a split on alley No. 8 on every ball delivered. Open up the crying room. Next Sunday will find the Alley Owners’ Classic at the Central alleys and John Blue asserts he will have a surprise in store for the boys. Hail the new champions, boys!

COACHES GIVE VIEWS ON VIGOROUS TACTICS ‘Hard’ Football and ‘Dirty’ Football Entirely Different — Rockne’s 1924 Statement on Army Recalled.

By Henry L. Farrell, United Preas Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—Charges made by Wyant Hubbard, former Harvard football star, that Princeton plays dirty football caused a number of discussions among football players and coaches in which frequent references were made to the difference between “hard f6otball” and “dirty football.” It seems like a mighty fine line of distinction to draw and even coaches

TURNERS DOWN VISITORS Locals Hand I’rbana Quintet First Defeat of Year. The Egyptian five composed of former University of Illinois players met with their first defeat of the season Sunday afternoon when tlje Turners trounced them, 38-26. The locals led at the half, 16-13. It was one of the fastest and hardest fought games ever witnessed at the Turner gym. i At the start of the second half the former college boys rallied and came within two points of tying the score. The large crowd was in an uproar and Caskey, who was injected into the fray at this point, came through with three buckets in succession. Thatcher played a great defensive game for the locals." McConachle and Benson were l>est for the losers. LACKS FIGHTING SPIRIT Rube Walberg of the Athletics, according to American League ba: ters, has as njuch speed as Lefty Grove when the “Rube” cuts loose and an even better curve ball, but lack of a fighting spirit will keep him from ever being a star.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

—By Ahern

[ have difficulty in explaining to lay- | man just what the difference is lietween hard football and dirty football. ‘ If you were a player ’you would understand," a prominent coach said. "Hard football is using every ounce of strength and every weapon of mechanics permitted by the ethics of sportsmanship and by the provision of the rules. Dirty football is doing tilings that you don’t have to do.” Rockne's Views Three years ago the writer was in South Bend on the Tuesday following the game in New York between the Army and Notre Dame. He was talking with Knute Rockne, the [ Notre Dame coach, before the squad reported for practice. “I don't know what I’m going to do next Saturday,” lie said. “Adam Walsh, my star center, has two broken hands. The two tackles are hurt and the backfield (the four horsemen) is hardly able to walk.” “The Army must have given you a fine beating,” it was suggested to him. | “They surely did,” he replied. “Was it dirty football?” he was asked. N'o Chess Match i Rockne exploded at the question. “Dirty football?” he shouted. “Never! We've all heard stories about dirty football played by the Army, but I think I am as familiar with Army football as any coach in ' the country. The Cadets don’t play dirty football. They play good, clean, bard football and that’s the game, j It's no chess match. I’ll tell you ! why there are occasionally more Injuries against the Army than in other games. , “They are hard youngsters, those Cadets. By hard I mean they are almost physically perfect and are always in condition. They go to West Point as the finest specimens of youth that can be obtained and the strict discipline and the rigor of Army life malffe them like granite. N. D. Lighter "My team was lighter and not as strong and when tackled in the open or taken out of a were taken out hard and when something has to give it is the weaker of the two forces.” , It is said Princeton. Army and Notre Dame play a style of smashing attack that calls for the best of physical condition. It Is the system followed by their coaches that demands a vigorous attack and a desperate defense and when they go against a team that hasn't the same spirit or equal strength injuries are • overestimated.

NEW METHOD OF KILLING PESIS The new process of fumigation of buildings and ridding premises of vermin and insect pasts, which has been adopted by the T. N. T. Exterminating Company, 905 City Trust Bldg., has proven satisfactory in Jevery instance, according to J. V. McMillen, proprietor, and recognized expert fumigating engineer. Clients, who have been served by the new method, have been enthusiastic in their expressions of satisfaction McMillen asserted. "We have found a modern method of killing bedbugs and other vermin, which is certainly effective,” said McMillen. “In order to satisfy ourselves as to the efficacy of the new process, we have made a number of unusually careful tests to show what can be accomplished. Results have been startingly convincing. “We are now using liquid hydrocyanic acid, which Is in a steel container and is forced into a piping system, which carries the atomized gas into the premises to be fumigated. “It cannot be disputed that fumigation is a true economy and our scientific method means reducing the ravages of insect, pests anu rodents. The toll taken by these enemies of mankind runs up into most startling figures, second only in annual losses by fire. So we are taking up the job of fighting the | foes of mankind and contributing to the lessening of the economic burden. “It is better to eradicate vermin in early stages than to check or control them after they are well started. Fumigation should be considered on a basis of repeated applications at more less regular intervals in hotels, boarding houses and other places of public occupancy." McMillen has found the liquid - hydrocyanic acid method applicable j to flour mills, grain elevators, food factories, cereal mills, dwellings, etA., I without injury by absorbtion to the | contents of such places. A report ! by the United States Public Health ! Department also confirms his state- ] ment. POLAR BEAR ICE CM FAVORITE A north side youngster stamped into the hallway of his home recently and breathlessly demanded, “Mother, you’ve got to get some of that Polar Bear ice cream I just saw the truck stop at the drug store.” And mother wondered at first why her son spoke of “polar bear ice cream.” .She went to the drug store, taking son with her, and was en-

It was a Jessup and Antrim Ice Cream Company truck, making a delivery to the drug store. Son was unable to read the bold letters of that company's ice cream product, “Velvet,” painted on the truck, but mother smiled knowingly. She took home a brick of the delicious ice cream. She knows now what brand of ice cream son wants when he asks for “polar bear ice cream.” The Jessup & Antrim Ice cream Company. 713 N. Illinois St., makes Velvet brick ice cream as well .as Velvet bulk- ice cream, and throughout the winter there is a steady demand for ice cream. Its delicious flavor appeals almost universally, old and young enjoying the taste of it. The company’s ice cream has become recognized, because of its highgrade qualities.

GOGOL EXPLAINS SPEECH DEFECTS One of the mysterious things in connection with the speech of human beings is that there exists a disturbance of speech for which apparently there is no anatomical or physioiologieal basis. This peculiar affection is rarely uniform in its expression, the manner of which may change within a few hours. This disturbance of speech is commonly known as stammering or stuttering. The conditions under which people experience the most difficulty seem to vary greatly. A condition that may he favorable to one is unfavorable to another. The trouble is never manifested in two persons in exactly the same form. • In his book entitled “The Normal Mind” Prof. William 11. Burnham, Clark University, says: * “It is usually easy for stutterers to talk to children or animals. The thought that his observer is unacquainted with his difficulty Is also helpful to the stutterer. Nearly all stutterers are able to speak or read without stuttering when alone. Many stutter in conversation, but do not stutter in public speaking.” Benjamin N. Bogue, head of the Bogue Institute for Stammerers, in writing of the same speech difficulty under the term of stammering, indicates that big experience throutfliout twenty-five years has convinced him of the extreme variability of this affliction. He calls attention to the fact that “one person will rarely ever stammer when talking to members of his own family or immediate friends, hut will stammer while talking to strangers. The same person may even stammer more when discussing some business transaction, or when he is greatly interested in what he is talking about. In fact, so diverse are these manifestations of stammering that it may justly be said that each case presents the uniqueness of a case by itself.”
