ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN Weissmuller Smashes National Mark for 220-Yard Swim in Meet. By Clark B. Kelsey United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April B.—Another National A. A. U. record went by the board here Thursday night as Johnny Weissmuller, star of many an aquatic meet, avenged himself on George Kojac, 17-year-old New York school boy. and won the 220yard free style swim in 2:10 4-5. In smashing the old record of 2:14 4-5, which he himself made at the conference last year, the I. A. C. star led Kojac, who finished second, |jy 15 feet. Kopac Wednesday defeated Weissmuller and other veteran swimmers and set anew world's record in the 500-yard back stroke swim. The Illinois A. C. and Brooklyn Central Y. M. C. A. now stand tied with 22 points in the championship standings. Other entries rate as follows: Chicago A. A., 13; New York A. c„ 11; Boys’ Club, 8; Ambassador Club, Los Angeles, 5: Los Angeles A. C., 3; Erie, Pa,, Y. M. C. A., 3; Indianapolis A. C., 1; Penn A. C., Philadelphia. 1: Northwestern University, 1. The final championships were to be held today.

BUCCANEERS SELECTED BY CRITIC TO WIN PENNANT Farrell Believes Qwnie Bush s Team Strongest in Loop —Cardinals Put in Runner-up Position.

By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April B.—There is no law against calling the order in which the National League teams will finish and there is nothing at stake but the prophet's reputation, so here goes: 1, Pittsburgh Pirates: 2, St. Louis Cardinals; 3, Cincinnati Reds; 4. New York Giants; 5, Chicago Cubs; 6, Brooklyn Robins; 7. Boston Braves; 8, Philadelphia Phillies. The mob shouting “you’re all wet” forms on the right. Picking the exact position in which a team will finish' can be done and has been done frequently, but it is largely a matter of guess work. Study of pitching, batting and fielding form, consideration of the policy of managers, the ternperamcr r of players and the peculiarities the schedule will give a good line OB the comparative class of the teems. There is no way, however, to foresee the injuries and bad breaks that can come overnight and reduce a pennant contending team to the second division. Even before the season has started that has been demonstrated in the case of the New York Giants which were favorites on the "winter boqks” and were most highly regarded until accidents began to happen. It is not customary to throw down a pennant winner and a world

Crimson Baseball Squad Returns From Training Trip in South. r ' BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April B. Indiana University’s baseball team was scheduled to return home from the southern training trip today. The hot sun should have baked the kinks from the pitching arms and prepared the players for the first home game, with De Pauw, here next Tuesday. Coach Dean found his hurling staff rather weak while in Dixie. The other positions appear to be well supplied with good material. The hurling outfit lacks experience. Vojtech saw action Jast spring, but the other members are twirling their first Big Ten baseball. Coach Dean has five dependable infielders, a. pair of the fastest ouf fielders in the Conference and a like number of excellent catchers. It the pitching department was only half as strong ns the other positions Indiana could make a good fight for Conference honors. The two catch ers, Burke Bucher, possess good throwing arms and are capable receivers. Con ell, Tobin and Davis are veteran fielders, while Harrell and Wells are ularing their first ball with the cKon. Both, however, tavc shown unusual talent as sophomores. Ray and Derr were heavy swingers and fast, outfielders last Reason- Barlow, the other member of the garden trio, has shown good work in pinches. Baseball continues to be a popular sport at Indiana University. Coach Dean gave the Iloosiers their flist Big Ten championship two years ago. and since that time the diamond game has grown in attendance. '

championship club, but the Pittsburgh Pirates look stronger than the St. Louis Cardinals. It wasn’t luck alone that won the dinals had less bad luck than any of the contending teams. The Giants were wrecked by injuries and the Cincinnati Reds were badly handicapped by the loss of Bressler in the most important part of the championship race. The Reds are nominated f*r third place on their pitching staff and it is not likely they will land higher because the players hardly can be expected to hit as they did last year and regardless of statements made to the contrary, the team is bound to nniss Eddie Roush. The Giants are a hard team to place. If McGraw had Ross Young in the outfield and Travis Jackson at shortstop for the start of the season, the club would have the appearance of a pennant winner, but Young is gone for good and it may be months before Jackson will be able to p!ajf a hard game. The pitching and catching staffs also could be Improved. The Cubs are ranked below the Giants, although they finished in the first division ahead of the Giants last year. Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia may not finish in the order named, but it is not lo be expected that any of them will finish higher than sixth place.

Secrets/16 Years X Successful Pitching 3' BY GROVER. ©**** *4. Veteran Pitcher of World's Champions ——

LL pitchers are not born alike. That is, nature does not give ___J them arms that will throw everything under the sun. Unless nature has been unusually generous, as in my case, my advice is to work with a fast ball, a curve, add a slow twister and then go out to

master control. That's enough to become a major leaguer. Don't forget control, however. My assortment consists of a fast ball, a curve, a screwball, a knuckler, side arm and overhand. I have never over- taxed m y muscles with anything I throw.

It is putting the ball where you aim. Keep it away from the groove of the hitter and, I assure you more than half of your battle has been won. Slow Ball Essential A sl&w ball is essential.
