SILENCE NOT A VfRTU Silence Isn't a virtue; It's erally a vice. Silence may mean deep waters, but It may also mea the reverse. Some people may coo. ' ceal their thoughts by silence; 0m may have none to utter, it m8 , show scarcity of bruin, not pro. ; fundity. NOWADAYS you hear overmuch thing called form. Having become more than omewhat bulky In those spots where It can do the most harm to a golf stroke, I have ceased bothering about the thing myself, but It seems to have perturbed numerous read-ers. Scarcely a day passes without letters from some of them Inquiring where they can learn to become div-ing girls (or boys, as the case may be) In six easy lessons. Frankly, I have been unable to answer, because after Interviewing numerous leading exponents of form I still do not know what the darned thing is. All that I can make out of the answers Is that It 1 dolne things gracefully, accord- - V y I Inj? to the accepted pattern, looking pretty as a picture. Naturally such an answer would be disheartening to the average man or woman. All of us do not have the bodies of Greek gods or the superb poise of a Lynn Fontanne. So, If we paid real attention to these replies of the masters, w might be too keenly aware of our lack of physical equipment, and thus give up before we reach the first tee. That would be a mistake. You can do it wrong but you can suc-ceed. History was proving that In other ways long before the modern sports era began. When they wers fighting the Civil war it was the mode to Imitate Na-poleon. Many generals did well at it, but the man who got the verdict at the finish was U. 8. Grant He disliked reading about the Emper-or, and his campaigns weVe vastly different from those which Europe had hailed as being In the very best style. But that did not keep him from trouncing the Imitators of fashions. It has been the same In sports. Al Simmons and that queer batting ti'lA rt Yta rinvA He Ran World's Fair; Now He Will Run NBC MaJ.

Violets in 1929 Were 2nd Fiddle to Schoolboys THINGS you ought to know the game called basket-ball: The New York university-Baltimor- e university contest of 1 929, which took place at Arcadia hall, Baltimore, was played preliminary to a high school tussle. Carleton college went through a winning streak of 64 consecutive home games, losing to Cornell, of Iowa, in 1935, by a score of 33 to 28. City college has used the same scorer and timekeeper for the last 13 years. In basketball play among the pri-vate schools of Massachusetts in 1910, euch foul committed counted as a point toward the opponent's score, besides giving the foul shoot-er an opportunity of shooting for a one pointer from the free throw line. Five fouls disqualified a player. At the Olympic games of 1020, which were hold at Antwerp, two teams of the Scandinavian coun-tries participated In a game that had 12 players on each side, com-posed equally of men and women. Notre Dame participated In 48 scheduled contests during the sea-son 1008-Oft- . So strong and hardy were the six Michigan university passers of 1929 they went through the entire sea-son with no other aid, earning the title of "iron men." Walter "Whitey" Budrunas, Mar-quett- e university center, scored nine points In 61 seconds against Grinnell college, of Iowa . . . 1931. The Friends school of Philadel-phia, and Temple university, en-gaged In a 3 to 1 contest, each team us:nj seven players on a side . . . 1809. In the e contest of 19.'!U31. not a penalty was meted out nntll 30 minutes of play had been written of too much to mention now. Yet, It still seems strange to me that the ex-perts should have been so deceived. Those who, years previously, bad seen an awkward, bowlegged man iiprfornilnir In thn y t Pittsburgh Infield Simmons. should certainly have known better. At the start, this awkward, bowlegged man seemed to embody all the tenets of what not to do. That was at the start. Since then many competent observers have declared that Hans Wagner was the greatest ball play-er who ever lived. Then there was another powerful fellow who played golf. He lurched at the ball, he was off balance, he did a few other things wrong (or so the stylists said) each time he elected president of the National Broadcasting company, succeeding Merlin II. Aylesworth, who asked to be relieved of his duties. went around a course. His name was Ted Ray. He won the British open championship In 1912 and the American open eight years later, a feat that few of the e golfers ever accomplished. Grch Did Everything Wrong, But Won Fights There also was Harry Greb. Few fighters ever have performed In as unorthodox fashion as did this lad who won the middleweight cham-pionship of the world, was seldom out of the class and more often than not was called upon to defeat opponents who outweighed him from 10 to 50 pounds. He never was a puncher, able to end a fight with one devastating blow, as was another ring marvel and ring freak named Bob Fitzsim-mon- s. Largely Greb won because his only claim to fame was that he lacked all form. He swarmed all over opponents who, trained In ac-cepted modes, were bewildered be-cause he did not fight their way. I saw him one night probably It was the time when he beat Gene Tun-ne- y slapping, wrestling, hauling, doing everything wrong. Time after time he started punches with his left, shifted in mid air and landed with his right Instead. To lead with your right is to disregard one of the strictest canons of the ring. When you do that joti lay yourself open to a knockout, and I am not advising any one to try It. Yet, Greb did it that night, as upon manv other oc-- Baskethall on Skates Was Garden Novelty A basketball tournament on skates was held at Madison Square Gar-den during the months of July and August, 1906. The referees were not permitted to call any fouls. The Victoria Dominoes, Cana-dian Independent champions, and the Seattle Knights of Columbus, engaged In four extra overtime' pe-riods without breaking the tie score. The players became exhaust-ed and quit for the evening . . . 1935. ISecnuse of a scoring dispute In the final elementary school cham-pionship game of 1912, between public schools 62 and C4, Manhat-tan, the teams engaged In an addi-tional contest which lasted exactlj 22 seconds. The first quintet to score was awarded the city crown. The Knstern Intercollegiate P.as-kettia- ll league was the first organ-ization to employ seven persons as officials to supervise the activities of 10 players. There were two scorers, two timekeepers, two um-pires and a referee. Brooklyn college trailed Manhat-tan college, 114, at the end of the first period, yet romped off with the contest by a majority of seven points . . . 1929. THINGS the box office forgot to The matrimonial dockers are whispering that Alfred Cwynne Vanderbilt did not establish a res-idence in California merely because he wished to be close to Discovery, his entry in fie $100,000 Santa An-ita handicap. Instead, their In-formation is that the youthful heir soon will gallop to the altar with the daughter of a western railroad magnate and . . . But since this Is really not a tipping bureau the Huntington clan can print Its own announcements. Even if the New York state ath-letic commissioners should become so dar'ng as to meddle with the plans of the William Randolph Hearst A. C, It Is unlikely that they could oblige their Cuban fel-lows by punishing anybody for that recent Havana fiasco. That Is because the blighted Gastanaga-Lou'- s venture was promoted by Mike Jacobs, who holds no boxing license of any kind In New York. When Mil;e and the W. It. II. A.

"Yeah," he said. "But I won, didn't I?" It was not a question; It was a statement If it had been a ques-tion, I could not have answered it. Neither could I answer it now. I agree with those readers who write in to discover where to find It that form must be very nice, but Somehow I cannot forget all those lads who did It wrong and went home with the title Just the same, MORE things told: the box score Brooklyn fans continue to protest vehemently because of rumors that the National league president Is in- -! slsting upon thrusting Cleveland's discarded business manager Into their affairs. They argue, and for once it might be advisable for the Brooklyn owners to take note of the customers' objections, that the American league should take care of its own problems.
