Who said these modern youths are not Improving a little with each generation? For example, let one consider ath letics. Back In 1910. there were some huskies, some of them not so big physically, but they were all blg h carted. There was a track and field meet with all Eastern Orcwon com peting. And 15 records were made In la events. Hot bad! Now, 21 years later, only two of : those records remain In competition. and one, the relay mark, has been equalled. The 50-yard dash and the ! hummer throw are no longer on the ! program, but the other 13 records havo faded by the wayside with the I exception of Dr. William Pehros 2:02 "J in the half mile and tho relay mark of 1:35 flat. Each year Dr. Peore. ' now timing the runners instead of I leading opponents, gives a handsome j trophy to the man who wins the j Eastern Oregon half mile. Each year ho thinks that possibly his old rec- ' ord will be replaced. But so far: each year lias passed with that 2:02 j Dccoming a little mora sacred and sctmingly a little more secure. Flser Lasts 21 Years There was a boy named Flscr, down in Ontario, in 1910. He was one of the mightiest of them all. Saturday morning. May 2. 1931. this lad of another generation held two Eastern Oregon records, both 21 years old. One was 11 feet 3 inches in the pole vault, and the other was 16 1-10 sec cuds In the high hurdles. Saturday evening, riser's records were chalked off and new ones writ ten by Prahl. Ontario polt vaulter. and Fred Nowland. crack La Grande j timber topper. j Prahl and Nowland dldnt do things by halfway measures either. Prahl j Went five inches higher than Ftser, and Nowland cut Fiser's hurdling j time seven-tenths of a second. Now-! laud, not content, about an hour ; later lowered Sherwood's 27-flat time j in tho low hurdles to 35.6 seconds. Wllhe Torre nee and Corwyn Beery, j both of La Grande, turned in new J marks in the broad jump and the 220-yard dash, respectively. Those 1!U0 Marks Now for a comparison: Here are the marks made In 1910 in 13 of the 14 events that make up i today's track meet- (No Javelin! throw was made in 1910): j 100-yard dash: Carpy, La Grande. ' 10 1-5 seconds. i 220-yard dash: Brunough, Baker. 23 seconds. j 440-yard dash: Peare, La Grande. ; 55 1-5 seconds. i Half mile: Peare. La Grande, 2:02 (new Northwest record). J Mile: Boy leu, Pendleton. 5:10. j 220-ynrd low hurdles; Richards, Cove. 27 1-5 seconds. ; 120-yard high hurdles: Fiser, On-1 taric. 16 1-5 seconds. Broad Jump: Fiser. Ontario 20 j feet 7 inches, High Jump: Fee and Kimball, of; Pendleton, each 5 feet 6 Inches. Shot put: Jones, of Baker. 46 f eet i 1 inch (new Northwest record). - -j Discus: Beers. Baker.

Now for comparison: Winning marks last Saturday were: 100-yard dash: Beery. La Grande. 10 1-5 seconds (same as 1910). j ?A-yrd dash: Beery. La Grande. seconds (with starting blocks ' Quarter mile: Hulford. Mac-Hi. ' 55 5 seconds (slower than 1910). Halt mile: Wagner. Helix. 2:10 4-5 seconds .slower than 1910.. M:!e: Wagner. Helix. 4:51 3-10 sec- . endst much faster than 19101. 120-yard hich hurdles: Nowland. La Grande, 155 seconds (faster than. 1910 k 220-yard low hurdles: Nowland. La vi ; a:;ui, 40.0 scwuua artr (luut , i9ioi. ; Shottput: Kidder, Pendleton. 40 feet 7-j inches (less than 1910). i Pole vault: Prahl. Ontario. 11 feet , S inches thicher than 1910). j Broad lump: Tcrreace. La Grande.; 21 feet 7 inches v 12 inches farther thai. 1910.. Discus: Baker. Ontario. 118 feet 5 inches i nearly 7 feet farther thxn ; 1910). High Jump: Terrencc and Now- i land. La Grande, 5 feet 9 Inches (3S inches higher than 1910.. j Relay: won 6y La Grande. 1:32 (over 3 seconds slower than in 1910). j Checking them over, of 13 events, I cat was ihe same, eight were better than those record -breakers of 1910, i but fotu were slower. Which doesnt prove a thing, ex cept that bo;h the 1910 aiid 131 Kaex meets were worth anybody's money to watch. Saturday's meet started something rJe a mcrt-enent that scene hooe may develop to a point where the 1 intern Oregon meet becocnes a per- j msnect La Grande event. Bsiireea now and next year the pros and the cors undoubtedly will have, a ' lot to soy. Freberg Defeats Charley Hanson SEATTLE. Wash.. May 5 LJohn " Trefcuri;.

I suppose a part of this is because moat players go into the game with the memory and habit of making baseball swings.. Subconsciously the average player, if he Is slicing or connecting with the heel of his club, feels he should stand farther away from the ball to correct the tendency. Actually he should stand closer to the bull. The upright swing pro vides more control and consequent accuracy for these shots. I should say nine out of ten play ens would gain, better results by standing at least an Inch or two closer. On the tee another common fault is to spread the legs too far apart. The main thing is to have an easy balance for the backs wing and follow-through. It should be remem SIAM'S ROYALTY RECEIVED AT EXECUTIVE MANSION aJ iLtnM The cood will of the V.

My early teacher, Tom Kerrigan, once told me: "One of the most difficult things to teach Is to retain a .firm grip with the fingers and still keep re laxed or flexible wrists. The golfer who grips his club firmly usually stiffens his wrists too. Or. if he thinks about keeping flexible wrists he falls to grip the club firm enough." On iron play, if I were to pas3 along advice for the early stages of the season. I would suggest that a player take his mashie and midiron cut alone for a brisk workout. A half hour spent with these two clubs in practice will pay dividends. Most players, when they pick up again after the winter, go away off the line with their irons. By taking the two clubs I suggest a chance is sffnrriM. to -nrk out the kinks in two vital features of iron play namely, tho accuracy of long and short shots. It will ce found that the other clubs also will handla easier ond with more confidence.

Sport Slants I 4 & Bv Alan J. Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) Whether the Spanish situation has had anything to do with It or not, the heme run kings of baseball have run Into a flock of early trouble. Tho Injury to Babe Ruth, coming at a time when the Big Bam was off at in unusuallv hot pace with his big stick, caps the climax of troubles j lor the .1930 monarens oi maui. From the outset. Hack Wilson, who took the major league crown away from Ruth last season, has had trouble adjusting his batting sights i to the new ball and the outer bar- riers. mere nas oeen some mia. ; Hack, a sensitive soul, has not taken ) any too,klndly to the Hornsby Tirana of leadership, but it is more reason able to future the Cub clouter merely caught himself in a slump and began ! to worry about it. t Joe Hauser. who led them all last year by banging out 63 homers for the Baltimore Orioles of the Inter national league, likewise has been be set by the Jinx hovering over the' big bats of baseball. Joe strained a ligament before the start of the sea sen and was forced out of the lineup. Nick Cullop. who hit 54 homers in the American association in 1930 and Mickey Heath, who collected 37 In the Pacific coast league, so far have failed to strike much fear into Na- j ticnal league' pitching ranks, al-j though they figure to give the Cin- ( clnnati Reds some much needed punch. Larry Bettencourt, who led the Texas league In homers with 43 last year, has not rounded into good enough shape to hold down a regular post yet with the St. Louis Browns. YANKS MISS BABE Only a few days before Ruth was fleered for the count in Boston this department's operative turned in a report indicating the Babe was in prime condition and spirits for a big year. The Bambino's injury is a parti cularly tough break, striking simul taneous blows at his ambitions of a record home run year, the early dash of the Yankees and the gate receipts. The Yankees have had some super lative pitching, but the Babe's big stick has been accounting for many of the winning margins. He was hit ting at an even .400 clip when he was hurt, and his three home runs represented a better April start than the- year he set the major league j mars on ao. i t j i i i v j When Ruth" is out of the lineup, the customers do not turn ou; with the same enthusiasm. If at all. The zancecs nave never maae a policy oi revealing the figures, but I would figure a drop of anywhere from 25 to 0 per cent in the attendance with the Babe absent. The falling off useiy is mere noiiceaoie in itew York than cn the road. RABBIT YEKY SPRY On the same day that the 37-year-old Ruth was being lugged from Fenway Park.
