MY dear, you surely don't mtan to tell me you only paid $6
lor those stylish looting shoes! I just can't believe It.
And are they really so comfortable?"
"The most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They fit perfectly. I
bought three of the sweetest models I've ever owned two at
$5, one at $6 three pairs for less than I used to pay for one."

Ho hum! 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.

Now for comparison:

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.

NO. 6 SHORT IKON PLAY
One of the commonest faults of
the ordinary golfer Is to stand too
far away from the ball, especially in
making short iron shots.
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

bered that the idea is to hit with
the club-head, not with the body.
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.

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.

Hack, a sensitive soul, has not taken )

of leadership, but it is more reason

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.

The stadium was crammed to its
