Legion Baseball Try outs fit Fairgrounds Monday SPORTS COLOrN Photo Bert Weber, who prefers jumping with one shoe off and one on, cleared the bar at 5 feet 10 Inches to tie the 2-1-year-old Beatrice high school mark set by Howard Roland In 1924. Records Tumble In Southeast Lincoln, Cop Title Bert Weber Reminds Of An Old Ditty WATCHING BERT WEBER, who tied the 24-year-old Beatrice high school high jump record at 5 feet 10 inches, reminded me of a very old ditty. It goes like this: Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John, went to bed with his stock- Ings on. One shoe off. One shoe on.

Diddle, diddle dumpling, my son John. You see, Bert does his jumping with just one track shoe -M5n his left foot. HIS THEORY: Since he makes his take-off on one a shoe on the other foot is just extra baggage. And, judging from his results, he's really got something there. In events athletes frequently try new wrinkles to gain extra umph.

Not bad idea when fractions of inches count. EVERY SILVER lining has its cloud. In talking to coaches at the Southeast track meet, this fact became grimly. evident. You start by referring'to the wonderful performance of some young athlete.

Then, together, recall some of his achievements of the past season. But, finally, the "coach remembers sadly that his young protege is graduating this year. Junior Legion baseball gets underway this week with opening tryouts called for 5:30 p. m. tomorrow (Monday) at the Fairgrounds.

Conway Yount, Beatrice junior legion baseball manager, invited all boys in this area to report for practice. Several who played on last year's team have already started limbering up. Any boy born after January 1, 1931 is eligible, Yount reminded. The American Legion and Henclcr- son's Motor company is providing all equipment except shoes and gloves. Even those who are out for track are urged to attend the Monday night meeting.

"They will be excused from practice Until the track season is over. But we'd like them to report at this opening session," Yount said. Decoration May 81, has been set for the opening game which will be played under lights at Athletic park. The Beatrice Juniors will tangle with Lincoln's Blues of Lincoln high school in a non-league game. It promises to be a gala occasion.

The grade school relay and Hobe Jones of Lincoln running the 880, judging from spectator response, were highlights in the Southeast meet. This may seem anomalous, but viewed in "the kaleidoscope human emotions, not surprising.

Jones, who celebrated his 17th birthday yesterday, more firmly convinced track followers he will set a new state record in Linofiln this week. His 1:58.6 clocking here Friday night was just slightly over his time in the meet a week ago. Don Neihart, Crete's class champion, chased Jones in the record half mile, coming in at 2:01.3, also faster than the old Dodds mark. i The bespectacled junior who always steps out on a fast first quarter is even being talked as a strong contender for the national prep title.
