June 8. If there is an lota of doubt in the mind of Paollno about his ability to whip Max Schmeling in the big battle at Yankee Stadium on June 27 he has failed to show it. He seems to take everything for granted that he will win. He fairly exudes his confidence. In his talks' here he frequently alludes to to "the other fight with Sharkey in September." He seems to think the Sharkey fight is a surety.

Only this morning he queried of Manager Arthus: "When I start training for Sharkey do you think lt is best to come back here or go to Luther's? I like this camp best.

Recent develop ments In the.cases of Jim Elliott and Del Bissonette. two of the several ailing Dodgers, are not encouraging. They have been under treatment for several weeks, but have tailed to shew marked progress.

Bissonette, who is laid up in Brooklyn with sinus trouble, has been advised to go to the mountains for two or three weeks. Elliott's illness is more serious than Bissonette's and the left handed pitcher may soon be sent to Ex celsior Springs. for turther treatment. Last" Winter Elliott was laid up with intestinal flu and had not recovered when he reported for Spring training. Jim's stomach has been out of order ever since his Winter illness and he is gradually losing weight.

Bissonette may be able to play again this year, but it is doubtful it Elliott will be or any use to tne team during the remainder of the season. Del has had two or three operations performed on his nose in recent weeks. Jazzy vance, wno re joined the team here yesterday. brought word that Dels condition is not satisfactory and that a sojourn In mountain air is needed to restore his health. Before Bissonette was removed from the game he was struck on tho head by a ball pitched by Lester Sweetland of the Phillies.

"Paollno says he is stronger and more rugged than Schmelling," answered Gregorio, after chattering away volubly In the Basque patois with the Woodchopper for several minutes. "He says Schmeling has yet to beat a good man. He says Schmeling's style is made to order for him while the German will una Paolino a puzzle. He says Schmeling will not hit him five clean punches on the jaw and that any punches Schmeling does land will not hurt him. "Paolino thinks that Schmeling makes a big mistake in weaving and bobbing.

Paolino says weaving and bobbing is fine for a fighter who hooks like Dempsey, but that Schmeling Is a straight puncher and that bobbing and weaving only is a wasto of effort and energy. A hook er can hit while bobbing and weaving. A straight puncher like Schmeling must stop to shoot his punches. He cannot shoot on the wing like a hooker."

What makes the great athlete great? That question has stymied some of the larger intellects since time without memory, yet it is so ele mentary that It ought to be in Mc Guffey's Third Reader with the following: (Q) What do you see (A) A horse. (Q) Will the horse kick the lady? (A) The horse is an intelligent animal. Nobody with ln- tellieence ever kicks a lady. It is simpler to shoot her. It might be added that nobody with or without intelligence seems able to answer the original ques tion intelligently.

Pressed for an answer, the great one attributes his success to clean living and plenty of it, to study and application, to the fact that he Is kind to his mother and to any and all of the obvious responses that go Into the making or a set of banal ideas. And they miss the most obvious and plausible an swer of all; namely, Instinct, Dempeey As 1 -a ample Somebody asked Jack Dempsey, a great natural puncher to illus trate his right and left hook one day this Spring when he was work ing out in McGovern's. He obligingly complied or, at least, he thought he did. The method actual ly Illustrated was How Not to Punch Dempsey apparently had no idea of form while practicing on tnin air. But if you placed a chin in front of him.

he would have hit it perfect ly. His instinct would have guided the punch, where previously his reason failed. Ruth probably has no notion to what goes Into the swing that propels the ball into distant horizons. I doubt if Gehrig has, either. They simply know how to swing in order to get the maximum of results, without knowing why they are able to do lt.

Instinct, again. Keeler and McGraw and Hall Chase probably were more technical about the why and wherefore of the matter but Nature originally made them good place hitters and any studying on the subject of cause and effect merely made them better. In fact, I doubt whether the most studious of technicians could become even a fair hitter without the necessary co-ordination of eyes and muscle, which after all means Instinct. Golf And Tennis Golf and tennis are much more precise propositions, requiring Intensive analysis and application of strokes. Therefore, you may assume that Bill Tllden can tell you in some intimacy of detail just what makes a good and bad stroke in tennis.

Jones probably can do the same in golf, although there are plenty of good golfers who are said to be unable to give you a lucid analysis of details concerned with their stroking, and it is fact, not fancy, that every good one advocates something a trifle different from the others In trying to straighten out your game. However, it is the personal-contact sports that, of necessity, give instinct it freest rein. Grange couldn't have told you what he was going to do in the open field because he did it before he had a chance to think about it; so did Thorpe. If they had stopped to think the play out, they would have been too late to make it. That's pure instinct.

The coaches recognize this quality and appreciate it duly and thankfully, only they don't call it instinct. They refer to it as "football sense." Many a man never gets it because, largely, it can't be acquired. Many a man has it and doesn't realize that he Is a favorite of the gods. He thinks everybody is so endowed and. proceeding on this theory, he finds that he can't teach others.

Why? Because neither he nor any man can teach Instinct. He can't even hope to illustrate it, as Dempsey so effectually proved. I Inter-City League Sunday's Schedule TJirksville at Duryea Prumetskl. Sportland at Warrior Run Gibbons. Brookside at Port Bokley Mc-Culloch.

BREEZY FEATURES DAILY IN THE EVENING NEWS Luzerne County's Most Progressive And Up-To-Dats Newspaper ball thin they've Just excavated in "Big Ten" dries? You know what happened, don't you-? No? Well, a gent named Paul Belting was athletlo director for Quite a spell at the University of Iowa.ahlch was part and parcel of the $viestern conference. For one reason, or maybe it was another, the alumni at Iowa ceased to fancy Belting and yodeled "raus mit him." Belting stood It as Ion? as he could. Then he resigned.

After that all reports, it seems that Belt- ing wem oeicning 10 som 01 mo conference authorities and yelled something about Iowa being a naughty place where tney maintained a "slush fund" for the purpose of having Iowa's campus cluttered up with young men who could play football very well Indeed. Those who know their football in this era assume that the conference geezers, after listening to Belting, would merely yawn and say something like this: "And Iowa, too, eh, Brutus?" But the conference gents suspended Iowa and then, ah, then, dear radio fanettes and others, things began to transpire, to a perspiring point indeed! "Why was Iowa suspended?" "Who is guilty?" "What are the peclfic charges?" "Will all guilty turns be suspended?" "Will they be punished?" Questions like that, one thousand or so of vivid variety were flung at the conference board. After wuich the board' the attitude that it was one of the public's business, and that was as far as It went. The board would not reveal the names of the culprits. It would not bj whether the subsidizing was done t.i alumni, the faculty, or both.

After the suspension was made there was consternation within the "Big Ten" ranks.

The story rippled around that certain lolka connected with the "Big Ten" demanded that the susienslon be lifted, for fear that Iowa might get fretful and begin talking in what might be called rebuttal. "And how Iowa could talk!" Insist some folks close to "Big Ten" affairs, those affairs de football that nice, polite college folks simply do not discuss, tor newspaper publication. Iowa may decide to talk. But that's unlikely. Chances are that the "Big Ten" leaders, lo save the conference from possible wreckage, will absolve Iowa in some fashion or either, extend apologies, and lift the suspension.

But no matter what eventually takes plaee, the entire mess gives off a foul odor and bolsters up the conclusion of some that only simon-pure amateurs are yet unborn!

A group of possible trades are to be put up to the owners of other clubs and it Is believed that something will develop before the 15th oi' the month.

As at present made up the Reds lack the punch, and players with (he drive are in big demand. The Reds have pitchers who could be used by some of their rivals and any deals Cincinnati may swing will be through their pitching talent. President Heydler stops off today at Redland on his way to St. Louis, where he will present $1,000 to Sunny Jim Bottomley of the St. Louis team as a reward for his work last season, baseball judges having decided that the beaming face and the busting bat of the Card first baseman did most for the team's success.

Some who claim to know the temper of the club owners say that It will be the last award of its kind in the National League, which probably will follow the step of the Junior organization in abolishing the annual award of merit to--the most valuable player to his team. These awards have been used as a club to be applied to the heads of owners who don't fatten the contract to suit the player. Shordel Old Fashioned Will Sherdel Is described 'by an admirer of the St. Louis southpaw as "one of those old-fashioned Ditchers who likes to win games for the sake of winning." Sherdel has been having only fair success this season and on two recent occasions the Pirates nicked him for a pair of games. Angry, Sherdel asked for a chance to show against the Dodgers to improve nis pitching record.

Billy Southworth listened to Sher del on Monday, but wanted to re serve the southpaw for a shot at the Giants, and nominated Svl Johnson. his lion-hearted right hander. to work. Johnson was bumped hard in the fourth and Sherdel rushed ud to Southworth and said he was ready to go to the mound and stop the Dodgers. He won his point and also his game, which was his fifth victory of the season against three defeats.

not so impressive for a hurler who rolled up twenty-one victories last season. It was always like that with Sherdel. Branch Rickey used to use Sherdel as a mopper up because he was so willlnpr to take the worst situations that came up. In the hectic fight for the flag last season Sherdel would nominate himself for its tough spots. Players recalled In discussing this feature of Sherdel's work that at Boston last September only one more victory was needed by the Cards to win the pennant.

Sherdel won the honor of mtchin ns sajiip, nvp.c other flingers, "I'm afraid to let anv one else pitch this battle." Sherdel told Bill McKechnie, then managing the Cards. "I'll pitch this game and win it, and I'll also blank tlw Braves." The players taid: "Go to it. Will; win that flag for us." Sherdel went lo the mound and kept the Boston team runless during the game. He heard that the Giants lost, but insisted upon verification from the press box before he would ease up.

Billy Pay, ten years old. sowed a baseball en the neighbor's lawn last week. Today he reaped the harvest, 1 3 baseballs, all autographed by Babe Ruth-. Billy and his boy friends were playing one-o-cat in the alley, and some one laid a home run out of bounds. TJie neighbor into whose new garden the ball felt, refused to surrender- it and the whole thing finally was threshed out In court.

The court held it perfectly proper for Billy to retrieve the, ball. Babe Ruth heard of it and sent the dozen balls. Billy distributed them among members of his team re' la rs and subs. Broderiok will depend on Leo Mar- for a win and that Martin IS in good shape is evidenced by his one I. game over the Flrwooa nine last week.
