VERDICT OF GUILTY FOR PLAYING BALL ON SABBATH DAY Frederick, Dec.

3. Edward Sawyer, a Baltimore boy, shortstop, and Frank Six, this city, center gardener of the Frederick (Blue Ridge) baseball team, were found guilty at a hearing before Alton Y. Bennett, justice of the peace, charged with unlawfully performing labor on the Sabbath. David C. Winebrenner, 3d, Secretary of State, attorney for the traversers, immediately filed an appeal to the Circuit Court.

The trial was the outcome of a game of baseball at McCurdy Field between Hagerstown and Frederick, Sunday, July 24, when the players of both teams and the scorer, Henry Decker, a local newspaper man. were arrested by Sheriff William C. Roderick. At a preliminary hearing the used asked for a jury trial and the players were held in $25 bail for the September term of court. When the first case, that of Sawyer, was taken up, Acting State's Attorney Walter Sinn asked that tne ap peals be dismissed and the cases sent hnk to the Magistrate's Court on the ground that the magistrate had Mrriiisive original Jurisdiction.

Petitions urging a. tourney to staged here have been received rom representatives of the assoda ion'in Boston.

Philadelphia, Pitts rurgh and New Haven. Jones Maintains Perfect Balance OF SuM V. FINISH I By SOL METZGEB To maintain balance one's footwork must be perfect during the drive. Otherwise distance and direction suffer. Take the footwork of Bobby Jones, for example.

Bobby uses a narrow stance, which few can do, but in his case it gives him balance. At stance, Jones and any good golfer rests his weight comfortably on his heels and the balls of the feet. Resting on the heels is not conducive to balance, often Causing one to top. Resting on the balls of the feet causes one to strike back of the ball or overreach it. Odd results follow.

At the top of his swing, Bobby carries his weight, firm on heel and ball of right foot, the inside of the left big toe merely balancing his weight, as the sketch in the upper left hand corner shows. Below this sketch is Bobby at the finish of a drive. Because of his narrow stance and the shift of his hips into the swing, Jones is unable to hold his feet firmly on the ground. He goes up on his toes. In other words, every ounce of his weight is behind the ball at impact.

Those with less narrow stance finish with the left foot braced on the ground. But notice that all of them are facing the hole, the right foot resting on the inside of the big toe. The left leg here carries ihe weight. Does your game need expert attention?

Walter Johnson, now a minor league pilot, will be one of those interested in the problem confronting Ben Pound, promising heavyweight and now. a senior at Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla. Pond, who completes his college course this year, Is trying to decide between a doctor's career as he steps out of college and an effort to succeed Gene Tunney as world's heavyweight champion. Pound interrupted what seemed to be a rapid rise in the pugilistic world to complete his studies. He had slapped down a row of come and go heavies as an amateur and then as a professional had con tinued his streak with something like 11 knockout victories in 12 starts.

Johnson and other members of the major league baseball fraternity became interested in Pound last spring while he was toppling the boys over in and around Tampa, Pound's size, his sledge hammer wallops and his clean cut appearance won him popularity. King Walt was one of his ardent admir ers. "If I only had that wallop of his in my arm," Johnson would sigh, ignoring the wizardry his trusty right has possessed for some 22 years. Pound could and can hit. Referees came to the point where they dis F.

V. Jamison, Hagerstown, Md. carded the routine of counting after Ben had socked his rival. They simply assisted in the rites of carrying the longitudinal fighter to his corner. Pound's last fight, before he re turned to college, was last September, against Soldier Benson, at Miami, Fla.

Pound found him a tough customer but dropped him in the ninth round with what Benson later described as a short length of a steel rail, or a small cannon ball. Properly managed Pound undoubtedly could make more progress financially the first few years by returning to the ring. He has a good education, however, and wants to make a success as a doctor, hence the indecision. The action of the Amateur Athletic Union in depriving De Hart Hubbard, famous Negro athlete, of his somewhat recently established wor'd's record for the broad jump, comes as a blow to Hubbard and his admirers. The union, however, acted within its right" and privi leges so there is no redress.

Hub bard's mark of 26 feet 2 and inches, made at Cincinnati, last September, was disallowed by the Union due to the fact that there was evidence presented that the take off for his jump was an inch higher than the landing pit. Hubbard, however, can find some throwing out of that record finds consolation in the thought that the him still holder of the title as the eld mark of 25 feet, 10 inches was his as well.

3. Central Pennsylvania football followers will be treated to a choice grid morsel this afternoon on New Beaver Field, State College, when the undefeated Mount Carmel and Bellefonte High School elevens clash for the championship of the P. I. A. A.

Fully 10,000 spectators will view the hostilities. Bellefonte High, under the tutelage of Coach Bream, passed through a highly successful season, and was named Western Conference champ over Lock Haven because its escutcheon was free from reverses. The Centre countians have a smooth machine, capable of playing faultless ootball. They have a penchant for deception and their play teems with They play the hidden ball system largely, employing this with vicious off tackle, slants and wide sweeping end runs. Their aerial attack is usually well screened and on a dry field their air game is hard to stop.

They Got It Bellefonte defeated some of the best scholastic elevens in this sec tion. They played the strong Lock Hr.ven aggregation to a scoreless tie and defeated Altoona by a big mar i gin. Altoona dusted off Lock Haven i earlier in the season. So the de cision of the P. I.

A. A. officials in selecting Bellefonte as Western Conference champ seems deserved. Hnsky Mt Carmel Bumping off the Tornadoes from Mount Carmel, however, is another question. Whether Bellefonte can stop the powerful band of coal crackers at State College is a matter of much speculation in this section.

The Mt. Carmel gang of mole skin warriors are a sturdy bunch and they have both the man power ana football knowledge to give any scholastic team quite an interesting session. Kennedy to Manage i Ashevllle, N. Dec. 3.
