"He's Not a Swede AY ITHOUT making any comment YY as to his preference between 4 "Swede" and Jim, Oberlander said someone tacked the nam, on him probably because he looked like a Swede, he la a striking blond, or else the name created the Impression. As a matter of fact there Is no Swedish blood coursing through Oberlander's veins. He Is Just a plain New Englander, an honest to God Yankee. During his college career at Dartmouth, Oberlander, to the world at large, was known as "Swede," the i snort writers belne: ouick to take up lift nickname after someone had so him. wjk However, to the student body and coaches he was Just plain Jim Ober lander.

When Bill looks over hi present material he probably will do a lot of wishing for tha return of the ffla. days, when he had so many good pitchers It was hard for him to make his selection, see His Pet Theory of Carrlgan's pet theories Jrelafive to pitchers, was they never should be permitted to argue 'with the umpires.

Whenever a Boston wirier started to take Issue with a ruling on balls and strikes, Carrigan always agreed with th umpire while the pitcher was within hearing. "It you aver missed on In your life, you kicked that one," might his shot to th umpire a moment later. Carrigan always contended that no pitcher could do hla stuff and umpire at the same time.

Alter' Deing appointed as an assistant to Coach Wllce at Ohio State, he was Invited to attend the confer ence of coaches, which Is an annual event of the football mentors short ly after the season closes.

Knute Rockne of Notre Dame and Major Cavanaugh of Boston College are two of th veteran cutup who have much fun at the expense of tho new recruits to th coaching game.

Then they both laughed and walked away.

It waa known that Owner Phil Ball waa dlasatlaOed with the way the club had been managed, which meantyth dropping of Slsjer. The passing of Collins, however, was a distinct surprise.

Among the contestants la Reggie McNamara, who hua won ten big races', and finished second and third In countless others. I believe "Mac" haa competed in nearly fifty long grinds altogether.

Reggie came from Australia, which far off country has furnished so many great athletes in all lines of sport, but ho la a naturalized American citizen. Some years ago McNamara sustained a fractured skull while training for a six day race In Boston, but a little matter like that did not prevent him from competing a few weeks later. The first of these Merry go rounds" was held in New York in 1891. In those daya the riders had to go it alone for 142 hours, resting whenever nature compelled them to. It was about this time that tho modern or "safety" bicycles came into favor, and in 1893, Al Shock, on his new style wheel, ao completely showed up the old high wheels that the superiority of the new bikes was never questioned after that.

Eddie Roberts, Tacoma welterweight, who Jumped into fistic prominenco Saturday with a first round technical knockout over Joe Dundee, of Baltimore, will leave for the East shortly for a pugilistic whirl In that section. Jack Connor, Roberts' manager, said he would seek a match with Pete Latzo, welterweight champion, early In 1927. Roberts polished off Dundee' in short order, and the victory was con sidered all the more Impressive because of the Easterner's record.

which includes technical knockout over Mickey Walker, and wins over most of tho outstanding performers in the country. ABE LEZOTTE DIES Abel R.

I a can I at But the Big News Breaks A law waa passed In 1898 that no competitor in a six day race could rUn or ride more than twelve hours out of each twenty four, ao the idea of bike racea with teama of two men waa hit upon, and thla form of racing proved more Interesting and exciting than the old kind. Miller and Waller won the first team race In New York In 1899. Bas reliefs from ancient Egypt and Babylon as well as the frescoes from Pompeii, show that two wheeled vehicles propelled by muscular pow er were not unknown thousands ot years ago. The ftrst velocipede was Invented in 1779, although some his torlana claim that a date nearly one hundred years earlier would be more correct.

The "Gentlemen's Hobby Horses" of 1818 were followed by the high wheel bikes of 1870; then came the "safety," the bneumatlc tire, the coaster brake, and finally the motorcycle.
