Logan lost the last game it has played to Box Elder on the latter's tome floor.

ness of Ins ooun- Xorger Tokle try "This looks like a slice of Norway," we ventured. Torger Tokle smiled. Yes," he siiixi in his unmistakable Norwegian acrent, "perhaps like the fjords of Trondheim." It was these surroundings, so reminiscent of his homeland, that we met the flying Norseman whose ski jumping has made his name legion among winter spoits followers. How does he do it? TOKLE KOFCHKN AS I1E GAINS M'EKD You ski about 600 feet on the inrun," he points out, ciouclung as you gain sliced. On the transition, you rise slowly, then spring and kick your legs as you hit the takeoff.

You must hit in the middle of the ski boot to get distance. "If you kick too soon the skis tilt. If you kick too lute, you're liahle to do a somersault. You're goinr 65 to 70 miles an hour whon you tuke off. The jump lifts you 65 to 70 feet in the air.

I jump as high as I can, for that means distance. In the air you lean forward in a floating position, almost horizontal. A'our legs are together, arms twirling forward slowly like a swimmer. The wind lifts the prone body like the wing of an airplane, When you land, you must continue smoothly. No pawing for balance and, of course, no falls.

II you fall, the jump is out and you lose." TOK-LA BECOMES --TOK-EL IN V. S. Tokle (Tok-la although he has dropped that pronunciation for the American version -Tok-el) speaks of his art in the offhand manner you might describe the game of jacks. Obviously jumping takes amazing coordination, timing, balance, power, stamina and a cool head. Tokle has them all.

Experts call him the most powerful jumper this country bus exer known. He hits tremendous recoil and kick. His balance is superb. In 39 meets, be has won 35, fallen only twice. Tokle came to the United States on Jan.

21, 1939. One of 11 children, his home was In Lokken Vcrk, 40 miles from Trondheim. In Norway, he says, anybody who knows how to walk knows how to ski. He started at 3. He began to jump when he was 6.

At 9. he won a local tournament with a leap of 80 feet. He soared 130 feet before his tenth birthday. Torger won the Bear Mountain jump the day after he arrived. but his reputation really began when he tied Rcidnr Anderson, Norwegian champion, at 220 feet at Laconia, N.

later that year. Since then, five-foot, six-inch 100-nound Tokle 1 is been the guiding light of U. S. Hi jumping. The Norewigan carpenter (he formerly worked in a shipyard) shuttered the American record by leaping 288 feet at Snoqualmie Ski Bowl, near Seattle, March 2, 1941.

He soared 273 feet at Leavenworth, 251 feet at Laconia, 243 at Lake Flacid, and 223 at Brattleboro. Vt. He invariably outjumps his opponents but has a habit of losing form points by failing to keep his boots together in the air. He thinks 427 feet is the maximum distance possible. Wind resistance combined with the speed that would have to be acquired would make controlled landing impossible at more than that.

He is enthused about American reception to cki jumping. Some day," he says, "it will be as big as baseball here." When you realize that his record-breaking jump would entry him out of a modern baseball park, you rather doubt that. The 'Ump' Is Safe FOLSOM, Feb. 9 While major league baseball stars were propelling home run balls over the Folsom prison walls, two convicts made a dash for freedom yesterday but both were recaptured.

Mead, Los Angeles murderer, and Philip Gardner, Los Angeles burglar, both under life sentence and former prison mates at Michigan state penitentiary, took advantge of the game's distraction to cut a hole in a fence and ford the American river power canal. Mead was found six miles away at Mississippi Bur by three small boys. He was nursing an injured leg. Guards took him without trouble. Gardner was captured as he passed the final guard post.

The ball game was called off at the end of seven innings because of the break, and not because the major leaguers were leading Folsom 24 to 5. The major leuguers included Ernie Lombardie, Ernie Bonham, Gussie Suhr, Joe Marty and Johnny Babich.

H1ALF Feb. 9 (ID-Two important factors contributed to the failure of Alsab in his debut as a thrce-ycar-old and the $700 wonder horse of 1941 is still the best horse in the country, Owner Al Sabath said today. Jockey Conn MeCready apparently was not strong enough to handle A'snb and the colt was a victim of bad racing luck in the $5,000 added Bahamas handicap at Hialeah Park Suturduy Sabtith said.

Alsab had been the odd.s-on favorite in the Bahama but finished sixth to Mrs. A. F. Sherman's American Wolf, an 18-1 shot, Sabath said he though the horse would come along fast and be right in there for the rich $25, (XK) added Flamingo stakes on Feb. 28.

MeCready said he had no "excuses" for Alsab' performance and said no thought the horse had a good rido." "He just wasn't ready. What he needs is more races to get him in condition," MeCready asserted.

9 1 lb-Military demands for stalwart young men are hitting the minor leagues but even the most dogged diamond pessimist must admit that the smaller circuits are singing their swan song in elegant style today by sending an impressive 1942 crop of rookies to the majors. By a happy coincidence, 8l-though several big league clubs have frantically combed this freshman fooder for replacements for players lost to the armed services, the three hardest hit the Boston Red Sox. Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians -are singu-tarly blessed as far as star newcomers are concerned. Respectively, these teams lost Ted Williams, Hank Greenberg and Bobby Fel-ler, all top men at their posts. Replacing a hitter of Williams' calibre G41U in 1941) if he should pass his soon-scheduled physical examination, is practically impossible.

The Red Sox have only on? new outfielder and he is Johnny Welaj from Washington where ho hit only but they do have a youngster Johnny Pesky who may be one of the standout infielders in the circuit.

He hit .325 both seasons. The Tigers, too. would be hard-pressed to find a suitable substitute for a great slugger like Greenberg but they have a formidable group of experienced outfielders to choose from and have been considerably consoled by the acquisition of a prize infielder.

He is Billy Hitchcock from Kansas City who has already been assigned to the shortstop post vacated by Frank Croucher, now with Washington. The 23-year-old Hitchcock hit .296 with the Blues last year and fielded brilliantly. Feller's enlistment in the navy left the Indians with a huge breach in the pitching department but Cleveland has been rewarded with two exceptionally promising recruits. One is pitrher Red Em-bree from Wilkes-Barre of the Eastern league where he walked off with nearly all hurling honors. Embree, 22 years old, fanned 213 batters in 229 Innings, led In earned run averages with 1.69, topped the won-and-lost column with a percentage of 80S on 21 victories and five defeats.

He notched eight shutouts. Huskey Lcs Fleming, 25-year-old first baseman from Nashville in the Southern association is the other impressive arrival. He took a major share of his league's hitting honors with an average of 414 and 155 hits in 374 times al bat. Of that total, 71 were for extra buses and included 29 NEW YORK. Feb.

Warmerdam, who floated over the bar at 15 feet inches with a borrowed pole in the Millrose games at Madison Square Garden last Saturday night, expects to do better at Boston with his own favorite pole which Is scheduled to arrive today or tomorrow, after being delayed in transit. The Boston performance will be his second and last appearance of the indoor season, he believes.

He will not participate in the Penn A. C. games at Philadelphia Friday, nor in the New York Metropolitan intercollegiatcs Thursday.

Warmerdam, who has done 15 feet 5 inches outdoors, knows of no reason why he can't do justi as well indoors.
