Into a clinch they wrestled all over tho

WEST PHILADELPHIA BOY JUMPING UNDER TRIPLE
ssms.'MmmMB-m'MsE
BOY WITH WITHERED LEG IS
DESTINED TO BE JUMPING STAR
By HORACE
DESPITE n withered left '.cr, caused by
a fi 11 seven or elsht years aco, I'er
bert Fcndrich, a lC-vear-old freshmnn of
tho West Philadelphia HlKh School, Is des
tined to become one of tho best high
Jumpers ever produced by n local school.
Ho sees no barrier In his ninictlon. In
n dual track meet between tho West
Hranch Y. SI. C. A. and tho Vlctrlx C. C.
last Saturday night fio crippled atUcto,
wcnrlne tho colors of West Ilrnnch,
cleared tho bnmboo bar nt 6 feet 8 Inches,
tying t3arl WIndhovcl, nlso of West
Hranch, nnd several jears ago ono of
tho best schoolboy high jumpers In Phila
delphia. Moreover, he defeated Sid Smith,
who represented Vlctrlx, nnd Jim Ilrcchl
men, ono of the foremost all-nround ath
letes In Philadelphia nnd a standard
bearer of tho West Branch.
Fine Performance
Spectators woro amazed when It was
announced that young Fcndrich hnd suc
ceeded In tying Wlndhovel and dofeatlnB
Smith nnd llrcchlmen. Until Saturday
night followers ot truck athletics know as
little of Fcndrich as they did of John
Paul Jones beforo tho t'ornclllnn defeated
Tell llerna for tho mile run In tho 1011
Intcrcolleglates. They little thought that
a Ind, recently graduate 1 fro- tho ncs
ton Grammar School, and handicapped by
a malformed leg, could ever hope to win
prominence ns a high Jumper.
Friends of the promising young high
Jumper explained after tho meot that
Kendrlck, who Is n novice, as far back
as his primary bcIioo! days wns fond of
athletics, and hail It not been for his
zealous deslro to play baseball, regard
less of tho condition J.' tho diamond, ho
would still possess nv, normal limbs.
Began Early
While, Fcndrlck was still In knicker
bockers ho Joined a class of youngsters
In u ball game on n, vacant lot near tho
school. Tho lot was not suited for a
playground, ns treacherous holes and
earth mounds lurked on all sides. A ball
batted along the ground was likely to
tnko an ugly bound and lilt ono of the
players In tho faco, or a player running
after tho ball was almost certain to tread
violently In one of tho pitfalls.
Tho boys, however, wcro living In that
reckless nge when dangers are never seen
save after some one Is Injured. A high
fly was lofted In tho direction of young
Fendrlck, who started after It, head high
In tho air. Tho outcomo was almost
Inevitable. Fcndrlck, I'lithlnklngly. run
ning ns fast as his two . ' -ong legs could
carry him, started In the d.rectlon of a
deep hole.
A half hour later, nfter tho physicians
had mado an examination. It was pro
nounced that the young ball player had
broken his kneecap, and mat tho growth
of tho leg would ba exceedingly slow.
Tho prediction was exact, for today,
seven or eight years later, tho leg Is no
ticeably underdeveloped and weak.
In splta of his Injured lee, Fcndrich Is
B. REED
ono of tho most optimistic lads in tho
city. Ho Is firmly of tho opinion thnt in
years to comn ho will outgrow tho result
of his youthful accident.
"There's no use fretting over a llttlo
thing llko a bad leg," he said yestorday.
"Of course It nffects my take-off, but I'm
going to practice U3 often as possible to
develop my strength nnd form. Other fel
lows may havo nn advantage over me.
but I nm not discouraged and expect to
get up to C feet 10 by tho tlmo of tho out
door meets."
Fendrlch is so cntliuslnstlc over per
forming fonts Impossible for natural de
veloped lads that yestorday, with snow
on the ground, ho donned n track suit und
practiced several Jumps In tho school
yard. Will Recover
A noted West Philadelphia physician,
when told of Fendrlch, said that within a
few years ho will never know that ho mot
with his misfortune. -
During his lelsuro hours tho schoolboy

tho lad and Is giving him some valuable
pointers. It would not bo surprising to his
friends that, within a few years, tho un
fortunnto 'hough cheerful West Philadel

after the quadrangular High School track
