$A1N HALTS BARNYARD TOURNEY
A T ST. PETE, BUT DOESN'T PREVENT
ATHLETES FROM HA V1NG PRACTICE
St. Peieraburt. Fin., Feb. 22.
.(TIIIE only thing that Interfered with the great national
horseshoe tonrnnraent yesterday was n thrilling rain
storm. UnlnstormH are thrilling and cause much excite
ratnt down here because In the winter season tho folks
arc so proud of the sunshine thnt whenever It rains tho
daily paper in distributed free. Getting a newspaper for
n'othlng was enough entertainment for the natives in one
yty, and it was thought advisable to postpone the cham
pionship tourney until today.
J (In this manner Oeorge Washington's birthday Is cele
brated in a just nnd fitting manner. Abraham Lincoln
lad a birthday pome time ugo, but nobody said n word
about it. (ieorge, however, will be slgually honored be
cause It is Indeed a wonderful thing to start the big event
oil one's birthday. Only Ice hockey matches arc played on
Lincoln's anniversary.
' The committee in charge looked over the course at
high noon nnd after a very thorough Investigation he said
the lanes were entirely too moist for fast pitching. There
fore, everything was declared ofT for the day, di'splte the
fact I told him I couldn't he present at the opening exer
cises this morning. He said he should worry, which is
lonsldered snappy slang in these parts.
J In the meantime, all of the contestants were practicing.
A barnyard golfer has his own ideas of practicing. He
pitches nil day, trying to improve hN control. Perhaps it
is easy work, but we can't see it. Hurling those iron
regals through the air nud walking after them Is like a
blacksmith taking a day oft to shoe some horses or u plnno
mover spending a vacation ut a weight-lifting contest.
AFTER the tourneu had been called off the con
A iestants did nothing but continue to pitch.
They were at it during the tropical rainstorm and
called it a day ichen the sun sank suddenly and
ruined the mariner. Then everybody tcent home and
read the paper trhich icm left on the doorstep xcith
the compliments of the editor. The circulation teas
unusually targe.
t Champion of Arizona Arrives
THE mysterious stranger, which is n way of referring to
the dark horse, arrived yesterday. At first it was
thought that Flinger Smith, of lietzwood. Va heavily
backed by Ira I.oury. was the man. but The Flinger still
is absent. Instead. F. A. Scott, of Yuma, Arizona, ap
peared, and after going ocr the course with his shors
developed n sore eye and withdrew from the tourney.
Some of the gossips sa Ids eyesight was good enough to
see tbc other (lingers in action and anyway, he is satisfied
with the championship of Arizona.
Harnvard golf championships have been held here since
J018 and they always have b-en successful. According to
the dope spilled around the clubhouse, the tourney was
b'eld to offset the stunts bc.'ng pulled at Miami. For some
reason, the folks here arc jealous of the eastern shore in
habitants nnd got very sore when they read about the
horse polo games which were being plajed.
At first the St. I'ete bolsters thought of playing polo
here but none of the athletes were strong enough to stay
on a horse, and In order to have an equine flavor horse
shoe pitching was substituted. The sport made such a lilt
tfiat several fire houses up North took it up and started to
develop champions.
The first tournament was won by Urust, but lie was
trimmed in the next. The best player seen here, accord
ing to the fans, was George May. Georgo could throw two
ringers out of three pitches and was considered invincible.
However, he was fighting a fire and hurt his eyesight and
cduldu't find the peg. Now "he is a veteran, and that s
going some. , ., .,

The veteran Williams put on a

big crowd.
Williams' one sided victory greatly

Vincc Grady Changes His Style
.rpiinN there Is Vincent Grady, of Maroa, III. Last year
-L Grady was in the tournament nnd pitched a shoe
which turned one and onc-hnlf times. He wasn't satisfied
with this form of delivery, so decided to change it. There
fore, he went back to the farm nnd between digging
potatoes and hoeing com nnd things like that developed
something new. He now slings a rolling she which
travels end over end and says he now has n chanco o
make lots of ringers.
C. A. Giant Is known as "Pittsburgh" on the links.
He is one of tho hard workers nnd trains faithfully. Every
fall he cranks up the flivver and takes the wife to St.
Augustine, where he pitches n couple of months:. Then
he moves his training camp to Palm Beach and Miami,
getting in better condition all of the time. He arrived
here two weeks ago nnd has been out on the links every
morning and afternoon. "Pittsburgh" has many admirers
nnd they pick him to finish up In the race.
Hut the real pitcher Is Hughle Palmer, of Akron.
Hughlc Is a great athlete and trains harder than Jack
Dcmpsey. He Is up at sunrise every day and takes a
three-mile walk. Then nfter n light breakfast he goes
to the links and pitches until noon. One-half hour is used
up for luncheon purposes and he is back again until they
chase him home.
"Don't tell me that hoTseshoe pitching isn't a scientific
game," said Hughlc vigorously. "It's the greatest sport
in the world and I'd like to sec some of you young fel
lows try It. Looks easy, but It isn't. A baseball pitcher
has a plate of eighteen inches wide to throw nt nnd he
can't get 'cm over. Wo have n bnc-lnch stake and the
openl-r, of the shoe is only three nnd one-half inches
wide, but we not only hit the stake but also make ringers.
Don't tell me it ain't hard to do."
Hughle, with his three score years nnd ten nnd then
some, Is the Ohio champion und olso the American In
dustrial titleholdcr. He throws o slow shoe because they
changed the rules on him. Once the pitching distance was
forty-six feet and the strain was too great for the athletes.
Therefore, It was changed to forty feet and Hughle had to
change his style. Instead of taking two nnd one-half
turns, he. uses but one-half n turn and has been going so
good that ho has a record of twenty-four ringers In suc
cession. LAST year they say that Hughic was too stiff at
the stake and he spent all winter in loosening up.
This is the first case on record where any of the
athletes loosened up. lie practiced in the snow at
Akron and the weather was so cold that he had to
wear gloves. Tie grew accustomed to them and now
can't go without the mittens. Hughic prrspirci in
the palms every ttmc he pitches under the hot sun
but he can't help it. Without the gloves he can't
throw so many ringers.

Tho Sunshine Pleasure Club, which is staging the

stray burrs on the shovs. An eineTy wheel hns also been
incited to smooth the rough spots. Adhesive tape is fur
nished free and also brushes and sap, as the athletes
sometimes arc iu need of them.
After looking ovvr the contestants, tho judges decided
to cut down the games from 100 to 50 points. Nobody
kicked nt that.
Three judges officiate in every match. Two of them
are called gardeners and it is their duty to keep the soil
around the Ieg leveled, measure nil close shots nnd stop
arguments. The other judge watches the gnrdcuers.
HAD an opportunity to interview one of the stars
last night. "How do you keep your nerve in those
close earnest" I asked.
"Well," replied the athlete as he ran his hand
through h'n whiikcrs, "I just look at the bottom of
the iron peg before 1 pitch and let it mesmerise me."

In the second lmlf of play Haverford

ADAMS STlJLL SHINES
' IN BOX AT AGE OF 38
Tlie "Babe" Has Been Hurl
ing Since 1904, Was
Shipped to Minors Once,
But Continues as Star
1 By GRANTLAND RICE '
O. H. never told a lie
A'or hqrned 0i icith an alibi.
Itut back in great 0. 11',' day
If one had asked about his score,
lie never had a chance to sau
"I should have had an elghty-four."
A'o great temptation lured him off
inio'tf never even heard of golf.
O. 11. Jousting in the sand
1Vth niblick in his upraised hand
Was never called upon lo state
While thrashing hdck and1 forth again.
Whether he'd played sir strokes or eight,
Or very likely nine or ten
.1 tougher game, you tcill agree,
Than chopping down a cherry tree.
IN THE last ten years what a group
of bnllplaylng wonders you hnvo Been
pass on over the hill to fade away In the
mists Mnthewsnn, Lajole, Wagner,
Brown, Walsh, Plank
Each spring some stnn lakes his Inst
trip South with a big leaguo club. And
tho spring of 11)21 will bo no exception.
Both leagues nre full of veterans who
hnvc only n short distance to go, but
many of them persist in spilling tho
dope by hanging on.
There Is the remarkable "Babe"
Adams, for one example. "Bnhc" was
pitching professional ball back around
1001, seventeen years ago, "v
In lflOn he was a world scries star,
winning three straight contests -from
Detroit.
, In 1017 he was figured all through,
and ro wns rolled hack to the minors
with "Hos-Been" written on his career.
After spending two years in the
minors the "Babe", returned to Pitts
burgh nt the ago at thirty-six, nnd has
put lu two great campaigns. Ho is
now thlrtytclght and still one of the
best.
But nt thirty-eight one hasn't many
strides left, no matter how remarkable
his stamina is.
A1
DAMS' comeback nt his advnnccd
baseball age was one of the most
reniarknble features of recent years. IK
was thirty-four when Pittsburgh sent
him back ovor the old rood that lie
started forward ou thirteen years before.
Veterans of thirty-four who arc sent
back rarely ever have the stuff or the
ambition to get a new start.
But tho "Babe" "was a miraculous
exception. In place of being merely n
tiller-In he wns one of the club's mnln
stays. good for thirtv-fivc games a year
and able to win ii big percentage of his
startK. In 1010 he allowed fewer than
two earned runs a game, running neck
and' neck with Aloxauder
The worst he deserves is a chaplet of
orchid blosfjoms.
