Hefkin has been the wonder of the
recent tourney nt Oynwyd. He has
beaten every one, nnd no one seems te
think he lins anything but n geed re
turn. He has been nicknamed a "stone
wall" by the ether bejs.
"It's just like hitting n ball ngnlnst
n stone wall when you piny him" te
quote one of the boys. "Yeu hit the
ball and it conies back. Yeu hit it n
little harder and it still comes back.
Then it gees n little te one side nnd
then n little te the ether. Finally,
the pnee gets se fast that you can't
hit it any mere. It either gees past
veu or ever your head."
Thnt describes Hefkin perefctly
that "stone wall" nickname. He nlse
could be called a "machine." He
never takes n chnnce; he just returns
the ball and lets the ether fellow make
the errors.

Here's n Lecal Rival for "Pep" Geers
fpHIS nge problem is something te ponder ever. Athletics are spotted here
x and there with many who hnve passed the usual maximum for actlrs
participation.
Right here in our own town, we hnve n rlvnl for "Pep" Geers. Sixty
eight years old is this Philadelphia citizen, and he's still driving winners en
the track.
This Quaker City native is one of "Philadelphia's own," for he Is a re
tired policeman. His name? It is Harry Chutes, who, for bixteen years,
drove a police patrol for the Twenty-third District.
Yesterday ever the turf of the Belmont track, Chutes, black cigar In
mouth nnd reins in hands, drove Reddy Direct n mile In 2:10V4 nt the regular
Narbcrth matinee.
Reddy Direct Is n sorrel gelding pneer with a record of 2123V4. Care
fully trained by Chutes, this horse is new ready for faster company.
"We'll have te match you ngnlnst "Pep" Gecrs, Chutes was told, as hi
pulled up nfter the fast pace.
"Well, I nin't afraid te race him. I'll take him en any time," be
replied.
The courage of youth is well preserved In the mellowness of age.
rj.EORGE CARTWRIGHT, president of the Philadelphia Baseball
vJ Association, is stepping In the right direction when he gees after
rewdyism en local semi-professional diamonds and punishes the offend
