DANFORTH PASSES
WINTERVILLE, Ga.—Wednes
afternoon Wintervillo High
>ol basketball team defeated
the strong Washington team to
the tune of 26 to 21. During the
first half the visitors were unable
to stop the fast playing of the
Winterville team, the score at the
end of the first half being 21 to
7 in favor 6f Winterville. It
was not until the latter part *»f
the -third quarter that Washington
was able to locate the basket,
when a series of shots brought the
final score to 26 to 21. The en
tire Winterville team played good
ball, with Captain Morton leading
in scoring. Morton shot 11 points
and Hardeman was next with ten
points. For Washingto Capt.
Lunsford was highest scorer with
13 points to his credit.

Is the power of psychology al
most as great an asset for auc-
«ei» in sport as natural ability?
The passing of Southpaw I)avc
Danforth from .Ihe St. Louis
Browns to the minors brings up
that question.
For years Dave Danforth has
been thu stormy petrel of the Am
erican League. Rival clubs in
sisted Dave doctured the ball,
while Danforth said it was all
imagination on their part.
Concentration in sport 1* mo3t
essential. The ' good batsman
must have a keen eye, the ability
to follow the ball; Incidentally he
must have his mind on the mak
ing of base hits.
Whenever Dave Danforth was
announced as the pitcher, the op-
position instead of playing it-*
usual role turned detective. In
stead of trying to hit the ball
that Danforth was pitching, they
attempted to discover what Dar.
£< rth was doing to the ball.
As a result when Danforth pitch
ed the epposition lacked much of
the poise that was usually a part
of its baseball repertoire.
TRICK DELIVERIES
"If a ball club thinks you are
doctoring the bill, make ihom feel
sure of It by resorting to unusual
mannerisms that savor or trick
ery," was a remark Danforth once
made to me.
"You can't make base hits ar
guing that the pitcher is cheating,
he batter must swing at the ball.
