STANDARDIZED BOARD
FOR DIVING INVENTED
iSTAxroRrr university, cal.,
Jan. 30. — A standardized diving
spiting board invented bv Ernst
Brandsten. Stanford swimming coach,
intended to obviate difficulties en
countered by divers in competition
in strange pools, has been widely
'adopted by colleges and athletic as
sociations in the United States an I
abroad.
The Intercollegiate Swimming As
sociation, which controls the aquatic
sports in the various organizations
of colioges over the country will re
quire member universities to install
the improved board, it is said. Co
lumbtta, Now York University, Yale.
Princeton. Cornell. West Point and
Annapolis, as well as all Pacific
Coast Conference colleges, are al
ready equipped.
The New York Athletic Club. Il
linois Athletic Club. Olympic Club
of San Francisco, .Multnomah Club
of Portland and the Los Angeles
Athletic Club, in addition to swim
ming pools and I ach resorts near
San Franclisco, are also using tlie
standardized eqtiipment.
The spring board is made of clear
vertical grain Oregon pine, instead
of the usual hickory or ash. Brand
sten says that coaches have found
pine to be equal, if not superior, to
more expensive woods. The board
comes in two sizes, one for indoor
pools whore a short headpiece must
be used, and the other for outdoor
pools.
Tlie Indoor spring board measures
13 feet, i: 30 inches wide, and three
inches thick. This board is tapered
toward the forward end to one and
one-half inches in thickness. It is
set about one meter above tlie sur
face of tlie water. Tlie outdoor
board is of the same dimensions, ex
cept that it is 10 feet long and is
set at two heights, one meter an i
three meters.

NEW YORK. Jan. 30. Athletic or
ganizations throughout the country,
especially in the East, are paying
greater attention than ev r before to
the development of distance runners
in preparation for the 1924 Olympiad
at Paris.
America s Vr»» * :s in distance
events, especially the marathon, has
always been a handicap ,:i interna
tional competition and a problem that
at hied if authorities have sought con
stantly to solve. Not since 1308, in
the Olympics at London, when John
ny Hayes captured the marathon
after Dorando. the Italian star, col
lapsed when leading near tha finish,
has the United States produced a
winner or landed better than third
pJace in this classic. .The same lack j
of class in other distance events his
often hampered this country’s
chances of team victory, despite the
fact that Yankee supremacy lias lie -p
established consistently in shorter j
rices and in many field evonts.
The Increasing number of distance
and marathon races, and the prom
Inonco given them in recent athletic
contorts, reflects a general effort to
bolster America's strength in this
branch of competition. Organizations
in New York and Boston have do
voted particular attention to bring
ing out talent for longer events,
while road races in various parts of
the country have attracted largo en
tries and stimulate ! a desire among
runners to train for distance laurels.
Two* of the most consistent d;s
ernce stars now in competition are
Willie Ritol.i, of the Pinnish-Amerl
can A. C., New York, and It. Earl
Johnson, Pittsburgh Negro. Ritola
anti Johnson competed in most of
the principal dlstame events la
fall, the Finn winning the national
lb-mile and cross-country lilies which
Johnson held the year before. Umar
Prim, another PInnish-American star,
who captured the five-mile national
championship, is in the front rank of
distance cracks.
Marathon stars capable of compel
ing with European runners have been
largely lacking. Clarence DeMar,
who is attempting a come-back after
many years of competitive idleness,
inil Prank Zuna, of New York, are
among the outstanding eligibles f ir
'his event, but there are few others
of top-notch calibre. Ifeveiopment of
marathon material Is one of the chief
goals of those interested in strength
ening the American array of Olympic
contenders for next year.

■Waiver ton. in purchasing the re
lease of Martin from Daytona, is ob

something about, for it was the Old
Gray Wolf who gave the player his
start with the New York Americans
when Harry managed the Yanks in
1912. Martin was only 17 years old
then, and Boss Harry sent him out
to Rochester in the International
League for experience.
Martin has had plenty of Class AA I
experience with the International ■
League and during the several years;
li” was witti Milwaukee in the Ameri
can Association. He is a stocky built
fellow and a right-handed lillter.
Wolverton says that Martin is not
a heavy hitter, but tint In is a smirl
hitter, being one of tin best hit aid
run men that lie has seen in ti i
minors. He is of tho brainy type t
ball player, shoving Hie ball througl !
