A Lunch Fit, for a King.

An active and successful young
lady tells her food experience:

Nuts food was recommended to me, I
had no faith in it. However, I tried
It, and soon there was a marked i'm
provement in my condition.
II had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used a stimulant to
revive me. I found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times I was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was a great gain. As to my
other troubles-nervous prostration.
dyspepsia, etc.-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.

I derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
as a noon luncheon. l was thoroughly
tired Of cheap restaurants and ordin-
airy lunches, and SO made the expert
ment of taking a package of Grape
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at o on and getting a nickeTs
worth Of sweet cream to add to it. /.
II found that this simple dish, fin

or a bunch Of grapes made a lunch At

me perfectly.

only four lost days charged up against

Some of the best pitchers ever connected with professional
baseball have received bumps from sources SO humble that
any false esteem they may have held for themselves has van
ished like the SHOWS of last season. Cy Young, the noblest old
Roman of them all, has been beaten by village teams. The best
pitchers of the worlds champions, not long after they had
trimmed the Cubs, were beaten by the unknown Cuban teams
they faced during their late transforming trip. They pitched
good ball. the kind Of ball that would defeat any team if it
came to a matter of whole seasons record, but luck, the one
thing above all others that makes baseball the thrilling and
perfect game it is, decreed otherwise. There are times, you see,
when all the science and all the outguessing in the world will

matter who is in the box. It is usually lack of control on the
part of the pitcher that disconcerts or demoraizes the infed.
Players lose confidence because they are uncertain as to what
will happen next. The catcher may call for a "pitchout'-
that is. a ball thrown wide of the batter, so that the catcher
can have a clear throw to second to catch a runner who is
about to steal. The infelders all see this signal and both the
shortstop and second baseman leave their positions to assist in
making the play. If the pitcher does not pitch-out, as expected,
the batter may hit the ball through the spot left vacant and up
set the whole team. Once they lose confidence in q pitcher in
a game, 1T is very diff cult to regain it It is not that thew will

vent the runner from getting too much of a lead, and when
he does start, the ball is pitched out of reach of the bat
ter so that the catcher can have a clear throw to second.
While the pitcher is watching the base runner he knows
that the base runner is also watching him, in an effort to as
certain whether the ball is to be delivered to the plate or to the
base. Therefore. no preliminary movement on the part of the
pitcher must betray his intentions.

The real test of a pitchers ability arrives when the oppos-
ing team gets men on bases. His responsibility is increased
while his freedom OF pitching motion is restricted. He must

thing in a modified form.
How much figure does bra1nwork cut? l don't quite know
myself. l do know that no pitcher, however powerful or agile,
can hope to become a great performer without being thoroughly
equipped from the shoulders up" The steel arm is desirable,
good eye Is even more desirable, but, without the little filling
of gray matter that is popularity supposed to inhabit the skull,
a pitcher might just as well pack his suitcase and go back to
the quaint little village where he was first discovered. It isn't
the iron IN the arm, because lots Of longshoremen could snap a
pitchers arm in two with a single twist; it's the combination Of
brain and body. the perfect cooperation of mind and muscle. that
makes a man a successful major league twirler.

Gleason told me that Cross had fought against and overcome his
weakness, and had developed into a murderer of the high, fast
delivery. Keeping Gleasons advice in mind, 1 gave Cross moth
ing but low curves during the series, and had him helpless from
the start. Had it not been for Gleason's tip, Monies always
dangerous bat might have caused trouble in that series, for
there were some very close games before it was all over.
The greatest strength Of a pitcher, aside from his control, is
what the players call his mixture" That means no more nor
less than what the word implies-his variety of fast and slow
balls, his serving of this o that curve. What we call the
change of pace" the delivering of a fast and then a slow ball
with the same preliminary motions, and the mixing of a high
