Will Use Devices to
Develop His PLAYERS

The st. Louis Browns spring train
ing camp at st. Petersburg, Fla,
which will be thrown open the last
week in February. will be the most
novel baseball training habitat in the
country
Some of the methods by which Man
ager Hickey hores to elevate the
Browns are:
tripHcate batting cage, in which
his squad of s5 men. batting six men
to cage, may bat three times as
often as the customary method, which
lets the entire squad hit in turn. and
in addition assures safety in batting.
Sliding pits. specially constructed,
the first of their kind in the annals of
professional baseball.
Pitchers box and frst base in
proper juxtaposition designed for the
purpose of teaching base runners the
essential art of getting a lead" and
breaking straight in running.

JOHNSTON HELD
RACQUET KING
Of COAST
Lack of Activity Puts Ban
on Tom Bundy and
Maurice Mclaughlin

In the ranking of the tennis men
OF the coast. the notable thing is the
omission of the names Of such famous
racquet men as Maurice Mclaughlin
and Tom Bundy. The ratings as an
nounced yesterday by the committee
appointed by the California lawn ten
mis- association puts Willie Johnston
of this city at the head of the singles
men and Strachan and Griffin at the
top of the doubles
The omission of Mclaughlin and
Bundy is caused by the rating rules
of the association. which specify that
in order to be rated. players must
participate in at least three tourna-
ments. Bundy has taken part in two
tournaments on this coast. while
Mclaughlin has not participated in
any tournaments this year.
The ratings as announced are con-
ceded by tennis men to be fair, and,
though there may be a difference of
opinion In one or two places, the
positions in which the men have been
placed will meet with the general
opinion of the majority of fans.
The rankings follow:
SINGLES
William Johnston OF San Francisco.
2-Johu Strachan OF San Francisco.
3-Elia Fottrell OF San Francisco.
4---Clarence Griffin Of San Francisco.
5-R. Lindley Murray OF Palo Alto.
6-Byron n. Batkin OF San Francisco.
willis Davis OF Berkeley.
S--MarshaH Ketcham Of Santa Monica.
DOUBLES

Johnston and Fottrel1 Of San Francisco.
3-Sinsabaugh and Wayne OF Los Angeles.
4-RofB and RafhcIf OF Berkeley.

Only couple OF years ago, when

of him, Smith was regarded as a
third rate four rounder around
here, with no more heart than a
jackrabbit. But a couple of years
has brought about quite a change.
The Gunner has improved with
age.
~ HERE is little doubt but that
the fans of the United States
viii regard the winner as the
heavy weight champion of the
world. With Jack Johnson dis
graced and disqualified and Sam

Pelkey and Smith appear to have

THlNIS have been thrown out
~ ready to offer Ritchie fat
- guarantees to box minor per-
formers back in the big city.
Hints were also thrown out that
the champion likely would jump

is TO be hoped that he does not
persue this course.

n ITCHIE is a lad OF high ideals
N and a nervous temperament.
He is not one to stand for
much public criticism or comment
He probably thinks more of that
championship title than he does
of his fat bankroll or the chance
to add to II. In the event that
he does toss Murphy over for
somebody else, he would be at

bounded throughout the country.

grind. It's the most important
heavy weight battle this city has
known in many years.

IGHT now it looks as though
II the Gunner is going to rule
IN a choice over his larger op-
ponent, despite the fact that Pei
XIV has been regarded as the le-
gitimate white hope champion
since his defeat of poor Luther
Mccarthy up in Canada last spring.
But Pelkey has not been doing
anything in the meantime, while
smith has been the busiest and
most successful fighter in the
game.
ELKY never has appeared in
a San Francisco ring, and the
= fans of San Francisco, there
fore. know nothing OF his fighting
ability. In fact. he was practi-
cally unknown TO fame anywhere

Housckeeper Not Belittled.

You al know me well enough to be sure
that I have no intention OF belittling the
position OF wife and mother and housekeep-
er. It is the work God has put into your
hands and he means you to make the best
OF il. But you fail to do this when you let
one side of your being atrophy. You are
developing one department OF your nature
and your work at the expense of the others
and making ready TO present to him mis-
shapen, distorted product instead Of the
beautiful, symmetrical result he has the
right TO expect from you.
Perhaps you don't see how this applies in
the case OF Mrs. A. What has her neglect of
her figure and dress to do with her discharge
of her God given duties?
lit has more than you suppose. For the
figure and dress are both due to her having
left undone the things she should have done
Perhaps 1 have quoted to you before the
saying: You have not fulfilled every duty
in life unless you have fulfilled that Of be-
ing pleasant" Let me paraphrase that and
say, You have failed in part OF your duty
If you have not made yourself look attrac-
tive
This is not a counsel of vanity. 1t Is sd-
vice to confer happiness on your husband
and children by a care of your appearance
that will make them proud Of you and glad
to go about with you and to have their
friends meet you.
The Washington herald., 1913-02-02
Should Check Faults in Time.

How are you to keep yourself up in these
lines? How should Mrs. A have set about
It?
In the first place she should have begun
in time She should have been on the
lookout for the stoop between her shoul-
ders, the thickening below the waist line
that would have showed her she was not
taking care OF herself The attention to
the proper sort of exercise for preserving
the shape OF the figure does more than
assist in keeping up a good appearance
il aids In retaining health, V!gor. alert
ness and ease of motion and promotes efn-
cheney. Doctors and physical culturists
lay stress upon this and in books and mag
azInes may be found directions for the
more than ten minutes day but will do
the work OF making muscles supple and
obedient
If Mrs. A. had appreciated the fact that
it is easier TO check an unfortunate de-
velopment in the early stages than to cor
rect 1t after it has reached a later period
of growth she would have saved herself
trouble. Start in season, you who have
the same tendency she has. Don't say
you haven't time for such things! You
have, IL you plan for it. Five minutes
while dressing in the morning or undress-
window while you are waiting for the ket
tie to boil or the bread TO brown-the in
tervsl you devote to these will never be
