WARRIOR Thinks Weight viii Hell Speed

Extra POundag Will Remain With Him Through Training
BIZ HARRY GLASER.

TEw YORK, n Y, Feb. 27.-Jack
M Warhop, who until this winter
- was one Of the smallest pitchers
in captivity. will have to be introduced
to his team mates before he is recog-
nized. for he has changed wonderfully.
He is no longer in the midget class,
being fully 20 pounds heavier than he
has ever been before, and figures the
~. weight means added strength on
the mound, for the increased pOundage
represents solid Drawn and muscle.
For years WARRIOR has endeayOred to
put on extra weight, because he be-
lieved if he was heavier he would be
more effective. and quite a few eXpe-
rienced baseball men shared the same
views. But try as he would, Jack could
never boost his pounds above the $50
mark until this winter, when he took
on weight like a new cop in the sub
urbs. only Jack didn't accumulate it
in the same manner. Nor does the in
crease make him look like a well-fed
a4-erman. It is wen distributed about
his -rame, and for this reason the little
