AIter that Jones did not last long and

leased by the Winnipeg club of the

Del Howard says that too much mas
sage Is what causes sore arms among
tne pitchers. He bases his argument on
me fact that few Of the old-tlmers had
sore arms and that many of the present.
day players who have lasted longest re-
fuse TO permit the rubbers TO touch their
arms The argument is little askew
Proper massage of the arms is a great
I help The trouble has been some rubbers
overdo the work. But. beyond that. the
Ignorance of young players Is the chief
cause OF sore arms They find that rub
Ding is an easier way to get an arm into
shape than throwing is. and they throw
as little as possible and have the arm
rubbed as often as possible. The result
Is that when they are forced to pitch
hard or throw often the arm Is not
strong enough to stand the strain.
One of the reasons why Hank o'Day Is
frequently referred 10 as the National
Leagues most Inefficient manager is
shown in the tactless way in which
oDay commented on the Braves
chances IN the National League Ac-
cording to a recent report Hank said:
The Braves will be greatly strengthened
with Evers at second base" While the
facts remain that O'Day Is right and
credit must be given him for expressing
his belief without bias. II doesn't seem
like polite move to take direct slap
at the man who is now playing second
base for him-Bin Sweeney. 1t is hard
to imagine a strategist being so blunt
when little better wording would have
expressed the same opinion without the
sting.
Manager Wilbert Robinson. of the
Brooklyn Dodgers. was recently quoted

LACK COURAGE
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY WAS
KEYNOTE OF ADDRESS BY DIR.
MARK A. MATTEHWS
Splendid Audience Greeted Noted Seat
tie Divine at University Auditor
ium Last Night

| Individual responsibility was the
| keynote of the address made at the
university auditorium last night before
one of the largest audiences ever as
sembled in Moscow when DR.. Mark A.
Matthews, pastor of the Seattle Pres
byterian church, delivered his address
on "Civic Righteousness" DR.. Mat
thews is a forceful and convincing
speaker and he held his audience in
rapt attention for two hours during
which period he went into many phases
of the moral obligations that are due
the world from people in all walks OF
life.
He did not make an attack but de-
livered an urgent appeal to men to
throw off the cloak of hypocricy and
and against the influence of individual
weakness. He went after all classes
of men for their apparent lack of cour-
age and pointed out the cowardly" at
titude of those who were afraid to
disclose their manly convictions.
He declared that there were men in
every line of business and profession
who did not have the courage to as
sert their convictions fearing that it
would mean pecuniary loss. He said
that in question of morality, especial
ly the liquor problem, that men of the
very highest degree were lax to ex-
press the attitude of their convictions |
fearing the reaction of the worse ele- |
ment would be an influence against |
them in business.
He pointed out specific instances I
where by an honest expression of
views the plaudits of the world re-
suited and incidentally eulogized Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary McAdoo for
