Huber Says It Keeps Blood Cleaned
By FRANK C. AIENKE.

of Huber's fame asked nim If he
could - anything for his arm
NO, I cans, but you can do it your
self" said Huber. I've. been watching
you and I've found out that in another
sly months you'll kill your arm absO-
lutely If you don't change your swing.
Then Huber got Overall in a corner
of the balu park and showed him how
the peculiar twist that Overall used
with his side arm delivery was wreck
inE his arm
Every time you throw the ball that
way you twist your muscles. said HUI
Der Your swing isn't natural---and
the muscles revolt You'll have them
twisted out Of shape shortly and you'll
b. through for all time"
Then Huber gave Overall a little
chart showing the location of the arm
muscles. showed him Just what effect
his twisting motions had on those
muscles and then told him he eoGli
change his style Of side arm delivery
and correct the troLble without sAcri
filng any Of the efficiency Of the
delivery
Went Into OsteOpafhy.
Overall following Huber's advice.
shifted his style Of deliy cry and be-
came a world famous pitcher
4 gradl1' ei from medical school
and thought very considerably Of going
into practice" said Huber. However.
I found that most OF the young doctors
were nearly starving to death because
the people wouldn't patronize them IN
I'll they got a reputation I needed
money to make both ends meet so I de-
decided TO go into osteOpathy.
Among my first patients were sew
eral ballplayers- Those were the days
when clubs did not carry regular
trainers The ailments o. those first
Few ballplayers were minor ones and
1 fixed them up quickly. They spread
the news to the other players and L
soCn had a large crowd Of baseball
players as my patrons.
The management of the Cincinnati
Reds heard about this and offered me
a contract to train their men exclu-
sively- I accepted and I kept the men
n good shape. When other clubs saw
this they hired trainers and that is
now II came about that all clubs made
a trainer part Of their outfit"
Huber stayed with the Reds for sew
eral years and then returned to private
practice Later on he went back to
baseball again, moving from one club
70 another, and always sought after by
the big league clubs.
ABOUT six years ago decided to
retire permanently to private prac-
uce, but when Bill Phillips, who
was an old pal Of mine when he was
pitching for the Cincinnati Reds. took
charge Of the Federal league club in
Indianapolis I accepted an offer he
made TO me and went with his club.
When the Indianapolis club was trans
ferred to Newark I continued with
the club and / guess III stay as long
as Bill is manager"
Has Treated Fighters.
Huber. during his career covering
more than 30 years. has treated MANY
prize fighters. One Of his patients
was Kid Mccoy.
Mccoy came TO me while in the bev-
aey Of his power" said Huber HE
Ilsu some trouble with his shoulder
muscles that robbed his arm of its fulI
punching power. A Few Treatments
liked up the Kid It was a simnie
job but the Kid always told me that
no one else ever could have done n
and he has been one of nv sres+es+
friends and greatest boosters ever
since" 'S-
