The weather was just like summer, no

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE passing of
Ping Bodio to the minors Is n lesson
to all aspiring ball players. The only
reason for the failure Of the famous
ex-SoX was his own negligent habits.
He is a player of more than ordinary
ability, but his utter disregard of con-
dition. made him an impossibility in the
big leagues
If Bode had taken it upon himself
to keep in playing shape he could un-
doUbtedly have been as lean and lank
as Ty Cobb, although not gifted with
the same amount OF speed. AS base
runner Ping resembled young ele-
phant trying to get under cover.
Every spring the biggest task the Sox
manager faced was to get Ping to work
hard enough to get himself in playing
shape After winter Of banqueting
and idleness the Italian hero would
show up with twenty or thirty POUNDS
more weight than he had when he iefl
the previous fall, and it would De I'M
possible for him to work it OIL IN tiihe
for the season to start.
The rubber-Shirt treatment was useu
on Ping and he was forced to take lofe
runs over the California hills ever! daS
during the stay in Paso Robles. Even
that drastic treatment did not reduce
to bring him back to Chicago in good
playing condition. If Ping had worked
a little right along during the winter ne
would have been in shape each spring.
For the young player coming up from
the minors who hopes to break into the
headlines Bodies case is a practical
demonstration of how to be failure
Some players find it harder than others
| to keep themselves in condition. To
| those who take on weight easily 1t
should be a much stronger lesson than
| to others.
Bodie had good appetite. which he
| did not try TO hold down at any time.
| If he had kept himself on a diet he
| would have had very little trouble with
| his weight. AS a minor Lacquer he
gets too heavy to play at all. Bodic' $
| failure as hitter last summer was
| nothing more than his inability to get
| down to normal weight. His arms would
not swing in the right place because OF
| the fat.
Another type Of ball player who

ster is Heinc Zimmerman. Although
| Heile Is too good to slip back into the
| minors, he is far from being the player

| should be the envy Of every manager
