BRAINS TAKE THE
PLACE Of SPEED
Cubs and Cardinals Making
Baseball History-Have
Clever Managers.
BY PAUL PURMAN.

The first month of the National
League season has developed two base
ball sensations-sensat because
clubs in question were not expected
to produce anything but second
division berths.
The clubs in question, the Chicago
Cubs and the st. Louis Cardinals. are
making baseball history because they
have brainy managers who are taking
advantage OF every opportunity and
turning breaks into victories.
Neither Is a great ball club. In
fact at the opening of the season both
clubs looked hopeless.
Now having battled each other in
the west. both are winning games In
the east against clubs which during
spring training were regarded as sure
first division prospects.
The rise OF these two clubs together
illustrates the vagaries of baseball.
There Is no similarity In the two
clubs. with the exception that each
has smart manager.
The Cubs may he considered a smart
ball club. but the men who are fur
nishing the brains are for the most
part either too old or too crippled to
play brilliant baseball SO Mitchell Is
making use of their brains to take the
place of the physical deficiencies.
The Cards are made up of young
players, many of them inexperienced
in big league baseball, and Higgins Is
using his brains to get the most out
of his youngsters physical advantages.
Huggins' main problem for the season
is to keep his pitchers going right.
If Meadows, Doak. Watson, Steele
Pierce and Ames can keep going st.
Louis has a good chance to remain In
the first division.
The most ardent Cardinal fan would
not say that the club has n great
pitching staff and II is up to Huggins
to get the most out of what he has.
Mitchell has much better pitching

Douglas and this young Reuther fur

| club will find hard to beat if they get
the proper offensive strength.

Former Giant One of First of
Ball Players to Join
the COl0rS.

one of the first ballplayers OF national
reputation to join the colors was Eddie
Grant, infielder, formerly with the Giants,
Cincinnati Reds and Phillies, who has
been accepted for the officers reserve
corps at Plattsburg.
Grant gave up baseball at the close of
the 1915 season to begin practicing law
in New York.

players as a general rule will not be
found TO be slackers in the great war.
Although he had quit baseball. Grant had
as much at stake as many active players.
He had been practicing law Just long
enough to build up practice which is
sure to be lost while he is at the front
Although Grant was in the National
league for half dozen years and took
part in the last world series between the
Giants and Athletics, he could never be
classed as great ballplayer.
For three years he played third base at
Philadelphia and was sent to Cincinnati.
where he was used as n utility infielder
until traded to New York in 1913.
He was with the Giants in 1913. 1914
and 1915 as a utility infielder and was
| often used'as a pinch hitter or substitute
runner
His best year in baseball was 1914
when he batted .27T in IS games and was
one of the best fielding third basemen in

MILLER HUGGINS
HAS FINE HURlERS

for 10 these many seasons. rises to re-
mark that the flash shown by his pitch
ing STAFF this season is far from being a
flash in the pan
Il have a fine pitching staff.' says
Hug. land collectively I don't believe
there Is staff In the National league
that has anything on them. Look at
this fellow Watson. He's regular
pitcher, and he has been showing op-
posing ball clubs as fine an assortment
of foolers as they want to look at. His
pitching has been a big surprise to some
people in the National league. but 1t is
no surprise to me. Not after | looked

Few muscles are more often
neglected than those of the under
thigh This is largely because of the
average mans habit of slouching along
as he walks.
At West Point the setting-up exer-
cises pay particular attention to these
relatively small but important muscles
The corrective Is to stand with the
feet but few inches apart and to
touch the toes with the tips of the
fingers without bending the knees. 1t
