FORREST CADY PEEVED
AT SHIFT TO MACKMEN

DETROIT, Feb. 22.--Forrest Cady.
the Red Sox catcher. is peeved at
being included in the shift of Boston
players to the Mackmen, according to
Jack Callahan, an actor and intimate
friend of the big backstop.
Forrest told me a short while back
that he would be in navy blue II he
was sent to the Athletics" said Cal
lahan. He feels that baseball In Phil
ly is going to be the linz with all the
stars disposed of, and he doesn't want
to be identified with a cellar outfit. At
that Cady didn't want to stay with the
Red Sox because he wasn't worked
often enough to keep him in trim, and
would have welcomed . change to any
other club but the Mack layout.

It's a somewhat roundabout way Of

There's plenty Of Confederation OF

however, that 1t Is by no means q

themselves under Beckett's tINsiaEa.
Gray Heads At Work.
Looking down from the gym ball
cony as one OF the IL 80, 1880 OF 3:la
o'clock groups Is going through its
evolutioas, one sees a great many
more gray heads than not, Exscu-
tives whose sedentary lives ordinarily
would insure stif joints and fabby
muscles In men of their age, from
forty to sixty, are beheld going
through q set Of difficult calesthen-
les with the pep" of a crack Tegi-
ment In their medicine ball and
volley ball contests. their sprints
about the indoor track, and their wa
ter feats they rival men from hfteep
to twenty-five years younger.
As an example OF what this train
ing has ,dnnes take the case Of one
Government official who entered a
class IN SaIGnber. The Arst few
days his Efforts to make the oneztenth
of a mile, or two laps, about the
track at anything better than a slow
jog were painful to watch. Now he
does his quarter or half with ease
and is breathing little harder than
when he began.
These business and professional
mems classes took a leap in popular
ity; last -5fsT when Attorney General
Gregory became one of the devotees.
It Is practically assured that he'll re-

to insist on a RooseYeltian strenuous
ness.
You kill them before they start,
that way" he said. These exercises
are not designed to turn muscles into
iron, increase chest expansion three
inches or anything of that nature.
They are to make red blood build up
faded tissue, to reYitalize worn
nerves, TO take years off shoulders
which bear great weights Of gov
ornamental and commercial response
bility. And they're doing it,"
That Beckett's classwork is not
beer and s6ittles," however, is dem
onstrated by the first few days out
for neophytes. A very sore set of
muscles is almost inevitably the re-
suit OF the exercises at the outset.
This applies just as strongly in the
case Of the many army officers en-
rolled. On staff and departmental
duty here, the famous Vast Point set
up has slumped and the sprinSiness
OF marching and camp days has de-
parted. They get it back under

SEVERED IL = HoIdout.
Hank SEVERED, the Brownies hard
working backstOp, is a real holdout
this spring. From his home in Story
city. Iowa, he announces that his en-
. deavors last summer deserve far bet
Ter financial treatment than they have
: been given. Until his salary figures
: suit him, he says he will remain at
home.
SEVERED was an iron man last year,
catching 1S9 games and equaling
Schalk's total. His batting mark of
265 led all catchers who were con-
sidered regulars. He played whether
sick or well, whether it was hot or
cold, and never whimpered. He even
went up in the pinch four times and
delivered the goods twice.
Dave Davenport, the big pitcher,
Is also a holdout. When the Federal
League collapsed Davenport was left
high and dry without a contract. He

work last season entities him to bet
