little less than miraculous that he is able to guide the ball into the palm of his hand through the obstruction of bent fingers.
 Broken fingers don't mean an aw- full lot to me anymore declared Groh. The bones in my hand always have been brittle-eyen when I was a kid. It didn't take much of a jolt or a smash to snap a finger. When I got into baseball it was rarely that I went through a season without suffering one of two fractures. At first this worried men. I feared that sometime or other one of the fractures would put finger out of business complete ly and make it impossible for me to go on with my baseball career. But have been peculiarly fortunate so far in my misfortune inasmuch as no matter how badly bent and twisted my fingers have become. they have not interfered with my ability to scoop Up balls and heave them along to the bases"
 Groh is right about the fact that his crippled hands are no bar to fielding greatness. But in one way they have hindered him. He cannot field ball as cleanly as most players and usually has to knock down a grounder, then pick it up and make sre throw. That's q rather peculiar method and one that wuold seem fatal az far as killing a fast baserunner Is concerned. But Groh can get them across the infield just as quickly-if not little mora so-than the best.of the third sackers. And that's the thing that counts

Groh Stands at Bat In ]
 Most Peculiar Fashion
Heine Claims That He Bats 50 to 75 Points Higher Since Adopting New Stand-Has
 Most Crippled Hands in Game Today
By JAMES J. coRBETr

k The stand of Heinie Groh at the plate is~the most peculiar in baseball. Unlike other right handed batters, who stand with their toe steward first base, Groh has his toes pointed at the pitcher. And Groh, instead of holding his bat over his shoulder in the stereotyped fashion, holds it at sort of half-mast position.
 Groh, among the best hitters in the game today, claims that his style of 3patting has much to do with his clout- ing success. Explaining his stand at } the plate. Groh said:
 T used to hit the old way and like all the rest could only get my left eye on the ball as it was coming up to the plate. I wasn't able to use two eyes to look at that ball. I decided to expe- riment by standing first so that I was facing the pitcher when he threw the ball. I figured that I was fast enough to whirl back to the sideways position. position after I decided to hit at the ball It was rather difficult trick to do at first, but after a time it became easy
 HIT .250 IN OLD WAY
 When I was hitting them the old fashioned way I used to bang the ball for a mark around .250. As soon as I changed the position and was able to get both eyes on the ball. began to hit 'em oftener. l miss only one nowadays where I used to miss four. And I'm not biting at so many wild ones. My bat ting average has increased anywhere from 50 to 75 points since l shifted po- sition."
 Groh's success with this stand has been such that there are many big Aleaguers who are initiating him. Groh's hands are remarkable-be- cause they are the most crippled pair in the game. They are even worse than those of Johnny Kling, who one time was credited with being the champion fracture artist" of baseball.
 Groh has had bones broken in every finger of both hands. Some fingers have been broken three and four times. His right hand has been the particu- lar sufferer There is a fragility about. Groh's finger bones that is remark able. Few men ever have owned more brittle ones.
 Those who have carefully inspected Groh's right hand marvel over the fact that he is still in the game--and one of it's outstanding stars His fingers are SC twisted and bent that some can- not be strengthened out at all. It seems

''PHEN|E" CRANE IS ELECTED CAPTAIN
 OF CENTRAL TEAM
High School Should Have First-Class Team. Opening
 Game Comes Tomorrow

Immediately following the after noons practice the Central High school football squad held a meeting at he Birmingham Athletic club yes- terday and elected Theodore ("Phe- nie') Crane. captain of the high school eleven
 Crane is first-class football player and seems to have cinched the varsity quarterback berth.
 Although rather light. the Central squad promises to develop into a strong, shifty team Coach Burbage to. pick his varsity and will have a strong string of subs As yet only one or two have cinched their berths.
 Central will have a good line this year. Bruce Jones. Toby Stubbs. Shugerman, Tom Jones. Beverly Swango. Earl Tingley, Rox and Bragan are scrapping over the line positions. McNeil seems to have sewed up the center berth.
 In the backfield the pivotal position is practically decided in favor Of Crane but Hood is putting up a mighty good fight himself. This is Cranes second year with the Central team. Steele Reynolds, Coplan, Mi gren. Afford. Mims and Robertson are IlSnllnS over the ndlIDdCk pOSltiOHS, while Gaylord and Robinson are alter hating at fullback. When developed. this backfie1d should be able to cope with that of any high school in this district.
 The first game on the Central sched- ,ule will be played tomorrow Satur- day, with the Morgan County High team The Morganites are said to be fast, weighty team and their back CTS express their belief that their favorites will win from the Central bunch
