 A Memphis scribe says the Pelcans will be up against it for hurlers during the first month or two of the season, meaning that all of Dobbs moundsmen are midsummer singers, who can only work when the thermometer is batting paround the 90 mark. Hub Perdue's con- tract is said to allow him rest until June, while Dick Robertson, Buck Weaver and Bill Bailey are never in form until Old Sol gets his rays at the proper angle. -

Maximum results come from physical training if certain simple rules concern ing rythm of movement, regularity. cor rect breathing and bathing and relaxa- tion are observed
 For those who have decided to indulge in the exercises embraced in my article or last Sunday, 1 want 10 supply the fol- lowing suggestions:
 The exercises must be performed each and every day-and for the same period Of time each day. Do not perform them spasmodically. Exercising 15 minutes one day, skipping the next two days and then exercising for 45l minutes on the third day. is not the propert thing. Eff teen minutes day-every day. That's it.
 Cut into the exercises as much rythm as possible. Go through each with pre- cision and completeness-not snappily or in a jerky way. Do them carefully and with free, easy swing of the body.
 Correct breathing at all times is vital Inhale through the nose-never through the mouth. Whenever you draw in a breath take it in to the complete capaci- ty of the lungs
 When exhaling, do it through the mouth and with force
 Correct exhalation is just as important as knowledge of the proper way to in- hale. Deep breathing will not do you very much good if you take in big quan- ties of oxygen and then exhale only part of the foul air. Whenever you exhale, clear out the lungs entirely of all the foul air. Forceful exhalation is the way to do it.
 It is advisable in performing tho exer- cises at all times that you have as much fresh air as possible. You should leave the windows of your room open at night and keep them open while you are do- ing the eXercises-provided you do them in your home. If you do not stand in a draft while you are doing the exercises, the fact that the windows are open while you are exercising, will not cause you to take cold. The fresh aid will do more good for you and less harm than if you kept the windows shut.
 Another important factor is reaxa-

tion. Keep in mind the fact that the muscles of the body are much like a rubber band. If you stretch the rubber and let it relax to normal occasionally, it will keep it's elasticity for a long time. But should you keep the rubber stretched for an indefinite period, without any re- taxation, the life of the rubber soon is gone.
 It is the same way with the muscles. If you continue to strain them they soon tire and you come to experience a sense of weariness. But if you relax the muscles after every few exercises even though it is for only a second or two-you will always find them ready to perform the next duty without pro- test
 You can judge best as to how much relaxation you need while performing the exercises At first you will need considerable relaxation simply because you are calling into play muscles which heretofore have done little or no work. But as the muscles get stronger the re- taxation periods can be shortened and made fewer in number.
 A bath always should follow the ex- ercises whenever it is possible In ex- ercising you expel some of the waste from the system through the pores of the skin. The expelled matter clings to the exterior of the body and should be washed away by bathing.
 A shower bath always is preferable because by this method of bathing you are not using any stagnant water as is the case in a tub bath. But if you have no shower bath and can use only tub bath, do so, but be sure to rinse the body thoroughly at the finish with clear water.
 It may happen that you are in place where it Is impossible for you to take either shower or a tub bath. In such case provided bathing at that time is possible, take a sponge bath. By this I mean that a basin or a bowl can be filled with water and the body can be sponged off
 A cold bath is advisable. But for per sons who cannot stand cold baths, one in lukewarm water is all right. At the con clusion of the bath it is well to rinse the body with cold water. This should be done because when the hot or warm water is used it has the tendency to open the pores. If the pores remain open when a person gets into the outer air, there is the likelihood of catching cold. The use of cold water closes up the pores and prevents the possibility of talk ing cold.
 These simple rules outlined in this ar tfcle can be followed without much trou- ble and should help considerably in ben efitting those who have started perform ing the exercises which were outlined in my article of Sunday, March 2.

SPORTING SQU|BS

The announcement from Memphis to the effect that several Dixie club owners favored 154-game season will be hailed with delight by fandom here who are baseball hungry after years fast from the national pastime. President Smith declares that Birmingham will certainly favor a long season at the New Orleans meeting and that many other clubs have written him stating their intention of doing likewise.
 Mike F'inn's schedule providing for the opening game on April 24 will in all prob ability be adopted with few revisions at the league meeting. Local club own CTS would vote against an earlier start but relish the idea of continuing the proposed 140-game programme for two weeks longer into the fall. With Nash vile, Atlanta, Memphis, Little Rock and Birmingham advocating the long route it is very likely to pass New Orleans favcrs long season too, but the Peli- can mogules want to start two weeks earlier, which is not desirable under present conditions.
 There seems to be quite difference of opinion among the league directors as to the desirablity of the rule limiting each club to seven Class men. This rule was adopted at the December meeting here and unless all eight clubs agree to it's abolition, it will stand for the sea- son. President Smith favors reducing the number of youngsters to be carried to four or five. and some such compro- mise may be reached at the meeting March 27.
 
 President Sloan and Manager Roy Ellam of the Nashville Vols are taking stock to see what they'll need this sea son. Those Vols who have been asked to
