GOOD HEALTH
ESSENTIAL TO
BUSINESS MAN
This Is Attitude of
Nezu York Curb
Market.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922, by The August
Keeping fit has taken on new
aspect in thees days, indeed! The
curb market has installed physi-
cal department and in its statement
says that it believes good health is
essential to the highest business eff
ficiency and that to this end the de-
partment has been organized and
DR.. John S. Billings appointed to
have charge.
Among the things those who are
going out into the open in warm
weather should bear in mind, is
heat stroke. After months of pro-
lection and inaction one cannot
plunge into violent exercise in a
hot sun even if. youth is on ones
side. If you happen to be middle
aged and carry surplus weight
around your waist line it is the
more risky.
Begin your exposure gradually
Train up to it by degrees, wearing
cool clothes and cutting down on
meat diet. Add plenty of vegeta-
bles and fruits to your menu. In
this way you will have a real vaca-
ton and not a siege of sickness.
Shakespeare speaks of the un-
willingness of the boy to go to
school and from time immemorial
this has been regarded as an attri-
butte of youth. But modern times
seem to be changed even in this re-
spect, for in Juarez last week, sew
eral hundred school boys stormed
the city hall. demanding that the
school, which had been closed,
should be reopened.
j. H. Taylor. recognized the
world over for years as the best
exemplar of the high mashie shot,
has become affected by the success
of the pitch and run and on our
American courses he has been 60
ing for the greens in that most
modern fashion just as did Ray
when he was over here.

League Today.

Chicago, July 27.-There may be
a hot time in the old town tonight
This was evidenced yesterday
when Ban johnson, president of
the American league, announced
that the recent trade between New
York and Boston would be one OF
the main questions up for discus
sion before a special meeting of
the league called for today at noon
at the Congress hotel. 1t was err

The trade by which the Red Sox
exchanged Joe Dugan and Elmer

pitcher yet to be named. has arous-
ed unfavorable sentiment toward
mid-season deals Of this character.
Mr.. Johnson said. While he point
ed out that the clubs were within
their rights in making the deal be-
cause Aug. is at present the final
date for concluding such negotia-

Nov York, July H.-Benny
Leonard's unusual loquacity regard
ing his battle with Lew Tender
which marked the progress Of his
training for the big fight was of
course intended for NO purpose
other than getting Tenders goat.
It was a fight in psychology which
few fighters attempt these days,
leaving such things to their man
ayers. OF course. it is certain that
anything manager may say about
what his meal ticket is going to do
to his opponent has little influence
ON anyone.
But when q man such AZ Leon
ard, who has keen brain, begins
to lay on the stuff the outcome is
interesting to watch. Benny's line
has consisted not so much in telling
the world how good he was but
how punk Lew Tender was. He
has not only said Lew was punk
but he has laid down a series of
definite reasons as basis for his be-
lief.
What effect this has had upon a
reticent, brooding sort Of chap
like Tender is problematical, but
the expression upon his face as he
read the food Of Leonard interviews
indicated that they were not alto
gether glancing on his skin. At
least one may admir- tn rsrv hunu
least one may admire the reserve
he has maintained in the face of the
food Of ridicule flowing from Budd's
lake.
Modern fighters as a rule do not
belittle their opponents. There is
of course a financial reason in this
since no battler wants to crab his
show. And, again, the old habit Of
personal r4ncnf has given place to
a more businesslike attitude. As
to Leonard he knows nothing he
can say that will keep down the
attendance and he never has had
any love for the southpaw Phila-
delphian.

ALL MISSOURI
WANTS TO SEE.
WORLD SERIES
Bequests for Tickets Begin Flood.
ing I'm on Owners of St.
Louis Browns.
By JOHN B. FOSTER.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.

Copyright, 1922, by The August
New York, July 27.-Enough APP
plications have been received at
the Office of the st. Louis Browns
to take care OF practically all of
their reserved seat capacity for the
world series. St. Louis isn't
blessed with the most ample stands
In the world nor with the largest
ground and playing field. Somebody
is going to be disappointed if the
world series is played in st. Louis
but it won't be anybody of the state
of Missouri who will be passed by
for some one from the blase east.
Out that way they think. the east
has had enough world series to be
willing to forego one show to the
Mississippi river valley.
The Ohio valley has had its
whack at a world series. Chicago
has munched on a slice at which
the northwest was taken care of,
and If it. so happens that the Mis-
sissippi and the Missouri river
settlers get a chance this year to
break their long fast the owners of
the St. Louis ball clubs are going
to see that the settlers "get theirs"
first of all. No championship ever
has graced Kerry Patch since the
days of the Comiskey Browns.
There's no consolation in remem7s
bering that it was the Comiskey
team for it was one of the best and
gamest championship organizations
Of its kind.
II all the boxes were laid away
for which subscription has been
asked not one would be left at st.
Louis. They'll have to build hang
ing gallery and suspend it from the
clouds to provide seating capacity
enough for the river folks who are
"just fairly Dustin their sides to
shout"
Not less than 10000 new seats
will have to be provided in some
way to meet the demand for them.
That might not be enough on the
first day but the chances are that
tickets will not be sold for less than
four games. 1t Is asking too much
to make any baseball club undertake
any other plan and if a move is made
to sell seats for single games the
spectators will reap such harvest
as never the grasshoppers reaped
when they went through Kansas
corn.
Branch Hickey can't understand
why his st. Louis team can't win
away from home. When the Cardi-
nails are on their lease which they
borrow from the Browns they man
age to make st. Louis the center of
the nation at intervals. When they
get away from home it takes them
a week or SO to get over being
travel worn.

An American tennis expert who
spent the spring and early summer
weeks in England set forth today
for the writer his theory as to the
decline Of high class lawn tennis
In that country. decline admitted
by Englishmen and only too appar-
ent to foreign players of stature
who visit the courts of Albion.
Grass courts! This, says the Amer
lean observer, is the source of Eng
lands trouble. Only when a turf
playing surface is not possible does
the Englishman or the English club
turn to hard, dirt courts. They are
spreading in England. if only for
the reason that grass is not always
practicable, but they are looked
upon with suspicion and are held
to be not strictly good form.
The result is, according to the
American, that in thus bowling
slavishly to tradition, a majority of
English men and women play upon
courts that are not true. that often
are not kept in the best condition,
and even when maintained in first
class shape are subject to atmos-
pheric influences.
In this country the average
youngster learns the game upon a
clay court, and we all know that
the land of asphalt courts, Califor-
mia, has produced in recent years
some of the brightest stars in the
worlds tennis armament. All the
crack American players begin the
season upon dirt, working up to
the turf courts about July 1, and
thereafter, Of course, not returning
to the hard courts until after the
championship season is over. So
with the continental countries that
have gone in for tennis. A uniform
bound, firm surface, are always
characteristic of the good hard
court, but not Of the turf court.
While on the subject OF England
one may imagine the emotions OF
Georges Michel, the French aspir-
ant to the Daily Sketch prize OF
$4,000 to be bestowed upon the first
man swimming the English chan
mel, when he was landed upon the
English coast by a launch which
had picked him up in an exhausted
condition of the south foreland
lightship. Michel attempted the
feat with NO clothing of any sort
And thus lightly attired stepped
from the launch to the beach only
to be accosted by an English Off.

Chicago, July 27.-(By the AS
sociated Presa) Kenneth Will
liams. outfield star of the st. Louis
Americans, is sacrificing his ambi-
ton to be the leading home-run
hitter Of the American. league this
season, because Of his desire to
give every ounce Of his playing
ability to the Browns in their
struggle for the pennant.
This was the statement today of
Walter Fritsch, vice president of
the St Louis club. here to attend
the American league meeting.
Fritsch said that Williams, in his
desire to establish the home-run
record for the season, realized that
he was not giving his full value to
the club.
