MUELLER AIMS.
To ADD TEN :.
POUNDS
By SID C. KEENER.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20.-Clarenee
Mueller may not be a mental giant,
but don't think he is as dumb as he,
acts at times. He is going out to
add ten pounds to his athletic frame
this winter and there's a reason,
Heine's reason.
Mueller offers this argument:
There were many wallops last
summer that were yard or so
short of clearing those right field
barriers. Give me ten more pounds,
mostly up there in the muscles
around the shoulders, and the boys
will be reading about Clarence Muel-
Ter as a home run king"
: Not bad at that!
So far. Clarence reports that he
has reached the halfway mark; he
has gained five pounds since the
season closed. He has refused nu-
merous offers for employment On the
inside this winter, but he wants the
fresh air.
Mueller is a great prospect.
He's young and he knows how to
hit.
While Branch Hickey may kick
his shins occasionally in handling
many members of the Cardinals, he
knows how to bring Clarence along.
Rick appreciates the natural ability
in Mueller. And it's there. It's
just a question of having it come
out on the open surface.
There are several sarcastic MEM
bers of the Knotholers who delight
in poking fun at Clarence. They
ride him verbally on the ball field.
At least they did down in Florida
last spring until hickey called q
special meeting one morning and
shouted:
II want everybody in camp to lay
off Heine!'
Mueller should not be more than.
a year away in becoming a great
ball player.

Bowlers are warming to the Feb
ruary tournament, which will be
the first for individuals ever
staged by the city association. The
bowler who wins will be lucky.
Only five games will be rolled and
only those who happen to be in
good form on a particular night
will have a chance to win. Hence,
the victor may consider himself
fortunate.
But even though a title won in
such tournament would carry
little or no prestige, it would serve
We'll enough as a starter for such
competition as Harry Krauss had

may be having a squirt. A bowler's

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Postmas- ter General Dr. Hubert Work has recommended to President Harding that the selection of postmasters should no longer be considered a political prerequisite of Senators and Representatives, but vested in the post office department alone
 Dr. Work, who retires March 1 to become Secretary of Interior, in mak- ing his recommendations said the present regulations requiring candi- dates to be examined for postmaster ships by the civil service commission. be abandoned
 "The Post Office Department is strictly a business organization and ought to be aided in putting the right man in the right place as in any oth- CT private business" said Dr. Work. His chance for his own advance ment will not then be handicapped either by political considerations or restrictions entailed by the present plan requiring examinations by the civil service commission which does not give civil service status,' con cluded the Postmaster General.
