An Enlarged Heart

A few years ago Cobb was examined by an expert in Atlanta, Ga. This man discovered Cobb had unusually large veinp and an enlarged heart. Cobb had exercised for years, ever since early boyhood. He condition was a natural result of that exercise. The doctor told him there was no imme- diate danger but warned him of serious consequences if he ever quit playing.
 On the day Cobb quits active play he will start a course of daily exercises to prevent a "collapse" of the veins. He intends to continue these exercises. Cobb told his plans to Fred Clarke, who managed Pittsburg the year that Fthe Pirates beat Cobb and the Tigers for the world championship. Clarke then related his own experience to Cobb. Clarke quit exercising when he quit baseball and soon after his heart began troubling him. He consulted physi- clan. The doctor told him his heart was bad. He told Clarke to report for daily treatments, but after a week Clarke's heart was not improved.
 Clarkehs Experience
 The doctors office was three blocks from a car line and the doctor was always at his office promptly at 9 o'clock 80 by being in the office before Clarke was assured of being first called and avoiding waits in the office.
 One morning it was exactly 9 o'clock when Clarke got off the car. Not want ing to be late he ran to the doctors office. Examining Clarke a few min utes later the doctor exclaimed: "Your heart action is perfect this morning. My treatments must be doing you lot of good" So each morning for week Clarke ran three blocks to the doctors office and was told that his heart action was perfect One morning he walked and the doctor discovered Clarke's heart was bad again, just as bad as the day he came to him. So Clarke told the doctor what he had been doing and the doctor prescribed a set of daily exercises for Clarke. His heart trouble disappeared, permanently.
 Men who engage in sports enlarge the heart because of the action de- manded of the heart. And they natur- ally enlarge the veins. The same is true of the lungs. The more the athlete exercises and the greater demand made on the lungs, the larger they become. When the athlete retires the heart, veins and lungs collopse because only the normal parts of each organ are used. The result of this collapse is often fatal.
 And Cobb is prepared to escape the same fate.

 Hagen Said
 I'll never forget a wet, blustery aft ernoon at the Rockaway Hunt club, Far Rockaway, L. l., last spring. About 100 golfers of the Metropolitan district were competing in a one-day "get together" tournament under the auspices of the Professional Golfers association We went around in foursomes, my mates happening to be Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell and Jimmy West, the latter being the local professional.
 Now this tournament had more than usual interest for me. Some months pre- vious I had undergone an operation. I had entered the competition at the Rockaway Hunt club to find out if the operation had rid me of the ter rible handicap that had weighed me down for years.
 Vastly Better
 Before play began, 1t seemed to me that my condition was vastly better. As the 1S-hole round progressed, events confirmed the impression. I made a "A, four strokes more than was re- quired by Hagen, the eventual winner, but all the time was conscious of that mental and physical vigor and balance which enables a man to manu- facture his shots as he wishes.
 The National Open championship at Oakland Hills, Detroit, was but a few weeks away. In my mind an impression

BUCKY HARRIS
 TO STAND PAT
Outfield And Infield Of Senators To Remain
 
 Same

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Bucky Harris will stand pat with his worlds 8 championship baseball combination.
 When the Senators take the field April 15, the same fielders will be at their posts as finished the season vic- torious in the American league and against the Giants last fall. Roger Peckinpaugh will be at his place in the short field-he has sent word to Harris that his leg, injured in the big series, is completely healed and ready for work-Ossie Bluge will be back at third, Joe Judge at first and Bucky himself at second.
 There will be no switch in the out field. Earl McNeely, whose two-base last thrilling encounter of the worlds series, will be in center, Goose Goslin in left and Sam Rice in right field.
 When it comes to pitchers, the changes will be in additions, not sub fractions. Walter Johnson will pitch the opening game and take his turn dur ing the season, according to present in dications. His deal for a Pacific Coast club fell through and it looks now as if he will be back. Zachary and Mog- EIuSct Olu yOuhS uAoA oOChAJ the demon relief hurler will be on deck.
 The newcomers are Stan Coveleskie, late of Cleveland, Dutch Reuter-, of Brooklyn, and Vean Gregg, star of an- other day, rescued from the minors. All three are hardened veterans and some say beyond their prime.
 Two Star Recruits
 To critics who rap Harris for starting an old mans home," Bucky retorts:
 Il have won the high honors in base ball and now l must defend them. It was necessary to get pitchers who could give me immediate results, and believe 1 have succeeded"
 Harris will have two promising youngsters on his mound staff-George Kelly, winner with Memphis last sea- son, and Benson Brilliant, who was with the Senators two years ago. The redoubtable Muddy Ruel and young Bernard Tate will be on the receiving end of the slants offered up by Sena- torial tossers.
 One tender spot that almost cost Washington the series has not been overlooked. Mike McNally, ex-Yankee, will bolster up the infield if Peck's leg fails to come through.

grew that for the first time in years I was going to have a real chance to win it.
 Walking up the sixteenth fairway, I decided to get Hagen's opinion.
 'Tell me, Walter," said, "don't you think, after what you've seen to- I want you to be serious in your emf day, that my game has improved I want you to be serious in your answer"
 Cyril" said Walter, and his words for me were unforgetable, Eff you can hold yourself together and last through 72 holes, you're going to win the cham pionship because you've got all the abilities"
 He paused and added jokingly:
 You're the best golfer that I've played with-excepting myself"
 Thanks for that" said, but it would not have been possible for me to express my appreciation for the reas- surance he had given me. went back to my home club, the EnglewOOd, at Englewood, N. J., with a new vision of the future. And as I prepared for the big event at Detroit, my feeling of confidence grew.

 Greatest Play Ever Saw
By WALLY SCHANG Catcher Of World Champion Yankees


 A great play does not necessarily have to be a bit of brilliant fielding It can just as we'll be a sparkling bit of brain-work or daring base-running It was in that vein that can mark bit of work by Ty Cobb as fine from the viewpoint of the player at least -as anything have seen.
 The Tigers were playing the Yankees Cobb was on first base by virtue of a clean single. Heilmann shot hard hit to center field. Whitney Witt, our center fielder, dashed in, scooped the ball up, aud threw to Ward, who was covering second.
 Instead of stopping at the keystone, Ty dashed on to third without hesitat- ing. In the fractional bit of time as he reached second he had figured out exactly what had happened. He knew that Witt was not a powerful thrower like Bob Meusel. Ward, with his foot on the bag, had his back to the infield, and would have to turn completely around after making the catch.
 So, as he doped it out, he had an ex- cellent chance of picking up an extra base.
 Things turned out exactly as he fig ured. Whitney chucked the ball to Ward exactly as every center fielder would, not burning the throw in, for he knew that he had no chance of catch ing Cobb there. And, while the ball was in the air, Ty turned second, and lit out for third.
 Ward handled the ball cleanly, turned as speedily as possible, and burned the ball to Dugan, but Cobb beat it by a fine fall-away slide. The stands ap- plauded the play as neat bit of base

 Throughout his career Ty Cobb de- voted study and attention to physical welfare. He studied foods and got to know their nutritive values. He studied the science of work and the science of rest.
 Cobb experimented with himself, learned how much rest he needed and saw that he got it. He shaped his daily program so that he would be at maximum physical ability when he took the field in the afternoon. He recharged his nerve and muscular batteries be- tween games sce that he would be in perfect condition for the mental and physical test that from two to three hours competition would demand.
 Several years ago Cobb told news paper editor that he owed his long and strenuous career to 12 hours sleep out of each 24. He spent one-haH his life sleeping. Before that Thomas A. Edi- son had said that he slept four out of 24 hours and worked 20. A famous French scientist, years before Edison, slept 20 hours out of every 24 and worked four. Cobb had discovered that some people need more sleep than others and decided that he needed more because he went at greater speed and spent more nerve and muscle tissue than the vast majority of people. Cobb spent more in two hours than the average ball player spends in week.
 It was a good newspaper story, that one about the 12 hours sleep each day but Cobb did not mean 1t exactly that way. Still, it served well for publicity purposes and Cobb got great deal of publicity out of it. The question of sleep is ever an interesting one and newspapers hopped to the idea with Cobb giving it new impetus.
 What Cobb really meant was that he managed to rest 12 hours out of each 24. Not the entire 12 was taken up by sleep, part by lOunging. But for 12 ohurs in every 24 Cobb aimed to give his body perfect relaxation. And in this relaxation is found one of the chief reasons for Cobb's long career.
 As he protected his career and pro- longed it so Cobb plans to protect himself when his playing days are ended. He has decided on a system that will insure him for future years
 Men that indulge in strenuous ath- letics. and who quit suddenly invariably pay heavy price. Lung or heart trouble usually descends upon the man who retires from sport. Cobb intends to protect both heart and lungs.
