Athletics batted Dan Clancy hard
to register a 6-3 win over the Au-
gusta Millionaires here this evening

braved the wet it was agreed to go
through with the game. 1t was
called after Augusta batted in the
seventh because of darkness.
Bob Adams was hit rather hard
but superb fielding robbed Augusta
of scoring chances. Adams struck
out Davis, Higgins and. Baker in a
row in the second. Norm Savage
and Pat French staged circus catches
in the field, while Jimmy Cole was
alright at short. Morrell drew a
walk in the sixth, Clancy and Small
singled and Higgins banged out a
sacrifice fly for two runs that made
the score 4-3, but Brisk knocked a
ball to the fence with one on in the
last of the inning to sew up the bat
tie. He had circled the bases the
inning before when his hit popped
over Smalls head in center. and
then the throw hoped over Higgins
head at the plate. French got two
runs, two hits, two stolen bases and
two put-outs, rather busy day.

Correct Posture

To stand correctly. place the feet
about six inches apart, with their
middle lines parallel, toes pointing
straight ahead. y good way TO get
the proper vertical line is to stand
with Your back and heels against
the side of the wall and then lean
forward about three or four inches.
The chest should be we'll out, as if
pushing some object in front of it,
the head erect, abdomen fat, neck
we'll up and perpendicular, and
arms hanging loosely on the middle
line of the hips. You will now have
the whole body in proper position
with relation to the natural center
of gravity. placing the weight of the
body on the balls of the feet and not
on the heels.
Keep Your head up. Heads up"
is a symbol for alertness in sports.
for the person who carries his head
in this manner usually is mentally
and physically in better condition
than the one who allows it to droop.
1t actually increases your self
respect and confidence to throw back
your shoulders and straighten your
neck so Your chin will be in. Show
me a person whose head is con-
stantly allowed to sag and will
show you a person who isn't well.
1t is a sure sign that there is some
thing the matter with the muscles
or nerves.
In sitting, push the lower spine
well back in the chair and lean
back so that the body will be in the
position given for correct posture in
standing. Keep the chest out and
the abdomen in. Do not permit the
chest to sink and the abdomen to
come up and meet it; they should
be as far apart as possible.
The feet should point straight
their inner side should he parallel
to and touch an imaginary line
marking the direction of progress.
1t is better to be slightly pigeon
tced than to toe out. There was
once big-league baseball manager
who always usd to ask of scout"
who had discovered a promising
young player: Does he toe in ."
If the answer was in the affirmative,
the manager would make further
inquiries, hut if the negative. he i'm
