EYES
Yankee Boss Pleased at
Fighting Qualities Of
Rookie.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Man ager
Higgins in rebuilding for 1926 is
seeking good baseball dispositions"
above all else. He is studying Mark
Kocnig's disposition more than his
batting and fielding. A players base
ball disposition is something that
cannot be determined at once. 1t
takes observation over a course Of
games to see how the subject reacts
to various situations.
LIKES DISPOSITION.
"Hug" likes Koenig's disposition
from what he has already observed
of the 21-year-old s.. Paul shortstop
in five major league contests. Koenig
has made several errors but they are
excusable on the ground of nervous
ness. Besides. they seem only to have
made Koenig go in and hustle the
harder. Koenig seems soundlv
equipped to be good mechanical
player.
He is no whirlwind in running, but
he is big, rangy. strong fellow built
to stand up under hard service. He
has confidence in himself. He grows
at himself every day for not getting
more hits: he growls when he Is
tagged out sliding. He hates any kind
of n setback.
VERSATILE.
His best quality is his turn-around
versatility in batting and his ability
to spank sOuthpaws. Recently he got
three hits out Of four times up off
Lefty Groves. OF course any real YER
diet on his major league worth is pre-
mature at this time, but he has made
q good initial IMPRESSION.

"Once that truth is accepted, the
next thing TO get over she continued,
lis the general care of the body. Most
of the points are already SO well
known that we only lapse into plati-
tudes when we re-enumeratc them.
But as long as they are necessary as
n prelude to any series of, physical
culture lessons, l will name them over
briefly:

3. Sleep outdoors if possible and if

4. Learn TO relax. Do so for at
least a short period every day. Tight
en- up every muscle in your body, take
q deep breath, then gradually let
YOUR whole body relax. Forget the

all and build n couple of air castles.

5. Wash your 5air when it needs
it. There's no set rule. Oil hair OF
ten; dry hair less often, but don't
let it get limp and sticky. Take care
of your teeth. Keep vision of your.
self wearing them in water at night,
before you to act as an added spur.
Battle your eyes every morning in
boracic acid solution. Take an oil rub
down once a week. Wear as few
clothes as possible and none that
pinch or irritate. Drink glass of hot
water every morning before breakfast.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-"MeH De
back in 1926 hopeful OF doing better"
said Max Decugis, captain of the
French Davis Cup team at the con-
clusion of the challenge round in
Philadelphia. Decugis. keen student of
lawn tennis and in his day one Of
the greatest opponents of the modern
all court game, pointed out that Bo-
rotra and Lacoste had a long career
ahead Of them while Tilden and
Johnston. mainstays of the American
team, were near the finish of their
careers.
ELATED AT SHOWING.
He also stated that Henri Cochet,
brilliant young French star, would be
a member of the team next year. with
Lacostc. Cochet and Borotra as the
active members of the combination
Decugis believes he will have an out
fit that can relieve the United States
of the famous International trophy.
Both Decugis and Borotra were elat-
cd at their showing against the NOR"
experienced American players in the
challenge round. Ii was the first time
in the history of the game that Q
French team reached the challenge
round and their close matches against
both Tilden and Johnston would seem
to indicate that they are to be serious
challengers next year.
Decugis also let it be known that
he will bring Suzanne Lcnglen with
the team next year. Not few of thc
critics believe that with Suzanne as
member of the invading team, the cup
might we'll be carried back to our sis
ter republic. Certain it is that the
French girl knows as much tennis as
any man in the game and although
she would be playing under a hand
lean against the male stars it would
be almost a sure fire bet that she
could hold her own.
SUZANNE COMING.
With the arrival of Mile. Lengler
in this country next year the much
talked Of match between her and
Helen Wills will become reality. Fo;
several seasons the officials of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa
ton have been endeavoring to entics
the temperamcntal Wimbledon winner
to this country but always she has
declined on the ground that the trip
and change of climate bothers her
form. She has never stated what both
cred her last year when Helen was
over there playing in the OlympicS
but anyway the match never did come
off.

TERRIFIC HITTER.

The new Robin infielder is labeled
as the Sultan of Swatters in the Mi
nor Leagues" because of his long-dis-
lance hitting ability. He holds long
distance clouting records on two dia-
monds. so far as records have it. While
with the York club in spring train
ing at Portsmouth, Va, in 1924, Bis
sOnette hammered the pellet dis
lance of 3j4 feet, a new record on
that field. This year the York first
sacker cleared the center field score
board on the York grounds, feat
never before accomplished.

UNHERALDED.

Bissonette came to York unheralded
in the spring of 1924, seeking job
as either pitcher or first baseman. He
advised Manager Frank Dessau, for
mer Brooklyn pitcher, that he once
had trial with the Cleveland Indians
on the mound. but his throwing arm
failed him. Then he was shipped to
the Portland club on the Pacific coast.
Because Portland was too far from his
home Del" did not report to the club
the next season, but instead he came
to York.
The player showed wonderful form,
but York already had n regular first
baseman from the season before, so
Dessau sent him TO the Binghampton
club, which needed a first sacker. Bis
sonnette Outclassed the York first base
man and when the 1925 season open
ed he was recalled and he immediate
ly became the teams star.

Chairman Brown in his address
emphasized that the Jew in America

greater Self-respect" than ever before.
Mr.. Brown vigorously protested what
he characterized as false rumors that
Jews in Russia were not participant
ing in a greater era of prosperity in
that country because they did not
wish to become tillers of the soil.
In asserting that his race had repre-
sentative farmers in every State in the
Union, Mr. Brown predicted that with
in 10 years there will be more Jews
on the land farms) in proportion to
the population than any other people
in the country" In this connection
Mr.. Brown cited himself as the owner
of five farms in Michigan, and caused
