NATURAL BATsMAN

Al Simmons of the Philadelphia
Athletics is one of the best natural
batsmen in baseball today. In his
second year in the majors he aver
aged. 1886, concrete proof of his abil-
ity.
Despite a stance and style contra
ry to all baseball conventions, Sim
mons is one of the most. feared hit
ters in the league. Prone to pull
away badly from the plate, he man
ages to get em safe.
Due to his habit of pulling, Sim
mons last year was regarded as a
dead left-field hitter. He has over
come that habit and now hits to all
fields. Recently on the hit and run
in one game, I saw him twice hit
through the spot vacated by the sec
ond baseman who was covering.
This greatly improves his team
value, since he is much harder to
play.

urally, hydro electric power was at

an extent that the farmer was none
too cheerful over the prospect. The
situation also had it's effect on realty

not buy power.

TIMELY RATTERS S

The real value of a players bat
ting average is largely determined
by his ability to drive in runs in a
pinch.
Champion batters are not always
the best in the big crisis. In this
respect Rogers Hornsby of the st.
Louis Cardinals is the exception. Not
only did he lead the National League
in batting last season but also in
runs batted in as we'll.
In the American league l can think
of no more timely batsman than Earl
Sheely of the Chicago White Sox. In
a pinch he is a more dangerous bats
man than many with a better mark.
Bob Meusel is equally capable.
American league pitchers have a
keen respect for the batting prowess
of Sheely and Meusel with runners
on the bases.

When things break badly for a
ball club there seems to be no end OF
the hard luck that can camp on its
trail.
Handicapped almost from the very
start of the season by illness and in
juries, the ST. Louis Browns have
unearthed about every possible way
there is to lose ball games.
No member of the ST. Louis pitch
ing staff has been more unfortunate
in this respect than Milt CASTOR, the
sterling righthander.
No hurler in the American league
has more stuff, yet he has been unable
to win consistently. I have seen
CASTOR lose at least four games

MOST VALUABLE ARM

Who has the best throwing arm
among the outfielders in the Ameri-
can league was a question recently
put to me-
Without much hesitation 1 would
say that Bob Meusel of the New
York Yankees had the most valuable
arm.
1t is just possible there might be
one or two outfielders who can throw
the ball a greater distance but 1 doubt
it, Meusel not only gets great dis
tance but remarkable accuracy to his
throws. He is a right handler.
Speaking of left-handed throwers
it would be difficult to overlook the
arm of iris Speaker, veteran out
fielder of the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker still gets great distance
and uncanny accuracy to his heaves

LONDON, June Livery little fash
ion shop in London is having court
of it's own. Debutantes who expect
to be presented at Buckingham pal
ace in June are having abundant OPP
portunity to get advance ideas foi
court costumes. Handsome manne-
quins wear court gowns in all the
leading fashion houses and bow before
imaginary queens, demonstrating eX-
actly how the robes will look when
worn before the throne.
Most of the debutantes will appear
this year at court in white. Next
in favor is pale pink. Many other
colors also are to be used. But all
of them are in very delicate shades.
Great quantities of silver and gold
lace are shown on practically all the
early models of court gowns.
1t has been ruled by court officials
that all gowns are to cover the calf
of the leg. This specific provision
removes any quibbling as to the num-
ber of inches. court gowns may hang

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FYSHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine

The records of the commission in lunacy in the state of New York, covering population of nearly 9,o00,000 persons, bring to light some statistical facts relative to dis turbances of the mind.
 The tendency 10 develop such mental disturbances usually shows itself first between Is and 19 years of age, but becomes much more pro- nounced between 20 and 24.
 From then on. the first appear ances of mental disturbances rise steadily until the age of 50, after which there is decline, and then an extremely rapid rise associated with the mental disturbances of old age.
 More Men Lose Minds
 There are approximately more men who become insane than wo- men, a somewhat unexpected fact since women are more emotional and excitable than men. However, men are more likely tc | develop mental disturbances asso- ciated with too much alcohol or with disease.
 The disease known as general
 paresis, or softening of the brain, is
 a late result of infection. Married men and women are less 1 likely 10 become insane than those 1 who are single. The loss of hus-
 hand or a wife increases in a mark ed manner the incidence of insanity
 Up to the age of 55, the prevalence 1 of insanity among widows and
 widowers is almost double that ol
 married men and women. Among single men and women be- 1 tween the ages of 25 and 55, the prevalence of,insanity is nearly three 1 times as great as among a similar ! number of married men and women Statistics for Marriage A well-known physician points out that it is a cynic who said the life
 of a married man is not really longer than that of single man, but that it only seems longer.
 From the actual statistics, it ap- pears that the married men arc better off than bachelors in every sense.
 Men between 25 and 35 years oi age. remaining bachelors, die on an | average of four years sooner than married men, and there is three | times the risk of becoming insane
