CARDINAL URGES
 BETTER IDEALS
Says Americans Should Live Up
 to Responsibilities

Boston, Dec. IS (UP)-If the pos sessors of great wealth in America understood and lived up to their re- responsibilities, the welfare of the country and it's people would be as- sured, William Cardinal O'Conncll. arch bishop of Boston, declared in an address before the St Vincent De Paul society here yesterday
 The cardinal cited George Wash ington, John Adams and Charles Carroll as men Of high principles and wealth among the founders O. the country who "Were willing to sacrifice all their possessions and their very life itself that this nation might be born and live"
 Some of the citizens Of America who followed them a hundred or more years later possessed fortunes thousand times greater, but had conveniently forgotten tho great principle Of devoting life and for. tune 10 the welfare of country. the cardinal stated.
 If the love Of the welfare and the well being of the whole coun- try went hand in hand with the in crease of these tremendous for tunes, which have been built up within the last half century, there would be less cause for anxiety than We feel today" he added.
 "The Morgans. father and son." were cited by Cardinal O'Connen as examples of how wealth cannot spoil the man with soul" He re- ferrcd 10 their benefactions to re- ligion and 10 art, and said their private lives were "of great sim plCity and devotion to their fam lilies"

next season or two will see a return
to the old style baseball. I believe
them, too.
The other day Lou Gehrig was
talking to me about hitting, and
trying to dope out what caused his
slump last season. He seemed ter
ribly surprise when / advised him to
cut out trying to hit home runs and
to concentrate on meeting that ball.
But think that is LOUIS trouble. I
don't mean by that that he won't hit
home runs. AS a matter Of fact,
think he will hit more that way
than he will when he's up there
taking that full swing.
Hitting home runs isn't half as
much matter of power as it is of
perfect timing and meeting the ball
squarely on the nose, And Lou, in
his anxiety to hit for long distances
last season, was pulling himself
clear off balance and lunging at the
ball. The result was that he drove
the ball into the ground for an easy
Out--eVen Wnen ne managed TO hit
it hard.
Naturally, as far as I am con-
cerned, I'll have to step up there
and take my cut. I'm paid to hit
homers, and the minute 1 start
shortening my swing and try for
base hits, the crowd begins to groan
and humble. But I wish I might
be free to try out my theories just
once. If for one season I could for
get home run hitting and take a
nice easy cuff could just for one
season stand up there fatfooted and
on balance, I'd like to bet that I
could hit 400 for the season.
