\ Since the life of many civilize
men is and will be in the future
a life in work Of sedentary type
effort should be made TO under
stand this fact and then to work
out types of activities that will
provide the margin of motor act
iyity that man requires TO main
tain his own health and that Of
the race.
After twenty years oS age, an
hour should be given daily 10 mo-
tor recreation, involving the use
of the large muscles of the body
Anything less than that for most
individuals will result in physical
deterioration. We are unable to
state the ideal degree Of muscular
development needed by man in
different avocations. Theoretically
the lawyer. the doctor and the
merchant require less vigorous
musculature than the farmer, day
laborer, or mechanic. In reality
this may not be true when viewed
in terms Of fullest health and
most satisfying happiness. Ger
tainly all men require a minimum
physical development which would
enable them TO participate with
pleasure in many forms Of
motor recreation. The narrow
view that conccives man as giving
all to vocation and only a pittance
to recreation for "exercise" con
stricts the range and scope pf
human happiness.
This minimum of physical de-
velopment should provide for all:
/. Strength of trunk muscles
TO maintain an upright posture
and to prevent any ptosis of vital
organs.
?. Strength Of back and leg and
feet muscles 10 produce:
a. Ease and elasticity Of the
gait.
b. Power for walking, run
ming, and jumping.
3. Strength of arm and shout
der muscles sufficient to swing
with reasonable skill - a golf
club, axe or racquet, TO throw a
bah or to paddle a canoe, to pull
rope, to control a horse and to
swim. Strength and skill should be
sufficient TO permit one to enjoy
and to take satisfaction in such
activities.
Such a minimum, though gen
erall stated, would provide power
for enjoyable motor activity. II
would insure against the ptosis
(drooping Of muscles) Of adult
life. II would tend to maintain az
normal, the vital organs of the
body.

league leading pace by defeating
st. Stephens, champions Of the
church league and inter-city title
holders last year, in a pitching

sluggers to five hits in theNeight
and one-half innings he pitched.
Wendall Smith relieved Brown in
the ninth when st. Stephens
scored one run and had the tieing
run on the bases. Smith famed

next one to roll to the pitchers
box.
st. Stephens scored their tally
in the third inning when jenkins
and jeff Lyle worked the squeeze
play, Lyle bunting past Brown as
Jenkins scampered home from
third.
Second Baptist scored two of
their runs on a two-base error.
Brown aided materially in the de-
=, feat of the champions with his
two singles.
The Rev. William II. Peck, pas
tor of Bethel A. NJ. Il. church,
tossed the first ball in the Bethel
Russell Street game at Northwest
ern Field, which saw the Bethel
players snatch the game from
Russell Street on a wild heave to

the league. When the Toledo
team folded up before the end OF
the season, Taylor moved on to
ST, Louis, arriving in July. He
was at the helm of Dick Kent's
teams for three years.
During the years Taylor has
been bobbing around the circuit.
he has developed some good
young ball players. Perhaps the
most notable of those developed
by Taylor is Billy Wells. present
shortstop for Coles American
Giants.
Wells opened the 1924 season
with ST. Louis and continued
there until the team disbanded
two years ago.
Another fine player developed
by Taylor was Willie Alfonso Bo-
DO, the Phoenix, Arizona first
baseman who died two years ago
in California. Trent, the big
Highlander now with the Black
Yankees. is another product of
Candy" jim Taylor.
James Bell, the fleet outnelder
with the Crawford Giants, receiv-
cd his baseball education. in the
Taylor school. Bell joined st.
Louis as a southpaw pitcher in
1922. When Taylor took the reins
he transferred Bell to the out
field and today he is rated one Of
the best centerfielders Of all time.
What Taylor will do in Detroit
is horse of another coor. He
might develop another champion
ship team. Again he might prove
a fizzle. And while many are pull
ing for the chunky fellow. time
only can tell what he will do.

The untimcly death Of Andrew
"Rubc" Foster several years ago,
deprived baseball of man who
had contributed materially to the
growth of the game. In baseball,
for more than twenty years, he
WAS a powerful factor.
Foster was not only smart. able
and successful in handling his
team on the playing field. ne also
manifested business acumen
which enabled Negro baseball to
rise up from heller skcltcr ar
iangement of teams, TO an organ
lied body the Negro National
League.
The Negro National Leagu,
was organized in 1920 at Kansa
City, Mo. Foster was elected tn
first president. Financial cond
tons caused several changes i
the general makeup of the Ieagu
before Fosters death, but he al
ways managed to keep interes
alive.
When Foster was forced out in
1926 because of illness, a meeting
was called in Chicago and Judge
William Hucston was elected
president. Hucston served until
the league petered out in 1881.
Cum Posey tried his hand at
organized baseball in 1892, or
ganizing the East-West League.
The league failed before the end
Of the season.
This year Gus Greenlce, the big
baseball and fight magnate from
Pittsburgh, is attempting TO give
the fans another taste Of organ
lied baseball. He is heading the
newly formed Negro National AS
sociation.
Greenlee, with his rough and
ready ways, seems to be the Moses
for Negro, baseball. He is at
tempting to lead the owners out
Of the Wilderness Of depression.
And while he is not making much
Roadway at present, the future
looks very bright for the man who
owns and controls Greenlee Field
in Pittsburgh. The big fellow is
injecting the fight spirit in the
game. He believes in plenty of adj
vertising and keeping the fans
informed of what is going on.
Greenlee should be a success.

CLAPPER W,RTTING AGAIN

ATTENTION of Press readers is called
n to the series of United Press articles
by Raymond Clapper on business in gov
ernment, which started in yesterday s
issue and will continue indefinitely.
Clapper, regular member of the
United Press staff at the capital, will
be recalled as the writer who caused such
a furore in Washington last year with
a series of articles exposing the prev
alence of nepotism among members of
congress.
1t was indirectly as result of these
articles that scores of congressman and
senator's were defeated for reelection III
November when voters became aware
that they were supporting relatives of
members of congress, some of whom did
no work for the money paid to them by
the people.
Clappers former series of articles
figured only last week in government cir
cles when the attention of congress was
called to one which exposed the eXtrav-
agant sums spent in providing official
funerals for deceased members Of con-
gress. In preparing a resolution to dis
continue this practice, Representative
Summers of Texas cited the figures in
Clapper's articles as an example of gov
ernmental extravaganza with the tax
payers money.
The present series will deal with ad-
ditional ways in which the taxpayers
dollar is spent wisely and unwisely.
Clapper is not what is called muck
raker'' He is a newspaperman stand
ing high in his profession, trained to OBJ
tain facts even when efforts are made
to hide them from him, and to present
them in fair and impartial manner.
The articles will contain information
which will be of interest to every tax
payer and citizen. They may make him
mad if they expose undesirable condi-
tions which exist in government circles,
but he will doubtless feel that it is high
time he became mad and did something
to aid in curbing the high cost of govern
ment
We recommend the Clapper articles
without knowing in advance what they
may contain, feeling certain they will
be as interesting and as constructive as
those which were presented last spring.
We have a hunch that the chart max
ers are the real moving spirits behind
this technocracy business. 1t certainly
gives them fine opportunity.

What, then, do you think made

II think" said the lost dog, that
the noise was made by my lost
home coming to find me-"

What are you laughing at?" ask
ed the lost dog, sort of looking
surprised like.
Il am laughing at you thinking
that homes go around looking for

EIa! Do you think your home, where
you live when you aren't lost, has
wheels on and comes around after
you like roller skates? Do you?'
That's just what ] think" said
the dog and Uncle Wiggily was so
surprised that all he could say was:
You do?"
Certainly 1 do" softly whined
the lost dog, shifting around in the
snow to see if he could find any
thing to eat. You see it's like
this, Uncle Wiggily," he explained
as he looked toward the bush
whence had come the strange
noise. Il live with my master in
little house on wheels. It's a
sort of automobile house and it
rolls all around the country. 1t is
sort of a house and store toge-
ther and my master sells tin pans,
soap and all things like that all
around the country.

ing house. But a little while age
when we stopped at farm TO sell
lady some spools of thread, ]

house was gone. So got lost and

heard this noise just now thought
perhaps 1t was my lost home COM
ing back 10 me-"
We'll, we'll" exclaimed Uncle
