Tension and Relaxing.

IF THERE is one matter that di-
rectly concerns every one con-
nected with sport and existence
in general. it is the matter OF
tension and the ability to relax.
Tension and the inability to relax,
through ignorance of the subject,
combine to form one of the roughest
barricades of sport.
No one understands this situation
better than DR.. Edmund Jacobson Of
the University of Chicago, whose
somewhat recent book, You Must Re
lax" received wide attention.
Knowing that Dr. Jacobson had
made scientific laboratory tests upon
this subject for many years, I called

RED POUNDS BALL
ASLARY FOOzLES
Veteran InfieIder Giving
Promise of Regaining 300
Batting Pace.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.
&taY CORRESPONDENT of The Star.


nOXI, Miss, March 2l.-Red
x Kress, brought to the Ma
tionals from the White Sox as
utility player last May, will
start this year as the regular short
stop for the Washington ball club
unless Lyn Larry quickly undergoes a
change decidedly for the better both
afield and at bat. This is to be
gathered from Manager Bucky Har-
ris on the three-way tusSle for the
short field berth on his ball club.
Bucky has about counted OsSie
Bluese, the veteran inflelder, out OF
the contest, although Ossie still Is
one Of the best fielders in the business
and psobaby can perform better at
shortstop than any other position
from second to third base. 1t looks as
though Bluege has lost what snap ne
had in his hitting and the Washing
ton manager is looking for power these
days. :,
It is this question of power as we'll
rs fine fielding that at present gives
Kress the inside track in the race tor
the short-feld post. KreSs is hitting
TO al parts of the ball yard this
Spring and hitting for plenty OF dis
tance, too. In the two exhibition
games the Nationals have played
Kress' bat figured prominently.

Many Hazards Behind Plate.

THERE has been lot of discussion
about Mr.. FoXX in his new job.
Four out of Ave of the man
ayers and players in Florida, as polled
by this department. call it mistake
to take Foxx off first base. They say
he runs too great a risk of injury.
They say he is good for whole sea-
sons work at first base, whereas the
catching job will expose him to split
fingers and acute aneinia of the bat
ting average.
But the best of them don't deny
that Jimmy can be a good catcher.
He moves around very rapidly for a
big guy. He is smart. He will have
a steadying effect on the pitchers. He
estimates himself that the Philadel-
phia pitching will improve 25 per cent
this year. Last year there were two
or three private pitcher catcher feuds
on the team Mr.. FoxX is bound to
wipe out that sort of thing.
AS for his arm, nearly every one
comedies it to be strong, elastic and ac-
curate. Every one. that is except a
few captiouS critics who have COM
pared Jimmy's throws to the gentle
arc of the rainbow. 1t was in answer
to these parties that Col. Mack of
Kentucky made the jesting speech
cited above. The ball writer's saw
what he meant and chuckled heartily.
But the situation is not so comical
for Mr.. FoxX. This season is going
to be the hardest in his experience.
He will have to adjust his muscles
to a routine that he abandoned years
ago. He did some catching on the re-
cent Mack-Ruth expedition to Japan,
but even now he suffers a bit from
stiffness in the biceps and inner elbow
muscles of the right arm

How to Relax.

TT MIGHT be stated in advance that
DR.. Jacobson has made tests with
foot ball players and other ath-
letes who are subjected to high ten
sion and wasted energy and motion.
Alex Morrison, the well known golf
expert, sat in on the interview.
In the first place." I said to DR..
Jacobson, every one knows that it is
important. to relaX-to conserve en-
ergy-to eliminate waste motion. But
few know how to do it. Just how
should one start along the right line?'
"It is largely a matter of training
along the right lines" DR.. jacobson
answered The average person may
think he is relaxing. or relaxed, when
he still is full of tension. Our tests
have shown this. Briefly. We teach
our patients how to contract every
muscle-then how to relax these
muscles. We give exercises in con-
traction and relaxing. which can ac-
complish this"
"Does this tension" I asked,
"cOme largely from the brain,
the muscular or the nervous
system?"
ut is largely a blend of all three"
DR.. jacobson replied Certainly it
isn't all mental. 1t is possible to have
mental tension and yet keep the mus
cular and nerve systems relaxed. Ten
sion, to any extent, in the muscular
system, whether you are sitting or in
motion, is extremely firing. 1t cuts in
heavily on stamina. 1t is possible to
be at high tension and then to relax
completely. to relax every muscle and
nerve in the body, at the first oppor-
tunity offered. Those able to do this
will be much better athletes and will
last much longer than those who don't.
1t is one of the most important factors
connected with sport-with every
branch of sport"

slumped With White Sox.

rrARRIS has an idea that Kress is
on the verge Of regainlng the
batting form that made him
such a sturdy hitter through three OF
his five campaigns with the Browns
In that stretch of five seasons, which
started in 1927, the red-thatched
swatter hit below the 300 mark only
once. In 1928 he batted .273.
In his first year as a major leaguer
Kress hit for 304. In 1929 he batted
.3o5. He swung for an average OF
.3l3, his peak in the big show, in 1880
and IN 1881 his record was .311. Sent
TO the White Sox in a trade In 1882,
he hit just ATS.
Two lean seasons at bat have fol-
lowed. Kress in 1888 did no better
than clout at .248 pace. Last season
he had an average of .232, but in his
S6 games with the Nationals he hit
only .22s.
This low mark with the Washing
ton club last year had those in
charge figuring him out of the run
ming for q regular infield place this
time. It was Just about settled that
Larry, q corl<ing fielder on record,
picked up from the Red Sox in the
$7s0,ooo Cronin deal, would fill the
bill. He had it on Kress in every
way as a fielder and reasonably might
be expected to larrup the leather at
a rate good enough to keep up with
the club.
II seems now that Manager Harris
and the others counted their chickens
before they were Matched. Kress
came to camp here full of fire and
tight. He lost no time in declaring
that the shortStop battle was not
confined TO Larry and Bluege. I'm
IN there, too," he told the manager
IN particular and the camp in gen.
eral, "and those others will have to
60 fast to beat me to the job
They Didn't Believe Him.
EVEN then Kress' threat was not
t. regarded seriously. He had been
trying to come back as a batter
for 50 many seasons that many be-
heVed he had lost his punch. But
as soon as he jumped into the batting
drills the skeptics began to reconsider.
Long SmdSneS by the red-top became
a daily feature of the swinging drills.
His drives were among the longest
on Biloxi Field.
He might hit, those who had been
doubtful finally admitted, but what
about his fielding? Kress had looked
none too good the last two years as
defensive player. Yet in the defensive
drills, Red proceeded to confound his
critics again. Tried at second, third
and short he was a flash. Finally
Manager Harris decided to give KresS
the opportunity to battle for the Short
stops berth.
Since there has been no real battle.
1t has been all Kress. He has f1elded
rs well as Bluege and far outclassed
Larry. The last mentioned, since the
first few days at camp, has been most
unimpreSsive in the infield drills. He
has failed to cover territory and his
throws have lacked force and ac-
curacy. Larry may come around, for
he has been wonder among the in
helders Of the American League. But
he Is very slow in doing so.
