One reason why Lefty's chances for making good with his new style of pitching are excellent is the fact that lie is in fine physical shape this spring. H9 finally took the trainers advice and made an hen est effort to get his lcgs ln ccadi- ticn. Last season nc showed ten dency to weaken in late innings. This was ascri5ed to the fact that IT order to keep his weight up he refused to do more than occas-on- ally shag flies in practice to keep l.s legs in shape.
 This spring he was on the job early and worked late. He quit wor- rying about poundage and built up his wind and his legs. Both are as important to pitching success as a powerful arm.

 Last weeks contest was lively and hard-fought seven inning game in which the Cardinals came out on top by one run, mainly because of the fine pitching performance of Elmer Lindstrom Tomorrows game will see Capt Irving Hagerup on the mound for the Cardinals and either Stan Grummett or Al Blom- quist receiving. The Douglas bat tery is not as yet decided but either Balog or Claude Erskine seem slat- ed for the hurling duties and Jen- sen or Peterson will be the choice behind the bat.

ITS BEEN DONE BEFORE

ITS BEEN DONE BEFORE
 Gomez is not the first pitcher who, finding his speed diminishing used his experience and knowledge to get by. Plenty of big league moundsmen have done it with suc- cess and prolonged their baseball lives. A leading hurler who had made a successful comeback after his arm had lost it's power remark ed that no big leaguer really learns how to pitch until he has had a sore arm. Strong arm methods work out fairly well for the strap ping youngster, but sooner or later the strain of trying to toss them all past the batters catches up with him, and then he really has to use his head or get out of the game.
 Gomez has been around Ions
 nouoh to have a working knowledge of the American League batters He is starting his seventh season in the big leagues.
 Gomez going in for curves and 2 change of pace presents an inter esting picture. He works harde- pitching to a spot and working the corners. He is bound to lose a fev. close ones. And he is likely to vel more hits. Slipping over half-speed curves will work out all right if he has the old fire ball as an ace in the hole. To date he has managed to do a pretty god job of pitching himself out of the holes his lack of control gets him into.

SPORT SLAN1S

You might think that the joss of the f.ae edge of control which Lei y Gomcs flashed T 1884 when he wa setting the pace for American League pitchers would worry the Yankees mound ace Yet the fact that he has issued IT passes in the three games he has pitched does not seem to be causing him any great loss of sleep.
 Sure, I've been having little trouble getting the ball over tie corners said Gomez. by way of explanation. But it is all because I have changed my pitching style. I'm trying more to fool the batteTs now instead of using speed to get by most of the time.
 Don't let the passes fool you. I've won two of the three games, and allowed cnly four earned runs in 27 innings. The game lost to Washington on opening day was plain hard luck. I pitched well enough to win, and with any kind of a break that To score might just as well have been reversed"
 When Gomez found that his us ual stuff was not getting him by he gave the m ter considerable thought. Some insist his arm was lame this spring, and that had much to do with his decision to alter his style on the mound His fast ball was not the ball of fire it had been in the past so there was nothing left for him to do but to get smart to study each batters weaknesses and to pitch to it.

Parents Should Not Force Youngsters
 Beyound Limit Of Their Intelligence

dition of the child is as good as 1t can possibly be made.
 Out of 400 delinquent children studied in 6 mental hygiene clinic, 1t was found that Q considerable percentage suffered from easily cor- rected physical defects. Onesthird had bad teeth and large adenoids and tonsils.
 Many of the children had parents who were handicapped by physical illness--the father being unable to work and the mother being compel led to earn the family living. Many of them had parents who were themselves distinctly neurotic.
 There is, of course, some relation ship between diseases and intelli- gence. There are many conditions which do not lessen intelligence but seem instead to sharpen the mind. Thus, it has been shown that children who are especially sensitive to various food subytancei are likely to be more alert than arc other children.
 Out of 1077 children examined in Glasgow, those suffering from chronic rheumatism of kidney dis orders were found to be just as in- telligent as their brothers and SiS- ters.
 On the other hand, those suffer- ing from real disorders of the glands, and with either an excess or deficiency of internal secretions were found occasionally to depart from normal intelligence levels.
 Attempts have been made tc correlate height and intelligence. Ii has been claimed that children oi higher intelligence are slightly taller than others. This claim was made in Great Britain, where people ir general are taller than people oi some other races.
 Nobody yet has found htat tel Japanese are any smarter than the short ones.

Everybody should know by now that children are not born equal, either mentally or physically. Most of them are the sum of their an- cesorS. Many a parent himself is not as smart as thes would like his child to be.
 The first duty of a parent is to find out the limit of the child's intellectual capacity, and not to en- deavor to drive the child beyond that capacity. The child who can- not think well, remember well, or learn normally should have the ad- vantage of what science can offer to make the most out of the cap- acity that 1t has.
 Once 1t is discovered that c child Is mentally slow and that 1t cannot keep up with other children, the parents must decide what they are to do about It's education. But first they must determine by suitable examination that the physical con

THREE THOUSAND CALORIES

 A calory iS the heat of energy unit used in the measurement of the nutFitive or fuel value of food and the organic or muscular work of the body. It is the amount Of heat required to raise c gram (about one-fourth teaSpoonfuD Of water one degree Centigrade in temperature, precisely from 16 de- greees Ccntigrade to i0 degrees Centigrade, tor from 60 degrees r. CO.'S degrees F)
 Perhaps one-tenth of the energy Value of all food consumed escapes digestion and absorption and iS lost through defecation. Thus if the to- tal daily intake Is, say 2,b00 calories approximately 260 calorics Will Dc lost as c rule in the feceS.
 Tn eight hours of sleep a normal adult uses B76 calories (thc energy required to maintain heart-beat, breathing and the functions in gen crai as they go on during sleep) The same adult, lying quitely in bed but awake for eight hours, occasionally I turning over or moving the limbs or taking or holding 0 book or paper to read uses 760 calories. Doing light clerical or mechanical work six or eight hours daily uses 400 to 700 calories, moderate work, 700 to 1i00 calories; heavy work, from 1900 to 2000 calories additional.
 Recent studies indicate that members of families with income of less than two dollars weekly per capita obtain an average of less than 2S00 calories a day. Tn this country the moderately active adult male requires 5000 calories Q day according to recognized authoritiea on nutrition. Families having Q weekly income of three to four dol- lars for each member were found to be getting more than 5000 calor- ies @ day for each member.
 The common mistake of poor people is the use of rather toe much meat and refined carbohy- drates (fancy cereal products, sugar sweets, syrups, trick flour, etc0 ant not enough milk, fruit and fresf vegetables.
 People on relief, receiving perhaps $2.76 a week for each member of thu family, should be required to take quart of milk daily and at least fivI ounces of plain wheat daily, as par Iof their dole. Seven quarts of plair milk would cost not more than J' cents; 35 ounces of plain whea would cost not more than 8 cents and they should be required to tak' ct least one egg daily, at least on' green leafy vegetable and at on' fresh fruit in season.

GIOrWMg Yourself
By Alicia Hart

To keep the figure slim and Sup- pie, Sylvia sydney, pretty brown haired screen star, recommeflus gardening and swimming.
 "When I say gardening, ! don't mean stepping out in an organdy frock, daintily shipping cR Q few blooms, then arranging them m vases," the actress explained. "Thats not gardening. It's interior decora- ton. And it's no more exercise than sitting in rocking chair on the front porch.
 ''The kind of gardening I'm talk- ing about requires Q pair of old oveFallg, some old cotton gloves, and Q set of real tools. There's nothing more invigorating than pulling weeds for half on hour before breakfast. It's wonderful for your lazy leg, waistline and arm muscles. Raking away stones and doing c bit of hoes ing are beneficial, too, not only to your figure but to your general out- look on life.
 "Naturally, if you garden only now and then, you'll suffer from aching joints and stiffness. But if you do 1t several times week, I think you'll see definite improve Tnent in your dimensions and your health. Besides, gardening ig more fun than setting-ip exercises"
 Miss Sydney then praised swim ming as an exercise. She believes that Q daily swim will glenderize too plump arms, develop c dat chest and make the waiStline graceful.
 The actress is an advocate of soap and water cleansing, used, prefer ably, in conjunction with Q com- plexion brush. She washes her own skin several times Q day, applies cream only at night and uses . n1iSt- mum of makeup.

I have learned the detailed facts, long since, of that tragic his- tory, but I still try to add something tangible once touched and not quite lost.
