of his life. So you see there are
some very intelligent pugilists.
Mize Explains
Take 1t from Johnny Mize. slug
ging first-baseman of the st. Louis
Cardinals, that it wasn't excess
weight that kept him from hitting
his batting stride until late last
season-it was the change in the
National league ball.
Mize. who gave Ernie Lombardi
of the Cincinnati Reds a close bat
tie for the leagues batting crown
despite his late start. has gone into
training at a local gym to rid him
self of excess weight.
The big first -baseman works out
daily with his teammate. Outfielder
Terry Moore. Mize said he hopes
to make 1899 his best year in the
majors.
1T wasn't the extra weight l car
ried last spring that made me
slump so badly" Mize said Il be-
lieve it was the change in the ball
that helped the pitchers more than
most people believed.
During the 1887 season I bat
TED the same way all year" he
explained. That is. I stood far
back from the plate and hit EN-
where they pitched EN-. I got base
hits all around the field. l tried the
same system last spring, though.
but it didn't work"
Mize said due to the change made
in the National league ball the
pitchers had more stuff on the ball
Il had trouble hitting pitchers
who were duck soup in 1887" he
said. Finally. when I was out of
the game for few days, I decided
to change my stance.

Swell

Mail entries for the annual Let
tucemen's golf tournament over
the Del Rio club links at Brawley
reached an all time high Wednes-
day. with the tournament still
nearly two weeks away.
1T looks as though we will reach
or exceed last years field of 254

club professional, declared. The
tournament starts Feb. IL, medal
play extends to Feb. Is and match
play lasts until Feb. 10.
Reha reported the Del Rio course
in excellent condition. The fair
ways were never better" he said.
An innovation in greens keeping
should considerably speed up play
this year. During the tournament
men will be kept busy at each
green, smoothing down the sane
so that when players reach the
green's there will be no delay fol
sweeping.
1t was too early to tell how thu
championship flight will stack UP
beyond the defending champion
Laddie Willoughby, and perennial
contenders such as Lyle Kurisaki
Wayne Elvander, Vic Rlalack ane
Don Rex, as well as Loveridgt

power brings to mind that Don

retain the cup. Bulge contributed
his usual two singles victories when

Pennsylvania Offers
Vacation in Woods
And Mountains

HARRISBURG, June 17.-Penn-
sylvania is still "Penn's Woods" or
the land of the forest" as 1t was
so aptly named by its founder, Will
liam Penn. With an area of As 900
square miles, we have today still as
per cent of it as wooded land No
wonder the keystone State offers
rivers and streams in every section.
During recent years the liberal
stocking of these streams has made
Pennsylvania today ranking State
for the fishing sport. Some of the
finest trout streams in America are
found meandering their way through
mountain ravineS and wooded areas.
No wonder, too, that Pennsylvania
has so many deer, bear and every
type of wild game. More than a
dozen counties may each be desig-
mated a literal "sportsman's para
disc"
This State has scattered all over
its domain parks and recreational
areas affording all kinds of facilities.
Some of them offer lakes for SWIM
ming and boating; some offer vast
picnic areas: some offer modern
cabins or cottages, some offer at
tractlve camping sites, but all OF
them offer some of the facilities
that the average vacationist wants.
Pennsylvania has more than 100
waterfalls, with some of the most
picturesque to be found in the Po-
como region and in Childs State Park,
west at Dingman's Ferry, in Pike
County Pennsylvania also has l3
interesting caves, including the only
all-Water cavern in America.
OF course, it would be difficult to
enumerate all of Pennsylvania S
points OF vantage affording marvel
Gus scenic panoramaS. In Somerset
County, near the Maryland line, are
the Negro Mountains, and Mount
Davis, with an altitude of 3,2l3 feet
above sea level, is the States high
point. But, stretching from that
extreme south section of the State
north to the New York boundary
line and west for distance of 100
miles and east to the Poconos, one
still finds elevations ranging from
1000 to 5000 feet. Many of these
mountain areas have recently been
made accessible through C. C. c.
road-building projects and new
I scenery has been discovered
For example, in Centre County
we have today Penn's Views in what
is known as the Poe Valley area,
aftording spectacular panoramaS.
A recently discovered scenic mas
terpiece is High Point, in Sullivan
County, near the State park, known
as Whirls End and not far distant
from the famous Eagles Mere resort.
West of Altoona, Wopsononock
Mountain affords a view that spells
grandeur and majestic loveliness.
For centuries, perhaps, Pine Greek
was winding its way through So
mile gorge from Ansonia to Jersey
Shore through the mountain area of
Tioga County. 1t was not, however,
until a few years ago that a State
park made accessible three miles
of gorge beauty with drop of 1000
feet at some places. This discovery
demanded a name, and very ap-
propriately this masterpiece of
scenery was labeled Pennsylvania S
Grand Canyon.
