information to keep arguments CO.
ing until the diamond season is well
under way.
For instance, Editor Gill Brandt's
gleanings show that nine parks
were used by the senior circuit
clubs last year, and that one player
was successful in chalking up home
runs in all nine. He was John Costa
Rizzo, Pittsburgh's rookie sensation
who set new Pirate record with
% homers.
Though Mel OFT of the New York
Giants spread his SO home runs
through all eight cities, he obtained
none in Shibe Park, which the Pr
rates called home the last half of
the season. OFT, incidentally, drew
118 passes, his sixth season with
more than 100.
Contrary to earned run and per-
centage calculations which showed
Big Bill Lee of Chicago the seasons
foremost pitcher, the green book
shows Johnny Wander Nicer of Gin
cinnati was tops on the basis of
opponents batting averages.
The system evolved by Tommy
Holmes, sports writer of the Brook
Ign Eagle, showed that the collec-
tive batting average of all players
off Wander Nicer was 213, while
Lees opponents hit .254. By this
rating Russ Bauers of Pittsburgh
and Clay Bryant of the Cubs were
second and third best hurlers.
Only player to get more than 200
hits was Frank Mccormick, Gin
cinnati's rookie first baseman. He
also led in punching them, twice
clustering five safeties in a single
game, and on six other occasions
punching four.
Paul Waner, veteran Pirate, new
er much of a slugger, moved into
the leagues all time home run lead
ers on only six homers. He is one
of II players now active in the Ma
tional league who have hit 100 or

II other present players who have
lifetime average of over 300.

Balancing the Bio Meal

Whether the main meal of the
day is served at noon or at night,
it should be well-balanced, to help
safeguard health, and appetizing,
to make it so enjoyable that it will
be digested efficiently.
It should be built first of all
around a protein food: meat;
fresh, canned, or quick-frozen
fish; cheese, chicken, an egg dish,
or a casserole of hearty baked
beans. There should be an energy
food such as sweet or white po-
tatoes, rice, macaroni, or noodles,
though frequently this can be COM
bined with the protein food, as in
cheese macaroni or beef stew. For
variety and palate pleasure, &C.
casionally serve baked bananas.
They rank as an energy food, and
also contribute important miner
ais and vitamins.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

A. Don't overlook onions-they
are inexpensive, and a fine source
of bulk. Served raw, they provide
a substantial amount of vitamin c,
the vitamin for which we espe-
cially prize oranges, grapefruit
and tomatoes.
Include a salad at dinner, lunch
or supper; it is well for most nor
NAL individuals to eat some raw
food daily. In cold weather. dress
it generously with salad dressing
for extra fuel value.
Dessert may be pie, pudding or
gelatin. The choice depends part
ly upon the other foods served at
dinner, partly upon the dessert
to be served at the third meal of
the day. But here is a good gen.
eral rule to follow. Serve a fruit
dessert at one meal-and a pud-
ding containing milk at the other.
Of course, the fruit need not be
served plain unless you wish.
Fruit pies are splendid for cold
weather meals. fruit and gelatin
combine nicely, and fruit may be
incorporated in cakes, as IN apple
sauce cake.

Time for Good EATING

But don't imagine for a moment
that correct eating and good eat
ing cannot be synonymous. 1t is
true that there is no time of year
when correct eating is more i'm
portant. But it is also a fact
that there is no time of year when
good eating is more distinctly in
dicated!
These are the days when break
fasts must be especially hearty
. =. to satisfy keen appetites, to
provide generous amounts of fuel
or energy values. That means &C.
reals always, and some form of
breadstuff, pancakes or waff1es.
Cereals are primarily energy
foods, but they may also carry
substantial amounts of precious
mineral salts and vitamin B.
Whole grain varieties are also a
good source of bulk or cellulose
so necessary for regular
health habits so often over
looked in diets that are carelessly
planned.
Eggs belong on the breakfast
menu, too, because they are top
notch protective food. And there
must be fresh or stewed fruit
for vitamins, minerals and rough.

game like rain or snow during a
tournament.
Thousands of golf bugs will hope,
though perhaps skeptically, that
Hagen can make a comeback. The
old master started winning tourna-
ments long time ago. In 1914 he
won the National Open, repeating
in 1919. He captured the Western
Open in 1916, '21, '26, '27 and 80.
In 1916 he won the Metropolitan
Open, duplicating the performance
in 1919 and 1920. And as regards
another try at the British Open, he
should do all right. He's had plenty
of practice, winning it in 1922, "a,
'28 and '29. The Canadian Open
crown fell to him in 1881.
Hagen contracted malaria last
year during big game hunting
expedition in Africa. He has had a
long rest, and has regained much of
his lost strength. During his re-
cuperation he devoted his time to
designing and building new clubs.
At one time he stated that he was
through with tournament golf-that
he'd putter around the course in a
friendly game or two, but was
through with competition. Now he
declares he made that remark in
order that friends would not insist
on his playing when he was not in
shape.
''Sarazen spoke the truth" he
said, when he remarked that our
American courses are softened up
for the tournament players. It's a
fact that with greens as soft as the
tournament players want them you
can stop a rnidiron shot dead, with
out fear of it rolling over. Then,
too, we have our green's so targeted
that you can shoot at them as you
would a Coney Island pistol range. "
Hagen still has a lot of vitality,
and comeback for him, though
certainly not easy, won't be impos-
sible. Thousands of fans still re-
member him as a champ.

Rounding Out Days Nutrition

Whether the third meal of the
day is lunch or supper in your
household, it should round out the
days nutrition. If you need to
get more milk into the diet, LET
your lunch or supper include a
cream soup. If you haven't served
eggs previously during the day,
choose a souffie or a dish contain
ing creamed eggs. A starchy
food, salad, a dessert and bev-
erage will complete a meal that
both satisfies the appetite and
meets nutritional requirements.
1t is not difficult to obtain the
days quota of minerals, vitamins,
cellulose, protein. carbohydrates
and fats. These substances are
to be found in delicious, whole
some foods. All you need to re-
member is not to serve too much
of one food and too little of an
other.
Let the balanced diet be your
ideal-and cold weather will prove
a tonic instead of a possible men
ace to healthl

Baseball Schools

THAT comparatively new and
= rapidly growing institute of ed
ucation, the baseball school, seems
to be finding few hackers other than
faculty members and student
bodies.
Indeed, there are those alert in
dividuals who look at the schools in
anything but kindly light. They
realize that racket" is a horrid
word, but haven't found an ade-
quate substitute in describing dia-
mond colleges. Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, who has some
what more than a passing interest
in the game, is known to be cooking
scrutinizing eye over some of the
various baseball schools blossoming
in the country.
For the most part, deans and pro-
fessors of these schools are past and
present major league stars. Big
names in baseball. They furnish
bait for students. Entrance re-
quirements are very simple-almost
too simple. All the student needs
is enough money and the desire to
become a big league star. Re-
quirements for the instructor are
equally simple. He needs only a
nationwide reputation and the de-
sire for bit of out-of-season spend
ing money.
1t must be admitted that some
sponsors really expect to find good
prospect among the run-of-the-min
aspirants at their schools. But
there is real danger that the base
ball school, if permitted to operate
without close supervision, will be-
come nothing more than racket.
There is little need today for base
ball schools. In an overwhelming
minority are the stars who credit
their rise to what they learned from
Indifferent instructors. They still
come up the hard way, learning
their trade in the seni-pro or minor
league ranks where there is some
supervision.
When the baseball bug bites
Junior he'll probably quit his job at
the Bon Ton Soda Shoppe, withdraw
his savings from the Soda Jerkers
National Bank and embark for the
closest college of clout. Nine times
out of ten the experience won't
harm him, and odds are the same
that he'll be no closer to big time
baseball. However, parents are be-
ginning to mutter. They don't want
Junior spending both time and mon
ey trying to reach the moon, espe-
cially when he's negleeting the lib
eral arts or his more mundane lob.
Eddie Collins once said that abiI-
ity to hit big league pitching was
so per cent confidence and so per
cent natural talent. All of which
doesn't leave much room for in
struction.
Though instruction is undoubtedly
helpful, the principal ingredient in
any baseball star is natural ability.
1t isn't the result of professional
brain work.
The finding of good prospect
in the baseball schools wouldn't
really prove very much. His men,
tors would undoubtedly recognize
his ability and pass the good word
along, but the kids proves
wouldn't necessarily reflect favor
ably on the school. He was good
when he enrolled and his teachers
merely noticed it.

They should realize also that one

not live well! A man can exist
