say "a practitioner in whom
the family has complete conf
denee" because most congenital
deformities cannot be corrected
by a single brilliant stroke: it is
usually matter Of many repeated
maneuvers extending over a pc
Rod Of at least year, and per-
haps several years; period which
requires patience and courage on
the part of parents and doctor,
and complete confidence.
Hard To Convince
A tragic aspect Of these condi-
lions is that it is often so hard
to convince the parents that the
baby has a deformity. The eye is
little off center, perhaps, but then
Grandma says all babies are like
that at first. The baby isn't able
TO nurse, the milk comes back
through its nose. but it couldn't
be cleft palate Uncle Ned says
he remembers father was like that
when he was a baby. 1t is COM
forting to believe Grandma and
Uncle Ned, but not good for the
adult life Of the baby.
In none is this so likely TO be
true as in the deformities of the
foot. The baby can't stand, so no
one can see actually how the foot
looks in action, and then babies
feet are so funny snyway-the
soles face each other, and all that.
So many precious months are
wasted, while the tissues are get
ting tougher and tougher and
harder and harder to replace in
the normal position.
The foot deformities Of the
newborn, as well classified by DR..
Frederick r. Thompson of New
York, are the result of contrac-
lures holding a section Of the foot
in a position which is a part Of It's
usual range of normal motion.
Abnormal Conditions
Thus the foot may be held with
the toe end down so that the heel
can never be placed fat on the
floor This is obviously due to q
shortening Of the tough tendon
that goes from the back Of the heel
into the calf
Clubfoot is fxation OF the
foot in the position where the toes
are looking at the instep of the
other foot. 1t is a perfectly nor
NAL position within the normal
range of motion Of the foot, but,
Of course, not normal If held there
BY bands Of tendons and connec-
tive tissue which will not allow it
70 swing back through the rest Of
It's normal range.
Nobody knows exactly the cause
Of these contractures. Best guess
g that before birth the child's
body gets in a position where the
foot is held against some other
part Of the body until contracture
results.
Treatment is by slow stretching
Of the foot tissues in the line Of
normal joint motion. For this
cast and stretching manipulstions
are used before the child has
learned to walk, and special shoes
which stretch the adhesive bands
when walking begins.

quietly has done more than his part.
He adopted six children. He sold
his Montana ranch and poured the

believed. When old Nick Altrock

Two days later, when the annual
winter baseball meeting opened in
Chicago, Griffith had some definite
ideas. Good, meaty ideas. Not

could help.
"The Park Is Yours"
His colleagues felt the same way.
A second, or extra all-star game
was manufactured and all proceeds
will be turned over to Army and
Navy Relief. A certain number OF
championship league games were
set aside to be played for the same
cause. One of these was held here
last Saturday.
AS organizer of the old Bat and
Ball Fund of World War I, Griffith
took the lead in this department
again. Now the majors are furnish
ing every overseas unit a liberal
number of special athletic kits, con-

phernalia.

400 hitters among the regulars IN
the major leagues.
Bobby (Slamming) Doerr OF the
Boston Red Sox retains his Amer
lean League leadership and also is
the best among the swatters from

ahead Of Joe Gordon, New York

Gordon (Babe) Phelps, the stout
receiver for the Pittsburgh Pirates,
crashed out a single hit in a pinch
hitting role against the Cincinnati
Reds last night to take over the
National League top with 1852.
His aggregate tops that of Rookie
Ray Lammano, Reds catcher, by one
point, while another backstop, Ernie
Lombardi of the Boston Braves, is
third with .348.
Bill Dickey Of the ankees, erst-
while leader in the American, has
been handicapped with sinus trouble

place, while Nanny Fernandez, Bos-

Max Baer in one of the rings most
astounding upsets.
Lou Hits Deck Early.
Nova was the 81 choice last night
after the first round had been COM
pleted. All through the fight the
crowd Of approximately 10000 fans.
including a couple of thousand serv-
icemen who came free, waited for
him to open up with the heavy
artillery on his smaller opponent,
but he never found the range.
Savold. following a carefully de-
signed plan of battle, refused to
come to close quarters in the early
rounds, but laid back, wove and
tented. concentrating more on
making Nova miss than on deliver
ing clean punches. His modus
operandi apparently puzzled Nova,
who seemed reluctant to lead and
was as jittery as cat. He didn't
look good in the early rounds, de-
spite the lead credited to him by
the officials, but Manager Ray
Carlen said he was pleased with his
boxing after an eight-month lay-off.
The only semblance of a knock
down occurred IN the second round
when Savold ripped a hard left to
the body and Nova retalated with
right. In firing the punch Lou
appeared to trip over Savold's feet,
falling face forward to the canvas.
LOUIS best round was the fourth
when he snapped couple of sharp
lefts to Savold's head and handled
himself in the approved style of
contender. Nova also had COM
mand in the fifth, driving Savold to
cover with Furnishing body shots,
but Lee rallied in the last few sec
onds of the session to pound a couple
of brisk lefts to the midsection and
head and from that moment on it
was his fight.
Savold Muffs X. o. Chance.
Savold missed a grand kayo op-
portunity in the sixth when Nova,
his face a CORY mask and when
he apparently was beWildered by
Savolds surprise attack, left him
self wide open for a payof punch.
His head was teed up like a golf
ball, but Sayold was of balance
and couldn't take advantage of the
opportunity
