half his games it will be only tho
second time this has happened
since 1917.
This can't very well qualify as
news TO Lobert, who came to Phila-
delphia undre the reign of Jimmy
Wilson, worked as coach under Doc
Pro:hro for three years while the
team finished last. and actually, IL
not officially, took command last
September when Prothro sudden
ly and mysteriously disappeared
from Shibe Park.
All Time Low
If Lobert isn't aware of what the
future holds, he must have spent a
year in blinkers. The Phillies lost
three of their first IS games. Prom
June 8 to July "a they lost IS Of
40 games. They ended the season
81 games out Of first place, 81 1-2
out of second place, and 10 out Of
seventh place for an average of
.279, one Of the all time low tide
marks.
The longest 1941 Philly Whining
streak was three games, which may
be why Prothro decided to disap,
pear. Lobert stepped in around
Sept. I and put more zip into the
team than an inferno armed with
a barrel Of adrenalin and a gross
OF needles. He was mildly terrific,
but the Phils couldn't stand up.
He had them stealing bases as
recklessly as the James boys stole
bank funds, he stretched his Ersatz
material to the breaking point and.
in short, he furnished just what
the departed doctor must have for
gotten to order. The team couldn't
win any more regularly, but it could
and did lose the hard way instead
of just giving up.
I wish Lobert luck, but there
ism tmuch point in that because he
will need a lot more.

New York, Feb. 4-(UP)-'Majo r

the wheel today in about support
OF the American war effort.
National and American league
tycoons, meeting here yes erday
with Baseball Comm 'Ssioner Kene-

/. Permission for 161 night games.
2. Removal of all restrictions on

3. Cooperation with the morale

4. Allotment of 10 per cent of all

5. Approval of two all-star games

President Roosevelt's "play ball"
letter inspired the increase in NIGHT

will get their share of the national
pastime. The magnates welcomed
the suggestion, primarily because
OF sincere desire to aid the war
effort but also because of the fin

So the National league will play
"a night games and the American
league II. Fourteen night games
were allotted each club equipped to
play nocturnal ball except Wash
ington. The Senators persistently
held out for % games and were
granted 81 in a compromise.
Owner Clark Griffith complained
that Washington had an extra
ordinary number of daytime work.
ers unable to take time off for
baseball. The American league was
willing to grant his request but the
National league argued that too
many night games would be detri.
mental, and Lends suggested the
compromise. So that there will be
no interference in the war effort,
no inning of night game may
start after 1880 a. M, war time.
Nor can night games be played on
Sunday.
There are five teams - Detroit
Boston and the Yanks of the Amer
lean league and Boston and Chi
cago OF the National-which do not
have suitable lighting for night
games. They will, however, play
night ball on the road
Abolishing restrictions on Sunday
double-headers ended another long
standing rule. Previously, no Sab
bath twin bills could be scheduled
until after a teams third Sunday
at home.
Army Teams
The decision to cooperate with
the military morale divisions left
both leagues open for large num-
Der of exhibition games with SER
vice teams. Nothing was decided
definitely because the owners could
not anticipate the demands which
will be made upon them.
The 10 per cent salary deduction
for defense bonds and stamps was
made binding on the executives, the
commissioner, league presidents and
club officials. But such action in
connection with other baseball sal
aries-players, clerks and park en-
ployes-will be voluntary.
But, 1t was said, an effort would
be made to persuade" reluctant
subscribers to cooperate so base
ball would be united in it's war ef-
fort. The players will wear special
emblems on the sleeves of their uni
forms to show that they are doing

New York, Feb. The
new manager Of the Philadelphia
Phillies. who probably still is a bit
embarrassed by it all, spent about
as much time in public at the base
ball convention as his team an
nually spends atop the National
league. Hans Lobert appeared twice,
but he bobbed in and out faster
than Jim Farley strides through an
election rally in Augusta, Maine.
The first time he breezad down
the hall outside the council cham
bers he was quicker afoot than Jesse
Owens on roller skates. The next
time he held an overcoat in front
of his face as if he wished to OBJ
scure his identity, pardonable
gesture from a man recently APP
pointed to pilot the unquestionably
worst team in either majc' league.
On this second sweep through
the corridor attempted to inter-
cept the ruddy faced veteran of
hundreds of losing ball games and
discover just how he felt when he
was snatched from his relatively
secure and thoroughly comfortable
position as Quaker coach and
forced to assume the horrors of

RANGERS DEFEAT
BROOKLYN AMERKS
fBy United Press

The New York Rangers took sole
possession of first place in the Ma
tional Hockey league Tuesday
night, shading the Brooklyn Amer
leans, 80. in an overtime game be-
fore II 1893 fans at Madison Square
Garden. The Rangers, who scored
in their 85th consecutive game,
needed only 10 seconds of the over
time for the winning marker, Alan
Kuntz scoring his second goal of
the night on Art Coulter's rebound.
Two goals by veteran winger Mush
March and a stellar display of goal
tending by Sam Lopresti earned
Chicago a So overtime triumph
over the Boston Bruins. March tied
the count at 3-3 with a 35-foot
drive in the third period and de-
cided the game at $40 of the over
time with his second goal. Lopresti
suffered severe cut over his left
eye in the second period and six
stitches were needed to close the
cash.

season is expected here Friday night
at the Stanley arena when George
Timothy Linnehan of Boston and

here a couple of weeks ago in 30
minute bout and it was an example
of how little rules mean to unortho-
dox matmen. The claret flowed
freely and both tried every trick
known to the game in an effort to
win. The bout was called a draw
and each contestant asked for re-

Maybe the captains weren't

they also handed the White Sox
the pennant. They were so inter-

This Is another Of a series Of
articles BY Ida Jsax Kahn IN
which she stresses physical it,

Today: Tonino the psetoraI
muscles. ~
BY IDA JEAN KAN
THERE ARE two things the
overweight can do about
problem bust measurement
bring the weight to normal with
a protective diet and tone the
supporting muscles with exer-
else.
The tissues In this area are
especially susceptible to fatty
infiltration and the only way
to reduce the size Of the bust Ii
to reduce the weight generally.
IT is the excess fat that causes
the bust to sag. But to improve
the contour. the skin and
muscles must be toned as the
weight is removed.
There is no much thing as q
magic lotion that will reduce the
size Of the bust, or develop il
for that matter.
But this measurement Is one
OF the first places to reflect a
loss or q gain In weight. 1t il
possible to reduce the size from
a AZ TO a 50 simply by taking
off the excess pounds.
Inerssss Vitality
But there Is more to dieting
than simply leaving off the fat
tening foods.
The low calorie menus must
high in the protective nutri-
.s to increase the vitality
while reducing. Vitality has a
direct influence on the glands
and the breasts are glands. Re
ducing rapidly and on an in
adequate diet would weaken the
bosom.
The backbone of your reduc-
ing diet must be the foods
strongly stressed in our ma tional
nutrition program. Milk. eggs.
cheese, lean meat. fish or fowl.
fresh fruits. green and yellow
vegetables, whole grain bread
and cereals.
These can be included In
adequate amounts for the 200
calories that meet the average
reducing requirements.
Tone Muscles
Now. about exercise. The
pectoral muscles need toninz.
The pectoralis ma or Is a large
fan-shaped muscle lying just
under the skin and spreading
r over each side Of the chest.
The action center OF this
muscle is in the upper arm, and
arm exercises with the arms at
shoulder level will tone the
muscles.
The exercise will not reduce
the measurement. but the i'm
proved tone OF the supporting
muscles gives a better contour.
Resistance and stretching bar
exercises are among the best.
Try these:
Place the fist of one hand In
the cupped palm OF the other
in front of chest Resist forcibly
with the left arm as you push
with the right until left elbow is
straight out from side. Then
push the other way. Repeat six
times for a starter.
