CARDINALS PLAN
SWIFT TRAINING

CAIRO, ILL.,, March 19.-R-
With only 10 days "down south"
to condition his team, Manager
Billy Southworth of the St. Louis
Cardinals drew on an experience
Of his own playing career in max
ing plans today for an intensified
spring training program.
Billy the Kid, who played out
field with the New York National
under John McGraw, recalled that
the Little Napoleon once sent the
Giants through IA innings of base
ball on the first day of a training
season, and ''it didn't hurt any Of
u.s."
With that in mind, Southworth
intends to start his own Cardi-
mails playing right off the bat in a
similar hurry-up system. How
ever, draft-engendered uncertain
ty about some players made it
problematical how many men
would show up for the opening of
the Redbirds' spring camp at Cal
70. tomorrow.
But as soon as possible, South
worth plans to hold one long work
out daily, starting about 1890 a.
m. with batting and fielding prac-
tlce and then swinging right into
an intra-squad game until 2 or
o'clock in the afternoon.
Because Of the limited time to
work with his recruits, the mana
ger also will hold evening "skulr'
sessions at the teams hotel, going
over the details and mechanics OF
various plays to be executed in
the outdoor drill.

was a greater milestone in his
career than setting a worlds rec,
ord in the mile rum
After 1880 spectators cheered
him on to sensational 1904
bankers mile victory in the Chi.
cago relays Saturday night, the
Boston Divinity student stepped to
the public address mike and ner.
vously said in effect that he was
more excited about his sermon al
Goshen than he was in his mile
race.
Unbeaten in seven consecutive
mile races this year, the. bespec-
tacled Dodds capped the indoor
season by breaking a worlds COM
petitive indoor record which only
a week before he had posted in
the Knights of Columbus meet at
New York with a time of 4:07.3.
The screaming throng in Chi
cago stadium and the competition
from Bill Hulse of the New York
Athletic club hurried the little
parson on to his sensational tri-
umph.
Hulse broke on top and kept
the lead the first lap, but Dodds
passed him in the second and was
never behind thereafter. Hulse,
however, kept glued to his back
for nine more laps before Dodds
opened the throttle, gulped in air
and swept home in front with 20
yards to spare.
Five official timers clicked him
at 1904 and the sixth tabled
him at 4:063
1t was the fastest official mile
ever run by an American, and is
topped only by Sweden's Arne An
derson with 4:026 and Gunder
Haegg with a 4:04.6. Glenn Cum
ningham turned in his famous but
unofficial 4:04.4 on Dartmouth
huge plank oval which requires
only five and a half laps for the
mile as compared with II on most
other indoor set ups. Dodds has
declined an offer to run on the
Dartmouth boards in an attempt
to best Cunningham's mark.
Dodds' record was accomplished
by blazing through the first quar-.
ter of the Bankers mile in 60
seconds flat, eight-tenths of a sec

ter if they had given the players
accordions and let the girl do the
dancing, even if the assault on
the ears would be terrible to be-
hold, or behear.
We have heard of prize fight
ers, notably Harry Greb, training
on dancing, and we have suspect
ed that some fighters we have
seen trained on waltz music, but
we still can't figure out how abil-
ity to do the rhumba is going to
help a lead-footed catcher throw
out a man at second base. After
all, the bail is thrown with the
arm.
The rhumba might be safer, at
that, than the exercise Bucky
Walters took on a free-lance basis
last year. Bucky tried little i'm
promptu high jumping, with re-
suits that possibly might have
knocked out any pennant chances
the Reds had. He injured his leg,
and wasn't his pitching self until
midseason.
We have an idea the other clubs
won't be copying McKechnie's
dancing class. They all don't have
Cuban experts on the FOSTERS, for
one. thing. And maybe all the play
ers aren't as docile as the Reds,
for another. After all, you can
drive a ball player only so far,

will balk-not the pitchers-if a
knitting class is suggested.

New York - Hollywood's little
known glamorizing trick of padding
the shoulders of net foundation
garment-instead of the suit, dress
or blouse-is yours for the taking.
'Take it." says Edith Head, IA
NOUS studio designer, who originate
ed the idea, "and. you can mould
your figure closer to your hearts
desire and nearer to Hollywoods
standards of perfection"
The under-cover device which
achieves all of this is an easy-to-
make bodice, for which you'll need
about / 1-2 yards of net, small
chunk of cotton batting, a scrap
of thin material to cover shoulder
pads, and few snap fasteners.
When you switch pads tackled in
the sleeves where you ordinarily
wear them to a foundation under
meath, shoulders look more like Ma
ture had built them. They move
with your body, making you look
more graceful than when "shoul-
ders" jerk up and down with a
dress or suit Then, too, you can
be cleverer at making shoulders
that give your posture a lift, dwarf
your hips and slice inches off your
waist.
