BY FRED TURBYVILLE N. E. A. Sports Writer They’ve gone baseball crazy at the Elgin State hospital for the insane. But Superintendent Ralph Hinton, says baseball dementia is preferable to tients are being cured and improved steadily. The hospital is an institution for the insane at the little city just west of Chicago. In it are more than 2100 patients and almost every two-thirds | of that number forget all their gloom and moroseness and glory in the great national game. “Baseball is the great American game and is second nature to every man and boy” said Miss Isabelle Roor- bach, superintendent ‘of occupational therapy, under whose charge all ath- letics are conducted. “Baseball is minds of many of the boys; they’re they’re happier,” said Miss Kathryn Jennings, physical director who or- ganized the baseball teams and is coach of the players. This institution—a pioneer in the sports cure for sick minds—is no lon- | ger a place of gloom. They’re base- pall ray and happier and better off or it. They're seeing daily games replete with brilliant fielding performances, batting and base-running—everything but inside baseball. The players do little thinking. Many of the athletes are young men suffer- ing from dementia praecox—a disease of the mind that brings on moroseness and destroys the brain cells. The pa- tients are never violent. They lose aggressiveness. _ The games therefore lack the “in- side stuff” we hear so much about and EVERYTHING IN HARMONY IN HOME OF Everything is in harmony at th home of the Chicago Cubs.

They're painted a dark green, their being hardly a break in the effect when the eye travels from the neatly cropped grass field to the structure. Even Announcer Kingston wears a dark green suit to match the} grass and stands. Out in front of the park is a little park which contains the team mascot—the Malay Cub. The| Malay Cub succeedes old Jonah, who outgrew his usefulness and was get- ling rather /shaggy looking. Jonah went to the Chicago zoo. The first Cub mascot was “Joa,” a cub bear given the team by J. Ogden Arfnour and named from his initials.. The séc- ond mascot was a present to Charley Weeghman and was a native of the Wisconsin woods. The third and present incumbent was presented the cluub by Charley De Vry, keeper of the zoo. It is a Malay cub, satiny e ie the home fans are raising the roof off the grandstand the bear growls a little but at other times he is very quiet. Of course, he likes peanuts.

BASEBALL DEMENTIA PREFERRED 10 PLAIN EVERYDAY INSANITY there also is an absence of the fighting | spirit. I saw John Reardon, who formerly starred in the big leagues, called at first on a very close play—he really looked safe—and yet he turned and left the bag without a word. | I saw Arnold Hauser, former star. shortstop with the St. Louis Cards and later a Federal leaguer, make brilliant stops and one-handed catches, bang out a single, triple and home run. Yet he pulled nothing clever in the “inside game.” Hauser is the star of the team and his mind is improving, He at first was a bad player on the hospital team. | He would make a brilliant catch in the from his hands. He was stubborn and wouldn’t follow instructions. _Now he is a reliable fielder, polite to the girl coach and ready. always to oblige. It was noticeable that Hauser al- ways made for the bench after coming in from the field. It was like watching him back in the old days. His every movement on the field brought back the big league days. But he doesn’t remember-them. He is, however, becoming interested in big league baseball. He reads the pa- pers and follows the big leaguers. He casionally and see a game between semi-pro teams. reach first safely when the first base- man of the doctor’s team dropped the ball. He then turned: the wrong way. But in the second inning following Chief Clerk Marsh told Beard if he would hit a homerun and bring in the three baserunners he should have a watermelon. And Beard hit the ball They’re taking up other athletics— ! basketball, track and field sports, bag punching, etc, for several minutes he went through the motions of shadow boxing and walking about the ring between rounds.

From | that time on his mand was affect- ed. Three years ago he was placed in the hospital. He gradually grew worse but when baseball was start- ed and Hauser was coaxed to play he became better. If he keeps on improving as -he has this summer he may be able to leave the asy- lum. The same is true of several | of the other present inmates. i Fred Barnett, former bantamwejght ¥. tired of watching the ball game and |the sport world seem to recall the old retired to the rear of the crowd where |days. Yet they are happy when they can play again. And it is confidently believed each and everyone of them will ‘show great improvement in mind and some of them may again be cured and returned to their homes and friends. Baseball is a wonderful sport and sport sare the best cure for most sick minds, ————————— BY RICHARD SPILLANE. In Massachusetts on the links of the Wollaston club near Quincey a state police officer stopped all members who were playing golf on Sunday. In Philadelphia, after the courts had refused to grant an injunction re- straining boys from playing baseball and hoys and girls from playing ten- nis and croquet in Fairmount Park on ‘Sunday the Sabbath Observance So- ciety announced it would ask for the arrest of men who played golf at the varicus clubs on Sunday. The action of the Philadelphia so- ciety was due to the charge made that it was active in checking the! play of the poor but blind to .or afraid of interfering with the Sun- day pastimes of the rich. To the masses golf is little/but to tens of thousands of men it is some-j thing of great consequence. Base- ball may be the national game but its devotees are mild in their devotion compared with the adherence of golf- ers to golf. The earnest golfer never lets busi- ness or anything else interfere with his golf. Nothing in the world is so important as golf. To restrict it, as the Sabbatarians propose, is little short of taking from him that which the constitution grants—life, liberty. and the pursuit of happiness. pe To the golfer the pursuit of the golf ball over nine or 18 holes is happi- ness especially if his score is’ some- thing to brag about. Of late years the golfer has had| more troubles than should be crowded into the life of a conscientious golfer. The 19 hole has been plugged up,.or nearly so. Some of the finest work of the day formerly was done there- abouts. Then the war came. It took many players from the greens, raised the costs. added. much to the-iroubles: of NOW IT’S PROHIBITION OF GOLF But, those ills were borne with forti- tude: This. new. danger, however, is. too much.
