WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1925 World Results By Leased Wire INJURY AND ILLNESS STALKING PLAYERS IN AMERICAN LEAGUE Maranville and Hauser to Be Out of Game Most of Season; Babe Ruth Unable to Start Play Next Tuesday. NEW YORK, April 8.—(By The Associated Press.) — Injury and illness, which have left the ranks of National league teams depleted, now have set upon those of the American. The training season has enacted a heavy toll, and at least two great infield players, Walter “Rabbit” Maran- BUSINESS MEN INATHLETICS Many Are Willing to Spend Heavily in Cutting Weight. BY HISNRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, April 8.—(United ‘\Press)—Fat business men, willing to spend generously to recover a per- fect “thirty-eight” figure are pro- viding a very prosperous business as side line for prominent athletes. Gymnasiums, directed by retired fighters and athletes are doing a flourishing business all over New York and the larger cities, and golf clubs are unable to accommodate the number of weighty customers who want to combine pleasure with the labor of getting into shape. There are so many possibilities in the new business of thinning down the nation that Benny Leonard abandoned a ring profession that was worth at least $100,000 a year to teach physical culture. A New York publisher has made millions of dollars out of periodicals and magazines devoted almost exclusive- ly to physical culture. The business is made especially good by the number of repeaters. Repeaters are customers who take one course, go back to their other jode of living and have to come back for another course. One cure seldom works, because it is hard to keep up the exercises and the train- ing when they become monotonous. “Any one can reduce and stay re- duced by following simple exercises daily." Dan Morgan, veteran box- ing manager, said recently in discus- sing the case of Joe Stoessel, a giant heavyweight, who has developed into one of the best prospects in the class. “Stoessel was a brick handler and had» had some success as a fighter in the amateur class,’ Morgan said. “He came to me and said he wanted to get into the professional game and I told him he could never hope to get any place in the professional ring until he reduced. He weighed 290 pounds at that time and he said he was willing to get off some of his surplus flesh. Y sent him to a gymnasium, preserihed a series of exercises and told him to do plenty of oad work. I never expected to hear from him again, but he turned up in less than a year and you would hardly know him. He had reduced to 215 pounds and he still welghs around that poundage,” es SOLONS TAKE TWO STRAIGHT FROM GIANTS WASHINGTON, thused over their second straight victory aver the Glants at Augusta yesterday, 6 to 4, the Senators were slated for another game with their world series rivals there today be- fore moving on to the national capital tomorrow to ahow the home folks again what they look like in competition’. with the National league champions.

The FOLWELL is the sort of hat most men like—if you don't happen to be one of its admirers, there are other Gordons in the new styles and colors. Tune in on this hat— it ll be on the air every- where this spring. Smart young men will be under it. GORDON HATS ville, of the Chicago Cubs, and Joe Hauser, of the Philadelphia Athle- tics, will be out of the game for the greater part of the year. Maranville, who was expected to become the foundation fn the re- building of the Cubs, early in the preliminary season, slid into third base only to come up with a broken leg. The rabbit had been obtained in a trade with Pittsburgh to take the place of Charley Hollocher, who remains too Ill to report, Hardly had the tears caneed by this mishap had time to dry when Denver Grigsby, regular outfielder of the Cubs, suffered a broken collar bone. Jimmy McAuley, Los An‘ gtles shortstop, will endeavor to take Maranville’s place, and “Twin Six" ‘Arnold Statz, Cliff Heathcote and Hack Miller are expected to guard the outfield until Grigsby can return. In the loss of Hauser, Connie Mack suffered as serious a blow as Jack Hendricks of ths Cincinnati Reds, when Jake Daubert died dur- ing the winter. Fred Heimach, a lefthanded regular box man of the Athletics, will be unable to take his turn at the start of the season as he has suffered a dislocated should- er. Meanwhile, illness more serious than the previous attacks this spring, has put an end to Babe Ruth's appearance for the Yankees for the time being and he will be unable to start against Washington at the Yankee stadium Tuesday.

It is odd that both Ohio Jor league clubs should be solici- tous about first base in the same season, The Cincinnati's think they have theirs but many folks worry about it. Cleveland has both Knode, the youngster who has been in the south ard George Burns, but is not banking so heavily on either of them that the management is clos- ing its eyes to the possibility of ac. quiring a future great or takin first baseman who is r Knode handles himself rather well around first base but he doe! appear to be a player who will ever develop into a strong batter. Old Jiggs Donohue could play first base in his time ang not hit much, He had a faculty of being a handy man in spite of the fact t he never batted hard. But there wa only There never has appeared a first baseman quite like him since. Burns of Cleveland 1s batt better this year than he did there are times when-he-plays first base as well as any of the right handers, but he varies his pace. Stephenson coud! make a hit for life If he could play first. A ball play- er who can hit like he does « ly has a-portion of hard 1 his share because of his speed. If he had Knode's Knode had his batting abilit land would have a first baseman who would lead the American league as an all-around product. The Cleveland club needs a first baseman to balance up its team. With Fewster at second, Joey well at short and Lutzke at third, there is more speed on their field than Cleveland had last year, but all three of them need a target to which to throw. If George Kelly could be taken out of the National league from the Giants and placed in Cleveland, the Indians, or what- ever they call themselves now, would be pennant contenders in the American league r Just that one change would revolutionize the team.
