JENNINGS WAGING WINNING BATTLE ON WHITE PLAGUE By the Associated Press. SHEVILLE, N. C, March 19.—Hughie Jennings, staunch member of base ball's old guard, is taking his first disciplined rest. After 35 years spent on the diamond of the national pastime, he has heeded the advice of his physicians, and today is fighting what appears to be a winning battle against the inroads of tuberculosis at the Winya Sani- tarium here. g Looking the picture of health in spite of the recent vague rumors concerning the gravens of his condition, Jennings yesterday gave a repre- sentative of the Associated Press the first opportunity the press had had to come in contact with him since he came here for a rest some six weeks ago. Jennings appeared in his dressing gown, heralded by the ever-watchfnul Mrs. Jennings, and allowed a pho: tographer to take several snapshots of the checkered gown, gray flanncl shirt and blue tie. The interview 143.3 MILES AN HOUR IS MADE BY McDONOUGH THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1926. Talks to Boys on Base Ball BY JOHN B. FQSTER. (This is the fourth of a series of articles by John B. Foster based on letters he has received from boys who seek his advice as to how to train so as to fit themselves to decome good ball players.) HOW A BATTER SHOULD TRAIN. ‘6 IDW can a boy, 16 years old, train to bat Class A pitching.~Winter Haven, Fla”’ ¥ That is an ambitious question to be asked by a boy 16 years of age, and the first impulse of many men of experience in base ball would be to reply to him that he was soaring too high in making such a request. After all, that is not so much the issuc between the boy and an answer, as his earnest desire to get information as to what he should do to train properly to become a batsman. If he is to develor into a high- class batsman, one class will look about like another until he confronts major league base ball, where he finds all the pitching stars grouped to puzzle him and as many other batsmen as come along. There is no set training system to]back and shoulder muscles than most become a batsman. It is not always| of the very young and the youfig out. The boy can eat so' much that he has no ambition to move. ‘The boys who wishes to train to be come a class A batter and after that @ cass AA batter should be satisfied with a moderate breakfast, a mod- erate luncheon and a dinner of good food in which there is plenty of vege- ‘l’a‘blu and a scarcity of ple and pud- ng. Some boys may think that this sug- gestion of eating in the right manner in order to train for batting is the oddest thing about which they have heard. It is not. There have been big batters, batters who should have lasted two and three years -longe: than they did in big league base ball, who simply ate themselves off the diamond at salaries better than $5.000 annualy into positions which barely pay $40 per week. So there is some relation between eating and batting. Practice, Practice, Practice. The technical training to become a batsman is practice. Simply that. Practice any time with a bat at hit- ting anything in the base ball line and do mnot hit everything. It is the good batsman and the good training which keeps a boy “anchored” when another is pitching to him until the boy to whom the ball is being pitchec “gets it where he wants it.” That't training the disposition, and the dis position has a lot to do with hitting class A pitchers. Any one of them who can get the batter to go after every seemingly good ball that he pitches will have the batter waiting for a permanent Job and a reputtation, but if the bat ter will make the pitcher throw the ball to him until efther the pitcher gives a base on balls or the batte: has had a ball he can hit, or must be hit because it is within the legal boundary of strike, the batter will be recefving the best training he possibly can have to become a batsman who can smash anything. (Copyright, 1926.) which followed was more in the na- ture of an everyday chat about the diamond and things pertaining to it. Dr. Paul Ringer, who is Jennings' physician here, when questioned to- s to the patient’s condition, ennings’ condition at the pres- ent is very satisfactory. He is cl ing the hill as rapidly as possible. Hopes to Get Back on Job. However. in his room at the sani- tarium, this grizzied veteran of many major league campaigns battles on and on with that old adage of the base ball player always in view that ‘‘the breaks are bound to come.” He still is hoping to return to the diamond this season. ‘When asked today the probable out- come of the two major league races this season, Jennings replied: 2 “It’s quite a problem to pick any wniner this early, as this Spring train- ing dope is no criterion by which to Judge. “About July 15 the team should begin running true to form and shap- ing for what might be the final wind- up, with few exceptions. The Ath- leties’ slump last season probably caused them to lose the American League pennant, while the New York Glants were crippled through prac- tically the entire season by not being able to use their regular infleld. Jennings Picks Contenders. “In the National it looks to me as if the first four will be New York, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cincinnati, while the American League will have six strong, well balanced and aggres- sive teams In New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louls, Chicago and Wash- ington battling for supremacy.” Asked about the Giants' chances at the pennant this season, Jennings stated: “With our infield intact, the Giants will be a hard team to de feat this vear. Groh will be back on third, Jackson at short, Frisch at sec- ond and Kelly on first. McQuillan, | Nehf, Greenfield, Fitzsimmons, Ring and Scott will give us a sextet of good pitchers, besides the youngsters coming on. “The Cardinals will have a punch with Hornsby and Bottomley and ®ood pitching. Cincinnati, with Don- ahoe, Rixey, Mays and Luque, should have one of the best staffs of hurlers In the league and a formidable com- bination to face,” he said. BREAKS SWIMMING MARK. BAY CITY, Mich., March 19 (#).— Walter Laufer, Cincinnati swimmer, clipped three-fifths of a second from Charley Spence's world record time for the 300-yard medley in the fea- ture event of a swimming meet. Laufer, swimming againet time and without being paced, negotiated the distance in 3 minutes 51 2-5 seconds. B One of the best sprinters at the Uni- versity of Kansas is a Chinese by the CULVER CITY, Calif., March 19 (®). An unofficial world record was set vesterday by Bob McDonough when he drove his racing car around the speedway track here at the rate of 143.3 miles an hour during trial spins preliminary to the races here next Sunday. MeDonough, who held the former record of 142.2 miles per hour, es- tablished during practice for the Washington day race at Miami, Fla., made his fast lap in 31.4 seconds. the boy with the greatest strength who can hit the ball farthest, nor is it the man with the greatest strength who can do that. There are men more powerful than Babe Ruth who cannot begin to drive a ball as he can, and there are men much slighter than Ruth who can hit at times quite as well. The greater proportion of batters who hit the ball very hard—"drive it,” as they say in professional ranks —are men of more strength in thelr With the Bowlers ANKERS' DUCKPIN LE/ B GUE tourney tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at Convention Hall alleys, the Washington Loan and Trust Co. team rolling in the doubles and will open its seventh annual Spring singles. The entry list in the doubles and singles has been so large as to compel President Pollock cf the organization to start these events a week ahead of their regular schedule. Teams are scheduled to roll on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of next week in the last of the season’s schedule, scotes made on those nights counting in the league records as well as in the tourney. The tournament will wind up a week from tomorrow, when all the re- maining singles and doubles will be rolled. The committee has provided two classes for teams, the first seven in the standings being assigned to class A, with the remaining seven being in class B. In singles and doubles four classes are to be maintained, all bowl- ers with averages of 102 or over going into class A. Averages from 97 to 102 will determine entrants in class B, with those having less than a 97 aver- age taking rank in class C. An un- usual feature is the provision of a class D. open only to those employes of the 14 banks having teams entered in the league who have not estab- lished an average. Should a class D man double.with a man classified in A, B or C, the double goes into the class of the partner having an estab- lished average. The committee has arranged an attractive prize list. The final five games of the annual match between the Southern Railway clerks of this city and the quint rep- resenting the Norfolk and Western Railroad of Roanoke will be rolled to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock on the Convention Hall drives. The Roanoke team established a lesd of 144 pins on their own alleys, and the local bowlers will have to stir themselves to win. A large delegation will accompany the Roanoke quint to this city. Capt. Perse Ellett of the Odd Fel- Jows' League Stars finally has decid- ed upon the five men he will send in against the crack La Fayete quint of the Masonic League tomorrow night name of Wongwai. at the King Pin No. 1 dr Arthur Urban is to lead off, the veteran, John Harville, will be‘in second place, with Arthur Logan at pivot. Ellett will be the fourth man, with Howard Campbell at anchor. This is a for- midable aggregation. The fun starts at 7 o'clock. Petworth of the District League gave the Stanford Paper Co. quite a battle last night, although the odd game went to the latter, After drop- ping the first, Petworth buckled up and rolled the Papermen to a 545 tie. However, Stanford grabbed the roll- off by a half dozen maples. The suburbanites got and copped the final game. In the Masonic League Trinity grabbed two from Hope, the latter winning their game in a roll-off. Co- lumbia, No. 3, staged a clean sweep battle with Dawson, winning the first game by flve pins and the other two by large margins. Osiris grabbed a ipair from National, losing the second game by five pin Knights of Columbus, in the Na- tional Capital League, garnered two out of three from the Regulars. Ber- chu of the Knights was the star, with a set of 366 and a game of 130. » Three good games were bowled last night by Mines of the Interior League, which resulted in a clean sweep, the Indians being the victims. McCor- mack of Mines carried off the honors, with a set of 351 and a game of 135. ST WINS HAND BALL TITLE. WEST POINT, N, Y., March 19.— Cadet Charles B, Stone of Washing- ton was a member of the doubles team that won the corps hand ball cham- pionship in the thirty-second annual interclass meet of the corps of cadets at the United States Military Acad- emy. down to business|d men who play ball. Greedy Eaters Are Handicapped. Thére is no necessity to enter upon any rigorous diet to develop into a batsman of power. There is none necessary to develop into a batsman of skill. The boy who eats greedily of everything, especially those, foods that fatten and clog the digestive tract, will not develop into much of a player, whether batsman or flelder, because his stomach and intestinal channels will be 8o occupled in taking care of his.appetite stuffing that the remainder of his body will be slowed up. It's just like putting too much coal on the furnace. Instead of E ing to the consumption of the fuel and the generation of heat the dld furnace gets so full that the fire goes The Adopted Wife (Continued from Page Forty-two.) always called Padraic “that philan- derer.” “The poor child is in love for the first time, and of course she wants to be alone, to dream of her lover when she's not with him.” He grew to detest Padraic so thor- oughly that it was hard for him to be civil to the young man, and in conse- quence he was overcivil. Any one geeing them together would have thought the Irishman a special pro- tege of his, or a young relation to whom he was particularly attached. His own consciousness of this weak- ness on his part only made him e Padraic more than ever. . “What a rum specimen he is! thought Padraic in his turn. “It's as if he were glad to be marrying Celia off, and wanted me to know ijt. T don’t believe he has any red cor- puscles in his blood: only semi-colons. Of course, being a decent chap, he’ll give her a divorce, but you'd think he'd at least pretend he didn’t want to do it.” He was by now heels over head in love with Celia, and was only waiting for some supremely fitting moment in which to tell her so. “She's such a blessed virgin,” he thought, smiling with sheer joy at her nalve obtuse- ness to his very evident state of mind, “that it will take a torrent of words and kisses to show her a man's In love with her.” He had come to think that such a virginal creature in these days was even rarer than a mermaid. He couldn't wait much longer, though. May was a perfect month, and he saw the perfect moment shining close at hand. His “intentions” were quite as ordinary and honorable as Hilary could have desired. He wanted Celia to be his wife as soon and for as long a time as life permitted. (Copyright, 1926, by Amelie Rives.! (Continued tomorrow.) ALL Our Used Cars Are Going!
