Way to Develop Tennis
Game Given by Writer
Because the incidentals of golf are
so expensive and the game itself takes
so much time, it cannot be followed
up by the average business man tbe
way only tennis can, declares a writer
in Boys’ Life.
The way to develop a tennis game,
advises the writer, is to work on the
ground stroke, especially the back-
hand drive. The grip comes first.
Those used by the great American,
French and Australian players, world’s
champions these past fifteen years, for
both backhand and forehand, are the
best to be adopted. One’s eyes must
always be on the ball he is to stroke.
The ground stroke is a full length
arm swing, either for forehand or
backhand, to be performed by swing-
ing back easily, racket firmly gripped,
no tension to muscles. Rigidity must
be avoided in the grip and swing, and
: speed of arm swing alone counts in
both tennis and golf.
Ask Connie Mack
mm
i|4'
The 1920 world series will be played
between the Chicago Cubs and the
Philadelphia Ahtletics. If you don’t
believe if ask Connie Mack. Tire sixty-
seven-yea r-old lender of the world
champions made the prediction recent-
ly when Ins club was -battling the
White Sox.
“You know, 1 was a little worried
about my boys until we started thrpugh
the West. The pitchers were a hit
unsteady and the chib was not hitting
as it should.” Mack commented. "But
they are beginning to click now. From
now on we will be hard to beat.”
Lynford Lary Cured of
Homesickitis by Ruth
When Lynford Lary joined the New
York Yankees he was exposed to the
disease . known as homesickitis, and
suffered considerably in getting accus-
tomed to the East. According to Lary.
-it wits none other than Babe Ruth who
cured him.
Ruth was in the Yankee clubhouse
one afternoon when Lary entered,
dressed more like an actor, out of a
joK-than a bait-player. Flannel trbus-.
ei£7“h^v.shpesf a silk shirt, a.blue
coat With;a gaudy handkerchief stuck
in the;upper pocket. Lary presented a
picture such as; one only sees in cloth-
ing store ads.
Ruth took one look, a good, long one
at that, and said:
“Hello, Broadway,” shouted the
Babe.
"Gee,” said Lary later, telling about
it. “It made me feel like one of the
boys, a real N’Yawker. That’s me.

Corneliians Rounded
Corner of Mediocrity
Winding up its athietic contests for
the academic year 1929-1930 b.v taking
n prominent part in tbe victory of the
combined Cornell-Princeton track team
over Oxford and Cambridge the other
day, the wearers of the Red and
White brought to a close one of the
most successful athletic years of the
university. By splitting even in a
total of 91 athletic contests iri 12
sports and by winning championships
in four sports, tlie Corneliians have
definitely turned the corner of medi-
ocrity and have revived memories of
the strong athletic traditions of a
decade ago.
Notable come-backs were staged in
rowing, football, wrestling, track and
lacrosse. Championships were won in
drew and wrestling, and ties for first
place were achieved in indoor track
and lacrosse.

LYONS URGED TO
AVOID PITCHING
Most Ball Players Would
Prefer Outfield.
Considering his immense success on
the mound, it is interesting to note
that when Ted Lyons of the Chicago
White Sox first came to the majors
Frank Bridges, his coach at Baylor
where Ted earned half his tuition by
playing the trombone in the college
band, urged him not to sign as a
pitcher.
Ted probably has enough fielding
and hitting ability to make good in
either the infield or outfield, and he
admits, too, that he thinks it would
be more fun to be in there every day.
The sort of treatment the pitchers get
these days with the clean and lively
balls is enough to drive all but the
hardiest to cover.
On the other hand, the White Sox
tried to get Bib Falk, who was even
a bigger shot than Ted during their
days on the college diamonds down in
Texas, to continue as a pitcher in the
big leagues, but he sidestepped the
job. Most of the players would like
to follow Falk’s example and play out-
field. A man lasts longer there and
all he lias to be able to do is hit,
which is fun, anyway.
Lou E. Marsh, famous Canadian
sports authority, says, “The remedy
to cure foul punching is simply to en-
force the rule which has been in ex-
istence ever since boxing became a
legalized sport—disqualify the boxer
who fouls, deprive him of his entire
purse, and set him down for life if he
is guilty of persi|tent fouling.”
One. of the best college baseball
prospects is Billy Sullivan’s son, who
plays first base fpr Notre Dame. He
is built about like Shires, but is a good
deal looser. The White Sox with
whom his father was a famous catcher,
scouted him along with several other
clubs this spring. He wants a flock
of money, however, to sign.
Cynics sometimes compare the big
business of college football to a
gigantic poker game. Diplomatic cir-
cles of college athletics reverberated
with a story of how it cost one of the
members $500,000 to see the hand of
one of the other players.
Harry Hillman, coach of Dartmouth
university track team has introduced
a new hurdle designed to reduce the
danger of bad falls and injuries, as
a result of a year’s experimentation
by Hillman in co-operation with. Earl
Thomson aud Harold Barron.
American league critics give Walter
Johnson credit for smart handling of
liis players. He has developed Joe
Cronin into a star shortstop and he
has assembled a pitching staff that is
one of the stumbling’blocks to Amer-
ican league hitters and pennant con-
tenders.
Johnson kept working with Ad Liska,
the former Minneapolis righthander,
with Bob Burke and with Lloyd Brown.
He saw the winning possibilities of
these fellows and he stuck with them,
lending them the advice of his rich
pitching experience and backing them
with a support that served to give
them confidence.
And look at them now. And look
at the Washington’club.
Yep, Clark .Griffith' must have been
peering into the future with an eagle
eye on the box office when he named
Walter Johnson as his manager.
Sporting leaders are beginning to
wonder how far the business depres-
sion will affect sports. Night games
and Sunday double-headers are being
used to pep up baseball. The Ken-
tucky derby fell below standard in
attendance, and most of the. prize
fights have kicked the bucket. That
harder times are anticipated in foot-
ball this fall is indicated by the action
of one of the big schools, which re-
cently cut loose an assistant coach
merely to save his salary.
Ohio State will mail 70,000 applica-
tion blanks for its football games to
he played in the Columbus stadium.

THREE-HORNED UNICORN
'7"'HE ordinary unicorn was formerly
-»• rather common in England, hut the
three-horned variety was always quite
rare. Caesar had a ranch of them
on the Nottingham road two miles
west of London, and drove a pair of
them down Pall Mall every Sunday
morning. When the novelty wore off,
he found that they could, be put to
work drilling the holes in macaroni,
but such menial labor caused them to
die soon of humiliation, and until re-
cently the holes have been drilled by
hand.
A double peanut, in which a tooth-
pick and clove horns have been firmly
sc-t, does for the head. To this are
fastened popcorn ears and a spaghetti
neck. Beyond this is a brazil nut
body with toothpick legs and split pea-
nut feet. The tail can be anything,
but as you can’t see it, it doesn’t
make much difference.

ON THE KING WHO
WOULD DRIVE A TRAIN
A NEWS dispatch frqm Bulgaria
■Lx tells us that when the Plevna ex-
press arrived at Sofia, the capital,
several minutes late a short time ago,
the engineer was subjected to a severe
reprimand from the station chief.
When the station chief had con-
cluded his “tongue lashing” he discov-
ered that the engineer to whom he had
been talking was Boris, the king, who
had gone to the station unannounced
and obtained permission to drive the
train, which is his favorite hobby!
A king who would drive a train !
And there have been statesmen who
wanted to be gardeners and princes
who wanted to be jockeys or nat-
uralists or newspaper reporters. Many
a scion of wealth and high station
finds the work which lie loves in a
plebian calling. A well-known capi-
talist was found driving a taxicab at
night, the heir to a million dollar bank
wants to be an actor, a Vice President
of the United States would he a com-
poser, Professor Einstein gets his fun
out of being a violinist, and I know a
famous surgeon who wants to be a
painter, and a Supreme court judge
who wants to write guide books and
is more flattered by a reference to
himself as an author tlum he could he
by any possible compliment ’ to his
judicial qualities.
Funny, .isn’t, it ?
And it’s enough to make one won-
der If with those of us in jthe less
exalted walks of life many of the
things, we wish for. the things we
would like to do and be. the “places”
for which we would gladly exchange
our own, are alluring not because
they are intrinsically more interest-
ing or profitable or exalted, dr even
better suited to us than our own—
but just, betahse they are not our own.

WLy We D.o
What We Do
by M. K. THOMSON, Ph. D.
WHY WE GET NERVOUS
T Y 7 E’ SAY that a man is nervous
VV when he cannot control his mus-
cles. He twitches, moves about, and
performs a great many unnecessary
movements.
%
The causes for this type of nervous
activity are several and varied. It
may be due to fatigue, overwork,
physical and mental strain, fear,
anxiety, sense of guilt, and other
causes.
The mental state of anxiety and
fear are the causes which reveal the
nervousness that is characteristic of
a person who has committed some
crime or is about to.commit one. The
mind affects not only the body muscles
but also the glands of internal secre-
tion. In every instance of feat, no
matter how induced, the glands stim-
ulate activity. But in the absence
of opportunity for physical exertion
this vitality expresses itself in ran-;
dom movements that we speak of as
nervousness.
Nervousness is nature’s method of
getting the animal on edge, to prepare
him for an emergency, to enliven and
quicken him. Tile squirrel is all
aquiver with expectation. Hence it„
is almost impossible to surprise him.
The random activity of the nervous
person is not altogether wasted. He |
is like the batter at the plate who
swings his bat seemingly unneces-
sarily before the ball is pitched. In
reality he is getting set. Without this
extra alertness on his part he might
not hit at all. The golfer also makes
such random movements preparatory
to actually striking the ball.
We are nervous usually only when
there is occasion for being on our
toes mentally and physically, to meet
some -emergency. The extra energy
and useless movements are essential
to keeping us on edge and are taken
to be the sign of a person about to do
something.

FOOD FOR THE BABY
SUPERSTITIOUS
« • - SUE
* * *
tpVERY mother-knows, when she has
given thought and study to feed-
ing children, that it is not always an
easy thing to persuade them to like
and enjoy the foods that are good for
them.
Beginning • wheD a baby, before
habits are formed is the best time to
train them to jeat that which is put
before them.
Now the giving of orange juice is
begun at a much earlier, date...than
formerly. It. should always. be. given
fresh .and well strained.. Very few
babies will refuse a spoonful of
orange juice. All food's, as they gfov,’
older and are able to assimilate' tiffin-,
should hie giveh them as a matter of
course and they will', accept ..them
usually without protest,. if started
young enough.
:Only the best quality of foods should
be given to. children. Milk should' bo
clean, fresh and of first gradb; eggs,
and butter, vegetables and ■ fruits
should be fresh, sound and ripe.
When economy must be practiced
as it is in most homes, the child’s fodd
should be the. last item to feel it.
At three weeks fresh strained orange
juice may be given the baby twice a
day between feedings; one teaspoon-
ful at four weeks; one and one-half
"teaspoonfuls — one tablespoonful — at
two months; two tablespoonfuls at
four to six months. Boiled - .water
should be used in the same proportion.
- Orange juice,, which is the first food
other than mrtk which is giveri the
baby, is rich in vitamin C which is
present' in fresh milk, but by the
process, of pasteurization and boiling
this element is destroyed. Vitamin G
promotes growth and protects the in-
fant against .scurvy. Vitamin C m the
orange juice aids in the development
of good teeth which should be. started
right, before the child is born. Orange
juice with its laxative quality is es-
pecially good to keep the small. ali-
mentary canal in good working order.
The usual method of giving orange
juice to young babies is to strain it
carefully, add the equal amount of
boiled water (both cool) to the juice
and feed from a bottle.
Here are a few good health rules to
be foltdwed from babyhood up to tbe
time they leave home for the outside
world;
See that the child ‘ has ten hours”
sleep each night in a room with open
windows.
Plays outdoors a part of each. day.
Brushes teeth well before retiring.
Washes hands and face before
meals. „ .
Has a full hath more than'once &
week. ’
Has- at least one bowel movement
daily.
Drinks plenty of'good water dally
—six glasses is not too much. ”

SHE HAD HEARD THAT—
If a bride-to-be wants to have good
fortune during her married life, take a
hunch from the Japanese who believe
that if the ceremony is performed on
a high hill or mountain, the good lady
luck will attend them always.

Woman, Lovely Woman
There is a big difference between
women and men. You take a man.
When the least little thing gets the
matter with him he flops down in
bed, grunts and groans as if he were

or two. But take a woman and she
■will be dying in the middle of the
night and the next morning she’ll he
