On the beach I always seemed to see him on back with his legs over his head, riding bicycle, or letting one of pals bounce a heavy medicine ball with might and main off his st ach, or doing calisthenics, or pegging a football about, getting muscles in shape for the hard fall campaign. And I suppose 1 country over boys were doing the same. No coach needed to them or admonish them or stand policeman over them.

Recently he told our own Francis Wallace that the party on the right, one Robert Moses Grove, is the greatest -pitcher that he ever handled which is covering a lot of ground, and pitchers; for in-rtance, Rube.Waddell, Eddie Plank, Herb Pennock, Chief Bender and Jack Combs, all of whom stood on the mound and threw them over for Coflnie. "The greatest pitcher I ever handled," says Connie. And you'll rind many a fan who won't argue (and many a one who will) if you were to say that meant the greatest that ever pitched.

Backfield men and-even linemen specialists, and quarterbacks must be strategists and field generals capable of directing an attack and fathoming a weakness. No wonder the boys are going to it now in the heat and while we are still thinking of summer IT isill like the rehearsal of a play, somehow, except that they it differently.
