scoring. with 46 field goals and 2t
fouls for a total of 116 points. with
Erwin "Ears" Holmes. former Frank—

to scte that omitting Frank's 24 fouls
Jake would still be one. point ahead of
Holmes so his foul shooting has not
given him the lead. but general all-
around linsket-tosslng has. Frank is
at: present displaying an uncanny abil-
ity in scoring from the floor and has
Jumped way out in front in scoring on

ing line; Skldd is third with 28 double
deckers and 25 free throws. while

three games have been piling up the
points. Skidd got 12 points in Shelton.
and Fineson got 10. against Fairficld
on the Jefferson school floor Friday
evening. Frank has the highest in-
dividual score. for any one game in

By NBA Service.
ST. LOUIS. Feb. 26.—-—Here is some
bad news for George Herman Ruth.
\Vhen the 1922 American League sea-
son closed Lee Fohi’. mafihger of the
St. Louis Browns. engaged in a long
with Southpaw Hubert
Pruett. his kid phenom.
Among other things, Prueit had
fanned Ruth 10 out of the first 13
times the home-run king faced the
youngster.
But there were times last summer
when kinks around the left shoulder
stiffened the precious left arm with
the result that frequently Pruett was
laid up for repairs.
Fohl. studying the frequent kinks.
decided that it wasn't altogether
Pruett's left arm that made his young-
ster useless. He was of frail build
and. according to Fohl. there was a
physique that could use at least 20
pounds.
"You're going home for the winter."
was Fohl's advice to Pruett. "Take my
tip and live in the open as much as
possible. Get a job digging gutters.

heavy boxet—anything that will give
you exercise and fresh air. You’re
young and you're not fully developed
and you want to harden those muscles
and put on more weight.” -
Lee Fohl received a letter from
Pruett the other day which contained
this information: “‘
“I have gained 18 pounds this win-
ter and I‘m still going up. I have had
the benefits of massage treatment

Champion Tells How He Retains Complete Mystery of Sport .
BY “11.1.11: HOPPB
How do you do it?
During my recent tour of the west
many billiard enthusiasts put that
question to me.
They had reference to my good for-
tune in being able to keep looking
young and playing good billiards.
"Just lucky." I have replied to most
of the queries. However, more than
mere 'iuck has played a part in my
good fortune as a billiard player. In
this article I will try to briefly explain
why good fortune has smiled on me so
sweetly. v
Clean living is the greatest asset of
an athlete. I have never dissipated.
I cannot afford to dissipate. I trust
I will be excused from the algma of
cgotlsm when I say the. game of bil-
liards demands superlative skill.
Tam-h Important Asset.
The touch of the fingers on the cue
and the imparting of that touch to me
balls demand that the mind and body
be absolutely free from ills.
A sense of delicate touch is the most
important thing in the game—it is
nine-tenths of good playing. It comes
from experience. of course. Eyesight
is importantv—but not so important as
the other faculty.
The hand executes in billiards. It
isn't hard. then, to understand what
an important part good health plays
in the game when there are hundreds
of shots that call for 1'56 shaving of a
ball to the thousandth of an inch.
The stomach is one organ,that is
easily put out of kilter and a disgrun-
tled stomach quickly affects the entire
system. A headache is a simple ail-
ment—but it is a. simpler ailment to
avoid having. The proper care of the
system will eliminate the possibility of
such an irritant.
The fact that I have traveled'tens
of thousands of miles and played tens
of thousands of games. under any and
all conditions. speaks well. I believe.
for my system of taking care of.my-
scli'.
We are told that the human body 3
more delicate than the finest machine
of iron and steel—yet most of us!
scarcely give it half the, thought'we
would bestow on an automobile or a
bicycle. If it keeps going most of us
are content. I believe that good health
goes for sportsmanship. A healthy
body usually means a. healthy mind
and a healthy mind generally strings
along with the healthy desire to see
the other fellow get justice, in business
or sports. '
Real Test Off Table.
The test of health in billiards is not
so drastic on the table as of! it.
It takes nerve. cold nerve. a com-
plete clamping down on the imagina-
tion to sit by and watch an opponent
click off point after point-with mono-
tonous regular“?-
, It gets terribly on the nerve. That
is why I consider billiards the hardest
of all sports. It demands perfect co-
