JThis statement wUl bring a loud and lusty squawk from many ball players, but It happens to carry more than a mere shade ot truth. Anyway, the coaches and trainers who felt this way about it. should know what they are talking about. "This, of course, doesn't include all ball payers," one trainer said. "But it includes too many of them. Most of them couldn't do half the job a pro football player has to face. Watch most of them hit a triple and you'll find them puffing at third base and that's less than 100 yards. They don't turn in enough road work to build up their legs.

Belgian Blocks Belgian blocks are stone paving blocks, generally granite, cut as truncated pyramids with the base five to six inches square, a depth of seven to eight inches and the face opposite tlie base slightly smaller than the base. They are called "Belgian" blocks, according to builders, because it is probable that they were first used or perfected in Belgium. 8evere Stmtmrn' Contrary to popular belief, gunburn is not as severe at the seashore as it is in the mountains, according to the Better Vision institute. The burning ultra-violet rays in the sunshine are absorbed to a large extent by the atmosphere. At high altitudes where the sun rays move less distance through the air, and thus lose less of their tanning power, the burning of the skin is more rapid and more severe than at sea level. But whether one goes to the shore or to the mountains for a vacation, ifs a good idea, concludes the institute, to wear sunto protect the eyes from ottt-eioietiagri, _ them do. Last season the New York Giants had Mel Hein, Herber and Ken Strong, each with nearly 20 years of football behind him. There have been many others such as Hutson with 10 or 12 years already cashed in. ' "For example I see where Detroit's Tigers this season have 43 exhibition games. This means a total of 197 contests from March to October, s long march that demands the best sort of physical shape. Many of them will be ready for this endurance test. But quite a lot won't be, unless they make a far harder effort to get in shape and keep in shape than so macy have made in tm past. Those tellows heading south early are the smart ones. Tliis will he the toughest season any of them trill have ui tackle."
