DEATH LIST,


now coming to close, As usual foot.
hall leads with twenty.one victims.
Baseball is second, with eleven fatal
strike.outs, and the running turf next,
with nine fatalities. Boxing. suppos.
cd to be the most brutal of all sports,
recorded only six deaths, which is only
one more than the total for the year
previous.
A noticeable fact in connection with
the lists of deaths for the past season
Is that automobiling, which is general.
ly regarded as a dangerous sport, has
but two fatalities to record for the
whole year. The names of young
Frank Croker and his machinist are
the only ones inscribed on the list.
Three of the most notable men in the
professional ranks, however, Oldfield,
Kiser and Jay have met with serious
accidents.
Baseball this year was rather a
pleasant pastime compared with the
previous year, when twenty.one ANA.
teur and seml.professional players
met death on the field. Only eleven
we're killed this year.
Even the sports that seem the SAT.
est claimed victims in 1905. One man
was killed while playing golf, another
lost his life at polo, and another was
killed while wrestling. Two young
athletes met their deaths while prac'
Using in gymnasiums.
There were three well.known jock
oys killed while performing at various
tracks. namely, Wonderly, Wenricli
end McCaffety.
The majority of football players and
boxers killed were unframed, unknown
athletes.
TIC the casual observer Il Is plainly
apparent: first, that football Is most
dangerous sport: second, AUTOMOBILE
/ ing is not as death dealing as many
suppose: third, baseball recorded
more deaths than football in 1904 and
| six less than football during the pres.
ent year. and. lastly, that boxing sell
Gom kills and rarely ever cripples
men who are adept scholars in the
manly art of self.defense."
