WHAT BOWERMAN FOUND.
Still, 1t Couldn't Have Hurt Him,
Even If He Had Swallowed II.

Frank Bowerman, the New York
catcher, was in Gotham during the recent
confab held there by Joe Kelley and No
Graw. and it was at this conference be-
tween the two managers that the deal by
which Boston gets BOwerman and Browne
IN exchange for Fred Tenney, BridWeu
and Needham was put through. ..... -...
BOwerman's transfer didn't feaze the
big fellow little bit. as Frank is of Il
philosophical demeanor. and he doesn't
have to play ball anyway if he doesn't
want to. as he Is prosperous lumbermau

Brownies suggestion the two ball players

Fourteenth street and Broadway and or

When the soup was served both of the
hungry ball players dove down into the
liquid, and Immediately after BOWerman
had carried his spoon to his mouth he let

hurriedly he was somewhat astOnished to

QUEER RULING OF A. A. U.
Indian Agrees Not to Take ANY More
Fire Water and Is Termed
Professional.

Tom Longboat, the Indian runner
will not toe the scratch in a race for
worlds honors in London this year
itor at the Pastime A. c. games in
Madison Square Garden on Jan. 81
President Sullivan OF the A. A L. has
taken a stand against the Canadian red
man that bars him from competing in
the metropolitan district. 1t all hinges
on reputed agreement entered into by
Longboat to pose as an amateur for
five years, when he was to receive 81.
600 from Hugh Graham of Montreal.
Here is an extract from a letter re-
ceived by LOngboat from Mr.. era
ham:
II at the end of five years you are
still in the athletic field, and it can be
tTuthfully said of you that you have
resisted temptation, kept temperate and
ranged yourself on the side of clean
sport. shall be pleased to hand you
a check Of $1,000"
The Indian replied:
You are very kind. know how YOU
feel You want Canada's name kept
good. I feel the same. I will do my
best Five years from today I will
send you a little bill for 81, 900 and will
buy a nice little wigwam for my best
girl"
1t is claimed that this makes the In
dian a professional, and the English A.
A. A, according to the view of James
r. Sullivan, president of the American
a a. u, will never accept the entry of
an athlete under cloud, and Longboat
is now under suspension by the ANA
teur federation of Canada.
When such absurd conditions are i'm
posed upon athletes it is no wonder
that the amateur status of many is in
doubt. Just think of it, declaring a
man a professional because he agreed
for $4,000 to keep temperate for five
wears

OF NED HANLAN, WORLDS
FAMOUS AND GREATEST OARSMAN

Edward Hanlan, winner of more
than hundred rowing races, who
died from pneumonia at Toronto last
week, began racing in a shell when he
was 16 years old, or thirty-six years
ago. He was born of Irish parents in
Toronto in 1850. In his first race he
rowed with Berry and Duncan in a
three-pair affair. Hanlan was at bow.

of the world, 100 of which were for
the championship. In these matches
alone his earnings were more than
$50, 900, and these and other races and
exhibitions netted him at least $3.50 600
His first race outside of his own
country was rowed at Philadelphia in
1876, when Hanlan won three heats in
as many days. Then he captured the
championship of America by defeating
Evan Morris over the Hutton course
at Philadelphia. The same year he won
his memorable victory over Charles
CPa'D Courtney, the present Cornell
rowing coach. In 1877 Hanlan went
to England and Africa, winning race
after race.
The championship of the world came
into his possession in 1873. He defeat

TE 1T HAPPENS
IT'S HERE
BASKETBALL IS
STRENUOUS GAME
Missouri Man Says 1t Involves
Greater Nervous Strain
Than Any Other Sport.

Is basket ball a good form of exer-
else for the average man? DIR. c. w.
Hetherington, director of athletics at
the University Of Missouri. says it is
very doubtful.
For the strong man, who is not Of
a nervous temperament" says Or.
Hetherington, basket ball is an ideal
exercise. if not INDUCED in excessive
Is. For the man or woman Of nervous
temperament. however, baskot ball is
too strenuous
Why? The reason is briefly this:
Basket ibaH involves more nervous
strain than any other form Of exercise,
not even excepting football. Now it is
one of the fundamentals of the science
of physical culture that nervous strain
is 10 be avoided. An exercise should
involve as little thinking and as much
use Of the large voluntary muscles rs
possible. Basket ball involves too much
thinking.
1T is for this reason that l abolished
the woman's basket ball team a few
years ago. After several years of ex-
pertinent we found that those girls that
made the varsity basket ball team in
variably broke down nervOusly before
they left the school or Immediately
afterward. Women should not be al
lowed TO play match games of basket
BAH where the rivalry is at all intense.
A nervous girl should not be allowed
20 play basket ball at all"
DR.. HetheringtoA holds to the theory
that organic development" is the aim
of exercise. Organic development is
tie development of all the functioning
powers of the body. especially the
lungs, liver. heart and digestive or
gans. The development of the voluu-
tary muscles, on which so many train
ers lay stress. is of no more impor-
lance than the strengthening of the
involuntary muscles, HetheringtOn
holds.
The exercises which secure the best
development of all the powers of the
body are those that involve the most
respiration, perspiratiOr and action of
the larger muscles. With regard to sil
these things basket ball is perhaps the
best form Of exercise we have. But one
other thing must be taken into consid-
Grafton. If any form of exercise in
wolves too much nervous expenditure
II is likely to be more harm than ben
eft to a nervous individual.
Another class of persons who
should not play basket ball" says Dr..
HetheringtOn, ARE those with weak
hearts. Every student who plays pas-
ket ball in this university must 1rst
have his heart examined. It is eX-
tremely dangerous for a person with
any heart trouble to take such violent
exercise
= X X
Although il is not generally known,
one Of the principal values OF basket
hall for the strong man of healthy
nerves is the natural massage the
player gets from jumping up in the air
and STOPPING down quickly. This nat
ural massage is the shaking up of the
internal organs consequent TO such an
exercise. It results in a strengthening
of :he organs and of their connecting
tissues Fer this reason basket ball
should be encouraged among those
physically able to play it without HARM
as well as for its value for organic de-
velopment."

INJURED PLAYERS
SHOULD RETIRE
Eastern Coaches Condemned
for Not Taking Such Men
Off the Field.

The past football season, as Is the
case each year. has been productive of
more or less comment on the actions of
the coaches of the various teams, par
ticuIarly those of the more important
elevens. This year the criticism has
centered to a large extent upon the re-
tention of men in the lineup after they
have received some injury which. while
not itself serious. has prevented them
from playing in as clear-headed a way
as they usually do. Several cases of
this kind were TO be noted in the larg-
er games of the fall, notably in the
Yale-Princeton game, when Bomar, one
of the Yale halfbacks, was kept in play
after he was so dazed that what he did
was more by instinct than by any rea-
soning of his own. An incident of the
same kind was to be found in the Yale
Harvard game, when Captain Parker
Of the Crimson team was not taken out
and replaced by a fresh player until
after his dazed playing had lost the
team much valuable ground.
Yale Grad" Kicks.
A Yale graduate has come forward
with criticism on this feature of the
falls play, which sums up the situation
pertinently, as follows:
why in the name OF common sense
do coaches insist upon keeping a player
in the game after an injury has inca
pacitated him? Is it because the
coaches long-pondered and finally i'm
mutually fixed estimate of a players
ability blinds them to what is painfully
evident from the stands? Except in the
case Of a few phenomenal Stars it is
safe to say that no player is better
than his understudy by more than a
small margin, and this margin is more
than neutralized by an injury. Great
er freedom in substituting fresh men
would serve many desirable ends: 1t
would lessen the possibility of perma-
nent injury, diminish the amount of
martyTdOm at present too frequently
exacted of players, save the tortured
feelings of many a friend and relative;
reward many more of the deserving
substitutes and open up the game TO
more than the charmed circle of the
twelve or thirteen elect"

WALSH MAKES
GREAT RECORD
White SOx'S Star TWirler
Shows Up Better Work
in Past Season.

Modern baseball knows no such rec
ord as that established by Pitcher Ed
Walsh of the White Sox last season.
Walsh didn't lead the American League
III percentages of games won. Yet
Walsh's season record was the most
wonderful ever made.
He pitched in fifty-six games. which
in itself constitutes a record, being
well over a third of the games his team
played. His fielding figures broke all
known records, as he handled 266
chances ninety-six more than given
any other pitcher in that league.
Walsh is charged with eighteen de-
feats, and nearly all of them were due
to the most fiendish hard luck a pitcn-
er was ever subjected to. If Walsh
had been favored with just ordinarily
bad luck in those games at least four
teen of them would have been victories
instead of defeats, and the fans haven't
forgotten that four more games in the
won column would have brought the
pennant TO Chicago instead of sending
it TO Detroit.
Out of the whole eighteen losses suf-
fered by Walsh, in eight his team was
absolutely shut out, so, of course, he
had no chance whatever TO win. al
though in most Of them he held the en-
-emy to a very low score. Twice Big
Ed figured in tie games and did really
sensational work. but on account of no
hitting behind him couldn't land the
game which his twirling so we'll mer-
ited. For instance, at Boston in the
June series, he jumped in at a mo-
ments notice, pitched five and two
thirds innings. allowed only one hit, but
couldn't have the good fortune to see
a run counted for his side
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-01-12
Tough Games Lost.

But the tough games that Walsh lost
were extra-inning battles, and fire.
quently games by a MAJ gin of one run,
which the SOX. under ordinary circum-
stances, would have captured by a Dig
margin.
Four games, which had to be called
defeats, and which. if won would have
given the Sox the pennant, the fans
never viii forget. and they will show
the hard luck big Ed was up against.
The most exaspeIating trimming
Walsh ever suffered was that well-re-
membered game of Sunday, June %,
when Cleveland beat him in twelve
innings, to 3.
That day the SOx twice had the bases
full with nobody out and couldn't get
one run out of either opening. In the
same game Walsh himself opened an
inning with a three-base hit, and the
head of the batting list couldn't bring
him home. 1t was just hard luck, E"
for the SOX were hitting Joss very
soundly. driving him from the box in
the skin inning. But the only little
base hit that would have ended all
never came at the right time
