TRAINING AND CARE
OF THE ATHLETES

Games and athletic sports may, first and
last, be responsible for so many kinds OF
bodily injury that it would be impossible
to enumerate them: but they may be di-
vided. for convenience. into two groups.
There is. first, the kind Of injury that
results from external violence or from IN
correct use of the body in the tmmedia 10
game. Under this head would come all
cases of bruises, sprains. Commissions and
strains The second group would include
all functional troubles, such as heart
strain. insomnia or impairment of func.
ton in any of the organs of the body.
In the first class, where the bruises and
sprains are the direct result of the inevi.
table rough and tumble Of the game. as
about it except to draw up and abide by
rules which eliminate unnecessary vio-
lence. and then meet the fortunes of war.
On the other hand. there Is an immense
amount of bruising and spraining which
might be avoided by proper training.
Proper trafning-gradual training-means
as much as anything else. Muscles and
tendons will not submit to insult with any
better grace than the rest Of the body.
and when they are called upon to perform
tasks they have had no preparation for
they will almost certainly rebel.
A physician who speaks from the enor-
nous experience in his line of work gained
in a large college town makes the inter
there are more strains and sprains occur
ring in the first few weeks of the October
term than at any other time Of the year.
He argues that In the long vacation the
average undergraduate is not calling upon
his muscles for any very violent exercise,
and that on his return to college he de-
mands too much of them too suddenly.
Temperature also makes a great differ
ence to the athlete. In warm. damp
weather movements may be made with
impunity which would result i'm trouble in
dry, frosty weather.
The trained athlete will take care to
have his limbs sponged with warm water
before he starts. and the sophomore who
stands around the field half dressed and
getting chilled through is doing a foolish
thing.
The other group of cases mentioned-the
dilated hearts. irritable hearts and so on
is usually the direct result of OVERRIDING.
They are generally only temporary II dis
covered in good time and properly treated.
but they may lead to much trouble and
materially shorten life If ignored. Rest

Presidents Declarations False"
The swindlers had secured good many
thousands of dollars before the exposure
in the Senate stopped people from being
duped, and yet Theodore Roosevelt. who
poses as the only remaining honest man
in public life. in the face of these facts
has felt called upon to attack the char
acter of a man whose integrity has never
before been questioned and whose official
position is second only to his own. In
doing this he makes a false declaration.

thing as above quoted, which can be prov

'iNow, about the lying: My letter of
February 15 of which the President Sc

by four days my statement in the Senate
that l had not bought any land or under
taken to buy any. and the President con-
siders this positive proof Of falsehood.
l did not say l had not considered the
purchase of land; I did not say l had
not contemplated the purchase OF land,
because l had done both.
I'm my conversation with the Attorney
General in regard to the resolution which

NO ClNCH TO BE A
BASE BALL MANAGER

1t is not a cincl to be q manager in
the big leagues. This is shown by the
fact that during the past six seasons no
less than forty-one men have held the
managerial reins in the sixteen clubs
comprising the National and American
leagues In fact. during the six years
from 1908 to 1909 but four managers
have held the position continuously.
These are John McGraw of New York
and Fred Clarke of the Pittsburg Nation
ais; Connie Mack of the Athletics and
Jimmy McAleer of the st. Louis Browns
in the American League. Or these four
McAleer's position is probably the most
peculiar. He left Cleveland as a manager
in 1901 TO join hands with Bob Hedges
in st. Louis when the American League
at st. Louis with a bunch of stars, but
outside of his first season until the sea-
son just closed, when he finished in
fourth place. and looked like winner
for the greater part of the season, he has
not made good as a manager-if all
manager is expected to do is to land his
team high up in the race.
But McAleer has hung on and now
looks to have team that may make
good after years of effort. Barney Drey-
Clarke in charge despite reverses of that
team for several years. John McGraw's
New York history is well known to the
fans, while Connie Mack has such big
interest in the Athletics that he can dc
tate as to how long he will remain man
ager. And then Connie has always made
good. True he has had his down sea-
sons-last year. for instance-but the
Philadelphia public is loyal to Connie,
and he is fixture there forever or as
long as he wants to stay in the game.
1t is to the other clubs that the manag
ment changes have come. The Boston
Americans lead the list. with six man.
ayers in as many years and another one
probably before the 1909 season starts.
St Louis Nationals is next with four
managers, not counting brief term of
a couple of years back when Stanley
Robson president of the club. acted as
manager. Washington Americans. in
the American League. have also had four
managers. Cincinnati. Boston and Phila-
delphia. in the National. and Detroit. in
the American. have had three managers
in the same time.
In the six years Patsy Donovan. the
recently deposed manager of the Brook
Ign team. has been in charge of three
different teams-St. Louis and Brooklyn,
Nationals. and Washington American

CURED in Jacksonville many years back
writes Ted Sullivan There were two
swell hotels in that city which had negro
walters that prded themselves on their
base ball ability.
One of those negroes was from the
pire. He considered common base ball
terms obsolete, hackneyed and out of
date.
All the hotel guests were as much de-
sirous of seeing Pete Johnson umpire as
they were to witness the game itself. The
game opened with Pete Johnson logged
out in dress suit, behind the pitcher.
When the first batter hit a ball and
was thrown out at first base Pete the
empire officially announced. Runner

behind the pitcher
The man he Cancelled never left the
base. but commenced to lead off The
coacher began by telling him to divorce
himself from the base and go down to

The first baseman turned to the coachey
and said:

man. Pete, the umpire done and can

between coacher and baseman, Pete was
called on to settle the status OF the man
prancing around first base.
Pete strobe over in true military style
and said: What is the trouble wild you

The baseman replied that the man
would not vacate the base. Pete there
upon proclaimed:
