ATHLETES BARRED
FOR GOOD CAUSE
BY ]. H. HILDEBRAND.

The protest registered by Central
High School track athletes against the
disqualification Of Reuter- in the Fifth
Regiment games is probably made IN
good faith.
That Renter did not receive a raw
dear seems the correct verdict after
testimony from two inspectors who
made independent reports. one Of these
is J. NJ. Cummings, a veteran track
Official who ranks with Mike Thompson
himself as a capable and efficient ex-
pert in track affairs
Whatever may be the real answer 10
this misunderstanding is not likely To
be clear to the minds of all concerned.
One feature Of the meet, however,
which washington athletes take occa-
sion TO condemn, appeals TO us as q
pronounced step in the right direction.
In spite OF the fact that a time limit
is always set for accepting entries the
limit is generally stretched for the bene-
fit OF out or town athletes, who. fO-
various reasons, are unable TO enter on
time.
Alas. too true.
And Just because Mike Thompson m
sisted on holding haEt and fast TO this
rule he was enabled TO win the unani-
nous appreciation o. spectators and
athletes alike by starting the Fifth
Regiment games on time and bringing
item to a close exactly on the sched-
ule.
This achievement is none the less
worthy because several George Wash
ngtOn University and Central High
school athletes happened TO be deb3rred
in the process
Such an end Washington athletic
managers have Striven TO attain Tor
the past five years This elastic inter
probation of the time limit rule has
been responsible for starting meets at
Convention Hall after o'clock and
stretching out the. events until the wee
small hours by Which time the public
was heartily Disguised with the whole
performance
The pleadings OF Coach lie Mat and
several other observation-disclosures were very
wisely refused point blank" When
our eminent track athletes are impressed
with the fact that they must be on
time they viii see the wisdom Of taking
an earlier train If they are out of town
entrants.
II is safe to say that the sufferers
from this example viii be on hand in
time for the dOinSs next trip.

Galveston, Tex,


March 10 1909.
Dear Fanatics: Many men of many
minds is an ancient adage, but ''mnny
players of many muscles would not he
a bad baseball axiom.
We evoNef this aIlitcrative aphorism
while listening TO some idle talk by The
Washington players on the subject Of
throwing. The question they were areu-
ing concerned whether or not player
was foolish to exercise his salary wing
TO the limit. There have been numerous
instances of stars Of the diamond be
ing forced out OF the business while in
their prime because Of bad arms. one
of the most prominent sufferers IN this
matter was Hughey Jennings, now man
lager Of the Detroit team and former
world-beater as sh rtstop Of the Balti-
more three-umc champions.
Uughey's wing went bad long before
he slowed up in other directions. lie
tried second and first base i'm order 10
get the short throws and relieve the
strain. but it was no go. and he had
20 quit active participation I'm the game.
Terry Turner, CleveIand's brilliant
shortstop, is another victim of too much
throwing. Terry was out of the game
nearly all last season. He WAS treated
by a Washington osteOpath. and may be
the goods this sea~cn, but il is doubt
full. These are only two Of many SINH
larry bIighted careers.
Yet catcherS who handle the ball
more than any other men on a team
and are constantly mixed up in fast
plays requiring more or less Swapping
of the ball, are seldom sufferers from
incapacitatcd arms. The oldest men
in the business today, beginning with
Jim Mcclure, Malachi Kittre3ge, Jack
Warner, WHbert Robinson and such
like, have little trouble IN hurting the
bah wherever they please.
Catchers not only do a lot OF throwing
but hard throwing. They have 10 line

but YOU seldom hear Of a backsJop

Charley Street. the Washington
catcher, believes his avn is getting
stronger instead of we;tker. He said:

People talk about throwing away
your wing, but take Lou Criger, for
instance. He is as good - lining il
out TO the basemen today az was five
years ago. yet there is T.: man in
the business who throws more or
harder than Criger. In his warming
up he shoots the bali 10 second so fast
1t is hard TO handle, and he returns
TO the pitchers WITH so much speed
that they have 20 call him down. He

Whether this announcement, made at

dictated by chasrin at his defeat or by
a predetermined resolution to quit the
