BIG FUSS COMING
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Charges Made That Promi-
nent Athletes Are Over
Age Limit.

An upheavaI that may bring about
rome highly interesting facts and Incl
dentaily result In the disqualification OF
some OF the most prominent High
School athletes of this city, is threat
ening the interscholastic league.
The board of faculty directors is now
guided by one of the most stringent
eligibility codes in effect in any city,
and in its efforts to keep clean the
sports OF the schoolboys has been most
strict In Its rulings.
One OF the regulations that has been
adhered to particularly has been the
age limit of twenty-one. No matter
what scholastic standing an athlete
may have, he is barred from all inter
school competitions on the day he
reaches his majority, or. at least, that is
what the regulations require.
Recent Investigations, however, have
developed that there have been during
the past year members of certain teams
whose record in this regard is open to
suspicion. Although all of the athletes
have been certified as under age, certain
close followers of the High School
games are not entirely satisfied. and an
effort is now being made TO ascertain
the exact age of several players, II
reports are to be believed. one of those
against whom the investigation is being
aimed Is captain OF a team.
For Some time there have been rum
blings directed particularly at the foot
ball squads, but the Investigations were
not started until last week. when, in
the statements of a non-school organ
fzation the ages of several of those
High School athletes were published.
showing them to be already beyond the
limit. Should IL be found that this is
true. those behind the present move
mem will attempt to go thoroughly into
the matter of ineligible players and
probe the standing of all those par
ticipating in the recent baseball series.
Whenever a boy enters high school a
record is made of mis- age, and this is
supposed to guide the athletic authori-
ties in case there should be any doubt
as to his eligibility in later years

CONTESTANTS TIME.

NEW YORK, May e.-The fact that
2O.oo0 people were on hand yesterday at
the Polo Grounds to see st. Yves win
the great international Marathon race
testified to the intense interest in that
sport which still exists all over the
country.
Instead OF the Marathon fever dying
out, It seems to be getting stronger,
and there IS no telling where IL will
end. The Wiseacres have been predict
ing that the professional game would he
come crooked, but there have been no
evidences Of IL to date. And, while the
professionals have been drawing Won
derfully well. the amateurs are doing as
well II not better, and every announce
ment OF a new contest draws forth
enthusiastic appreciation from the ath-
1etes and the public
St. Yves. the plucky little French
runner, is today heralded as the great
est Marathon runner in the world, as
result OF his decisive defeat OF a large
and classy field. The foreigner broke

The question of how rapidly a man

training is one which has been some
what neglected by the scientific students
OF athletics. The extent to which he
may reduce and he strong is known only
TO himself. and livery athlete has pecu-
liartties which make him a law unto
himself, but physicians especially well
versed In the subject can often give him
good advice and warn him when he Is
going too far. The increase OF flesh

Quircd to weigh under a given number
OF pounds at specified time, but they
nave attracted little attention from in
Nesugators, who have devoted them
selves mostly to college athletes, who,
except IN amateur boxing and wrestling
tournaments do not have to tip the
scale at specified figure. The state
ment that Fred Taral, the great jockey
who recently retired after a long
and brilliant career, gained ninteen
pounds in two days, would astonish
those not familiar with the subject, but
those experienced ia that line do not
think II wonderful. Nor would Tarai
nave 10 dlssipate In order to expand so
nluch IN forty-eight hours. He has kept
nlmseif down too fine for years. and
When ne did give way to his natural
appetite In eating and drinking and cut
OUT the Turkish baths, he grew apace.
II Is perfectly possible for a man to
weigh IN at l@ pounds at 3 p m. and
weigh lbs or 139 at 10 p. m. and Il has
happened more than once. On the other
hand, there are boxers who remain al
most stationary and to whom training
means uttle more than an extra con-
dluoning of the muscles. The latter
Klno. even when required to fight below
their normal avoirdupois, would not
take on many additional pounds In seven
or eight hours between stepping on the
scales and stepping in the ring. 1t Is an
interesting subject and we hope It Will
arouse the scientists.

At last we have the answerl

At last we have the answer!
I'VE are going to plead insanity as an
excuse for thinking washington had a
really coed baseball team this year when
we accompanied it on the spring trip.
The only trouble is. that while suffering
frCm that temporary hallucination we
failed to go into the borrowing business.
With our predictions, and the actual
showing so far. we could have copped
out half a million dollars, got OF little
gibberish when interviewed by report
ers. and robbed every widow in the city
without the slightest fear of conviction.
It's sad TO think how sometimes op-
portunity knocks at the door and is
turned away. The only borrowing we
did was a matter of 81 from a newspaper
r9an in Toledo, and before our mind
cleared we paid him back.

1t would be good newspaper work to
call upon President Tom Noyes, of the
Washington club, and ask hin what he
thinks is the matter with the team
Such was our intention until that 1 to 0
score in favor OF the Athletics IN Phila-
delphia yesterday. and now we have
not the heart or the nerve. II we were
president and a reporter pestered US
with such foolish question we would
start a Irritation between his face and
a brick just to relieve our feelings. AS
a matter OF fact. he could hardly tell
the fans anything they do not already
know. A careful reading OF the game
shows that Washington played well
s1eld. pulling off four double plays, to
say nothing Of excellent individual
stunts by Deiehanty and others. Each
side made five hits, but old Kid Slump
was there on the job and caused two
of the five swats by the Athletics to be
punched in the same inning for one
lonely but efficacious tally. 1t certainly
is discouraging. It's like rain on Easter

CONGRATULATIONS are due me Potomac
Boat Club for its date TO row Yale at
New Haven on May .. H. is a distinct
compliment to the Potom.tcs, and they
have won il by their showing in all the
big regattas Of the East. Not only
that, they have themselves reduced the
holding OF regattas 10 a science, and
no better conducted affairs of the kind
are TO be found in the United States.
The strength of the Potomac crew this
season is problenatcal. but there is
hardly 4 chance that f. will not be
strong enough to force Yale out and
give Just what the Blue coaches want
a thorough trial for tsIoir oarsmen.
Yale is using a new roi~Eig system this
season, copied after that of the Eng
lish crews. The med do not sit direct
ly over the keel, as in American shells,
but TO one side, alternating, of course.
The theory Is that the further a man
sits from his outrigger the better lever
age he gets. II was largely a desire 20
test the effectiveness cf this system
that caused a preliminary race with a
boat dub TO be arranged, and the Po-
tomacs were selected May g falls on
Saturday, and on May 81 the Potomacs
will appear in the Decoration Day re-
gatta on the Harlem river. Thus they
will kill two birds with one stone, 50
to speak. and save a bunch OF money
in expenses.

The Horticultural Show.

The enterprising people of our sister
city Of Council Bluffs deserve congrat-
ulations on the horticultural show
which they have brought to such high
elimination. The exposition of hor-
ticultural products which has been
made would do credit to management
and exhibitors anywhere.
The promoters of the horticultural
show have been especially favored this
year by the unusually good conditions
Of orchard crops in most sections Of
the country. and particularly in the
nearby sections from which the greater
number of exhibits are drawn. In TAX
ing full advantage of these unusual
opportunities thus offered the manage
ment has demonstrated that it is wide
awake and alert.
1t is to Omaha's interest that this
effort Of Council Bluffs in producing
a big horticultural show should have
every encouragement and help to make
1t a signal success.
