WILL PROBABLY BAR
OUT USE OF OXYGEN
Not True Craftsmanship to Use the
StimuIant on Competing Athletes
MOT Much Help in Break
ing Records.

NEW YORK. July 30.-Whether or
not the use of oxygen will ever be of
any service to modern college athletes
ought to be determined by the time the
Yale athletic authorities complete their
series of extensive tests. which. IT is
said, have been applied to some Geo
athletes representing every branch OF
college sport. other universities. both
in this country and England. have
made numerous tests on the value of
oxygen. but none has been SO exhaust
i've as tat conducted at Yale
In spite of what the Yale tests may
show when made public there is no
doubt that the majority of experts on
this point are agreed that the use OF
oxygen is wholly impracticaible in mod
ern competitive sport. and is an <ex-
tremely doubtful aid to record break
ing performances. under any circum-
stances Outside of the Yale tests DR.
r. TAFT Mckenzie of the University OF
Pennsylvania has probably contribut-
ed the most information in this coun-
try to the utility and general effects
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-07-30

of oxygen to athletic performances. DR.
McKenzie's Investigations were
prompted by the reports of wonderful
performances by several English uni
yersity runners by the use of oxygen
It was reported that the Britons, by
the application of oxygen were able not
only to better their best previous per-
formances. but to repeat after a little
rest in a manner that had never been
possible before.
DIR. McKenzies Investigations drove
him to the conclusion that not all ath-
letes can inhale oxygen and improve
their records. Several of the athletes
with whom he experimental suffered
extreme nausea from the oxygen
Others were able by it to better their
former records, but the improvement
was not enough to warrant the trou-
BILE it's use demanded. There was
however. one point of merit. This was
the uuickness with which the athletes
recovered from a hard race In the
case of a man who had run two hard
races in the same afternoon there is no
doubt that if the oxygen had no bad
effects it would enable him to start his
second competition in much better con-
theory 70 n
prize fighter DR.. Mckenzie said, would
enable him to recuperate more quickly
between rounds
But the most serious argument
against oxygen utilized in competitive
athletics is from the ethical stand
point. No sportsman would tolerate
competition between two horses, one
of which had the advantage of a wind
shield. This is the same sort of an
argument which would be used against
the oxygenized athlete. In this case
the use of oxygen would be concealed
So far as is known no one has ever
been accused of taking unfair advan7
tage of his fellow competitors by in
haling oxygen preparatory to a race.
Perhaps the charge will be made some
day. and if so it will necessitate new
amateur code, penalizing it's use by

moters declare will be the first bona

durance automobile contest ever held
in America is scheduled to begin this
evening on the Brighton Beach Motor
drome and will be concluded tomor-
row.
In previous contests of this charac-
fer if has been customary to permit at
least one stop during the twenty-four
hours but there will be no interrupt
ton in the Motordrome race until the
full time has elapsed. The scene of
the gruelling contest is the old Brigh-
ton Beach race track, which was saved
from being cut UP into building lots
bv the Motor Racing association. The
track has been put into first class
shane and is now one of the best mo-
toring courses in the world
A large crowd is assembled at the
Motordrome this afternoon to witness
the preliminary events, which include
a fifty-mile race for small cars, five
mile free-for-all and time trials open
to all types and powers.
IT is certain that the twenty-four
hour contest will be the most difficult

ley. so the contests are sure to be at
tractive. The date of the regatta
makes it possible for oarsmen syho
compete in the United States national
regatta at Detroit to take in the Do
minion races on their trip.
Among the American entries are
Oarsmen from the clubs of Detroit,
Duluth, Philadelphia, New York, Bos-
ton, Baltimore Buffalo and other large
cities.
All the best Canadian clubs. of
course, have large entries. especially
in the four-oared and eight-oared
events. The Argonauts. the Dons and
the Torontos. all of Toronto. have
entries, as well as the Winnipegs and
the Ottawa and Hamilton clubs
All the races with the exception of
the Fights will again be rowed with
turn. This practice, which allows
the persons on the grandstand to see
the start as well as the finish of the
races, proved such a success that
there will never be any return to the
old straightaway racing, which pre-
vailed at the Henley up to year or
two ago.
For this reason it is hardly likely
that the grandstand will ever be
moved from where it is now at Port
DalhOusie.

ia includes senior single SOULS, in
termediate single SOULS. junior single

different. The hawkers and vendors
will not be allowed to shout their
wares. Under the colonial regime they
made a dreadful noise in the streets
but modernized Cuba cannot stand for
that sort of thing. The lottery bust
ness must be conducted quietly and
sedately.
The government of Cuba believes
that there is money in the lottery. 1t
expects to make two millions a year

lonial lottery. 1t will probably be
larger. as the former lottery belonged
to a period which was still under the

wasn't much money lying around loose
those days. Now the people have plen-
ty to spend for such laudable enter
prises, to make themselves richer and
help keep the ship of state af1oat
If the net proceeds to the govern
ment should reach the three million
mark, it would mean that the people
would be spending about 100000 an
nually to support this patriotic enter
prise. The ticket vendors who might
otherwise be obliged to hoe sugar cane
will have a respectable occupation.
Senior MOrua DelgadO will have a fat
berth. Clerks and printers will be
employed in getting out prospectuses
and tickets. And even the little chill
dren of the Foundlings' Home and the
Orphan Asylum will have grand
fiesta every three months when they
pick up the little white balls that roll
out of the big glass globes.

UNCLE SAM, THE NEW RE-
PUBLIC WILL GAMBLE.
Place and Director General Must
Be Responsible.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 30
Hoop La, The day for the first draw
ing in the Cuban lottery is near. De-
spite the beneficent and paternal teach
ings of Governor Magoon and the pro-
vincial government, despite the highly
moral precepts and example of Uncle
Samuel, the government of free and
independent Cuba is going to revive old
times by having the biggest and grand
est game of chance ever pulled off.
They have directed the treasurer of
the island to look after the business.
They have appointed a director general
who must answer to the president and
the national senate. They have agreed
that the tickets shall range in price
from one dollar to twenty-five cents.
Four times a year the drawings will
take place. and seventy per cent of the
receipts are to go for prizes. The act
provides that two transparent globes,
exposed in an open place to which the
public shall have access, shall contain
balls representing the tickets and
prizes. By an automatic device these
balls will fall one by one from the
globes alternately. Children from the
Foundlings' Home and the National
Orphan asylum will gather the balls
as they fall and will successfully read
off a number and a prize. To prevent
these diminutive charges from prac-
Using any skulduggery, it is stipulated
that no child can take part in more
thar one drawing in a period Of three
months.
A board of seven members made up
of influential citizens of undoubted in
tegrity will supervise the drawings.
It's all deliberately arranged. Anyone
who sells foreign lottery tickets on
the island will be fined and perhaps
imprisoned. Anyone who starts little
private lottery will suffer the same
fate. Sales agencies will be established
all over the island. Agents will be re-
ouired to give bonds and Will De al

WIRELESS AIDS BOY BURGLARS
Los Angeles Police Are Amazed by
Discovery Of Modern "Piant"

LOS ANGELES, July 3O.-When pa
range from IA to II years. in a de-
serted shack at Blades and Winter
streets they did not know at first that
they had unearthed anything more
than a gang of petty thieves, but to-
day it was discovered the gang has
been operating the most modern and
up-to-date burglars club" ever found
in the city. Wireless telegraphy was
one Of the principal features.
Arthur Smith, II years old, appeared
to be the ruling spirit of the gang and
he also was the operator of the prin-
cipal wireless station. Four other sta
tions were operated and members of
the gang were kept informed of one
another's movements by wireless, ac-
cording to the police. There were sew
en- members of the gang. Smith was
able to communicate with three mem
bers and enable them to hide. They
were captured yesterday. John Broin
aged 15 Burnett Ward aged 16, and
Leslie Johnson, IA years old, were cap
tured with Smith. All reside with
their parents.
A deep pit near Central Wireless
station contained much loot, the Of
ficers say. Smith, it is alleged has

was held over 30-mile course with
easy turns and the total distance was
only 400 miles. Vanderbilt cup races
have never exceeded 300 miles in
length.
AS compared with those events, the
Brighton Beach contest will probably
go 1900 miles before the winning line
is reached The record established last
year by a Simplex car, driven by Rob-
ertsOn and Lescault. was 1197 miles,
which established phenomenal show
ing particularly as the winner was
pressed by several motors right to the
tape.
To eclipse that mark competing
cars on the motordrome by the sea
will have to travel at least so miles an
hour while they are on the track-that
is, after deducting the estimated time
that cars will lay idle during the tire
changes and for other reasons 1t is
figured that an average of twenty
tires will be changed in the twenty
four hours on each car.
