For this year Mr.. Summers Will pro
pel the pellet for Detroit, on energy
born solely Of vegetable food. eggs
and fish.
No Use For Meat.
The decision Is one which the Dig
pitcher has adopted after thorough
resume Of the authorities and an intl-
mate investigation OF the various prop
critics OF foods. Up TO date he mas
cut meat completely from his bill o.
fare at the training camp. He expects
TO continue the experiment through
the season or until convinced OF the
utility OF such campaign.
There may be some who will call
me crank" said Summers today in
discussing the case. "but I'm going 20
give the vegetable diet thorough
trial. am sure that, In the past, l

Summers believes that part OF the
trouble he experienced last year VITA
his knees was due to lack OF lubrica'
ton of the joints. He has been told
that this Is one OF the symptoms OF the
presence of an undue amount OF uric
acid in his system. He Is employing
the vegetable diet to improve this con
dition aud is also taking daily Ger
tain amount OF olive oil, which ne De
lieves will go to the spot and prevent
the friction which still results wnen

So far as history tells. Summers ex
pertinent In baseball, will be In the ma
ture OF a distinct novelty. At any rate
there exists no prior case OF vegetari
anism In the big leagues. II his exaE
ple proves successful II will surely be
used as a potent argument in favor oil
that plan of diet by these who have
always maintained that meat is q
dangerous food and OF doubtful
strengthening powers.
