TO BE POPULAR

According to reports it is expected
that motor-cycling will be very popu-
lar next year. There has been a big
increase in professionalism in this line
of sport but this is desired by the
management of the Federation of Am
erican Motor Cyclists, who says:
ut will not be long, i'm my opinion,
of professional riders i'm the f. A. NJ.
ranks. A great many people all over
the country, particularly the best peo-
pie who are interested in athletics, and
members of the Amateur Athletic un-
ion, have a great horror of profession
alism in sport l myself, have no use
for the professional athlete. But the
motorcycle game is a different prop
osition The initial cost of the ma
chine and its up-keep for racing pur-
poses will make big hole every year,
in $1,000. The initial cost to be ath-
ete of his machine is nothing-be-
cause his machine is his own body.
And. further the up-keep is very
little in addition to what his regular
board would be: Therefore. the poorest
man can become an expert athlete
without expenditure of money or
waste of time. and there is no reason
why he should take money for what he
does.
Motorcycle racing in itself, and !
can't see why man should be held
in disregard for making his living in
this day any more than he should be
held i'm disregard for making a living
by preparing motorcycles or manu-
facturing them"

SHERIDAN AFTER
GREATER LAURELS
SAYS 1T WILL TAKE OVER 1900
POINTS TO BEAT HIM FOR
THE ALL-ARoUND CHAM.
PlONSHlP.

Martin Sheridan. than whom no
greater all-around athlete ever drew
breath once again is going to shy his
castor into the all-around champion
ship arena next season. Martin al
ready has started the light prelimna-
ny work incidental To the long siege
OF hard training necessary To condi-
ton himself for the most grueling of
all athletic competitions. Martin saws
that six months is short time i'm which
TO train for an all-around CHAMPION
ship.
You have to build from the bottom
up says Martin. "A slight mistake in
ones preliminary work may six
months later cost the championship.
What mean is that to go through the
10 all-around events in winning form
the period of training is much more
important than the training for the
ordinary competition. one has TO de-
velop speed. spring. strength. snap
and stamina in proportion. A half
mile walk and a running high jump
do not go well together. Heel-and- toe
walking often ties up the jumping
muscles. The events of the all-around
competition are antagonistic to one
another.
THE competition itself, however, Is
easy for me. Once | get going / take
as much pleasure in 1t as any boy al
play 1t is the long training period
that comes the hardest on me. Two
weeks ago / started my preliminary
training. | play half a dozen games OF
handball week now, | walk as mucl
as possible, refraining from taking
street car only when il is absolutely
necessary. For about a month | will
confne my efforts to a few games o
handball a week and my regular walk
ing exercises.
II am going to train as never befor'
for next seasons championship. In al
probability it will be my last hack a
il and / want to establish recor'
that will stand for long while. If
only can get enough good men i'm tn
competition to pull me out | think
can score 5000 points. With only on
competitor against me in 1909, havin
practically to go through the event
without any competition, l hung u
1886 points. 1t will take 5000 to bea
me next season. provided there ar
enough good men in the competition {
force me to the limit"

COOMBS SHUT OUT
EVERY A. |. CLUB
PRIZE HURLER OF ATHLETICS
SPILLED WHiTEWASH OVER
EACH OF OTHER SEVEN
TEAMS.

Jack Coombs OF the all-conquering
Athletics. not only turned i'm more vic
tories than any other pitcher in the
American league last season. but he
also sets the pace i'm spilling white
wash. Thirteen times i'm the last cam
paign did the pride of Shibe park and
Of Kennebunkport, Me, let his oppo-
nents down without n run. Two of
these contests were of more than reg
ulation length, Coombs being Philadel-
phia's gunner in the 16-inning run
less battle played with the White Sox
on Aug. 4, and being on the mound
for the Mackmen in the 11-round 0 to
Q engagement played with the Maps
on Sept. 81.
Coombs was the real shut out kid
of the American league. and white
washed all seven opponents of the Ath-
letics. He shut out the st. Louis
Browns three times, Chicago, Cleve-
land, New York and Washington each
twice and fitted Jackets of white on
the Bostons once and on the Detroits
organization equalled COMBS record
of shutting out seven teams, Russell
Ford. of the Hfghlanders. distributing
cipher to five clubs.
From the way Frank Smith started
out, il seemed as if he intended to es-
tablish a worlds record for white
washing teams. The Piano Mover
BANKED three teams in the first month
of the canpaign-and then either lost
his ambition or his cunning, as there
after no club was immersed in the
whitewash bucket by him.
Russell Ford and Walter Johnson
ranked second to Coombs in distribut-
ing ciphers. Each young wizard of
the mound figured i'm eight debates in
which his opponents failed to cross
the plate. The Hilltop star made a
specially of hanging rows of zeros on
the Chicago White Stockings. who
thrice were BANKED by the Highland
ers when Ford was pitching. Johnson
let the Maps down without a run on
three occasions and also treated the
Browns the same way.
Fourth among the wielders of the
whitewash brush stands ed. Walsh
Of the Chicago club. He was i'm seven
arguments in which his teams adver-
saries failed to reach the bureau of
registration. shutting out the Boston
Red Sox no fewer than four times.
George Mullen was Detroit's most en-
inent shutout artist, Ray Collins Bos-
tons and Fred F'alkenberg Clevelands.
on the st. Louis club Barney Petty
and Jack Powell laid claim To this title.

Athletes Require Exercise
After Retiring From Sport

Much is said these days about
,,.bether the athlete Is able to come
hocls" or not. When reduced to a
scientific basis this question is not
hard TO answer. In days of training
t5e athlete develops a large heart, one
that is sufficient TO take care of his
large muscles and keep them in good
shape. At that time 1t Is essential
that the heart be large and strong but
when he quits exercising and settles
down to an easy life the body ceases
20 need such a large supply Of blood
and consequently the muscles of the
heart become soft and flabby so that
upon little exertion this vital muscle
draws so upon the system that it's
owner finds himself putting hard to
simply the demands for oxygen.
Not that the body has been injured
by this over development, but simply
that the person who has such a heart
has a larger machine for pumping the
blood around the body than is neces-
sary. 1t may be well compared with a
numping station that has a larger en-
CINE than is necessary for pumping
but still the whole boiler must be
heated and a larger amount of fuel Is
used than would be required by an en-
cine of the appropriate size.
What is to be done then? Keep M
the exercise The exercise need not
be violent but of such a nature as
will keep up the circulation in all
parts Of the body. Therein lies the
value of exercise as promoter of
good health. II keeps the blood in cir
culation. The contraction of the mus
cles drives the blood back through the
veins and in this way helps the heart
I'm keeping up the circulation of the
blood.
Aside from this heart trouble there
Is no difficulty which is likely to arise
unless ii is the tendency for people
who have been well muscled to be-
come fat. For some unknown reason
people who have had a large muscu-
lar development, when they cease t.
take regular exercise fat grows I'm tho
muscles, greatly increasing the size
of the person and il is the destruction
of this fat which causes the loss II
weight always noticed when the ath'
lete who has been idle commences
training.

many a BOD game has resulted from

BASEBALL men LOOK FOR
less DANGEROUS SPIKE

The steel spikes, against which there
has been a crusade ever since Ty Cobb
accidentally spiked Frank Baker OF
the Athletics. season before last, is by
no means doomed to be relegated from
baseball.
Though there were no less than
three different newly invented spikes
the use of which makes injury almost
impossible, presented at the recent
meetings of the major leagues in New
York, none of them received the
slightest consideration from the club
owners, and 1t can be authoritatively
stated that there will be no change
made in the rules against the use oil
the sharp blades which the players
have been wearing for years.
While the magnates did not publicly
announce their stand in favor of the
present spike, regardless of the danger
this device brings to the players any
effort to have less harmful spike
adopted will meet with defeat.
IL is argued that to change the pres
ent spike for one which would nm
mate the danger of injury would De 10
take much from the game. Charley
