Consequently h mel who were on

fact, this athlete had to explain on
more thar one occasion after a race
that he wasn't saying anything about

1t is very often the man who hasn't

for heartening himself up artificially.
However. there have been men whose
nerve was unauestioned who resorted
to devices to work off what they called
toodoos and to stimulate themselves
artlficially for their competitions.
Such, for instance, was enc great
high Jumper who used deliberately to
practice before the competition actually
began by knocking the bar Off at all
sorts of minor heights. He had an
idea that by doing this beforehand he
got it all out of his system. so to speak,

Amateur Golf Ranka.

nT
Jerome D. Travers Is not to surren-
der his amateur standing to become a
golf professional for the present at
least. For weeks there has been a per-
sfstent rumor to hat effect, much pres
sure having been brought upon him to
take such a step. MI. Travers Is con-
sidered the equal In ability of any pro-
fessional in this country, most of the
open title holders having admitted over
and over again that he Is possessed of
every trick in the bag of clubs. He
held the national. metropolitan and
New Jersey titles. the irst two named
two years in succession, the latter three
years. In his earlier days he captured
the interscholastic championship of
New York, also the Long Island title.
Whatever opinions ma be held as to

The systematic handling of records and the continual publication

The inheiders are able o nah much more difficult stops by the

thinks that no wrestler should be Per

There was good reason for the abol-

excuse for having the toe hold retired.
The former hold when properly sxecut-

BILE with the toe hold il that very few
know how to execute 1t and there are
differNntsways Of putting II on.
No wrestler has ever perfected II to
the degree that Gotch has used II, n
possibly It's application at best requires
Z physical makeup peculiar to he

turn his shoulders to the canvas If he
merely applies such a hold, leaving no
opportunity for the opponent to get his

course, be disqualified for brutality by
q competent referee.
Gotch likens the toe hold to the tao
tics Of the Japanese in warfare,
THE Japanese" ssys he, when they
besiege a foe always leave him one
opening for retreat to his disadvantage.
So In using the toe hold In wrestling I

To use the toe hold Gotch gets behind

Charles Tanning. a pitching re-
cruit whom the ST. Louis Browns
iansed from the Galesburg club
of the Central association. seems
to possess the right handle, for
he famed 800 men in fifty-one
genes last year. Incidentally he
won thirty games, lost twelve
and tied three. He also possess
ed excellent control, passing only
ffty-nire men and hitting but
seven III his fifty-one games.
Only seventy-four runs were
scored on him. the opposing
teams registering 24s hits. The
same young gentleman struck
out 2.6 batters In 1908. leading
his league that year as Wen as
last.
