The Cancer Institute in New York is

have been studying for years but they

WHAT WORRY DOES.

No one has ever yet succeeded In
finding the cause o, cancer, but Dr..
Snow, of London, The distinguished
opponent OF yivisection, who is on a
visit TO New York says that worry
Is responsible for the disease.
This may or may not be true, but
1t is generally conceded that more
people die from worry than most any
other known cause.
Some people never allow the little
troubles Of life to worry them, while
others magnify these small troubles
until they gain the magnitude OF
mountains.
In times past this particular affllc.
tion, which Is showing such a marked
increase today, was attributed to ex.
cessive consumption of meats. fish
and eggs. II worry predisposes hu.
manitv to such scourge as cancer
IN add ton to all the other ills cor
which Il IL held responsible. 1t is guile
plain that the earth has few evils sc
great or so general.

THE TIMES SPORT PAGE
SULLIVAN is LOOKING
FOR OLYMPIC ATHLETES
Secretary of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union Wants Young
Men To Enter Tryouts.

NEW YORK, Nov. CT wish that
United States who belongs TO an ath-
ietic association would realize that
the Amateur Athletic association is
combinS the country for athletic ma
tsrial. and that before next July the
ASSOCIATION must have selected a team
TO represent the United States in the
Olympic games" said James +. Sulli-
van, secretary of the Amateur Ath-
ledc union, and secretary OF the
American committee at the Olympic
games, London, 1908, today
We know that, like the poets
many roses which are born TO blush
unseen and waste their sweetness on
the desert air. so i'm this broad land
OF ours there are young men who, If
they only knew it and if we only
knew il, could be developed into great
athletes.
II want to attract the attention OF
the young men OF every city who have
athletic tendencies and | want TO get
down TO facts, in order 10 show how
they are 10 let us know of their feats
and abilities. One reason the Ameri-
can Athletic union has not had more
material is that the young men of the
country have not understood that we
welcome all exceptional athletes, no
matter who they are, or from what
corner OF the country they come, or.
whether they come from public
schools, universities, public play
Grounds or church clubs or from
bands of country town picnic ath-
Ietes.
For the all-around-champio
event what new champion, even un-
known to himself, may now be toiling
and dabblins away az athletics in
some city or some village of this
country This all-around-ohampion
ship is the most remarkable event OF
them all. The man who wins it will
lie a specialist perhaps. in some one
thing. But he would not have to be
a specialist in everything. II is the
sum total of his achievements in the
all-arounI event that counts.
There was Donohue of Los
Angeles, who wasn't especially good
in any one thing He went into a com
petition in Chicago on Aug. IL and,
to his own surprise. finished second
in the all-around event Martin Sheri-
dan couldn't win anything but a dis
Gus throw. That was his specially
he couldn't win a hundred-yard dash
or a mile run, or a long jump or a
high Juno event. But when ii came
to putting all these events together,
his average was so high that ii put
him in the all-around-championship
class.
Il advise every young man who
thinks he is an athlete TO encourage
the holding OF try-outs in his district,
TO enter these try-outs, and to await
results. The reward for success is
great and worthy of supreme effort.
