PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
THE ATHLETIC "COP."
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion.

limb he has set standard Of heroisnl
In his precinct at least, and the standard
is bound to exert a good influence on
both the boys and the men in that neigh
bOrhOod
On the other hand, any display OF
cowardice or physical weakness on the
part Of a police officer tends to shatter
the idol of the law. and suggests to
citizens the weakness Of the law. But
the policeman. for his own sake and be-
cause he Is ever exposed to hazards and
condition that he will be able to give a
good account of himself when the time
comes.
The most successful officers of the law
and the ones who command the most re
spect. are not those who are always ready
to use the CLUB or the gun. but are those
who are willing TO mix. not through theiI
power of legal right. but because they
arc the masters The police officer is the
emblem of an imperfect civilization. His
position has been created not exactly be-
cause CT the power of right. but through
the power of might. His position has
been made possible only because physical
force is still necessary to suppress GER
tain wrongs. All of this is apart from
his duties as aid to the sick and af-
ficted, and unless lac personally sets be-
fore himself an ideal of physical fitness
ficer.
There IS a great deal Of difference be-
tween police officer who Is in good
physical condition, and ore who Is a
natural bully. Adherence for at least an
hour day to the routine OF the gymna-
SUM is one of the most commendable
practices any policeman can indulge in.

and now are in second place. The Red
Sox are in front now and many pick
them to stick there The team has many
stars who have been through the bat
tie, and fans are looking for them to
stay out in front.
The Red Sox have long lead on the
Athletics, something like eleven games,
and it does not look as II they will
weaken. But. then. something that is
ball. and It may be that before another
month has progressed the Red Sox will
be in a big slump. while the Athletics
are Just starting. And, when the latter
do start. look out.
Anyway. although they are far be-
hind. the Athletic players and Connie
Mack have not quit. The pep is there
and everything else. but there is some
thing wrong with the team. The old
punch, that of putting over the runners
in a close game, seemed to be missing
but had been much in evidence in the last
two days.
If the Makers are to repeat the tri-
unphs OF the last two years they will

They figure the Red Sox are due for
a slump. Jake Stahls team has not suf-
fered such fate. and 1t IS just about
due to topple. Then the Nationals are
not thought Of seriously as a pennant
factor. There is too much young blood
on the team. which will crack when the
battle gets hottest. Whether this Is true
or not remains to be seen. One thing
Is certain-the Athletics are a confident
set of athletes.

Those persons who keep abreast OF the

their police departments. The public
demands that the police officer be re-
moved as far as possible from things
political In cities where politics flour
ishes we find the most inferior grade OF
police officers. The moment a. policeman
becomes merely a cog in some political
machine, his duties are woven around a
control Of votes-to the exclusion of the
performance or his natural functions.
The larger cites. such as New York
and Chicago. long since came to the
realization that the policeman is employ

and to maintain peace and order.

Herman Wecke a st. Louis newspaper
man, travelling with the Browns, sent
home the following article last Wednes-

There Is one big question in the minds
Of followers OF the Athletics. That is,
"Are the worlds champions out OF the
1912 racer" From the way the team has
come to life at the expense Of the Browns
one would imagine It is not. And that
the way the most of the fans look at it

ball against Stovalls men. After a series
with the Tigers. in which they were none
too successful, the Athletics have recu-
perated, and are now travelling at the
fastest possible gait. Then Jack Coombs.
