OIL YMPIC ATHLETES NOT

The use Of oxygen gas VIII be barred
in the Olympic games The Swedish
Olympic committee has announced rul-
ing to that effect, the question having
been raised by British and American
newspapers.
Notwithstanding certain trials in
which the stimulating gas was used
with apparently good effect. there Is q
general feeling that use of the gas is a
kind of drug habit, and the Swedish Of
ficials' ruling will occasion little regret
in this country
In the last few years oxygen gas fire.
quently has been administered to ath-
letes and opinions have differed as to
the benefits derived from its use. 1t
has been tried on runners in middle
distance races in England and at that
time a runner who took the gas was
said to have finished his trial in faster
time than he usually ran and was less
distressed after the effort
one of the first instances of the use
Of the gas was in the 49-round fight
between Joe Jeanette and Sam McNey
in Paris on April II. 1909. The battle
Was one of the most gruelling ones ever
fought and both men were literally
supplied With the gas when they began
to show signs of distress. Jeanette
showed the better results from its use
and finally knocked out McNev
Soon after this a Chicago athlete tried
il in 400-meter hurdle race and ran
three seconds faster for the distance
than he had ever run before.

thus leave the afternoon clear for

worked in nine. He didn't pitch
the full time in each. but those he
didn't start were the ones that
really proved the hardest tests. He
was called upon to save the day
when some stablemate wavered
Therein lies Walshs great value.
Since 1905 Walsh had pitched
practically a third of ell the White
Sox games. Fifty games in a sea-
son is nothing for him. He'll turn
off that many on his own hook
and finish half as many more for
less fortunate mates He won
pennant and a worlds champion

He won a city series from the Cubs

a club may be behind him. Walsh

that Walsh is the leading pitcher

In many respects the cases of
Mathewson and Walsh are quite

the pitching burdens of the Giants
on his own broad shoulders He
not only did his share. his regular
turn. but served as relief man in
every important crisis, Just as
Walsh has done and is still doing.
But never in the heXday of his ca
