power mental feats with sixteen-candle-
power body. 1t simply can't be done.
Prolonged and unbias ed mental activity
is possible only when the body supplies
the material energy to keep up the bat
tie of the mind. A reasonable amount of
physical exercise. plenty of deep breath
ing, lots of fresh air and regular baths
will supply all of the units of material
force that the mind may require.
The business or professional man who
neglects the physical part of the close
corporation of mind and body is certain Of
FORGETTING pleasure as we'll as the broad
est material success. Cases of over
burdened minds are so common that BUSH
ness failures continue at an alarming
rate A business failure is based ninety
nine times on unsound judgment to every
one time of unforeseen contingencies that
may be classified as unpreventable acct
dents.
With body that is physically fit the
business man IS not only placed in posi-
ton to meet the tide of battle as it
sweeps in upon him. but he has that feel
ing of perfect balance. and he is able to
view each new situation with cool judg-
ment.
Because he can remain unruffied and
unfatigued he is never going to say or
do any hasty thing that will make his
way more difficult tomorrow.
Physical fitness, therefore, is an asset.
and regarded in this light. it is one of
the best investments that any business
or professional person can make.

MAKE HARE FOOT BALL LEADER
First Step Toward Sport Reorganiza-

PHILADELPHIA. December 1.-THE
first move of the board of directors of the
University of Pennsylvania Athletic AS
ISOLATION toward reorganizing both foot
ball and rowing was made when the COM
mittees for each branch of sport for the
coming year were appointed.
T. Truxton Hare, the famous giant
guard of the 1901 team, was named as
the head of the foot ball committee. In
his final year when captain of the team
Hare did what few other men ever at
tempted. He gave the signals did the
punting, caught all kicks. played on the
line of defense except when a signal was
given by the opponents for a punt. played
in the backfield on offense and did more
valiant work as coach than any captain
Penn ever had.
His associates on the committee are
John H. Minds, another famous old Penn
captain: Thomas Reath. jr., Capt Lewis
A. Young and Manager Richard Mutt.
The rowing committee was appointed
only pro tenn and consists of but two
men, John A. Brown and Robert A. Lam

they are to get rid of the old coach and
cancel the present agreement with the

FREDERICK TONIGHT
BrookIanders Expect to- Win,
Although They Are Consid-

Catholic University's basket ball team
is billed to face Frederick College at the
National Guard Armory gymnasium at
S:15 tonight. Frederick College has a
heavy. fast quint. and a good game is
assured the local lovers of the game.
The local quint may be weakened by the
absence of Mcdonald and Keegan. two of
the stars. Yesterday was the first time
this week that either of the men was at
class, and there is little chance of Coach
Rice starting them.
DOnnelly, new man on the squad, may
be started at center tonight. In practice
lately he has shown first-string ability,
and Coach Rice is expected to give him a
chance.
Just who will be started in McDonald's
place is not known. Derby. who has been
candidate for the center position, will
probably start in Keegan's place.
Capt. Clancy will be seen at his regular
place, and 1t is expected to play a good
game. as his showing in the recent work
outs has been exceptionally good. Koran,
who has been playing "a star game at for
ward, will be placed at right forward.
Coach Rice expects his men to win the
game with ease. even though his team
will be weakened.

ONLY SOUTHERN TEAM
To Be Played by Georgetown Next
Year Will Be Virginia.

1t was learned at Georgetown yesterday
from Manager Barrett Of next seasons
foot ball team that the eleven would
meet Virginia In the only southern battle.
The schedule this past season was too
weak. To think Of running up a score Of
81 points against a southern team was
ridiculous. Nevertheless this is exactly
what happened in the Washington Col
lege contest this past fall. Now the HILL
top management proposes to book no
southern team other than the University
of Virginia. This contest will without
any doubt decide the southern champion
ship. because Virginia meets Vanderbilt.
and as Vanderbilt usually has a wonderful
team the southern championship can be
easily decided.
An effort was made to book Vanderbilt
here Thanksgiving day, but the Wander
bilt management refused to consider the
because Of its annual game
with Sewanee. This game at Nashville.
Tenn. is similar to the Georgetown-Vir-
ginia contest. and is regarded as the most
important contest Of the far south.

have driven them to cover. in the opinion
Of many.
Speaking of managers. it might not be
a bad idea to look over the record OF

And do not overlook Charles A. CO.
miSkey.'
Realizing that his playing days are
over, so far as the major leagues are
concerned, unless he comes back with a
vengeance, George Mullin seems deter
mined to show his old form next season.
In a letter to a Detroit newspaper Mullin
says that he is already undergoing
course of training for the purpose of re-
ducing his weight and that at this time
he weighs but 191 pounds. There has not
been anything wrong with Mullins pitch
ing arm. but he has handicapped himself
by the fact that he carried a lot of SUI
perf1uous weight. If he can get himself
back into good condition he should be
able to hold his own. Condition has
much to do with a players success, and
especially is that true of pitcher.
Luther Mccarthy made a very favor
able impression in his recent fight against
Jim Flynn. The fact that he has a wal
lop and can take lots of punishment
gives hope that he may yet reach the
highest rung of pugilism. His next
chance will depend on what sort of a
showing he will make against AL Palzer.
Within the next year the fighting game
is sure to develop a white heavyweight
who will have some right to the claim of
champion. and there are, at least candi-
dates for the honor at present. Nc

BY J. ED GRILLO.

While the figures which Garry Herr
mann quotes as having been drawn by
Frank Chance as manager of the Cubs
are undoubtedly correct, the fact seems
to have been overlooked by the Cincin-
natl magnate that Chance as owner of
10 per cent of the club stock had a much
larger income than the mere drawing of
the salary referred to. The chances are
that when his dividends and salary are
combined that he averaged about $4,000
per year, the figure that he will demand
from the New York club. The Chicago
club has been a big money maker, and
Chance made a fortune out of his stock
alone.
It is a known fact that one season his
profits. including salary, were exactly
$21 900, SO that, based on that income, he
is not exorbitant in his demands from
the New York club.
Chance has undoubtedly been very
successful manager. though the claim
that he is the greatest ever is being dis
puted by no less an authority that John
B. Foster. who in the following insists
that other men who have been in charge
of ball clubs are entitled. to say the least,
to some consideration. This is what Fos-
ter says:
1T has been written: Frank Leroy
Chance is the most successful base ball
manager the game has developed, and
when his Chicago team was at it's best
few years ago he had what base ball
critics conceded to be the greatest base
ball team that ever played
There are two mistakes in that state
ment as some view the matter. In the
first place, Chance was not SO great
as Frank Selee. the man who
preceded him and who put together the
Chicago team. Chance did not do that.
HanlOn was a greater manager than
Chance, for he built up a championship
team from players who had been rejected
by other managers. Selee was greater
manager than Chance. and the Boston
team which won the championship under
Selee was a better team than the Cubs
under Chance. The old Chicagos. when
Chance was a boy. were a better all
around team than the Cubs.
Nor is Chance a better manager than
McGraw. In many respects he has not
proved so competent. McGraw has built
up team from young players who won
a championship. something that Chance
never did.
This by no means infers that Chance is
not good and a fine manager, but his
tory tells by far a different story than
that Chance has been the most successful
manager in base ball. nor that the Chica-
gos under his management We're the
greatest team of history.

fourth Street Sporting Club of New York
has offered $1,000 for bout with Knock
out Brown, but Rivers is expected to
turn it down, too, as he wants more for
meeting a man Of Browns caliber than
for a match with Brock.

EVERS OFFERS SIX
MEN FOR HAUSER
Cubs Willing to Give Miller
Higgins Good Measure for
His Star Shortstop.

CHICAGO, December 14-Shortstop
Hauser Of the st. Louis Cardinals is the
man Johnny Evers desires for his Cub
infield for 1913. Information handed out
last night at Cub headquarters contained
the startling news that Evers, having no
less than eleven infielders, was willing
to hand over six to Miller Higgins the
new leader Of the Missourians, for
Hauser. Some of these players are new
ones; in fact, have never appeared in
Chicago regalia. while Jerry Downs, Tom
Downey, who refuses to go to the Pacific
Coast. and Phelan. recently secured from
Cincinnati, are the veterans said to be
included in the deal.
1t is doubtful. however, if Higgins let's

men the Cubs offer. The scrappy little
shortstop of the ST. Louis team is a born

he secured from Cincinnati in the deal,
