"THE FORM DIVINE"
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

Il want "a better form. ] not good

thirty-but DO not have any more shape
than though l had been turned ont on
lathe" writes "a young man from middle
western town.
What this young man desires. and what
several thousand others crave, IS the
whispering of some secret that will make
them Greek gods. It's hard job. Most
ly. Ii is impossible
Perhaps this young man has some i'm
ternaI disorder. Maybe he should con-
suit his physician. Perhaps he is a hard
worker or nourishes some habit that
keeps him thin and weak
/ don't know these things. but they have
s. great deal 10 do with the way one
looks.
Fresh air. deep breathing. some health
full. regular exercise and daily baths
might help. They usually do. But they
are not prescribed for invalids.
Some thin people are we'll. l do not
mean the very skinny, because they may
not be well. / mean the moderately
lean. This is truly a perverse world.
The fat man wants to lose weight and
envies the lean fellow. and the human
fishrod Is green with envy every time he
looks at the fat man.

HORACE FOCEL TALKS
TRADE IN NEW YORK
Moore, Magee, Walsh and
Knabe Mentioned in Secret
Meeting of Magnates.

NEW YORK, September 13.-President
Fogel is planning shake-up in the Phil
lies team for next year. The head OF
the Phillies held secret meeting here
last night with President Gafney of the
Boston club, President Brush of the New
York club and Manager Bresnahan of the
st. Louis Cardinals, but when interviewed
declined to say what his mission was
further than admitting that he was work
ing on one or more big deals.
From all appearances it is believed that
President Fogel has completely changed
his attitude of leaving Second Baseman
Knabe go 10 the Cincinnati Reds as man
ager next year. F'ogel, il was said. VIII
not stand in the way of Knabe. who seeks
managerial reins. and would consent TO
the peppery infielder leaving the Phillies,
providing that he got Sweeney of Boston
or as good man to fill the vacant gap.
That the chief of the Philles is plan
ming shake-up in his team for next
year is indicated by the fact that the
names of Pitcher Earl Moore Outfielder
Sherwood Magee and Infielder Runt
Walsh have been mentioned as the proba-
BILE PLAYERS who will figure in deal.
Just how ST. Louis and New York fig
ure i'm the three or four cornered deal Is
not known At any rate. ii was whisper
ed by persons close to the. base ball sit
uation here that the names of Ellis, Bliss,
Steele and Mowrey of St. Louis. Deyore
of New York and Cincinnati players, be-
lieved to be Egan, Clark, Bescher, Grant
and Macdonald, are included in the all
round transfer.

JOHNSON IS BETTER
Than Joe Wood, Says Larry
Lajoie.
AND HE SHOULD KNOW
Maps Second Baseman Says There
Has Never Been Better Pitcher
Than Johnson.

CLEVELAND. September 13.-"Wal-
ter Johnson is far and away better
pitcher than Joe Wood" said Larry
Lajoie. than whom there could scarce
ly be a better judge of pitching
Wood has been pitching way be-
yend his ability this season, simply be-
cause lie has had great team work
ing with him. There never was and
l doubt if there ever will be as great
pitcher as Johnson. He simply has
turned loose his hardest throw with his
stuff on il no catcher could get down
in time 10 receive the ball
Every ball he throws has stuff on IL.
Some of the hops his fast ones taks>
are bigger curves than the biggest the
average pitcher has. I've seen him
throw balls up TO the plate that didn't
look larger than pin head Wood is
a good pitcher, all right but he is sim
ply not in Johnson's class. nor is any
body else.
Wood broke into the league from
Kansas city against us in 1908. i'm Bos-
ton. There was a little house out In
center field, and We had about seven
men who were hitting around 800.
Wow. What grand reception he
got. First, we'd knock a brick out
of the chimney, then few shingles
off the roof, then we'd shatter a win
dow pane We had that little house
ready for the wrecking crew 10 cart
away when we got through.
Nobody ever did anything like that
to Johnson. ana never Will When
fellow is coaching off first when he's
pitching, it's next to impossible To see
his fast ore. If he didn't have gool
control he would kill so many bd,tess
he would be barred from the leagle
He'd wreck every club he pitctse"
against. There's next to no chance t.
duck or back away from his balls
HE hit this kid Martin or the tiSa
landers on the head last spring VIII
one of his curves or slow balls, and
Martin was out for weeks.
Almost anytime you get hi OF
Johnson don't figure that you're sma !
Just figure it that you're lucky; iuck
that you happened to make that blind
swing i'm the spot where the ball came
IF all the pitchers in the league
were like johnson the pitchers poN
would have TO be placed at second base
so one club could get run without
the game going into extra innings.

H.. Tc tailor will say Ia the corpulent
man: '''fut tut. Why. Mr.. Smith, your
girth measures three inches more than
your chest. That's too bad,' Or. to the
youth: Too long on the left side, son.
Why. your right arm is half an inch
shorter than your left one For a month
thereafter the youth keeps one hand in a
pocket 80 people can't see his deformity
Then the thin fellow comes along. and the
tailor has made mistake with the scfs-
sors and has to back out of it gracefully
Dear me, the man of the tape groans
1T Is a pity that you are so thin. See
what close call we had of sewing the
buttons on the back? Really. your chest
Is ten inches too small. and your waist
why. where is there room for your liver?,
And the thin fellow is so hurt that he
doesn't notice the bum job on the collar!
What the tailor doesn't think about. the
doctor does. until half of the male men,
eers of this troubled race are eating their.
hearts out because of lack of form. Still.
marriage licenses are granted daily to
pretty girls and men who would be a sad

two occasions. while only once have they
been able To beat Hamilton. That was a
Sunday in st. Louis when Walter john
son won from Ham, TO =, although the
famed right-hander was 'all in at The

on three occasions out of five, while the
Red SoX, White Sox and Athletics have
been beaten once.
In the twenty games in which Hamilton
is either credited with victory or
charged with a black mark the Browns
have tailed only fifty-three runs not even
three per game, while the opposition has
counted 3D. per contest. An average of
60 bingles per game has been made off
the southpaw. Only fifty-fiye batters
have reached first via the four-ball route,
while seventy-five have retired on strikes.

Connie Mack Likes Him.

After Hamilton recently had lost a
2 to ! game to the Athletics, Connie
Mack was loud in his praises for the
Brownie hurler. Hes the best south
paw in the league, with the exception
of Eddie Plank stated the manager
of the Mackers. That may be true,
but were Hamilton with winning
team it is almost certain he would
outshine the ancient Plank, although
the latter is pitching the best ball of
his career this campaign.
The Brownie southpaw only a little
over week ago startled the base ball
world by letting the hard-hitting Ii
gers down without the semblance of a
base knock. being the first sidewheeler
to be credited with a no-hit contest
for a long time Through the efforts
of Ty Cobb, Ham was robbed of a
shutout.

cessful against the second division
