BANKING ON LONG GEORGE.
New York Yankees Believe McCon-
nell Will Develop Into Good Man.

A number of prominent players in the
American League are of the opinion that
George Mcconnell. the elongated spitball
pitcher of the Yankees who did such
consistent work at the end of last season,
will be winning pitcher for the High
landerS next year.
When the big fellow was secured from
the Rochester club there We're those who
thought he would go along good, and
there We're just many who had it
figured that George would be nothing bur
first-class minor league hurler and
would not stick with the hill team all
season.
The human beanpole' had hard time
getting started. but when he did he show ed
such form that players in his league said
batter than Ty Cobb said last season in
Detroit that Mcconnell would come
through with the stuff.
Mcconnell is big league pitcher and
will be better in the season of 1913"
said Tyrus. His spitball is like all others
right they are hard to hit. You noticed
at the close of the season he was getting
the ball over the plate, and the result
was that the boys We're not hitting him
very much. They talk about hurlers max
ing that spitball break both ways. Well,
Mcconnell has that down to perfection.
All our players are of the opinion that
his wet ball is puzZler and has a great
deal of speed on it. His work at the end
of the season proved all that / have said
about him and his delivery
Mcconnell was to be shipped back to
Rochester last summer, but when waivers
were asked on him there We're some clubs
in the American League which would not
waive. Wolverton then came to the con-
clusion that he had better keep him. The
big fellow did not get discouraged He
stuck to the ship. and it could be noticed
that he got better in the last three months
of the season. There's room for improve

A decision rendered by the board of

PHYSICAL Fitness for Business Men
REDUCING THE "fHGI1ER COST"
Bv Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

tleman who finds more relaxation in out
of-door sports than he does inhallng the
fumes of clubroOmS.
This is not a sermon, but passing COM
ment on the high living proposition.
Still. high living is compensatory. The
higher one lives the shorter one lives
and the undertakers must make money.
Fast funerals are trailers that TURK
along the highway of excessive fare.
If there is really any fun in living. then
that fun comes mostly from the physical
joy of living-the feeling of tensile power
the suppleness and durability of body.
Training in taXicabs and dieting on
fizzwater and deep sea foods and greasy
stuff served with French names are not
calculated to add to ones years or annex
anything worth while to ones joys.
1t is not the higher cost of living that
concerns the business man. 1t is the
deaf h dealing living that he so willingly
pays for.
He knows it-but he fancies he is the
exception.
We all imagine that We have a stand
in with fate-and one after another is
gathered into the great comic supple
ment of mistaken ideas.
A lean life and a long one has its
benefits.
