PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
COMPETITIVE GAMES.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion.

The big thing In whatever we under
| take is the incentive. In business. the
governing idea is to make a fortune.
In gymnastic work. as engaged In by
amateurs, the purpose should be physical
perfection.
While very few have closely approached
perfection, every one can at least reach
physical betterment. Left to himself. the
average man soon grows weary OF any
course Of exercise that he may map out.
Place him in competition with others and
make exercise a game, and the results
are heightened accordingly.
It Is not necessary that men enter a
gymnasium for the purpose Of either box
Ing or wrestling. Hand ball, basket bail.
| bowling and any one of numerous other
! sports not only furnish the exercise need
| ed, but also insure the zest and interest
| that make the winning OF the contest
greater than the idea Of physical better
ment.
Every man is egotistical enough to want
| to succeed. He may devote the exercise
Of this desire to card games, or to
| gambling devices generally. and burn UP
his mental energy without the proper
| compensation to his physical organism.
But once he enters into any game OF
| physical contest he enjoys all Of the
| thrills Of competition. and actually reaps
more benefit than he would from the
same amount Of physical exertion with
| out the mental interest.
| This competitive form of exercise
should be regular. 1t is not essential
| that teams or clubs be formed. because
| the members would be able to meet only
| once a month or once q week. It IL very
| seldom In any gymnasium that there are
| nAFQ0nR fhaFA fhe
| same time. and irrespective Of how even
| iy matched they are should they engage
| In competitive sport such as hand ball
| both or all OF them df there are moFe)
will emerge in much better condition
than they would by following their in
| dividuaI and uninteresting ideas Of physi-
| cal regeneration.
This idea Of competition should be kept
| within reasonable bounds. There Is al.
| ways one man who can lift a great deal
| more weight than any other man In a
| gymnasium. II would be an ill-advised
! move to attempt to outlift this individual

CHICAGO, July 19.-They think they
have another Joe Tinker in the West
Side. His name is Joseph Carney and
he has been playing shortstop with the
Hinckley team. a Cub scout saw him
down in the state and signed him. He
is six feet tall and is said to possess all
the things OF which star ball players are
made. He will join the Cubs tomorrow.
Then the management will have an op-
portunity to- see whether he is a second
Joe Tinker or whether he just looks
like it.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PHILADELPHIA. July 19.-Conditions
of affairs in the American League have
reached a point where vigorous action
is needed to restore the prestige of the
organization before the public. Bad url-
piring, needless assigning OF the "arbi'
trators.' reckless disregarding of the
rules and profanity by the players are
charges which can be easily proved IT
recent games at Shibe Park.
Officials of the Athletics have gone or
the warpath to remedy these conditions
President Benjamin #. Shibe has sent te
President Ban Johnson Of the league a
strong protest not only against the man.
ner in which Ban has assigned his um.
pires this season. but also against I'm
pire O'Loughlin's failure to compel the
Detroit batsmen to remain in the bats
mans box in Wednesdays game.
The past system Of trying to assign
each umpire to city for the same num-
ber Of games in a season has been totally
disregarded in the American League this
year. OF course. it is absolutely impos'
sible to give each arbitrator exactly the
same number of contests at one park az
all of the others, but the plan adopted
this season has been such that It Is eyi.

Assigning Of Umpires.
For instance. there are soventy-sevel
home games for the Athletics. II th
umpires were given as nearly equal ,
number OF games as possible at Shib
Park each one Of them would be here 70
nineteen or twenty contests. The recor,
shows, however. that there is no attemp
made to do this.
During the present season to date ther
have been forty-six championship game
at the home of the Athletics.
The veterans Of the umpire staff hav,
been assigned to this city as follows:
O'Loughlin and partner (Westervelt an,
Egan), twenty-five games.
Evans and Westervelt, eleven games.
Connolly and partner. five games.
Dineen and partner. five games.
That record speaks for itself. More thai

have been arbitrated by silk" II th

all the worse. The officials of the hom
club doubtless feel that silk is bein,

The kind of physical competition that
brings about the proper results must
place each contestant within his own
scope Of possibilities.
For example, In a contest Of bowling
no man can do better than his best.
He Is amply able to handle the ball, and
consequently Is not placed in jeopardy
Of straining himself as he would be in
lifting weights.
Although the average business man
may doubt the assertion. the truth re-
mains that there is just as much absorb
ing interest in any OF these competitive
sports as there Is In a game OF billiards
or pool that calls for skill rather than
physical expenditure.

The Ioffler club as scheduled to play

able coincidence that the Southland nine

means. is q pretty fair waiter and uses

In the field Gill is a star. The young

OF the most accurate flelders with any of
the clubs. Not only is he able to field the
ball we'll. but he throws 1t just as &e-
curately.
Take Gill away from the shortstop's

Cows Were Fed To Produce the
Maximum Yield-Clover Hay,
Cornstover, Corn and Cob
Meal With Oats.

Plymouth, Ind, March 2, 1912.
1t may be of interest to many
farmers who follow dairying to
know what some farmers are doing,
under conditions common to average
farms in Indiana. Mr.. John Suse-
land residing near Plymouth, Ind,
has kept a careful record of the
milk produced by his herd during
the past year. The results given
below show that with conditions com
mon on every farm he has been able
to produce a quantity of milk and
butterfat above the average in this
state.
Mr.. Suseland has a farm of 100
acres near the city of Plymouth
During the past year he has MIXED
from eight to fourteen cows or an
average of twelve cows for the
year. All were fresh in the late
winter and early spring. These cows
produced a total of 90032 Tbs. of
milk averaging a test of 4.73 per
cent, and a total of 42761 Tbs. of
butterfat The butterfat was sold
to the local creamery at Elgin
prices, the price varying with the
season Of the year. The total value
of the butterfat sold average price
26.45c) was $115762. If we reduce
these figures to an average per COW
we find that each cow produced 1878
lbs. of milk, containing 1863 Tbs. of
butterfat, worth $96.47. If we add
to this the value of the skimmilk
5000 TBS. "a zoe per cwt. we have a
total for each COW of $110.27. IN
fortunately we have no accurate
data on the cost of feeding these
cows but liberal estimate of $4,000
per COW will still leave a net
profit of $50.27.
These cows were not fed to pro-
duce a maximum yield They were
fed during the winter months on
clover hay. cornstover mot shred
ded) oat and wheat straw, corn and
cob meal with oats. Glover and rye
pasture In the summer. Grain all
the year. All feed produced on the
farm.
The herd consists of high grade
Jerseys. Seven of the, cows were
young heifers calving in the spring.
Mr.. Suseland courteonsly gave us
the above figures to show what may
be done with a dairy COW if we try.
