and many Of them are good baseball
players When a man like Hugh Jen-

raises a legitimate subject for a scrap.
The Old Order and the New.
Baseball has developed in more
ways than one in the last decade.
Without knocking the game at all, it
might be pointed out hat it once was
the stronghold Of the rowdy. Hitter
ates with two good fists used to run
the game On the theory that it was
for men only, and might was right.
That has been changed. Fellows like

colleges and entered organised base.

One week from today and the long

discussed worlds championship
wrestling match between Walter Mil
Ter. famed the length and breadth of

Miller. n our own Sailor Jack. who
also has a reputation all over the mid

the first worlds championship contest

the state and it will bring together
two great little gladiators of the mat.
Yesterday Jack old the writer of his
confidence in being able to give Miller
the greatest battle of his life. II am
in the best shape of my life," said the
little marine. and have always
wanted to meet this fellow. | am
glad that the match is almost here.
l have heard SO much about Miller,
and l have been after a match SO
long, that l am glad the time has
come when l will know just where we

The world-traveled little sailor is
probably today in the best condition
of his entire ire That is what he
says. and judging from the way he
wrestled with Lundin at the big show
the other night. he is better today
than he was on that memorable. even

Thomases of the town admit that he
was some wrestler.
When 1t comes to courage. to hardi-
hood. to endurance, to gameness and
the ability to go a long route. it seems
hardly possible that there is a little
man the size of the marine who will
have anything on him. When a nov

wrestling game. Jack met Conkle and
1t took all the endurance that master
Of the mat possessed to beat him.
This Conkle gruelled up the marine
something shamefully, and he never
whimpered.
Jack is one Of the most powerful
little fellows in the world. His mus
cles around the shoulders and neck
are truly wonderful. Few wrestlers
have been successful in clamping nell
sons on him. The Sailor is aWfully
powerful in the arms, too. and to nm
ish of these attributes Of strength he
possesses a pair OF thick and solid legs
that makes billing him. around the
mat a very dificult task.

CHICAGOANS ARE
WEAK PHYSICALLY

Chicago. March 2~.-Flatfeet, round
shoulders and the tendency to acquire
a paunch are the three typical ills
with which Chicagoans are most af.
fected, according to Martin A. Delaney
respectively Of the Chicago Athletic
association and the Illinois Athletic
club. .. =
The marked characteristic. accord
ing to Delaney, is the tendency to de-
velop an increased waist line. and q
consequent dropping Of the shoulders.
With increased success in business the
average man.. he says. takes on fat
which results often in the dropping Of
the arch Of the foot and he becomes
fiatfooted.
DR.. White says that less that i've per
cent Of .Chicago's business mel are

they are strong mentally and weak

The matter Of preference between a
college and sand-lot player is merely a
matter of managerial belief or preju.
