Why Do Athletes Die Young?
Experts Discuss Peculiar Condition.
Disease Takes Them IN Prime

YV7HY is ii that an athlete, who
w keeps in perfect physical
trim. is generally an easy
prey of disease when sickness
finally does get grip on him?
Why Is 1t that Hercules like
Ralph Rose falls victim to dis
ease after q short fight when
older and physically weaker men
survivor
There are numbers OF well
known athletes who have died in
cary life-died in harness as It
were-just as Rose did
ness, in preparation for the big
stadium Saturday week. He has
been an active competitor here
almost up to the time of his
death, and that such a large.
strong athlete should be taken on
right In his youth Is something
that has caused the question to
be oft repeated; Why does not .
strong, healthy body like his
WlInStana disease!
1t would naturally appear TO
one that a man who is in sound
bodily health would have a bet
ter chance OF lighting OFF dam
gerous disease. like typhoid or
pneumonia, than a man Of less
robust physique.
Notwithstanding these things
the reverse seems to be the case
and disease seems to take on ath-
ietes far quicker than people who
are not mixed up In active ath-
letics. There Is long list Of
athletes who have succumbed
once disease has got them In Its
grip.
1t is q well known fact that
boxers In = great many instances
develop consumption. Jee Cans
and George Dixon are two In
stances OF men being taken on
right in their prime. and many
other lighters could be mentioned.
Old time Olympic club men will
remember Jetf Martin, one OF the
best wrsstlers and boxers the
club had, about 10 years ago.
When pneumonia got hold Of
him he lasted but = few days.
Then there was r. J. Phillips,
who contracted pneumonia after
going home from the Olympic
club some years ago after Wfn-
ming the coast wrestling title.
He died within . week. Alec
Mcvicker il another instance Of
quick death by pneumonia after
having won the club handball
tourney.
Barney Kieran. the holder Of
worlds swimming records today.
Is another instance OF the quick
death Of an athlete. Kieran won
the Australian championships
some years ago in Brisbane, and
less than week later he Mas

Tiselitiras, the Greek athlete.

few months ago from consump-
tfon.
John Elliott. president OF the
Pacific association, has been con-
nected with athletics hereab0uts
for nearly , quarter Of q century.
During that time he has seen
many athletes taken on just Al
Rose has been. Elliott Is OF the
opinion that Il has been clearly
demonstrated that when any dis

The new Crane play is a story of

WHERE THE TRAIL DIVIDES

When Mr.. Will Lillibridge wrote his
famous novel, Where the Trail Di

Indian characters, would seize upon il
as a worthy successor of his greatest
play, "Strongheart," which enjoyed
the distinction of many years success.

"Strongheart," in a way, was an I'M
finished product In it the great alb

should the irtermarriage of the red
and white races cause the Ostraciza-
ton of the contracting parties. In
"Strongheart" the Indian gives up his
white sweetheart, while in where the

only to give her up afterward. 1t is

THE GOOSE GIRL.

Harold MacGrath's popular novel
The Goose Girl" dramatized by Geo,
! ID. Baker, will be the attraction at the
Crescent for the week of Sunday, Jan.
10Th. The play tells the story of de-
ceit and diplomacy played by the chan
cellor of Ehrcnstein, so that his own
daughter should be queen, by having
the real princess abducted by a band
of gyDsies. Grumbach, unknowingly,
assists in the abduction and then goes
to America where he makes a fortune
as a master plumber. He returns to
his native land to right the wrong he
has committed. With the assistance
of the American consul at Dreiburg,
he furnishes proofs that the humble
little goose girl, who served him with
beer in the old tavern, is the real prin-
cess and the Princess Hildegard is the
daughter of Count Won Herbeck, the
arch conspirator in the abduction plot.
Gretchen, the goose girl, is loved by
the young king of Jugendheit, disguis-
ed as a vintner named Leo, while Ar
thur Carmichael, the American consul,
is in love with Hildegarde who, after
the announcement leaves with her
father and Carmichael for America, to
begin life anew under different sur
roundings.

Among all the talk in conservation
of natural resources which we hear,
it must not be forgotten that the rich
est of all our natural resources con-
sists of the children of the nation, and
one of the foremost agencies in child
conservation" is the kindergarten.
Four noted Commissioners of Edu-
cation for the United States, Henry
Barnard, LID, John Eaton, Ph.D.,
LID, William T. Harris, PhD., LID,
and Elmer Ellsworth Brown, Ph.D.,
LID, have all been earnest advocates
of the kindergarten, and have spoken
and written in its favor. Other
modern educators who cordially APP
prove the kindergarten are: Nicho-
las Murray Butler, Phi LID, presi-
dent of Columbia University, which
was founded in Colonial times as
Kings College of the City of New
York; the Rev DR.. Lyman Abbott, ed
itor of the Outlook Charles W. Eliot
president emeritus of Harvard UniYer-
sity, and James L. Hughes. LID. in
spector of schools, Toronto, Canada.
1t surely must be of Importance to
parents to know a little more about
the kindergarten system for which
these men stand, and about the author
of the system. 1t will be of interest,
therefore, to learn something of the

need of sympathy, happiness and play
