We have INSIDE information" that

sport, in real honest sport, we sin
cerely wish that the real man will at

cycling game for years here and
abroad, and we believe that the man
from Mantova, Italy, is the only one
that, at the present time, will put in
danger our great American cham
ion, Frank Kramer. Jackie Clark, the
very modest" rider, never had and
never will have q chance to win our
championship for the simple reason
he lacks the necessary final sprint.
Alfred Goullet and Bob Spears, of the
Australians, have a very good chance.

MATHEWSON BEST
NATIONAL PITCHER
"Big Six" Leads Other Twill

pitcher of the champion Giants, is the
champion pitcher of the National

shining lights of the parent organiza-
ton, pitched in 40 games, and his rec
ord of victories is 90 as against IL
games lost. The league leaders rec
ord is not calculated upon his per-
centage of victories, however. the sys-
tenn adopted being essentially the same
as that used in compiling the Ameri-
can League averages this year, based
upon the average of runs earned per
game of nine innings.
The list shows that 20 earned runs
we're scored off Mathewson, an aver
age of 2.06 the game. Babe Adams,
of Pittsburgh. made the nearest ap-
proach to this record. He won FL and
lost 10 games. and the rs runs earned
off his delivery averaged 215 to the
game. Tesreau and Demaree. of New
York. are close up, standing third and
fourth, with averages of 2.17 and 2.21,
respectively.
The strike-out record of 16S Is held
by Seaton, of Philadelphia, with Tes-
reau. of the Giants, a close second, his
victims numbering 1877. Seaton also
gave the most bases on balls--13S-and
Lavender. of Chicago. hit the most
batsmer-13. Alexander. of Philadel-
phia, is the -shut-out king, having
whitewashed his opponents seven
times.
The club records show that the Chi
cago Cubs were handed the greatest
number OF passes by opposing pitch

HARVARD DIRECTOR
PRAISES ATHLETICS
Says Games Fit a Man Mental
ly and Physically for BUSH
ness Success.

Participation in athletics in youth
fits man better for the struggle for
business supremacy In after life than
non-athletic pursuit. This is the
view of DR.. Dudley A. Sargent, Har-
Yards famed director of athletics,
who says:
Baseball, football. and all athlet-
les have cut q big figure in the de-
velopment of the American business
man. 1t might be pointed out that
from the time that sports began to
engage universal attention, began the
wonderful industrial expansion of
the nation.
1.-THE tendency of the games is to
make a man alert and thus he I'M
consciously thinks quickly. Why
should not this trait be handed down
to the man when he takes up his life's
work? 1t is bound to show up in his
vocation. Thus business supremacy
n the United States might be traced
n a measure to early work on the
diamond, gridiron or cinder track"

enough by his partner, Hehir, tire

came together and Grendas In order
to save himself, pushed Clark off his

His head was gashed and blood flowed
freely from the wound. He was well
cared for and In an hour or so was Just
as good as ever. In the crash others
went down, among them Petit Breton,
Lawrence, Carman. Cory and verri.
It was Carman's second hard fall SO
far and this boy is in pretty tough
shape. Verri and Breton were stunned
and carried off the track, but they
came back shortly afterward and went
on with the race.

The spectators settled down, believ-

Grassy Ryan made his presence
felt by a desperate sprint. This lasted
several minutes and was only
stopped by another fall, in which
Fogler, Hehir and Pye were the vic

is evident that the race Is going to
be a hard one. Everybody seems to
be out for himself, and there Is sure
to be more doing than in previous
years.
