Golf Probably From Holland.

Golf is popularity supposed to have
had its origin in Scotland, but there
seems to be good reason for believing
that it came from Holland. The name
itself is undoubtedly of German or
Dutch extraction. and an enactment
of James |. of England, bearing date
1913, refers to considerable importa-
ton of golf balls from Holland, and at
the same time places restriction
upon this extravagant use, in foreign
country. of the coin of the realm.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. July g.
Jimmy Johnston, the Chattanooga
lad now with San Francisco. is setting
up a new stolen base mark in the Pa
Cific Coast League. He has already
stolen over so bases in S5 games and
at this rate will steal far more than
100 bases in a season. Jimmy hopes
to make the mark at least 1875 before
the season is over, a record that has
never been equaled in the annals Of
the professional sport.
A sample Of the work Jimmy is do

from The San Francisco Examiner
regarding a game against Venice in
which Jimmy recently participated:
Jimmy Valentine Johnston stole

Seals were one run behind after one

LOSS Of GREAT
TRIO BREAKS Up
PIRATES TEAM
Retirement of Clarke and Sale Of
Leach Put Big Hole in the
Pittsburg Squad.
= NCINNATI, OHIO, July s.

y INCINNATI, OHIO, July s.
For a dozen years the Pittsburg
Pirates have served as a pen
nant contender in the National
League and their unexpected slump
is the mystery of the 1913 race in the
Lynch organization.
What has caused the team picked
last winter to fight it out all the way
to slip down into the second division
has not been analysed. but according
to scribes here with the Corsairs the
absence of that famous combination,
Clarke Wagner-Leach, is responsible
for the downfall of the Pirates.
Since the day the Louisville and
Pittsburg clubs consolidated and the
stars of the Colonels-CIarke, Wag-
ner, Leach, Richie, Philippe and
others-went to Pittsburg the Smoke
Town organization has been right up
there each year in the pennant chase.
Queer to See EN- Down.
To see the Pirates trailing down in
the second division is something I'M
usual For these dozen past years the
Pirates have had Clarke, Wagner and
Leach. And during the twelve sea-
sons Pittsburg always was one Of the
main factors in deciding what team
On four occasions the Pirates reign
ed supreme in the circuit. In 1901,
1902, 1903, the Pirates won the pen
nant and then in 1909 Clarke with his
great combination repeated and top
ped the season by winning the
worlds series from the Detroit I'll
gers.
But now all that remains Of the
marvellous trio is Honus Wagner.
Clarke retired in 1911 and in the mid
die of last year Barney Dreyfuss put
through a trade with the Chicago
Cubs which took Leach away.
Breaking up the great trio, Clarke
now is trying to rebuild his forces.
He is buying all promising recruits
but finds it almost impossible to get
successors not only for Tommy the
Wee. but himself.
When Kitty Bransfield left the Pi-
rates, Skipper Fred had a difficult
task locating a competent first Sack
er and not until he converted Second
Baseman Dots" Miller into a first
baseman did he succeed.
And now comes his troubles in de-
velOping outfielders to take the place
of the positions covered by Leach and
himself
Must Fill Wagner's Place.
Probably when Clarke is lucky and
picks up a pair of Juvenile stars then
he will have to find somebody to re-
lieve that ancient and marvellous
Wagner. At present, Honus is in the
big arena on his nerve alone. So long
as Hans can put on a glove and move
about he'll be at short for the Pi-
rates, but the information comes that
even the burly Teuton is about ready
to retire.

FIFTY YEARS Of
PUTS
AMERICA ON TOP
James C. Sullivan Writes on the
Value of Exercising for Youths
of United States.
BY James E. Sullivan.
Secretary Treasurer Of A. A. U. and
"Father of Amateur Athletics

RTEARLY half a century has
~ passed since the introduction
of amateur track and field
sports into this country, and in this
long lapse 1t has frequently been
asked what was the real object OF
those early pioneers of athletics.
1t is a question not very difficult to
answer. They wanted fresh air and
exercise for themselves and to. set a
good example to the youth Of Amer
lea for after time. l allude to men
like the late William B. Curtis, Harry
70. Buermeyer and many others, men
so years in advance of their time who
foresaw the growing need Of physical
development and outdoor exercise.
Had not the wisdom OF these old
timers prevailed, where would Amer
lea be to-day in amateur athletics,
especially with regard to our rating
in the Olympic games? Why, we
would be worse off than Russia, Dem
mark or Austria, nations which have
not so far produced a first-rate per-
former either on track or field We
lead the world, and the American
athletes have taken the championship
in every Qlympiad since the first re-
vival in 1896.
Americans Should Improve.
AS to future Olympic fixtures, l see
no reason why we should not continue
to carry off the point honors, for, to
my mind we will continue to grow
better from year to year. as the eX-
ploration of new districts will surely
produce new material This intro
duction of new material means every
thing. An instance Of the force of the
last statement is that of the State OF

talked of worlds champion coming

Athletics a Religion.
For the boys athletics has simply
instituted an eighth day religion, as
ii were II has taught him that in
order to be a success in either track
or field he must be good morally and
physically.
To participate IN school sports
nowadays the boy is impressed with
the idea that he must first Of all OBJ
serve the rules of the sport, and that
under no circumstances can he use
abusive language to his superior or to
another boy. Should the boy be
guilty of any of these things there is
always a referee at hand to disci-
pline him and point out the error
without being harsh or unduly severe
The honesty of competition is also
brought home to the youth. If he
cuts the course, shoulders another boy,
does not touch off in a relay, he SUI
fers a just disqualification and thus
il is shown to him. in the most con-
vincing manner that. after all, hon

Olympic program.
The American delegates, consisting
Of Gustavus Kerby, Colonel Robert VI.
Thompson, James 70. Sullivan, Barton
$. Weeks and Joseph B. Maccabe, will
ask the new association to suggest
that number Of perpetual trophies
be secured and awarded during the
games at Berlin in 1916. These will
include a grand international trophy
for the winner Of the greatest number
Of points in all the recognized Olym-
pic sports of the meet, together with
a number of minor trophies for the
winning nations in track competition,
swimming wrestling, cycling and
similar tests-these trophies to ne

to the country holding the succeeding
meet.
The question OF the measurement
methods Of future games also will be
discussed, At present the Olympic

tenn, whereas the leading athletic ma
tons Of the world use yards and feet
In measuring track and field sports.
1t appears likely that this proposed
reform will fail, however, owing 10
the fact that the metric system has
been used in Olympic games since
the ancient meets in Athens and Is
really a better understood system,
from an international standpoint
than that afforded by the English
measuring methods.
No Way to Compare Men.
At present there is no way OF COM
pairing the best efforts of the world 5
leading athletic performers under the
two systems. For example, the 100
yards. a standard sprint in America,
England, Australasia, Canada and
South Africa is nine yards one foot
and one inch short of the 100-meter
sprint Despite this clash in the two
measuring systems, 1t is probable that
the point of substituting the English
for the metric system will be passed
II the countries most Interested can
secure a standardized set of olympic
events. This in itself would be a
great advantage and assistance to
countries preparing to enter teams,
since Il would permit the program to
be known several years in advance.
In addition, il will bar the local
Olympic committees from inserting in
the schedules number Of events or
contests which are intended purely
for home athletic talent and which
continue for a period of time which
absolutely bars foreign entrants from
continuing in the competition.

TINKER TELLS PITCHERS
NOT TO WALK SLUGGERS

Tinker, boss Of the Reds. has ordered
the abandonment Of an extremely an

heavy hitter to get at a weak one.
No trick in the valendar causes rs

discontinue tho idea.

in his place? That play IS off the
