With Seals.

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 50 bases in So games and
at this rate will steal far more than
100 bases in a season. Jimmy hopes
to make the mark at least 125 before
the season is over, record that has
never been equaled in the annals of
the professional sport.
A sample of the work Jimmy Is do
ing Is seen in the following excerpt
from The San Francisco Examiner
regarding a game against Venice in
which Jimmy recently participated:
Jimmy Valentine Johnston stole
Yesterdays ball game right out from
beneath the nostrils Of H. Hogan's
Venetians. Jeemsi little stunt came In
the ninth inning, when our beloved
Seals were one run behind after one

The American delegates, consisting
Of GustaVus Kerby Colonel Robert NJ
Thompson. James Il. Sullivan, Barton

ask the new association to suggest
that a number of perpetual trophies
be secured and awarded during the
games at Berlin in 1916. These VIII
include a grand international trophy

Of points in all the recognized Olym-
pic sports of the meet. together with

swimming wrestling, cycling and
similar tests-these trophies to ne

to the country holding the succeeding

The question Of the measurement
methods of future games also will be
discussed. At present the Olympic
meets are based upon the metric sys-
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 win fail, however, owing TO
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
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, II Is probable that
the point of substituting the English
for the metric system will be passed
If 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 1t would permit the program to
be known several years in advance.
In addition, il win bar the local
Olympic committees from inserting in
the schedules a number Of events or

for home athletic talent and which

TELLS PITCHERS
NOT TO WALK SLUGGERS

CINCINNATI OHIO. July Joe
Tinker boss of the Reds, has ordered
the abandonment of an extremely an
cient custom-that of passing a
heavy hitter to get at weak one,
No trick in the valendar causes As
much wrath among the bugs as this,
but Tinker isn't playing to popular
approval in ordering his pitchers to
discontinue the idea.
What's the use? says Joe. The per
centage, even with a big slugger, is
3 to l against him and in favor Of the
pitcher Why not go right after him
Why decrease your own per cent of
advantage by putting another runner
on the bases, especially when the 9TH

hitter and send tough pinch hitter
in his place. That play Is off the
map for his club hereafter.

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

ATEARLY half a century has
~ passed since the Introduction
Of amateur track and field
sports into this, country, and in this
long lapse it 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. | alude to men
like the late William b. Curtis, Harry
e. 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, Den
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 Olympiad since the first re-
vival in 1896
Americans Should Improve.
As to future Olympic fixtures, I 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 To-
duCtion of new material means every
thing. An instance of the force of the
last statement is that Of the State Of
Utah Ten years ago if a man had
talked OF a worlds champion coming
from Utah he would have been ridi-
culed. yet at the last Olympic games
in Stockholm Almah Richards. Of
Brigham Young University, Utah, was
the hero of the running high jump,
and Is to- day the greatest natural
jumper the world has ever seen.
Athletics a Religion.
For the boys athletics has simply
instituted an eighth-day religion, as
ii were 1t 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 10 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. II he
cuts the course, shoulders another boy,
does not touch OF I'm relay. he suf-
ferS a just disqualification, and thus
il is shown to him. in the most con-
vincing manner that, after all. hon
esty Is the best policy.

rebel chief, but once firmly established
in power became the big Car John

reforms. He made of the much

was largely instrumental in stamping

field And when he had forced recog-

spirits for peace and good will toward
one happy concerted union for the
common good.

LOSS Of GREAT
TRIO BREAKS Up
PIRATES TEAM
Retirement of Clarke and Sale of
Leach Put Big Hole in the
Pittsburg Squad.

n INCINNATI, OHIO, July B.
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-Clarke, 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
would be the pennant winners.
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 Wasner'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 Pr
rates, but the information comes that
even the burly Teuton is about ready
to retire.

the old war days the pay never did

Square Deal 1is Motto.
Wherefore. the American League
which, in the opinion of Mr. Johnson.
is, after all, the only major league do
ing business-has the heartfelt thanks
of all well wishers OF the game. II
has always been very popular with
the public, and especially with the
playing fraternity, for it has always
stood for a square deal both for the
patrons and the public. Still baseball
frenzy is law unto itself, and the
very rivalry, friendly as It may be
between the two major leagues, has
left along the trail Of the last dee
ade two distinctive factions in fam
dom. One faction wOrships at the
shrine Of the National and another at
the fOOtstOOl of the American League
Ever since the American League
began to cater to the public tandom
has argued over the relative strengths
and merits Of the two major leagues.
The debate never will be closed so
long as both continue to do business.
The PATRONAGE OF each is loyal still
and In the division Of opinion lies the
secret of box office receipts. A fan is
ever open to argument; to conviction
never.
Leagues Are on Par.
Baseball writer's in the big cities
where both major leagues are estab-
lished are rather an unbiased lot
They are generally Of the opinion that
there is no appreciate difference in
the respective strengths of the big
leagues. And why should there be? The
present-day magnate stands ready 20
sacrifice the limit of profits in the
hunt for talent. Each club has its
scouts securing the country for new
players. There is little choice among
the rival managers. Each circuit
boasts its great popular heroes.
There was a time when the Amer
lean League overshadowed its totter-
ing rival. That was back in the war
days of ten years and more ago. The
young circuit. in the hands of young
and vigorous capita IS who had gone
in on gamble, put up the money to
rob the National League of its best
known stars. There was such an ex-
odus of talent from the parent major
that the old established organization
was left weak, indeed.
