CARNATIONS, and how one certain team
has been favored in the National
league. Look here:
AT the trial in which FogePs
charges were investigated by the Ma
tional league last fall such testimony
as this was obtained from Fogel when
it came to the show down:
"'Q-Do you know anything about
Thomas Lynch?
"'A-No.
"'Q--Do you know anything against
the National league?
"'A-No.
"'Q-Do you think any games were
framed during the season, or do you
think any games could be framed7
"'A-No.'
That's Enough From Him."
THAT seems to dispose of Mr.. Fogel
If he really knew anything tending to
discredit baseball. don't you think he
would have carried his case to the
courts and obtained redress when he
was kicked out of the game? His tes-
timony was either false or true. Which
are you going to believe. and would
SON pCHcNe what he says nOWI
Il have had communication with Mr..
Hermann concerning this matter. 1t
seems to be up to the National league.
The national commission will have no
occasion to act unless Fogel attacks
both leagues.
AS | understand now. the National
league officials propose to send out to
all members of the Baseball Writers
association copies of Fogeps testimony,
which. in itself, should be sufficient an
sWer to anything he might say.
National League Should Act"
II am not worrying about Fogel. and
have written Mr.. Hermann telling him
that, in my opinion, there is no occa-
sion for uneasiness The National
league ought to be able to handle the
matter"
At the time of the New York hear
Ing, when Fogel and Murphy backed
down completely in their fight on Tom
Lynch, it was declared by FogeI that
he had "trunkful of documents that
would hang it on somebody" and said
ne would carry the case to the courts.

Diamond Managers Are Grabbing Gridiron Tactics
Nap Players Now Go Through Charging Practice

CHARLEY MURPHY has. unin-
tentionally, no doubt adopted
another football fad with his anti
booze clause Football players in
training do not drink, do not smoke
and they are allowed to eat only
certain simple foods, carefully pre-

OF course, baseball players, who
play so much more frequently and
for much longer sea son, could not
afford to train so vigorously. But
they could grab a lot of hints from
their football brethren.
Many a promising big league
player has eaten his way into the
minor leagues.
Take your raw farmer boy who
is graduated from the pillow to a
tiny minor league and from there
to the big leagues. He is fairly

The Southern league has had
many athletes who ruined
their chances with too much prov
ender. That big Glenn, of the
Nashville team last year, was
victim of too much to eat and too
much sleep. "Buttermilll" Meek. a
former star, became famous for his
habit of filling himself so full of the
usually harmless beverage that he
could barely navigate. And he
drank himself out of Glass A ball
on buttermilk. He must have
weighed 275 when he retired.

will be faster and they will always

y train his men like football
players this season, Joe was a
star of the pigskin pastime him
self in his good day, and he be-
lieves he picked up some ideas
there that might be useful
One thing Joe will require dur
ing the training season is a daily
jump on the scales, under the eye
of the trainer. There's nothing
quite like the old Fairbanks to wise
the physical director up to an ath-
lete's condition.
I'm getting right down to
weight" the old timers are always
saying. And it's hard to tell, just
by looking, whether they are or not
But if a player performed at 1872
pounds in mid-season last year and
shows 179 now he hasn't got an
alibi in the world, and when the
order comes for him to take a cou-
pie Of extra laps around the park
he can't even groWl.
If a man begins to lose weight
and gets below normal, that tells
lot to a wise trainer too.
There can be no question but that
accurate daily weighing of ball
players, under the eye of wise
trainer, would enable him to dag
nose their troubles much more
wisely.
A MOTHER of Joe Birmingham
ideas is to teach his athletes

tioe' of the football field. In this
work the men are lined up and at
the word start on the dead gallop,

DUKE and PROFESSIONALISM

Supplemented persons who are talking of the
"fortune' that Duke Kahanamoku can make on
the vaudeville stage are clearly untitled to advise
him against remaining an amateur. In the first
place, Duke says he has no big offers to go on
the stage; in the second place, there is assur-
ance that his "act' would agov in vaudeville.
The mere fact that he wot.ld be billed as the
worlds champion swimmer would not continue
to draw crowds-and please the management
unless he could develop an act that would 60 for
fifteen to twenty-five ininutesain small tank.
Champion swimmers before now have failed ri
liculously when they tried vaudeville. Speed
exhibitions are not practicable and Duke is not
d champion diver or water-acrobat Further
more, Duke is no more than youth; he has be-
fore him years Of Improvement, if he wishes to
improve and continues to lead a clean and
Wholesome life During all his years as an anna
teur he can travel widely, competing in aquatic
events In 1916 he will doubtless be called on
for the American Olympic team that will go to
Germany.
AS professional swimmer, his matches will
be few and poorly paid. His success on the vau-
deyille stage is at least uncertain Why should
he give up his amateur standing and his oppor-
.tunities to represent Hawaii against the best
swimmers in the world, on the doubtful chance
of making afew thousand dollars in vaudeville?
He can take that chance several years from
now if he wishes 70. Meanwhile, Hawaii hopes
that he will continue to uphold her amateur
laurels as worthily as he has in the past.
Anyway, let Duke himself decide the question.
We understand he wishes to remain an amateur.
That ought to settle it.
