CORNELL FOOTBALL TEAM
 HAS MANY GOOD COACHES

Ithaca, N. Y., Sept. Eff talent in the coaching staff means success, then Cornell should have a winning foot ball team this season. Never before has the local campus seen so many experts gathered floor the purpse of teaching the Big Red Team" the way to win on the gridiron. Headed by pr. Al 1T. Sharpe, the staff includes De.1 Reed of Dunkirk, who will again have general charge of the 1inemen, with Ray Van Orman to instruct the ends and Fred Guetter for the tackles Dr. Sharpe will take care of the back field instruction.
 Guetter, who. graduated from Am herst last June, is a former star of Penn Charter School, where he was a protegee of Dr. Sharpe. He is si fast and sure tackle and, what is also important, has the duality of impart- ing his Knowledge.
 Trainer John F. Moak1ey will have his hands full this year. In addi- ton to the training of the football ton, he has called out the track can didates for Sept. IS. This is the ear Hest the track candidates have ever been called out and the action is ta,- ken because Cornell will have to de- velop a lot of new men in the places of Capt. Jones, Cozzens and the other point winners who have graduated. Coach Moak1ey will give most of his attention to cross country and long distance runners this fall.

ATLAS SAYS STAMM
 IS PHYSICAL MARVEL
Youth Appearing At Plaza Theatre Has Wonderful Physical
 Development.

According to Prof. Jim Atlas, Or vile Stamna, the strong man who is performing at the Plaza theatre this week, has the most marvellous phys ique he has ever gazed upon. I've seen them aI1,'' says Atlas, ''but this youngster has them all beaten. I've been with strong men, wrestlers, scrappers, etc., for 43 years, but this boy to me looks the best, and he's ony a. boy at that. He has even a better development than Sandow." :" Just to show that he meant what he said, Atlas had young Stan1n strip himself at the baths yesterday The muscles on every part of che youth s body stand out like bands of iron. ev- en when no attempt to use them is made. This is especially true of the chest and hip muscles.
 Some of the stunts Stanm performs seem impossible, but the youth goes through them three times. a. day ap- parentIy without effort. He supports a piano and man playing upon his chest at the same time singing a song. He lifts a horse one hand. He also plays violin with a 65 pound dog strapped to his bow hand.
 Stamm is but IT years of age with a height of 5 feet inches, and weighs 16S pounds He is a. student at the Los Angeles high school. He intends to make enough this winter and next spring to put him through college.

NAPOLEON LAJOIE,
 CLEVELAND STAR, SS
 YEARS YOUNG TO-DAY

Poor old Napoleon Lajoie, the aged. feeble, decrepit and patriarchal eco ond baseman of the Cleveland Aneri- cans, will celebrate his thirty eighth birthday today. For several years past Larry has been so weak and dim of eye that he hasn't been able to swat the pill for anything better than .36S and 1868 and 1884. And yet the senti- mental attachment of the Cleveland management for that crumbling hu
 man ruin is such that he hasn't been fired. Who says that sentiment plays no part in professional baseball? F1e upon the cynic, whoever he is! Yes, regardless of whose corns may be stepped upon, we repeat it-Fie. upon him! There isn't another club in either major league, with the excep- ton of fifteen, that would give the ancient wreck a job if Cleveland should let him out.
 The great Frenchman was born in Woonsocket, R. l., Sept 5, 1875, and
 he has been playing big league base ball for seventeen years and twenty four days. His first professional ap- pearance was with Fall River, in the New England League, in 1896. He broke into the National League in August of that year, playing the in- itial bag for the Philadelphia team. He was transferred to second base in 1898, and has played that position ever since, with the exception of oc- seoassona1 xwniz9a at---nZst. third : and

FRANK KRAMER QUIT
 OF CYCLING CAMEL
Champion Rider Breaks Arm And Can't Race This
 Season

Frank L.. Kramer, champion pro- fessional cyclist of America since 1901, will be out of competition for the balance of the year, as his arm was broken yesterday. The accident oc- cured in front of his home, No. 65 North Maple street, East Orange, N.J., while he was cranking his auton1o- bile. Last year, when the world 8 championship was run at the Newark Velodrome, Kramer won the profes- sionaI title.
 Kramer leads at present in the table of points for the 1913 American professional title and is not likely to be displaced. The championship races, according to the National Cycling As soctadon rules, must not be run after October 1. Kramer has 49 points; AL fred Goullet, who is second, has 33 points, and A. J. Clarke has 30 points.
 As five points go to the winner in 8 title race, it would be necessary for either GouIlet or Clarke to win four races to overcome Kraner's lead. Gou11et and Clarke are Australians, but Clarke has declared his intention of becoming an American citizen and has taken out his first papers.
