M0STATHLETEST TRAIN ON BEEF;
DID BRICKLEY GET SICK FROM IT?
Physician Claims Harvard Stars Appendicitis Was
Caused by Beef Diet Fred Clarke, Pittsburgs
Manager, Signs Up Again Despite the An
nouncement That He Was Through
With the Game.

Jerry on the Job

Many theories have been rendered
on many subjects during and since the
past football season. Some of them
have been very logical while others
have been extremely fantastic. The
latest outburst comes from d.. W. A.
Edmunds, health officer of Orange
county, n. J Dr. Edmunds comes
through with the remarkable statement
that Brickley's attack Of appendicitis
was due to too much meat, particularly
beef, in the Harvard training camp.
Far be il from us to question a physi-
clan on anything pertaining to his pro-
fession, but one cannot refrain from
suggesting that the learned doctor in
vestigate athletic records and training
methods particularly in regard to diet
Tor the past 20 years. During that time
there has been only one prominent
athlete who is a strict vegetarian. He
IS Hannes kOlehmainen. the flying
Finn, who has broken numerous records
Tor distance running during the three
years he has been in this country. As
far as is known Brickley is the first
man in actual training to suffer from
appendicitis. Yet it is a known fact
that beef Is the principal item on the
menu Of any training table
Coaches and trainers long ago rec
ognized the fact that beef is by far
the best food to build up sinew. Prob
ably the finest trained men in any
branch Of athletics are the track men.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-12-22

And taking them in any branch Of track
work it is found that almost without
exception they are meat eaters. There
are Minds Lippincot, Guyn, Henry,
Bernie Wefers, the South African,
Walker, Rice, Archie Hahn and many
others in the sprints. In the low hur-
dies there is the wonderful little Alvin
Kranzelein who took the sticks with
his legs crossed, a form which all track
men declare TO be wrong. Kranzelein
got away with it, though. because he
was an athletic marvel Then there is
Dan Kelly, a Washington boy, who is
credited with two worlds records nine
ana three-fifths in the century and 21
and One-fifth in the 220.
In the jumps are the EVERY brothers
who have held sway IN all standing
jumps for years, Baxter, Beeson and
HORNE in the running high jump, and
O'COnnOr, KranZelein and Myer Prin-
stein in the running broad jump. In
the pole vault are Gilbert, Dray, Mel
son and Wright. In the high hurdles
are Shaw, Edwards, Harry Hillman
and Gilbert the OregOnian. In the
weight throwing are Pat Mcdonald,
John Mccarthy, Ralph Rose, Martin
Sheriden and Jimmy Duncan. In the
quarter mile is MaXey Long who holds
the quarter mile record both on the
straightaway and circular tracks. At
the half are Melvin Sheppard and Ted
Meredith. In the mile are Abel Kivist
and Grant In the longer distances are
George BOnhag. the indian Tewanima,
Thomas John Paul Jones, Tommy Con-
neff and many others in the same class.

Billy Evans $ Puzzle Plays
Especially This Paper the Famous American League Umpire

had been declared safe at the plate the
manager of the team in the field made
a vigorous protest He cOntended that
the batsman had interfered with the
play when the ball struck his bat that
the umpire should declare the batter
out, and send the runners back to their
original places at second and third
The manager Of the team at bat was
just as insistent that the run be al
lowed and the other runners hold the
positions they then occupied. He
claimed that the catcher had been Of
fered a chance to complete the play
when the ball struck his hands The
fact that he had not accepted the
chance, that the ball had bounded out
and struck the batter's bat, was no
that it was wrong to call an interfer-
ence play, and penalize the batsman,
when the catcher was at fault. He cited
how a fielder was out If he came into
contact with a ball before any one had
a chance to make play on it, but, af-
ter a chance had been offered the field
er to make the play, the runner was
not penalized, the ball being in play.
He insisted that the two cases were
similar
Umpire Reversed Himself.
The umpire in charge reversed him
self, allowed the interference, and sent
the runners back. I know some UNI
pires who agree with him and I know
others who don't. What do you think
about it, now that you have had both

? EW YORK Dec. 22.-Here are a
M few words from Jimmy Gilmore,
- president of the Federal league:
Ct feel that peace would be for the best
interests of the game, and believe the
public wants peace. We are willing to
go half-way-bUt no farther. And when
peace comes you can be assured that it
will be at terms that are favorable to
the Federal league-at terms that will
maintain the Federal league as a sep
arate major league organization
Guy Shanks, the Washington out
fielder, reminds one very much Of the
Federal league. He was pronounced on
the edge OF the grave, but he performed
a come back"
Back in 1910 Shanks went to a med
icaI gent who hammered Shanl1s's
chest, shook his head sorrOwful like,
and said:
MY boy. prepare for the finish. You
have no more than a couple of weeks
to live"
The baseball season had just ended.
Shanks, at that time, was playing for
the East Liverpool, Ohio team. Shanks
beat it over to 8Ionacaa, Pa, just across
the river from East Liverpool. For
some reason he chose to die there.
The examination Of Shanks was made
at the solicitation of the Pittsburg

club, which thought lot Of Shanks's
skill but was skeptical about his
health When the doctors report was
submitted. the Pirates, Of course, gave
up all thoughts of sharing Shanks-
Shanks went over to that Pennsylva-
MIA town prepared to die. Early in the
spring Bill Phillips, manager Of the
East Liverpool team, nearly collapsed
when he got a letter from Shanks ask
ing when and where he should report
for spring training.
When Phillips recovered his equilib-
rum he wrote Shanks to report at
once. Shanks did-lOoking huskier
and stronger than ever.
Either that doc didn't know his
business or MOnacaa is some health re-
sort" said Shanks.
Shanks had good season in 1911
with East Liverpool, went to YOungs-
town, Ohio, in 1913 and graduated
from the minors the next season, going
to Washington, where he has been
since.
Shanks wasn't the only star that
the Pirates have passed up. Barney
Dreyfuss, owner of the Pirates, had a
chance to sign Iris Speaker, the won

was in the minors. The deal was all

4 y in the east last year which. at
the time, was the cause of a great deal
of discussion. While an unusual play,
it is one that is liable to happen in any
game from amateurs to the big leagues.
Several angles enter into the play that
afford argument for those who side
with the ruling made by the umpire,
as well as those who differ with the
officials ruling
With runners on second and third
and two down, the batter worked the
pitcher until the count stood two balls
and two strikes. The next ball pitched
was trifle high and on the inside. The
batter took a healthy swing, but missed
by narrow margin. The ball struck
fairly in the catcher's glove, but
bounded out, and as luck would have 1t,
struck the batters bat and rolled a dis
lance of perhaps 10 feet. The runner
on third dashed for home, while the
batter raced to first. 1t looked like
foolish risk for the runner on third to
take, for the catcher had the ball wait
ing for him as he slid into the plate.
Perhaps there would not have been
any kick had not the catcher dropped
the ball after touching the runner,
forcing the umpire to declare the run
