WHY YoUNc PLAYERS FAIL.

THE greatest enemy of the young ball
 player is nervousness Many a ycungster of promise coming up from the minors ruins his chances by "aero- blaming when he finds himself lined up against players of experience.
 The best way for a player to succeed Is to try to forget that be is up in the big show and put, his whole mind on the ball game. If he can fail to see the huge stands and the big crowd and just rem ember that he is playing a game of ball and trying to do his part toward winning it he will surely sue ceed if he has the ability. The player who is doing everything to win is the fad who catches the managers eye.

JUST what Charley horse'' is lots
 of people do not know. nor why its name, save it is known it causes ath- letes woe. It is knotted muscle in the leg of an athlete. especially one who chases flies and is active on his feet. Sometimes it stays but brief time; again it's there for weeks. It makes the athlete suffer, and relief he often seeks. The trainer rubs the horse each day with liniment quite hot, but often it has no effect upon the peslzy knot.

HAIR from the blighting frosts of his native cline, Steve Natuck, who says he is one of the most famous wrestlers Alaska ever produced, is in New York eager and ready to meet any or all of the best wrest1ers in this land. Although he is but four feet and nine inches in height, weighing but 109 pounds, the young Eskimo. born in Point Barrow, Alaska, twenty-seven years ago, is a marvel of strength and agility.
 Never having had the least scientific instruction in the art of wrestling, Ma tuck says he has pinned to the floor the shoulders of many well known wrestlers. Besides the general run of holds employed by ordinary wrestlers, Natuck says he has many peculiar to his people, derived from the necessi- ties of encountering wild animals while without weapons.
