Charlottesville, Va, March Minus
Walter Johnson and Chick Gandil the
main squad of the Washington base
ball club pulled into training camp
this afternoon. joining the recruit
pitchers and other battery candidates
who have been on the job for one
week
According 10 Manager Grif1th, there
is no particular significance in the nom
appearance of Johnson. The very idea
of Walter changing his mind and do
ing a flip-flop back to the Feds is
scoffed at by the Old Fox.
" happen to know that johnson
left his home in Coffeyville last
week bound for Washington. He
will more than likely come direct
to Charlottesville now, and I ex-
pect to see him tomorrow unless.
of course, he Is sick" said Grin.
Clyde Milan, who is Johnson'S pal
and who has been in correspondence
with the great pitcher all winter,
vouchsafed the information that Wal
ters wife was not in the best OF
health, and thinks the delay may have
been caused on her account.
Chick Gandil is suffering from a mild
attack of the grip and has been ordered
to stay home for a day or two by his
physician
The trip from Washington this morning
was uneventful with one exception. A

Philadelphia March 6-At the close OF
the Poughkeepsie and New London re-
gattas this year the college world will
have at its disposal the most complete
set of vital statistics ever collected con-
corning rowing and its effect upon the
heart and other organs The announce
ment that Yale has decided to make a
physical examination of every member
of the rowing squad brings the last of the
big universities into the agreement to
help collect these statistics. The other
universities which will do ii are Penn
sylvania. Cornell, Columbia. Harvard.
and Syracuse.
The University OF Pennsylvania was
the pioneer in the effort to find out just
what effect rowing has on a students
heart. When the criticism became so
acute against the alleged evil effects OF
the four-mile race. the Pennsylvania au
thorities decided to put il to test.
This was in addition to their decision to
have the leading oarsmen vaccinated
against typhoid fever.
AS soon as the Pennsylvania oarsmen
reported for indoor practice DR.. r. TAFT
Mckenzie. the physical director. took the
leading varsity men and made the most
careful examination Of the heart and
other vital organs. in particular chartinS
the size Of the heart. In a short time
and the examinations will be repeated
from time to time as the season pro-
crosses. most of the examinations being
made after important races.
Different physical directors will use
slightly different methods to determine
the effect OF rowing. The Yale plan is
to take photographs to detect enlarge
ment Of the heart. Hypertrophy, or en-
largement of the heart, is what all the
Iltrt fn,1. liz
expect to find that rowing will produce
the unfortunate results to the heart
feared in some quarters. This is because
of the great care taken by the athletic
authorities Of the big universities. Be
fore a man Is permitted to row or take
part in any other major sport he is
obliged to pass a physical examination
in which the heart Is particularly OK
amined. Should the heart prove defec-
tive or very weak the candidate Is not
permitted to take up competitive row.
ing. but Is obliged to take a prescribed
course OF exercise TO strengthen the
heart.
Even physicians are divided on the
effect of strenuous athletics upon the
heart All are agreed that competition
In rowing and track does enlarge the
heart. but m-n like Or. Mckenzie insist
that this need not be detrimental to
mans health. particularly If he keeps up
some form of exercise after his days Of
competition are over. DR.. Mckenzie in
sists that the heart is an automatic
organ. which. II properly trained, re-
spends to any strain put upon it with
on: danger of injury.
The late Mike Murphy. who was Amer
icas greatest trainer. made a series Of

of the leading physicians OF this city.
They first took an unframed athlete

in fast time, making the same investiga-
ton. They found that there was hardly
any dilation at ALL
From these and other experiments they
concluded that vigorous exercise taken in
moderation enlarges the heart appreci-
ably. but very gradually. and that there
is very pronounced and sudden dilation
when an unframed athlete is submitted
to severe strain. From that time on
Murphy simply laughed at stories of the
athletic heart"
What these Investigations. Conduotcd

are likely to show is that the average
college man can train for a three or
twO-mile race more easily than for the
four-mle event. This is because of the
belief that a four-mile race requires a
man older than the average college man
and for several years of preliminary
training which most college men do not
get in a preparatory school.

GALLABDEI LEADS.
OPPOSING TEAMS.
Kendall Greeners Have Sue
cessful Season, Despite
List of Defeats.
PASSING GAME IS GOOD
Coach Haas Team Has Big Ad-
vantage Over Opponents in
Points Scored.

The Gallaudet basketball team end
ed its season with their Northern
trip on which they made very ex-
cellent showing. The season, although
not successful. in the number Of games
won. was mighty successful in the
article of basketball played by the
team and the showing that they made
against all of their opponents.
The team the past season was fear
ed by every one of the teams against
whom they were pitted. IL was not
a question as to how badly they could
defeat the Kendall Greeners. but their
opponents were made to plan before
and during the contests. as TO just
how they could defeat them.
The showing of the team was more
remarka BILE because of the fact that
they are handicapped while the game
is in progress, in not being able TO
talk 10 each other. Many games were
won by their opponents because OF the
fact that they could talk and tell each
other to look out for certain plays,
and men when they would get loose.
and have their teammates cover up.
The Kendall lads were considered
one of the best passing teams in the
District. an dtheir defensive playing
was a feature in every contest In
which they played.
From team of second raters they
became one that has been classed
among the very best of the college
quints.
The team was handicapped at the
start of the season from the fact that
after the football season closed every
student was vaccinated and a few
members of the squad were vaccinated
twice. Another very serious handicap
was an injury that Rockwell received
in football. having had his ankle bad
ly sprained. This injury 10 one of the
stars of the team was indeed a mis-
fortune which lasted throughout the
entire season. In every game i'll which
Rockwell participated he was never
able 10 extend himself. and in several
of the most important contests ne
either had to retire or stay out of the
game entirely.
The team lost seven games and won
six. Only one game was lost at home.
that to Catholic University in the first
game of the season. The team scored
i56 points 10 their opponents 3.3. Two
games were lost in an extra period.
TWO were lost by only four points and
one by two points. The record of the
games played is as follows:

Last season Catholic University,
George Washington University and
Mount st. Mary's College defeated
Gallaudet on the formers floor by
very large scores. while this season
the Kendall Grceners came within a
few points of winning each Of these
contests.
Classen was injured in a practice
game and did not play in the last
eight contests. This was a great loss
TO the team a. the big guard was de-
veloping into one of the best back
field men In the South. Keely was
shifted to this position after Clas-
sens injury and proved very capable.
Melles only played in two full games.
and Foltz only played in part of the
contests in which he appeared.
The playing of Rockwell and Arthur
Wenger was particularly brilliant
throughout the season. Wenger was
substitute until the middle of jan
uary. when by his wonderful work he
became a regular. Both of these boys
are stars and should be considered
when a selection is made for the ALL
Southern team. The following Is

New York, March III Willie Richie
is as good a prognosticator as he is
fighter, then we shall! have a new-or an
old-world's lightweight champion next
Thursday evening. Take it from this
Willie Richie person that Freddie Welsh
will no longer hold the donineering hand
in the 133-pound division after their meet
ing at the GardS on March II.
Richie is in hopes Of enulating the
late Iamented STANLEY Ketchel who. after
reIinquishing his middle-weight title TO
Billy Papke. retrieved it in their next
battle. 1t will be recalled that Richie.
up to July Z last. was the proud pos
SCISSOR of the lightweight championship.
He evidently did not care much for the
diadem, however for he permitted MINI
self to be enticed to the other side and
''jobbed' of the title. as Richie himself
expressed it The peculiar part OF it all
is that it took Richie nearly a year TO
convince himself that he was the victim
of a well-engineered plot.
Whether or not Richie was "iobbed"
Is not for US to say but we will say that
It was his uncurbed passion for an addi-
1ionsl few thousand dollars that cost him
the title. He voluntarily went 10 Lon
don, knowing that he might he ''jobhed.'
but was willing to take chance in or
der to enhance his bankroll
Ritchie's hue and cry came somewhat
lstc. and II will avail him nothing, eN-
ccpt to set him in disfavor with people
who are now friendly toward him Then
again. Eitchie may have emitted the
"jobbinG" squavk in order 70 attract
attention to his forthcoming bout with
this same Welsh.
But the fact remains that Richie is 20
get another chance a his title. the
chance he has been imD!orinS Welsh TO
give him ever since that fateful day
last July. Now il is up TO Richie 10
make good.
1t may be said for F.tchie that he con-
fidentlv expects 10 make good to the
extent OF knocking out Welsh. thus re-
gaining his championship. Willie IS so
aIl-fired sure that he is going to make
Welsh bore his head into the canvas next
