f, ger I'll let you be the judge. I say

right?"
without waiting for an answer the
stranger picked up the two tenners and
walked away. smiling at the dazed
I Clabby.
The suggestion that the world series
rules be so amended that al players IN
both leagues get divvy of the pro-
ceeds is entirely out of order. The
suggestion is absurd. The only players
who deserve to share in the receipts
are the players who have assisted in
winning the pennants. To give the
other players share would be just
about the same as sharing raise IN
pay which YOU got with all the other
fellows in your shop.
The players who win the pennants
are the fellows who are out on the
diamond hustling all the time. They
don't loaf. They are fighting and
playing every minute. They deserve
all they get and there isn't a reason
why they should split the extra money
with a lot of players who don't care
whether they win a ball game or lose
one.
Johnny Dundee, the New York light
weight, lays claim to the distinction Of
the 1914 season. Dundee mingled in "a
battles during the year-an average OF
two scraps a month. Even Battling
Levinsky, the heavyweight war horse,
didn't fight as often as that.
Four Of Dundee's battles were. 20
round affairs. Another stretched
along until the 18th round, while the
others were 10 and u round mills.
One Of the athletic marvels Of the
present day is Jesse Carey, who at the
age of 43, ranks as one of the best
roller skaters in the world. Carey has
been skating for more than 20 years
and he seems to be Just about as good
today as he was when in the prime OF
his youth.
One Of .Carey's most remarkable per-
fOrmances was that in Paris IN 1910,
when he covered $50 miles during "A
hours He-skated continuously, never
leaving the track for minute during
the entire "a hours. other contest
ants, much younger than Carey, were
forced to take frequent rests, and the
result was that Carey finished many
miles ahead of his nearest competitor
In Brussels. Carey defeated nearly so
contestants in an unlimited race. He
skated 43 miles without a stop and by
that time every other man in the race
had been forced off the track
Carey holds every European and roller
skating record from one mile up to "A
hours.
Carey mingled in the recent "a hour
roller skating contest in New York and
at the finish was fresher than any Of
the youths who were able to stand the
grind. Carey's partner lost lap dur
ing the last hour of the race, and it
was this loss that lost to Carey the
chance to take part in the great sprint
during the last hour of the grind. As
it was, Carey's team finished near the
top and grabbed off nice slice Of
money.
Carey was born in Pittston, Pa. He
is just a trifle over five feet tall and
weighs only lis pounds.
A diet in which meat predominates
causes appendicitis, if you wish to
take the word Of DR.. Richard c. New
ton for it. DR.. Newton is president Of
the New Jersey board Of health. DR..
Newton says;
THE illness Of Charles Brickley, the
fullback, and the resultant Op-
Grafton for appendicitis, leads US to
again the question whether
the apparently undue prevalence Of ap-
pendicitis among football players may
not be due to an undue prepOnderance
of meat in their diet.
"A prominent trainer of football |
players asserted some years ago that /
for a time before the final and i'm |
pOrtant contest for which he was pre-
pairing a football team, he would forbid I
all use Of vegetables in the diet I re- /
member that at least one member of /
his team underwent an appendectOmy |
shSrtly after he had finished this /
course of training.
Nicholas Sem was told by the hos |
pital surgeons in Africa that they had |
never seen a case of appendicitis in a 1
egetable-eating African. This immu |
nifty from the disease is also alleged Of |
the BVahmins in India, who are strict /
vegetarians. DR.. J. z. kellogg told the |
writer that he had visited some relig- |
ious order or orders in Europe, COM 1
prising several thousand members, and /
that case Of appendicitis had never /
among them.
1.-THE idea that meat eating may
cause appendicitis is so prevalent that i
It would seem to have some founda- !
ton in fact" /
