THEY'RE IMPOSTERS
WARNING ISSUED AGAINST DEAF
AND DUMB BEGGARS.

Edward p Olson in Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader: The deaf of this
state would like TO warn their hear
ing friends about impostors who pre-
tend to be deaf and dumb and ask
gifts of money to enable them to go
to some school for the deaf to get an
education or for some other pur-
pose. In most cases such beggars are
impostors. Many of them are able
bodied and can earn a living at hon.
est labor. These impostors find the
deaf and dumb game an easy way of
making living. We can positively
say that very few of the deaf beg.
The real deaf mutes, most of whom
have been educated in state schools,
are self supporting and useful mem
bers of the community in which they
may live.
Therefore, when you are approach
ed by a person claiming to be deaf
and dumb and soliciting a money Of
fering. refuse to give him anything
Better still call the police and have
him arrested as a vagrant.
/ 1t often happens that the deaf and
dumb beggar turns out to be a regu-
lar crook who adopts this method OF
house to house begging with view
to finding opportunities for thieving
Never give anything to such beggars
. whether you think he is real deaf
mute or not If he is "a real deaf
mute he has no excuse for begging
The deaf. loSk after their kind and ii
he is deserving he will secure aid
from his acquaintances in the silen,
world.
The deaf are anxious for the pub
lie to understand their true status in
society, for the average hearing per-
son does not often see the deaf and
consequently has very vague idea
as to who and what the deaf are The
deaf are little different from other
people. The only difference is that
they cannot hear.
! The National Association of the
Deaf is conducting a vigorous cam.
paign against the deaf impostors

avenue. has been designated by that
association as its special representa-.

The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-04-28
BY Martin j. 8. Mcdonald.


Ted Meredith, worlds middle-dis-
lance champion, now a student at the
University of Pennsylvania, stands a
head above the best athletes in the
world when II comes to endurance
He may be designated as the iron
man of the cinderpath. If it were
scientifically possible to determine
, Ted's wonderful powers of endurance,
the searchers no doubt would be sur
prised. He has a most remarkable
physical endowment. There is not a
man in the world, it is believed, who
can hold candle to Americas won
derful middle distance runner. Ted's
strength borders on the supernuman.
Did you see him at the 1912 Penn
sylvania carnival go through his 440-
yard stunt for Mercersurg Academy
in As i-5 seconds? Maye, unless you
were a track and field expert, you did
not pay much heed to the cleverness
of that performance. To critics who
saw that race establishment was
, theirs. Ted started off with a sprint
! and not once did he slacken that ter
| rife pace until he breasted the tape.
Did he collapse? He certainly did not
| and for one who had been through
such grualing contest his recupera-
tive powers were wonderful. II you
did not pay much attention to the
glowing stories OF the press immedt-
ately following his sensational run on
Franklin Field, you were forced to
know him by his brilliant 1912 Olym-
pic performances, when he won the
SOO-metre run. In that race at Stock
holm he continued on to the half, es-
tablishing new worlds records for the
two official distances, 1:51:9 and
1:521a, respectively. AS though this
was not enough, Ted won his way to
the finals in the 400-metre run and
was fourth in close brush with Reid
path, America; Braun, Germany, and
Lindberg, U. S. A. In the seminal
heat Ted trotted to the wire in 4S:S.
In these worlds championship events
he proved his tremendous powers.
Ted Runs a Great Quarter.
At the intercollegiate champion
ships last year Meredith ran one of
the best fields of quarter-milers ever
gathered in America. In his heat he
was content to lope along. Jansen, of
Michigan, taking the trial in so 1-5.
In the final 1t was different, and when
he started no man living could have
held him safely. The time here was
As 20, the next fastest quarter Ted
ever travelled. Just to show his great
capacity for punishment, Ted answer
ed the clerks call for the half-mile.
How he raced here will ever be re-
membered by those who witnessed the
race. 1t was not generally believed
Ted would be able to stand the strain
after his hard quarters, for fresh
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-04-28
Meredith Track Champion
Has Wonderful Endurance

men were against him here. He sur
prised his stanchest admirers. AT the
first quarter he was at Browns heels.
The Yale man was running like a
fiend, with Caldwell, the ultimate win
ner, pocketed. NJ. S. Hayes, Prince
ton, was running a 1t off the pole at
Meredith's shoulders. and just behind
the pocket came Capper, OF Harvard,
and the colored runner, Granger, OF
Dartmouth. Ted held them all safe
until the final sprint. Then It was dis
covered that even Meredith was hui
man. He finished third, and his dis
lance was not far behind the winner,
Caldwell, who was forced to smash
all existing half-mile intercollegiate
records. The winner was clicked in
l minute 53 2-5 seconds. Brown, who
hal led nearly all the way, was second,
while Capper and Hayes were the
next in order after Meredith.
1t is typical of Ted that he doesn't
know just how fast he can go. for
he is seldom distressed At the Cana.
dian games last year he was credited
with 47:4 quarter, and it is the be-
lief of thousands in America that the
long-existing record of AZ seconds
fiat, made by Maxey Long. on the
Gutenberg race track, New York city,
will go flying when Ted makes try
OF it on the 440-straightaway at the
Panama Exposition championships,
San Francisco, in August.
AS final evidence of Teds un-
known strength 1t Is but necessary to
call attention to his performances at
the Meadowbrook games here this
winter. There he ran three wonderful
races within period of 80 minutes
One OF the quarters was 40 AS, that
in the intercity race against Boston.
He beat Dave Caldwell in the special
500 and was clicked in 81 seconds in
the Penn-Cornell relay.
Ted ran a remarkable half at the
indoor track and field games of the
Johns Hopkins University-Fifth Reg.
iment Athletic Association this year,
forgin ghis way to the front in the
handicap after a most trying run.
Ted, of course, was scratch and ran
the entire distance on the outside of
the field in order to make Roadway.
1t is estimated he ran close to $50
yards. The time for this event was
not remarkable. but he demonstrated
to thousands what he could do when
the occasion demanded
Ted's wonderful successes have not
turned his head, and he is unquestion-
ably one of the most popular Ameri-
can athletes.
He is ever willing to tell aspiring
youngsters how to be successful. and
as result has made a host of friends.
In this respect he is very much like
his obliging college mate, Mike Dori-
as, the strongest man who has ever

Baker at the CopIey Square Hotel. He
also made it clear that Baker, il play
ing with the Upland team of the Del
aware County League last Saturday,
had offended him to the quick. He
even charged that Baker had not play
ed fairly with him.
Here is what Mack said quoted YER

Through With Baker.
I'm through with Frank Baker as
ball player. He will never appear
again in an Athletic suit as long as I
am connected with the club. And it is
my intention at the present time not
to allow Baker to become the proper
ty of any other team in the American
League. l would not sell him for ST.
100000 in cash, after playing with Up
land as he did last Saturday after
noon.

sonally, but as a matter OF principle.
I have decided that he will never play
on my team. We talked the matter
over. He even came to see me about
it. He decided not to report. Now
it's over, and he can't report.
With Baker in our lineup we'd be
fighting for the pennant. and would be
as likely a winer as any team. With
out him we are not a pennant team,
unless we are fortunate enough to Sc
cure or develop first-class hard-htt-
ting third baseman in very short or
der. and unless our young pitchers
live up to expectations.
II am convinced that the present
standard of salaries in baseball is too
high. Some one must make a sacri-
fee. Someone must set an example
or the business end of the game will
suffer even worse than it has already.
! am prepared to make that sacrifice.
| am not saying that I am the best
equipped to make a step, but it must
be made. and the Baker case furnish
ed the opportunity"
