BASE BALL SLIPPING BADLY
Still Will Be National Pastime, but
as a Commercial Proposition is
on Downward Trail.
OTHER SPORTS ARE CUTTING IN

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.--Base ball IL and
should always remain the national pas
time. 1t is too firmly entrenched In the
hearts of the youth OF the nation to be
supplanted by any other game. But base
ball as a commercial proposition has swept
to its crest and hit the downward train.
This fact is indisputable. The handwrit-
ing on the wall says so plainly and un-
mistakably.
| As a money making proposition, base
ball has passed its zenith for many
causes, the least OF which is the Federal
league. The present tangles of the game,
contract jumping, outlaw leagulng and
SO forth, will be unravelled in duo time.
B Whether the Federal league finally at
tains major league standing and dwolls
within the Organized Base Ball corral,
or Is cast into, the discard. matters very
little 10 the ultimate cause OF base ball.
The present storms will pass away and
all will be serene again. but as q money
making proposition the sport can never
be what it was a few years back,
Bfg Teams Will Draw.
Base ball men will make money. Cham
pionship teams will still draw the hordes
in In New York and Chicago nearly
any kind OF a team win pay expenses snc
a little better, but minor league clubs
and most OF the majors as well, viii
usually be fortunate 20 break even. The
reason for this chance Is not directly
connected with base ball at all.
1t is due primarily 10 the return tt
outdoor life OF the men and boys of the
big cities. IL is due 70 the growth Of
golf and tennis. and the reduction In the
price OF automobiles, motorcycles and
motor boats. II is not that general In
terest IN base ball has lessened. but thai
other games and pleasures, 20 which
there Is a more personal side. are call
ing a large portion Of fandom away from
the game
There are nearly 10000 golfers in thii
country today. II Is estimated that dur
ing 1914 at least 10000 were added TO TN
golf lists. There are approximately 1000
who play the game In and around New
York.

No Pooling by the
New York Race Men

NEW YORK. Jan. SO.-There Will be no
pooling OF interests by the several racing
associations in this locality the coming
season. as there was last year. The as
sociations which will hold meetings will
do so as individuals and open their own
tracks. When racing will begin and
where is question yet to- be decided,
but 1t is more than probable Belmont

TRAINING FOR GOLFER now
Ben and Gil Nichols Advocate Ad'
vanced Golf, Which Demands
Conditioning.
LIKE BOXER AND BALL PLAYER

NEW YORK, Jan. So.-Do not be sur.
prised friend gelfor II at no very distant
date you should hear some ardent devotes
declare his intention 90 go into training
for such and such championship or
tournament Heretofore the mere thought
OF a golfer training would have caused
smile. but In this advanced stage Of
the game there il no telling what TO ex-
pect.
For complete details on golf training a
conversation with those we'll known pro-
fessionals. Ben and GIL Nichols. should
suffice. These two Englishmen are keen
on what they termn advanced golf,''
which Is intended TO Keep one in form
and Improve his game, just as the rowing
machine helps the oarsman and the
punching bag the pugllist.
II has been discovered that a golfer
derives the power in his stroke from a
train OF extensor muscles on tho left
side. There ia no trapezius, also the
latissimuA and the teres major and the
extensor cRrpi uinsrus and so on and 81
forth. The Nichols brothers assert that
faults In golf are caused by weakness in
these muscles and therefore they have
set about TO strengthen them. And Il Is
by indoor work on machine that this
IL done.
No More Hat and Miss.
So It would seem that the ancient and
honorable game Is no longer going TO be
a hit and miss affair. so far as prepared
ness Is concerned. The golfer OF the TWEEN
tieth century must be conditioned for
that game, Just as the boxer learns how
TO hit fast hard and true by punching
| the bag
For many years the ball player has
had the cage where he could keep his
muscles In trim when the snow was on
the ground. The oarnman has had his
indoor rowing machines, the foot bali
star his drill in the gymnasium, and there
has been some sort OF indoor work for
all athletics. But the golfer has had
nothing OF the sort 10 keep him m trim.
The man who was q TRUE bug played
the game in all sorts OF weather, tits
true. He has been known 70 take q
round on tho links when the ground was
covered with snow. But that was nat
doing his muscles whole lot of good
IL was not tending to improve his golf
under good conditions.
