OF A SPORTING NATURE

| as driving power is concerned, that | is known to baseball.
 I've been handling athletes of one kind and another for over twer | ty-five years" continued Tuthill. "l was with some of the greatest 1 fighters the ring has ever known | including Jim Corbett, George Me l Fadden. boy who never got all | the credit he was entitled to; Young Corbett, and scores of others. 1 was with the Giants for four years during which the club had some of | it's greatest ball players, and Iv.; seen all kinds of football players, good bad, and indifferent: but never saw man following an ath- letic pursuit that 1 consider in Sam s class for constant physical efliciea, cy"
 Tn the eight years I've been with the Tigers, I don't believe I've used spoonful of alcohol on sam. He is always fit. He lives by the clock. He Is invariably in bed at an early hour. and up early. He knows what to eat and when to eat it, and l don't suppose hc knows what any form of dissipation means As a result he is today as valuable a player as there is in the game, even though he is in the if teenth year of his big league sa-' vice.
 You know" said Harry, thought fully, you ant really train a ball one fixed event, like a fighter, but for a campaign that lasts over siE months. Therefore, if you give him course of training such as a boxer or a football player undergoes he would be physically stale. You car- not make him follow out any partlc'l- lar lines of diet during the playing season, and work he does in an or dinary game is sufficient to keep hiG in proper trim.
 "Of course, there are lot Of things that ball player should not do during the playing season; the things that are bound to hurt him physically; but net dcing these things is a matter that is up to the bal player himself If he wants to keep in condition he can do it; if ne doesn't want to, no amount Of training will benefit him.
 Crawford is man who looks after himself, and the result is shown in his long career of useful ness. His eye is as clear as q boys. He can drive a ball farthe.' than any man in the game. John J. McGraw, or any of the other men who took the trip around the world will tell you that during one of the games in Oklahoma on their way to the coast, Crawford made a drive that probably stands as the worlds record in any kind of ball game.
 "Ty Cobb is fellow who re Quires a little more attention from a trainer than Crawford, but usu ally his calls on me are due to in jury received in base running. Ty Is such a desperate base traveller that he often acquires 'sliders,' or sores along the hips and legs from hitting the ground He may have one of these sores as big as your hand, but that never stops him from reopening it on his next slide. I suppose he is the most scarred-u.) man in baseball
 Crawford is now around thirty five years of age" concluded the trainer His legs are in good con dition and his eye is unimpaired SO l should say he will be good for big league service for from five to ten years longer. I think he will surely go as long as Wagner or Lajoie.
 Beginning in 19O1 he has hit above 300 for ten years, and will probably make it eleven this year. He missed that mark in 1904, 1905 and 1906- three years Tn a row-then he came back and slugsed well above it the next three years dropping behind in 1910, and coming on again strong the next four.
 And, mark you, in eight of these years l have never known him to 'ecuire the services of a trainer for a sore muscle, or anything of that nature. He's in physical class by himself, is Sam Crawford the old Wahoo Walloper"
