many newspapers do this, but we
cannot, for it is not a good business

TABER HANDS OUT
 VALUABLE ADVICE

NORMAN TABER, the former Oxford university runner. who classified himself with the worlds greatest ath- letes when he recently ran a mile in 4 minutes 12 3-5 seconds, dispIacing. the old professional as well as the anna teur record for the distance, deals out some valuable advice relative to train ing in a recent article:
 If we would make success of any thing in life Concentration and stick to-it-iveness are necessary. The man of business will not expand unless he devotes his time to it. It is, the same thing with the professional man.
 ~As it is with business and profes- sions. so it is with athletics and all sports. For myself. doubt if Icould have gained my ambition of breaking the worlds record for the mile had I not devoted considerable time to my training However, training is not only a necessity for competition. but it brings health. Most forms of athletics are good for the constitution. but to be a mile runner one must realize that he cannot go out on track and run the distance without some preparation.
 My ideas of training might differ from those of most other men, but I have followed course that was work ed out by Ed O'Connor, the Brown uni- versity trainer, and it is to his efforts that attribute my success.'

NED EGAN TELLS OF PRIZE BONE PI AN

kP
 A CCORDING to Ned IEgan, the Con
 nie Mack of the Minors more bonehead plays are made in Class c and D leagues in week than you see in the big leagues in a season. Egan describes a play made in the Central association that kept the circuit amused for several days.
 Waterloo was playing at Muscatine, and WetzelI Muscattre's right fielder, was at first base. with Sours of the same team at bat Sours gave the hit and run signal, and Wetzeu started down for second base as soon as the pitcher began to wind up. Sours hit long fly Just as he reached second base WetzeH thought he saw Hill. Wa terloo's left fielder. reaching up to catch the ball.
 Without waiting to see whether the fielder made the catch, WetzeH raced back to first base. Meantirne the ball had scared high over Bills head, and Sours turned first base and raced for second Wetzell passed him at full speed, going in the opposite direction.
 When Sours reached second he thought that he had made a mistake about seeing the ball fall safe and started back to first. Simultaneously Wetzell saw him chasing the sphere, and he again began the dash for sec ond, and once more both players pass ed each other on the dead run, both badly confused. The result was that a hit that should have been good for a triple and a score went for a double.

SOME STAR DROP KICKERS DEVELOPED THIS

1 the well known Brick1ey brand of shoes Not only these kicking marvel0, bGTt many others, are entirely capable oi standing in midf1eld and scoring viz the field goal route. "A Princeton drop kicker vvFose marvellous efficiency can only be lits. ened to that of the great Poe'' is the characterization some one gives of TIb- bolt.
 Poe at his best would have had just about as good a chance trying to kick field goals against the younger Tibbott as the old battlesh1p Maine would have in action against our newest dread naught It is true that Poe, on a short kick-hfteen yards-won one great game for Princeton against Yale. The average range and accuracy would be just about in this proportion.
 Drop kicking is one of the depart ments of football in which there is no possible argument for the contention @they may be good, but not so good ag the real old timers" The legislation from year to year on the rules furnishes conclusive proof that the greatest de- velopment in. this sphere of play has been in the past dozen years or so. Of course there were unexcelled kiclkers like Frank Hudson of Carlisle, Pat O'Dea of Wisconsin and Alex Mofca4 of Princeton in the years which went be- fore. but kickers were considered gifts of fate then. While gentuses of this caliber are still rare; there are scores of kickers in a single season whos haV6 the odds in their favor any pIaco in~ side the enemy's forty yard hne. The reduction in the value Of the field goal and the increase in the value of touchdown have had a sweeping effect on the generalship of the game. You can note 1t in the tactics used by teams from which you can count or headworl1.
 H. there is reason to believe that Harvard had hoped to defeat the 1thacans at the point of Mahan's accurate toe. The crimson attack was certainly powerful enough to get past nidheid, and by taking no chances and resorting to the kicking game Haughton had every req son to believe that Mahan could garner couple of field goals Unfortunately. from the Cambridge standpoint. tho tumble by Mahan right after the kick of put Cornell deep in crimson, terri tory, an opportunity which the Ithas- cans promptly converted into seven points.
 Three field goals needed to take the lead from Cornell
 The proposition didn't offer oven a gambling chance fin Haughton's opin- ion. as is proved by the fact that Ma han did not try one drop kick during the game. Touchdowns were the only tallies by which Harvard could be pull ed out of the slough of defeat. and Cor nell was too good to be beaten down by the weight of the Haughton attack In fact, the visitors had the best of the argument at nearly all stages and Itcnnched the argument for keeps when fShfverick, standing on his thirty eight yard line. kicked his neld goal in t1s fourth quarter.
 The team which rejects a possible touchdown and accepts a field goal be- fore exhausting the possibilities of att tack may find the other side iA the lead through a later exercise of a similar opportunityt The argument should show the working out of one of tho prettiest football problems of recent years.

HITTING THE FIRST BALL IS
 BAD POLICY FOR ANY TEAM

"A GOOD many fans get sore when

An Che fan sses $ that good bah slid. ing over the plate for a strike and he regrets what he considers lost .op- portunity for a. base hit
 But any good baseball man will tell you that a team of first ball hitters is the easiest kind Of team to beat Let g pitcher once know that the policy Of the opposing club is to wanop away at that frst ball and, he considers that he has a pretty easy day of it ahead Of him The policy Of waiting them out Is much more sure of being successful in the course Of a nine inning game
 It may be astonishing to some reoters to realize 1t. but a man who strikes out in the hrst inning may be doing as much to help lis team along as a man who makesE hit with two men out by swiplng away at the first bah pitched Nothing worries d pitcher who has a slight tendency to wildness so much as knowing that he Is going to have to get three good balls over the plate in order to get his man In these days of close scores and hard fought games a pitcher hassto s.put sornefhIn, on every ball he sends up.
 That means that he cannot loaf or rest up at any time unless his team has secured big lead early hi the con- test. When you consider the average number of balls pitched In a nine inn ing game is about 1z5 you can see what 6 strain a pitcher Is subjected to in a close combat. It Is not a mere case of throwing 125 balls over the plate. ss

ROGER THOUGHT HE WAs 7
 RI1cHER.


 JUST eighteen years ago a kid pitch CT who answered the name of Roger Bresnahan made his big league debut in a Washingkon anlforSn, the Capital City being at that tlrae represented in the old twelve club National circuit. Al that time Roger was stiil on the sunny side Of twenty-uns. The future leader of the Cardinals and the Cubs had been playing with Lima. O.. when his pitch ing attracted the attention of the major league scouts. During the remainder of the 1897 season Roger twtrled in seven games and lost only one. He had world of speed. but didn't make very big hit with the fans. who dubbed him 'sHorseshoe."
 Roger didn't last long as box artist and when Washington released him he was considered Just another --A--- -- the pam and nobody expected to hear any more Of htrn-that is. nobody but Roger He began playing in the in- field and outffeld. with an occasional turn behind 4he bat and when John McGraw took charge of the Baltimore team of the American league in 1901 he made Roger his regular catcher. Tn 1902 he was sent to the<third bag. and when McGraw went to the Giants that year he took Roger with him For some time Bresnahan played mostly in the outer gardens. and it was not until 1905 that be began to make

 Fortunately for the enjoyment Of spectators this season is the fact that two goals from the field do not total up to the value of a touchdown. otherwise competition would resolve itself into a drop kicking duel with both teams con- tent to stay in the middle of the field and such men as Tibbott and Mahan deciding the issue. each wearing one of
