A TIM HURST STORY.

THE late Tim Hurst, famous as
baseball umpire and boxing referee,
was honest. fearless and witty. He was
wont to meet and overcome emergen-
cies with witticisms which made for
him friends everywhere.
His honesty as an athletic official was
unquestioned throughout his career.
and he was most strongly stirred when
ever a spectator at a ball game or box
ing contest inferred that a decision of
his was made for the purpose of bene-
filing one or the other of the con-
testants.
Perhaps no act of his more complete
ly illustrated his honesty and certain
ly no act made him more friends than
when, at a time early in his career as a
boxing referee, he oficiated in a bout
where his brother was one of the con-
testants. The bout went on evenly un-
til the very last round, when the man
opposing Hurst's brother secured a
slight lead over the latter. There
would not have been a murmur from
the crowd If he had called the bout
draw at its close, but Tim, without a
moments hesitation, stepped to the
corner of his brothers opponent and
raised his hand as the winner.

EXPERT BELIEVES PART BONUS AND STRAIGHT SYS(
FOR PLAYERS WILL BENEFIT BASEBALL IN GEL

A PART bonus and part straight SAL
airy system in the baseball players
contracts would do much to correct
some of the present salary injustices of
baseball
At the present time many magnates
are beWailing the fact that some of
their stars who are drawing fat SAL
aries under long term. ironclad con-
tracts, are not giving their best efforts.
while some of the young players who
are outbatting and outfielding the vet
tied to contracts that call for only one
half or one third of the salary that is
paid to the high priced shirkers.
This condition could be remedied for
all time by paying to each player a hx-
ed salary of a small amount each year
and putting a schedule of bonuses in
his contract which would enable him
to get paid for what he really is worth
One suggestion, concretely, is this:
Fix a standard salary for each play
er somewhere around $500 or $4,000
a year, which sum the player Is to get
no matter how his work shows up.
Then arrange a bonus SYSTEM that is
applicable to each branch of base
ballers. ..
In the case Of pitchers, a bonus Of
Sl,ooO could go to all pitchers finishing
the season with an average of 500 or
better. $1,000 bonus money to the men
winning so per cent of their games,
$4,000 bonus to the men winning two
thirds of their games, $4,000 bonus to
men winning three fourths Of their
games, $4,000 bonus to men finishing
with a mark above $50.
In this way a pitcher would get paid
for what he did during the present
season--not on his record of several
seasons, before. And in this way kid
pitcher would have as fair chance to
get big money as the veteran. All the
kid would need to do would be to win
games.
Pitchers could be given a small bo-
nus. for, batting and fielding above a
certain amount, but should. not. be al
lowed to figure in the general bonus of
other players for fielding and batting.
Outfelders, inf1elders and catchers
could be guaranteed $4,000 year and
would earn their bonuses by their field
ing and batting stunts. Here is sched-
ule~ Of bonuses that is suggested for

fort put forth in its accomplishment
To allow too long a rest period before
the final and deciding set can only be
! to favor the old campaigner. the great
general, as against her more active and
less seasoned antagonist.
In other words, to allow a period of
rest wherein the tired player could re-
cuperate would be doing a gross in
justice to the younger exponent who,
by her own untiring efforts, had gain
ed just this advantage and had to sit
around and see it vanish during the
seemingly interntnable time allowed
for the other player to get ready for
the critical set. If a player cannot win
in straight sets her condition is not
good enough to let her win in three;
then she must either get in better con-
dition or allow the younger and more
athletic player to reap the benefit of
her long training and perfect physical
condition.

TT seems probable that when the fnal
review of the season of the present
year of grace on the American lawn
tennis courts is compiled by the Off
cial historians it will be written down
as chiefly remarkable for the general
development Of great number OF
players.
Numbers are beginning to find the
exercise and excitement, the exhilara-
ton and the joys, of the fine direct
competition which the game affords
The Davis cup matches have proved OF
rare educational value. Many, hither-
to skeptical, have come to realize that
physical endurance of the highest type
is as much required in the sport of the
courts as on the football field, in the
varsity crew or in the boxing ring.
An instance Of what that physical
test means was illustrated some time
back on the courts of the Morristown
Field club, where Miss Molla Blur
stedt, the girl from Norway who has
held attention focused on her remark
able playing for several months, at last
yielded to the collapse of strained and
tired muscles. Miss Bjurstedt is no
weakling. it,.
Those who have seen her in. action
attest to that, and also the long line Of
opponents who haye met defeat at her
hands. The daughter of vikings SEEM
ed possessed Of constitution Of iron
and steel springs. Her vigor and
amazing vitality made her a star per-
former in any tournament, and every
club of any prominence eagerly sought
her entry or her ppearance in spe-
cial match.
The path Of the lawn tennis, "prima
donna" is not exactlyt sstrewn with
roses. 1t is the same way with the
men who have won laurels on the
courts. Pressure is brought to bear
from all directions to, secure the ap-
pearance of the staf- on various
courts : It is almost impossible. unless
actually engaged in another match, to
refuse. The physical strain is terrific
and at last the willing player snaps
under the miles Of footwork and the
dealing Of hammering blows with the
racket, just as Miss Bjurstedt has. The
paths to glory in lawn tennis lead to
exhaustion due to too much COMPETE
ton and an excess OF entertainment.
Miss Bjurstedt is no exception to the
rule. Maurice e. Mclaughlin, Miss
Sutton, Beals Wright at the height of
his career and others who have worn
the purple Of the courts have all ex-
perienced the. trials of. the physical de-
mands which the game makes upon
those who follow. it closely and who
rise to it's greatest heights.
AS the ever increasing numbers Of
players learn that real physical condi-
ton plays an important part in tennis,
that it will be severe test for' the
trained athlete, it has grown in favor.
One Of the things that has directly
handicapped the growth Of the game

Rowing Doesn't Give
OarSrnen Athletic He

DIR. ROGER I. LEE, professor of hy-
giene at Harvard. with Dr. e. l.
Young Jr, the surgeon to the Harvard
crews, and DR.. Wallace ]. Dodd. roent-
genologist. has undertaken a series OF
studies on Harvard graduate and I'M
dergraduate athletes in an effort to
prove or disprove the frequent asser-
ton that rowing has the effect of en-
larging the heart of the average male
athlete who goes in for this strenuous
sport. .-..
DR.. Lee selected three groups Of men
for his experiments. and in his first
squad he had sixteen candidates for the
freshman crew. The sixteen most
promising men on the varsity squad,
including practically the varsity and
second. formed DR.. Lees second group
while the third group was made up Of
ten graduates, all of whom had rowed
four mile races in college.
The doctor found that the hearts of
the older athletes were slightly larger
than those of the younger athletes in
the first group, but in regard to this
circumstance DR.. Lee expressed the
opinion that this difference in the size
of hearts was no more than normal in
and therefore could not be laid to any
results from rowing competitions. In
his report Dr. Lee says:

WALTER JOHNSON And Ty COBB STAND OUT

Just one hurler has held the whip
hand over this demon batsman-only
one. When the tall lad known as the
idaho Wonder" began operations
against Ty Cobb back in August 1907,
he was as green as the new mown hay,
and his very first game in the big
league was against the Tigers and Ty-
rus Cobb. In three times at bat Cobb
failed to make a safe hit. In fact,
Johnson allowed the lad from Georgia
only four hits in the first twenty four
times at bat. This was rather dis
