Amateurs Have
Organized Ball
Owners On Run,


Amateur baseball, once heartily supported by
managers of professional ball clubs, are partially
causing the downfall of the organized leagues
The fact that major league baseball club has
failed in city that stands foremost in the develop
ment of amateur baseball is matter that must be
taken into consideration in figuring on the prosper
ity of the professional game.
In Cleveland the bankers handling the affairs Of
Charley Somers have ordered that his American
league and American association clubs be sold. In
the same city fans point with pride to two national
amateur championship remnants won by Cleveland
amateur teams.
During the past two years when only handful of
fans has been attracted to the Cleveland American
league park, amateur contests staged on city play
grounds few miles away attracted crowds estlmat-
ed at from $4,000 to $4,000.
On Saturday and Sundays when there have been
more empty seats than filled at the fine, big
league park, fans have crowded together like sar-
dimes in box on the hsides of natural amphithe-
ater in another part of the city and yelled themselves
hOarse as kid teams battled
Cleveland is not the only city in which fans have
taken strongly to the amateur game
Tacoma has seen a sudden rise in the popularity of
amateur baseball. Last season. the first year that
an organized amateur league existed here, the City
league attracted far larger crowds to its games than
did Joe McGinnity' s Tigers
When towards the end of the season, it looked as
though the City league champion team would also be
the Pacific Coast champions, attendance at the
semi-pro windup games increased by leaps and
bounds, while the number attending professional
contests dwindled proportionatey.
That amateur baseball is making tremendous in
roads, financially upon the professional leagues is
causing baseball magnates no little alarm
There is nothing the club-owner can do to change
oandtions. 1t is simply up to them to wait and
IT, by offering high-class article of ball, with less
oommercialism involved, they regain patronage
lost during the past two years of inferior ball. due to
the baseball war.
Until this is decided it behooves them to hold down
q bit in their hopes for the future. The amateur
proposition is getting bigger all the time.

odd Hoss' Radbourna Pitched Arm Away;
Will Keller Did the Second Greatest Feat

The after effects of performing
what ury of the major league
managers has voted the greatest
and second greatest feats in base
ball, were extremely different.
"Old Hoss" Radbourne, who
performed the greatest feat, ac-
cording to the managers. when
he pitched az games for the Prov
idence club In 1884, a record for
the number pitched by hurler
in a single season, was useless
the following season.
Willie Keeler, given the honor
of performing the second greatest
by going through the season of
1896, with Baltimore, without
striking out, was as good as ever
many years afterward.
Radbourne's feat was one of
physical endurance. Only a man
of unusual serength could pitch
~ games in season - 81 Of
them In succession. Keelers
feat was one Of keen judgment.
Ability to pick out good balls and
crack them made 1t possible for
him to go to the plate TOO times
without tanning, a performance
never equaled by even such great
batters as Dan Brouthers, Pop
Arson, Hans Wagner, Larry La
joie or Ty Cobb.
Keller could judge a pitched
ball TO a fraction of an inch. He
is said to be the only player who
ever umpired his own games.
When he let ball pass, umpires
were satisfied IL was not over the
plate and called it ball"
Keller and Jesse Burkett were
the games greatest place hitters.
Keller used short thick bat and
gripped so far up on the handle
only half of the bat extended be-
yond his hands.

years.
Three times inside of a week
he beat as seconds for the 440
race. In one test he made Al 80
in his favorite event and a week
later he equaled the worlds rec
ord of AZ, but it was not allowed
on account of the wind at his
back. <The next day he was close
up to Ted Meredith in At seconds.
At recent meet he set a new
interscholastic worlds record of
As 1-5 seconds.
1.-THE common impression, I"
said Sloman in discussing his
methods of training for the 440,
seems to be that an athlete, in
order to be successful, must OBJ
serve innumerabl don't Outside
of living clean life there Is
nothing about which an athlete
should bother. The big don 'ts'
to me are four-don't use tobac-
co, don't drink alcoholic liquors,
don't eat pastries and don't stay
otu late at night.
About the actual work on the
track, the first week out l lust
fiddle about loosening up the
muscles with jogging, short bursts
NOT at top speed-and with
bounding exercises. Starting .he
second week l get over a slow
half and the next day slow 900.
The next day is the off day and
| keep off my feet as much as pos
sible.
THE following two days are
covered by another slow 900 the
first and an easy 800 the second.
All this is preparatory to fast
600-yard run which comes at the
end of the second week. BY let

A MORAL THAT'S GOOD EVERY
DAY.-Don't believe that you are safe
over the grip simply because you
haven't so many handkerchiefs in
the laundry, for the professional bac-
teriologists have learned some sur
prising things in studying the latest
grip wave"
These bug students have, in exam
lining the sputum of grip patients in
the later stages, found not grip
germs, but germs of pneumonia. 1t
seems that the grip germ either pre-
pares the way for the pneumonia
germ and gets out, or else the pneu-
monia germ comes in and eats up the
grip germ. The latter is the more
likely, because doctors actually fight
diphtheria germs by spraying into
throat tonsilitis germs, which make
the diphtheria germs their meat.
Moreover, typhoid being usually
mixed up with grip, pneumonia, etc,
the bugologists have studied out that
there is collision between the typhoid
germ and the tubercule bacillus, and
that patients recovering from typhoid
are for, from two to five years, espe-
cially liable to tuberculosis. The ty-
phoid germ either prepares good
ground for the tuberculosis bacillus
and falls back for a more favorable
position, like a good Russian gen.
eral, or has fight with the tubercule
bacillus and goes under.
Anyhow, if you've had grip or ty-
phoid, you have in your midst a reg
ular old Standard octopus combine,
or a battle of bugs, in which the VIC
tor will finally turn upon you.
Moral: Plenty of fresh air and
sleep, frequent baths and careful eat
ing and dressing, even when you have
recovered and are laughing at
rGighbors sneezing and blowing.
