TOLLS OF SPORT
Baseball Kills More Athletes
Than Football or Boxing.
Interesting Figures Compiled
by a Medical Expert.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. July 24.-Records which
were recently made public thru the
columns of a medical journal. COM
prisine a list of fatalities in various
branches of sports for the past ten
years. show that baseball is a more
dangerous sport than football or box
ing.
The calamity howlers who have had
football and boxing on the pan for
number of years may not have SO
much to say when they discover this
fact, for fact it is. The fatality lists
were compiled by DIR. Robert L.
Coughlin. i prominent New York
medical man, and were gathered care
fully and compiled from year to year.
They embrace baseball football. box
ing, rowing, automobile racing, tennis.
golf, bowling, aviation, walking, run
ming, horse racing and every branch
of sport in which there is a lively m
terest.
The Best Safeguard.
In discussing the features of his
compilations, DIR. Coughlin made the
point that the best safeguard against
injuries in any branch of sports is per-
feet physical condition, and urged that
those who go in for sports of any kind
should make themselves physically tit
before indulging literally in their IA
vorite pastimes.
GCl Us lAdN e SdIll0S, dlHIGllCS, DdS0-
ball, pugilism, golf, tennis, cricket,
running, rowing, swimming, sprint
ing, basketball. cycling, wrestling,
skating, dancing, jumping, bowling,
football and all-around performances
by all means. But let US make our
young men physically fit to survive
athletic competition without suffering
injury to their constitutions" wrote
DR.. Coughlin. In this way we may
hope to make them ideal soldiers Of
the future
Football Is Second.
The figures complied, however, are
by far the most interesting to the
average reader. They show that in
ten years 2S4 players were killed on
the baseball diamonds of the country,
and this number tops the total num-
Der of fatalities in any other sport
branch. Football comes second with
215 deaths, while automobile racing,
long considered little better than sui
eide, is third with ia. Boxing, one
OF the most condemned of the So
called dangerous sports, is fourth,
with los fatalities
The cycling game has resulted in
the death of seventy-seven riders
within ten years time, while horse
racing comes sixth on the list, with
total OF flfty-fOur, and wrestling
seventh with fifteen. One would
hardly expect to see the mild old
game of golf in this list but according
to Doctor Coughlin, no less than four
teen golfers have met death on the
links. This is within one of the
total football fatalities for 1916. when
fifteen players lost their lives, so it is
possible to figure that football is Just
about ten times as dangerous as golf
Other sports included in the list,
together with the deaths for ten years,
are as follows: Bowling, 9; gymnas-
tics, 3; hammer throwing, /; bike
coasting, /; handball L; polo, 2;
weight lifting, 2; lawn tennis, l.;
vaulting and dancing, l.
