Many BALL PLAYERS
FOOLTNG father time
Turner. Plank. Stanage and Austin
Among the Many.

New York, June 16-When q ball
player commences to bat over 30 in
general belief that he has seen his
best days.
The rolling years take the youth
full snap and ginger out OF the arms
and legs of the average player past
30 years of age, and he turns into
the path which leads him back to the
minors or to retirement.
But there are exceptions to every
rule and in the major leagues today
there is a sprinkling Of players well
past the 30-year mark who are still
blocking Old Dad Times lusty wallops
tious youngsters grow weary camp
ing on their trails. waiting for the
chance to step in and take their places
Hinchman, Ames. Vaughn. Toney,
Chief Myers, and Buck HeTzog. are
among the past-So players in the Ma
winning their cakes on the diamond,
while Terry Turner. Eddie Plank,
Stanage and Jimmy Austin are Amer
lean League veterans who refuss
white-bearded old gent who turns the
hands of the clock.
But two of the most remarkable
players in many respects are Gavvy
Cravath and Dode Paskert OF the
Phillies. both outticlders, and both ap-
in the big show. Cravath has been the
biggest surprise of the two. because
he has managed to comeback after
he was Labelled, wrapped and shipped
to the minors, and expected to stay
there for good and all. Few fans or
the big show this year after he was
headed for the minors last fan. But
he's back, and he Is Just as highly
respected by the pitchers as ever be-
fore.
Though Gavvy's legs are not cap
able of doing the work they once did,
his murderous bat is still on the job
and his batting eye Is just as keen
as ever. Pat Moran would be glad to
see a faster and snappier fielder hold
not see his way clear to sacrifice
C-avath's hitting ability for young
err pair of legs and a much weaker
bludgeon. Cravath started out the
season Of 1917 at a terrific clip. and
up. to the first Of June he was hitting
better than ;SSS. Cravath has fooled
'em, that's all.
In Dode Paskert, the Phillies have
another veteran. Dode is now playing
his seventh season as a member Of
the Phils. and he bids fair to be seen
in a Philly uniform for several mere
be taken as an indication Of just how
fast he is going back.
Paskert, unlike most ball players
past She will be 36 in August-has
not lost the youthful springiness and
vigor Of his legs. He Is as fast and
sure on his underpinning as many of
the younger players who come up, and
although he is not the hitter that
Crayath Is, he can still sting the ap-
pie for a seasons average around .215.
He hit .279 last season, and so far
this year he has been hitting between
$50 and go, with his hitting being
done in streaks. Like all of the vete-
rams, Paskert may be expected to
brush up his batting with hot weather
here to stay.
Whera can you find two grand old
yets-end both outtielders-who have
anything on Cravath and Paskert. 1t
can't be done.

harder than ever. II wasn't long be-
fore he went out Of the American
League. For a few days he straight
ened his physical self and reported
to the Philadelphia Nationals. But
drink had him; there were times when
he sold his gloves, his mask, his shoes
that his craving might be stilled.
He slept under the stands, thus
Withholding the money that he would
have used for board And room. From
that point the confident, aggressive

MARKS OF CHAMPIONS
Change HANDS Often
Many Of the Best Athletes of Today
Have Answered Colors.

New York, June 15.-Away back in
1876 athletic champions were given
their iirst taste OF recognition in this
fai: land Of ours, and since that time
the championships in various branches
Of outdoor sports have changed hands
quite few times.
A comparison OF the first marks
made by recognized champions with
the marks that stand today shows be-
yond a doubt that the present-day ath-
performer. He Is better fitted physi-
cally for the sports in which he par
ticipates, and the records Of which he
Is able 70 boast have been built up
largely because he has greater ad-
vantage than the old-time athlete.
who. for the most part, never had the
advice Of coaches and trainers to help
But the great athletes of today,
fully eighty per. cent OF them, have
answered the call to the coiors. Many
OF them will never compete in ath-
letic meets again, while a big major
ity of those who survice the war will
without doubt be through as far as
athletics are concerned.
The on-coming generation of ath-
letes is handicapped by the war de-
spite the fact that athletics are to
be encouraged and carried on by
schois,' colleges and athletic organiZa-
tlons as far as possible. The military
spirit will ride over the competitive
spirit of athletics to such a degree
that the same whole-hearted interest
will not return to athletics until after
the war is over
For this reason II Is fairly safe
to say that the records which stand
today will stand for several years to
come. for the athletic world is going
to be set back and the athletes OF
the 1ltnFa will havA 70 afa ruh

Outstanding records In track and
field sports. therefore. will be the
marks which future athletic stars will
have TO shoot at when sports afield
come back into their own. Here is a

In line with the statement that ath-

tlnue them, let us. take the statements
OF harvard and Yale athletic officials
who are in a position to know.
Robert Nelson Corwin, chairman Of
the Yale Athletic Association, replied
recently to a query from the Interna-
uonal News service as follows:
think we are unanimous here in
feeling that there should be a resump-
ton OF some form OF athletics as soon
as conditions permit. There is a gen.
eral agreement that athletes can, be
made an essential part Of military
training. At the present time, how
ever, all of our "Y'' men, without ex-
ception, l think, are in some form OF
the service. We are not certain Of
conditions that will prevail when coll
lege opens in the fall. hope to see
the resumption of athletic training and
sports. thought 1t seems quite prob
able that 1t may be necessary to
revive them in a modified form"
Fred w. Moore, graduate treasurer
Of the Harvard Athletic Association.
Organized athletics at Havard are
impossible. Every athlete, good or
poor, Is either in service or drilling
many hours a day. Conditions next
tall will determine our policy, but at
present the outlook isn't bright"
