Slowing Up.

Some time ago We had talk with a
bah player of so as to when the slow
ing up process arrived. He stated that
IN his case he began to lose Just a
frlfle of his speed at 81, but that it was
not until he was 20 that he finally
realized the fact. But by looking back
lie could distinguish an almost imper
cept1ble slowing up that suddenly pre-
scented itself as an established fact no
longer to be doubted. This man was
one OF the fastest in the game, so even
after he had begun to lose his speed
he had sufficient quantities of it left to
hold his own. 1t simply began to dawn
on him at % that he was losing certain
hits, being thrown out by foot Or so
on infiold taps that he was formerly
beating out.

More Vital Statistics.

Some time ago we displayed a set Of
statistics which showed that the great
est average in stardom was around 90
at which age Lajoie. Wagner, Walsh,
Mathewson and many others were at
their best.
1t is quaint coincidence that the
average age of the major leag1ler is

trained athlete this age is the prime,
proved in two directions.

sy oRANTLANo RICE.

When Colonel Ernest V. Smith chief
of staff of the southern division, was
paying his official visit to the Yankee
camp at Macon, Ga, there was one
matter in which he was more than in
terested. This concerned the average
age of the club.
This same query has come up often
before. More than one non combatant
has asked from time to time the av.
erage age of a ma Tor league squad. Is
II under 80 or as far down as %?

Average Age.

Taking in the complete squad. there
are 80 Yankees in camp. Their COM
hined age is 7+ years. which means
an average for the entire squad of %
wears and nine months. Quite a num-
Der of these are recruits who will not
be carried. To get closer to the exact
situation we took the roster of the Il
Who We're accounted as regulars la st
season. The average age of these Il
is % years and nine months. just two
years beyond that of the entire squad
in camp today.
As remarked before. the Yankees are
young club. and yet their average is
not greatly below the average of many
others. Offhand. we should say that
the average major league age today
was between % and 81 years. which is
very close to the sportive prime.

WEATHER BAD THERE
(By r. T. Rocene.)

A kind providence has interviewed in

which exists. The same troubles which
have hampered the Montana team has
been in evidence out in Washington,
and it has been announced by Gradu
ate Manager Vincent Borleske of
Whitman college that the Mission
aries ball nine has cancelled its trip
to Missoula. No. indeed. the news
isn't bad as that was Just the thing
the Montana management was trying
to do.
The Whitman team was scheduled
to appear in Missoula on April 6 and
:. or a week from Friday and Satur-
day On Thursday. April ;, the Whit
man team was scheduled to meet John
McGough's Gonzaga Turks on the
Gonzaga diamond, but this game has
been cancelled, as well as the games
between Whitman and the UNIVERSE
~ of Idaho, and Whitman and WASH
ington State college, which were to
have been played when the Mission
aries returned from the trip to Mis-
soula.
The action of Coach Borleske in
cancelling the games means that the

versity of Idaho and Montana. April
