FIND PHYSICAL WEAK SPOTS
Many Baseball Players Have Athletic
Hearts and Flat Feet-otherG
Have Broken Toes.

The physical examination for the
army reveals the fact that very large
number Of ball players are affected
with athletic heart, which is bar tc
enlistment. 1t is claimed that every
man over twenty-five is troubled In
that way. Then there are broken toes
without number among the average
players on the average team. There
Is also usually a broken leg or arm,
crooked elbows, torn or misplaced Zig.
aments and various other ailments.
In one respect alone players will
stand the test and that is eyesight.
1t Is certain that hardly a player un.
der thirty-One will fail in this. If he
does he has succeeded in fooling his
manager, since the slightest impair
ment Of the vision ruins him as a bali
player. i;
It probably would not be suspected,
but many players will be rejected on
account Of fiat feet. For some reason
probably half Of the ball players lack
normal insteps. Bunions also are par
ticularly common. Both the fiat feet
and bunions are caused by wearing
baseball shoes, which have always
shown a tendency to "remake" the
feet In few years.

BALL DIDN'T TOUCH GROUND
Fielder chases Up Ladder, Gets Pill
Out Of Water Tank and Nails Bat.
ter at Plate.

Tex Jones, who used to play with
the White Sox and now is out in the
Western league somewhere, says this
play actually happened in a game he
took part in. It's O real "tank town"
story, ut any rate.
The playing field was along q rail-
road track, and there was a water tank
without roof on It just back of the
center fielder. The batter hit a high
fly. and It landed PUNK into this open
winter tnnk. The batter thought he
had home run, so he logged around
ut his leisure. but the center fielder
chased up the ladder mt the side Of the
water tank, reached in, got the ball
that had come to the surface Of the
water. and from his perch threw home,
getting the runner by step.
The umpire studied the rules, ield
the play was fair because the ball
hadn't touched ground" after being
hit. and allowed the putout. ..

WRONG PLAYER IS BANISHED
Umpire RigIer Should Have Fired
Pitcher or HlmseIf-How John.
ny Evers Got In Wrong.

Fans who attended a recent game
In Philadelphia wondered what Johnny
Evers had done to warrant dismissal
from the field. The true tale has been
learned from Pat Moran.
Umpire Rigler and Pitcher Jacobs
were of a different opinion on many
Of the Pirates pitches, and the latter
were peeved. Evers came to bat in
the sixth with the bases filed and two
out. Johnny tried to coax pass and
the count was two balls and one strike
when Jake offered doubtful pitch.
Johnny insisted 1t was a ball, but Rig
Ter called it strike.
"How about that pitch, Jake; wasn't
it ball?' shouted the Quaker second
baseman after flying out on the next
one.
1T certainly was" replied Jacobs,
who was smarting over other deci-
sions.
"Thera you are now!" yelled Johnny
in glee, as he looked at Rigler.
you're finished for today" was the
answer from the umpire.
And then they wonder why a lot
Of people want the umpire curbed.

PLAYERS PRAISE EACH OTHER
Jack coombs Says George Burns 10
Hardest Batter TO Fool-Latter
lauds Pitcher.

Some time ngo Jack COMBS. the
Brooklyn pitcher, was discussing his
work and his methods of pitching to-
the different batters. He was asked
what batter he found 1t hardest to
pitch to. "That,s hard question to
answer" he replied. They're all
hard and any batter in the league, no
matter how carefully you figure him
out, Is liable to cut loose at any time
and upset all your calculations"
When asked to name the batter who
gave him the most trouble he named
George Burns, the Giants left fielder.
George Burns is a good batter" said
Coombs, land it's q hard matter to fool
min, because ne rarely strikes at q
bad ball. He's pretty tough propo-
sition for pitcher" Some time later
Burns was asked what pitcher he
found hardest to hit. He didn't hesi-
nte moment. "Phat's easy" he
said. slack C0omba" I

BATTERS CAUSE MUCH DELAY
One Reason Given for Unnecessary
Time Consumed In Ball Cameo
No Good Reason for It.

The attention of umpires Is called 20
the fact that q growing practice on
the part Of batters Is one reason why
baseball games sometimes are longer
than they need be.
The habit Of batters stepping out Of
the box for little or no cause Is spread
ing and there Is no good reason why
1t should be allowed. What is meant
Is batters, In q moment of petulance
at real or fancied deliberateness on the
part Of the pitcher. stepping out Of the
box and thus wasting more time.
At the least sign Of slowness or hes.
itancy by the pitcher, out Of the box
steps the batter, much as a peevish
child might be expected to do. It's q
childish thing to do, anyway.

'FREAKIEST PLAY OF SEASON
With Three on Bases In st. Louis Game
Rouseh, Caught OF First, Lands
Safely on Second.

One Of the freak plays Of the season
happened in a game of the recent
Cardinals-Reds series in st. Louis. In
one inning the Reds had three men on
bases and ROusch. on first, was caught
off that bag. Instead Of trying to get
back to first, Rousch ran for second,
and Paulette ran after him with the
ball. AS Rousch came in to second,
Kopf, who held that base, lit out for
third, so Paulette took after him.
Kopf landed on third, where Fred
Tony was anchored and refusing to
bulge. Paulette tagged Kopf and he
was out, while Rousch was safe on Sec
ond. How did they score the play?
Rousch advanced to second on Kopf's
out.

Decatur, Ala.-Indian mounds in this
section will probably be leveied by for
tune seekers. An Indian doctor re-
Gently told how party Of Indians from
the Indian Nation In Oklahoma had
come into the Tennessee valley and re-
moved quantity of gold from one Of
the mounds.
Every year, during the late summer,
there are rumors Of Indians mystcri-
ously visiting the hunting grounds of
the Cherokees for the purpose of re-
covering gold. The gold, II is said, was
dug from the mountains of North Ala
bama and North Georgia and when TIE
CherOkees were moved to the West

igation and Nautical Tactics
at Great Lakes.
ARE GIVEN BEST Of Care
Work and Play, Three Meals q Day,
Limited Responsibility and Few
Worries-15, 900 Men Now
In Camp.

Great Lakes, nl.-WOrk and play,
three meals a day, limited responsible
ity, and few worries.
That's life in the navy. Mothers and
fathers, sisters and sweethearts, who
are worrying about their sons, broth
ers, or loved ones. are the only persons
worried while these lads are In train
ing at the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station.
Situated far from the tang Of salt
water, with Lake Michigan to gaze
upon-and occasionally practice gun
fire or rowing boat on - approx
mately $4,000 embryo sailors are learn
ing navigation and nautical tactics in
surprisingly short time.
Arriving at the station the recruit Is
sent to detention camp. He isn't ac-
cused Of being a germ carrier. but pre-
cautions are taken to see to 1t that he
doesn't associate with the great body
Of sailors until he has been under Oh
servation for Fl days. During this pc
Rod of detention the recruit Is given
typhoid prophylaxis, cowpox vaccina-
tion, throat swab, teeth survey, and
general physical attention.

He gets his final physical examina-
ton while in detention. If the examin-
ing surgeon thinks he Is untitled for
the naval service. he is placed in the
"hold-over" squad, re-examined fire.
quently, given plenty of work and
plenty Of food. If finally he Is unable
to pass muster, the recruit Is sent home
with medical discharge"
Very few men are received at the
station who are unable to pass the final
examination, for they are given at least
two examinations before they are sent
to Great Lakes.
If at the end of the twenty-one days
the recruit has been QUILTED, had his
hair cut short, and pronounced phys
ically fit, he is passed into the main
camp and his period Of real instruction
and work begins. He is invited to par
ticipate in athletics, selects the school
he desires to attend, and begins in ear
nest to prepare himself and to be pre-
pared for his future life on board a
dreadnaught, or some form of fighting
craft
Has Varied Duties. ......
He learns to do things which at home
he thought was girls work. This
includes dining hall duty, serving the
''mess," peeling "spuds," washing
clothes, making up his bed, etc. He
learns also to do many things which
the "hired" man back home did for
him. He swabs the "deck" (floor) Of
his tent, picks up paper and other rub
bish In the vicinity Of his tent or COM
pany street, and hundred other du-
ties Of this sort.
And through It all he Is being
watched closely-by petty officers, sur
geons and other higher officers. He Is
classified while in training station as
good, bad or Indifferent, and this clas-
sification will follow him, unless he
wins new one, throughout his en-
listment.
All you have to do Is to look at the
jackies In training to know that they
never were better cared for In their
lives - and that the Kaiser is up
against it when these lads set out to
get him.
