ROSS OUGHT TO SPECIALIZE
Olympic Club Star Is Making Mistake
In Not Concentrating His Ef-
forts, Say Swimmers.

Men well posted in swimming af-
swimmers, have expressed the opinion
that Norman Ross, the Olympic club
star and holder of a dozen or moro
national and world records in various
swimming events, is making mis-
take in not specializing and concen"
trating his efforts.
Ross is admitted to be one of the
most versatile mermen that ever tool;
TO the water, and has shown his Prov
ess ia both long and short distance
events.
From the 5O-yard sprint to the gruei
ing mile swim across the Golden Gate,
Ross has achieved fame, but the con-
tention is made that Ross is naturally
an athlete most likely to achieve dis
tinction in the DO and 440-yard events
By specializing in these il is main
tanned that he Nauld eventually set
figures for these swimS that II would
take years TO la9t, with the likeli
hood that he night establish marks
which would keep him il the Iecords
for Il long time after his swimming
days, II not for all time.
In attempting TO negotiate ali kinds
of Gvi!nS and distances, the conten-
ticn IS made that while Ross may win
and even break records, these fisylaes
Will not be as decisive, and may sBdl
be bettered by other men who special
ize.

BOXING IN AUSTRALIA
NOT PROSPECTING NOW

The latest news from Snowy
Baker Of Australia indicates
that boxing over there is in
bad way. When the late Les
Darcy was astonishing the
world with his prowess Aus
trolia cut a big figure in fistic
history, but since his departure
and subsequent death the bot
tom has dropped out of the
sport.
Ring stars are now so scarce
that Jimmy Clabby and Eddie
McGOorty, both of whom were
forced into retirement when
Darcy was alive, have come
back ana are the stars of the
middleweight division. The an

BASEBALL IS MOST
DANGEROUS PASTIME.
List OF Fatalities in Various
Sports for Ten Years.
Records Show Diamond Game More
Hazardous Than Either Football or
soxins-AthIeties Fit Men for
War Duties.

RECORDS which were recently made
pubic through the columns Of medi-
cal Journal, comprising a list Of fatali-
ues in-Sarious branches of sports for
the past ten years, show that baseball
IS more dangerous sport than foot
bali or boxing.
Inc 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
TACT It IS. The fatality lists were COM
piled by DR.. Robert e. Coughlin. q
prominent New York medical man, and
were gathered carefully and compiled
from year to year. They embrace base.
pail, football. boxing, rowing, automo-
bile racing, tennis, golf, bowling. avia-
tion, walking, running, horse racing
ana every branch Of sport in which
there is lively interest.
Best Safeguard.
In discussing the features Of HE
compilations. Doctor Couchlin made
the point that the best safeguard
against injuries In any branch Of sports
IS perfect physical condition, and urged
that those who go in for sports of any
Kind should make themselves physical
~ Mt before INDUCING literally In their
favorite pastime.
Let US have games. athletics. base.
pall, pugiiism, golf, tennis. cricket. run.
ning, rowing, swimming. sprinting. bas-
ket pall, cycling, wrestling, skating,
oanclng, jumping, bowling. football
ana all-around performances bv all
means. But let US make our young
men physically fit 10 survive athletic
competition without suffering injury to
their constitutions" wrote Doctor
Coughlin. In this way we may hope
10 make them ideal soldiers Of the fu.
ture."
Interesting Figures.
The figures compiled. however. are
oy far the most interesting to the ay-
erage reader. They show that in ten
years 2S4 players were killed on the
baseDali diamonds of the country, and
THIS number tops the total number Of
fatalities in any other sport branch.
Football comes second with 215 deaths
i while automobile racing. long consid-
cred little better than suicide, is third
with Ia. Boxing, one of the most con-
demned of the so-callnd dangerous
! sports, is fourth. with 1O5 fatalities.
The cycling game has resulted in
the death of " riders within ten years
time, while horse racing comes sixth
on the list, with total OF 81, and
wrestling seventh with Is. One would
hardly expect to see the mild old game
Of golf In this list, but according to
! Doctor Coughlin, no less than II golf
ers have met death on the links. This
IS within one OF the total football ia.
talities for 1916, when IS 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, to.
! gether with the deaths for ten years,
are as follows< Bowling, 9; gymnas.
! tics, 3; hammer throwing. 1; bike
coasting. !; handball, /; polo. ?;
weight lifting, 2: lawn tennis, /;

 AND INDIGESTION
TAPES DIAPEPsIN1 MAKES SICK, SOUR, GASSY SToMAcHS
 FELL FINE

Do some foods you eat hit back - taste good, but work badly; ferment into acids and cause a sick, sour, gassy stomach? Now. MT. or Mrs. Dyspeptics jot this down: Pape's Dia- pepsin helps neutralize the excessive acids in the stomach so your food won't sour and upset you. There never was anything so safely quick, SO certainly effective. No difference how badly your stomach is upset you usnally get happy relief in five min utes, but what pleases you most is that it helps to regulate your stom- ach so you can eat your favorite foods without fear.
 Most remedies give you relief some times-they are slow, but not sure, 'Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in neutralizing the acidity, so the mis- cry won't come back very quickly.
 You feel different as soon as "Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact with the stomach-distress just van shes-your stomach gets sweet, nc gases no belching. no eructations ot undigested food, your head clears and you feel fine.
 Go now. make the best investment you ever made, by getting a large nfty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsir from any drug store. You realize ir five minutes how needless it is to sui. fer from indigestion, dyspepsia ol any stomach disorder due to acid fermentation.

It is the councils plan to place before the delegates brief sum- mary of what has been done, as wall as plan for future activities. A spe- cial committee of the council is now at work arranging the complete pro- gramme for this important war meet ing.
 Governor Holcomb has sent the fol- lowing letter to local chair1nen of the, Connecticut State Council of Defense.
 "On April 26, in accordance with power vested in me by Chapter 44 of the Public Acts of 1917, I appointed the Connecticut State Council of De-. fense for the purpose of directing the prosecution of the war so far as con-y cerns this state.
 "This council, in accordance with my directions, has formed an organf- zation to cover wide field of actfv- ity, and has been diligently and efh- ciently. addressing itself to the great task assigned to it.
 Nearly a year has elapsed since the United States entered the war, and apparently we are but launched upon the great undertaking which it has become the duty of Connecticut to perform, in furnishing it's part of the men, materials. and money for the wars successful prosecution.
 "In my opinion it will be wise for i us at this time. to confer as to ways and means. and I am therefore di- recting the council to call together in convention representatives from the

 ready done. and take council together as to our future procedure. MARCUS H. HOLCOMB, "Governor.s
