BASEBALL is MOST
DANGEROUS PASTiME
List OF Fatalities In Various
Sports for Ten Years.
Records Show Diamond Game More
Hazardous Than Either Football or
Boxing-AthIetics Fit Men for
War Duties.

hecCruS winch were recently made
public through the columns of a medi-
cal journal, comprising list of fatali-
ties in various branches of sports for
the past ten years, show that baseball
is more dangerous sport than foot
ball or boxing.
The calamity howlers who have had
Football and boxing on the pan for a.
number Of years may not have so much
to say when they discover this fact, for
fact it is. The fatality lists were COM
piled by DR.. Robert E. Coughlin,
prominent New York medical man, and
were gathered carefully and compiled
from year to year. They embrace base
ball, football, boxing rowing, automo-
bile racing, tennis, golf, bowling, avia-
ton, walking, running, horse racing
and every branch of sport in which
there is lively interest.
Best Safeguard.
In discussing the features of his
compilations, Doctor Coughlin 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
ly fit before INDUCING literally in their
favorite pastime.
Let us have games, athletics, base
ball, pugilism, golf, tennis, cricket, run
ming, rowing, swimming, sprinting, bas-
ket ball, 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 Doctor
Coughlin. SIN this way we may hope
to make them ideal soldiers of the fu.
ture."
Interesting Figures.
The figures complied, however, are
by far the most interesting to the av-
erage reader. They show that in ten
years 2S4 players were killed on the
baseball diamonds of the country, and
this number tops the total number of
fatalities in any other sport branch.
Football comes second with 215 deaths
while automobile racing, long consid-
cred little better than suicide, is third
with ia. Boxing, one of the most con-
demned of the so-called dangerous
sports, is fourth, with los fatalities.
The cycling game has resulted in
the death of II riders within ten years
time, while horse racing comes sixth
on the list with totaE of 81, and
wrestling seventh with 10. One would
hardly expect to see the mild old game
of golf in this list, but according to
Doctor Coughlin, no less than IA golf
ers have met death on the links. This
is within one of the total football IA
talities for 1916, when 10 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, 8; hammer throwing, 1; bike
coasting, 1; handball, 1; polo, 2;
weight lifting, 2; lawn tennis, L;
vaulting and dancing, 1.

FAMOUS MEN OF GREEN ISLE
Country Has Few More Picturesque
Figures Than the Three Widely
Known Myles Brothers. l..

Lieut.. Col. Sir Thomas Myles, n. D.,
better known as Sir Tom Nyles-
who has been in America on British
medical mission, is one Of the most
picturesque figures in Irish life. Al
medical students in Trinity college.
Dublin, the three Mzles brothers were
famous for their encounters with mem.
bers Of the heavyweight" division Of
the Metropolitan police. It used to be
said Of the Myles brothers, that. if
they found it necessary to beat up the
Dublin finest" at night. they were
equally asslduous in patching them up
IN the morning. So there was no hard
feeling on either side.
Sir Thomas was knighted In 1902
when he was president OF the College
OF Surgeons in Ireland. 1t was a.
ncuse surgeon in Stevens hospital
that he made the first examination of
the bodies Of Burke and Cavendish,
the victims Of the famous Phoenix
park murders. The strange thing was
that, Mt the moment, neither Sir
Thomas nor the police knew that one
OF the bodies was that of the chief sec
retary, and the other that of the under
secretary for ireland.
1t is a habit Of the A9yles family
to be over six feet in height, and
with shoulders and fists in proportion.
In the Zulu war one Of the chiefs waa
run to earth in his kraal by the British
who wished to capture him alive. Vol.
unteers were asked for and Sir
Thomas brother John undertook the
task. lie crawled through the lOnl
covered entrance and came out ter
minutes letter, dragging the kicking
potentate behind him by the scrulf o1
the neck.

OF all the varied means of masti-
eatory stimulation which have been
resorted to by man In all climes and
ages the great American gum seems
least harmful and most helpful. That
there Is physiological demand for
some masticatory stimulant. says the
New York Medical Journal, Is shown
BY the universality Of the practice Of
chewing. Whether II be the tobacco Of
the American Indian, the betel nut Of
the East. the slippery elm bark. the
tamarack and the spruce gum Of the
down-east Yankee, the sweet gum Of
the Gulf states. the chicle Of the Mexi-
cans, which. In its American adapta-
ton. becomes the great American
chewing gum. man has always felt the
necessity Of chewing something more
than his meals. That there Is a prac-
tically useful side for this habit is
evidenced by the orders placed by the
Quartsrmaster Of the United States
army for 100000 packages of this
standard American dainty. We learn
from the war department that the
commanding officer Of field artillery
regiment, about to embark, stated that
250 pounds Of chewing gum would
take the place of hundreds Of gallons
Of drinking water when water was
most needed and least readily Obtain,
able. The American Red Cross re.
Gently cabled an order for chewing
gum for use in the reconquered ter
rttory where the wells had been pois-
oned by the retreatinp Germans.
