EVERETT STRUPPER
PILOTS GORDON TEAM

Atlanta. Ga. Oct. 17-Brig. Gen.
william H. Page. commanding Camp
Gordon. left headquarters yester-
day and spent the afternoon on the
gridirOn with the football team
watching every play and giving
suggestions now and then. He re-
CARDS football as a prime factor in
the development of the fighting man
and says if he knew more about it
he would coach the team himself
It's not often that the Commanding
General leaves headquarters for any
length of time. but it was seen that
his presence at the practice put all
sorts of pep and enthusia SIN into the
players. Everett Strupper. now a
sergeant in one of the replacement
regiments and member of the cham
pion Georgia Tech team last season,
is captain of the Camp Gordon out
fit. Strupper was an All-American
half back in 1917. and this year
looks better than he was last year

PLAYERS BEST
AT TWENTY-SIX
Study of Years Shows That
Majority of Stars Reach
Prime at That Age.

When does the great ballplayer
reach the greatest efficiency?
At what age is his prowess superior
to his efforts at other times?-
A little study of the ages at which
ballplayers have had their great year
Is interesting. 1t sh that at about
25 or 26 the maximum OF efficiency
is reached Honus Wagner had his
greatest year in 1900. At least he
reached his maximum as a batsman
that year. and his fielding was never
better. In 1900 Honus was 26 years
old. He batted $50 for the season.
Napoleon Lajoie had. his best year
in 1901. when he was 26. That year
the great Frenchman batted for an
astounding total of .422.
Cobb's star year was In 1911, when
he was 25. That year Cobb batted
.42N and amassed PAS hits and 147
runs When It is considered that
there are few batters who get beyond
100 runs or 200 hits a season 1t may
be seen how far out ahead OF the
field Cobb was that year.
Matty had something like sixteen
great years, but the greatest was
in 1865, when he was q. That year
Matty won 81 and lost but 9 out of
40 and pitched 8 shutout games
against the Athletics in the wo- Id
series, an achievement which has
never been equaled.
Ed Walsh's super year, when he
won 20 games and lost Is. besides
saving a number for other pitchers.
was in 1908. Walsh was 26 then. His
record of 20 wins has been beaten by
only one other pitcher. Chesbro hav-
ing gone him one better.
Walter Johnson reached the best
season in 1918, when he was 26. That
year he won 80 and lost but Z games.
1t is hard to pick the greatest year
OF Grover Alexander, who has won
more than 30 games during the last
three seasons, but he delivered these
victories during his 24th, 18th and
26th years.
Joe Wood won % games and lost
in 1912, when he was but .. and
Rube Marquard was the same age
the same year when he made his
remarkable run of 10 straight games.
But the majority of the great stars
have been around 25 or 26 when they
had their best seasons.

DICK LOADMAN is
A REGULAR BATTLER

New York, Oct. IA new bantam
weight star has risen in the person
of Dick Loadman. of Buffalo. Load
man has been for some time con-
sidered as a handy boy with his
fists. vet Within the mast few months
he has advanced so rapidly and has
made such an impressive showing
that few boys of his weight Care to
tackle him.
The upstate boy has a knockout
of Johnny Ertle to his credit. though
the st. Paul kewpie declares that
he suffered with an abscess IN his
right ear on the night he fought
Loadman, and express a desire to
meet Dick again. In this attitude
Ertle stands practically alone. for
number of other good boys at
his weight have evaded a meeting
with the Buffalo boxer.

EXCESS WEIGHT
BIGHANDICAP
Light Pugilists of Heavy
Division Haye Had Better
Success in Campaigns.

Boxers with bare knuckIes or gloves
always have attached so much i'm
portance to the question of weight
as to give the impression that avoir-
success of leading pugilists. In the
classes below the heavyweight di-
vision haggling over ounces has mark
ed nearly every championship match
in the history of the sport.
While the contenders for the heavy
weight championship are compelled
to meet opponents at catch weight
yet the lighter man has seldom fail
ed to call attention to the fact thai
he was handicapped by the weight.
"A glance at the achievements of the
great champions OF the past and
present tends, to the conviction that

the heavyweight class.
Tom Sayers, who showed superior
ity over every other heavy weight in
England under London rules, was
really middle weight as he stood
but : feet inches tall and scaled
lVp IpuhuS. HlNtI All t1t
English heavies Sayers decided that
he would make himself the heavy
weight champion of the world by
beating John c: Heenan, the Amer
iCan champion
Heenan. who scaled 100 pounds and
stood feet tall, administered a ter
rife beating to Sayers and would
have knocked out the British cham
pion only for the Interference of
Sayers' friends. who cut the ring
ropes in the forty-second round.
Heenan did not win because of the
advantage of 20 pounds, but because
he was as good boxer as Sayers
and a heavier. hitter. Sayers vas a
very clever boxer and a heady ring
general, but Heenan's hitting was tco
much for him.
Jem Mace, who retired the unde-
feated heavyweight champion of the
world, stood feet 10 inches tall and
probably never weighed more than
165 pounds. In addition to being a
good boxer and ring general, Mace
was = furnishing hitter. Mace beat

ADJUSTMENT IN
BOXING REALMS
When Peace Is Declared
Fight Fans Will See Great
Changes In Game.

There's going to be a big adjust
ment in the boxing world after the
war.
Scarcely any of the champions
who have won their crowns during
the last few years will be able to
defend them because they win not
be able to make the weights in
their divisions.
1t means that practically all the
present day champions will have to
move up into the next biggest class
where they will be compelled to
meet new opponents.
The bantamweight crown belongs
to Pete Herman. Herman won this
at lis pounds, which is really two
pounds over the proper weight
Herman is in the navy and is get
ting big. He will never be able
to make 11S pounds again and must
go into the ring as featherweight,
II is doubtful whether Johnny
Kilbane, who has held the feather
title for six years will ever box
again. Kilbane is independent and
has business interests in Cleveland
which demand most of his time.
Already his manager. Jimmie Dunn,
is schooling another boy. Jack
Wolfe. for honors in the feather
weight class. Wolfe will havc
plenty of opposition before he can
claim the laurels. however.
Benny Leonard, the lightweight
champion. has become a welter-
weight since he has been an in
structor in the army. When ne met
Ted Lewis, the welter king. a few
weeks ago there was very little diff
ference in their weights. Richie
Mitchell, who was one of Leonard's s
sturdiest opponents is in the navy.
70 has outgrown the class. 1t is
likely that While Jackson. Johnny
Dundee and Lew Tender will be
left to quarrel over the lightweight
spoils.
The addition among the welter-
weights will be complicated. Ted
Lewis, Jack Britton. Johnny Griffiths
and Bryan Downey. the best of the
bunch. who have been dividing uI
the money in the division for the last
two or three years. will find a bunch
of good light-weights invading the
division. Few of the welters have
grown big enough to enter the middle
weight division.
The middle-weight tangle which has
not been successfully settled since the
death of Stanley Ketchell. will find
itself in no better shape than ever
! Mike O'Dowd claims the title by vir-
tue of his knockout of AL Mccoy
Harry Greb will be a formidable con-
tender Mike and Tommy Gibbons
may be in the swim, although IT Is
not improbable that Mike will give
up fighting after the war.
The heavyweight division is not
likely to undergo much change. There
doesn't seem to be any heavyweight
capable of holding his own with Jack
Dempsey except Willard, and Il
doesn't look as though Willard intend:
to defend his title.
