PIRATE MANAGER is SERIOUSLY
ILL WITH "ATHLETIC HEART

worked harder and moved faster than
any youngster on his squad.
Bezdek always doubted the athletic
heart" theory. month ago. however.
the truth of it was brought home to
him forcib1y. His heart palpitated and
at times seemed about to jump out of
his body. He became dizzy and later
had much difficulty in breathing. His
first consultation with a physician
brought temporary relief, but in the
past two weeks the annoyance in the
heart region became so severe he was
forced to leave the Pirates at Phila-
delphia and return to Pittsburg for
treatment.
Physicians have never found a rem-
edy for athletic heart. They declare
1t is caused by the sudden stopping
of athletic activity when the heart
muscles become somewhat atrophied,
and do not function normally. Rest is
the alleged cure. but even this does
not insure against a sudden stoppage
of the heart beat and death. Bezdek
realizes his condition and is stunning
all excitement.

DEMANDS TITLE
AND PENSION FOR
"SMOKE-BOX" IDEA

London, Aug. Charles Hannah
novelist and playwright, has demand
ed knighthood and a pension from the
government for himself and his wife
on the ground that he suggested to
the British admiralty the advisabili'y
of using smoke boxes or smoke
screens which We're extensively used
for the protection of British naval
and merchant vessels during the lat
ter part of the war.
He claims that he proposed this
plan to Winston Churchill and the
admiralty on February s, 1915, on con-
dition that he was to receive knight
hood and pension Mr.. Hannah says
the admiralty informed him it was
not pre- pared to adopt his proposals.
Six months later. says Mr.. Hannah.
he joined the admiralty and for the
first time discovered that experiments
on the line suggested by him had been
secretly conducted in the Mediter-
ranean.
For nearly two years Mr.. Hannah
has been writing to Premier Lloyd
George and Sir Eric Geddes, formerly
first lord of the admiralty, claiming
his reward. Failing, he has made his
claims public through London news
papers.

Athletic activity in youth does not
necessarily imply Longevity of life. 1t
does not even imply sure health in
middle life. Hugo Bezdek, manager Of
the Pittsburg Pirates realizes this now
as he never realized it before The
Pirate boss is ill with athletic heart
and during the past few weeks he has
suffered to such an extent it was neces-
sary for him to place himself under
the care of heart specialist While
there may be no cause for immediate
alarm in Bezdek's condition, the fact
remains that his heart has been weak
eneG through athletics and over strain.
and only the greatest care will give
him relief.
Few men in this country led a more
active athletic life than did Bezdek
From the time he entered school he
was active in all branches of athletics,
He starred at football, but he also
took part in nearly all other major
sports. Until three years ago he was
as active as any athlete, for during
the time he was coach at Oregon Uni
versity, he was credited with having

Waists That Start
At the Waist Line

That the sleeveless, backless, al.
most waistless dinner and dance
frocks worn by many women are
awful, "abominable" and must
shock our returning heroes" are the
assertions Of Mrs. James Griswold
Wentz, resident and founder of the
Women's Republican Club and a
woman Of assured position in the
society of New York and Newport.
Mrs. Wentz directed her opening
barrage against our Lady Godivas Of
1919, who draw the line only at the
waist line, in a recent meeting at the
Cosmopolitan Club to consider the
girl problem during Rehabilitation.
Deputy Police Commissioner Ellen
O'Grady had bewailed the almost
complete absence of modesty among
many young girls of today. "Con-
slider what the girls see their mothers
and other women wearing in the res
taurants and other public places"
countered Mrs. Wentz. "Think what
an example is set them by the
abominable undress worn by many
women in the evening""
