Here, quite unobtrusively, he
awaited the arrival Of No. IS. The
platform was fairly well crowded
but not unusually so, or rather, per-
haps, not noticeably SO. A half
dozen, or even u dozen, extra men
circulating amongst the ordinary
press of traffic would hardly be ex-
pected to make any appreciable diff
ference. The Hawk, back under the
shadows of the building, surveyed
the lighted stretch of platform mar
rowly. They We're there, the Wire

ship with the gang so far had been
with its more prominent members,
as 1t were. and these, as likewise
MacNightie's posse, had already
boarded the train far west of Sell
kirk--that each might not excite the
others suspicion! Nor was Mac
Vightie himself in evidence. Not
that this surprised the Hawk! He
was interested, that was all. IT was
simply a question of whether Mac
Vightie had elected to stay with the
gold, or had gone on with the first
| posse on the Limited ON the assump-
ton that the Limited was the more
likely to be attacked. 1t made little
difference, of course, as far as he,
the Hawk, was concerned, whether it
was Macvightie or some one else
who was in command of the posse
his own plans would in no way be
affected on that account.
There was a stir along the plat
form. Up the yard, past the twink
ling switch lights on the spurs, the
glare Of headlight flashed into
| sight around the bend. Came the
roar and rumble of heavy train.

LiDe Sports NeWs and Comment
Science Used by
Athletic Coaches

The late Charles Courtney. crew
coach at Cornell for many years. and
one of the best known men in Ameri-
can intercollegiate rowing circles,
was always ready to place credit
whore credit was due, even tho such
u procedure did not favor him. The
story has been told by Courtney
many times that much of his SUCCESS
in the rowing sport should be credit
ed to Thomas Hall, captain and
stroke of the Cornell varsity of 1895.
In that year Courtney was both
cred to analyze the stroke of the
Cornell crew. He wanted to ascer-
tain at just what point in the pull
the heaviest part of the stroke came
He knew what he wanted, but he was
unable to figure his plan out.
He took his problem to Hall and the
young man Immediately suggested
the use of the dynamoineter. which
he later rugged up to record the
stroke.
Some argument was necessary be-
fore the instrument was secured
from the laboratory, and after 1t
was obtained Hall and Courtney were
obliged to toll many hours before
they arranged 1T just as they wanted
it, or before 1t would do just the
stunt Coach Courtney expected Of it..
Finally success crowned their eff
forts, and the delicate instrument
registered the pull of the stroke and
| showed the i'll effect Of the system
hA bol a =
his plans immediately, and Cornell's
success after that time is now his
tory. Courtney always gave Hall
great credit for this work. and de-
clared he learned more about rowing
in that experiment than he had
|, learned In the fifteen years before
| that time.
| Hall and Courtney were the firss
] to use the dynamometer in testing
the pull Of rowing crew, but since
that time others have used it and
some have greatly improved upon
the crude but accurate arrangement
that the Cornell pair invented.
Courtney was a great believer In the
use Of science in everything, but his
lack OF education along scientific
lines handicapped him in many Gin
stances altho he usually worked out
his plans after much perseverance.
While Coach Courtney was stick
Ter for uniformity Of pull In the
stroke, he always advocated per.
hitting the oarsmen to adopt their
| own natural positions. Altho not in
favor of the English stroke as used
by Yale, Courtney did great deal OF
experimenting with 1t before he
finally announced his position.

Ruth a Free Lance
When He's Batting

lAAN'So'i' NiSLSSou III SHiCaRO POSI-
Babe Ruth. Chicago's distinguished
guest and the most talked of man in
the United States today. bar none, is
the only baseball player on record
who doesn't have to follow the rule of
team play" He Is permitted, ana. ia
fact, encouraged, to stage Individual
feats of prowes,s, and, because he can
make good. is building up a fortune
FOR thes.Yankee club.
According to the ethics of team
play" a star batter Is frequently
called on for sacrifice. Even so
noted slugger as Jackson or Speak
err lays down 81 bunt when the occa-
sion comes up.
Ruth doesn't have to. The fans
wouldn't stand for it. This applies
to the populace Of Chicago, st. Louis
and Boston as much as New York.
Babe has gained his enormous and
merlted fame because he can make
home runs. That's the one big. power
fpl, all-ahsorblpg reason why a 49,
lion or SO extra folks have been at
tracted to Yankee games this year
who wouldn't have paid out hard
cash but for Ruth.
They're Satisfied.
II they see Babe make homer
they consider their money well spent.
They have something to talk about
They have observed the mighty Ruth
accumulate another four Dagger and
added to his already swollen world
l!record.
Ruth doesn't get many good balls
to hit at. I'd be almost sare IN as
sorting that he has made homer in
a third OF the good ones which hays
been thrown his way all season That
statement may be shaded one way or
the other, but it's close to the trurn.
Pitchers hard him difficult balls to
hit. dink up slow ones to him, peg
them high or low or far to one side.
Then. too, he is purposely passed
| time after time.
His Chief Aim.
He stands up there. handling the
war club as 1t was fail and con-
siders 1t d happy day II in four or
five times ut the plate he has one
ball thrown that is in there
II any other player In either league
slugged away at the ball ut all times
as Ruth does he would be called a
'grandstand player"
His chief aim In baseball life this
year 10 to establish nome run ,--
cord that may never be broken (eyen
by himself) or even approached. ana
because he is making good with a
vengeance, the American public APP
plauds him. $3.50
There never has been nor never
will be another character in baseball
like him. Here's another strong state
ment, but it certainly is true regard
ing the past. Ty Cobb was great, but
his reputation and fame never came
anywhere near that OF Ruth's.
What the Fans Like.
The fans love man who can do
things better than anyone else. The
home run Ia the biggest thing in
baseball. It Is the spectacular feature
which small boys talk about IN awe.
ana which hardened fans greet with
shouts and waving arms.
It's Just Ruth's good fortune to be.
the greatest home run getter OF all
times, and while the going is good

crowds and Babe is getting his name.
