Pl9n Physical Training
For Business Men
Continued from page one)


exercise is one Of the greatest handi-
caps with which the business man
meets. The merchant in his close
store, the clerk over his desk, using
only about onc-third OF the muscles
God gave him is not getting the most
out of life. His system is not working
Thoroughly; in short, he is not fully
alive.
On all the great cities, gvmnasiums
offer the chance for physical develop
ment and conditioning which keeps a
man fit TO use his brain to the best
adv; htage. Here in St. Johnsbury,
how liver, we have little or no oppor-
tun ty to keep ourselves fit. With
this condition of affairs in mind, Capt.
Che hey has obtained permission from
the acknowledgement of the state to
thr Nv open the almory to a class of
bu fness men who feel that after their
de = work little toning up would be
&c bd for them.
I'm order that the work may be
c rried on properly, Sgt. Mcclure of
{ %. u, has offered to take charge of
och a class. Mr.. Mcclure has had
jcarS of experience in this work IN
the British Army, shapin~ recruits IN
TO the hardened. quick-think;ng figh+-
ing men for whom muscular strength
?nd absolute coordination meant the
difference between life and death on
the fields of Flanders. His work he
ran rs a oymnaStic instructor in 1902.
In 1915 he took a three months
special course in physical training at
North Camp, Aldcrshot, ENGLAND, and
another at EtalpS, France, headquar-
tiers of the First British Army Corps
THE plan is 10 give a course of
Il lessons. The idea is not to carry
the work to the strenuous lengths
necessary TO build fighting men, but
TO adapt it to the needs of those who,
as the years 60 by, are with dismay
finding their breath shorter and their
Wristbands longer than they really
care TO admit To build up the APP
pctItcs TO the point where the even
ing meal is something to which one
looks forward and not a matter Of
routine, and the doWny couch is q
place for ingin% peaceful hymns of
praise for eight hours. instead Of
wcarily planning the next days cam
paign after a vain cndcayor to put
oneself to sleep by counting the end
less sheep jumping over the fence.
Major Tinker most heartily APP
proved this plan and when consulted
as a member of the board of Armory
commissioners, declared that he felt
such move would be benefit to the
town.

TIGERS DEFEAT FLORENCE TEAM IN CLOSE CAME

Crapdalls Tigers were given some thing to worry about when they play ed Florence Independents at Eastlake park yesterday afternoon. The Ari- zona champs beat a picked team of Arizona ball stars 5-3, but they failed to find anything soft in the aggre- gation from over the hill and were forced to extend themselves to the limit to win.
 Jack wonders hurled the pill for Florence and Terrill handled the ball for the Tigers. They both worked through nine innings allowing seven hits each. Wonders struck out seven men allowed two bases on balls while Terrill famed six and passed one man.
 Miller first up for Florence hit for three bases and scored on a bad stop at the plate when Scott tried to nail him on the throw In. The visitors scored again in the second inning. but Terrill held them safe until the first half of the ninth when Estrada scored. With two men on base and two down kraigbaum was called out for interference with a play running 1 into Hegi at second when the Tiger
 second sacker tried to field Wanders' 1 infield bingle.
 In the second inning with the bases 1 loaded Terrin loosened up and forced l in a run when he walked Estrada. 1 The Tigers scored two runs in the l first inning on two hits and an in- 1 field error. They came back in the l third and annexed another run and
 Land put the game on ice in the 1 seventh when he lit for three bags Two men were down and Copper was l safe on first when Land nit the long | est drive ever made to left field. The
 ball barely missed edging the fence
 and Cooper sailed home. Land scoring later on Scott's double to center field. Scotty was the hitting star of the day driving in two Tiger runs | and sacrificing in three times up.
 The game was played in l hour
 45 minutes including a short delay in
 the ninth by an argument over a 1 close decision by Umpire Gray and 1 the words ended in a row when l Kraigbaum was called out for inter- 1 ference.

Bob against Dempsey than Glib. and that is saying a mouthfuL
 Not so long ago Tommy was a middleweight. But he grew and was tutored by his brother Mike. one of the greatest middleweights that ever resined foot.
 Since Feb. 19 last Tommy has fought r battles. And he wound up every one of them with q k. O. Eight have been one round sleepers, four have been two rounders, three three rounders, and one four round CT. The only guy to stick any length of inc was Porlley Flynn; he stayed for Il rounds last April.
 There is no trick to how Gibbons does it. He is quick, light and scien- tific Where Dempsey uses strength to break through a guard, Gibbons uses speed.

 He is business all the way through, in the ring and out He is out to win, and that's half his success at kayo- ing.

OVERLOOKED

It seems that the Athletic rules committee has overlooked some of the finer points in formulating a parking place for the beefer's mitts in the wrestling game
 They have eliminated the toe, head and strangle-holds, but they've over looked such important other ones as tickling.
 There is the case of Pierre. the Parisian baby, who weighs about a quarter of a ton. It is well known among his opponents that their easy way out is through the Hippos ribs. and If they are getting the worst of a match, all they need to do is to poke finger in the Frenchman's s side and tickle him out of the money.

Coyote-EI Paso
 High Grid Game
 On November II

There will be no counter attrac- tion to interfere with the Coyotes big football game with Fl Paso high on November II as a result of the efforts of local sportmen working in conjunction with the Industrial Week committee.
 It was originally planned to hold two big days of auto races at the state fair grounds November II to 12, but through the efforts of w w Lawhon. Claude Decatur Jones, Celo- "a Stoddard, Pidge Pinney and Shir- ley Christy arrangements were made to hold the races November and 12 leaving Armistice day open to the gridiron stars. Local enthusiasts will cooperate with the high school boys and the American Legion to make November Il a day long to be re- membered.
 William Pickens, manager of the Los Angeles speedway at Beverly Hills. was requested by local sports men to have Barney Oldfield post pone his race program one day or start the races one day earlier and leave Armistice day open. Mir Pick ems agreed to cooperate with the To- cal committee and Barney Oldf;eld's S race program will be held on Novem- Der and F.
 The Coyotes will be at their best by November Il and the clash with Fl Paso high should be the greatest ex- hibition of football ever staged in the Salt River Valley.
 Coach Robinson's men have played three games and showed rare form in every game. Robinson is watching the team play closely and all weak spots will be plugged before the Fl Paso High game.

 Although he has the courage. Al ger really lacks one quality which the champion pugilist must possess. He lacks the punchi Whites piston like arms were the personification of power. If Alger had been a real rough, rugged young fellow with a kick that caused his opponents to collapse he would have had an out side chance As it was White gave him both a boxing lesson and a fin ishing course in the art of fighting.
 "Of course, Alger lost his head, carried the fight to White and there by made a fatal mistake in his tac- tics, but even if he had fought more cautiously and sagaciously the result would not have been any different. Algo~ should have permitted White to do the leading. He acted on the principle that he must knock out White quickly or lose the contest. He fought and lostl
 .eWhite's left hook was his offen- sive member Alger was on his guard.
 He was conscious that this was Whites dangerous blow. In his anxiety to dodge and cover from the Chicago boys left fire of course he made openings for Whites powerful right.
 "No one criticized Aqer for
 'resigning' between the third and
 fourth rounds. His refusal to re-
 spond was a natural thinq to do.
 White had taken all the fight out of him. He did the manly thing in acknowledging his adversary's su- periority and saving himself from un- necessary punishment. This action doesn't coincide with the brutal in stincts of the mob but. after all is said. it doesn't savor of bad sports manship It was quite the proper thing to do.
 White was expert in picking holes in AIgers defense. The Chicago He brew fought solely for Alger's head. He didn't pay any particular atten- ton to his torso White was a mas ter in sticking his glove through his adversary's block works It was only a matter of time when he would get a system shocked through to the jaw or neck or some other vulnerable part. Alger obligingly gave him these openings in his offensive fury.
 "AH in all, the battle reminded sportsmen with d barn yard chicken fighting a game cock, armed with spurs It wasn't good match, The boxers were unequally yoked to- gether.
 "As for Alger's pugilistic reputa- tion, may it rest in peace. An anna teur cant defeat a professional un- less the tyro has qualities that Alge1 does not possess.
 White proved himself to be very efficient in reducing exaggerated egos.
 "As for Alger, the lesson he learned will do him good. He may now be on the right road to fame and for tune as a fighter He must forget his past, change his style and learn all over again under the bes masters.
