can make mistakes in their judgment
Of ball players.
Pitcher John Watson ~. the New
York Giants is delighted that Co q
Mack was unable to see him as a
pitcher and after a thorousl trial sent
him back to the minors.
Watson some years ago was secured
by Mack from the Eastern League. At
that time Comics pitching staff was
in such a shape that any pitcher who
could simply throw the ball had a
chance.
Watson met with some success and
much failure as a member of the Ath-
letics. Perhaps his most noteworthy
feat was the pitching Of a double
header. He lost both games but by
close scores. Watson seemed TO have
plenty of stuff but, according to Mack.
didn't learn fast enough and he was
shunted TO the minors.
Fate first frowned and then smiled
on Watson. He came back to the ma
iors as a member of the Bosto Braves.
In the spring of the year when the
Braves seemed destined for the cellar,
McCiraw bought Watson.
Since joining New York, Watson
has pitched great ball ana is now on
the high road to prosperity. -.-.--...

How 10 Train for
Bicycle Racing

One could not, in an article OF this
nature, lay down strict rules that
would be beneficial to everyone, for
in training. for racing the trainer
should take in account the wide diff
ference between individuals and act ac-
cordingly TO what is most helpful for
each particular rider. What is good
for one may be harmful to another.
Common sense should rule.
Three essential points can, however,
be borne in mind by the racing cyclist.
First-Keep your bowels and stom-
ach in good condition.
Second-Avoid haste and overwork.
Third-Learn to control your BIZ
cycle.
Before starting training for race,
take a good mild laxative, followed
by a couple of days of rest; eat plenty
of good wholesome food but do not
overeat. Leading authorities no long
err recommend a strict training diet.
Stale or toasted bread is better than
fresh or homemade; baked potatoes
are more digestible than in any other
form. Fried potatoes-in fact. any
fried food in any form-should be
avoided. You should drink plenty
of water and milk--coffee is not bene-
fetal. A well cooked menu of simple
foods is the secret of best training.
The best of athletes have off days,
so don't be discouraged, keep good
hours. get regular sleep. and with
proper training. eating and care, a be-
ginner will soon find whether he is
fit and able to stand the racing game.
This is the last of n series OF ar
ticles on bicycle racing, published 10

ineligible squads of the university dur
ing the last football season.
Coach Stewart, who is now max
ing preparations to take over the foot
ball squad and start preliminary train
ing as soon as the men arrive in Aus
tin, expressed the desire to have q
large squad on hand.
Il want a large squad" the coach
said, $50 that every man will work
for his place"
The coach would make no predic.
ton as TO the kind of team he expects
to turn out. due to the fact that he
is not familiar with the material
which will be available.
But il Texas does not put out a
good team, steps should be taken to
Stewart declared. 1.-The University o.
Texas is a first-class institution. II
has a large number of men to draw
from, and it should put out teams
which are strong in comparison with
other universities Of this size. If il
does not do this, the ia t is. either
with the coach or with the material
which he has at his disposal"
All students who have had the op-
portunity of talking with the new
coach are enthusiastic. They are
looking forward to q year of athletics
in which the university will give a
good account of herself, even though
she does not win all the games on her
unusually hard schedule.

members of the Longhorn squad of last

Win Tennning Thriller; Play Last Game Home Sunday
ScandaI!!!

Scandal reared its ugly head in the
ranks of the San Antonio Bears Sat-
urday.
Dewey Marshall, Bear pitcher, init
mated that he was awaiting only his
lawyers decision on whether he can
legally prosecute in this state on n
charge of conspiracy to operate a con-
fidence game, the charge on which the
Chicago Black Sox were tried, before
making formal charges against his
teammate, Guy Morrison, and two
Fort Worth pitchers, Ross and Conk-
wright.
Marshall charges Morrison, Ross
and Conkwright with entering into a
conspiracy Friday afternoon to de-
fraud Marshall of three dollars and of
endangering the life and health of said
Marshall, and the lives of all the San
Antonio players and the spectators
present at the game.
He alleges that Ross and Conk-
wright laid the ball in the groove" in
the second, third and fifth innings of
Fridays game when their confederate,
Morrison. came to bat. thereby en-
aiding Morrison TO make three hits
and increase his batting average 81
points to $50.
Marshall further alleges that. though
he feels sure some errors have been
made in tabulation, his own average
is shown officially at less than .U75.
He declares that he and Morrison
had entered into n solemn agreement
that the one with the better batting
average at the end of the season would
be treated to a chicken dinner to cost
approximately $3.50 per plate.
Thus. he says. the alleged conspir-
acy Friday to enable Morrison TO gain
a commanding lead of some hundred
points on Morrison was in reality a
scheme TO defraud him Of So. which he
might otherwise have saved and still
have been in one chicken dinner.
The lives of San Antonio players
and fans were endangered by the al
legged conspiracy. it is said. because Of
the shock of three hits in one day by
Morrison.
Marshall is considering putting the
matter before Judge lands. who is
now in Texas and might be persuaded
to come here for a personal investiga-
ton.

BABE RUTH is TO

Awful Slump All That Can

Copyrght. by the San Antonio Light.
New York. Sept. This may not
be Babe Ruth's year to win cham
pionship but the conditions all favor
the eminent farmer as the big breeze
Of American league batters IN 1923.
After all home-run championships
are not worth much more than 20 ner
cent of league CHAMPIONSHIPS. The
latter have real distinction. It's pure
white diamond against one of off color.
Speaker and Heilmann are both IN
the running and Ruth may be knock

he is.
And who else is in the select class
with Ruth, Speaker and Heilmann
None other than little joey Sewell oil
Cleveland and Jameson of the same
club. Jameson outhit Sewell in 1872
by 1913 TO 200. This year Jameson
is humping the ball around 1860 and
Sewell is .375 kid. with 10S hits or
Whereabouts to help him TO greatness.
Those who reckon on the ability o:
ball players say joey is an uncertain
kid bobbing around short. Maybe be is.
He broke into the big show with a
world series impending, which was
enough for any ballflayer to fight foy
life. If he can keep on hitting around
.375, how are you going TO keep him
out.
Eddie Collins is up n mile this year
and Ty Cobb isn't. One thing and
another has bothered Ty and he is
down TO the $50 class. There are about
1000 batters in all time who never
got to the 800 class, so why should
hc worry?
There isn't anything familiar about
the top of the batting list in the Ma
tional league except HOrnsby. lie
hasn't played 100 games this season.
Another chap on the st. Louis club
Is likely to be up among them when
they call the roll in October and that
IS Jim Bottomley. the first basemar.
He had 800 last season. This year
he has climbed over so. and he has
