ATHLETICS FOR ALL
That's Idea big Ten" WORKS on and
1t Succeeds.

Detroit. Mich. Oct. 6.-The claim
that none but the star athlete derives
any benefit from the elaborate ath-
letie systems in vogue at the big uni
versities nowadays is all wrong.
Indeed, according to Fielding n.
Yost. veteran athletic director at Mich
igan. it is a goshdern lie..
Mr.. Yost is one of these ardent.
eager advocates of the greatest good
for the greatest number. II he
hadn't taken NJ athletics he doubt
less would have gone into the chain
grocery store thing in serious way.
"The Middle West is setting a rec
ord in mass athletics" Mr.. Yost
says. "In the Western Conference
there are ten universities. The APP
proximate male enrolment is 45,-
coo.
"How many of this number are arn-
letically trained? The public prob
ABLY thinks that only the star foot
ballers and bnseballers get any at
tention. As n matter of fact. we have
figures to show that $1,000 students
took active part in various Kinds
OF Big Ten athletics last year and
the number will be even bigger this
year.

PITCHERS CAN HIT
UhIe, Who Does. Says All 1t Takes Is
willingness TO Try.

Cleveland. Ohio, Oct. 6.-George
Uhle. star pitcher of the Cleveland
club of the American League. Is also
a great batsman. This is rather the
exception, cs pitchers seldom shine as
hitters.
Throughout the season Uhle has
been we'll above the 300 mark and
has been instrumental in winning
many a game by his hitting coupled
with fine pitching.
There isn't any reason why pitch
ers shouldn't be able to bat well Just
as any other player. It's baseball
tradition that pitchers are not sup
posed to hit and most pitchers take
it for granted.
"Since they accept the tradition
that pitchers are not supposed to hit.
most of them pay little or no atten-
ton TO their batting. If they paid
no more attention to their pitching
they would soon lose their effective
ness on the rubber.
81 take as much pride in my bat
ting as / do my pitching. have my
batting practice regularly and l like
to take a healthy cut at every ball
that looks good. As a result. ] have
been very successful as a batsman.
"Ny case. however. is not at all
unusual. Every pitcher. If he gave as
much time and attention to his bat
ting as his pitching. would get cor
respondingly good results

shape.
Three new pistol targets at %
yards are being installed, and new
rifle target at 100 yards to give the
hunters something to get the sights in

a new 200-yard offhand target also.

with Manager Higgins I called at
tention to the possibilities and told
him that many a perfectly good ball
game that seemed won would be
lost during the summer when an or
binary single would take a high
bound and clear the low wall for
home-run. 1t didn't take long to
prove my theory. In the second or
third game of the season a visiting
player singled to right, very ordi-
nary hit, only to have the ball
bound over the wall and into the
right field pocket for home-run. 1t
nearly cost the Yankees the ball
game.
Manager Higgins admitted the
freak possibilities IN discussing the
situation, but took the sportsman's
view that the Yankees had the same
chance as the visitors TO profit. All

throw away their bod5ins, cork

radical change in skirts, but it is
significant to note that a long,
