INDIANS COUNT ON
TAKING MEASURE OF
DALLAS SEMI-PROS
Victory-Wilsons Open
Series With Locals Sun
day Afternoon.

The Alamo-Peck Indians, nothing
daunted by the overwhelming record
of consecutive victories which the
Victory-Wilson team of Dallas has
behind it, are ready not only to bat
tie them to a standstill but to send
them back without a sriff at the
semi-pro title of the state which they
are seeking in the Alamo City Sun
day and Labor Day. Three games
are scheduled on these two days at
Schwab Field between the Braves and
the Dallas club.
There will be nothing easy about
the series and the Indians realize
that they have strong combination
to turn back defeated. Jimmy Ma
loney, once pilot of the Dallas Giants
in 19OS-09, has not lost game for
the Dallas club since he has taken
the managership and, before that, the
team lost only three games. He
believes in big men and big men
is what he is bringing to San An
tonic. with one or two exceptions.
His team looks more like hefty foot
ball combination than Il baseball team
but it does not lack ability or speed
in the least. Several of them might
be playing league ball if they liked.
Both the teams are representative
of their sections of the STATE and
they both lay claim to the state semi
pro title. The Alamo-Peck Indians,
through virtue of their taking the
series with the Del Rio Cowboys last
Saturday and Sunday cain. TO be
champions of Southwest Texas. and
the Victory Wilson team claims TO
be the champion of North Texas. They
are also members of the major city
league" in Dallas the title of which
they won with ease. and most OF
their players were seiected on the
all-city team by a Dallas paper.
Schwab's Indians VIII appear with
their usual lineup in this game. with
probably Brought, ScLreub. Mathews
and Stair coming in for n share OF
mound duty. The Victcry-Wilson crew
has an alright hurting gang in T.
Polvogt. Flowers. Deputy and TURTLE.
Polvogt works OH an average of five
games week in Dallas and he prob
ably will be called or for duty in
the first game Sunday and perhaps
again before the end of the series
Taylor, the sensational fielder and
hitter on the Dallas aggregation. is
also good for mound per ormance when
called on.
Everything considered, there will be
a bigger mixup of good talent in this
game than has appeared at any time
during the season at 'chwab Field,
and Indian fans will get 4 chance to
see n good trio of games. The first
game of the series will DE played Sun
day ut 2 80 o'clock. On Labor Day

CHAMPION SWIMMERS
HEART AILMENT HAS
LESSON FOR YOUTHS
Too Much Athletic Compe-
tition as Bad as Not
Enough.
BY ROBERT EDGREN.

The illness OF Johnny Weissmuller,
the worlds greatest swimmer, gives a
needed warning to thousands of young
sters in athletics who would like 10
rival Weissmuller's exploits.
Ever since he began to break worlds
records, Johnny has been in great de-
mand at aquatic meets. He had trav-
eled all over the country and has
competed often. His races are always
advertised as attempts TO break rec
ords. and he has broken all records
up to half a mile, and some over that
distance.
July 4 Weissmuller swan in five
races. advertised as attempts to break
records. The strain was terrific. I'm
mediately afterward he became sick,
and the doctors diagnosed the case as
heart valve leakage caused by over
strain. Now it seems possible that
Weismuller may never be able to swim
in a race again. II be does go on
swimming in races and attempting TO
break records he may cause serious
complications. A leaky heart is no
Joke.
Many Of the worlds greatest run
ners have the same trouble. Sprinters
are especially affected by the terrific
strain of the short races. The quar-
ter mile is trying race, as it is prac-
tically a sprint all the way. Other
distances above the quarter are less
trying. until the marathon is reached.
Few athletes run more than three or
four marathons before they break
down.
Some years ago there was fad
of long distance running for school
boys. Examination Of the physical
tests given all students upon entering
college proved that too much athletic
competition in schools and high schools
is extremely injurious. frequently
star high school athletes have been
kept out of athletic sports in college
by heart strain and other injuries
caused by too much competition.
School athletic authorities are study
ing this condition and are gradually
limiting the amount Of athletic com
petition allowed.
think 1 could name scores OF pro-
feSsional boxers who started too
young and broke down under the
strain of early competition. becoming
old men physically when they should
be in their prime.
Too much athletic competition is
far worse than none at all.

officials have little idea Of what may
turn up. However. several proven
football men will enter college and
respond to the first practice call on
September 10. Among these are
Schloegel and Ailet. both of whom
played four years of high school foot
ball with Holy Cross Prep School
of New Orleans, Schloegel captaining
last years team which won the New
Orleans city high school football title.
Schloegel weighs 200 pounds and is n
versatile player. Originally a tackle,
he was used as quarterback last
year and made good. His team-matc.
Ailet. is halfback. Strong and
speedy, he was Holy Cross triple
threat man.
Meaghcr expects GO candidates to
report for the squad.
The st. Edwards coach will have
a bag full of new tricks to spring
on his opponents this fall. He spent
part OF the summer attending the
University of Illinois coaching school
and then assisted Coach Knutc Rocknc
with his Notre Dame coaching school
during August. William Gardner OF
Southwestern University. Frank
Bridges of Baylor University and
