NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
As a general proposition tho sporting department does not
feel, except at meal time, a consuming interest in the science of
dietetics.
Bt\,t he recently found much of interest jn a reprint from
The Yalo Medical Journal entitled “Tho Influence of Flesh Eat
ing on Endurance,” by IrvingFisher.
This volnme was more “thrust upon him” than “acquir
ed.” It came in with a stack of mail and looked too scientific
for the editor of the back page. So, without looking at the title,
the sporting department laid it quietly on the managing edi
tor’s desk.
In an hour it wns back. Obviously that was the “wrong
pew,” so the 1 volume went next—and with all secrecy—to the
city editor’s desk.
This time it took about an hour to work back.

Just for the fun Of the thing. These

I The drawings In the tournament will

In the city club and the program will

rangement of matches Is not definitely
decided as yet, but It Is certain that
play will start—barring rain—at
o’clock Friday afternoon. The singles
will* be started firs: and the doubles
os fast as possible. There will be more
courts In commission than there will
be matches In any round and It will
not take long to thin down the entry

be secretary and treasurer and the
doubles winners will be the llrst and
second vice presidents.

Intercollegiate tennis tournament ever
After that wo knew that the task of losing it wns hope
less, but five times we threw it into the waste basket and
once we threw it out the window.
And always it returned.
So in desperation we read it and found it interesting.
And now that we want it, in order that we may write
about it, tho pamphlet him disappeared and is, of course, gone
forever.
Where the sporting department “gets in” is that tho ques
tion of endurance is one of the greatest interest to all athletes
and what interests them interests us.
Boiling down the 16 pagas of the pamphlet to one sen
tence it is: A non-flesh or nearly non-flesh diet is more condu
cive to endurance than a full-flesh diet.
This is surprising to the general run of people who asso
ciate a good beefsteak diet with endurance as well as strength.
But a long series of testa were made and the vegetarian
athletes smeared it all over the meat eaters at such Stunts as
holding the arms horizontally, deep knee bending and*1eg rais
ing.
At the first named stunt * Battle Creek phenomenon held
his arms horizontally 200 minutes and then had not reached
the limit of endurance. Try it yourself for five and see how
you like* it. The best any meat eater did was 22 minutes.
Well, what of itt

performers stack up against a non-meat bill of fare.
When that day comes your vegetarians will be pitching
double-headers every day for a week and McGiifnity’s record
will look ns though it were made by a tissue paper man.
In the meantime the sporting department will continue to
to eat meat three times n day whenever possible, and take its
chances on the endurance proposition.

Rain Saves the Travelers
From Castleton’s Vengeance
They couldn't play baseball at Lit
tle Rock Tuesday—which was nice for
Little Rock, because Billy Smith had
slated Castleton to pitch and had al
ready derided that the game waa as
good as won.
However, Billy Is still holding the
Tankee-Mormon southpaw over the
heads'of Mike Finn's revivified tribe,
and trouble will hit the Travelers Wed
nesday, sure, unless rain prevents.
That was a line dream somebody over
In Little Rock had.
According to the story. Billy Smith
signed himself as a player and when he
cut down his team to the limit, as he
had to do May 10, he had no right to
himself without getting walv-
1 The question now arises, In regard
to tho writer of the story—was It
opium or was It hasheesh?
For any school child ought to know
that the waiver rule does not hold for
absolute releases, which Is what Smith
handed himself when he got out of the
game as a playing manager.
If Smith wanted to sell himself to
Macon or Augusta he would have to get
waivers from the other Southern
League teams. He can, however, re
lease himself or any other man on his
team outright whenever he wants to.

The Tech-Mercer game of April 12,
won by Mercer, will not count In the
rocs for the college championship of
Georgia and will probably be flayed
over again.
’ Tech received news Tuesday morn
ing which has had the effect of put
ting her stock away up In the raco for
the Georgia state championship. This
was a ruling from President Pulliam,
of the National League, on the protest
which was entered Immediately after
the game with Mercer at Macon on
April 12.
It will be remembered that a de
cision of the umpire In that game al
lowed Mercer to score two runs, and
as the decision was one based on
"rules” and not "Judgment,” a protest
was entered, with the approval of tho
Mercer team.
The facts were as follows:.
With one out and runners on first
nnd second, the batter (for Mercer) hit
a pop fly, which fell within a few
feet of the pitcher’s box. The man on
second ran off toward third, and ns
soon as the ball was picked pp It was
played and he was touched before he
reached third. Lafitte, as Tech cap
tain, claimed that the man should be
out, but the umpire held that he should
be allowed to return to the base, as he
did not hear the umpire call the hit
an "Infield fly,” which put the baiter
out. Mercer scored two runs In that
Inning.
After the game tho Umpire prepared
a statement of the facts, and this state,
ment was Indorsed by Captain Lafitte
for Tech and Captain Kendrick, of
Mercer, and then sent to President Pul. I
llam for his decision, As stated abort]
he decided the game should be throat
out, which gives Tech to date a rl«
record, with three wide and no defeats I
In case Tech should take both gama,
from Georgia this week this game sill I
probably not be played off, but shouMl
Georgia win one or both, and then via I
from Mercer on May 25, It Is morel
than probable that the game will t» I
played off In order to determine ttil
real winner of the championship. Ai I
this will give the Tech team a churn I
to use their most effective pitcher, [
Lafitte, It can be readily seen tbs
Tech's chances have been greatly bet-
tered by this decision of President Pul-1
llam.
In the meantime Tech Is practicing I
hafd and will use every effort to lull'
at least one. If not both, of the samre j
this week from Georgia. A mass meet
ing of the student body was held Mon-
day and another Is called for Thursday I
to be aure that the rooters nre out Is |
force both Friday and Saturday.
On Saturday both teams will probt-
bly have a band, steps having ahead! |
been taken to secure music for the con
test by Tech students. Efforts nre al»4 I
being made to secure the Firemen's I
drum corps, so that there Is lots of mu-1
sic, noise and enthusiasm promised rw
the games. These 'will undoubtedly w I
