BY PERCY H. WHITING.
It has long been a theory of the founder of this column that the same
mental characteristics which make a successful college athlete make a
man successful In public life.
Football and baseball games of this day are not wbn by strength and
speed alone—they are played with the head—as well, and a man who has
not a swift-acting brain and determination can not hope to succeed, no
matter wbat his body Is.
And these same characteristics of quick thinking and determination
will make a man equally successful In the big games of politics and busl-
In the current number of Recreation was an article on famous college
athletes who have made good In public life. This so exactly agrees with
our views that part of It Is here presented, with the recommendation that
all who are Interested get the magazine and read the article all the way

themselves to he of virile aervlce to the world that needs their kind. Many of them art
to be found in various fields of public service, not only because of their intrinsic merit,
but alao because their athletic experience peculiarly fitted them to toll for the common

have been- taught to differ radically with tH> politician who views public offica aa pri

and clean, to apply the rigid codd of ethics of the campus and the training table.
Several years ago roilege football waa In grave need of a thorough house-cleaning.
There waa much rough play and violation of thtr rules, and it waa the general opinion
that there could he no great improvement without radical legislation. The officials
appointed to referee and umpire the most important games seemed powerless to hold the
situation in check. At length one ”B111” Edwarda. late of Princeton, 'appeated aa a
newcomer among the umpires. He waa n very massive, quiet-mannered young man whom
Tale recnUeii.with.the. most poignant emotions, for he had bean right guard of a Prince

peated the bitter dose in the following year. Aa an umpire this formidable ••Hill” Ed
vards won such generous praise as to mske him blush. He enforced the rules without
fear or favor and showed that the faults of the game lay somewhat at the door of the
officials. It waa a grown man’s job and Edwarda handled himself aa a person of back
bone and iron determination. For the rest of the year he devoted himself to the leas
bellicose business of insurance and traded not at all on hia athletic proweas.
It happens that Mayor McClellan, of New York, is a Princeton man and aa auch
had crossed the trail of “Big Bill” Edwarda and found in him qualities to admire. He
was, therefore, plessed to indorse hi* appointment as deputy street cleaning commis
sioner under Commissioner Foster Crowell. As a deputy, Edwards hustled with such
excellent results that the mayor marked him for promotion. Last winder it became
necessary to seek a new head for the street cleaning department and tha mayor shelved
all political considerations in finding a man’to fill this, one of the most important posts
of hia administration. Ills choice fell on ”Bill” Edwarda. to the profane dismay of

Edwarda took the position, hut not at all In the spirit which Richard Croker
framed in words as his guiding policy when he confessed on- the witness stand in tha
Lexow investigation: '"I waa in politics working for my own pocket all the tima, same
as you and everybody else.” ____
One of the early Incidents of tha caretr of Edwarda as commissioner upset all prec
edent and made the aldermen blink. Under the preceding regime tha autn of $140,000
had been appropriated for repewing the equipment of the densrtment. After looking
the situation over and taking stoek for his own Information; Edwards notified the city
officials that ha really didn’t need to spemd this money and he “guessed be could get
along without it.” This waa hia notion of playing the game fair, and a fat opportunity
for wasting the city'* money seemed to mske no appeel to hia proaiae football
nation.

In selecting hia deputy commissioner, Edwards waa no more conventional. Instead
of finding a man who knew somethin* about street cleaning and politics in combination,
he persuaded "Jim” Hogan, of Yala, to leave his berth in the office of Henry L. 8tlm-
son. United State* attorney for the southern district of Now York. Now, Hogan was a
brighter football atar even than Edwarda. In fact he waa regarded aa one of the moat
masterful tackles of the lsst decade, a truly Homarie figure who tore thru the ranks of
Princeton and Harvard with cyclonic effect. He played on the Yale eleven for three
years, and waa captain In 1903 when neither Princeton nor Harvard waa able to score
agsinst his embattled gladiators. Hogan went Into the street cleaning department to
do hia honeat best, his chief qualifications an Invincible grit and courage and a knack of
handling men. He had learned to work hard in college, where he. supported himself for
four years by toil of various kinds, and there waa small riak of his damaging hia Iron-
i clad constitution hy long hours at hia desk or out among the brigade of "white wings.
Edwards had not been long In the department when he showed the scoffers that It
takes braina as*well aa trnuole to make a good football player. He unearthed a costly
system of graft by which the city waa being cheated in ita outlay for the removal of
snow by means of fraudulent tickets used In paying per cartload for the material re
moved. Thia waa first blood for "Bill” Edwards snd he went after the grafters hammer
and tonga, political favorites ha hanged, In-much the same fashion aa he had umpired
the destinies o( the football field. He waa handicapped in this investigation by the
terms of the agreement previously made with' tha snow contractors, and the city club
criticised hia methods and reaulta In a singularly captions gplrlt. Edwarda plowed
along in hia own ponderous way, however, unruffled, resolute, loyally supported by Jim
Hogan, who said of their work together, while hia blue eyes flashed and his aquare-hewn
Jaw appeared particularly determined:
"Discipline, the trick of handling man, hard work, these era the main factors in
keeping the streata clean. Edwarda and I are not in our offices very much. >\e be
lieve in following the ball. The city gives ua men and money enough ami it ia up*to
us to make good or take our medicine. So far as roy work goes In the Borough of
Manhattan I ran say that tha politicians have kept their hands off and that the city gov
ernment Is backing me up in good shape. It ia mighty Interesting wotk and I like it.
So does Edwards. Yes, football training ia valuable when a man haa to handle e big
thing like this. Team work and loyalty are the things that count.”
This army of sweepera and tcamstera commanded by Bill Edwards and Jim
Hogan haa a wholesome respect for their physical prowess which helps toward efficient
aervlce. An order delivered by e young man with a solid pair of shoulders, a chest like
a barrel, and the reputation of phenomenal ability In standing other herculean young
men on their heads, ia likely to be obeyed without argument.

Sporting Editor of The Georgian:
Dear Sir—Would appreciate your
views or decision In the following:
In the Savannah-Augusta series
played in the former city last week. A.
bet on Savannah. B. on Augusta, each
game of the series. Augusta won the
first and Savannah the second. As you
remember. Savannah had the last game
4 to 2 in the eighth Inning, when Au
gusta was forced to forfeit the game,
as two of her men were put out of the
game and Augusta didn’t have men
enough to continue the game.
Does the game being forfeited cancel
the bet or does A., betting on Savannah,
win the stakes?
Thanking you kindly, yours truly,
X. Y. 2.
The bet is not cancelled and A. wins.
Sporting Editor Georgian
Supposing a baseman has the ball, in
play, in his possession and a base run
ner on the base, the baseman, in trying
to fool the runner, throws a rock to the
pitcher, in place of the ball, what is the
rule covering this?
Thanking you In advance.
JOHN W. JACOBS.
We find no rule in the book forbid
ding the-baseman from throwing rocks
at the pitcher and are Inclined to think
that he got away with it. It is'not too
late for the pitcher to have the base-
man arrested, for disturbing the peace.

THE PRESIDENT’S GOLF.
Walter J. Travis, who recently played
a same of golf with Preeldent Taft at
Chevy Chase, Washington, haa thia tc
say regarding the president’* game In
the June laaue of The American Golfer:
"Of courae, what every goiter wants
to know la what aort of a game Mr.
Taft playa. , If the prealdent will par
don me, I do not really think he would
have much chance In qualifying In one
nf our amateur champlnnahtpa, but fnt
all that he play* a very sound gam",
one free from bad fault* of any kind
• • • far better than the average
‘duffer,’ both In atyle and reaulta. Mr.
Taft, In hia modeaty, aome little time
ago deacrlbed hit game aa being of the
bumble-puppy order. Thia la alto
gether wrong, and quite mlaleadlng.
Unlike moat golfer* who are not In the
front rank*, he play* every atroke In
good form, ♦ • • haa nbthlng tc
’unlearn’ or correct and needa only
aortic ateady practice to develop a
atrong game. Aa it waa, he went
round Chevy Choae In the plnetlea,
with aome bad holea—a 9, for InBtam o,
on the aeventh (460 yards) due to on
indifferent tee shot, followed by 'hard
luck’ In striking a tree on what would
otherwise have been a'very good bras-
sey shot. This la not at all bad, cer
tainly not bumble-puppy golf, especial
ly when It la considered that the course
at Chevy Chaae ta nearly 8,000 yards
In length and that the hazard* are,
for the moat part, designed to penalize
the poor play of the average golfer and
are not aimed at the player of claps.
They are largely survivals of bunker*
which were put In several years ago
during the ’guttle’ period, and are a
severe ta* upon the man who plays an
ordinarily fair game. And then, again.
Mr. Taft frittered away a number ol
strokes on the greens.”
