LAST ROAD TRIP ENDS WITH SATURDA Y’S GAME
PENNANT WINNERS
HERE’S THE MANAGER
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
Well. ..cation la ortr. Yon rc.rh home late Bondar night after a ledlooa and
denreaalnc ear nr boat ride, and find that you are a little at lonerheada with your-
eelf and everybody e.lae. You think of the laat handahake and envy the lucky <lo,a
who ar, .till "at play." You reeall the laat hand elaap, that long, lingering one,
rou know; and what you think about that la really no one'e builnc.i but your own—
On Monday morning you look aruund, and after the towering peake, the gliatenlng
water and the brilliant blue aky to which your eyea have become aeeualotned, the
aaphatt, the brieks. and the mortar eeero diaguatlngly drab and dingy. If there la a
fellow who ever returned from a good vacation and didn’t have a large-aired grouch
for a day or two that fellow ia a wonder.
So says W, R. C. Latson, M.D., in Outing.
Now, on one point we take gxceptlon to the reraarka of the learned
and entertaining doctor.
A man who enjoys his work and who has taken the right kind of a
vacation ought to come back keen for work.
By the right kind of a vacation Is meant one that is a total change.
Is there anything better than camping out to rest a tired man?
There's plenty of work, but it isn’t like what faces you at the office. If
It is the right kind of a trip, you do your own cooking, row your own
boat and live and work In the big outdoors.
. But we never went on such a trip, and we doubt If any normal man
ever did, that we did not welcome the time of the home-coming—a comfort
able bed that somebody else made up and three home-cooked meals a day.
And work! Well, if there 1s one thing you pine for it is that old desk
Here the photographer hae
caught Fred Clarke, manager of
the Pittsburg Pirates, now mak
ing a runaway race of U for the
National league pennant, just as he
lined out a safe hit In a recent
game with the New York Olants.
Clarke has thrown the bat aside
and Is off In a rush for first. The
man behind the bat Is "Admiral'
Schlel, of the Giant team.
That’s What Atkins and
His Teammates Do to
Travelers.
Little Rook, Ark., Sept. 3.—The stren*
uously successful representatives of the
Gate City of the South, headed by that
. grim and' determined chief, William
Andrew Smith, opened their last series
of their last road trip of 1903 here
yesterday afternoon with a comprehen
sive and conclusive victory over the
Little Rock players, score 3 to 1.
The pitchers were Bill Hart, the vet
eran, and Tommy Atkins, the kid, and
It was not the first time that these
extremes of a go had faced each other,
tho It was the first time that youth
had.triumphed over old age.
Tommy Atkins went thru all the mo
tions of securing a victory by tho
whitewash route. He did his full part
In preventing the Travelers from tally
ing. An error by Al Newton let one
Traveler home. The only other At
lanta error did not figure In the scor-
I Ing, and outside of those two mlsplays
the Crackers backed the little twlrler
up as tho they meant business, which
they probably did.
The team In this game showed none
of the effects of a hard road trip, and
that patched-up line-up worked well,
save for the exceptions named.
The Little Bock team, also somewhat
of a patched-up aggregation (but not
getting away with It very well), played
the awfullest kind of a game. Jones,
the new man secured at great expense,
time, trouble, thought and dickering
from the Western association, played
like a shoemaker. As bad luck would
have It, he had eleven chances handed
to him nnd of the number he missed
three. That the blunders were not all
made by the youngsters is indicated by
the two errors that Flood uncorked.
Grady, the man who succeeded
"Scoops" Carey, also made one blun
der.
It Is not to be Judged, however, that
the Travelers were utterly helpless.
They played some pretty fair baseball
by fits and spasms. They let the Crack
ers make a run In the first, and then
It looked as tho they were going to
hold them dangerously close. How
ever, in the last two innings the Trav
eler defense, wabbly enough at best,
gave way a bit more and a couple more
Atlanta runs spilled thru. The Trav
elers scored onrte In the last of the
eighth, but never looked dangerous.
Bayless was out of the game, and so
the honor of scoring the first run. so
often his, fell to Winters.
It was a run of the conventional or
der, scored under Method No. 1 of the
"How to Play Baseball'’ book. Win
ters singled, McMurray sacrificed him
to Second and he scored,on Sid Smith's
single. Nothing iiuld be simpler than
that was. Any team that can get the
hits at the right time and knows the
rudiments of sacrificing can put ’em
over that way. The wonder Is thnt
they don't score more by that nifty
method.
The Crackers tried to .go ahead scor
ing In the first. The next piny after
Winters scored resulted in the first of
the errors of the unhappy Jones—Jones
of the Western association, by gosh.
But Al Newton failed In his effort to
contribute a hit, and the Travelers did
not make any more errors for the mo
ment, and the scoring ceased tempora
rily, only to break out again In the
eighth.
Then Method No. 17 of the "Simpli
fied Scoring System" was trotted out
and used to perfection. The way It
works Is that the first man gets a base
on balls, the next one sacrifices. Then
the next man Is supposed to get a hit.
If he doesn't the base runner is sup
posed to advance on the out. Then tho
next man singles and the run Is made.
Perfectly and absurdly simple, Isn’t It?
Lee was the man who walked for At
lanta. Jordan offered the sacrifice.
Newton furnished the out on which Lee
went to third. Then young Hyder Barr
bingled and another run had been
scored—and the game won. j
The last run was not scored by any
of the old, reliable methods. With one
out. MeMurray walked. Smith lit Into
The other articles of the doctor's post-vacation faith are worth sub
scribing to the year round.
, "Exercise moderately."
No mat) who is doing hard mental work Is fit for hard physical work.
But have a hobby of some kind, be it golf or chess, stud-poker or football.
‘Don't go at. It too hard. But have something that, yanks your mind
clear off business when you are at home. /*' ■'
If you don’t play any games in the outdoors, take short, snappy walks.
Don't do It lmmedltaely after meals, and you will get benefit from them.
"Eat lightly," says the doctor. And he might well have added, "Chew
it thoroughly." Eat little and eat It slowly. Don't mske too big a thing
of eating. Don’t worry If you skip a meal now and then. There Is nothing
like it to keep your appetite up. ,
These are a few of the secrets of living right—that is, right In a physi
cal way: ,
Breathe deep, eat lightly and exercise moderately.

Some rather good exercises are suggested by Dr. Latson which are
worth trying. Here they are: *
The best way to rela*x Is to remove most of the clothing, lit Sat on-the floor and
roll pver and over Ural in one direction and then ihe other.
Another exercise which will be found of great value In resting and relaxing
cramped muscles Is the following: Stand easily with feet slightly apart. Exhale
the breath in a gentle sigh, at the same time letting the head fall limply forward on
the cheat. Now allow the neck and body to follow the movement, while the arma
hang loosely at the aides. Bend lower and lower until the hanging finger tips are
near the floor.
Then, without holding the position, at once begin to straighten up until the erect
position haa been regained. In thla exercise it la important that the knees should
bo held firmly back, hut In all other respects the muscles are entirely relaxed. The
leu effort made, the better will be the results.
First try this: Stand easily, take a full hreath. at the same time raising the
arms. Then, holding the breath, stretch firmly towsim 1h8 relflng, Imitating the action
of an ordinary yawn accompanied by a stretch. After a few moments of firm stretch*
Ing relax the muscles, lower the arms and exhale the breath.. Exactly how you do
this matters little. You can vary It in any way, stretch in any direction that suits.
After a dozen of such deep yawns, try the swinging‘breath. Inhale' the breath,
twinging the arms straight up In front of you until-thvy, are over the head, and ex
hale as they come down. Do this quite rapidly and' with at much eage and awing at
possible. It is the ease that counts. " .

served the full term of his enlistment,
rising tffthe highest non-commissioned
rank and getting an honorable dis
charge.
Dunkhorst's fines physical develop
ment soon won for him a place as
physical director In the army and he
, had charge for a long time of the big
gymnasium at the presidio In San
Francisco. At the time Dunkhorst was
there something like 5,000 soldiers
were stationed at that place. Part of
hts duties was to put on the gloves with
;iany of these men who felt inclined;to
box nnd battles by the thousands were
fought by this big soldier. Of course
, they were only “for fun,” but a sol
dier's Idea of fun Is to knock out the
physical director, and Dunkhorst had
some tremendous battles. However, as
he weighed something over 200 pounds
he held his own.
Constant boxing with all kinds of
scrappers made a decidedly shifty
proposition out of this Dunkhorst. He
learned all the tricks of the trade and
some that aren't regularly in tho^trade,
like rough and tumble fighting, jlu
jitsu and the like.
Young Dunkhorst can certainly out
box his Wyoming opponent. He is the
man with the cleverness and In addi
tion he hus the weight. But he has
none of the terrible aggressiveness of
the Cheyenne Cougar and Is likely to
be on the defensive. He has trained
