THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: FRIDAY. MAY 31. 1912.
Track and Field Sports, if Not Abused, Bound to Benefit All Men
THE VALUE OF CLEAN LIVING IN ATHLETICS
HIS is the second of a series of articles written exclusively for The Georgian by Fred C.
T Thomson, world's champion all-around athlete, on the subject “The Value of Clean Living
in Athletics.’’
By Fred C. Thomson.
WORLD'S CHAMPION ATHLETE.
IN dealing with this subject I
must draw more from my ob
servation than from personal
experience, for as yet I xdo not
judge that 1 have come into the
after-life of an athlete.
I have heard athletics objected
to on the ground that it was a
strain. Nothing could be more
narrow. A strain? Surely it's a
strain, and therein lies whatever
of good there may be in it. And
the word "strain” I am using as it
was used to me—that is. a tension
or stress. And those who claimed
it was a strain thought that their
point, in objection to athletics,
had been won when I weadily
agreed that athletics was a strain.
Rut rather than winning their
point, by their own statement they
lost it, and that' hopelessly. For
the very worthwhileness of athlet
ics lies in the fact that it furnishes
a strain, a tension, a stress, a pro
bation, if you please. "But the
strain of athletics is a drain." they
cry: "it breaks men.” I’ll admit
that It breaks men.
The Abuse of Athletics.
But that tell* me nothing against
athletics.
Men drown in water. Does that
say that it would be mercy to re
fuse a parched, thirsty child a cool
glass of water? Men have been
burnt with fire. For that reason
w ould you refuse to hold your
numb hands to the welcome
warmth' of some cheery blaze?
The objection is not to athletics,
but to the abuse of athletics. And
I object just as vehemently—pos
sibly more so—to those a’buses, and
they are many. Rut in that num
ber the mere fact of a strain con
sequent upon athletic' activity has
no place. Why. the possession of
free will entails a strain. Would
we, then, throw away free will?
When a child learns to walk It
is a tremendous strain on the un
tried, unhardened muscles. For
that reason would you keep the
sons of men craw ling on hands and
knees wherever they go? Does the
birth ‘i ry mark an easy, a simple
occurrence? Why. everything that
counts follows strain.
Sacrifice Is Well Rewarded.
Rut strain may break! surely!
But that is not nearly as Impor
tant a fact as that nothing but
strain can make.
But now does all this fit the top
ic lam writing of? Just this way:
To withstand the strain of ath
letics a man must take such and
such care of himself. He musi eat
such and such things. Certain oth
er things he dare not do nor eat.
To the man that finally makes good
the end in view, of athletic promi
nence or of personal satisfaction,
is big enough to make him willing
to sacrifice those little freedoms of
ways »f living that are pleasant to
him, to which he is accustomed but
w hich do not go with good condi-
tion Now. it is just the way in
w hich a man regards and uses this
period of denial that shows wheth
er he is to be finally made or
broken by the strain of the tests
he is preparing for. To some men
training, with its enforced absti
nences, is a tedious, irksome thing.
They look forward to the day they
can break training, when they can
cut loose and be free again. They
never get beyond training merely
because they have to. Just such a
man I helped carry off a field not so
long ago. For tijree-uuarters of an
hour I worked over him before I
dared trust his heart to follow one
heat after another as it should.
When he was weakest he wtiisper
ingly pleaded for whisky—“just to
smell." I wet my handkerchief and
held it for him. He drew as deep
breaths' as his stagnant-blooded
lungs would allow and whispered.
"My. but that's good, good. I'll be
mightily glad when this training
business is over" If I had not
known him already that would
have told me enough.
Training a Revelation.
But there are some men to whom
training with its sane laws and re
quirements is a revelation. They
not only get a habit of decent liv
ing, they learn the happiness (rs a
clean body and a clean life.
I saw more than one man, when
a great game was done, training
over, all that could be wished of a
season's work finished, sitting
around a magnificent banquet ta
ble, in such a banquet room*as has
few equals in the world, leave un
touched every one of four glasses
that were by their places. The
long. long, thin glasses that spar
kled deep, the .shallower ones that
were filled with richest hues, reds,
greens were untouched. Enticing?
Yes; but to those men who had
really tasted the rich, satisfying
pleasure of a sound body and free,
pure, richly coursing blood in un-
|4ooci iasie like I
I the best Burley I
I natural leaf
}bu nvi//find it in

Q CHEWING TOBACCO |
clogged veins, holding to that was
more enticing.
Let me make this whole thing
very definite. The man who is not
by nature prohibited and treats
himself fairly, before, during and
after, will never be hurt by and
will be greatly helped by what
ever he may do in athletics.
Real Athlete Must Live Clean.
To be as good as any man may
be in athletics he must live clean
ly. He must pay the price. Does
that sound like a hard statement?
It isn't.
To be as good as anay man may
be. in anything, he must live clean
ly. He must pay the price. More
than ■ that. TO HOLD ONE'S
SELF-RESPECT A MAN MUST
LIVE CLEANLY. MORE EVEN
THAN THAT, TO BE A CHRIS
TIAN A MAN MUST LIVE
CLEANLY’. AND THIS LAST IS
THE KINAL DEED. THE ABOVE
ALL OTHERS ESSENTIAL
THING.
THAT'S WHAT REALLY
COUNTS.

Don't lay your plans for spring out
ings and summer vacations until you have

revolutionize many a person's summer,
and make it exceptionally delightful.
Somebody will get $2,000 in gold; others

and every prize offered in this contest
is well worth the little time and trouble
spent in trying to solve the puzzles.
What a wealth of recreation—-what
a store of pleasure, and how many people
will enjoy these rich prizes wrapped up
in this contest waiting for some witty
person to solve their meanings.
It makes no difference if you are en
tering later than the early birds. You
have just as good a chance of winning
the grand prize you are after as the ones
that started with the issue of the first
picture.
No answer is to be sent in until after
the last picture has appeared, and then
you have plenty of time. A period of
two weeks will he allowed for the con
testants to review their back numbers
and see that they are as near correct as
possible.
These back numbers are on sale at
the contest department of The Georgian,
20 East. Alabama street, and may he ob
tained at the regular rate of The Daily
Georgian—2c per copy. You would be
; 'i tlx r nht line if vou would order your
back numbers, and start the work at
once. In this way you can solve the pic
tures as they are published daily, and
then devote a little time each day to one
of lhe back numbers, and you will he
up with the beginners before you
realize it.
Some will enjoy the contest now
more than if they had started with the
first picture, for the awarding of the
prizes is now not so very far off. There
will be no lojig period of suspense for
those who enter now. and the prizes are
so promising and the puzzles so interest
ing that it will be a pleasure to sit down
and solve all the back numbers.
To aid the contestants, the Contest
Department is still mailing out the Prov
erb Guides to all who are working for
one of the prizes. These hooks will be a
help to old contestants as well as the new
ones, and will keep you in line with all
the proverbs. While you are looking for
one. you may run across one that will be
in the paper later, and you will, remem
ber seeing it in the book, ami there you
go again to look for it If you did not
have this hook, you would have no sugges
tion as to what the picture represents,
and there you will be—“ Don't know
where to look."
The following questions and answers
are for the benefit of those who read
these columns each day:
Q. How many answers may be sent
in for each solution?
A. Three separate sets of solutions are
permissible for each puzzle.
Q. How do we send in our answers?
A. Hold all answers until the last
picture has been published, and then send
them in. together with the correct solu
tions.
Q. How will we know what the cor
rect answer is?
A. The correct solutions to each of
the pictures will be published in The
Georgian at the close of the contest. Hold
a duplicate to all answers you send in
and compare them with the ones in The
(ieorgian.
FODDER FOR FANS
Some speed-mad bug in Indianapolis
has figured out that Boh Burman in his
fastest automobile could circle the bases
twice and reach first base on the third
circuit while Ty Cobb was going down
to first base from the plate. At that, the
paths would have to be banked some.
• • •
Ciftvinrfati sport writers are beginning
to yell. The team is slumping and there’s
no stopping it. Pitching weakness is the
alibi.
• • •
Pitcher Bill Burns, who has played a
gamo or two with almost every club in
the big leagues, has been shipped back
to Minneapolis.
Orth Collins, former Southern leaguer,
has lost out as manager of the Green
wood teflm of th€b Cotton States league
and Martin D”di«»x has taken his place.
Hard luck for Martin.
* • •
George McConnell. Tennesseean, hasn't
shown anything with the Yanks and will
go hack to Rochester. He seems to be
one of those men who is good enough to
be a wonder In any minor league, but
who isn't quite good enough to stick with
the fast boys.
« « •
Jersey City has sold Pitcher Justis to
Holyoke and Pitcher Jim Swift to Elmira
» • •
Jud Daley is losing out with Brooklyn.
Jud lacks only one thing Maybe Bone
setter Retese might he able to do some
thing with his head
• • •
The Barons were lucky to get away with
yesterday's second game Their fielding
was more fortunate than skillful
• • •
The bleachers pestered Bill Foxen. with
a peculiar whistle that they reserve for
his especial benefit, every time he showed
his head, both Tuesday and Thursday Ip
the first game yesterday he got bis re
venge He not only helped materially in
the unmerciful beating that the Crackers
got, but in the sixth inning he raked a
foul through the bleachers that had 'em
all ducking It looked as though he did
it on purpose
Foxen looks as little like a pitcher as
any man you ever saw. He appears
shoulder-bound and there is nothing of
ease or beauty to his pitching swing Yet
he Is tremendously effective.

East put Ellam down for the full count
in a little encounter yesterday. In the
fifth inning of the second game the Baron
shortstop sacrificed. East came over to
cover first and as Atkins had his troubles
fielding the ball there wasn't a lot of
time to execute the play at first. The
second East got the ball he whirled like
•a flash and stuck out both hands Ai
the same second Ellam ran into them
The hands went hard into the pit of El
lam's stomach and he spun off the line
and rolled over. For a while he looked
like a "dead bird," but he came to life
and managed to finish out the contest.
