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 Idriimhonbl NATURAL LEAF 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. FINN RELEASES KNEAVES. CHATTANOOGA, TENN.. May 31. Infielder Kneaves has been released by .Manager Apque Finn to the Hatties burg club of the Cotton States league.

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.

Hard luck for Martin. * • • George McConnell. Tennesseean, hasn't shown anything with the Yanks and will go hack to Rochester.

He is more troublesome for what he says than for his hitting In yesterday’s second game after he got on third he so agitated Tommy Atkins, by his running fire of talk and his wild breaks toward home that "Soldier Boy" walked Prough and filled the bases Luckily Marcan lined out im mediately afterwards and ended the in ning • • • 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. ■ ■ ■ Cliff Blankenship, a Columbus, Ga., baseball product and once a big leaguer, is managing the Missoula team in the I’nion association.
