PITIFUL CROWD 15
GUT TO WGU
CAME nw
By Billy Smith.
POLO GROUNDS, XKW York,
Oct 11 Tin* fickleness of the
baseball fan never was better
evidenced than today, when the
R< d Sox and Giants met in the sixth
and perhaps last game of the
world's series.
An hour before game time, there
was only a scattering of fans in
the bleacher seats and lower grand
stand. and not the semblance of a
crowd outside the park.
Mathewson a Marvel.
Before I go any further, 1 must
get all this enthusiasm out of my
Bystem about Christy Mathewson,
gamest and greatest of all living
pitchers. He pitched THE game of
his long career Saturday and was
beaten, but my hat goes off to him.
After all. it was the old. old
story—youth must be served.
Here was an epic battle between
a tried and true veteran and an un
heard-of .youth.
We older fans in that Boston
crowd felt a pang of regret when
we saw the fail of the mighty Ma
thewson Yet. th mgh beaten in a
sportsmanlike, fair, clean battie by
a yhunget man wln -e muscles
were more supple whose enthusi
asm was greater, and whose ambi
tion spurred him on to his ultimate
effort New Yi rk' idol pulled him
self together when he saw the tide
of haul" going against him. and,
aft< r all the harm hud been done,
rose in hi s might and gave one of
the most remarkable pitching exhi
bition.' I er er saw
After the Third ‘‘Nothing Doing.”
After one mat’ had been put out
in the third inning. Mathewson did
not permit a Red Sox runner to
reach first base. They quailed be
fore his pitching, these hard hit
ting speed boys, and went down in
one-two-tln < e order in every in
ning. only two balls were knocked
to the outfield.
M. it!) s iist effor| was
the sudden renewal of his skill of
other days He became young
again. The hall flew over the plate
with remarkable speed, his pace
Changed, and Ins tangents dipped
tantalizingly over and under the
Boston bats
Gamemss and grit ami Matty's
remarkable taient of outguessing
batsmen made up for his missing
strength. That eleven-inning game
of Wednesday had been the tough
est game he had pitched in half a
dozen years, but he went confident
ly and willingly into the flay He
knew his best days as a pitcher
were over, but he rose to a su
preme effort and showed that he
was still master of his art.
Giants Have Given Up.
1 o» tile fir-t time tn tin seri, s I
noticed Saturday that aft.. the
third inning the Giants failed to
show the tight that had marked
tlutr previous engagements My
conclusion is that after their de
feat Friday at th. hand of Wood
they figured th.-it .>i y remaining
hole was Mathewson, at. with his
defeat their hope of winning a
worlds’ championship iiad practi
cally fled.
1 feared on account of that tin
fortunate collision betwe.n .'adv

Record of Series for
Few-Hit Games Not in
Any Danger This Year
Ed Reulbach, of the Cubs, Pitch
ed One-Hit Game Against Sox
in Series of 1906.
r HE excellent work of Bedient
| in Saturday's game brought
up the question of who’ was the
best pitcher of world's series his
tory The honor goes to Ed R«ul
bach, with Ed Walsh and Morde
< ai Brown close behind.
As might be expected when star
pitchers, hacked by star teams,
.meet in the world's series, low hit
games are not uncommon. In fact,
the history of the world's baseball
combats show’s that 14 times pitch
ers have held opponents to less
than five hits.
Retilbach, of the Gubs established
the record, holding the White Sox
to one hit in a game in 1906.
Walsh and Brown pitched two-hit
games the same year.

How Can You Tell an Athlete? Outward Signs Are Misleading
4iREATEST FACTOR IS “CATHER” OF THE MUSCLE
By Fred Thomson.
IT is a natural thing that about
the first set of queries that an
interest in athletics stimulates
is:
"What is the determining physi
cal factor of athletic ability? What
is the outward mark of an athlete?
What are we to look for in an
athlete as the mark of his prowess?
Or. what would be the evidence
that this or that man could be an
athlete if he would but go through
the necessary preparation? Are
there any signs of the potentially
great athlete? What is the key to
It all, anyway?"
In every activity of interest, to
any great number, some such ques
tions are always asked. It is only
natural that they should be.
Possibly we may arrive at an
answer most easily through a proc
ess of the elimination of the most
commonly presented tentative an
swers.
The layman argues very simply
and’readily that since athletics is
a physical activitj physical equip
ment is the keynote; and since in
the various athletic events certain
particular muscles carry the great
est burden, then the physical pro
portion in which those particular
muscles are predominant is ideal
for that branch of athletics, and
will, therefore, bespeak either the
finished athlete in that line or at
least one who possesses very defi
nite potentialities in that direction.
But we don't have to search far
before we find that this test fails.
For as the football seasons con
clude and the track season rolls
around we find that the man who
was playing end and was light for
the position Is the premier ham
mer thrower of the bunch, and the
big rangy tackle is busy with the
pole
Appearances Deceiving.
If we take this test and carry
it through a great range of fields
and a large number of instances
it will seem rather that to be fit
tingly proportioned for a given
event is an Immediate disqualifi
cation for it.
Why. th* fastest man I ever
knew was pudgy not just heavi
ly muscled, but fat. with a fat
man's build—-long-bodied and
snort-legged! Vnd one of the
thinnest, if not THE thinnest man
I ever saw in a track suit was an
exceptionally good weight man.
So the test of physical proportion

P'i too at' dmu n ...ns is . g,. , (l
>"i queii upon th«
labor of lugging the excess
around.
A bulktly muscled man is sup
posed to have strength for slow,
heavy work, but little endurance.
And yet I saw* a man finish a
two-mile race easily with a broad
smile. His time was 9:55. And
to look at him you would lake him
for the under man in a three-high
tumbling crew.
Another Rule W r ong.
tin the other hand, a man with
thin, wiry “striated" muscles is. by
al! the rules of muscular procedure
slated as of little hull strength, but
of great endurance. I know of a
man of such a build who could lift
a 150-pound dumbbell over his
head to arm's length with one hand.
And he xvas 70 years old.
This test, too, must be elimi
nated.
Then xve come to the real work
of an athlete—the real determining
factor And that is itis “gather.”
And \x hat I mean by a man's
"gather" will be clear in the fol
io xv i n g:
Do you know gas engines weli
enough to knoxx what goes on in
sidt a six-cylinder engine? The
terrific power that they develop is
not done without plenty of stir and
racket. For every gasoline engine
of that type is a veritable gatling
gun -a six-barreled gatling gun.
t The gas is the poxv.lt r and the pis
tons are the bullets, the only dif
ference being that the piston is a
sou of boomerang bullet. It starts
out of tite barrel fast enough, but
bet'• . it has cleared the muzzle it
slows down, stops and starts back
loi more. And it gets it. Ami this
is done time and time again.
BIT AT EVERY EXPLOSION
THAT GAS HAS DONE ITS
WORK AND IS DEAD Before the
barrel tires again fresh gas must
come in. This Is arranged tor by

Muscle Like Engines.
A muscle xxorks in almost the
same way The anatomical ele
ments of the muscular tissue, the
tiny pieces of the muscles them-
I selves, are almost bombs When
the neve carries the message to
any muscle it acts a- the spark
acts on a cylinder full of gas.
So that within every mu-cle that
j is set to work there are set up a
thousand tinx files so rapid that
there are really explosions Now.
it is these little tires that make an
athlete or determine that he • vet
could become an athlete wo. th a
rap even with the best training ami
the b-st . each If these fires arc

iditx in muxcle action, which spells

explosion of every cylinder in the

The ability to concentrate on a
single supreme effort, whether a
leap or a heave or throw, makes no
difference. For each it is the “gath
er.” And this co-ordination is a
matter df ndlvous control. The
timing of the explosion is deter
mined by the timing of the spark.
The nervous impetus is the spark.
For the man that has a normal bal
anced nerve equipment that requi
site control is a matter of clear
aim and persistent effort.
RECORD-BREAKING CROWD
SEES CUBS DEFEAT SOX
CHI' AGO. Oct. 14.—The Chicago Na
tional league club defeated the local
club of the American league. 4 to 2,
yesterday, in the series which is to
decide the city championship. This is
the second victory for the Nationals
Twit games resulted in ties.
The game xvas a battle between
Walsh and Reulbach. Walsh allowed
seven hits, two of which were doubles
and one a home run. while Reulbach
was touched for eight, four of which
were doubles.
Never before has so large a crowd
passed through the turnstiles of the
National league park here. The official
attendance as announced by the Na
tional commission xvas 30.393; the total
receipts $21,197. Os this amount, the
National commission will receive $2.-
119.70; each club gets $3,815.46. and
$1 1,446.38 goes to the players' pool.
The crowd became so unmanageable
in the early part of the game that i'
xvas impossible for a large detail of
police to keep them from crowding onto
the infield.
A dozen or more park attaches and
ushers went to the assistance of the
police, and when this failed to put the
crowd back the National league play
ers, each armed with a bat. went to
the rescue. After some time the crowd
xvas s|uieted, and the game was re
sumed.
WARNER DENIES THAT HE

■ the effect that he had a physical en

alter the Washington and Jefferson
game. The only occurrence which
could have given rise to such a ridicu
lous story was the fact that while wait,
ing at the hotel in Pittsburg for the
train home Coach Warner observed
two admirers of Thorpe presenting him
with a bottle of whisky. Warner called
these fellows down in no mild language
and also reprimanded Thorpe for ax -
i etiting the bottle. Thorpe explained

the reason that he did not xx ish to of

Vanderbilt-Virginia
Game Will Be Hottest
Betting Event of Year
Nashville Men Send $5,000 to
Memphis to Cover an Equal
Amount of Virginia Money.
Memphis, tenn.. Oct. 14.
That the Vanderbilt-Vir
ginia game, which will be
played in Nashville early in No
vember. w ill be the biggest betting
proposition of the Southern fall
season was indicated here today
w hen an offer was made through a
special emissary from Nashville to
cover a 85,000 commission which
has been in the hands of local Vir
ginia enthusiasts for several weeks.
The Virginians originally asked
for even money, but today when it
became known that Vanderbilt
backing had arrived odds were
asked.
It is likely that Bruce Johnson,
"Young” Caldwell and other Van
derbilt sympathizers who ate said
to be behind the Vanderbilt "pool”
will offer odds of 100 to 90 by Tues
day*. when final stakes will be post
ed in what promises to be the big
gest wager ever made on a South
ern football game in one lump sum.

“COMMISH” MAY SQUELCH
BALL PLAYER-REPORTERS
BOSTON, Oct. 14. —It is rumored that
the national commission will pass a
rule prohibiting ball players from al
lowing the use of their names over
newspaper stories because of the dan
ger of stirring up dissension.
Chief Meyers lost his goat when he
read a signed story by McGraw blam
ing the Indian for losing Tuesday’s
game when he missed a foul that hit
the screen. He felt better when he
found his manager had not written it.
"The only thing I ever got for allow
ing the use of my name was the loss of
a good player." said Clark Griffith.
"Sandow Mertes jumped to the Giants
when 1 was managing the White Sox
when he read a criticism under my
name that 1 had never made.”
As a matter of fact, very few ball
players write their own stories. Ty
Cobb watches every game carefully,
but collaborates with Stony McG'jn,
of Tiie Philadelphia Press. Jack
Wheeler, of The New York Herald,
writes Christy Mathewson's stories aft
er talking them over with him.
