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 rw HE excellent work of Bedient
a in Saturday's game brought
up the question of w ho was the
best pitcher of world's series his
tory. The honor goes to Ed Reul
bach, with Ed Walsh and Morde

As might be expected w hen star
pitchers* backed by star teams,

games are not uncommon. In fact,
the history of the world's baseball
combats shows that H times pitch
ers have held opponents to less
than five hits.
Reulbach, of the Cubs established
the record, bidding the White Sox
to one hit in a game in 1906.

How Can You Tell an Athlete? Outward Signs Are Misleading
OREATEST FACTOR iS “GATHER” OF THE MUSCLE
By Fred C. Thomson.
I' T 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?
W hat ate 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? Ace
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 activity 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—ls 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 it 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. the f. tsteet man 1 ever
knew was pudgy not just heavi
ly muni ,ed. but fat. with a fat
man's build—long-bodied and
short-legged I And one of the
thinnest, if not THE thinnest man
I ever saw in a track suit was an
exceptionally good weight man.
Bo the ti-t of physic.<l proportion
we will have to eliminate.
But what of the muscular struc
ture itself What sort of test
would that make'’ There are sure
ly some definite rules we may
trust in regard to muscular tone
and structure.
Surely there are plenty of ru'.es.
but they are very leaky. A deep
chested man t» supposed to pos
sess gteat endurance because pure
blood keeps up the muscle tone
The only thing many of them s. . >,
to ie'“-< -■ Imaii-t. ~f tip extra
pu’monat y dimen on* |>> ,
‘' • 'l>" s <on int upon the
labor of lugging the excess
around.
A bulkily muscled man is sup
posed to have strength for slow,
heavy work, but little endurance.
And yet I saw a man finish a
ttvo-mile race easily with a broad
smile. His time was 9:55. And
to look at him you would take him
for the under man in a three-high
tumbling crew.
Another Rule Wrong.
On the other hand, a man with
thin, wiry "striated" muscles is, by
all the rules of Muscular procedure
slated as of little bull strength, but
of great endurance. 1 knoyy 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 was 70 years old.
This test, too, must be elimi
nated.
Then we come to the real work
of an athlete—the real determining
factor. And that is his "gather.”
And what I mean by a man's
"gather” will be clear in the fol
lowing:
Do you know gas engines well
enough to know what goes on in
side 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 s'x-barreled gatling gun.
The ga- is the powder ami the pis
tons are the bullets, the only dif
ference being that the piston is a
sort of boomerang bullet, it starts
out of lite barrel fast enough, but
before it has cleared the muzzle it
slows down, stops and starts back
for more. And it gets it. And this
is done time and time again.
BI T AT EVERY EXPLOSION
THAT GAS HAS DONE ITS
WORK AND IS DEAD. Before the
barrel fires again fresh gas must
come in. This is arranged for by
the letting in of a fresh charge
Muscle Like Engines.
A muscle works in almost the
same way. The anatomical ele
ments of the muscular tissue, the
tiny pieces of the muscles them
selves. ate almost bombs. When
the ne ve entries the message to
any muscle it nets as the spark
acts on a cylinder full of gas.
So that within every mu.-da that
is set to work there are set up a
thousand tiny tires so rapid that
there are really explosions. Now.
It Is these litt'. fires that make an
athlete or determine that he evet
could become an athlete worth a
rap even with the best training and
the best coach If thesr fires ate
very rapid we get consequent ap
idity in muscle action, which spells
speed. If there are many files ;tt
yyork the muscle Hi ts powetfully.
But endurance or tirelessness Is
gained In the apifi clearance of
dead tissue, the i lea’ ■ xhaustlng of

explosion of every cylinder in the
body.
The ability to concentrate on a
single sup:erne effort, whether a
leap o’’ a heave or throw, makes no
difference. For each it is the "gath
er." And this co-ordination is a
matter of nervous 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 no’mal bal
anced nerve equipment that requi
site control is a matter of clear
aim and persistent effort.

Never before has so large a crowd
passed through the turnstiles of the
National league park here. The official

National commission will receive $2.-

$11,446.38 goes to the players’ pool.
The crowd became so unmanageable
in the early part of the game that i’
was impossible for a large detail of
police Io keep them from crowding onto
the. infield.
A dozen or mote park attaches and
ushers went to the assistance of the
police, and when this failed to put the
crowd back the National league play

the rescue. After some time the crowd
was quieted, and the game was re

Betting Event of Year
Nashville Men Send $5,000 to

Memphis, tenn.. oct. n.—
That the Vanderbilt-Vir
ginia game, which will be
played in Nashville early in No

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 $5,000 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 a e 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

‘■COMMISH’’ MAY SQUELCH
BALL PLAYER-REPORTERS
BOSTON, oct. 14.—1 tis rumored that
the national commission will pass a
rule prohibiting ball players from al
lowing th*: use of their names over
newspaper stories because of the dan
ger of stirring up dissension.
Chief Meyers lost his goat w*hen he
read a signed story by McGraw blam
ing the Indian for losing Tuesday's
game when h< missed a foul that hit
the screen. He felt better when he
found his manager had not wtitten 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 I was managing the White Sox
when he read a criticism under my
name that I had never made."
As a matter of fact, very few ball
players write their own stories. Ty
i obu watches every game carefully,
but collaborates with Stony McGi' ii,'
of The Philadelphia Press. Jack
Wheeler, of The New York Herald,
writes Christy Mathewson’s stories aft
