The honor goes to Ed Reul bach, with Ed Walsh and Morde cai Brown close behind. As might be expected w hen star pitchers* backed 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 shows that H times pitch ers have held opponents to less than five hits.

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 the cylinder, ability of the capil laries to both ca’ty atvay dead tis sue and build up new But the gnth< i ' g ''h< i ' tt ith *■ -imply tin i one 1 to m ik< roiy U‘.lb'l J IS*III lO’.'ll, into I Ho am< iiiadant I , co. m mn.ii. i 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. RECORD-BREAKING CROWD SEES CUBS DEFEAT SOX CHICAGO. Oct. 14.—The Chicago Na tional league club defeated the local club of the American league. 4 to 2. yesterday, in the scries which is to decide the city championship. This is the second victory for the Nationals Two games resulted in ties. The game was a battle betyveen Walsh and Reulbach. Walsh allowed seven hits, tyvo of which were doubles tnd one a home run. while Reulbacl: yvas 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 was 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 $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 ers, each armed with a bat. went to the rescue. After some time the crowd was quieted, and the game was re sumed (WARNER DENIES THAT HE AND THORPE HAD FIGHT CARLISLE, PA Oct. 14.—Coach Warner emphatically denies the news paper stories emanating from Pittsburg t > the effect that he had a phyMcal en counter with Captain "Jim" Thorpe after 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 calleu these fellows down In n<> mild language and also reprimanded Thorpe for ac cepting the bottle.

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 gest wager ever made on a South ern football game in one lump sum.

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.
