Ed Reulbach. of the Cubs. Pitch
ed One Hit Game Against Sox
in Series of 1906.

I in Saturdays; game brought
up th* 1 question of who was the

As might be expected when 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.
Reulbueh. of the Cubs established
the r eord. holding the White Sox
to one hit in a game in 19(16.

How Can You Tell an Athlete? Outward Signs Are Misleading
WEATEST E4CJORJSJiATIiER’' OF THE MUSCLE
By Fiwl C. Thomson.
I’T is * natural thing that about
the first stat 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?
" hat 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 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.
Rut we don't have to search far
before we find that this test fails. x
For as the football seasons con
clude and the track season rolls
around w< 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 a great range of fields
and ;> 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 fastest man 1 ver
knew was pudgy not just heavi
ly muscled, 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 ex er saw in a tra. k suit was an
exceptionally good weight man.
Ho the u.-t of pay sic.il proportion
we will have to eliminate.
But what of the muscular struc
ture itself" What sort of a test
would that make" There are sure
ly some definite rules we may
trust in regatii to muscular tone
and structure.
Surely there are plenty of ru es,
but they are verv leaky. A deep
clieeted man is supposed to pos
sess gieat tnduramu breaur, pure
blood keeps up ttte muscle tope.
Tin only thing many of them ». , n
to pos«! ss In i-e of lln XI ra
piiboonarx dirnn. -.on* • < gi. <>
' v■ r •• s < oiiov'iuctlt Upon ihe
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
two-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 i.ian with
thin, wiry "striated" muscles is, by
all the rules of muscular procedure
slated as of little bull 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 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 galling
gun -a six-barreled galling gun.
The ga.- is the powder and the pis
tons are. the bullets, the only dif
ference oeing that the piston is a
sort of boomerang bullet. It starts
out of the barrel fast enough, but
before it has cleared the muzale it
slow s <ji wn. stops and stai ts back
for more. And it gets it. Ami this
is done time and time again.
BUT AT EVERY EXPI.OSION
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 carries the message to
any muscle it acts as the spark
acts on a cylinder full of gas.
So that within every muscle that
is set to work then are set up a
thousand tiny fires so rapid that
there are really explosions. Now.
ft is these little fires H at mak. an
athlete or determine that he ever
could become an athlete wo th a
rat' even with the best training and
the best coach- If these fires are
very rapid we get consequent rap
idity in muscle action, which spells
speed. If there are many fires at
work the muscle acts powerfully
But endurance or tirelessness i«
gained by the apid clearance of
dead tissue, the char ■ xhausting of
the cylinder, ability of tin capil
laries to both carry away dead tis

explosion of every cylinder in the
body.
Tin 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 of nervous control. The
timing of the explosion is deter
mined by the liming 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
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—The Chicago Na
tional league club defeated the loea :
cIUtT of the American league. 4 to 2
yesterday, in the series which is to
dedide the city championship. This is
the second victory for the Nationals
Two games resulted in ties.
The game was 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 was 30,393; the lota'
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 m 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
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
to the effect that he had a physical en
• ounter 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 w hisky. Warner called
these fellows down in no mild language
and also reprimanded Thorpe for av
< i pting the bottle. Thorpe explained
lati r that he accepted the bottle for
the reason that he did not wish to of
fend the donors and not because he in
tended to use it.

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, texx. oct. u.—
That the Vanderbilt-Vir
ginia game, which will be
played in Nashville early in No
vember. will be the biggest betting
proposition of the Southern fall
season was indicated here today
when an offer was made through a
special emissary from Nashville to
cover a $5,000 commission which
has been in the bands 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,
Caltjwell 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.

“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 the use of their names over
newspaper stories because of tlie 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
lire screen. He felt better when he
found his manager had not written it.
"The only thing I ever got for allow -
ing tlie use of my name was the loss of
a good player," said Clark Griffith.
"Sandow Merles 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. Tv
Cobb watches every game carefully,
but collaborates with Stony McGiyn,'
»f The Philadelphia Press. Jack
Wheeler, of The New York Herald,
writes Christy Mathewson's stories aft
er talking them over with him.
