i TJoKTON. April 19—Right off the

statements are mathematically

Edward Irenaeus equals Gunboat.
Smyth equals Smith.
These things being admitted, the

Then for n knockout to the hopes of

this one over:

By Jack Law.
J OHNNY DOBBS boa at*. this
year of one of t lie quaintest
characters in baseball. Luther
Taylor, the deaf mute pitcher. Dobbs
secured from the International League
is best known to baseball fans as a
member of McGraw’s Giants, and was
for years a reliable twirler on Ills
club.
while there have been several
mutes in baseball, there are only two
that gained national prominence In
the major leagues. These two were
Dummy and Dummy Hoy.
Taylor acquired his first experience
as a member of an independent team
at Decatur. Ill. His ability soon at
tracted attention, and he was secure!
by the New York Nationals. In the
soring of 1903 he Jumped to the Cleve
land club of the American League.
He was sent to New Orleans a month
ahead of the Cleveland team with
Add!? Joss, Gochenauei and Ka i
Mot? '. Armour was evidently afraLl
some National League manager would
kidnap them. Taylor. however,
stayed but a short time with the
Cleveland team, subsequently joining
the New York team, from which he
jumped.
He Was Popular Player.
Taylor, although deprived of spec. U
and hearing, was one of the best
Matured players In the profession, and
possessed a keen sense of humor. His
sign language aroused the rlflbilitios
of players and spectators, but was
not always taken in the same spirit
by the umpires.
One day in a game between Now
York and Pittsburg, It started to rain
while the New York club was in the
lead. The rain, while it lasted, was
heavy enough to make the grounds
very wet, but did not last long enough
for the umpire to decide to call the
game. As usual, the New York pla> -
ers entered a vigorous protest, but
without avail, and the game was as
sumed. Taylor had secured a pair
of rubber boots somewhere, and final
ly came out on tire field, picking out
tHe dampest spots he could find, with
the rubber boots on his feet. The
umpire failed to see the humor, and
Dummy was banished from the game.
He was later given a short sus
pension by tile president of the lea
gue for his comedy stunt.
That times have changed in base
ball is shown by tlie fact that Arlie
Latham pulled off a similar stunt
hut succeeded in getting away with it.
The team on which I ait ham was play-
ing was in the lead one day and i;
commenced to get dark, and requests
wefr ina(it bj the team that the 9am
be called, but the judge of the play
couldn’t see it that way. One inning,
when Lalham went to his position
at third base, he carried a lantern
with him and pretended to be looking
for third base. The chances are that
if a player pulled anything like that
now the powers would give him the
limit. \
Taylor Will Stick.
Dobbs states that he will keep Tay
lor.
Dummy Hoy. the other mute who
gained fame in the majors, was an
outfielder and played with the Wash
ington, Cincinnati and Louisville
clubs in the National League B.*-
ing a mute was about the only thing
that could be held to be detrimen
tal to Hoy's ability as* a player, as
he could Hit. throw, run and held as
well as any of his more fortuna c*
brother outfielders.
WHITNEY AND JOHNSON IN
HARD TEN-ROUND DRAW
DENVER, COLO.. April 19.—Frank
Whitney, the Cedar Rapids (Iowa)

local boy. fought a hard ten round draw
here last night. The boys fought
every inch of the way. Johnson had
the best of the first two rounds, but
Whitney more than evened matters

session. Many of those present

entitled to the verdict.

C HICAGO, April 19.—Most amazing to fighters and fight fans is the
training work being done by the big wrestlers who are to meet in
the Coliseum next week In what Is termed a match for the world's
title, a little conceit on the part of the management to which nobody
appears to object serjotisly.
Perhaps the average layman knows only in a general way about
the training methods of fighters, hut there isn't one man in 100 who
wouldn't gasp in astonishment to learn that one of these wrestlers be
lieves in plenty of fluids as a diet and drinks somewhere around two
gallons of liquids a day!
That is exactly the case with Zbyszco. the irnght} Polish athlete,
who Is regarded as one of the greatest of the foreign stars and who
doubtless is capable of giving any man living a beating on the mat—
nearly.
* * *
T HE average trainer of a fighter wouid be horrified to have his man
dispose of anywhere near that amount of stuff during the course
of twenty-four hours.
Hut the training method of the fighter and the routine and detail
adopted by the wrestler of the day are at vast variance, one system
making the other smile with ill-concealed ridicule.
Not only does Zbyszco believe that his method is entirely correct
in his own particular case. but. he sees in it much virtue for others.
And others are following out his idea,‘too. so that (he wrestling method
of training during these strenuous days may be set down as strictly
"wet.”
Mind you. this word is not used in ihe ordinary sense and made
to cover beer and other alcoholic drinks.
The Pole eschews them strictly.
Milk and vichy form his entire liquid diet—and, believe me. he
can make a milk can look mighty tired after he gets a good shot at it.
The can stands no more chance with him than would Humid Kalla
Pasha. •
* * *
O NE gallon of vichy and a gallon or more of milk daily puis the Pole
in his best condition, to. hear him tell it., and is one of the real
reasons why Zbyszco. In common with other wrestlers who follow his
system, can wrestle every night in the week, with long railroad jumps
in between, and not only live, but actually thrive under it.
Fighters must go through that harrowing process of drying out on
the day of a fight in order to get most of the liquid out of their systems
and reach the weight required.
Wrestlers of the heavyweight variety never have any worries of
this sort. This is the main reason, according to the studious Pole, why
wrestlers last for years after a fighter has completely outlived his ring
usefulness.
* * *
I T IS not at all uncommon for Zbyszco to lose from ten to fifteen pounds
of weight during the course of a heavy bout, lasting perhaps an hour.
Yet he does this without weakening himself and usually is just as strong
and active at the finish of the bout as he was when time was first
called.
Fighters have marveled at this wonderful display of endurance and
stamina, especially when it is done night in and night out, week after
week. Now they have the solution of the whole thing from one of the
greatest living exponents of the eatch-as-catch-can game.
* • »
F I RTHER, the Pole believes this vast amount of liquid keeps his blood
in the best of condition, nourishes him thoroughly, and while he
eats with tremendous heartiness, he asserts freely that he couldn't
do what he does during a wrestling season unless he fairly flooded his
system with fluids.
But, remember that the Pole doesn't ever look upon the amber when
it is bright and foamy and cannot see liquor or wines at all as a neces
sary part of an athlete's regime. Which should get the Prohibition yote
for Ihe big fellow, if nothing more.

I N all my wanderings about the
British Isles and at all the tourna
ments I attended w hen abroad, I
cannot remember ever to have seen
a solitary player at practice.
Of course, 1 have seen a man swing
his clubs time and again, without hit
ting the ball, before starting out, but
when 1 speak of practice I mean
taking a number of balls and one
club and trying that and then an-
other club and so on; or going' out
to. some difficult hole and trying to
play it in a certain way. This sort
of practice has a very definite aim
and has meant unlimited good to me
and I do not well see how I could
have developed my game without it.
Britons Surpass Americans.
To be sure, of late year# l have noi
been able to keep up the regular
practice of my school.days, but that
is always a matter of regret. But
the Briton does not practice, to mv
knowledge, in this sense of the word,
and yet the average British player
is very much better than the aver
age American.
Whether the fine British players
had graduated from th<* practice
class at the time 1 met them I do
not know. Certainly there was
very fine playing and an apparently
total lack of practice.
Not only is this true, but I have
discovered that the British player
really looks down on any one who
gets out and practices with the sole
intent of winning.
1 have heard they disliked a cer
tain famous American from the start
because he did not play much, but
went out and practiced silently and
constantly before the big competi
tion.
Perhaps they thought it looked too
much like business, and it is just
here that national characteristics
show most strongly.
Englishman Solemn Player.
The Englishman seems never lo
think of his business when bent on
recreation, but he takes the game it
self with astounding solemnity. The
American finds it difficult to get his
mind away from his business, but
he play# his game with cheerfulness,
not to say frivolity.
When 1 think of*golf abroad T al
ways carry a picture in my mind of
two silent, serious Britons going
around the links and giving a whole
hearted thought and care to the game
'that seems absolutely impossible to
the average lighter natured Ameri-
