D. Opester. B oston, April id—Right otr the mitt, let it. be said that these statements are mathematically and pugilistlcally accurate; Edward Irenaeus equals Gunboat. Smyth equals Smith.* These things being admitted, the way is open to saying that Edward Irenaeus Smyth—spelled S-ni-y-t-h, remember, is in town as Gunboat Smith. But he doesn’t belong to the Smiths—spelled 8-m-i-t-h. Folk of that ilk can’t claim him for their As a mater of family tree correct ness. this Jatest of the “hopes” who tire yelling for a chance at that “black feapalr” Johnson, is Gunboat SmYth. Edward Irenaeus—or Gunboat, whichever name you fight fans pre fer—had some interesting things to put across in an Interview I had with him. He says there is a dearth of piano movers and truck drivers in tin* land, as all tlie huskies are quitting their Jobs to Join the “white hope” brigade. Then for a knockout to the hopes of the "hopes,” Edward Irenaeus shoved this one over; Smith Gives Real Dope. T am the man who can lick Johnson. I put the big black brute through the ropes —yes, sir. clqpn through the ropes— with a haymaker (see note be low) when I was his Hparring partner several years ago. You betcher life I did, and 1 < an do it again. And having done it once, is any man better quali fied to win back the heavy weight championship to the white race than yours truly? (This is the note: Edward Iren aeus says a "haymaker” is a wide •wing of his trusty-busty strong rignt nrm. Mr. SmYth says farmers make hay with similar slashing •wings.) But this isn’t all that Edward Irenaeus said. He says he IS a woman’s .suffra gist—in this he defies Hut her Me- illgly Sores Quickly Banished You Marvel How Worst Skin Eruptions Disappear as Result of Famous Remedy.

What Jie says lie can do is enough ro make the public wonder why lie didn't come into the spotlight before he whaled Bombardier Wells into laying low while the referee counted ten over the Britisher’s prostrate form.

Johnny dobbs boasts this I year of one of the quaintest J 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 twirier on his 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.v Joss, Gochenauer and Earl Moe??. Armour was evidently afraid some National League manager‘would kidnap them. Taylor, however, stayed hut a short time with the Cleveland team, subsequently joining the New York team, from which he jumped. Ho Was Popular Player. Taylor, although deprived of speech and hearing, was one of the best Matured players in the profession, and possessed a keen sense of humor. His sign language aroused the risibilities of players and spectators, but was not always taken in the same spirit by the umpires. One day in a game between New York and Pittsburg, jt started to rain while the New York club was in the lead. The rain, while it lasted, was heavy enough lo 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 play 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 the field, picking out the dampest spots lie could find, with the rubber boots on Ills feet. The umpire failed to see the humor, and Dummy was banished from the game. He was later given a short sus pension by the president of the lea gue for his comedy stunt. That times have changed in base ball is shown by tlie fact that Arlie .atham pulled off a similar stunt but succeeded in getting away with it. The team on which Latham was play ing was In the lead one day and it commenced to get dark, and requests were made by the team that the gam-? be called, but the judge of the play couldn’t see it that way. One inning, when Latham 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 th .i now the powers would give him the limit. Taylor Will Stick Dobbs states that lie will keep Tay lor. Dummy Hoy. the other mute who gained fame in the majors, was «n outfielder and played with the Wash ington. Cincinnati and Louisville (Tubs in 1 lie National League. Be 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 field as well as any of his more fortuna >• brother outfielders.

EPPA RIXEY SIGNS 1913 CONTRACT WITH PHILLIES ZBYSZCO TRAINS ON MILK •;•••;- •;•••> -:•••;• •!•••!• Drinks 2 Gallons of Liquids a Day Bv Ed W. Smith. 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 seriously. Perhaps the average layman knows only in a general way about the training methods of fighters, but there isn’t one man in 100 who wouldn't gasp in astonlahment, 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 iinghty 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 would be horrified to have his man dispose of anywhere near that amount of stuff during the course of twenty-four hours. But 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 the wrestling method of training during these strenuous days may be set down as strictly “wet.” Mind you, this word is not used in the 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 cau 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 puts 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 hnrrowlng 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 catch-as-catch-can game. F URTHER, (he 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 vote for (he big fellow, if nothing more. Prep League News and Notes.

Spurlock had bard luck in the 100- vard dash yesterday afternoon. The heat he ran looked like the fastest one ot' them all. but the times got mixed up and he had to be satisfied with a tie lor third place. The heat between Bedell ano Lock- ridge yesterday was almost a tie. but Bedell fairly threw himself across the finish line, a winner by a scant few inches. Considering the condition of the track, the time in the 100-yard dash — It seconds—was pretty fast.

April 19.—Pratt, the star pitcher of the University of Ala bama team, had the Mercer batsmen completely baffled yesterday. As a result of hia great twirling Alabama beat Mercer, 2 to 0. He hurled the prettiest game of baseha.ll ever seen on the local Held. Not a safe hit was registered off his delivery during the entire nine in nings. His team only made one error behind him. The young collegian almost had a no-man-to-first achievement. He hit Wills in the seventh and walked a man in the eighth. Neither reached second base. Hunt pitched a nice game for the Mercer team, but errors came at crit ical times and a couple of timely hits beat the locals. COTTON WINS CUE MATCH.

X all mv wanderings about the British Isles and at all the tourna ments 1 attended when 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 I 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 J could have developed my game without it. Britons Surpass Americans. To be sure, of late years I have not 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 mi- 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 the practice class at the time I 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 I 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 strong l y. Englishman Solemn Player. The Englishman seems never to think of his business when bent on recreation, but be takes the game it self with astounding solemnity. The American finds it difficult to get his mind away from his business, but he plays his game with cheerfulness, not to say frivolity. When I think of golf abroad I 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 nature.!

Jack Prince ought to get away with some good meets. Rac ing on sharply banked tracks is bound to be exciting and At lantans will pay well for anything thrilling. Trap shooting has had an up-and- down career in Atlanta, chiefly down. Yet it is undeniably a great sport and with the proper boosting should go big with tho?e enthusiastic over the shooting game. Atlanta overlooks a lot of grand sports, especially winter sports. The city should have more soccer football, some cross country running, more track meets, more distance runs, and all sorts of contests which have for their purpose the improv ing of the health of the boys and young men of the city. TP a baseball player receives as 1 much as $4,000 or more for this season’s work, would he be exempt from the income tax now being en tertained by Congress in case he plead the amount was received for six months’ work and that he did not earn that much as a year’s salary? To the fans who tackle statistics, figures and all sport dope this will prove rather an interesting query. Ac. cording to the income tax bill noi being given consideration, one must pay 1 per cent on a yearly salary c $4 # 000, the tax increasing in ratio with the increase in yearly wage. At present there are quite a num ber of big league players who receivi much more than that amount. No * the question is, will these ball ] admit that such is a yearly wage o a half-yearly one, should the tax t passed. Should they declare that the amountj implies a full year’s w-ages, then they will not be exempt, but should they] explain they receive that amount f but six month? and that they do l receive an annual salary, would complications, as to what construct tion must be placed on the law. foil low-? m No-Rim-Cut Tires :r 10% Oversize These once were the main tire troubles.
