SORE AND LAME FROM HARD
EXERCISES? WELL, HERE ARE
[
When YouTire of the Embonpoint Strenuosities,
Vary Your Health Quest With These Novelties
Keep Up the Abdominal Work, Says
Joe Bean, and Add Some Good,
Strong Development for the Mus
cles of the Sides and Lower Back.
By Joe Bean.
H AVING started at. the embonpoint, or bay-window, we will
now journey around eastward on the waist-line to a posi
tion surrounding the lower part of the spine, flanked by
the big muscles that are, or ought to be, in evidence across the
sides. We have already considered regular exercises for the ab
dominal muscles, the chest, the shoulders and the back, and it is
understood, of course, that these are not to be abandoned, but
rather to be continued in conjunction with tin* following.
And just a word about all the exercises. We have gone through
some stunt* almost acrobatic enough to be put on with a circus.
And we doubtless have felt the
effects of the treatment in sore
and stiffened muscles.
That is the penalty of care
lessness and negligence. And
moral of that is: Don’t ever
again permit yourself to become
unfit for good, healthy exercise,
simply through laziness or indif
ference; It pays to stay in mod
erate training all the time.
That’s merely good business. No
sentiment about it. Much of your
ability to command a living and per
haps to provide for a family depends
on your physical fitness. And what
kind of a business man would he be
who would grudge fifteen minutes
spent daily in exercise that would
give him health and more capacity
to earn and to enjoy his living?
For the Busy Man.
The following exercises are pecu
liarly adapted to the use of the busy
man, who has no time to go regularly
to a gymnasium, put on gym clothes
and spend an hour or two in class
work daily. •
Cut No. 1, for example, is a fine
thing to imitate the first thing after-
hopping out of bed in the morning.
(Standing with feet together and
hands on the hips, swing one hand up.
arm straight and stiff, over the head,
at the same time extending the op
posite leg and raising it as high as
possible. Do this about twenty times,
and then change for the other side
for an equal number. Then alternate
the movements, turn about and finish
by jumping with feet well apart and
raising both arms over the head.
Cut No. S.—Lie on left side with
left arm extended and head resting
on It, right arm over head. Bring
right arm down and right leg up at
the same time. Do this about twenty
times on each side.
Something Like Swimming.
Cut No. 3.—Die on the stomach
with arms extended and resting on
the floor. Raise arms and legs si
multaneously. as far as possible, keep
all the limbs rigid. This is great for
the back and chest. The head should
be kept well back.
Cut No. 4.—-Swinging from a door
frame or other beam you can reach,
raise the feet until the legs, held rig
idly, are at right angles to the body.
Repeat about ten times, if you can,
and don’t bend the knees.
RECORD-SMASHER ADMITS
HE IS A PROFESSIONAL
RALEIGH, N. C., August 2.-—Rich
ard Little, the Cornell student whose
mile run about a month ago at Hick
ory, N. C.. gave him the world’s rec
ord. will run no more as an amateur.
He has confessed that he received
$6,000 for his recent exploit.
Little broke the world’s amateur and
professional record for one mile on
his privately constructed track at
Hickory.
Norman Tabor, the miler from
Brown University, competed against
him. Little’s time was 4:12 1-5. He
is a graduate of Lenoir College, South
Carolina, and is 19 years old.
His confession ends the Oornell-
Harvard controversy over him, and lie
has attached his signature to a con
tract as principal of the Newton
Graded School.
Four New York clubs subscribed the
money for the race at Hickory, ac
cording to the man who held some
of it. Little's admission was volun
tary and followed Cornell's declina
tion to yield him to Harvard.

Man Who Gives His Best Efforts
Always Finds Favor With
Ring Followers.
CHARLES EBBETS GATHERS
UP MINOR LEAGUE STARS
By Otto C. Floto.
CNVER, Aug. 2.—A "Constant
Reader” slips me the follow
ing In this morning’s mail:
“Why are some fighters more pop
ular with the spectators than others?”
There is sure some of ihe "Sam i
Lloyd” stuff in this query, but we
attempt to solve It without expecta
tion of any reward whatever.
There are many reasons why sorhe
fighters are more popular with the
spectators. Sometimes a boy is raised
in the city or the neighborhood ir.
which he battles, and, naturally, his
pals, his friends of boyhood days,
are there with him to a man. Then
there is another clasp of lighters, who.
by their gentlemanly behavior, annex
a following. They have a personal
ity that calls for,support. »lnd they
manage to get it. But the most pop-
uler fighter we have found is tb® fel
low who always gets in the ring and !
"delivers.'' The fellow who mixes |
matteio right from the jump, cut*
out all stalling and avoids clinch
ing and holding on as much as it is
possible for him to do—that's the
popular brand of pugilist and in equal
favor in the North, East, South and
West. The whole world loves the
chap that gets out and ‘‘does.’’
”Staller M is Unpopular.
The most unpopular style of pug ts
the "staller”—the fellow that's al
ways looking for the shade, the man
who attempts all sorts of petty tricks
himself and then casts a longing look
at the referee if his opponent should
happen to unavoidably transgress.
That’s the kid that gets the specta
tor's goat, and in consequence also
eurns his displeasure and taunting
remarks.
Many a fighter has often lost a de
cision because those seated about the
ringside were antagonistic to him.
They shout their disapproval at him
whenever able to do so. and praise the
work of his opponent in such strenu
ous fashion that a referee's mind be
comes warped and bewildered so that,
try as he will, he can not give a fair
verdict to the fighter against whom
the spectators are expressing their
hostility.
Trick Boxer Not Liked.
The day for the boxer who employs
questionable methods and trick stunts
to succeed is past. The folks watch
ing the contest know as much about
the fight game as the fighter himself,
and they soon discover attempts to
stall and to clinch, as against th?
work of the opponent who Is doing his
best to win according to the Queens-
berry code.
For that reason we feel safe in say
ing that the fighter who goes into tiie
ring and does his work in clean-cu;
fashion, without resorting to tricks or
mean tactics, is the most popular in
the eyes of the fight fans.
j No. 3. Lie on stomach, arms
■ extended and resting on floor.
ii
| Raise arms and legs as high as
j possible, keep all limbs rigid.
i£eep head well back. Twenty
times will be plenty at first.
No. 1. With feet together and
hands on hips, swing one hand
upward with arm rigid and raise
opposite leg as high as possible.
Do it twenty times and then
change to other arm and leg.
Then alternate. Then jump with
feet apart and raise both hands
over head.
No. 2. Lie on left side, arms
over head, head resting on left
arm. Bring right arm down and
right leg up at the same time.
Repeat on opposite side, about
twenty times each way.
No. 4. Swing by the hands
from a door frame and raise feet
with knees rigid until legs are at
right angles to body. Try to do
it ten times.

Wood Accomplishes His Ambition
+••}• +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +••)
Long Wanted the Western Title
By Tiok Tichenor.
W HEN Warren K. Wood won
the Western amateur cham
pionship week before last he
performed a feat which it had long
been his ambition to accomplish.
Time and again it has seemed that
Wood had a fine chance to win this
event, but €V*h time he has seen his
chances slip away from him. Only
last year at Denver he worked his
way to the final, and it looked as if
he would defeat his old-time rival,
Chick Evans, but at the end, when he
was one up and only three holes to
play, if I remember correctly, when
victory was almost in his grasp, the
break went against him and he lost
on the very last green.
He has always been a consistent
performer and has been a member of
the Chicago team each time it has
won the Olympic cup competition. As
a matter of fact, in the handicap list
of the United States Golf Associa
tion there are only two men rated bet
ter than Warren K. Wood. On this
list Jerome Travers is placed at
scratch, with Chick Evans at one, and
Warren K. Wood, Walter J. Travis,
Fred Herreshoff, Paul Hunter, Albert
Seckel and Oswald Klrkby at two.
He is rated better than E. M. Byers,
W. C. Fownes, Jr., and H. Chandler
Egan, all of whom have had the good
fortune to be the amateur champion
of the United States.
In the qualifying round, Wood fin
ished second, being only one stroke
worse than Chick Evans, who finish
ed with 151 for his two rounds.
When it is considered that the ex
ecutive committee of the United
States Golf Association in handicap
ping the players of the United States
places Wood and Travis at the same
figure, it Is to be wondered that
Wood’s ambition to w f in the Western
title has not been accomplished long
ago.
• • •
A S the Western championship this
year marked the first victory of
it by Warren K. Wood, it also mark
ed the first appearance in this event
of E. P. Allis III, who was Wood's
opponent In the final.
Allis sprang into prominence at the
very beginning of the tournament,
when, on the first hole of his second
qualifying round, he holed a one on a
hole 306 3 r ards in length. Of course,
the fact that the ball found the hole
was purely an accident, but the fact
remains that it was an exceptionally
fine drive, which put him on the
green at a hole of this length.
Allis next got into the limelight
when he disposed of Chick Evans in a
most decisive manner. In this match
he went to the front early, and at
lunch time he had the former title-
holder four down. This lead he held
until the end of the match, which
took place on the thirty-third green.
In the final against Wood he made
a game fight, but could not overcome
the lead which Wood secured early in
the morning round.
• * *
P OSSIBLY you have asked yourself
the question, "Who i3 Allis?”
To be perfectly frank, when I read
of his defeat of Evans, I asked this
question myself, and, being unable to
secure an answer, I began to search
the records to get an answer. By
piecing together the small bits of dope
obtainable, I find that he la a mem
ber of the Milwaukee Country Club
and that he is a member of the Har
vard golf team, and that he ha* won
the Wisconsin State championship,
and that he was playing in the West
ern championship for the first time.
This is truly not a long record, but
if his work in the Western Is a fair
sample of the golf he is capable of
turning out regularly, he will not long
remain as a five man on the United
States Golf Association’s handicap
list.
• • •
B Y a press dispatch I see that it
is not at all unlikely that Jerome
Travers will take another try at the
British amateur championship next
year.
After winning the championship in
this country in 1907 and 1908 Travers
crossed the Atlantic and attempted to
duplicate in 1909 the win of Walter
J. Travis in England five years be
fore. At that time Travers did n^t
keep himself in the best of condition,
and, although he had several good
practice rounds, he made no show
ing in the tournament, being beaten
in the very first round. Since that
time he has taken better care of him
self, and this year is winning with
great regularity in the tournament*
thus far pulled off.
• • •
J UST how high Jerome Traver*
stands in the estimation of Har
old H. Hilton, who has five times
won the British amateur champion
ship, may be judged from the follow
ing, which is taken from Mr. Hilton’s
latest book, entitled "Modern Golf:”
"The success of Jerome Travers in
the championship at Wheaton was a
wonderful example of the powers of
persistent concentration, under most
trying circumstances, as the consist
ent failure of his wooden club play
was sufficient to break the heart of
a man of stone. That he was him
self disgusted with his efforts fi*om
the tee was most plainly evident; he
did not attempt to hide it, but the
remarkable thing was that it did not
seem in any way to affect his sub
sequent play up to the hole. On the
other hand, it seemed to spur him on
to greater effort.
"Many players, when hitting their
tee shots as Mr. Travers w T as hitting
them that week at Wheaton, would
have been inclined to throw up the
sponge at once and for all, for it is
certainly most distressing work hav
ing to keep playing the odd from all
manner of unlikely places on the
course. But the severe task which
Jerome set himself apparently made
him try all the harder.
"It was the pluckiest exhibition I
have ever seen come across, as it
was not confined to one round, but
went on during the w'hole six days’
play. But to my mind, Jerome Trav
ers is quite an exceptional match
player; I know of none better.”
It is to be hoped that Travers
makes the effort to lift this cup.
While such an effort when made sin
gle-handed is fraught with great
chance of failure, still you never can
tell, and if America is to w r in this
event again we have got to keep try
ing and trying until some one accom
plishes the desired result.

MEMPHIS, TENN., Aug. 2.—
Schweitzer’s Infield drive which
Shortstop Clancy barely touched al
lowed Baerwald to trickle across with
the fifth and winning tally in a
drawn-out, twelve-round battle with
New Orleans here to-day. Memphis
should have won it at the regulation
limit. Their playing on the base* and
in the field was a detriment to their
own chances.
