SET OF E
AND NOIV SOME EXERCISES THA T WILL BENEFIT
ALL POR TIONS OF MUSCULAR S YS TEM A T ONCE
Many Officials Willing to Render
Financial Assistance Against
Jack O’Connor.
If You Weary of Special Treatment
for Abdomen, Back, Waist and So
on, Here Are Some Fine New Stunts
That Will Help You All Over.
By JOE BEAN.
S O far in my little specifications for building men, I have pre
scribed exercises That would take care of and improve some
particular part of the body, showing just how that exercise
would do the work and explaining its benefits.
And now there appears to be a growing demand among people
who know me and are interested in my work for some general ex
ercises that will be of universal benefit to the digestion, the mus
cular system, and, in fact, to the entire anatomy.
So I am going to give my readers a series of articles on general
exercises.
At that, it must be understood I
that in taking abdominal exer
cises, or waist exercises, or back j
exercises, the part specifically!
brought into play is by no means |
the only part benefited. The
arms and the legs, and frequent
ly the neck, all profit by the
strenuous work imposed on the
waist or other sections.
As regards typically general j
exerciser, there are many games I
that might come well under that |
head. Home work—pottering
about the garden, mowing the
lawn. an4 all that sort of thing—
also may be regarded as general
exercises.
A “Setting Up" Drill.
Following 1b a list of excellent gen
eral exercise*, of the “setting up”
style so much favored In the army
and navy as a means of keeping the
men In fine trim from head to hoelt*.
I don’t know any set of exercises th&t
will prove of more benefit to the en
tire body than those.
No. 1. With the hands on the hip.*
crouch on the left leg. bending the
knees and then extending the right
leg to fhe front, keeping the body
rigidly erect and maintaining the
balance by carefully applied muscu
lar effort. At first you may have to
hold on to something, but that should
be abandoned as soon as possible.
Always bond the knee* as far as pos
sible before straightening out th«»
right leg. nnd in rising bring that
leg back to the bending position and
then rise to the full height again. This
should be repeated, extending the left
leg an equal number of times, after
which the exercises should be alter
nated. It will be sure to result In
soreness of the thighs and hips nt
first, ns no man regularly applies any
such exercise ns this except in this
way. It’s a great tiling for bodily
poise and balance.
Take a “Full Squat."
No. 2. Bend the knees as far as
possible, to the “full squat” position,
it Is called, and at the same time raise
both arms high above, the head. Then
rise to the first position, lowering the
arms ns you straighten the legs. T111^
is fine for practically every set of
muscles in the leg**, feet and ankles.
Also, 1t expands* the chest, and the
balancing necessary to accomplish
the feat brings out much development
of the muscles in the stomach, waist,
back and shoulders. Even the neck
comes in for its part, holding the
head erect and not permitting it to
bob forward, a* you will find it in
clined to do.
No. 3. The rome as No. 2, except
that the arms are extended horizon
tally ^ hlle the “squat’’ is being ac
complished. It is peculiarly adapted
to the development of the chest, arms
and shoulders, also the back and neck
muscles. That part of tHe drill may
be taken standing up. but in conjunc
tion with the “squat” it Is a far bet
ter all-around exercise In all these
exercises be sure to hold the body
rigidly erect, and strive to acquire
“form" and grace in the work. The
head should not be ducked or bobbed
forward, the shoulders should not
be humped or drooped, and there
should be a certain snap and style
about the whole thing that is not
only good to look at. but also aids
greatlv in the development.
And Some Jumping Here.
No. 4. Start in the usual position,
arms at sides heels together, toe*
turned slightly outward. Jump the
feet apart, about three feet, landing
on the balls of the feet, and at the
same time swine- the arms outward
and upward. Then with another
Jump bring the ft«*t together and
swing the arms down to the sides,
resuming the first position. Repeat
about 30 times. It’s great for the
legs, trunk and shoulders and makes
the blood dance i/i the arteries in a
very comforting manner. Also, it is
fine for the breathing apparatus.
DILLON TO BOX KLAUS
IN TWELVE-ROUND BOUT
INDIANA POL.IS, JN’D.. Aug. 9.—
Jack Dillon yesterday accepted tern.'
for a 12-round bout with Frank Klaus
at Boston, August 26. These men
have been recognized generally as the
be*t of the middleweight* during the
last year. Klaus defeated Di ion in
San Francisco, the bout being a 20-
round affair, and Dtllon squarely beat
the Pittsburg champion hero in a
!0-round bout last May.
JOE BUSH FIELDS WELL.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug 9—One
thing Leslie Joe Bush, of the \th-
letlcs, can do just a little better than
anything else except pitch and sin.;
is cover first on aw kward hits to M -
In ire a. He fields his position as • E
es any hurler In the American
League.
1 - T. LOUIS, Aug. 9,—The ever
present "baseball war”—manaser-
player vs. umpire—may be blast
ed should ex-Arbitrator Jack McNul- |
ty win the $35,000 assault suit against
Manager Jack O’Connor, of the St.
LouU Federal club. Umpires all over
the country have read news items of
the 0‘Oonnor-McNuity run-in on June
28. Said officials also have learned of
the heavy damage suit filed by Mc
Nulty against the Federal League of I
St. Louis, charging that the blows de
livered by O’Connor have permanent
ly retired him from the national pas- |
time.
The indicator handlers, according to
a statement by Jack McNulty, fur
ther averred by his attorney, George
Burleigh, have offered McNulty finan
cial assistance in fighting his cause
for the small fortune to pay for the
punches whipped over by the Fed
eral manager The major league ar
bitrators, backed by umpires In the
minor and semi-pro associations,
combined in subscribing a large sum I
to benefit the cause of McNulty.
The men behind the plate, in dire
sympathy with the former field judge,
have written McNulty many letters,
requesting him to accept financial aid
But McNulty or Burleigh will not
deny or affirm the query that they
have granted the request.
Verdict Will Be Important.
McNulty, as far as publicity is con
cerned, is as much in the dark as a
cave without n light. Jack refuses to
b* interviewed. His spirits seem
crushed, while the old happy-go-lucky
greeting formerly delivered by Mac
has passed to anywhere but McNulty.
When asked regarding the aid of
fered by his associates in the profes
sion, McNulty replied: “You’ve got
the dope. Why should 1 say any
thing?” That w as all. McNulty pos
itively refuses to announce the names
of his non-invited rescuers, but from
a little slip it is learned that such
prominent judgment passers as
“Hank” O’Day, "Silk” O’Louglin,
Klein. Rigler and other big arena ca-
voriers are in direct sympathy with
McNulty’s pursuit for Justice.
Should McNulty be returned the
victor in the $35,000 damage? suit, it
is generally supposed that mana
gers. whether owning teams in a third
league or in the big stadium, will act
a bit more carefully before attempt
ing to dow n the reign of the field of- I
flcials.
Baseball mlxups between managers,
players and umpires date back to
Noah’s Ark The most recent bit of
thrills to greet St. Louis fans was the
Stovall-Ferguson affair. George was
barred from the field for a lengthy pe
riod ami fined $100. In 1912 Klem
and Roger Bresnah&n had a fistic en
counter.
Magee in Mixup.
Again, in 1911, Sherwood Magee and
Finneran exchanged wallops. Mr.
Umpire received a few' knocks which
deprived him of several teeth, while
the triumphant boxer paid for his ac
tions by the usual publicity, suspen
sion and diminishing of the bank
roll.
It is not always the team managers
who go after an umpire s scalp and
life. Wrathed players seldom fail to
take their inning with the arbitrator
'h *uld the official seemingly rob the
athl te of a point. The fact that the
m pi res have come to the assistance
t McNulty proves that the fraternity

Walter’s Contract Expires in Oc
tober—Little Trouble Expected
in Signing Twirler for 1914.
W ASHINGTON, Aus. 9—Th«
task of signing Sir Walter
Johnson, the famed flinger
of the local American League team,
will be up to Manager Griffith after
October, 1913. But the Job will not
be a big one, in the opinion of those
who know Griffith and Johnson.
Right now Johnson is serving tb#
last stanza of his three-year contract
with the Senators. He signed the
document at the beginning of the 1911
season, after a misunderstanding with
j James R. McAleer, then manager of
the Capital crew.
• • •
JOHNSON Is drawing $21,000 for
J three years’ work. He signed that
contract after he had reported to the
training camp, returned to his Cof-
feyville, Kans., home and then re
joined the team in the East after the
seajion had opened.
Johnson’* value to the Washington
club Is generally rated more than Ty
Cobb’s usefulness to the Detroit team.
But Johnson will hardly draw down
$12,500, the salary Tyrus is alleged to
be receiving from the Tigers this sea
son.
• * •
JT wouldn’t be surprising if Johnson
1 is slipped a contract calling for
$10,000 salary for 1914, or one for
$30,000 for service during the next
three years. Sir Walter is worth al
most any price he asks.
It is Johnson’s disposition, as well
as his wonderful speed and curves,
that makes him a valuable member
of the Washington team. The local
players have it sized up pretty well,
too As one member of the party
said:
• * *
“AS lon F a * Johnson is a member
of the team there isn’t another
player on it who is going to get swell-
headed. He’s the big noise and is
modest about It. For that reason no
other fellow on our club, no matter
how good he is. or what he does,
will have a chance to crow.”
POISONING
FROM FOOD
Bob Fitzsimmons Was a Close
Second, in the Opinion of
Dean of Experts.
By W. Wj Naughton.
S AN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.—Now it
is a “fight fan’’ living in Wind
sor, Ont., who wishes to draw
me out on certain points.
In a letter dated July 15, he says:
“Seeing in last Sunday’s paper that
you answered a question put by some
fight fan as to who, in your opinion,
was the most perfect Australian box
er, I wish to ask who you consider
was the greatest lighter of all time.
If you do not care to answer that,
would you please state who you con
sider the greatest negro fighter of all
time?”
I’ll do the best I can, and to show
you 1 am not inclined to shirk the is
sue I will answer both your questions.
It so happens that in replying to
the question 1 reply to both, for the
greatest fighter who ever lived, ac
cording to my idea, was a negro. Ami
ills name was George Dixon.
It will be us well for you to remem
ber. Mr. Fight Fan, that this is mere
ly an expression of individual opin
ion. There are no standards by
which these questions can be worked
out and settled with mathematical
exactness. Nor is there anything on
(he face of the earth on which both
laymen and experts disagree more
than the question of merit in pugil
ists. This because fighting appeals to
the emotions. It arouses enthusiasm
and creates heroes and Ideals.
1 have no doubt there is still in
existence a smattering of very old-
timers who \n ill snort at the Idea of
Tom Sayers and Ned O'Baldwin and
Donnelly and Cooper being passed
over in a discussion of this kind for
a slim-limbed yellow skin like little
Dixon. But he is my choice. And I
feel that Bob Fitzsimmons runs him
a close second.
• • •
1 NAME George Dixon because I be-
1 lleve he triumphed over a greater
number of formidable opponents than
any other man I ever heard of.
Some fighters had their run for the
championship goal when the men they
had to cope with were on the down
ward grade. This was notably the
case with Jim Jeffries. He defeated
Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett and
Peter Jackson when each of these
was well past his prime in a fighting
sense. Whether or not he could have
beaten them hr&d he met them at their
best l do not know.
I do know, however, that the world
was raked and scraped for opponents
f<>r little Chocolate Dixon. He met
the best men of the various fight-
fostering countries when they held the
championships of their various sec
tions. and when it was made as clear
is possible that there was nothing lef.
in their own countries that could com
pare with them. And he went through
them all like sunlight through a chink
in a barn.
The same arguments apply largely
in the case of Fitzsimmons. Taking
his opponents man by man he can not
show so big an army of worthy con
quests 'as Dixon, probably, but old
Bob overcame more handicaps than
unv other tighter I have knowledge of.
l'o/ this reason I consider he falls

KELLY AND SHEEHAN SIGN
FOR TEN-ROUND FIGHT
CHICAGO. Auk 9.—"Spike” Kelly
and Tommy Sheehan, Chicago welter
weights, yesterday were matched to
fight ten rounds in Superior, Wis., on
I^abor Day night. They agreed to
weigh 145 at 6 o'clock. Fred Gilmore
signed the papers for Kelly, who has
been idle since he beat Billy Walters
at Kenosha.
CUBS BUY NEW OUTFIELDER.
CHICAGO Aug. 9.—Outfielder
Charlie Stewart was purchased by
the Cubs yesterday. He comes from
the Indianapolis American Associa
tion club, and is considered a prom
ising youngster. He will report next
week.
very' little short of George Dixon in
point of distinction as the world’s
greatest fighter.
• • •
LJERE is one fired at me from a
*■ * point nearer home:
"How does Willie Ritchie compare
with the lightweight champions who
preceded him?”
Up to date he does not begin to
compare in the slightest. Ritchie is
still young and lacking in experience,
however, and may loom up as more of
a world-figure In pugilism when he
has pitted himself against men like
Tommy Murphy', Freddy Welsh ami
Leach Cross. Wolgast, who preceded,
as a champion was a wonderful fight
er bfore appendicitis marked him for
its own. His handling of Battling
Nelson on Richmond Field was some
thing to live in memory even if little
Ad had never accomplished anything
else.
Battling Nelson in his prime was an
interesting performer. And it was his
negative qualities that made him
worth while. There never was a man
within twenty pounds of his weight
who could stand such rough usage
and keep pressing steadily forward.
He wasn’t the most galnly lighter of
his class by long odds, but his powers
of assimiliation covered a multitude
of defects.
• • •
J OE GANS w as a thorough workman.
ami a isght of him in action was
as great a treat as a student of box
ing could desire. He stepped around
in a soft-footed way and was never
out of position. His manner of end
ing it all with a downward clip of
the ri&ht. delivered without drawing
back the elbow, was well worth the
price of admission.

KNOCKOUT OF LORE WAS
ONE OF RING’S QUEEREST
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.—Not a few
strange knockouts have been recorded
since boxing was first inaugurated, but
that one at New Orleans recently when
Frankie Russell was given a K. O. vic
tory over Johnny Lore, of New York,
was as queer as any.
Perhaps it was the first time in ring
history that a man was counted out
while outside the ring. Lore was
dropped twice by Russell and the mext
time was pushed through the ropes.
His feet caught on the lower rope as he
w’ent through, and that much of him
remained in the ring, out his body was
in the laps of ringside spectators.
Referee Burke started counting the
minute Lore’s body shot through the
ropes. At the count of five Lore was
on his feet and at tne seven count he
had partly clambered In the ring again.
He got to his feet and Inside the ring
just in time to hear the cry of "10 and
out" given by the referee.
REDS AFTER HAGEMAN.
DENVER, Aug. 9.—The Cincinnati
Reds are after Pitcher Casey Hage-
man and Second Baseman Hank
Butcher, of the local club. Neither
Magnate Jimmy McGill nor Manager
Jack Hendricks are in any’ haste to
name a price upon these performers.
MAURICE M'LOUGHLlN TOOK
UP TENNIS AT AGE OF 13
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Maurice E.
McLoughlin, who has made complete
the supremacy of the Californians on
the lawm tennis courts and rounding out
his career by returning the Dwight F.
Davis international challenge cv#p to
this country, is a thoroughly' represent
ative American player. He is but 23
years of age and he fulfilled his bril
liant promise by winning the All-Comerr
national championship at Newport last
August.
McLoughlin was born at Carson City
Nev., January 7, 18i»0. It was w'hen 12
years of age that he took up the game
in which he has won the highest Ameri
can honors by' taking both the national
single.*/ and doubles in the same year
This has not happened since 1‘ 05, when
Beals C. Wright scored on both titles,
in the doubles, having Holcombe Ward
as his partner. McLoughlin early' in hit
career began to win championships, be
ginning with the Junior titles in San
Francisco. In 1905 he entered the Cali
fornia State championship, but did not
win an important title until 1907, when
he took the San Francisco city cham
pionship, and from that time on his rise
has been rapid.
Cal Delaney Breaks
With Jimmy Dunn
Fighter and Manager Have Hot Ar
gument and Decide to
Break Company.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 9.—Cal Delaney,
Cleveland’s best featherweight outside
• J championship company, and Jimmy
Dunn are* no longer boxer and manager.
They have severed business and social
relations for all time. Henceforth it’s
one road for one and a different high
way for the other.
The climax to the partnership w*as the
leading feature of the Put-in-Bay’s gay
and sumptuous celebration. That’s
when the split occurred and where
Dunn and Delaney had a feverish argu
ment that lasted several minutes and
the result was that Jim refused to have
anything more to do w’lth the West
Side blonde boy. He claimed that De
laney was becoming more and more un
manageable. Cal debated that he was
not a boy any longer and refused to be
bossed.
Every Bite May Poison—All
Could Be Methuselahs If We
Did Not Shorten Life by Self-
Poisoning.
All food eaten leaves in the stomach
some waste, unused particles. This
waste ferments and generates uric acid,
and when uric acid gets in the blood it
poisons the system. This is termed
Autotoxemia, or Self-Poisoning. Con
stipation, indigestion, biliousness, dys
pepsia. icR Lei ache, languidness and
a w’eake .od ^ steal condition result.
Eliminate Autotoxemia, and we could
live to be hundreds of years old.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT flushes stom
ach and bowels, dissolves the uric acid
which has accumulated and expels it
with the fermenting waste.
Take JACOBS’ LIVER SALT in the
morning before breakfast. You will do
a better day’s work, and with the con
sciousness that your health is safe
guarded against any indiscretion in eat
ing.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is better than
calomel for constipation and bilious
ness. Acts quickly and more thorough
ly, requiring no cleansing after-dose;
causes no after-danger of salivation;
never gripes or nauseates. No other
liver medicine is equal to it; don’t take
the inferior substitute that may be of
fered. All druggists should have the
genuine JACOBS’ LIVER SALT, 25c
