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 buildin<? men, I have pre- j
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 bo of universal benefit to the digestion, the mus
cular system, and, in fact, to the entire anatomy.
So 1 am going to give my readers a scries of articles on general
exercises.
At that, it must be understood
that in taking abdominal exer
cises, or waist exercises, or back
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
exercises, there are many games
that might come well under that
head. Home work—pottering
about the garden, mowing the
lawn, aiuj all that sort of thing—
also may be regarded as general
exercises.
A “Setting Up” Drill.
Following is a list of excellent gen.
eral exercises, 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 heeler
I don't know any set of exercises that
will prove of more benefit to the en
tire body than these.
No. 1. With the hands on the hips
crouch on the left U-g. bending the
knees and then extending the right
leg to Ihc front, keeping tho 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 bend the knee* as fur ns pos
sible before straightening out the
right leg, and 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 thigh a and hips at
first, as no man regularly applies any
such exercise as this except in this
way. It’s a great thing for bodily
poise ar.d balance.
Take a “Full Squat.”
No. 2. Fend the knees us far as
possible, to the "full squat” position,
it is called, and at the same time raise
both arms high above the head. TliTm
rise to the first position lowering th->
arms ns you straighten the legs. Thi3
is tine for practically every set of j
muscles in the legs feet add ankles.
Also, It expands the cheat, 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, as you will find It in
clined to do.
No. 3. The wme as No 2. except
that the arms are extended horizon
tally while 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” 1t is a far bet
ter all-around exercise. In all these
exerclecs be sure to hold the body
rigidly erect, and ntrive to acquire
“form" and grace In tho 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 aides 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 swing the arms outward
and upward. Then with another
jump bring the ftet together and
swing the artns 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 in the arteries in a
very comforting manner. Also, it is
fine* for the breathing apparatus.

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.
Louis Federal club. Umpires all over
the country have read news items of
the O'Connor-McNulty run-in on June
28. Said, officials also have learned of
the heavy damage suit filed by Mc
Nulty against the Federal League of
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 lighting 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
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, ns far as publicity Is con-
*»rnfed, is as much in the dark as a
cave without a light. Jack refuses to
be 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 was 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,
Klem, Bigler and other big arena ca-
vorters are in direct sympathy with
McNulty’s pursuit for Justice.
Should McNulty he returned tho
victor in the $35,000 damage suit, it
I is gflierally 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 down the reign of the field of
ficials.
Baseball mixups 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 fora lengthy pe
riod and fined $100. In 1912 Klem
and Roger Bresnahan 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 fall to
take their inning with the arbitrator
should the official seemingly rob the
IN TWELVE-ROUND BOUT athlete of rt point. The fact that the
I umpires have come to the assistance
of McNulty proves that tho fraternity
uf field Pooh-bahs is a most outreach-
ing body.
Should the preliminary tactics favor
the former fall guy, there’s a good
chance for the war on umpires to
cease forever.
McNulty firmly believes that he’s
irough with the game forever. Suf-
ring from severe headaches and in-
nse Internal pain, Mac declares he
ill never be the same jolly fellow
} of old.

Bob Fitzsimmons Was a Close
Second, in the Opinion of
Dean of Experts.
By W. W| Naughton.
S AN FRANCISCO, Auk. 9.—Now It
1s a “light fan 1 * 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 tiie greatest fighter 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-
t'uo 1 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
his name was George Dixon.
It w ill be as 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 those questions can be worked
out and settled with mathematical
exactness. Nor is there anything on
the 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.
I have no doubt there is still In
existence a smattering of very old-
timers who will 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 sltm-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-
* lieve 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 hrt*l he met them at their
best I do not know.
I do know, however, that the world
was raked and scraped for opponents
for little Chocolate Dixon. He met
the best men of the various light-
fostering countries when they held the
championships of their various sec
tions, and when it was made as clear
as possible that there was nothing left
in their own countries that could com
pare w ith 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
Rob overcame more handicaps than
any other lighter I have knowledge of.

J-JERE Is one fired at me from a
point nearer home
“How does Willie Ritchie compare
wdth 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 hel
has pitted himself against men like
Tommy Murphy', Freddy Welsh and
Leach Cross. Wolgast, w ho 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 tho most galnly tighter of
his class by long odds, but his powers
of asslmiliatlon covered a multitude
of defects.

J OE CANS was a thorough workman,
and a lsght 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 right, delivered without drawing
back the elbow, was well worth the
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' l ore, of New York,
was as queer as any.
Perhaps it was the first time in ring
history that a man w-as counted out
while outside the ring. Lore was
dropped twice by Russell and the next
time was pushed through the ropes.
His feet caught on the low-er rope as he
went through, and that much of him
remained in the ring, but 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
hud partly clambered in the ring again,
lie 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

Butcher, of the local club. Neither
Magnate Jimmy McGill nor Manager
Jack Hendricks are in any haste to
i name a price upon these performers.
MAURICE M’LOUGHLIN 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 law-n tennis courts and rounding out
his career by returning the Dwight F. |
Davis international challenge ci»p to
this country, is a thoroughly represent
atlve American player. He i-s but 2
years of age and he fulfilled his bril
liant promise by winning the All-Comers
national championship at Newport last
August.
McLoughlin was born at Carson City.
Nev.. January 7, 1890. It was when 13
y-ears of age that he took up the game
in which he has won the highest Ameri
can honors by taking both the national
singles and doubles in the same year.
This has not happened since 1905, when
Beals C. Wright scored on both titles,
in the doubles, having Holcombe Ward
as his partner. McLoughlin early in hb
career began to win championships, be
ginning with the Junior titles in Bun
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.
PITCHER MARTINA SUSPENDED.
BEAUMONT, TEXAS. Aug 9.—Joe
Martina, pitcher for the Beaumont
team, has been suspended for the rest of
the season and fined $50 for his indif
ferent work in a recent game.
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
of 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 tne Put-in-Bay's gay
and sumptuous celebration. That’s
w-hen 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 with 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.

NEXT SEASON
Walter’s Contract Expires in Oc
tober—Little Trouble Expected
in Signing Twirler for 1914.
W ASHINGTON, Auk. 9.—Th«
task of signing Sir Walter
Johnson, the famed fltnger
of tho 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
j who know Griffith and Johnson.
Right now Johnson is serving th#
last gitanza of his three-year contract
with the Senators. He signed the
document at the beginning of the 1911
season, after a misunderstanding with
James R, McAleer, then manager of
the Capital crew.
• • •
T OHNSON Is drawing $21,090 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
season had opened.
Johnson s 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.
• * •
TT wouldn’t be surprising if Johnson
*■ 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 long as 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 !■
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
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, sick headache, languid ness and
weakened physical 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
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 b£ of
fered. All druggists should have the
genuine JACOBS’ LIVER SALT, 25c.
if yours can not supply you, full size jar
mailed upon receipt of price, postage
prepaid.—(Advt.)
