I
C HRISTY MATHEWSON, the old
master. and A1 Demnree, the
ex-Mobile hurler, are fighting it
out for the pitching honors in the

won 20 games and has lost but 6.
Demaree has led his team to victory
on ten occasions, while three teams
to see if it will i have managed to take his measure.
Humphries, of the Cubs, is tied with
Demaree.
These averages Include

By.Toe Bean.
I N continuing the subject of general exercise, I want to impress
upon the minds of my readers the importance of regularity in
I the work—or play, as I would rather put it. 1 am not advo
cating development that would become a Sandow or a statuq of
Hercules. But I am trying to hark hack to the youthful days when
you were doubtless told that, exercise was a most important steD
In achieving the grand combination of “a sound mind in a healthy
body.”
Very likely that idea stuek while you were young. Tt, is an
attractive idea for youth, when the natural pressure of health and
spirit seeks an outlet in any I
kind of physical activity.
But as you grew older, it also
is very likely that the daily por
tion of exercise became some
thing of a grind. Perhaps you
stopped all at once; perhaps you
let up, little by little. Either
way, the chances are you be
came too lazy—to be frank about
it—to keep up the system that
more than anything else will
serve to keep you young.
Or maybe you were taking
S|©ar “life work” so seriously
that you came to consider as
wasted the time spent in out
door sports and exercise.
Well, well—I know how it Is.
But let’s not be so serious about It
JAIL We can do more work and bet
ter work in eight hours and a half a
wky, when feeling fit and line, than
we can in nine hours a day. when the
K>or body has to be driven to It.
>on't forget that, when you are cal
culating the value of a few minutes
spent in exercise,
“pay."
It puts a new look on your face,
too.
Instead of dragging yourself out
of bed in the morning Just in time
to crawl Into your clothes and get
outside a hasty breakfast, set the
old alarm clock thirty minutes earlier.
Be Kind to the Clock.
Then when it rings, don t throw
a shoe at It and turn over, but Jump
out of bed and turn off the buzzer.
Then romp through the ten or fifteen
minutes' exercise and get some fun
out of It. Before you hav e been at
it two minutes the sleep fog will
have cleared from your brain and
your eyes will be wide open.
Then the cold bath and a hard rub
with a rough towel—and when you
look yourself over in the mlrmr you’ll
be surprised at the color In your fat e
and the clearness of your eyes.
Also, you can shake hands with
your breakfast and greet It with a
new regard and a warmer Interest.
jTake your time and chew the food
well—and you'll get to the office with
p. cheerful visage that will make your
prionds wonder who left you the for
tune.
W And It does keep you young The
tner© fact that there is a tinge of
gray In your hair has nothing to do
with putting you In the has-been
class. A man is as young as he
feels, you know. And exercise will
keep you feeling young.
Get You All Over.
The exercise illustrated to-day also
come under the head of general ex
ercise, as they reach so many dif
ferent parts of the body that the few
that escape their benefit are hardly
worth considering.
No. 1.—This was one of our easy
‘^tricks, back In our boyhood days; now
^aee what you can do with it. Stand
’erect, hands above head, and bend
?over to touch the floor with the fin
ger tips without bending the knees,
if that proves too easy, touch the
floor with the knuckles.
No. 2.—This is not designed espe
cially for chorus girls. n*> matter what
you mav think of its looks. Keeping
both legs rigid, bring one of them
up to light angles with the body,
it the same time bringing down hand
from above the head to touch the
toes.
No. 8.—Start with feet well apart
; and hands over the head. Bend one
snee. keeping the other rigid, and
xiwer the hand on the "bent knee"
dde to touch the floor, keeping the
>ther arm pointing upward and look-
ng in the same direction.
No. 4.—A little jumping stunt.
Starting from erect position. Jump the
feet apart, forward and backward, al
ternating and swinging the arms up
ward and downward, repeating quick
ly. and alternating both feet and
inns.
FOLEY TO COACH MARQUETTE.
MILWAUKEE. WIS . Aug. 1«.—Dr.
Lee Foley, former All-Western end.
has been named as head coach at
Marquette University after three
years' service as assistant coach. He

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Charles A. Co-
miskey. owner of the Chicago Ameri
cans. likes baseball reports best when
they are written in plain English, while
professors at the University of Chicago
deplore the possibility of the elimina
tion of slang from the accounts of
games. These unexpected attitudes
were learned to-day in a vote being
taken by a local daily to determine Just
how the followers of the national pas
time want the games described
“I am In favor of a clean, plain Eng
lish story of a baseball game, said Co-
miskey, who has Just returned from the
woods of Northern Wisconsin. ‘‘What
readers want to know is who won the
frame and how it was won. When those
facts are'covered up with a lot of use
less words the reader is apt to glow
tired."
“I think it would be pretty tame to
report baseball in plain, ordinary Eng
lish,’’ said Professor Nathaniel Butler.
“There is a species of humor on the
sporting page which is enjoyable. We
want the picturesque in the reports, but
the writer shows a defect when it is
impossible for the layman to understand
him.’’
Several other professors at the uni
versity declared their preference for
stories sprinkled with slang.
