It 'DIG SIX' LEADS OEifiEE EOR I C HRISTY MATHEWSON, the old master. and A1 Demnree, the ex-Mobile hurler, are fighting it out for the pitching honors in the National League. Both are members of the Giants’ pitching staff and are doing much to keep Muggsy’s crew on top. Matty is the real leader, as he has 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 played Wednesday# 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 .

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.
