PLACE IN BIS SYSTEM
OF GENERAL EXERCISES
Athletic Dancing an Enjoyable and
Beneficial Diversion—It Is Recom
mended for Grace and Poise, as
Well as for Muscular Development.
LIGHT, FANTASTIC TOE
IDEA 0, K„ SAYS JOE
T
By Joe Bean.
HIS little series on health-building will close with th«* article
next Sunday, and I am going to believe that those of my read
ers who have tried the exercises I have outlined have profited
by the work. I know absolutely that the exercises will do what I
have claimed for them ; that is a matter of personal experience. And
I have tried to give directions explicitly that there woul
chance of misunderstanding them.
1 want to emphasize again—because it can’t he made too
strong—that the only way to get permanent results from exer
cise is to take the exercise regularly. If you take exercise only
once a week, or even twice a
week, you will practically be
wasting your time, besides en
during the soreness that always
results from the first strains
upon unused muscles.
That soreness will return
every time yon exercise, unless
you exercise frequently enough
to accustom the muscles to the
work. Then, and not till then,
will your system begin really to
profit by the work.
Every Day Be»t.
The best plan is to exercise every
day, if possible—at the same time of
day, as nearly as you can. But don t
mako it less than three times a week,
by all means.
One form of exercise indulged in
by a great many persons, and one
that has caused a great deal of gen
eral comment, is dancing
In physical education, dancing has
been playing a role of increasing im
portance for some years. Children are
learning folk dances In the kinder
garten. Other persons study the es
thetic styles, which make for grace
and ease in muscular movement and
carriage, an aim particularly desirable
in young women.
Then there is “athletic dancing.”
and that form of terpslchorean de
velopment really comes under the
head of general exercise.
Athletic dancing might he stretched
to include the “tango.” the “‘turkey
trot” or the “hunnv hug,” no matter
what you think of those doubtful but
strenuous maneuvers. Certainly ath
letic dancing would Include the round
dances, the waltz, the two-step, and
eo on. and all may be used ns general
exercise under this system.
Public dance halls in many cities
are under the supervision of some
city official charged with the duty
of seeing that the tone of the place
is morally healthful and physically
suitable, and young people attending
dances In such places are sure to re
ceive a certain amount of healthful
exercise.
Athletic Dancing.
My advice is to include athletic
dancing in your repertoire. I believe
you will find it a pleasant arid inter
esting diversion, as well as a benefi
cial exercise.
Try these:
No 1,—Standing on both feet, arms
by the sides, swing the arms up in
front, over the head, and at the same
time raise one leg backward, alter
nating the legs. This exercise raises
and develops the chest, reduces the
waist, strengthens the legs and adds
to the certainty of poise and balance.
No. 2—Start same ae in the pre
ceding exercise, but swing the arms
up at the sides. This broadens the
chest and develops the shoulders and
back while reducing the waist line
and strengthening the legs.
No. 1—(Upper.) Stand even
ly on both feet, arms at sides.
Swing arras up over the head,
at the same time raising one leg
backward, as high as possible.
This exercise is fine for raising
and developing the chest, reduc
ing the waist, strengthening the
legs and giving poise and bal
ance.

BAT NELSON 0UTSH00TS
THE CHAMPION RIFLEMAN
HEGESWISCH, Auk. 23.—Bat Nel-
son is again a champion. He’s the
champion rifle shot of Hegeswlsch.
and he’s got the target with him to
prove it.
Bat was the high gun yesterday at
the Danish sharpshooters’ affair, and
his perfect score of 25 Is no fluke.
Champion C. T. Westergaard shot 24
in the meet.
The former lightweight champ still
has hopes of get ing Willie Ritchie
into the ring with him. H« wants one
more flght, and It’s going to be a
knockout, so he declares.
“I started my career with a knock
out. and I’m going to win it wPh
one,” says the Battler.
They want him in Walla Walla,
Wash., for September 15 with an op
ponent yet to he sheeted.
In the meantime Bat will continue
to collect his rents and repair his
fences in Heg«swisch.
No. 2—(Lower.) Same as the
other exercises, except that the
arms are raised sideways, broad
ening the chest and developing
the shoulders.
One Ball Used
During an Entire
Game in Chicago
Heavy Hitting Contest Required but
One Sphere for Whole Nine
Innings.
CHICAGO, Aug. 28.—A remarkable
feature of a recent Clnclnngtl-Chl-
cago contest In the National League
was that only one hall was used dur
ing the entire play. In spite of the
fact that fifteen runs were scored and
it waa a heavy hitting game Before
the game starts the umpire in charge
is always provided with three new
| balls, one of which goes Into play at
once, while the other two remain in
his pockets until called for.
At the close of the contest Umpire
O’Day still had two clean halls in his
pockety, not having thrown out a new
one during the entire nine rounds
Hank said this was a record for him
in all the years he has been umpiring
Manager Tinker kept the ball which
was in play throughout the game as
a memento of the occasion. It was
pretty badly battered, but was still
In shape for further action.

Smith, Perryman ana Robert
son from Minors.
NEW YORK, Aug 28.—The policy
of John J. McGraw, manager of the
Giants, to maintain a high-class
pitching staff at all hazards Is re
flected in his manner of exercising
options on the minor leagues prior to
the drafting season. Of four athletes
recalled from the "bushes” to the

Polo Grounds as approved tossers.

I F there were any way of disposing
of the inevitable fact that there
are two sides to all questions, we
should be inclined to say that the
men who arrange college football
schedules are a bunch of lucky guys.
But in support of the proposition
that there are two sides to the mat
ter, we are reminded that these same
fellows frequently develop streaks in
the thatch in trying to make both
ends meet in paying coaches, travel
ing expenses and other incidentals.
Again, In Justification of our first
inclination, we put forth the fact that
the field of their operation is unlim
ited, and if they are disposed to do
so they can send their ambitious
bunch of noble young athletes into
more distant territory than Kid Alex
ander ever dreamed, when, after put
ting a hardwood finish on all neigh
boring tribesmen, he retired to the
innermost shrine of his sanctum, bur
ied his face in his hands and bawled
loudly because there were no more
warlike tribesmen within his vision.
• • •
T HE coming season is a fairly typ
ical one. In this immediate sec
tion no distant- voyaging is sched
uled. However, Invasions that may
be considered more or less foreign
have be^n scheduled in a few cases.
The Red and Black squad has sign
ed up with Virginia and the North
Carolina A. and M. Both of these
are strangers in these parts, at least
in recent years. Also, the Athens
squad had arranged a game with
Louisiana State, but it is reported
that this has been called off.
• • •
V7ANDERBILT will take a trip into
v Virginia to tackle the Virginians
on their own playground, this being
in the nature of an “Alphonse-Gas-
ton” In return for a certain enter
tainment held on Dudley Field last
fall. Also, Brother Dan McGugin will
play host at a little family gathering
In honor of Brother Fielding Yost
when the Wolverines make their sec
ond ttip south to tackle the Commo
dores In Nashville this fall.
Neither Tech. Auburn, Alabama
nor Sewanee will tackle any teams
very far distant from their native do
main.
Moving over Into the Lone Star
State, the Long Horns have assumed
for themselves the Job of humbling
the strong Notre Dame. However,
the assuming is likely to prove much
easier going,than the humbling. This
is the first time the Texas squad has
tackled any of the tough nuts of
the Middle West since their trip to
M’Aleer Pays Tribute
To Browns’ Pitchers
Red Sox President Believes Stovall’s
Hurling Staff Is Best
In League.
BOSTON. Aug. 23.—A queer con
dition exists in Boston. Think of
15,000 people going to see a National
League game here, with a few thou
sand the maximum at the American
League ground a
Recently the Braves held a “Maran-
ville” day in honor of the clever 1K-
tle shortstop. Over 15,000 people at
tended. The Red Sox have been draw
ing comparatively nobody.
President Jim McAleer. of the Red
Sox, fell on easy ways last season
when he derived a pennant his first
year as a magnate, but this season
the going Is mighty rough.
"I wish I had the Browns’ pitch
ing staff and had them all season,"
said McAleer. “The Athletics would
not now be leading the American
League race.
"The Browns have the best staff in
the league, and could pitch any ordi
narily good club into a pennant. Of
course, the Athletics can get along
without much pitching, because they
have a wonderful run-making ma
chine. but Ju«»t put Wellman, Hamil
ton. Mitchell. Luverenz and Baum
gardner. to say nothing of the second
string men, with a hard-hitting ball
club and then watch their smoke.”
Chicago in 1904, when they hooked up
with Stagg’s eleven.

T HAT was in the days of Walter
Eckersall, when the Maroon was a
most formidable aggregation. The
Texans, however, were faring very
well for the first few minutes of the
game, having rushed the ball about 60
yard.s after the kick-off. Unfortu
nately, a fumble resuled on an at
tempted smash off tackle, and the
next thing that attracted the atten
tion of the invaders was the compact
form of Eckersall sitting on the ball
under their goal posts, some 90 yard*
away. The final score waa 64 to 0,
with Chicago holding the big end.
In this connection it may be stated
that Notre Dame has taken on quite
a lively schedule for the season. Their
itinerary for the season calls to mind
some of the famous warpath stunts
of the red men. They take on the
University of North Dakota at Far-
*£0, travel east to West Point to tac
kle Uncle Sam’s future military men,
and then trail as far into the South
west as Austin, Texas. Besides these,
the South Bend bunch will tackle
Syracuse and Penn State, two of the
toughest second-string elevens in the
East, and frequently rated among the
top-liners.
• • •
/"■\F course, the Indians will take on
” a schedule that would make any
other team rise up and yell murder.
To begin with, they play three games
in September before the other big
fellows really get limbered up. Then
they follow with nine more during
the next two months. This list in
cludes Cornell, Dartmouth, Universi
ty of Pennsylvania. Syracuse and
Brown. Not only that, but they tac
kle Syracuse on Saturday preceding
Thanksgiving, and then come along
with a match against the Rhode Is
landers on Turkey Day.
Harvard will add one big game to
her schedule in taking on Cornell for
the first time since 1910. Haugh-
ton’s charges will also encounter
the Princeton Tiger again this fall,
following a renewal of football rela
tions after a break of fifteen years.
Also. Penn will tackle the big Dart
mouth eleven for the first time in
some years.
• • •
T HE time when a team in any par
ticular section could win an un
disputed championship for that sec
tion by lambasting every other has
passed, it being largely a matter of
comparative scores now. Hence this
scheme of having one team meet an
other of & distant section helps in
the general scheme of comparing the
relative strength of the two sections
on the gridiron.
Capital Fans Won’t
Pay $100,000 for Cobb
Proposition to Buy Tigers’ Star Out
fielder for Senators Falls
on Deaf Ears.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—A short
time ago local baseball fans donated
$1,000 to Walter Johnson, the Nation
als' star twirler. On “Johnson Day,”
when the donation was presented, the
management raised the ante in the price
of seats. To-day an ambitious fan pro
posed the subscription of $100,000 by
Washington to purchase Ty Cobb from
the Detroit ehib. Here follows some of
the comments on this proposition:
‘'Nary a red after being stung on
Johnson Day.”
“Such a course of procedure wHl
‘queer' the team In Washington ’’
“There’s a limit to the local support
of Griffith’s climbers and ft falls short
of begging $100,000 for them.'*
“The originator of this proposition
must be the owner of the club. He
ought to be investigated.”

CLARK GRIFFITH CAN THANK
JOE YEAGER FOR GANDIL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—Had It
not been for the advice which Joe
Yeager, a veteran on the Montreal i
team, gave to Griffith regarding Chick
Gandil, It is doubtful if the star first
baseman would now be a member of
the Nationals or not.
When Griffith Parted out to get
Gandil he naturally wanted to satisfy
himself as to his ability before he
forked over a lot of money. He found
that there was a variance of opinion
among the players and managers of
the International League as to how
good a player Gandil was. He finally
consulted Yeager, who at one time j
had played for him in New York, and j
Yeager was a strong booster for Gan
dil, saying that he was the best fim
baseman he had ever seen. Yeager’s
praise decided Griffith and Gandil wa^
purchased.
The deal has proved one of the best
the Washington club has ever figured
In, and the clubs—and there were
many after him—who allowed him to
come here have had reason to re
gret that they did not boost the price
the Montreal club received for him.
