FINISHING TOUCHES TO
JOE BEAN’S EXERCISE
SYSTEM ADDEO TODAY
“Everybody’s Doin’ It”—and There’s
Little Danger That All Work and
No Play Will Make Jack a Dull
Boy in Atlanta, Anyway.
By Joe Bean.
I N closing ray little series of exercise-and-health articles, I want
the privilege of making use of a bit of slang which seems to fit
the occasion pretty well. Here it is:
“Everybody’s doin’ it.”
Doing what? Why, exercising. The world is waking up to
tht fact that regular exercise means health, long life and happi- |
ness.
Now, I’m not claiming any great amount of credit in the mat
ter of waking up the world to this important fai t. The world has
a way of coming 'round to things that are good for it, sooner or
later. I’m simply trying, in my
small corner, to make it sooner
for a bunch of people I live
amorfg and know pretty well.
And from the amount of com
ment I have heard about little
lessons in exercise, I feel dis
tinctly gratified by reason of the
idea that 1 have been of some
assistance to health-seekers i n
Atlanta and the South.
I want to repeat that "Everybody's
doing It.” Look at the number of
persona—men, women and children —
who play golf and tennis and baseball
and handball; who swim and row h
boat; who fish and hunt and attend
gym classes and dancing schools all
of them are exercising for healtn,
though they may fancy they are sim
ply gratifying a whim or a fancy.
Especially in Atlanta.
And I am glad to say that this ‘s
ewpecially true In and around At
lanta.
1 do not know of any city In Amer
ica where more attention Is devoted
to healthful exercise and recreation
than In Atlanta. It Is well to boaU
of Atlanta’s commercial and business
supremacy, but 1 take more pleasure
In telling the visitor, “This Is a city
where Jack la In no danger of becom
ing a dull boy through too much work
and not enough play
The modern nhyalcian sees the uses
of exercise very clearly, and he does
not hesitate to prescribe for many a
patient, in place of the drugs and
tonics of the old school, systematic
exercise and a moderate diet.
Business Men Realize It.
Why Is It most business men—espe
cially the more successful business
m**n—leave their desks nt 4 o’clock
and motor out to the nearest golf
course or tennis courts?
Business men are ..*iuing out that
the best Investment the*- can make is
exercise—that It pays bigger divi
dends than anything In the way of
factories or stores.
Modern business demands first -
class physical condition In order that
the brain may be fresh and keen to
plan and execute the swift tactics of
the commercial whirl.
And exercise Is the answer.
Stress Regularity.
Now, my little course of Illustrated
lectures If rpdlnr I have enjoyed
writing them, and I hope you have
profited by their use -If you have
tried the svstem faithfully, 1 have ni
fears for the result.
The main point—remember this—
Is "regularity. 1.
Finishing Touches.
Here is the last set of exercises
No. 1. Sink to the "full squat" po
sition and walk around the room,
raising and lowering arms alternately
with the steps. This is a fine setting
up exercise to take Just after you ret
out of hod in the morning
No. 2. The "medicine ball" is a
whole gymnasium In itself. Get some
body to rehearse with you. and th**
pair of you will get all the work you
need. In this stunt stand erect, raise
the big ball overhead, lower It hack
of head and throw from that position.
No. 3. A combination * No. 2 and
the full squat. Raise the ball over the
head and then lower It behind head,
at the same time sinking to the full
aquat position. Straighten up and
throw the ball at the same time.

CLEVELAND PITCHERS NOW
PATTERN AFTER “MATTY”
CLEVELAND, OHIO. Aur 30 —
Three members of the Naps’ pitching
staff have mastered the fadeaway hall
invented by Christy Mathewson, and
have been using It lately to deceive
batters.
Cy Falkonberg ’earned the delivery
while with Toledo, and his employ
ment of It Is the chief factor In his
successful comeback, he says Falk-
enberg showed Vean Gregg and
George Kahler how to throw It. and
after experimenting for a month, both
added It to their regular repertoire
about six weeks ago.

GRAYSON’S COMPLAINT"
AGAINST MURPHY DROPPED
ST. LOUIS, Aue. SO.— President B.
B. Johnson, of the American League. 1
to-day telegraphed the sporting editor
of a local paper that the Nath 1
Commission would take no further
action In the complaint of William
Grayson, Jr., former owner of the
Louisville Association team, against
Charles Murphy, president of the Chi
cago National*.
Grayson recently was barred from
organized baseball by th National
Commission and was fined $600. Gray
son then gave out for nubllcatlon cer
tain letters which he claimed exposed
Murphy as a violator of baseball law.
MEDICINE BALL IS

T OMORROW will be a real Labor
Day for all the golfers, who
start in the amateur cham
pionships of the United States.
It is on that day that the first 18
holes of medal play of the qualifying
round will be played. It is this round
whk*h will cut the field down from
something like 200 starters to the 64
players who return the low r est scores.
This means that more than two-
thirds of the entrants will be elimi
nated on the very first day of the
tournament. With this fact known to
every one of them, it Is to be expected
that practically every starter should
go to the first tee at least a bit ner
vous.
It Is this nervousness which «aupes
the scores In a qualifying round to- be
several strokes higher than Is gener
ally expected by the public. As Nip
per Campbell so aptly put#it two or
three years ago, when the amateur
championship was held at Brookline.
"You have got to add two strokes for
the pencil and two for the nerves.” I
believe that those who have kept
track pf the scores In the qualifying
round in the big events will agree
that Campbell was right in his dope
when he made this statement.
* * *
T F reports are to be accepted as cor-
1 rect. It is not only the amateur
who is nervous in these elimination
contests, but the professional as well.
It is said that in the open matches
at Holycke last June there was much
fear and trembling among the pro
fessionals that an off-day in the qual
ifying round should put them down
and out of the tournament. That this
fear wa* not without foundation is
evidenced by the fact that four of
the American team failed to weather
It, while George Duncan, who is ad
mitted to be one of the most brilliant
golfers in the world, also failed to
qualify, and J. H. Taylor, who even
tually won the tournament, had to
hole a good put on the last green to
get a tie for the last place.
• * •
LIVERY qualifying round has its sur.
prises Last year Fred Her-
reshoff, who had made such a bril
liant flght'agalnst Hilton In the finals
at Apawamls, failed to qualify. In
1911. the year after he had won the
championship, Bob Gardner was not
at his best on the qualifying day and
so went down and out. Also I recall
that H. Chandler Egan, when he was
considered as good as any player in
the West, failed In 1909 to get In.
With the knowledge of the possibil
ities of failure before him, it is to be
expected that there should be a sigh
of relief when a qualifying round is
over.
After the first day’s work has cut
the field down to 64 will come a sec
ond round of 18 holes medal play,
which will cut down the field to the
32 players who have the lowest scores
for the 36 holes.
* • •
TF I may hazard a guess at what It
1 will take to get Into the first 32, I
would say 165 strokes. This may
seem a little high, but when you con
sider that Garden City Is a harder
course than either Apawamls or
Wheaton and that 163 got In at
Apawamls and 164 at Wheaton, I do
not think this estimate at all too high
but am Inclined to raise It a stroke.
• • »
A FTER the qualifying round comes
1 x tne fight at match play for the
survival of the fittest. On the after
noon of the second day the first round
of the tournament will be played and
this is the only round which will be
at eighteen holes.
Among those who are certain to be
In attendance, and who are certain to
weather the qualifying round—If there
is ever any certainty where a qualify
ing round is involved—are Jeronre
Travers, the present title holder;
Walter J. Travis, who has thrice won
the championship, and Chick Evans,
of Chicago, who was runner-up last
year at Wheaton to Jerome Travers.
While, of course, in an event of
this kind one never can tell, still I f
look for one of these three to keep*
winning to the end. Of course In any
game the dope may be completely
wrecked and an outsider come through
and win, but as a before-the-tourna-
ment bet, I would rather have my
money on these three than any other
three players who will be In attend
ance. Of the three, Evans has the
poorest golfing temperament. He Is
inclined to take his matches too light
ly and If given a good lead In the
early part of a match is apt to grow
over-confident and ease up. This was
true in his match at Prestwick In the
British Amateur Championship, w’hen
after being three up at the seventh
hole he eased up and was finally
beaten. Again at Wheaton last year
in the final against Travers he was
three up at the turn in the morning
round, but Travers overtook him and
won, 7 and 6.
• • •
P OSSIBLY "Chick” has learned
from these two experiences—and
I hope he has, for I should like noth
ing better than to see him win—that
it doesn’t pay to ease up because you
have your opponent down early in the
match.
• • *
7TRAVERS. on the other hand, is a
1 player who is never discouraged.
If ever a man had cause to be, it was
Travers at Wheaton last year. At
this tournament he was not hitting
his tee shots at all well, but this fact /
made him stick all the hnrder to his /
work and he won, ev^n though he was
forced to play the odd for all kinds of j
places on the course. This year I
he has been winning with great reg- I
ularity, though early In the year at a
tournament at Wykagyl he was suf
fering from trouble with his tee shots,
as at Wheaton last September.
* * *
G ARDEN CITY Is the home cours**
of that grand old man, Walter J.
Travis, and It goes without saying
that he knows every Inch of apace
and every blade of grass on It. He is
a man of whom It may be said that
he never really plays a careless shot.
It has been seven or eight years since
he won his last championship, and it
has been six years since he was one
of the finalists, which was when the
tournament was held at Garden City
In 1908, but If the reports that he is
playing better than ever this year
are true, I should not be a bit sur
prised to see him add another cham
pionship trophy to his collection this
year.
As a putter, it is doubtful If
has an equal anyw’here, and there is
an old golf saying that "a man who
can putt Is a match for anyone.”

Kommers Is Out For
One McGraw's Scalp
PITTSBURG, Aug. 30.—Bred Kom
mers, middle fielder for the Pirates, is
out for revenge. No, Fred Is not going
to scalp anyone, only Fred has designs
on Muggsy McGraw.
A few years ago, Kommers, who wa3
playing In the bush league, had his
highest ambition realized when he was
grabbed up Into the big show. It was
with the Giants that Fred first got his
chance. But Muggsy would not give
him a chance to show his ability anJ
after carrying him around almost an
entire season without trial, shunted
him back into oblivion.
This is the first opportunity Kom
mers has had at getting back at Mc
Graw by showing him just what kind
of a ball player the Giant leader turn
ed down, and if ever a man will try
to put forth his best effort, It will be
Kommers whenever the Pirates play
the Giants.
bases, we have a hunch there would
be a new world’s record for the cir
cuit.
Then Smith and Bisland.
You can gues what the crowd did.
While It was still doing It, Welchonce
fanned, and Wally Smith, taking ad
vantage of the lull produced by this
untoward happening, dropped a triple
deftly in right field.
The Pelican Infield came In on the
grass and the fans succumbed in
platoons.
As for Rivlngton Bisland, he Just
shot a clean hit through the drawn
infield.
That was all.
But carry this along with you:
Some people are always digging at
the Baseball Spirit.
They say It's Comercial.
It’s a Clean Spout.
But not one of the six thousand
fans who saw’ the hopelessly distanc
ed Pels fighting like madmen to beat
the Crackers out of two games and
the last hope of a pennant—not one
fan who was at Ponce deLeon yes
terday can say that and be honest
about It.
The fact that New Orleans Is fight
ing the Crackers to the human limit
Is the thing that makes baseball
worth while.
If the Pels had beat#us both games,
as they certainly tried to do, it w r ould
have been hats off to the Pels.
As it is—hats off to the Pels, just
the same.
And hats off to the Crackers.
