Carlisle Physician Thinks Warner Is Greatest Handler of Players in the Stars From Less 1 08 ANGELES, Dec. 6.—Boys of the Normandie Avenue School are carrying their heads high, with an air of patronizing condescen sion fur their less fortunate fellows of other schools. Christopher Mathewson, Jr., came to their school—each of them has achieved distinction for life, for he Is a schoolmate of Young Matty. Christopher Mathewson—the great, peeriess Matty, brought tyis son, and the boys all saw him. Had Christopher f'olumbus sailed his caravels into Los Angeles harbor and motored Into fhe playground and made an egg stand on end for each individual boy, the school could not have been more excited. Had President Wilson’s daughter, Jessie, been a boy and come to play football with them Instead of getting married, the sensation out at Nor mandie and Vernon avenues would have been mild compared with the Mathewson sensation. More Than King. King George’s son could have World---Develops Material Than Any Eastern College C ^ARLIflTLK, Pa„ Dec. later al win if Glenn (Pop) Warner Is more or less like bombarding a mountain with a pea-shooter. His silences are r.s huge as his bulk. He fs, even in his den. surrounded by the enormous. I questioned, then ensued a long, seemingly endless pause, dur ing which even the two huj stretched couchant ^n t bearskin rug, noses pointin' ward, tails In unoonsciou mywarrl, day and work half a day. They neveT get Into their togs and onto the prac tice field before 4:30 In the evening, and have to leave It at 5:30. When they get there, they get right down to brass tacks. They work—but It’s fun to them—their dally recreation You don’t see.them walking around taking themselves as seriously as a Presi dent Emeritus because they happen to make the squad, and with their brows puckered in deep thought about football tactics. Practice is Jmrt a At last, seemed dead, the atmos- » vast Indian trophy iit- tion-living-den smoking- of the Master of Foot-, was thunderbolted by a “Huh. Warner has at om his redskin pupils their two most potent weapons against the impertinent curiosity of the whites—their stoical demeanor *nd Ita vocative expression. When hope was flickering itn last flick, a falling log in the open fire place threw a spurt of flame across th* room. It was bright enough to let me catch an unmistakable flicker of fun in the eyes behind the huge lenses of the great ateel-rimmed spectacles. I believe Warner wears these not for 'he purpose of seeing more clearly, but to hide how clearly he does see - most often. I could not flatter myself that I had hidden my embarrassment from the kesn eyes of the man whose wonderful plumbing of the hidden depths of the Indian mind is alone responsible for the placing of tho Carlisle team upon the very pinna cle of football fame. Warner Greatest Trainer. And Just a moment before 1 get to the real meat of this Interview’—the things Warner himself said—while i record the opinion of those who know him best. It is just this: That Jhe Carlisle coach Is the greatest trainer and manager of athletes the world Does It “Kids, did you see him smile right at me when he said ‘Good morning?’ ” “Look at the length of his arms! He’s got a longer reach than Jim Jef fries!’’ Close to Matty and his son was an i awe-hushed circle . farther away, out of earshot, the boys were all talking at once and no one listening. The boy who was late at school will regret his tardiness with a poignancy never experienced before over similar of fense. Live in Bungalow. Mathewson and Mrs. Mathewson and Christopher, Jr., are living in a bungalow’ over at No. 1337 West For- ty-eighth street, a few blocks away, and some of the boys—not many, for it was very early—enjoyed the added distinction of seeing the “Big Train”" romping with little Matty and giving him some lessons in the rudiments of baseball on a vacant lot near the bungalow before .he cranked up his tiny new’ automobile and took the boy to school. The son of Mathewson is but 7 years of age, and he isn’t a big leaguer yet, but he takes to baseball like a duck, to water. He is a dark-com plexioned, winsome little chap; it is evident he has the head for the game and the aptitude, and in due time, with years and his daddy's training, he will have the physique. But he’ll probably disappoint all the new’ friends ne made by becoming a great engineer or a railroad president, in stead of the brainiest pitcher of his generation. “1 haven’t said that he was far and away * greater fighter. His wonderful ring record, showing battles extending over a period of seventeen years. Is indisputable evidence of his claa. “Cyclone Johnny” Thompson, th* Sycamore (Ill.) farmer comes from Danish parentage, although he was born in Ogle County, Ill. Thompson's ring career, which he claims is stilt unfinished, began in 1902, and to-day he is 37 years old. It would be hard to find a more interesting or unique struggle for honors than' that put up by Thompson. Fought in Many Classes. The record book shows that he ha# fought in more classes than any oth er fighter. As a lightweight he mac;# a promising start, later he fought ** a welter, then as a middleweight, and finally took on heavies. As a middle weight the “Cyclone” scored his greatest victory when he defeated Billy Papke, who held the title. The newest Dane to enter the field is Kid Williams, of Baltimore. The top photo shows him circling an end, while in the lower photo he is shown intercepting a forward pass. e Owned the Newspaper and Got Plenty of Boosting, Accord ing to McGraw. Johnny Thompson and Williams Also Good, but ‘‘Battler” Was in Class by Himself. (**■** has seen—not even excepting Connie Mack and John McGraw. He ’an pick a player quicker than Mack and knows human nature .»etter. But he always keeps himself n the background. Warner would sooner run ten miles from an Inter view’ than talk a minute about him self or his work. Read what he sftvs about the Indians and you will under, stand about them yes, all you want o, If you will let him take his If you doubt this statement, reflect hat Thorpe was made an athlete ab solutely against his will. “Nothin’ in It for me,” he would often say when irged to practice In his early days. His mind was fixed upon the material things—fame and applause mattered not at all. he could not feel, taste or mel! these. But Warner talked and worked and thought result, world’s greatest athlete And what Is true of Thorpe Is true of scores of slightly lesser stars of the gridiron, diamond and cinder-track Armaments. The question that produced the flicker aforementioned wan: “How true is the popular impression that nthletics are the end and aim of In dian education at Carlisle?” Carlisle Industrial School. Warner snorted and shifted his 250 pounds of principally muscle In the evi&th&n leather chair. “It's just about as wrong as It ran be,”, h# retorted. “Carlisle is an Industrial -chool. The boys go to school half a J OHN M’GRAW Is telling some In teresting stories of his expe rience on the present world tour of the Giants and White Sox. One of the funniest, he thinks, is the ap pearance at every stopping point of some rustic who believes he is a Mathewson or a Johnson in the mak ing. and only wants McGraw to give him a chance to prove it. “We have not played a town where some fel low’ has no^ braced me and thought that he wak a big leaguer and ready to take his place with the Giants next year so as to help win the world’s championship,” says McGraw. “Most of them carry their batting averages and a scrapbook with the press com ments on their showings for my in spection. We give all these boys a F ROM a number of standpoints the Dane has not played an Impor tant part in the making of pug ilistic history, but when the success of the Danish race is taken into con sideration the fact is plainly dem onstrated that few nations can claim the honor of having three fighting sons—such a select few who might be counted on the fingers of a Mordeeai Brown pitching hand. The mention of three names is suf ficient evidence of what the Dane has amounted to in the fighting game, and as further evidence of the class of the boys who bear them it is only necessary to state tjiat one of them was a world's lightweight champion, the other a claimant for the middle weight crown, with as good a right to the title as any of the other con tenders, while the third, practically a newcomer in the game, bids fair to soon become bantamweight champion of the world. Greater Danish Fighter, a Matthew Battling Nelson un- -doubtedly was the greatest Danish fighter that ever crawled through the ropes to do battle.. What Nelson has done in pugilism has been much, in fact so much that the "Durable Dane as he is familiarly termed by the glove fraternity, realized the fact .and wrote a book of his caarer and without disparaging Nelson's, ability as an author, it can truthfully he much thought to what the boy is going to be,” said Mathewson. “You see he is only a little boy yet, and there's lots of time to think of that when he be gins to show his natural bent. “But I am a great believer in the benefits of baseball for the American boy. It Is a great game, a democratic game. I don't see how any other game could take its place In the de velopment of the character of Amer ican boys. It gives them nimbleness of body and mind. It makes them quick of decision and brim full of energy. It teaches them the impor tance of teamwork in everything they do and gives them opportunity to develop the faculty of leadership. “California has a great climate for baseball, and the boys here have a | chance to enjoy the game through a | long season when snow and rain stop j it in the East. This State has sent a ; fine lot of players to the big league, and I’ll bet there are a lot of young sters playing here now on the school grounds and vacant lots that will be big leaguers when they grow up. Any way, they will be better men for the fun they have had at the game. McGraw Discouraged. “Talking of climate, McGraw told me it would rain three months at a time out here. But you’ve had a fine rain and now these are wonderful days. We’ve been motoring about every day, seeing the country, and I expect to do a lot of that during the winter. I plan to see about all of Southern California In that way. I arranged hurriedly to come out when McGraw found he was short of pitch ers for the Western trip, and did not have time to ship my car. When I saw these splendid California roads, l went and bought a little car just for the winter. Yesterday I took the family out to the ostrich farm. The day before that I took a drive through the San Gabriel country and enjoyed some golf at the San Gabriel Country Club. To-day I am going out there for some more golf. I’m mighty glad • I did not let McGraw scare me away from California with that yarn of his about ‘raining here for three months at a stretch.’ ” Send Name and Address To-day —You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vigorous. uxacxiy, ne agreed. “They are chuck full of it and as sensitive as the girl wearing a last year’s Easter hat.

Even the trips away to games are made to bring an educational value to the whole school. The fellows on the team are encour aged to give talks to their societies and classes, on their return from each of these, about the things they have seen and their impression. Another thing I’d like to say about the Indians in connection with these trips,” he added, after a pause, “Is that they seem to take naturally to the ways of civilization. It’s mar velous how they accommodate them selves to their surroundings in such a manner as to give the impression that they are to the manner born. I used to worry about the newcomers on their first trips in Pullman cars and diners or in the first-class hotels. I don’t worry any more now, how ever. They watch others before they do anything, and their powers of ob servation are so keen that they rare ly ever make a bad break.” “That should be a valuable feature in the making of football men,” I ob served. “It is,” responded Warner. “They watch everything and everybody and they never forget.” “What method do you use in the beginning of making players?” I que ried. “Put all the available material on the field and teach them all the fun damentals. Practically none of the boys have any knowledge of sports when they come here. Then, no mat ter how good they prove to be, they have to go through the mill. Because a man. at first glance, shows tho ma terial for a good«back, he is not play ed in that position alone. No man Is considered too important to go through all the paces and play all the positions. That is one of the reasons for Carlisle’s success on the gridiron, and why there is, as a rule, 1 no weakness on the team. It accounts, too. for a large measure of its suc cess in spite of the fact that it has always been noted for lightness in weight seldom averaging more than 3 70 pounds per man.” “Does it take long to develop the players ?“ Guyon and Calac Stars. *‘Not as a rule. Most of my best men hate qualified in their first year. I as. for instance. Joe Guyon and Calac, stsr hacks this year, who made laj»t year’s team ae tackles. That was 1 believe. You see only place on with the whites feeling about this is than the school ing teams. It is really a rivalry between races out their best^eiTort. their success agairifet the athletics is a fair criterion of what the Indians could do If given the same equal opportunity in other fields of endeavor.” “It seems to me,” 1 said, “that the fact that the Indians win so many games away from home denotes a lack of what is called temperament.” “Don’t Worry,” Indian Motto. “Don’t worry, is the Indian motto. The boys are good sports and the best losers in the world. That’s the reason tliey win so many games away from their own dunghill. Their lack of temperament enables them to meet unusual conditions easilv so that travel and change of food, excite ment, and so forth, do not affect them as is the case with white boys. Don’t think,” he added, “that the boys don’t hate to lose. They do. hut they are philosophical about it. Many Ameri can sportsmen could take a lesson from the Indians in the matter of bearing losses man-fashion. In fact, the demeanor of the Indians every- where wins them*the friendship of the people who witness their games. Thq crowds—fans of the home - teams —invariably root for the Indians, and prominent people in each city that wc go to unite in bidding for the op portunity to entertain them. But, in spite of all this, they are invariably modest and gentlemanly. The swelled- head is practically unknown among them. They are undoubtedly the most popular team In the country.” So we have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, In * plain, ordinary sealed envelope to an.f man who will write us for it.
