New York, July A—Athletics will soon Ive
on t par with drink and drugs, as a de
stroyer of young manhood If some of the
doctors are to be believed.
Dr. Roliert K. Coughlin, of Brooklyn,
affairs that athletics are detrimental to
health, and that when a man sccka strength
for strength's sake he Is on dangerous
ground. The physirlsu—nod he stands high—
has collected a mass of statistics to hack
up his claim.
He declares that athletes are especially
subject to:
Heart disease.
Pneumonia.
Cerebro spinal disease ttnentngltle, neuritis
and the like).
Tube.-culusls.
Infectious diseases of many klgds.
He affirms that 128 athletes died In th,
year Juat closed, their deaths being largely
due to their unusual exertion,.
The average age at death of ths 128 wn,
27 years, while the average duration of life,
according to Insurance statistic*. Is 33 years.

Nashville made It three straight from
Montgomery Saturday. And yet the Climb
era took two oat of three from Atlanta.
Wonder what that would seem to Indi

Rut It was not the Bul*e's fault that the

good hall, particularly when a hit would
have meant two or three runs. This hap
