Fourth Will Be Great Day
With Local Sport Lovers
By Priratc Leased Wire.
New York, July i—Athletics will soon l*o
on a par with drink and drugs as a de
stroyer of young uinnhood If some of the
doctors are to be bettered.
I)r. Itobert E. Coughlin, of Brooklyn,
affairs that athletics are detrimental to
health, and that when a uuu seeks strength
for strength's aske he Is on dangerous
ground. The physician—and be stand* high—
has collected a mass of stttlstlcs to back
up his rlnltn.
lie declares that athletes are especially
subject to:
{ leart disease.
'neuiaonla.
Cerebro spinal disease (meningitis, neuritis
and the like).
Tulterculosl*.
Infection* diseases of many klyds.
He affirms that 128 athletes died In thi
yenr Just ringed, their death* l*elng largelj
due to their unusual exertions.
The nrerngc age at death of the 128 w.if
27 years, while the average duration of lliu
according to Inaurance statistics. Is 38 year*
Edward I'nyHon. Weston, Jim O'Jlourko
Jim McGuire, Charley t'ourthey snd. a h-w
of other mighty tueu In th** athletic fl.df
are merely freaks according to the doctor*,
exceptions which prove the rule.
But up to this time there Is no fnlllui
off In the sale of baseball bat*, golf para
pbernnlla and other sporting goods.
Fourth of July vies with Interest In the
s|*ortlug world with the other big day In
the shirt's calendar— Labor day.
Between the two there Is little * choice
and there la always something stirring In
the sporting way In Atlauta on both of
those great holidays.
The prospects for tdg happenings od this
July 4 are good.
The baseball team will play two games
with Nashville. The first one will be called
lu the tuornlug at 10 a. m. and the second
at the usual time lu the afternoon.
It Is likely that. If the weather Is fair
all day, n crowd the like of whleb the
league has never kttown wilt lie on hand
for the festivities; nnd If attendance rec
ords are not shattered the weather man
will undoubtedly !>*• at fault.
The local association la not worrying It
self to death about the attendance figures
that day, for the money will be pooled any
way. but they would like to set a new
record, however, and they stand "t good
chance of doing so.
The Interest In baseball will not be con
fined to the professional end. The Com
mercial league, for example, has three
good games for that day, which will un-
doubtedly luterest all the friends of the
contestants and draw large crowds.
And In addition to that there will be
the Innumerable baseball games among the
amateur teams, from the contests between
men whose hair Is streaked with gray
or perhaps totally lacking—the men who
play once or twice a year—right down to
the kids who play every day.
Certain It Is that every diamond In At
lanta will be In use for that day, and the
swat of the baseball will drown out In
the afternoon the noise of the ofestlve
firecracker.
The Southern Tennis championship will
be In full blast July 4 and will attract
large numbers of spectators. Heats have
l*een provided for. the spectators and a
large crowd will he on hand to see the
battles for tennis honors. One of the fee
tures of the afternoon will be some
the matches In the woman's championship,
which always attract much attention.
The two Atlanta gnn dubs will undoubt
edly put In busy days. All-day shoots are
on at the Atlanta Athletic Clnb and the
Atlanta Gun club and the havoc which
will be wrought In the clay pigeons will
be something rather fierce, though entirely
bloodless.
The local golfers will pat In n quiet day
and It la doubtful If anything will bo stir
ring among the Atlanta lovers of the great
Hootch game.
All In all the Fourth promises to be cele
brated In a strenuous. If not -In a particu
larly fitting manner, by the sport loving
public of Atlanta. Barring rain It will be
n big day with the sports.
