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.
