SCRAPPING MANAGER
STILL IN BASEBALL
Both Leagues Boast of Leaders
Handy With Their Fists.
Former Star Player Laments Fact
That Game Is Becoming Hand-
shaking Institution Diamond
Battles Not Numerous.
Jess Burkett, former big lcoguo star
batsman, recently lamented the fact
that baseball was becoming a hand
shaking Institution. There Is not
enough light In tuo modern gamo of
baseball to suit tho aggressive Jess.
Perhaps battles on the diamond nro
not as numerous as they onco were,
hut It cannot ho snld that tho present
condition which Burkett mourns has
been brought about entirely by tho
present crop of managers, for In the
big leagues today nearly all of the
pilots uru known quantities as far as
scrapping goes.
In tho American leaguo thero are
two premier performers with their
mitts in Ed Burrows of the Bed Sox
and "Kid" Gleason of tho Chicago
White Sox. And Jimmy Burke of the
Browns nnd Clarko Orltlltli of tho Sen
ators cannot bo considered shrinking
violets.
The Nntlonal league, however, Is
much better equipped In the mntter of
fighting leaders In Hugo Bezdek of tho
Pirates, John McGrnw of thu Giants,
Branch Itlckoy of tho Cardinals, Fred
Mitchell of tho Cubs and GeorKO Stall
lngs of tho Braves. Any of this crowd
will battle, and If rumors can be cred
ited, any of them can, In a pinch, go
to thu mat with an obstreperous play
er who might happen to get tho Idea
ho can "run" tho boss.
Connie Mack of tho Athletics, Miller
Hugglns of tho Yanks and Hughuy
Jennings of tho Tigers might bo
classed as tho peaceful delegates, be-
causo thoy Invariably try to settlo by
arbitration what tho other scrappy
managers want to Iron out In a battle.
Ago usually takes much of tho fire
of the scrappy leaders, and even John

Several Besides Thorpe Could

Equally as Good.
Jim Thorpe of the Braves who Is

Eddlo Collins has nlso been ranked

MOST RUNNERS FAIL
TO TRAIN PROPERLY
Fault Is Typical of Great Many
Track Athletes.
Majority of Sprinters Do Little or No
Work Outside of Days on Which
They Compete Fall to Build
Themselves Up.
Only n few days ago tho rernarR
was mado to a prominent athlete that
his trouble was thnt he never did nny
training except when ho was on tho
track, and thnt thnt fault was not con
fined to him ulone, but wns typical of
u great many If not most track ath
letes. "The trouble with most of you run
ners of today Is," snld this critic, "thnt
you never do any training nt nil until
you come out to run n race. The meth
od thnt seems to hnvo won npprovnl
of most of you calls for entering ns
many races as you possibly con In tho
course of the season nnd letting flic
running you get In those races stand
ns n substitute for good, hard, per
sistent training."
In many respects this criticism ap
pears to bo well founded If the per
formances of many of the best athletes
can bo taken ns n basis upon which
to pnss Judgment. Instend of building
themselves up by n course of systemat
ic training, middle-distance runners,
for example, enter everything from n
HOO-ynrd sprint to n two-mile race In
preparation for n COO or n 1,000-ynrd
rncu two months hence. They do littlo
training In between nnd once or may
bo twice a week they "run their bends
off" at a distance either too long or too
short for their spcclnl powers.
A man who has received hl3 enrly
training under n competent school or
colle-jo coach rarely If over trains in
such n hnphazard way. Ho bus been
bred Into tho wny of preparing himself
for a given ccntesr by u series of ex
ercises leading directly up to tho event
in question. Just for tho sake of get
ting sonio competition he may run a
raco at n distance us u sort of tryout
n week beforo tho contest toward
which he Is aiming, but he never thinks
of entering everything thnt comes
along, sntlsfylng himself thnt tho run
ning lie does in that wny Is tho kind
of training he needs.
TENNIS CROWDING OUT GOLF
Net Game Is Enjoying Vast New Birth
of Popularity at Wimbledon Court
In England.
Tho Westminster Gazette notices
that lawn tennis, even more than golf,
Is enjoying n vast new birth of popu
larity in England.
"Tho attendance nt Wimbledon each
day, thu cosmopolitan character of tho
entries and the enthusiasm shown for
tho liner points of iho gamo nil show
the hold that tenuis has obtained the
world over. England gavo tho gamo
birth, but for the time being she hns
failed to produce any new body of
grent players.
"Tho English representation at Wim
bledon labors under tho disabilities of
nge, nnd there Is littlo sign ns yet of
tho new generation which waits to fill
tho shoes of the elders. It Is common
ly alleged that thu English youth lacks
tho dash which gives crlspness and
force to tho strokes of the Americans
and the colonials.
"Probubly tho truo reason Is that
England hns n dearth of hard courts
or of grass courts on which thu bound
of tho ball Is true. Tho stroke that
takes nil chances Is only teamed when
n ninn can feel certain what tho bnll
will do when It bus struck thu surfuco
of tho ground."
