Come On Fans; Let's Argue Joe Tinker picks Ed Walsh aa the greatest pitcher in the world, thereby clearing the way for a debate with Ta rious and sundry residents of the Dis trict of Columbia. Boston might very well get Into the argument backing Joe wood against tho other pair, for tnere is little doubt that the Smoky One only falls short of the excellence of his Il lustrious fellow-fllngers - because he ts not an "Iron man." It is easy to under stand why Tinker should give Walsh tho preference He has batted against the -Big Reel" In "a. few exciting Chicago championships, and he knows, as do nil the Cubs, that the Spit BallJKtaK Isa wonderful pitcher. Perhaps 41 he had also faced ijohneon's scorching speed ha mignt do a little less nasty in ms deci sion. Anyhow, the debate Is open.

Tournament Sore to Be Big Event at Toledo, Ohio, February 25. Toledo, Ohio. Jan. The opponents of the dodo, or loaded ball, are confident that a year hence will see none of the freak balls in league or tournament play In any association under the Jurisdiction of the American Bowling Congress. All oer the mhldle West the bowlers have been balloting on. the advisability of In structing their delegates to vote against the trick sphere In the A B. C meeting to bo held February 75 at Toledo, Ohio. At Chicago the delegates will In all likelihood be Instructed to vote against he freak ball Cincinnati has ruled out the ball, while the Clet eland bowlers voted against it last week New York ousted the sphere to years ago, Mil waukee instructed its delegates In a spe cial meeting to bar the ball, while fat Loul- Is almost solid against It The local attitude on the question Is very uncertain. Toledo holds 'many load ed and dodo ball bowlers, and thee may put up a sturdy battle before relinquish ing their weapons. Although hecrctary Langtry has not received many entries for the big tour ney as ret, he has received correspond ence from various places asking him In regards to various dates. The Columbus, Ohio., contingent has written asking March 7, on which night It Is expected that about twenty teams from the Ohio capital will roll Posters Are Oat. Last week saw the distribution of 10,000 flaming posters through the land boosting the coming tourney. This was followed by a flood of entry blanks, which pene trated to the most obscure corners of the land, wherever bowling flourishes. The result of this work Is expected to show soon, for tho local tournament com pany's officials, as well as the N. B. C. heads, are confident that when the time comes the teams will be here as strong ras ever before. The Terminal Building in which the 1S13 tourney will be held. Is the best building of its kind eer to house a tournament pf this nature Secretary Langtry is very enthusiastic over the outlook and predicts a auota of entries equalling Chicago's mark of 600 five-man teams From his Milwaukee offices Langtry writes that he expects to secure ninety teams from Chicago,, twenty-five teams from St. Louis, twenty teams from Mil waukee, fifty teams from Detroit, which Is located but sixty miles from Toledo: tfilrty-fHe teams from Cleveland, and an equal number from Indianapolis and Cin cinnati, two other big bowling centers, which are situated Just a night's ride from Toledo. In preparation for the thirteenth an nual international tournament of the American Bowling Congress opening here on Washington's Birthday, the Toledo Tournament Company his contracted for sixteen alleys with automatic plnspotters and COil sets of pins. The tournament will run from February 23 to March II In the Toledo Coliseum building. Th tournament Is assured of 4.O04 bowlers, the best of the United States and Canada. C A. Langley reports an Increase In membership over the last year, when 5S6 five-man teams contested at Chicago. Five-man teams ar expect ed this year to number about 600.

Chicago voted against the use of the loaded and dodo balls by an overwhelming majority Irr the balloting held while the recent city tournament was under way at the Ran dolph Alleys, and It now looks as Jt the coming tournament at Toledo will see the trick balls In action -for the last time. An unofficial statement of the vote held by the local bowlers showed 7 per cent of the players-declaring against the ueo VI suytuum UUI LK3Jcvuy unisuCvU. balU "" The ballots are belnay sronst over thor oughly by the officials since the first count In-order to throw "out any possible repeaters, but It Is not expected that the tally will differ much front 1he first check.

A dispatch says that baseball Is the most popular sport so far introduced by the Americans Into the Philippine Islands, although sports of all sorts are encouraged. "Baseball has practically been adopted as the national game of the Islands," reports the Bureau of Edu-' cation. Pitcher Jeff Overall, of the Chicago Cubs, who retired a year ago.

The carbonaceous foods, a division of the organic foods. Include all those foods which consist of hdrogen. oxygen and the principle element, carbon. These are the fuel foods. In the car bonaceous group we have the sugars and starches which are balled carbohydrates. Tho most Important carbonaceous food we use Is starch. Most of our starch comes from pota toes, and the cereals such as corn and wheat. Cornstarch, tapioca, sago and arrowroot are almost entirely pure starch. The carbonaceous group Includes also tho roots and tubers, tho most lm portant of which are white potatoes.JjJfe. for It the body does not receive It. sweet potatoes, onions, beets, turnips, carrots and parsnips.

There Is a saying among shooters to this eftect 'Beware of the man with one. gun meaning that the man .who leams cne gun right Is apt to become formid ably expert In Its use "In general It will be found that much better work can be done by the beginner with a high-grade single-shot ,22-callber target pistol than with a heavy caliber revolver. Of course, the revolver Is much more practical weapon, but best training for the beginner, at any rate, may be had from the use of the pistol. For ammunition no lees important than the weapon I would recommend cart ridges other than the smokeless, un greased bullet variety, as cone of the ammunition companies seem to make these so that they are any good. They are sure to lead and corrode the barrel in spite of the most careful cleaning. "When the novice has progressed so that he can make fairly consistent, scores with the pistol.

A. gymnasium records in addition to be ing last season's champion Thompson Is regarded as the best all-around athlete In the Y. 3t C A. gymnasium. His specialty Is fence, vaulting. In which b established the record last season of S feet 10 Inches. In the same series of contests, a year ago. Thompson hung up another' high mark that no one has aim n touched, when he prjt up the 12-pound shot "St times. The season before be did the It-foot rop climb in 73-5 seconds. which is another record. Had Thomp son entered the first series of gym con tests this season, he undoubtedly would have brought home the bacon. Another record which Is to be estab lished in the coming series of contests Is the shot-put. The present gym re-ord of 4J fet 4 Inches, established by Thomas .
