CHAMPION WRESTLER DENIES HE IS DYING

FRANK GOTCH, WHO INSISTS HE IS NOT DEAD.

The reporter who daily calls up the hospitals and morgues the other day phoned the German hospital to learn if Frank Gotch, the champion wrestler, was still to be counted in the census. He had been reported as seriously ill. “I’d like to inquire about Mr. Gotch’s health,” he confided to the operator at the hospital. “Just a minute, please,” she answered, as she connected the scribe with the alleged dying man’s room. “Is Mr. Gotch’s condition very serious?” asked the reporter.

RUBBER IN GOLF BALL

Did you ever study a golf ball? Almost one mile of thread rubber is necessary in the making of the globule. The rubber which reaches the factory in the crude state is cooked, then rolled into sheets and finally cut into threads. The thread then is placed on a huge bobbin and automatic njachines wind 1,536 yards of it onto the little core which forms the golf ball. The next process in the making of the object which causes so much worry is the applying, of the gutta percha cover. This reaches the factory in raw state. It is treated so that the resin is completely extracted. Then it Is masticated and washed. fJext it is put into a roller which squeezes out the moisture. A machine then cuts the sheets into sizes for the covers and an automatic device clamps the covers on the rubber core. A brambing machine is the next to receive the golf ball. This creates those funny little holes or bumps.

OUTFIELDER IN TRICK PLAY

Amos Strunk of Philadelphia Athletics Makes Putout at First—Two Other Instances. Something out of the ordinary Is for an outfielder to make the putout on a player who is caught off first by a pitcher. Amos Strunk, Athletic center fielder, was the hero of a stunt of this kind in a game played in Washington on June 20. The victim was Charley Jamieson, whom Grlf tried to remake into a pitcher this season and who now has gone back to outfielding. “Rube” Schauer detected Jamieson taking too long a lead off first in the eighth inning and his throw to McInnis started' a run-down play that was completed when Strunk, who help-

ed in it, tagged Jamieson on the line and the back. A trick American league outfitelders apparently have forgotten is to sneak in from center and help trap a man off-Second. Two guardians of the middle mesa have accomplished such a feat—j Tris Speaker, when he was playing with the Red Sox against the Indians, and Jesse Clyde Milan of the Nationals, against the Red Sox. They received throws from the backstops and plastered said throws on the rtbs of "Doc” Johnston and Larry Gardner. Speaker tricked Johnston on June 7,1913; Milan hoodwinked Gardner on July 7, 1915.

“Rats, no,” answered a man with a husky voice. “And, furthermore, if they don’t let me out of here soon, I’m going to pull a Douglas Fairbanks and escape.” [ “Who is this talking?” “Gotch himself, Frank Gotch; I’m not sick at all.” > , - “Well, they report you as dying with kidney trouble.” “Zatso? Well, I have got a kink in my back from loading logs back in lowa. That’s all. And I’m not letting a few bantamweight logs down me.”

KEEP YOUR TEMPER W GAME

Football Is Not Dangerous Game to Young Man Who Is in Shape to Withstand Knocks. “Above all, tempers should be kept under control," says Walter Camp, the famous football trainer and critic, in an article in American Boy. “Football is a clean sport for clean players. If bad temper results in a foul, the entire team suffers. Hold-your temper and play the game.” Mr. Camp declares that football is not a dangerous game to the boy or young man who is-in proper shape to withstand its hard knocks. “Of course there is some element of risk,” he says, “but that holds true of every vigorous sport. Players are hurt at baseball and basketball as well as at football. The boy who has been sitting around all summer taking things easy and

getting soft is in no shape to play the game. Under no circumstances should he be allowed to take part in scrimmages until he has been hardened. When Injuries do occur, the soft, untrained player is usually the victim. Well-conditioned boys, all things considered, have little to fear.”

NEGLECT OF STOMACH

Many Candidates for Crews Are Rejected orrThis Account ~ Hundreds of Otherwise Promising. Looking Men Thrown Out Because of Weakness In This Respect, Says Coach Rice. * - “From my long experience in handling men I have come to the conclusion that the weakest part of the average man’s anatomy is the muscles of his abdomen,” says Jim Rice, the rowing coach. . “Hundreds of otherwise promisinglooking men I have had to throw out of the crew because of their weakness In this respect. I suppose most men have neglected this part of their bodies because it doesn’t show. 1 “A man likes to have a good leg, a Ine pair of biceps and a broad chest, •but he doesn’t worry much about the muscles of his tummy.

or layers of muscles across the abdomen is to lie flat on the back on the floor and raise the legs to an upright position. If the effort be found too much at first raise one leg at a time, when strength has been developed brace the feet under something and practice raising the body instead of the feet. “After some weeks of this try sitting on a pillow or hassock some six Inches from the floor and practice raising the body to an upright position, using the legs as leverage. When you can do this 50 times without getting tired you will know that there is nothing much wrong with your stomach muscles.”

TALK OF SPLIT IS ALL BUNK

So Says Owner of Joplin, Discussing Rumor of American Association Split. Owner John Savage of the Joplin Western league club is quoted as saying that the talk of a split in the American .association that would permit the cities of the western end of the circuit to merge with the best cities of the Western league is all bunk. He says they are always talking of something or other in the association and never getting anywhere with it.

Davy's Philosophy.

Old Davy Skinner, a fisherman on the Cape was noted for unfailing self-poise and economy of words. No one ever knew Old Davy to become in the least excited, nor did he ever waste a word. One summer day he was rowing along in his boat, when a dory containing five or six young summer people was captized near him. Naturally there were screams and wild confusion, In the midst of which Davy rotfed over to the scene of the disaster and said placidly to the young people who were clinging to the boat, screaming for help: “Hadn’t you better git in?”

“ Who Will Win .- This Battle?” Much of your comfort depends upon knowing that your system will perform its functions properly. Your kidneys are the filters of the body. If they become inactive and fail to eliminate the waste matter, they are apt to throw the wfioie mechanism of the body out of order, thus toxic poisons can accumulate in the system and be as deadly as snake venom. Besides causing the minor ailments of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and backaches, neglect of the kidneys is apt to develop into more serious diseases, such as diabetes or stone in the bladder. Rid the body of toxic poisons—clean the bladder and kidneys and cure the twinges of rheumatism with Anurlp, and you win the battle of life. - Anuric was first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and has benefited thousands of sufferers as well as appeased and eliminated the ravages of the more, serious kidney diseases. Now procurable at drug stores for 60c, or send Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.. 10 cents for trial package.
