TRAINING IN ANCIENT TIMES
Athletes Were Put Through Severe
"Dose of Sprouts” and Trainer*
Led Very Careful Life.
Some interesting comparisons may
be drawn between ancient and modern
athletes. The athletes of ancient
Greece, for example, if the;, should ap
pear to view- today, would no; be taken
for a football team.
The old-time man of muscle wore his
hair cropped, a distinguishing feature
in a land of long hair. Trainers for
the games led a very careful life. They
were under orders for a rigid diet,
which became especial!;, severe just
before the contest.
Their bill of fare consisted of fresh
cheese, dried figs and wheaten por
ridge. A little later in the era meat
was allowed, with a preference for
beef and pork. Bread was not allowed
with meat and sweets not at all.
At one time a strange custom of
diet came into vogue Every day at
the conclusion of practise the athletes
were obliged to consume enormous
quantities of food, which was digested
in a iong-coutinued sleep. The amount
was gradually increased until huge
meals of meat were taken. This diet
produced a corpulence which was of
advantage ;n wrestling, but injurious
for other sports.
Game in Record Time.
In the concluding game of the South
ern league season, pla- ed at Atlanta.
Mobile defeated Atlanta in nine full
innings, playing the game in 32 min
utes. This is believed to be the record
for fast games.
tvERS’ CAREER WAS CHANCE
Got Started When Regular Shortstop
4f Troy Team Failed to Report
for Duty In Spring.

(Copyright. 1910. by Joseph R. Bowie* t
If the short stop of the Troy (N V »
team had reported for duty at the
opening of one season the chances are
l never would have been a profes
sional ball player. I might have made
a fair collar finisher, or sign painter.
As a boy in vacations I worked in a
collar factory and also learned to let

but possibly I would have been bettei
if I had not liked to play ball so well
I played noons and evenings from tht
time I was ten years old. and nevei
lost a chance. The first success I had
was when I was made captain ant!
pitcher of the Sheer Fps.
I never had any idea of playing ball
professionally, because I did not like
the idea of leaving home, and my fam
ily did not like it a bit better. Still
I had quite a local reputation in Troy
in spite of which I never thought 1
was good enough to play on a real pro
fessional team. In summer I watched
the state league teams play and used
to say to myself: "I could do better
than that myself.” but of course I did
not dare to say that out loud.
The spring I was eighteen years old

days before the season opened I took
a half holiday from the collar factory
and went to see an exhibition game

the manager climbed into the stand

frightened. 1 must have looked fair,
for the next day he put me at short.

When that shortstop finally came on

and picked up the game rapidly. In

POPULAR GERMAN ORDER
Of all the orders bestowed on j
women of nobility, none is more'
coveted than the Order of Louise. The
only women in England who are
privileged to wear this distinctive em
blem are Queen Mary and the Duchess
of Argyll- Three years ago the honor
was conferred on them by Kaiser Wil
helm of Germany. The Order of
Louise, which ranks as the most high
ly prised decoration that any gentle
woman can receive, was founded In
1S14 in memory of the beautiful Queen
Louise, mother of Emperor William
L. and greatgrandmother of the pres
ent kaiser. Her courage and self-sac
rifice in the face of the heartless
treatment she received from Napoleon
and her early death, hastened by her
heart-breaking experiences in the
time of her country's trouble, have
earned for her the highest esteem of
her countrywomen and explains the ;
reason why the order named In her
memory is so widely craved.
