Judgments
OMAHA left home in second place.
Up to date It has played fifteen
games abroad, winning- seven,
losing eight. Yet it is in second
place. The answer is that some
of the other first division - teams have
been losing. Here Is an Illustration of
what a have frequently tried to get our
friends to see more clearly than some
will one team's losing or one team's
winning does not decide pennant races.
So, when the home team is losing, be
charitable enough to remember that los
ing Is a part of the game and when the
home team Is winning remember that It
cannot winvalways. Omaha, we think,
should have more than seven of these
fifteen games to Its credit; It should not
have dropped those four to Sioux City,
but since leaving Iowa it has done well.
It split even in Denver and Wichita,
took Both games the weather man
permitted it to play at Lincoln and the
first of the series at Topeka. Now we
come home this week for twelve games,
four each with Des Moines, Sioux City
and St. Joseph. If we win eight of them
we shall do very well. But this team
Rourke has is up there to stay, that Is,
it is golneg to be in on the finish with
the best. It is playing individual and
team ball. It is now leading in team
fielding, ranks second in bases stolen
and second in sacrifice hitting. Niehoff
Is stilt the league leader on the bases,
having stolen twenty-two. Kelly of St
Joseph has him temporarily tied. Thom
ason is Omaha's next base thief, with
sixteen to his credit up to date, and
Thommy is also leading for us at bat,
with Coyle and Kane close behind. But
the team has plenty of batting, John
son, with his terrific onslaughts,- adding
to its strength in this department.
Manager Chance plainly charged Pres
ident Lynch, of the National league with
favoring the Giants, by putting Tinker
and Zimmerman of the Cubs out of the
play for three days while Chicago was
in New'York. Chance insisted that he and
not the active player should have been
expelled. This ia not the first time
other team managers have had occasion,
to make this complaint against Lynch,
whose sympathies naturally ' are with
New York. It is' a great pity there is
any ground for making such charges. It
is beneath a league president to bo
guilty of such tactics, 'ihe Giants seem
to need very little help from outside
sources and as Chance told Lynch any
favoritism of this sort will not only
cinch the pennant for McGraw, but mur
der interest in the pennant race for this
year.
This is Interesting gossip about Tommy
Leach succeeding Frank Chance as Cub
boss. Chance's injury still bothers him
and he desires to quit the game. It ia
now said that Leach was procured from
Pittsburgh with this in view. But what
about Evers and Tinker, old men on the
team and heady ones. A few days may
and may not develop the answer. In
the meantime Artie Hofman is playing
steady ball for the Pirates, while Lefty
Leifield has delivered for the Cubs and
Cole and Leach are. benching it.
Rhodes still holds the hoodoo on To
peka. Our venerable correspondent down
there advises us that the goal of the
Kansas ambition is to see Topeka wallop
Dusty just once. Like the man who re
cently fell dead after living to see Wash
ington win ten straight-games, Kansans
might rest In tfvace if Da'.e Gear's bunch
could only pluck one little weazened game
from our Colossus of Rhodes.
Evidently old Fox Griffith is making
good in Washington. Up to this writing
the Senators have got away with fifteen
consecutive games. Incidentally, Walter
Johnson is showing what a peerless
pitcher can do with a real team behind
him. Few fans but who would dismiss
all their local prejudices to see. Wash
ington get a pennant.
Here-'s hoping Hugh F. Johns, the new
Lincoln magnate, will make good. Des
pain's illness was too serious a handi
cap for a man who lacked seasoned ex
perience In the game. Don did some tall
pulling at first, though, and had a good
team together, but It and the fans laid
down on him.
Denver is making a sorry sight. Its
pitchers seem to be wholly unreliable.
Friday the Grizzlies had St. Joseph 9 to
2 and yet lost. Oh, for an O'Brien and
a Hagorman, eh?
The St. Louis Browns are making a
worse, out of It than ever. It really ap
pears that what Is needed Is for Mr.
Hedges to sell out and let a base ball
man take that team.
Nebraska may well be proud of its
representative who Is to contest In the
Olympic games.
Eastern colleges may well look to the
Nebraska high schools for athletic
material.
Hickory Johnson is rightly named. Two
and three hits a day is the least he will
have.
Come on Thommy and Kane, with chose
big sticks
HORINE REMARKABLE MAN
Leland Stanford Student Most
Talked of Man in America.
EVOLVES STYLE ALL HIS OWN
He Explains that Ueaon Why He
is Master in High Jump Is that
He Has More Effective
Strle.
NEW YORK, June 15.-In more ways
than one George Horlne, the young
Leland Stanford student who broke Mike
Sweeney's long standing world's record
for the high jump and became'the most
talked of athlete of the year, is a
very remarkable young man. With prac
tically no outside assistance he taught
himself to jump, evolved a style of
jumping all his own, used It and became
the greatest jumper of his time. Now
he declares he Is sure several eastern
athletes, among them Piatt Adams,
Grumpelt and Erikson, ought to be
greater jumpers than himself. He ex
plains this interesting belief with the
statement that their natural spring is
superior to his, and that the only reason
he is their master in the sport is his
more effective style.
"I wasi much Impressed with the per
formance of the -eastern high Jumpers,"
said Horine recently. "To begin with,
they all have great natural springs, but
I notice that nearly all go over the bar
with the head much higher than the
feet. My study of jumping has con
vinced me that the most effective way
to jump Is to go over the bar with the
feet higher than any part of the body.
I evolved this style through long ex
perimenting, and I think my success
has been due largely to following this
method.
"There are two essentials in the
makeup of a great jumper. One is the
spring and the other form or the ease
with which the bar is cleared. Adams,
Grumpelt and Erikson all have better
natural springs than myself, but I be
lieve my form more effective. If the
great spring and the most effective form
could be combined in one man we would
have a truly wonderful Jumper."
From this remarkable statement It is
seen mat Horine is not at all excited
over his world-famous performance In
smashing to bits a world record of sev
enteen years' standing and then soon
after beating his own mark. But the Cal
ifornian Is a serious-minded youngster,
very methodical and conservative In
going about the task of making himself
what will doubtless prove the greatest
high jumper the world has ever seen.
It is accordingly natural that he should
view all things connected with his chosen
sport dispassionately and with due re
gard for the real reason for his ability
as well as hi limitations.
Today at th height of his fame Horine
is just as f efully campaigning on the
human aeriplane altitude limit as ever,
for he is sure he has not yet done all
that more practice and study will make
him capable of. Where he will finally
leave the record he declines to predict,
for there is nothing boastful in his make
up. His conquest of height does not
seem actuated by any thirst for glory.
Horine rather looking upon it as some
thing that ought to be done by some
one, and finding himself equipped for the
task he assumes it.
Horine was born in San Diego, Cal.,
twenty-two years ago. Until he was nine
teen he never indulged in athletics seri
ously although he had done some pole
vaulting. Then on the eve of entering
Stanford he was suddenly filled with an
ambition to become a high Jumpers He
didn't know how proficient he could be
come, but he was attracted to the sport
by its graceful, spectacular qualities. He
liked to watch nther yoi.th J-.: nip and j
thought he would like to Jump himself.
As he entered college he began to prac
tice. Progress was very slow for a time
and then he decided he would get along
faster by studying style and deciding
on the most effective method. There were
no really good Jumpers about so he had
to depend on the experiences of himself
and his eollegemates. How well he pro
fited by his study, however, was appar
ent Kst year when he began to do better

GEORGE HORINE, THE WORLD'S GREATEST HIGH JUMPER, CON
SIDERED BY MANY THE MOST WONDERFUL MEMBER OF AMER
ICA'S CLEAN-UP OLYMPIC TEAM.
than 6 feet. In the first regular meet In
which he participated ho did 6 feet M
inch. The next time out he cleartd
feet 1 inches, a new college record. ;
fore the close of the season he had ac
complished-6 feet 4 Inches, equaling the
American college record held by Page
of Pennsylvania.
This year he started training January
1, but for three months participated In
nothing more Important than the college
games every Saturday. Then the last of
March, In the dual meet with Pomops,
he' ;id 6 feet 4i Inches. It was three
days after this that he set the new
world's record of 6 feet 6 inches. At
the Olympic tryouts he increased his
marls to 6 feet 7 Inches. These steps !n
his career show his steady Improvement
That all the while his jumping has been
consistently high is shown by the fact
that In thirty-five out of forty-five meets
he has cleared at least 6 feet.
Horine was asked to tell something
about his training system. It proved slm
pllclty Itsolf. The chief feature of U is
caro to avoid too much practice.
"When I start training," said the cham
pion, "I do a little exercise of all kinds
I run a little, hurdle a little, put the shot
a little, etc., and for three weeks I do
no high jumping whatever. Then I cut
everythlnK out but the high Jump and
begin making half a dozen low Jump
every evening. Then once a week I try
for height n competition. If I find any
thing Is wrong I get someone to watch
me and tell me what is the matter, if thev
can. They can tell better than I whether
thera Is anything wrong with the 'lift'
or th 'throw-up,' while I can watch mv
footprints to catch defects In the 'take
off and landing.
"I do the best 1 can to get perfect form
and then I forget style and look out for
my condition. That is, I believe, what
every jumper should do. Style should bi
as near perfect as possible before enter
ing competition at all. Another Im
portant thing is the necessity , of belna;
thoroughly warmed up before oompetlng,
and If one feels the cold the legs should
be kept covered with oil before starting.
"I am not a food faddist, but I am care
ful about what I eat. During training t
never eat pastry, but most anything els
that appeals to me. I think lamb chops
are the best meat. Veal Is bad.. Beef In
various forms Is good and so are scft
bolled eggs. I never smoke or drink and
am careful to get eight or nine hours'
sleep every nlght'L
