with Mod Turtles Against $100
Brave Will Cop.
JIKK FOLLOWED RED JJUItRAY
HV FRA1K O. MKIVKE,
NfcW YORK. June a The ur mad
jn Boston recently by William N. Jarvts
m1 Fred Woodland ranka aa one of the
Freakiest ever mad alnrc gambling be-
tnw a aln.
Jarvla In a Itrava rooter. Woodland
iiesn't think very much of .?ie Braves.
An argument riwwil and thla bet waa
-nad:
If the Brave win the ISt National
fmni pennant Woodland will pay 8100 to
larvls. But should th Brave lose. Jar
vln will have to do thla:
- Walk from Hoi-ton to Philadelphia, and
back. accompanied hy Iucy Lee. a pet
mud turtle, l.ury rmwt walk two-fifths
of tha way. The other three-fifth of
the way Jarvla must carry Lucy on hia
bsck,
A very swift mud ttirtla edffid cover
two mile a day. Owing to tha fact that
Lucy must amble two mile out of every
five, and la not ranked aa a speeding
mud turtle. It took aa tf Jarrl and hia
turtle, will averaira about ona and a half
mile per day.
Tha distance from Boston to Philadel
phia and back, a la hoof, ia clone to 700
miles. Covering an averaira of even two
tnllea a day, K would taka Jarvla and
mud turtle companion Just about ona
year to make the roimd trip.
Assuming that Jam Is gets about MO a
week when regularly employed. It would
mean that he will lose about fifty wenks'
rv or gj,104f ha make tha walk. In
addition to toeing weight and patience
and his equilibrium.
Two thousand to one hundred dollar
that tha Braves will win the pennant
Gosh,' it-hat a lot of confidence Jarvla
must have In that Stalling outfit.
Another Prenk Be.
Hav you heard aboui that f Inn I eh
for stake of Jipi.000 that Is to be played
on the Philadelphia es. View golf link
within tha nest three months? Its to be
between Clarence H. deist, millionaire,
end Ir. Ed nard Martin.
deist wm. Dr. . Idai-Un". patient. Pury
Ins the course of on of Dr. Martin's
Visits. Oelst opened up tha subject of
golf by remarking that he didn't wsnl
to do any brnrsin about his gnlflng
skin, but he was sura that Jerry Travels
didn't have much on him.
"Whatddaya. know about thatT" re
marked Dr. Martin. "Tou might b. quit
a tilfty little golfer. But I am sure you
aren't quit aa rood as I am."
-Ain't. hey?" broke In . Of 1st "Well,
!emne tell you thl. Doc: I can beat you
ary day In the week "
"Tou' re elected aa an opponent, " out In
the medical party. And then tha srekec
were arranged.
If Oelst loses In an elghteon-batl match
)i Is, to donate ti 00,000 to 'establish a
ehalr W surgery la the University of
Pennsylvania. Phnutd the doctor lose he
must pay $1,000 for a Ufa membership In
the Sea View XJolf club and submit to
taking a few" golfing lesson from Oelst
Jles fellows M array.
A jinx seams to pursue Jack ("Red")
, Murray of ih Giant, preventing him
fiora basking in the spotlight reserved
for heroes, even though Murray doe
herole thing.
A dosen Urns thla season Hrra ha
Performed th spectacular don mre
thSng that should merit his nam being
biased through tb next day's account of
the battle. But something alwaTf hap
pened later on that distracted th atten
tion from " Murray deeds.
A short ttm ago th sixth Inning ar
rived with tha Giants on th short end
of a 1 to soor. Two Giant rnnr
got on th bases, and then Murray belted
out-sr noma run, putting tha Giant In
the lead. Did. Murray's feat featu? in
the, pint morning story ol the battle?
Nope, simply because In the very nent
Inning the Cardinal overshadowed Mm
by making seven runs.
During one of the "scries Hayed with
th western clubs In New Tork Murray
made a magnificent throw to the plate,
killing Off a runner. It saved the asm.
for the Giants for the moment. But Just j
when the writing persons were figuring
on how to lead their story with Murray's
accomplishment tho( opposition got to the
Giant pitchers, knocked a couple out of
the box and did so much hitting that
Murray's stunt was forgotten.
A few days before that Murray doubled
with two on bases, putting the Uhtnt
temporarily In th lead. But th oppo
sition got busy shortly afterward, ral
lied and beat the Giants- thus, forcing
th scribbling persons to overlook Mur
ray's tlm.-Iy two-bagger and dwell on
mora Important things. "
Why Not Have Clean, .Healthy Sports for Children?
T5
Gibbons Easily the
Middleweight King,
Belief in New York
NEW TORK. Juna . If ever there was
the slightest doubt parading the pugilist!: '
high road regarding t:-.e staffs of "Jflka" '
3lbbon of St. Paul since he ram Into
the open and declared himself i middle
weight It has had the-aklds put under It
and hn slid out of existence. There la
no good res sen why the crown, vacant
sine the untimely death of Stanley
Xetchell, should not be trilpped upon tha
pempadoured brow of Gibbon.
Gibbons has proved beyond question
that he Is tha class of th middle weights.
A glance through the list of contender
discloses none thnt has a chance with
the "Minnesota Zephyr" over th abort
route at any rate. It Is true that Gibbon
has never ventured Into the unknown and I
risky twenty-round business. He has
contented himself with raking In tha
golden shekels while giving ten-round
lessons, but Is there any who will declare,
and believe what be says, that Gibbon
cannot ramble through twenty rounds
and hold his own? i
Certainly circumstantial evidence Is all
In favor of Gibbons being able to turn
the trick without losing any of tha
prowess that has made one, of tha moat
popular boxers tn tha game today.
(Banc through th layout of middle
weight who are conceded to have a
chanc: "Toung" Ahearn, "Mick" King
of Australia, lo Hours, "Eddie" Mo
Ooorty, "Jimmy" Clabby. OeorgeChlp,
"Dav" Smith of Australia, Jack Dillon,
Frank Klaus and "Jeff" Smith. Corn
par these men! Individually wlths"Mlk"
Gibbon and what's th answer? Of th
outfit there are but two who are within
everal kilometer of being as clever at
QlhboE Ahearn and Clabby. Of the
better Chance of outpointing Gibbons U
luch a chanc existed,
two Ahearn would probably hav th

5Io w to meet th aelf-ctivtty and play 1
spa-It of th little children In th schools
H one of tha hardest problems teachers
have had to solve. All sorts of thoorias
sod methods hav bea tried, but all
rolled for so much supervision of the
child's play by grownup that tha child
lost Interest or th financial TourdHn.was
too heavy for tha nieagar results tho new
systems cost j
, A solution now- aoemi -to har been
reached. Recently, on th . Upper West
S'rie of ' New Tork thef has grown up an
outdoor gymnablum where UtUo tots 'can
turned loose 1 the sunahln to play.
Tha gymnasium Is perfectly equipped,
traveling rings, vaulting buck, horlsontal
bars and swings of every desortpUon af
ford, tha greatest pleasure to th school -tired
children, and by th system em
ployed it Is necessary to' have only one
"gym-master" to care for th Infants and
supervise their us of th apparatus. '
Teachers ars dally realising that amuse
ment and excitement are the Ufa of th
child. II requires them aa a plant Med
atari They are th essence of bis ex
istence. Bo th success of the o-iMoor
gymnaatun doe not depend upon the
number and variety of the game played,
though they constitute an Important fac
tor, 'but' th ' real benefit, ' ar'' witnessed
In' the attitude of th children toward
their.' lessons at th . end . of the J play
session. ' .
' It is a novel .sight to match tha agility
with which th youngsters many of them
only 4 year old handle tb ropes and
the traveling rings. They ar the 'lvlng
exponents of tha old Greek philosopher's
maxim that "yesterday la dead; tomorrow
unborn; today 1 live." Their peal of
happy - laughter stir th summer air a
they awing back and forth In th swings,
climb high ladder to reach th rings
and poise delighted at their prowess.
Th picture on th left shows several
tots of the outdoor '"gym" exercising on
a ladder, improvised, from a part of a
fire escape, wbil (on right) anotber of
the tots is shown . going . through a vig
orous stunt on a swinging rope. Their
pleased expressions' show that they enjoy

has lost newspaper .decisions to .fully . a

and hli Injured hand will not help liim
much when he tackles a hard-hitting foe.

Jimmy Clabby and George Chip are not

at tha rink, t Both were suspended from
appearing In a local ring fur thirty days
for their rank exhibition, but the lefts
would not express regret If the sentences
were extended to thirty year. , Ko that
eliminates two supposed contenders , for
th middleweight title, and diminishes th
list of Gibbons prospective, vk-tun by
two. . Al McCoy Is not even being, con
Idered as an opponent for Gibbons. No
wonder, after the way McCoy has bean
pantomiming In all his bouts of late.

MAKY SDTFEE BBOXEIf frOSES
' NEW 'TORK, . rm l-Withln a short
tifne : Preeldent , Johv? -A Tener will pre
sent a rule to the Na tonal league for
approval, which i w Ul ; fietermlna ' under
Just what conditions' V player may be
placed on th hospital ' list so that he
will . nbt ' count- In ' th . twenty-one player
limit which was adopted' for this season.
Th. large number, of. Injuries which ar
occurring make a ruling necessary. Th
endeavor will,' however, be to hold a
near, as -possible- to .the spirit of the
tweuty-one player limit, and-the rule
Which Will be presented will be so worded
that it will be Impossible to substitute
for a player who has received an Injury
of minor consequence. To accomplish this
a clause will be Inserted specifying a defi
nite' period that a player onoe on the list
shall hav to -stay out of the game, re
gardless of the. possibility of a rapid
recovery.' The period will ' probably be
at least a -month and possibly longer.
Such a rul villi make a club hesitate
about asking 'that one-.of tha regulars
be placed on the hospital list unless th
injury really. Is of a character to in
capacitate hm for a considerable time.
Under th old twenty-flv player limit,
th method of procedure wis for th
rub to present tb request to th league
president, and he in turn referred It to
the national commission. The new rule
which ' Is being promulgated, however,
will differ la that the final reference
shall -be to President Tener.
Broken noses seem to lie playing a big
part In the has ball injuries this season.
Thus ftrr there hsve been five or six.
among. the injured players 'being Birdie
Cree. Poll Perrltt. and last of U. with
th worst smash, th unfortunate Fret
Merkl. lie was Just recovering from a,
dislocated elbow- when he went Into th
game against Perth Arnboy, and as a
result of the broken nose wtilch he re
ceived then he. w'l eot of the Kami
for som time. Th Ircsk is said to be
much worse thaa thai which Perrltt suf
fered a short time ago. -
