The Greatest Gymnast

Admirers of Lily Leitzel say she is
the greatest woman gymnast in the
world. Miss Leitzel, who is not yet
20 years old, said recently: "Exercise
for women seems to have been lost
sight of to a great extent. All cannot
be great athletes and probably many
would not care to be. But many an
ache and many an ill could be avoided
through consistent and constant ex
ercise. 1 never tear ills and haven t
had so much as a cold in years. Let
my , sisters ,who complain of poor
health exercise consistently and they
will be well in both mind and body
always."
Miss -Leitzel is a native of Frasrue.
Bohemia, and comes from a family of
performers. She is but one of three

with Ringling Bros', circus, Wednes

his statement' the order would not be
decided until a case had arisen. He
made it plain that the War Depart
ment is interestprl snUlv in th

suggestion, that the series be
abandoned, saying that such action
woud . bring keen disappointment to
civilians and fightin-men alike.

officials of the National league that
some double headers should be in
troduced, in order to shorten the reg
ular season, both President Hemp

Heydler, secretary of the league, de
clared that care should be taken so
that "a joke should not be made out
of the race." ,
