EVENIffd- frEDGEB-FHIEADEEPTJTA. WEDNESDAY JAKTTJABY 12, 1916. n -lL )LBOY TITLE FEDS IN MAJORS LIKELY TO CHANGE ASPECT OP RACES ships In purdom are those that take In the heavyweight nnd the lightweight titles. And Just at present these two seem to be further nway (from tiny settlement It will soon be two years before any light weight championship was fought, where n the championship holder should be compelled to right or defend his title at least once every eight months. Welsh, being a very smart young business man, has no Intention of risking his title until forced Into a championship debate. And even then the forcing will have to be ab normally powerful. So far as tho heavyweight muss Is In volved, Mr. Wlllard has nhout as much to do Just now as the Berlin homo guard. He might challenge himself, but there seems to bo nothing else of nny moment around. Not that Jlr. Wlllard Is nny su perhuman, any unbcatablo project No proof has ever been offered that ho Is any wonder. But It takes less than three sevenths of a wonder to go against the next best of tho present heavyweight crop. It. O. F. So far na one knows now, both McLoughltn and Johnston will again come Kast for the lawn tennis champion ship. There Is very little likelihood that either wilt be absent. There Is one dltzy activity that peace In baseball will curb this season. We shall no more have Mr. B, Kauff leap ing lightly from ono league back to an other, frequently pausing between leaps hardly long enough to light a cigarette. OH Kinp Cole wa a merry ould sowl And ttierr.Jj toell Tie fared; But he never had hi contract end At the time peace was declared. And he never held out for more kate To live fui a chlte in clover, To find out he teas up for tale, And the cruel icar was over. "What Is nn amateur?" Is still one of the raging queries of the hour. But, In splto of all tho recent discussion, we haven't changed the answer we evolved four years ago, viz., "Any one who can get nwny with It" The greatest goat-getter In the realm of play is confidence that hits a snag. For tho entry who Is sure of winning can tumble faster than a steel girder dropped from a skyscraper, If he suddenly bumps Into the conclusion that perhaps he might get licked, nfter nil. ACI0S AID TO LONGEVITY, SAYS STUDEBAKER HEAD Driving Espcclnlly Beneficial, Accord ing to A. R. Erskino Biding In automobiles helps a man lo live longer and lessens the nervous strain Is the opinion of A. II. Ersklne, president of the Studebakor Corporation. "There Is no gainsaying that the pos session of a motorcar Increases the num ber of years a man lives, especially t. In Addition to owning tho tar, the owrer drives It himself. For in that way he gets the fullest possible benefits In the way of health," said Mr. Krsklne. "After the novice gets his bearings, so to speak, the net of driving becomes au tomatic In Increasing measure. He does not try to climb up on his steering wheel, but sits back In relaxed fashion, I know that from practice I nm able to drive my Studebaker car at a good clip without concentrating upon tho act of driving. "The motorcar has accomplished almost Invaluable resutts In doing away with a certain species of person known ns the tired business man. "Figures prepared by the Government Census Bureau coriarwTf (Mtr in strik ing fashion the ietraMt' In or asxtK rate since the automobile ctuws htte) be ing, and though we cannot give. ll the credit to the use of motorcars, stilt w. must hot Ignore the fact that motorcars have played their part In helping tie t live longer. "Let us took at these figures carrfally. In 189) the death rate per 109) was N.I. In 1900 the rale had gone down to M.V and In IMS, with the further Increase In the use of autdmoblles, the death rat had been reduced to 1S.7. Since 1906 It has wandered still further down the scale, reaching a low-water mark of 13.9 per 1000 In 1312." fAl STAKE WHEN SWIMMERS MEET By GRANTLAND RICE Who too It rn!l.i or Peace t Who tons fAe titnslcd Tcrvt Who ten It callerl for a turctane Of batllct, red nnet ooryl Who was It tnlted a tonll And put salt in the honey t Who teas U cut into our kale And craboerf the easy moncyt dope Is concerned, 1916 wilt be the record maker. This uncertainty Is due to the scattering of Fed stars among the Na tional and American League tribes. There are no vast quantities of these athletes to be distributed, but there are enough to change the leading aspects of several clubs.
