)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."

scattering of Fed stars among the Na

are no vast quantities of these athletes to

change the leading aspects of several

In baseball the addition of one or two
flrst-class players will frequently change
a second division club Into a pennant
contender or a pennant winner. There
