They seem to have a compel ling instinct which prompts them to utilize the body when swinging the club and in their effort to do so they either lurch forward or are inclined to jump on their feet; and although there may be days when this class of player can play a game almost the equal of the greatest ia the land, still there are just exceptional days when they are timing their lnrcb, or their Jump, to a nicety. The most reliable of all the players who have taken to the game comparatively late in lit are those who keep the action of the body well in control and stand comparatively firm on their feet. The present generation of golfers stands firmer on its feet than the last, partly for the reason that the present day rubber-cored ball does not call for an excessive body action it requires a sharp, cn.-p blow, whilst the old gut ta bail needed more persuading along than actual bitting; but the introduc tion of the American ball has been the cause of quite a goodly number of mi nor changes and alterations in the character of the golflng swing. PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) Hugo Bezdek, famous football coach and manager of the Pittsburg baseball club, may have to retire from all athletic work for good. Athletic activity in youth doe not necessarily Imply longevity of life. It does not even Imply health In middle life. Bezdek realizes this now as he never realized it before. The Pirate boss is ill with "athletic heart." and during the past few weeks haa suf fered to such an extent it was neces sary to place himself under the care of a heart specialisL While there may be no cause for immediate alarm in hla condition, the fact remains that his heart has been weakened through athletics and over strain and only the greatest care will give him relief. Few men In this country led a more active athletic life than Hugo Bezdek. From the time he entered school he waa active in all branches of athletics Hs started in football, but also took part in nearly all major sports Until three years ago he waa as active as any athlete, for during the time he coached the University of Oregon foot ball team, he was credited with work ing aa hard and as fast as any young ster on the team. Bezdek always doubted the "athletic heart" theory. A month ago, however, the truth of ft was brought home to htm forcibly . His heart palpitated at times and seemed about to Jump out of his body. He became dizzy and later had difficulty in breathing.- His first consultation with a physician brought temporary relief, but in the past two weeks annoyance in the heart region became so severe he was forced to leave Philadelphia and return to Pitts burg for treatment. Physicians have never found a rem edy for "athletic heart." They declare it ta caused by sudden stopping of athletic activity when the heart mus cles, become somewhat atrophied, and do not function normally. Rest is the alleged cure, but even this does not insure against sudden stoppage of the heart beat. Bezdek realizes this and is shunning all excitement. H. W. Metxger. 8(1-88. 174.

Joseph G. Wllhoit, Wichita Western league out fielder, today ended his batting streak in which he set a new world's record by hitting; safely In 69 consecutive games The former record of 45 frames was mane by Jack Iseas, Oakland, CaL, in 1915. ... Wllhoit entered the game at the De Paul university, Chicago, but In 1916 Joined the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league.

The Giants sent him to Seattle, Pacific Coast league, but in May he refused to come to-lchlta on a trade for "Lefty Thomas. For a mpnth after coming to Wichita Wilholt hit only .200. Then, on June 14. he started . the batting streak . that placed him in possession of the world's record for consecutive hitting. In the 69 contests prior to August 20 he was at bat 299 times and secured 151 hits, a percentage of .505.' He' obtained five home runs, eight triples, 23 doubles and 115 singles. Several days ago It was announced that Wllhoit would go to the Boston Americans in the middle of September. When Joe Wilholt ended his consecu tive batting 'streak at Wichita yester day with a total of 69 consecutive games to his credit he established a record which will most likely stand for years. First Baseman Jack Ness, when with the Oaks in 1916, held the previous record, hitting In 45 consecutive con tests Ness' record started on May 31 of that season and was wound up on July 21. He went to bat 183 times, scored 36 runs, 81 singles. 14 two-base hits, two. three-base hits and seven home runs. .- Ness graduated to the Chicago White Sox the following .season, but did not make a go of it as a major-league ball player.

"Germany" Schaefer, come dian coach of various major league I baseball clubs, who died en route to a series- California fistic fans are enthusiastic over Bill Larue, the Oakland heav weight, -who gave Willie Meehan such a lacing in Oakland the other day. Meehan was touted to be the one ta administer the beating but the tables were turned. Larue, who weighed 175 pounds the last time he fought, entered the ring against Meehan tipping the beam at 203 pounds, which meant that he was in some condition. Larue first sprang Into prominence as an amateur by winning the heavyweight title in that class. He is a big husky battler and has a good knowledge of the ring game. Larue left Oakland for Los Angeles last Saturday with the intention of entering the. moving picture game and said before he left that the first "bird" that he wanted to tackle was Elmo Lincoln, the Tarzan of the screen, who broke into "valuable" space recently by challenging Jack Dempsey. Larue says he is going to make Lincoln stick to swinging his 10-foot papier maohe club and make him forget all about Dempsey if he ever gets him in the ring. Tommy Simpson, the Oakland pro moter, is trying to arrange a four- round' main event between Larue and Tom Cowler, the English heavyweight, in Oakland on September S. Cowler received his start in Portland and is remembered by many fans who used to haunt Jack King s training quarters. When last heard of Cowler was on his way to Mexico to fight Jack John son, but as yet nothing has come of the bout, i . ' BIG FISH v SUPPLY SOUGHT Grays Harbor Plans Fishermen's Paradise of West. .
