BIG drive is on for the phys-| feal education of Young America, Last week's mee! ing of the Intercollegiate Association wtarted it, and never was a move- ment more timely. Experts on phys- foal training from ali over the coun- try gathered and exchanged views. Fesult was a national campaign, @omparing favorably with any legis. Mative movement in recent history, | ‘was launched ’ Getting down to “brass tacks,” it amounted this: Shall physical) training become « part of the educa-| tion of our boys and girls? Shalt they | ideas, They may prefer to have their gone and daughters educated physic- ally after they have mastered their book tearning. It is with the idea of Winding just how the public feels about “the eituation that the Evening World ‘4s starting u discussion on the sub. ject, We invite expremions of everybody's views THOMAS A. STOREY of the College of the City of New York, State inspector of Physical ‘Training, discussed the matter with Ws yesterday at his home No. 84 West ‘Wlst Btreet. The doctor is most en- thusiastic about the welfare of our futwre generations. He thinks af our boys, and our girls too for that matter, should be athletically one undred per cent. when they conclude ‘the school days or before they take up the more serious problems of life. ‘Dr. Gtorey, by the way, is on a leavo of absence from the local college and with the United Board. said that as far as New York is concerned nothing further is desired for the physical education of boys ‘and girls. He surprised us with the dnformation that there is a law on t statute books at Albany, and has been there for two years, providing for physical education of children of both sexes in elementary, secondary and private schools, for which the State has made ample provision. A similar law is in effect in New Jersey California, but, as the doctor re- marked, it is one thing to have a law and another to operate it. The doctor feels very much gratified that at least five organizations through the coun- try have adopted resolutions which he framed, the substance of which is as follow! 1 That in the opinion of the Na- tonal Collegiate Athletic Assool: tion physical training and ath- letics aro an essential part of education; and that in every col- Jege or university the department of physica! training and athletics should be recognized as a depart- ment of collegiate instruction di- rectly responsible to the college oF university administration, 2 That each college faculty should make adequate provision im the hour schedule for physical training and athletics. & That seasonal coaches, scout- ing, except at open intercollegi- ate contests, training tables and organized training or coaching in summer vacation are contrary to the spirit of amateur collége ath- Jetics; and that in furtherance of the foregoing it is the sense of this body that as soon as practi- cable seasonal coaches be replaced or themselves receive yearly ap- pointment> et physical education has Feached an {mportant stage in ur colleges is shown by the remarks made by W. }!. Kilpatrick at the Hotel Astor, The professor ts connected ‘with the Teachers’ College of Colum- bia University. Like Dr. Storey, Mr. EUpatrick is heart and soul in the subject. To him physical education is almost as necessary as good English. the things he told us were » these: HE work of physical education % should be considered one con- stituent part of the whole system of education. It especially concerns matters of health, such moral and @ocial virtues as fair play, sense of shonor, co-operation and sportsman- ship.

Foster instructs his men as to their conduct on and off the field, tells them that, because of their color, they must behave better, control their tempers and their language better than white teams, and they do it. I sat on the bench one day listening to Rube direct his men. His knowl- edge of the strategy of the game and of inside play was remarkable and his discipline severe. There was not an angry word or an oath uttered by any player during the game. HOSE men love baseball and the enthusiasm and rooting in the stands are something worth going to see. One day in Chicago I sat near a large, very black man who was rooting for the Giants. It was Sunday aft hoon. Evidently he was still imbue elther with the crap shooting of the preceding night or the “shouting” in church that morning. Asa batter ame to the plate with the bases filled he would close his eyes, rock to and fro, and croon gently and imploringly, his voice rising higher and higher un- Ul he was shouting as he begged that batter for a hit. T is the conduct and the good na- ture of the colored players and most with their professional teams. Their arguments with umpires even are tinged with good natured raillery rather than dislike and they show the officials more respect than the white players do. Once, when the old Chicago Cubs were champions, they played a post- season game against a colored team, and had their hands full, They could them “got after’ their who responded with good-natu ridicule of the champs. Tinker was trying a little “goat getting,” and the opponents, fellow, was laughin, thoughtlessly turne “nigger.” At that moment one of the negro players stepped up and said, very quietly: “Mister Tinker, that child that you call ‘nigger’ is my wife's baby. He said it with such feeling and earnestn: that Tinker, in a flash, was ashamed, and turning he the man’s hand and sai “’'m sorry I said that, Tinker tells the story himself, and adds that his respect for colored men ever before, OOR Buckner, good-natured, Jolly, was the butt of many a joke among the players. His brother, Bill Buckner, who was trainer of Major Tailor, the bicycle champion, who hetped train Fitzsimmons, Je(- fries and other fighters and who was or years trainer of the Chicago White Sox, had a host of yarns about Buak. He told of a tailor who offered a suit of clothes for a home run. Buck hit the home run and got the suit. Ihe day the sult was delivered he donned it and the team went to Milwaukee. ‘The suit was black and white In checkerboards an inch square, and calculated to dazzle the dusky dom-~- sels, 50, in the parade Buck insisted on riding with the driver on the seat of the carriage. On the way to the park they were caught in a sudden shower and Buck was drenched to the skin, He sat in the club house drying his new clothes while the other players put on their uniforms and went to the field. At game time Buck was missing. A hasty searc was made and he was discovered nl- most dead in his logker. The suit had shrunk so rapidly" it was choking him to death and they had to cut it off him to save is life, HPRE were negro players in the dig leagues years ago, but the line was drawn, Darnell, a great catcher, worked in the big leagues in the olden days. Toledo once had a colored man who was declared by many to be the greatest catcher of the time and greater even than his contemporary, Buck Ewing. Tony Mullane, than whom no pitcher ever had more speed, was pitching for Toledo, and he did not like to be the battery part- ner of @ negro, “I had it in for him,” Tony admit- ted years later. “He was the best catcher I ever worked with, but I dis- liked a negro and whenever I hdd to pitch to him I used to pitcb anything T wanted without looking at his sig- nals. One day he signalled me for a curve and I shot a fast ball at him, He caught it and walked down to me “Mr, Mullane, he sald, ‘I'll catch you without signals, but I won't catch you if you are going to cross me when I give you a signal,’ ‘And all the rest of that season he me and caught anything I Without knowing what was ca pil j their sclf-restraint that impressed me | mascot of the team, a black little; the army by Feb, 1. grasped, | has been greater since that time than 2s Golf Professionals Now Earn Incomes That Would Match Bank Presidents’ Salaries, ‘By William Abbott. EACHING golf nowadays fs @ very nourishing job. The game has developed to the stage where professionals are able to pull down from $2,500 to nearly $10,000. And the life of a golf pro is nkin to that of the well-known Mr, Riley, whose fame as a proéurer of soft snaps reached all over. The up-to-date golf professional couples himseif to a club in the North for the outdoor season extending from early in May to some time in November, the exact closing date de- pending on the weather. Then he has his choice, remain idie through the winter, instruct in one of the many Indoor golf schools or hike down to the land of cotton where he can se- cure a position for the winter season or else compete in professional tour- naments from which considerable easy money may be picked up. Most clubs give their professional @ salary, many reward their tJ structor with an annual income, and hot just for the time he is on the grounds; he is given lodging quarters and his biggest rake-off comes from the repair of clubs and the sale of paraphernalia for the game. This item of revenue has grown so the last few years that quite a number of smaller clubs have become very much interested in the matter with a view of taking over this privilege for the club. Some of the leading professionals like George Low, Alex Smith, Wille Norton, Walter Hagan, Jock Hutohi- son, Bob McDonald, James Maiden and Jim Barnes have all amassed bankrolls that could easily match many of thd Wall Street variety, The earning ability now of golf pros is a marked difference from con- ditions that greeted the old Scitch professionals when they came over Qbout twenty-five years ago, It was tough sledding in those days, few golf players,and hardly any clubs. The game started to boom about ten years ago.
