High-Sslaried Diamond Artists Real-
ize That They Must Keep in
Best of Condition.
Tbc life of the average baseball
player is as close *o the model a good
citizen should follow as can be. Ho
is generally married, and, except
Ken 1;" is traveling, spends his spare ,
time at home. On tho road he ia at
his hotel most of the time when he is
not. at the baseball park. Once or
twico a week, perhaps, he goes to
(heat* r, but generally he spends j
th<* evening in the lobby of his hotel
talking over baseball and other mat-
t* rs with members 01 his own team
and friends who drop in to see him.
Nine times out of ten he is in bed and |
asleep by 10:30 o'clock.
In the old days of baseball it used
to be quite the thing for the "far
player to spend his nights in drinking
with friends, basking in the geniality j
of popularity, and mixing in rowdy
carousals. Such actions are a thin?
of the past.
Nowadays the baseball pla\<r
frst of all a gentleman. No t« *m wil
put up with a man that drinks ex
cessively, save in rare cases. Now
and then there is a man who car.
j-pend his evenings in hitting the h?ch
spots and then play good baseball the
following day. Such rn«-n are few and
far between, however Most of ti ose
who try it di.-i ovor that their caret rs
a ball players in hig*lr;tgi*e company
are short-lived.
