Young Athletes to Be Given Chance . • __ I,ead, ».

Between these are the "moequltos," 76 to 85 pounds, and the “flies.” 85 to 100 pounds. , "It seems to be a new departure In Black Hills athletics,” Mr. Cart wright said. "But it is more than Justified by the results. We give the boys a wholesome Interest at the formuiatlve adolescent age, and we are building for the future. If this system Is kept up for a few years, the high school will have some won derful material from which t6 select the 'varsity' squad.” Deadwood also has in pert, adopted th# system and the "insert weight" teams have played numerous curtain raiser games for high school and town teams contests. While the Black Hilts district high school championship Is being determined at the district tournament at Spearfish Normal.

Firpo, it is said, will train on planked steaks for both Wills and Dempsey. The report describe* flic Wild Bull bursting into the follow ing eestatirs at the toothsome spec tacle of a planked steak: "That Is what I have been wait ing for. I am going to (rain on that, and that only. That la Ihe way to get strength.” Firpo has all the strength he needs. Sfuscle for muscle, sinew for sinew, he was more powerful than Dempsey, But ring fighting la not decided ^n brute strength. b What Firpo needs is more skill In boxing and In hitting. He doesnt' need planked steaks. Firpo requires skill that will put the oilier fellow 's back on the ring planks and keep his own off them. .The planked steak "plank” ran mean only ring plank* for Senor Firpo'* spinal column. Speaking of Firpo remind* us of Ids newrliallonger, Qiilntin Romero* Rojas, tlie Chilian champion. A friend of min, who liaa spent some time in South America and who is in touch with things down there, tells me of a strange offer made by the supporters of Romero-Roja*. They recently proposed an Interest ing '’match" that Include^ Firpo and Rojas. It suggested that two sides of three men each be thrown Into a locked room and a free for ail started. Firpo on one Bide, Rojas on the other. Just how this wolud determine the fighting merit* of Firpo and Roja* la not clear to the writer. Either Firpo or Rojas might Via knocked out by another combatant. She Rojas element thought perhaps this little exclusive brawl might ap peal to I,ill*. It was also suggested to indicate that Rojas entertained no fear of Firpo. Firpo would Indeed be foolish to consider such a lirasli unbusinesslike scheme aa tills. Th* back room and “private fight” days of the ring are deader than thr ilmlo. Sera Piters are no longer satis fied with simple mementos of Hafir flnry—dianioml-stlidded bells and the silk color* of Ills foe. Wliat children the old war-horse* of the ring were! Prize-fighting Is a business. It be longs In the high finance stratum of commerce. The last time something of that sort was proposed dates back aomo id years, •rtdly enough the proposal came from Jim Jeffrie*. But Jeff, as you have learned, was not a keen business man. Jeffries, when champion, was hounded for a match by Jack John son. Jeff had drawn the “roloc line," had no wish to fight Johnson in Du ring. Hut Jeff's patience snapped under the constant fire of Johnson taunts. Humping Into Jack In a !.n* An geles cafe one day Jeff “called John son’s Wuff”—or thought he did. Jle dared Johnson to go down in the cel lar and have it out with "hare ’uits” —the first man to come up collecting a Mg side Net. Johnson had no ap petite for such a test. He declined for business reason*. At any rale, that was one of them. Cornhaskers Will End Valley Cage Season in Third Place Wednesday sehsons and the Jayhawkern, with \% nahlnston am!

DAVIS J. WAI.SH. K \V YORK, March 3. — That college athlete* will form the warp and woof, as always, of the American Olym pic team — tak ill£ tUlU ovwum i that some of them may ob ject to being called a woof — waa determined with even great er emphasis over the week end just concluded. I At the University of Illinois games fot example, I)e Hart Hubbard, of Michigan, cleared the astounding dis tance of 24 feet seven Inches, indoors, The lies Moines club of the \Ve*l and, barring the unforeseen, will win the Olympic broad jump as sure as was good for 25 feet in an outdoor pit. Almost equally commendable was (lie pole vaulting of Brownell, of Illinois, In doing 12 feet 10H Inches. At that Brownell will not lack for company. Three men.—Libby, of Dartmouth; Owens of Pennsylvania. | and .SclUopp, of 3ale—tied at 12 feet 6 inches at the indoor inter collegia tern in New York and three others were better than 12-3. No one perhaps, however, will take serious issue with Hoff, of Norway, who is credited with a world’s record of 13 feet, nine inches. The clubmen, of course, harbor most of the sprinting talent with Paddock. Murchison, McAllister and others lined up. but Chester Bowman, of Syracuse, turned in a very natty performance in sprinting 70 yards in 7 1-5 seconds at the indoor champion ships. So should Charley Moore, the Penn sylvania State hurdler. He won as he pleased at the 70-vard distance in 9 1-10, after an Indifferent start. Moore la the present world's record holder at 50 yards. Ralph Hills’ winning effort of 46 feet 3 4 inches was an inter-col legiate record hut at that, not worthy of the Prinretonian’s best. He Is the only American on view at the moment who has a chance to win the Olympic shot put. Vernon Booth of Johns Hopkins was the other record-maker. HlHl x bit short of his best running. Booth ran two miles In 9,36 and supported the ever-growing conviction that he is the only Yankee, now competing, who has a chance to take issue wltjt the foreigners over a distance o’ ground. Links to Train * at Nowata, Okl Lincoln-, March 3.—"I'm told have the nucleus for a winning lias# ball club. I have to take other pe*. pie’s word for that as I have only seen one of the 20 on my list in ac tion.’’ Howard Wakefield. Lincoln's West ern league manager, arrived here this morning and delivered himself of the foregoing speech. He added that, he would be in a much better posi tion to say what Lincoln's chances will be a few days after March 17. The Lincoln club will start training at Nowata, Okl., on that date. Wakefield had originally planned to take his club to Texas for the spring workout, but changed his plans. He Is here to close up a few odds and ends and to dicker with contrac tors for the erection of an addition to Landis field. The field now seats 2,500. Wakefield plans a seating ca parity of about t.bOO. Bill Lelivelt. secretary of the Lin coln club, will open an office this week and remain here until the cluk goes south. Wakefield was hadly handicapped by a lat» start as the Lincoln deal hung fire for several months. He is taking over the entire Sioux City re serve list, and will give them all a chance to make good. He has als signed Ed Zink, Lincoln State league pitcher, and Fred Conkey. the hear y. hitting catcher of last year's Link' Gibbons to Fight Moore. Winnipeg, March 3.—Tommy Gib bons.
