3 s talE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 19, 1910. i Tim Omaiiai Sunday I Deb, OlAHA, KF.B., SUNDAY. JUNE 19, 1310. TUB moKt disgusting featur about the whole plana and preparation for the Jeffries-Johnson fight !s the foolish effort of the promoter to pretend that It la not to be a prlae fight, but a. boxing match. Of -course, tt.tr do not mean thla seriously, nor for any purpoce except that of aecklng to satisfy the demanda of the law and authorities. It looked for a while that thr-y had made their coarse work stick with the governor of California, or that he had agreed to ahut his eyea and let the thing go. But better Influence have pre vailed. Undoubtedly the governor changed his view because he waa made to under stand that If the fight waa held In Ban Francisco that city need not expect con gressional favor for the Panama-Pacific exposition. Prize fighting la on Its last legs In thla country and since It has come ' down to the common level of capitalised : sport It la well that the lawa are closing . In upon It It is a radical form of brutality with death-dealing propensities and haa nothing to defend It when put to rout. The country does not need It and aportsman ' ship will be better off without It.. Un ' doubtedly the wholesale avar.ee char- acterislng every, move of the men re- ' sponsible for the coming affair haa done much to basted the end of the game and ' to that extent may be regarded as a good - agency. The fight may yet be held some where In Nevada, for Nevada is not yet In a position, legally, to stop it, though the - tide of public sentiment la rising there - against It as elsewhere. , For five yeara old George Van Haltren has acted as tha "negative acout" on the I'aclfio coast for Pittsburg. He haa never bought a man for the Pirates, never recom . mended one; all he has to do la to point : out the danger signals, tell Dreyfus what men to let alone, not buy. People little realize the detail that goea Into the man agement of a great base ball team. Twelve months In tha year scouts are scouring the country for available material and trainers ant whipping this material 1 Into shape or finding It unavailable and other aeouts are looking out for the lemons. Many minor leaguers look So . tempting hat the ordinary acout, just coming Into thu league, may seise him as a find, but with a man on the ground like Van Hal tren, who knows tha private habits as ' -well as the publlo performances of the 'player, the major league team may be saved lota of trouble and some expense. Not every man who plays fine ball is de sirable. He may have bad habits, or a bad'disposltlon or something else to more than' offset his good playing. Then ha Is the fellow to pasa up. t . Much ia being said of the system of 'pen sioning ball players who have served their dayv It seems to ua that before anything ;.i)f this kind could approach being practical vary stringent i rules would have to be adopted aa to the eligibility of the player. Homo men take care of themselves and play out their game, while others waste their substance and end their oareera prema "lSr!y. These latter are entitled to little or no 'considerations. The mere fact that (hey havb 'beri ball players should count for nothing. If they' have been hard work ing ;baU players, sober and regular, then they are entitled to pensions. - Whatever we may think or the cause of the Pirates' slump, we must be Impressed with the thought that It is permanent. Nothing but a most radical change In form In them or the teams leading them can bring the pennant back to Pittsburg. The team does not look to ua like a repeater, anyway. For that matter it won last year only, because of extremely bad luck to the Cubs, not to disparage the victory of the rirates at all, Wagner undoubtedly haa jpasbed his zenith and the new men are not rising high enough to make up for his loss. - C0RR1D0N STILL PILFERING Le&da Western League in Bate Steal ing by Wide Margin.

Jack Holland la making many moves .to build up his St. Joe team. . Tho team lumped from Its original dash, which It iuld not, from the make-up, be expected to maintain long. Holland has landed Tex Jones for first, Fox for second base, which ought to add great strength, and Rellly, from the Chicago White Box. for short step; and la dickering with the Be Iula Browns for a pitcher. Jack is entitled to win and probably will get his dessert, for ho known how and is a stayer. That American league race la a beauty. New' York and Philadelphia are still going good, but the Tlgcra have been hitting an awful clip of late, a clip that wins pen nanU. But, though Detroit may make It our' straights, it cannot hope to capture he flag thla year aa easy aa it haa in any of tho laat three. The. Highlanders and Athletics' are organized now and are going Id for team work. Chance lias demonstrated several times this lust week that he la a real leader. In New York with tho acore against tha Cuba in the ninth Inning and two outa and the bases full, he sends a ball to right field, which gets past Murray and goea for four juns. A leader who can show the rest of the team how It is done at critical times Is a, great leader. , ... One of the biggest joke which our fiKtj . wrestlers have played In a long while was tho Zbyszko-Roller match, so-called, at Seattle. The Pol let the Doctor Vake up hour and fifty-two minutes of hi time In ;he first 'ail. when he probably could have thrown him in 'two minutes. It's a gay life. , ,,- The ways of the St, Loula Browns man agement are past finding out. Stone just gets down to his normal hitting gait when he is jerked out to let Fisher play in left, and Flaher, for the first three games, failed to touch the ball, and in the next got three hits f single, double and triple. ne ,nmrt as well as the head must figure i In a ball game. This la shown In the example of the St. Loula Browns. Thoy have met defeat so often this season that they have come to take It as a mutter of cpurse and show little interest in the game. Jainlgan is one pitcher in the Western league who will bear watching, and the ta.uis have the tip, too. , ' 'jnntead of Fred Clarke thinking of taking to the bench, h had better send tha rest of his team there. Ty Cobb threatens to- run the colonel a close race for first honors at the White House. Co ire on. Pa, whip 'em up.

Y., June 48. Apparently Cornell's wonderful string of long-distance runners developed during the last eight or ten yeaiB has been her undoing in track athletics. The men with the "Moakley stride" have so consistently won cross country and two-mile events In intercol legiate contests that the undergraduates at Ithaca have begun to count on their long-distance men to win In track and field meet alone. There has been a dearth of material for other eventa and Coach Moak ley haa had to build the semblance of a well-rounded squad from Insufficient or In capable timber.' Whether Uie material haa been lacking In tha enrollment or whether good men are present who do not care tq compete when all the seeming honors go to long-distanoe men Is a queetlfn which Cornell athletlo officers are trying to decide. At any rate, since a certain glorious day when a Cornell team won the Intercolleg lates, a rowing race, a base ball game and three minor sports contents besides the red and whit track teams gave, been on the decline.

In part the old center fielder says: "If the publication of this letter pro vokes some discussion with regard to the amateur and professional status, so-called, In college athletics, my purpose will be fully satisfied. I have never been able to endorse the present rules of athletic eligi bility as now In force at Harvard and Yale. I have always regarded any re striction upon summer base boll as a di rect Interference with- a legitimate and honorable means for, a student to obtain tha necessary funds for a college educa tion.. Just why a young man should be obliged to take a menial position paying a few dollars a week when he could very easily, were It not for the rules, earn suf ficient money playing ball to defray a largo part of his college expenses, I have never been able to understand. "The rule certainly has a strong ten dency to put a premium upon wealth and to prevent tlie poor man from getting the benefit of en education at a large college. Within the last four years I ' have been obliged to advise not less than six young men of unquestioned base ball ability. scholarship and moral standing to enter a college which allowed lta students the privilege of playing summer base ball. All of these young men had a strong desire to go to Tale, but were dependent upon their own efforts to earn an education, and they could In no other way make as much money ea they could by playing ball In summer; All wore men of ability and re finement and would not' only have made a good bulwark for the Yale base ball team but would have reflected credit upon the college In every way. "Even to prevent a young man of wealth from playing ball on a semi-professional team during the summer is a direct detri ment toward raising the standard ot base ball, and In this way more than In weak ness of the Yale and Harvard teams. A man atrtving for en education should not be restricted from legitimately earning the tamo, and It is a great hardship to say that only those who have money and are not obliged to work for an education should represent their college upon the athletlo field, and under the rule, by neces sary implication, auch is the fact. "I do not believe It Is right for anyone to make athletics of more importance than education, and, of course, athletics should be entirely subordinate. The rule debar ring a man from representing his college In athletics should aim to distinguish whether or not tha individual la In college for the purpose of athletics or for the purpose of obtaining an education. It would not be difficult to frame a rule which would debar an Individual whose principal object Is to take, part In ath letlca. Thla might be accomplished by re quiring a higher standard of scholarship and setting an age limit upon tha com petitors for college teams. "The rules preventing athletes from ob taining remuneration directly or Indirectly from the 'college Is, of course, a good rule and, should not be adversely criticised, nor do I take that position here. "In another year -or two, should the present system continue, I shall expect to see it the regular thing for Amherst, Wil liams, Brown, Tufts and other small col leges winning regularly over Yale, Har vard or Princeton. Such a result will be the inevitable outcome of the present re striction. I am in favor of anything which will raise the scholastic standards and I am willing to aee a corresponding decrease in athletic prowess, if attributable to this, but if the lowering of the athletlo stan dard is caused by a prevention of legiti mate ways of earning an education, I object."
