SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-HOW do
later day pugilists compare with those of
year a go 7
This Is a question frequently dlscus
Bed and never for obvious reasons settled
to the satisfaction of anyone concerned.
It a fellow becomes Involved In an argu
ment of this kind, the best he can do
Is hold fast to the opinion he started
out with. There is np way of putting;
the matter to a test
There Is surely one direction, however,
in' which a modern champion stands head
and shoulders over his prototype of ye
olden dAys. He knows better how to
capitalise his fighting; talents. When
boxing with gloves became an established
Indoor sport, a champion was content
to strive for a purse. There was a wln-
ner's and a loser's end. That way there !
was an Incentive to effort Now It Is
all .changed. A man who becomes a
champion commands and exercises tho
right to establish a scale of charges for
his services. Tor tackling an opponent
who, in public opinion, Is considered his
most serious rival, he wilt name a figure
that wilt make the promoters gasp. For
Kolng against a boxer with a slightly
damaged reputation he will consent to
cheaper terms. If asked to sign with
one who he thinks is really dangerous,
he will name such an lmpsosible sum
that the matter will be dropped.
nelcinsca to Commerce.
Things are coming to a pass where a
world's champion is more of a subject
for the commercial editor than for the
man whose specialty Is sport Jottings.
Ills "quotations," It seems to the writer,
should appear in the column devoted to
the meat prices of No. 1 steers and grain
fed hogs
Luther McCarty, the newest and shak
iest world's champion, U no exception to
the rule. Some one, presumably Mo
Carty, has arranged a schedule of early
summer activities for Lute. As a pro
gram of sporting fixtures, the thing mat
lack merit, but as a, financial project It
is all right
Here's how it reads: For six rounds
with Jim Flynn at Philadelphia, April IS.
McCarty will receive 15,000; for six rounds
with Frank Moran at Pittsburgh. April
JO, McCarty will pet J3.O0O; for ten rounds
with Carl Morris at Kansas City, May
4. McCarty will be paid 14,000; for ton
rounds with Tommy Durns at Calgary,
May n, McCarty will receive $10,000 per
haps more.
Assuredly McCarty la up-holding the
traditions of the latter day Champions'
Protective league. In naming his terms
he has displayed the utmost daring. In
electing his opponents he has been com
mendably cautious. The only thing about
It ,1s, that on a basis of comparative
values, McCarty may demand a million
If ever he Is asked to fight Jess Wltlard
Vr Ounboat Smith.
XiHtfcer Not to Blame.
In a way- Luther is not to blame. He
certainly did not originate, tho existing
order of things. Champions have set
their faces against a fair division of the
prise money for years, and It Is so long
since there was a winning or losing ohd
to a championship fight that the memory
of man scarcely goeth back to the oc
casslon. It was claimed, of course, that
Jeffries and Johnson fought "75" and
"id," but there are great grounds for be
lieving that the loot was evenly split
Bat Nelson,' who always claimed to be
a second John L. Sullivan In the matter
of honesty of purpose and who un
doubtedly was so far ac his work In the
ring was concerned was a tiger who
scented fresh blood when money was men
tioned. We all know how he held out for
and received the lion's share, or rather
the wolfs share at Ooldfleld.
German Olympio
Game Authorities
Change Program
BERLIN, April 5.-A. decision of Im
portance to English and American ath
letes has btwn taken by the Gorman
Olympic games authorities.
They havo decided, subject to the ap
proval of the International Olympio com
mittee, to eliminate from tho program of
the Berlin Olympiad in 1916 the double
handed method of shot putting, discus
throwing and Javelin throwing. Tho
chang la calculated to lower the chance
of the Swedes and Finns, who scored
many points at Stockholm under the
double-handed system.
The decision of the Clerman committee
Appears to be baaed on the advloe of
'Oerroan physicians, who say that the
Scandinavian system of "symmetrical de
velopment" of the entire body Is un
Bound, and that athletes should devote
themselves to excelling In the case of
throwing with one arm only. The Ger
man committee has also decided to ellm
Jnate the standing Jump, and Include in
the 'Berlin program only the running
jump, for both height and length.
CREIGHT0N TENNIS MEN
START SEASON'S WORK
Although base ball has assimilated most
of tho student Interest at present some
Crelghton students find time to devote
aome attention to tennis. The five
courts, located Just west of the collcee
auditorium, have been cleared and
rolled and are in good shape for tho
tournament, which will be started soon.
Prospects are good for both a varsity
and a high school team. Lawrence Bush
man, Edward Smyth, and Anthony Hut
Hron, all members of last ' year's team,
are still at school, although Joe Adams,
the other member, has gone to Omaha
High. His loss will be felt, aa he was

FRANK CHAWS BIG TASK
Peerless Leader Face to Pace with
His Supreme Test.
MAKING OVER YANKEE TEAM

Contender for First IMnoe In

lY W. J. M'HHTII.
NEW YOItK, April fi.-Frank Chance
faces one of the most trying tests of hi
brilliant major league career. Thursda
next the curtain will be rung up on tne
Atnerlcun league race. - The Peer.cs
Leader will find himself at the head of
a tall-end aggregation In strange and un
known company, bidding for patronage
against a local championship rival.
Chanco hns boen accustoinod to lead
championship teams, and naturally will
bend every energy toward remodeling h;s
trailers Into a pennant possibility lhis
will require patlcnco on the part wf
himself and his fiupporttrs. In this mt
of advanced base ball It Is not posslb.c
to develop a winner overnight ivit
Chance Is bound to be successful In the
end. tlo mny not be In the thick of tin
rKh season, but It Is a pretty luro
thing that ho will havo a contender h.i!
a much respected one before lilts thret
years' contract expires,
Frank Chance hns performed wonders
with a club that looked like a huge Joke
at the close of tho past season. He has
the players working In harmony and
to the very best of their ability. Ho has
but n maintain this happy condition
throughout the season to gain recogni
tion as one of the real managerial wiz
ards of the game.
What He Han Done
In the old Chicago Cubs Frank Chanctt
had one of the greatest base bait Ma
chines ever assembled under one banner:
H may be true that he was unusually
blessed with talented material! but :ie
showed results with the club which
proved him capable of getting every pos
sible ounce of energy out of his men.
He hooked them up and made them nlay
for team result and not for Individual
averages.
Chance Is doing Just that same thing
with New York. He Is the big mastsr
He thinks and plans for his mon nnil
Insists upon having his Instruction obeyid
to the lettor. He accepts full responsi
bility for the game. One has but to
spend a few d.ays in his camp to roallze
why Chance Is so successful. He Is a
big man. That Is the true secret
Ills Itnle Is niirlil.
First of all Frank Chance Is a dis
ciplinarian. He took charge of a badlv
disorganized club which had not the
faintest smattering of what discipline
meant. In his now environs it was abso
lutely necessary to control tho players,
and to teach them respect for the master.
For this reason Chance Instituted a num
ber of set rules that would not have
been necessary, perhaps, hail his players
been used to conscientious training. One
rule forced everyone to bo In the hotel
before 11:80 o'clock at night. The alter
native was a stiff fine. And Jf a player,
no matter who he might be, was late by
so much as a minute the fine was levied.
Chance plays no favorites. The raw re
cruit meets with as much rtspect and
consideration as the greatest star. He
Is subjected to the samo discipline.
Chance has the faculty of expressing
himself clearly In no mlstakable terms
He keeps closely In touch with the habits
and associations of every one of his
men, A carefully dropped hint here and
there does more for him than a carpet
lecture would a leas Btcrn man. What
Chance has to say carries weight be
cause he looks the part and stands ready
to go to tho mat In any way with one
who disobeys him.
Charm of the Mnn,
The charm of his personality cannot be
denied. He has never nskod a player to
do what he would not cheerfully do him
self. He submits himself to all the rigid
training rules. He courts obedience by
setting a proper example. For Instance,
Chance has never been nway from the
hotel as late as 11:30 o'clock. Generally
he is in bed long before that hour. He
has torn himself away from any number
or social engagements so that he would
not infringe upon the rules his players
were forced to respect
The Peerless Leader has no use tor
espionage. Ho will not tolerate tale
bearing. He depends upon himself for all
Information. Yet the players have found
out that they can put nothing over on
him. On several occasions when a man
had Just about begun to congratulate
himself over having sneaked In late he
would be approached In this fashion by
the Pearless Leader:
"Better have that watch of yours at
tended to. It's running late. And by the
way you're fined for not beating the flag
last night."
Everybody Hustling.
Nothing escapes Chance on the bait
field. The players have learned this and
hurtle accordingly. They respect him
for his cleverness, ability ond earnest
ness. They have .hustled all spring and
they will hustle all summer. Wherever
the club may finish It is a moral cer
tainty that It will do the very best that
nance's ability as a general combined
with earnest loyalty of his following can
assure. He may not bo In the flag fight
this year, but he will give a good account
of himself nevertheless. His team should
finish in the first division or very close
to It
INTER-CLASS BASE BALL IS
ORGANIZED AT CREIGHT0N
An inter-ciass base bail league has
been organized at tho arts department
of Crelghton university and three same
wit be played each week. During these
evenings the varsity teams will give
way to the younger players until
O'clock, when the games will be called
If not concluded.
The tnter-class league proved Immensely
popular last yearjfcwhen there was no
vatslty team and much Interest Is ul
ready manifested In the organisation this
year. There will be six teams, with a
schedule of six or twelve game.
Last year's battle was hard fought the
senior class finally winning out by
narrow margin.

For three or four weeks past N coaches
have sent their men out to try them
selves In their specialties, and according
to reports ever) college will be fit and
ready when the curtain arises on what
Is expected to be the greatest meeting
of recent years.
Dopcsters have begun their undying
task of trying to pick the winning Insti
tution tw'o months In advance. Gradua
tion of several stars .will hurt the smaller
colleges moro so than the big universities.
Pennsylvania triumphed In ' clean cut
style last year, but It has the fight
of Its life on Its hands this year. Cornell
must be contended with by reason of the
fact that It retains thirteen and a
half of seventeen points scored last year,
as against fourteen points . that will
represent Penn out of a total of .twenty
eight . . -
These same manipulators of, the dope
stuff figure 'out that -half, a dozen new
records will bo set up Memorial day.
Four world-famous stars, three' of them
record-holders, will be seen again In
competition.
Stars to Compete. '
John Paul Jones of Cornell, holds the
world's record for the mile; 'Maro 8.
Wright of Dartmouth Is 'still the proud
possessor of the best mark forsthe 'pole
vault: Russell L. Realty of Columbia has
managed to stay in front fifth the best
shot put. while K. I. Wendell of Wes
leyan, ' who has made more than good
over the hurdles since his fine showing
at Stockholm, will give J.lmmy Cra'ir of
Michigan, the toughest fight he ever ex
PTiqnced over the low sticks.
Going by statistics and the condition of
several prominent point corers. Jack
Mnaklev'g team Is generally picked t"
grab off Jhe bl-r cup. It Penn manages
to win aialn this year it will be on an
equal footing with the Ithaca Institution
Tide is the onl" chance for Cornell, for
If lt John Paul Jhvs or several others
fall at the psychological . moment so to

away with the laurels a year hence.

Manager Frank Chance has decided to
rttaln Hoy Hartzell at his regular, berth
around third bane. For a while It was
thought that the sensational youngster,
Mldklff would steal hoy's Job away
from him. but the Veteran canto through
with flying colors when the,, weedlng-out
proco-8 began, 'and Mldklff will probably
bo retained as a utility Inflclder.
Hartzoit went to New, York from, St

chancea of getting second or third place.
It suffers heavily by the loss of. Refd
path, who scored ten of Its twelve points
last year.- In contrast Michigan , comes
to the front with Its Craig, Captain
Haff, Halmpaugh' and Kohlpr. ' -
The Michigan team will bear the clos
est kind of watching. Craig won the low
est hurdles lost-year and he Is said -to
have improved considerably since that
time. Ho should bo many yards better
thon any other low hurdler In the col
lege ranks. Haff, who finished second
to Reldpath, and who showed some good
stuff on the other side, will be on the
Job for fair this time. Kohler,. who
finished fourth In the hammer throw,
ts sure to better his position.
Penn has lost four of its stars by grad
uation. They include Durdlok, the win
ner of the high Jump; Lane, second in
this event; Hdwards, second In the high
hurdles, and Haydock. second In the
low hurdles. If Lipplncott. Marshall and
Patterson, come around O IC, Mike Mur
phy belloves ho will win just as easily
as last year.
Other Possible Winners.
Jones Is Moakley's ace In the hole.
Jack figures on John Paul , winning the
half, and. mile races, which . great task
ho accomplished two years ago. Tabor
tlod Jones In the mile last, year, but
Jones Is going to pay . pore Attention to
himself this time, because he will not
be asked to help a college mate.
Snyder Is going over,; the Jumps with
Jones in daily pradtlce and Koakley fig
ures he wilt take second, place to J. P.
Coisans is still "there. Captain' Mercer
of Penn, will hove McCurdy, Griffith and
Madeira to- help him but. besides Ltp
plnoott Marshall and Patterson.
Columbia. Yale, Harvard and Part
mouth have 'been strengthened somewhat
by. new. material.
Dartmouth with Wright in the pole
vault; Emrlght, In the high Jump, and
Ball, In the two-mile run, has three pro
spective champions, while Whitney, who
was third in the shot put at the Olympio
games and Is a first-class hammer
thrower, will help, to make Dartmouth
formidable.
Columbia has lost only Captain Harry
Rabcock, the Olympic pole vault cham
pion, and retains three men who scored.
Reatty should have little difficulty In get
ting the shot put again, while Brady, the
Junior national low hurdles champion,
will push Craig hard, and Jacobs, second
In the 100, should outfight Thomas this
year.
No Ilnlsc 1 or Holdouts.
In connection with the collapse of Sam
Crawford as a holdout and the stateraout
that ho signed for his old salary, an
official of the Detroit club states that no
holdout player haa been given an Increase
and that every one who was tardy In
signing a contract was the sufferer ax
a fcfcult.
TO SWIM ENGLISH CHANNEL!
Three Americana Will Make the
Attempt to Paddle Aerois. .
ALL HAVE TRAINED HARD
Each 11ns Undergone n Long Serious
Training; to Make Illm Fit for
the Gmelllnr Test to
Come.
NEW YORK, April 3.--U plans now un
der way are brought . to a satisfactory
conclusion three Americans will attempt
within the next few months to swim the
English channel, the great goal that the
world's best distance puddlcrs have ever
held In sight.
The candidates for the gruelling test
are Charles Durborow of Philadelphia,
Joseph M. Callahan of Pittsburgh and
RenJamln H. Schlomberg of Now York.
Durborow Is. an amateur and a member
of the Philadelphia S'lmmmg club; the
other two are llfesavcrs. Callahan has
been attached for seven years to .the At
lantic City squad of professionals, and
Schlomberg is affiliated with the United
States Volunteer corps.
Of -Durborow's ability to complete the
Journey between England and France
there can be no doubt. Last summer he
covered a course In Delaware bay which
measures nineteen and a half miles on the
government charts, and eye witnesses fa
miliar with conditions abroad pronounced
the feat equal In both distance and diffi
culty to the classic foreign trip. Indeed,
tides and currents so lengthened Dur
borow's way that-the patent-logs on-th
accompanying boat registered a lhode
under forty-three miles. For the rest,
the Phlladclphlan haa rpeed far beyond
the average plugger, inexhaustible en
durance, unlimited gilt and the needed
f.eah to dlsc6unt the ill effects of a pro
longed stay In cold waff r. The Delawaro
bay swim saw him hold the trudgeon
stroke from start to finish, a period of
fifteen hours and one-quarter.
Undergo Much Preparation.
Callahan has awaited for some Umo the
opportunity to try the noted feat and
prepared himself for It b frequently
taking long swims on the Jersey shore.
Most of his records from point to point
have never been touched. His friends
are now convinced that he is good enough
to succeed where so many have failed,
and they have contributed the necessary
funds to defray the cost of sending him
to Europe. Like Durtrow, Callahan is
well fitted physically for the task before
him. lie has stamina, strength, weight,
nerve and Is almost as fast as his rival.
Schlomberg's intention to tackle the
channel swim was made known through
an open challenge published In the local
newspapers. He offered to meet any
swimmer in the world over the course
between May 1 and 16. The choice of
such an early date caused considerable
surprise, for, many consider the northern
seas entirely too frigid In early May to
make It possible for several hours with
out collapsing. Schlomberg, howeVer,
seems to have no misgivings, and Is con
fident that he can succeed.
Callahan will not undertake the pun
ishing grind until July, and Durborow Is
In favor of starting at the beginning
of August Both have written abroad to
arrange all matters of detail, and from
the way they speak It appears certain
that negotiations wlM be favorably closed
In the near future. Several foreigners
are scheduled also to try and span the
channel shores, and It will not be sur
prising to hear of the daring swim be
ing authentically achieved.
First No lilt Game.
The first no-hlt game of the season
goes to Pitcher Kunkle of the Newark
International league team, who let down
the Charleston Bouth Atlantic leanuo
team without a safe drive In an exhi
bition game on March 25. Not a Charles
ton player reached third base.
Some Hit.
Item for the record keeper: Walter
Johnson set an Unofftctal mark for fungo
hitting recently at Charlottesville. He
drove the boll 413 feet 8 Inches, two
Inches more, thev aav. than the mark

Johnson's performance was March il.
