THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY. smTSMUhK 1. UK!. Big Task Faces Crimson iMentorj Mut Develop Machine to Jh Meet Leading Teams of Country. Stw York, Spt. 17. (Special.) There it no roubt that Coach Robert T. Fiaher and hit ilafT of a tiktanti face the niot strenuous Uik in Harvard foot ball thia fall that a Harvard team ha faced ou he gridiron ince the war. A Fisher i team thus far has not been le. fitted. It will take considerable skill in the development of the iquad v.hich reoorti today to maintain that hoatt at the cioe of the lea- sen. facing in addition to tale and J'rintviun, rennkylvania state, ven ter. Holy Cros and other formid ilile teams. Virtually the whole strength that will be available during the year is expected to report. Coach Fisher's corps of baclfield coaches will have one of the most likely looking and pliable bundle of offensive men to train that has been the ease in years. There fs no "Eddie Caey nor vet a ,,Ned"i Mahan in the group, but vith Ros- coe Fitts, George Owen, Withrop. Churchill. Bnell, Johnnon.

With "Eddie" Mahan, Billy Murray, and iJick Humphrey among the assist int coaches whom Fisher has called. "the Rroup will get plenty of good; tutoring. Fought Cautious . To Save Crown Wilson Not Stalling But Using Every Precaution Possible. v . In holding up Johnny Wilsons ". share of the purse for his bout with Downey, the New Jersey boxing commission does not charge the mid dleweifiht champion with crooked ness. Wilson thought he was doing the smart thing when he played it safe, refusing to take a chance ot run ninor into a havmaker from a man who had knocked him down three times in a former contest. The com mission's attitude is. that Wilson was getting too much money to be al lowed to box on the defensive. The idea is a good one. but it will take some pretty close figuring to decide just how many times a cham ' pion must lead and how many times he shall be permitted to step away , from an opponent's lunges without landing an effective return." On the other hand it is high time that these i cautious champions, who demand big money for their services, be forced to do some real Ilgnung anu nui iiieisij play safe from beginning to ena.

Women's Finals To Be 36 Holes New York. Scot. 17. (Special.) Women golfers on this side of the water this year, for the first time, will play a 36-hole final round for their championship tournament Thus there is little doubt that the competition at the Hollywood Golf club next month will, develop the olayer best fitted to wear the chan ' pionship crown. That is, unless the fair players decide, with the profes " sionals that 13 holes are not suf v ficient to determine the 32 players best qualified to continue at match play. : . . . When the question was put to a vote the result was overwhelmingly in ' favor of a ; 36-hole final and the women's committee has also brought about a change in the tinals for the national championship. It is beine hoDcd that Miss Alexa btir ling and Miss Cecil Leitah, the American and British champions, respectively, will not meet in the very early rounds. : Promoter Loses Money on Bout New York. Sept. 17. (Special) Local boxing followers evidently sired up the recent Wilson-Downey match correctly. When the full re turns tverc announced it was made known that only 13,636 persons caw the bout. Of these 1.347 were dead heads. The gate receipts amounted to $49,68o. The state received $4. 968.50. - The boxers in the main event re ceived guarantees that amounted to considerably more than the total re ceipt. Wilson was guaranteed $35. 200 for his nd and Downer 122:500.

Walter Hagen Back In Golf pmelight By Recent Victory New York, Sept. 17. Walter Ha gen has returned to the limelight and is now in possession of the western open championship. His splendid golf exhibition in this tournament, when he was never in the league until the end of the last round shows Walter in old-time form and still thu dangerous contender that he has al ways been in championship play. - Those who had figured that Ha gen had gone back must have re ceived a shock to see him at the toy again leading the best pros in the country. All that Hagen has done this year has been to finish sixth in the British open, second in the American open, and first in the West crn open, Fordham May Get Yale Grid Star ' Fordham and Rutgers university foot ball teams are both busy at practice. Fordham is interested chief ly in the report that "Fido" Kemp ton, quarterback at Yale a year ago, and rated as one of the headiest pi lots in the east, may make a bid for one of the Maroon backfield berths this fall. The Ell .star grad uated from the New Haven univer sity in June. . He is said to be con sidering matriculation in Fordham's law school. The newcomers who are attract ing attention at Fordham are Bill Stein Lejf Sprond and Jack Wood ward, a trio of youngsters who saw service on the team of Two Harbors High school, in Minnesota, last year. Each of them' seems like a reincarr nated Viking, broad-shouldered, and speedy and possessed of that keen ness which bespeaks the born athlete. m M O T O R. CARS : i 1 E X H I B I T OF I New York, Sept 17.Iu boxing circles the new rulea of the state athletic commiktion regarding the paying of boxers received much praise. The rule that in ctar bout boxers must be paid on a percentage basis and all guarantees prohibited was passed unanimously. . The 'W rules will meliorate many of the financial conditions which have W'en threatening the ?mr here and will protect clubs, boxer and patrons. The preliminary boys will rejoice on the setting of a minimum wage ot $10. If the truth were known, loys have received less than that jor six and eight round bouts,a:ind have had to pay $50 and $60 for doctor's bills resulting from them. 1 he star boxer now ha to take an equal chance with the promoter, lie will be paid according to Lis box office value no more, no less. The lesser known boxer is amply pro jected. He no longer can be turned .t!,U a .mini. 'kil. M affjP receiving a damaging beating to boot. Incidentally, the commission orders that the space assigned for admis sion tickets shall be increased at all clubs, and in order that through this increase the promoter shall sutler no hardship, the price limit on seats has been raised from $15 to $25. That apparently is fair and just Frush Almost an Unknown in N. Y. The making of the Kilbane-Frush match brought a new featherweight into prominence. Ring followers in New York do not know a great deal 'about Frush and they suspect that he does not amount to a great deal, since Kilbane was willing to meet him with his title at stake. But Frush may be a better man than is suspected. He holds a referee's decision over Chaney, and the latter has fought shy of a re turn engagement, although Frush was perfectly willing to give him satisfaction. Frush showed himself at Madison Square Garden on one occasion last winter, defeating Artie O'Leary on points in 12 rounds. 1 1 i Harrixin club is the famous old trie A. A. undrr a new name.

Herman Has Title Chances Professional Soccer Foot Hall Is Ushered in With Eight Clubs From Five S tates in the League KGANIZKl) professional aoccer foot ball on a ' big ncale will come into being- in 'the United States today, when the schedule nelson of the American Soccer Icajrue, nn eight club circuit operating in five xtatea of the east, opens. The eport on this basis is a distinct development in the progress of the kickine jrame in this coun try, which has made rapid advancement under United States Foot Hall association government in the last seven or cijrht years.

The Development of Long Distance Runners Planned America Woefully Weak in Thia IMiase of Athletics To Arrange Mile Events. New York, Sipt. 17. (Special.) Babe Herman, the featherweight stablematc of Jack Dempscy, prom ise to be a factor in the feather weight situation during -the coming winter. Herman appear to have everything that a champion needs except experience. If he does not outgrow the class he is bound to make thing lively for the veterans. Already Herman lias earned the re spect of the topnotchcrs and Charley Beecher is the only one with courage enough to take a chance with him. Beecher believes he knows too much for the ambitious Herman and is ready to make the match as soon as a good offer is made for the bout. Beecher himself is progressing fast. For a time last winter Andy Chaney looked like the best of the contenders for the veteran Kilbanc's title. Then Billy De Fore made his appearance and he promptly dis placed Chancy. In the meantime Beecher was progressing faster than any of the others. He lost a very close decision to Chaney m Mad ison Square Garden, but early this summer he beat Andy by a clear margin, although he received only a draw. The next time they meet Beecher should make his superiority apparent to all. Bituminous coal mines arc always idle for one-third to one-fourth of the ,time in ordinary years, because j they are worked on the basis of the winter output. New York, Sept. 17. (Special.) Paul Pilgrim, athletic director of tht New York A. C, ha advocated a series of long diolance runs to bt conducted by the club. Tht first wilt be held September 24 at tht fall gamt at '1 raver ltand.

C will endeavor tn retrieve ome of their loot prestige in distance run ning before the next Olmpiad in 19.M. It was the showing of the long distance men in the last Olympica that made, the New York Athletic club realize how weak this country really is in that branch of athletic. It is true that Uncle Sam won the ancient Greek classic, but the vie lory was not as impressive, insofar as the distance event were con cerned, a the ones scored by the United State in Stockholm, Lon don, Athens and St. Louis. In each of these different year the European coaches who watched the American commented upon the well-balanced team that represented the younger nation. There wero great sprinters, good middle dis tances, sterling long distance men and equally as great athletes lit the track events. There were ome great sprinter like Paddock, Scholz, Murchison and Kirkscy, Eby, Ray and Shields in the middle-distance, but in the longer distance we were feebly rep resented. Kolehmainen of Finland. Guillemot of France and the won derful little Nurmi of Finland usurped the place once held by the American long distance men. In the 5.000,, 10,000 meters and the marathon we failed to win a place.
