A
Iowa Aggies' Trainer Thinks
Track Team Will Be Fast
This Year.
Speoial to The Journal.
Amei, Iowa, March 31.Track work under the
supervision or Trniner Jacs "Watson at the Iowa
state college Is progressing nicely, considering
the unfavorable weather which has prevailed
the past two weeks. Ames is sadly in need of
better accommodations for her athletes, as it is
found Impossible to carry on training work sat
isfactorily in the present quarters. But in spite
of the crowded little wooden structure used for
training and the cold weather which has retard
ed outdoor exercise, the candidates are show
ing up in exceedingly good form, and Trainer
Watson has high hopes of developing a fast
team.
"The spirit is fine." says Watson. "The older
fellows are getting more and more Into my way
and the whole bunch is doing more consistent
training than at any time last year. We are
away ahead of last year in form and condition.
Had we certainly have got a great bunch. Every
body is working this year. Last year we started
late and tto old men took their time In getting
to wcrk to learu my system. Consequently they
did not accomplish anything. This year it is
different. Practically all of the old men are
out and working hard."
Iu the 100-yard dash Copeland. SIcElhlnney,
Heisey and Luberger, all old veterans, will
show well. There are also some new men who
will do well iu this event. In the 220-yard
there 1B no lack of good material. Packer, Luber

all of them fast. In the 440-yard event there
is somewhat of a scarcity of material. Hub
bard. Carr, McElhinney, Sieben and Woods will
make an effort to hold up this end of the work.
Beard, who won the half-mile at the state
meet last year, is back and will be a strong
bidder for that event again this year. There are
at least five other men here who will be out for
the half also. There seems to be some good ma
terial on hand for the long-distance races this
year. Curtis, Beard, Mutch, Packard and Van
Martor will be much in evidence when it comes
to the finish.
Just what the relay teams will be this year is
somewhat uncertain at this time, but it appears
that a good fast bunch can be picked from the
large number of candidates. The Held events
and the hurdles will he well represented. There
Is no lack of material in the weight events.

IOWA LEAGDE TEAMS
SHOW HP FOR WORK
Special to The Journal.
Marshalltown. Iowa. March 31.A* the time
for opening the Iowa state league season ap
proaches more interest is being taken In the
teams which will represent the eight cities in
the circuit. Practice games already are bein^
played by some of the southern towns, but
nothing that would give a line on the players
has as vet been done. There is a considerable
sentiment in the league against allowing prac
tice games between the various clubs, as it is be
lieved that it tends to lessen the interest in
the game, especially in those town whose teams
do not show up well in the practice.
President Peckham has secured a staff of good
umpires, having signed Joe Miller of Cleveland,
Ohio, and Morris F. Dannihy of Rochester, N. Y.
recently. Both men are well recommended, aud
it seems likely that the trouble which the
league had over umpires last year -will be avoid
ed the coming season.

ANOTHER FIGHT IN
THE ASSOCIATION
Special to The Journal.
-4
Milwaukee, Wis., March 31.Following the re
port at the Chicago meeting that all was har
monious in the American association comes word
this morning that President W. H. Watkins of
the Indianapolis club states positively that the
organization will be disrupted if the Victor ball
is adopted by the association. President Joe
O'Brien was approached on the subject this
morning and said: -'I must refuse to discuss
with local wrestling enthusiasts who were out ,.,.,_,*.* ...v.
to take in the match between Leo Pardello, the nessed all the world championship games which
the matter of an official ball for the reason that
1 bare not as yet received official notification
regarding it. It Is my intention to carry out
faithfully and impartially any instructions im
posed upon me by the board of directors.of the
American association and the national commis
sion. Further than that I refuse to commit
myself at this time."
Owner C. S. Havenor of the Milwaukee club
and member of the board of directors said re
garding the matter: "The board authorized the
If
president to use the Victor ball for one year,
because their bid was the lowest. We got. up
a schedule which is the fairest in the history
of the association. Messrs. Brice and Watkins
gave up nothing.*'
"TOOT" THOMPSON HAS
HIS OWN SCHEDULE
The mystery of "Toot" Thompson has been
solved.
"Tootlets" ie abiding at his home near Ren
ville and is getting into condition to report. The
Indian was not sure of his form when reporting
time came, so he simply remained at his ownholder
bailiwick to put himself in shape to contest
with the other members of the Minneapolis
team when he did get out on the grass.
Every morning "Toot" is getting out at sun
rise, breaking 'the ice in the water trough and
taking a cold plunge. After that he chases
a little jaunt of twenty miles to get up an ap
petite for breakfast. After the matutinal assault
on the ham-and. "Toot" again takes to the road,
and If he perspires before he runs fifty miles
he is dissatisfied with his condition.
After luncheon he chases jackrabbits over the
hills and level places and winds up by running
down wolves for a breather. When he does come
to town and starts to play in the infield there
will be a ripping of sod and a mighty trampling
of grass.
In the meantime there is considerable curios'
ity as to the whereabouts of the "Thompson'
who was abducted by Acting Captain McElroy
piled on a train and told to get off at Burling
ton. It's a long walk back and the temper
of the timberjack may not be the best when
he arrives.

Clarkson Brings Out a Trouble
Maker for the Batting

Journal Special Service,
Birmingham, Ala., March 81.It seems that
Walter Clarkson has had a new delivery up his
sleeve, but was afraid to try any new wrinkles
with his arm until the weather became warm
or sultry, as it was Thursday. Griffith knew
the ex-Harvard boy had this new thing, but he
kept It under cover. The delivery Is a slow
Italian chamnion, and Demetral, the Greek De

to throw Demetral in fifteen minutes, which he They noticed that he scarcely ever pitched a

one, to mix in with speed. It is started for
about the waist of the batsman, and appears
to rise a bit at first, then it takes a sudden
kinky drop and becomes a "fade away" with
a slight in curve just as it drops over the
plate. Clarkson has natned it the "ski."
It seems that both Griffit and Clarkson 'wit
entirely on the drop and fade-away. It was
Matty's faultless and perfect control that brought
the ball to the very acme of effectiveness.
Griffith put on his thinking cap, and while
Clarkson was visiting him at his ranch last
winter they put their heads together and studied
and practiced the delivery.
Griffith has the fade-away In his repertoire of
"sneaks," but he has not the speed to mix it
in with ft swift shoot, which is absolutely neces
sary to bring it to Matty's degree of effective
ness. So, as Clarkson has the necessary speed,
he was coached by Griffith, and the result was
Clarkson's surprising display of yesterday.

NELSON EARNINGS
AS A FIGHTER
Shows Contrast Between Present
and Days He Got $10 a
Month at Huron
Special to The Journal.
Huron, S. D-, March 31.Six years ago. when
Battling Nelson, now the champion lightweight
pugilist of the world, walked into Huron, penni
less and a stranger, he sought employment at
any sort of work that would provide for him an
honest living. He came from Hcgwlch, 111.,
expecting to And employment In the North
Western railway shops here, but was disappoint
ed. He finally got a "job" as a helper In a
meat market at $10 per month. This salary was
not sufficient to pay his board and he therefore
found a home with J. J. Robins and family,
doing work about the house and barn In payment
for his board.
A few months later he got other employment,
and left Huron. The Robins family, however,
being much interested in him, kept track of his
wanderings. Nelson always appreciated the
kindness shown him by Mrs. Robins, whom he
delighted to call his foster-mother. Immediately
after his recent bout with MeGovern In Phila
delphia Nelson sent Mrs. Robins a telegram
advising her of his victory, altho she had en
deavored to induce him to forsake the "ring."
She has received a letter from Nelson In -which
he says:
"I have many times thought of you and my
friends in Huron, for I have many good friends
there. Things have changed since I was in
yourihome. Then I worked for $10 per month
now I get, or got on March 14, $9,971.50 for
just 18 minutes' work. That's going some, isn't
it? For my flght with Brltt on Sept. 9, last,
when I knocked him out in eighteen rounds and
won the championship of the world. I got $24,980
for one hour and twelve minutes. Since early
in September I have been on the show stage,
receiving from $1,000. to $1,400 per week*in all
about $20,000. I go to Los Angeles to flght
Herrera for a $20,000 purse. I receive a bonus
of $,OO0, and the winner will receive SO.60O and
the loser receives $6,400. As I have whipped
him once, I think I can do so again easily,"
After referring to members of his family,
particularly to his brother Charles whom he Is
educating at Hitchcock military academy, San
Rafael. Cal., and inquiring about Rev. C. B.
Clark, now presiding elder of the Black Hills
district. Battling Nelson says when he takes
a vacation he will make Huron a visit and
renew old friendships. It is possible that, fol
lowing his bout with Herrera Mar 19 at Los
Angeles, he will abandon the prize ring, having
accumulated quite a fortune, which he seems to
hare judiciously inrested.
