Football Coach Says Beef
Is To Come Back With Vengeance
COACH BREWER, of the university
of Missouri, has some decided
opinions about the new rules, and
uce of them is that beef is to have its
comeback with a vengeance.
Brewer is an old Wisconsin star, and,
trained in the "man belt" where the
Yensens and Svensons furnish plenty of
30 pound recruits from the sopho
more class, he Is used to heavy foot
ball teams. Nevertheless he turned out
a. fast, light, snappy team last season.
But now comes the renaissance of beef.
1 our downs In which to make 10 yards J
IS gUlH& LU liu.11 LI1U inuiu i;iutil uil
the team that does consistent, hard
1 ne plunging "straight football" the
ttam that can puncture the line for
three, four and five yards a down.
Under the rules of last year the av
t age football team was anable to score
n anything like its own match, and
touchdowns were made only by su
perior against inferior teams, barring
flukes. The great number of tie games
idl over the country showed the im
possibility to win against a team of
about the same caliber.
The forward pass, this season, can
be made across the goal line, and will
be used as a scoring play almost ex
clusively, as it will not be needed ex
cept when the secondary defence is
bunched up inside the 2- line and
line plunging can not bring home the
required gains. The forward pass was
indiscriminately used the past sea
son, and most games degenerated into j
followed by penalties, punting duels,
and more penalties, with now and then
a flash of interesting football.
The game this fall is to be more on
the oldtimers' order. The end run be
hind fighting interference and the
bunchedup, carrying style of line
plunging will come back.
"Weight is going to count." he says,
"and it will be possible to advance the
ball to first down by straight football
more frequently than last year.

EW YORK, N. Y.. Aug. 29. The
New York state athletic com
mission, which was established
and placed in sole control of boxing in
this state when the sport was legalized
by the Frawley law, will complete its
first year of existence on Sept. 3. A few
days later the boxing commission, as
i: is more commonly known, will file
with Gov. Dix an accounting of its
stewardship.
This report, among other things, will
show the wonderful popularity the
sport has enjoyed during the regimo
or its present governing body. It will
show, too, with facts and figures, that
it has been placed upon a firm busi
ness basis. In fact, the sport has ad
vanced in such a degree that it must
now be regarded as a strictly commer
cial enterprise, one that provides the
state with a steady source of revenue
to aid in reducing the burden of tax
ation. Since the commission was estab
lished, it has granted licenses to hold
boxing exhibitions to 81 clubs in the
Figuring that the SI clubs In the
state averaged one show a week
throughout the year and each club
staged six bouts at every show, the
total number of bouts Jecided would
be more than 25,000. The true fig
ures would probably run over these,
as many of the clubs hold two and
sometimes three shows a week.
This sort of boxing cost Its enthu
siasts Sl.000,000 during- the last 12
months. These figures are the true
ones, as each club is taxed 5 percent
of lib gr ss s-Ue receipts, ami the yield
from that source aggregates 550.000.
This tax is tamed over to the state
and devoted to the maintenance of
charitable institutions. The SpKnnsnns
of the commission are limited to 35000.
which is paid by the state out of the
tax.
Only Two Fatalities.
Only two fatalities were registered
during the year. One of these occurred
at an outlaw club, over which the com
ri'sion had no jurisdiction.
While it Js impossible to obtain fig
ures showing th actual amount of
money invested in boxing in the state,
the commission considers $3,500,000 a
very low estimate. Many of the clubs,
particularly in greater New York, are
under enormous expense. Then there
are not a few organizations which have
erected buildings especially for hold
ing boxing exhib'tlons.
The report which is ill be submitted
to the legislature early next January
will not only show just what ihe com
mission has done during Its existence,
tut will recommend several radical
amendments to the present Jaw. Chief
of these is a proposal to tax the boxing
clubs not according to its gate receipts
but a fixed sum each year. Another
important change advocated is that
limiting the number of boxing clubs
in each town to the population. One
club to about 50,000 population is
deemed the right proportion. This,
however, does not include greater .New
York, where commissioner O'eil
thinks that four clubs could handle the.
fightgoing public.

e Substitutes Are
Big Factor In Baseball
Giants Have a Great Bunch of "Subs" in Groh, Burns,
McCormick, Becker and Others McGraw Has Al
ways Had Good Catchers Develops "Kids" by
Giving Them Plenty, of Chances.
ABLE substitutes have much to do
with making a winner. There
are the New York Giants, for
Instance. They are prepared to make
a change which will leAve their lineup
practically intact if any one of their
regulars is injured.
Early in the season, when Fletcher
was out of the game, and later when
Doyle quit for a time, youngster Groh
took their places and proved himself
practically as good as the regulars, and
the Giants kept on winning. In fact,
they took the lead when Groh was in
the game.
With Merkle out. McGraw stuck
Snodgrass on- first and he played just
as well as Merkle could have per
formed. In the outfield McGraw has a. Dunch
of stars. His regulars last year were
Devore. Murray and Snodgrass. This
year Becker has played quite as much
as Devore. and "Muggsy" is carrying
Burns and McCormick as "subs" also.
Change Against SouthpaiTS.
When the Giants face Collins in the
world's series, which they probably
will do, McGraw will have a different
outer works than when his team faces
Wood.
Muggsy will likely work Becker, who
is a leftnand hitter, but who is strong
against southpaws, in the place of De
voref and he might even give Burns
a ehance. as the "kid" is a rightside
swatter.
For a "sub" catcher, "Muggsy" has
Wilson and Hartley, a youngster. He
is training Hartley now to take 'Chief
Meyers place when the Indian quits.
And Meyers is a wonder for th
Giants. He is one of the most finished
catchers we have ever beheld. Which
reminds us that ever since McGraw
was a manager he has always had fin
ished backstops.
Robinson was bis star in St. Louis
and Baltimore, and Bresnahan, Bow
erman and Meyers have all been doing
wonderful work for him since he took
hold in New York.
McGraw is always propping kids to
take the places of his stars. His
habit of giving the subs a chance when
the regulars have a lead develops the
kids and makes them ready to take
the jobs of the regulars when, any of
them are hurt.

OST of us recall some openfaced
son of the soil who could take
, ,rtT.Tif, oTrt An xjrnnders in a
gymnastic way with it He would get
in a corner of the barn, grasp the cob
In both hands, lean over and stick the
end in the corner and then plant his
feet on the planks and twist his body
(in a bridge) until he had turned com
pletely under his own arms and was
back to his original position.
It was an ungainly, foolish, yap
trick, but it had its virtues, and proved
how easy a thing it is to own a gym
nasium. The man who really wants to exer
cise who IS in earnest about it can
find the means without Threat effort
If he complains that he is too busy to
join some physical layout he can at
lea&t make the raise of a broomstick
and work at home.
The broomstick is not at all bad
when one really wishes to improve.
It presents an endles variety of move
ments rigorous and requiring- dexter
ity and endurance, if one chooses.
Grasped by both hands, it may take
the place of Indian clubs and dumb
bells. No ordinary mortal can jump
through it so held. It may be raised
up and down from, the floor, with
knees stiff and legs together to far
above the head. It may be grasped
with the hands back of one and
w"6rked up, down and sideways.
The. broomstick will get up as good
a sweat as the best running track on
earth. It will develop the wrist, grip,
biceps, forearm, back, chest legs.
While going through these stunts
take long breaths and deep ones on
the down trip, and exhale them slowly
on the return journey. Move slowly,
rhythmically, and with thought and
strength put into action.
One could get along first rate with
no outfit but it doesn't seem so much
like excercise then.
Perspiration is a necessary thing in
any workout; and a bath is essential
after the labor with a brisk rubdown
following the bath.
Ten 0 twenty minutes daily with a
faithful, inexpensive broomstick is
worth money to any man who has no
other means of bettering his physical
toeing. A cane, of course, "will do the
same thing, provided it is large enough
in diameter to permit of a firm grip.
No business man should complain of
lack of facilities. They are on everv
hand. Tha- big thing is the determin
ation not simply getting started, but
in sticking to it
Nature puts all these simple little
things in onr paths, and it is up to us
to take advantage of them. It is worth
tho effort too, because he who goes
into a system of training will reap tl-
harvest in health and happiness. He
will be repaid a thousandfold. If no
other method is convenient, try the
broomstick. That Is always dependable.

A series of "scraps" have been
booked by the Cutter Atheletic club -at
Elephant Butte. N. M., which will be

will be a 10 round heavyweight go

Besides this there will be two pre

he has in his last three games Jake
Stahl may regret before the season
closes having turned the former
knuckle expert over to the White Sox,
even if he is blessed with a quartet
of the best hurlers in the league.
Stahl cut the Frenchman adrift in
July after being convinced he would
prove of little worth to him in the pen
nant struggle. He was being knocked
out of the box regularly at that time,
but Callahan thought he might be of as
sistance to the Chicagoans, who were
hard pressed for slabmen.
The improvement in Cicotte since
changing his uniform has been marke
especially in the last few games. In
the last 27 innings Cicotte has allowed
only 11 hits, for a total of three runs.
An odd case was made against a rail
road when certain baseball fans of
Macon brought suit against the South

blocked the approach to the ball park
for more than two Innings.

Tommy McMillan, tho shortstop star
of Rochester of the International

mier base runner of his leage while
with Rochester, and batted for an
average of .297.
Willie Ritchie, just entering into
prominence in the ring, has adopted
the most up to date tactics in making
centage basis, but demands a fixed I
sum. In doing this he is merely fol-
lowing the lead of the Vcbampions and
others prominent in the sport, and ho
draws attention to the fact that prize
fighting is no more. Boxing is now a
business and a boxer is paid a certain
amount depending on his ability and
prominence, each time he appears.
