Which He Himself Fever Had a Claim To. BY MILES J. BURKE. Joe Gans is the real candy kid these days, a nice little black Santa Claus. Surelv he must have thought Tuesday, Christmas or birthday of Joe Thomas.

Now Thomas is a mighty nice boy. Somewhat previous and mayhan in. spired, enthusiasts are projecting an International sacker football contest between England and America to take From coast to coast Thomas has the reiiutation of being a level headed. clean-cut athlete who never talks fight place next year. For, no doubt, the dollars that may be in it.

Unquestionably with a socker football game. Col. Mulhall will not take the chance of Invidious comparison by putting his bronchos and busters on with a Rug-' game. They would make a very tame appearance. Indeed.

A gentleman writes asking "Who la the biggest man In sport about St. Louis." It Js awkward tt an American team, however must be as compared, to proper English teams they have been playing the game one way or another for 500 vear ana unaer set rules for 50. where WD fellows of fruitful experience, striving for positions, the simplest way of solving the situation wouid seem to be to allow the men in real scrimmage to prove who were the superiors and entitled to regular positions, and even then to have the incessant spur of uncer-ttfnty arising from their insecure tenure of their positions to goad them on to brilliant play. Perhaps Oochems has already thoroughlv sized up his charges and picked his regulars and does not wish to run the chance that always lurks in scrimmage work of injuring his stars.

Oochems luid personally been sending iiis back Held through' a series of open field work, in which the forward pass played tho most important part. Hare, the Wisconsin man, was at his best, and tlie plays he tried, and the points he emphasized, simplv could not be improved upon. The idea he has of an interference formation for 'he man receiving the pass, if carried out in actual i lay as successfully as in practice, win result in stronger teams than Cape Girardeau having 59 points airainst them.

Crediting Thomas with all of this, there seems no reason for Gans in his anxiety to show his appreciation of Thomas to give to the latter something that he himself did not own. Gans, or more probably, his press agent, announced in Milwaukee Tuesday that he.

Gans, was through with the welter weight class and that his title of welter weight champion goes to Thomas. Where, when and how did Gans ever become welter weight champion? The nearest he ever came to the title was when Gans boxed 20 rounds to a draw with Joe the welter weight champion. The men met at Frisco on Sent. 20. 1904.

From that time on G-ans slipped down the scale and was considered a charter member of the down and out club until he knocked out Mike Twin Sullivan at Frisco, and followed this up by winning Perhaps it may be all right to this game now. Sometimes the ht manner of learning is to go against the real thing, get voura with something more under vour that you went in with. No donht These Gentlemen Are Interested in Ambitious Plan to Bring Off Great Bowling Congress in St. Louis. The National Bowung Tournament of America will be held in St.

Louis March 1 to 31. It is now estimated that 335 five-men teams. 7G0 two-men teams and 1400 individuals will compete for the in casii prizes in addition to the championship medals and trophies. The ly respectable team can be chosen In America which can go to Europe and make a good showina-. Yet I believe it would be If the practice of St.

Louis University Tuesday afternoon may be taken as an exemplification of system Oochems certainly has a novel scheme, for the development of his team, with a line that will average 15 pounds to the man overweight, and naturally Inclined to be slow, with nearly a dozen men fighting for the five center positions, and th second most important game of the year' schedule but 10 days off, one would naturally suppose that the squad, and especially the line men, would be given the hardest kind of a workout. What ther actually did was this: The eleven candidates for the line wtre formed Into a team. and. with Capt. Kinney in charge, were run up and down the field for about 15 minutes; as the men worked zealously, two or three rests were afforded them durins this time.

After this, with the rest of the squad, they formed a single line and took, turns falling on the ball, picking It up on the roll and catching it. then had Kinney, and Murphy practice catching punts, every second or third kick sent the whole squad down with ball. No tackling was to lie attempted. The practice closed for the evening, with the regular line-up surrounded by the subs walking through s-lgnal. the last few minutes they ran throu2h.

Cocheius 1 Wise. But don't imagine Coohems didn't fully appreciate what he was doing, nor be without a reason for it. Perhaps it really is the best way to train an eleven results will only show. The unique phase of all this is that it is so far out of harmony and opposed to whatever i since the birth of rugby, has always been considered tho successful way to develop a winning team. With a score of candidates trying for positions, the custom has been simply to allow them to fight it out in "actual play, and the resulting combination has been merely the survival of the fittest.

Since I saw the Englishmen play at Sporstman's Park last year, and give a very taking exhibition against a weak team, I have been firmly of the opinion that, at no very distant date, we shall beat them at their own game of foot- Nevertheless, Gans won. To his credit it must be stated he did not crow over his victory. He declared Nelson a forward pass artists Robinson and Schneider in front of the big score hoard in center field, and having them actually pitch 'he oval, much after Ted Kenneddy's baseball idea, at certain marked spots on the board. The ac-euraey exhibited by those men in throwing the trill was simply marvelous, and if some of tho Ivistern critics who are ecu ted opposed to the baseball throw for the forward pass could see this pair execute the play it is certain they would change th'-ir views.

Special to The Post-Dispatch. PKINCETON, X. Oct. 21. Spurred on and encouraged by 11 old grad coaches, the Princeton varsity was put through the hardest practice of the' year on Tuesday.

In the preliminarv practice special attention was given the ends in getting down the Held under punts and in blocking their opponents. MoCormick and Tenney did the kicking for this, and both kicked high and got good distances. Then the varsity was lined up against a very strong scrub and two 15-minute halves were played. The game was fast and rough and kept the spectators cheering with enthusiasm. The first team played straight football and played it well.

Rouse O'Brien of Boston was given a present by the referee at the Lincoln Athletic Club last night, when that official declared the O'Brien-Matty Baldwin bout a draw at the end of the 15 rounds. From the tap of the gong Baldwin had It on O'Brien.

Time and again he landed on the face and head and body of the South Boston man, and nothing but the latter's gameness and recuperative power enabled him to last the distance. It was the boxer against the fighter, but the boxer never had a show. When he did land a blow there was little or no steam behind it. During many rounds Baldwin had O'Brien at the corner of "Queer street," but the latter by dogged perseverance and bull strength lasted until the bell saved him. roalm, and ail men were his courtiers.
