In the West and South the high and prep pre p5cho psc schools 5cho sc hools ls as well as as the universities contract with a professional coach If he proves satisfactory he Is usually of fered a

he has had in hand for some time Follow System It does not follow that every college with a professional coach will win championships All good players do donot not make successful coaches but I

Saratoga Stewards By MANHATTAN NEW YORK YORK Aug 26 GThe The main topic to pic of discussion among New York boxing enthusiasts cn husla5ts at present is of course co urse the coming BrittNelson contest Both men men have thousands thousands of admirers in Father Knickerbockers town and that th at there will be be plenty of betting sup port for the champion and the man from fr om Hegewisch goes without saying As a personal friend of both the pugi lists li sts and as one who desires to be most impartial i to them man and man alike I shall sot down here my personal perso al opin ions io ns as to the outcome of the forthcom ing in battle for supremacy First of all I will say that I think Nelson elson is an underrated man ma nas as I be bee liege there are many man of Britt Brltts friends who ho count his coming com1n antagonist alto gether ether too cheaply Nelson Is one of the greatest fighters that ever ver stepped into i nto an arena He can take a world of punishment and still come on and de de liver telling blows as If i he had Just left his dressing room While it Is conceded that Britt is equally equals a a wonderful pugi list he has nearly always fought In his is own city where the referees his personal friends were no strangers to the fact that as Britt was the champion it was up to the other man to make tho th better showing Nelson elson Was Robbed I I believe that the last contest between Britt ritt and Nelson should have been de clared ared da a draw I was led to this con con clusion by the Information given to me by my friends who sat by the ringside during that memorable encounter They toll me that really Nelson eIson was the ag gressor ressor all during the contest and that I at times It seemed as If Nelson elson Would noor his man with a clean knock out blow low Basing my my opinion on the assurances of wellposted ring followers who Jour neyed eyed all the way to Frisco to see the mill and who watched carefully every move made by Nelson and Britt In their last ast bout I will say that I expect Nelson to win the coming contest contest cont st I fully be be lieve he will go 0 into the contest in the pink ink of condition and that he will beat the champion at his own game that of boxing diplomatically and keeping cool ool as he waits for a chance to send In a punitive blow Queer Betting There Is one queer thing about the side ide bets put up by both men that has not as yet et been explained Nelson wagered 10000 10000 with Britt that he Nel son would win Now if Nelson had not bet this money moneon on even terms with wit Britt Britt he could have hav waited until a few days da before the fight and then most 1 11ike like ike ly he would get about 12500 12500 against his money instead of 510000 10000 The odds will be about 4 to 5 several days before the bout and It can be seen that Nelson elson has apparently given himself the worst I of It on the side bet by about 2soo 2500 Why Vh Nelson elson should put up his 10000 10 against an equal amount wagered by the champion Is a puzzler to me and an I can only excuse Nejsons action on the ground that as he was so eager for fo a return match he let his haste get the th better of his judgment I look to see Nelson elson win In about twentyeight tvent elght or thirty rounds He will certainly certain ly be right there with Britt until unt ii after the twentieth round and after that It seems to me It will only be a question as to who Is the th the more rugg rugged ed fighter Praise for Stewards One of the best events of the week in the racing world was the ruling ruUn oftj on I the turf at Saratoga Sarato of Jockey 1ocke Baird Bair and His ls manager Nicholson The latter is more to be blamed than the boy 00 for fo the erratic Jockeyship jocke shlp of Baird and It i is good ood to realize that the stewards in i their punishment meted cut to both offenders especially noted that they the hold 1d Nicholson more culpable than the th jockey jockc It is certain a a serious case was made out against again Nicholson as the th stewards used the words wor ruled off In In I his case It Is rarely rareI the case that turf jobbers are so emphatically denounced by rac ing officials The penalty visited upon upo the conv convicted icted manager means that his hI place is outside the gates of even rep utable racing association assoclatton In this or or any an i Fo lks The bes be apprecia appreC finest Drin Dri rn Case of your ho shaped i Arlington I West129 West I29 other country countr where reciprocity clprocJt exist exist Nicholsons worst offense was in claim I INlcholsons pretenses Ing la an apprentice allowance under false These reprehensible actions are aremoet mot flagrant violations of turf deportment as every eve horse ridden by a a Jockey under a false showing is liable to be disquali I fied where the apprentice allowance was claimed It Is too late now to un do the crooked work of Nicholson owing to the time limit for such things Had any anyone one discovered Nicholsons cholsons offense some time ago demurrers would hav have been een filed that would have tangled up the result of a number num er of great race races and caused trouble to thousands of turf speculators specuJat r8 Concernin CQnceming Spit Ball Talk about the origin of the spit ball is again being Indulged In by fans an Sal professional baseball players The moat Interest at present concerning this most elusive of throws surrounds the secret of how to properly proJ erJy deliver the spit pitch itch Jack Chesbro has imparted i ed his ideas on the best way to use the spit plt delivery in a the following The Thepitcher pitcher must take the ball In hl right hand handthat that is if he should be a righthanded rIghtban ded ed artist artistand and then molstea molst his hisflnre fingers a a bit Then he should look closely closel at the batsman and draw heel back his arm arm and put all his might in the throw It Is best to aim a little lower ower than with other throws If these th direc dons are observed It is safe to say that no strike will be secured secured and If the bat ter should luckily hit the ball In most cases it will turn out to be a foul ouleas1Iy easily caught by the man tlanbehInd behind Far fronx fro being an an exploded theory the spit spit ball so far as most pitchers are concerned is In Its Infancy If all the big league Iea pitchers used the spit throw exclu ezcluy sively there would be mighty few hits hJ seen on the diamonds Reviving Polo I A number of the leading millionaires nt Saratoga have formed an orgmIZ3 tlon
