tic phenomenon are popping up all
orer the country and hurling chal
lenges at Jack Johnson right and left
since he defeated Jeff. Some of them
hare done but little boxing, but figure
that owing to their great strength and
build they would be a match for the col
ored man. Of course no one who knows
anything about boxing will consider
for one minute that Johnson will pay
any heed to the challenges of these
fellows.
Two college athletes, one from the
University of Michigan, the other of
Harvard, are among the white men
who bare hopes of winning back the
heavrwetaht boxing title for the white
race. ;!""' : ' ' . '
These men are Albert Benbrook of
the Michigan college and Sari Van

the Cambridge seat of learning for, two
years. , .
Among the bunch of ambitious men
who are willing to risk their future
health in a battle with Johnson are
Frank Smith, the Chicago White Sox
pitcher, and Larry McLean, the Cin
cinnati catcher. These men are on rec
ord as being willing to fight the cham
pion. They are fine athletes and some

With six of last year's team bark
this year, and what new nterlal
there is, the local high school should
have a strong football team thin year.
Last Tear's Men Will be Back.
, Those who played in the last year's
team and who .will b back this year,
are: Joe Ingle, last year's captain;
Vera Bean, last year's star center;
"Jlmmie" Irwin, quarter; Tom Wil

iamson, guard; Fred Grout, guaid;
Boy Rice, end.
Fine New Material '
There is plenty of raw material in
scnooi to nil up tne vancancies lert
In last year's team. Hal Bohnenkamp,
who showed up so w elllast year, will
be back and try to wrest the center
position from Bean. Great things are
expected of "Bill" this year. Fritz
Lottes is expected to develop into' a
fast back. He has speed and the beef
and all he needs Is the experience.
Cecil Bolton is also out after a po
sition in the back field. Bolton (show
ed up Btrong last year but was kept
out of the game the latter part of the
season on account of the injuries re
ceived in the game with Enterprise.
Raymond Bylstone, who played con
sistent ball on the second team last
year, Is expected to develop lnti a
star tackle.
Other new ones that are going in t"
win are Lee Reynold, Russel Rals
ton, George Currey, and Will Rush.
New Men Expected.
Vern Rhinehart of Summervl!', is
expected to be in Bchool this fall. He
is a big fellow and will be a wel
come addition to the line.
Wendell and Ray Oliver, who piav
ed good ball with Pendleton Academy
last year, are expected to be in school
this fall. Wendell Is an excellent
punter and as La Grande is shv ou
punters, ne win be or great va u.
Ray is an aggressive tackle and vtll
strengthen the line considerably.
With such splendid material, there

Chicago Appears Strongest In Na
tional League.
With the major league baseball sea-j
son half over It begins to look very
much as if neither winner of last year
will repeat. It is too early to make
any predictions, for there Is ample
time for a general shifting of the posi
tions held by the teams in the Na
tlonal and American league before
Oct. 15, but on the form shown so far!
by Detroit and Pittsburg it looks as
though some other club would fly the
banner In each, league this year.
Uughey Jennings has not given up
hope of landing his fourth pennant for
Detroit, and as the Tigers have had a
reputation of making a strong finish
ever since Jennings . took ; charge of
them this team must not be counted
but of all chances for the champion-
not look like the team that has. won
the pennant three times in succession.
The Tigers spurted and made up a lot
of ground lost in the first two or three
weeks of the season, but they have
fallen back again, and It will take an
unusual reversal of form to bring
them to the fore.
Detroit does not play with the dash
and spirit which characterized its
work last year and the year previous.
Jennings works just as hard and still
has all the old fire and spirit, but his
team lads the speed on the bases, the
terrific slugging and that spirit of con
fidence whlrh made the Tlpers a team
to be feared at any stage of the game.

flk'Uthic another, and these two fellows
had better stick to their chosen 'profes

Lookiug over the Ions list of men
who desire to oppose Johnson lu the
ring, he finds that there are only two
who stand any chance of getting on a
match with the champion, and they
are Sam Lnngford and Al Kaufmnu.
There ,are many experts who believe
that the former would stand an excel
lent chance of defeating Johnson
should the pair ever meet. In fai t, he
is the only man at this moment who Is
fitted physically and scientifically to
meet the champion In a twenty-four
foot ring. Lnngford Is conceded to he
the most formidable bitter and quick
est finisher known to the ring since
Robert Fltxslnimons freckled mauleys
became so brittle he was afraid to
take a punch at even an Inflated bag.
Although Langford would concede
forty pound In weleht and almost five
Inches In height, which would seem to
be an Insurmountable handicap, yet
be Is willing to go Into the ring with
the big Galveston fighter. As Johnson
also would have n great advantage in
reach and Lansford Is not proof
against a left luuul Juk it can ho seen
that the smaller man. would le llkelv

BALL TEAM GOING TO JAPAN.
Chicago University Boys to Takt Long
Trip to Play Brown Men.
. The alumni and undergraduate body
of Chicago university are looking for
ward to the long baseball trip planned
for the Maroon nine. Some time ago
the Waseda university of Tokyo, Japan,
sent a challengo to the Chicagoans for
a series of baseball games to be played
in the orient. It has been announced
that the board of culture and athletics
at a meeting to reconsider the proposi
tion decided to accept the challenge.
It is further announced that the men'
who will make the trip will practice
regularly during the summer months
in order to be In fit condition and will
attend classes so as to be eligible for
lue next spring season.
The challenge calls for a series of
five games, but it is thought that when
the Maroon uine is In the land of Nip-
H-pon other games will be arranged with
Japanese universities. The departure
will be made about Sept. 15, and the
athletes will not return until after Jan.
1 of next year. Last year the Uni
versity of Wisconsin baseball team
played a scries of games in Japan, this
being the longest baseball trip ever at

the Maroon team in all probability will
eclipse even that made by the Badgers.
