GDFFkOTH 'OTHERS ALSO ATTACKED San Franciscan Avers That No Kind of Boxing: Is Preferable to Llnr ited - Hound, Xo Dominion Fights ag in Eat. BT HAP.8T B. SMITH. PAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13. (Spe cial.) Jimmy Coffrotli, premier tight promoter in California in the- days or long ago, started a ruction in fight circles a few days ago. when he came out with an assertion relative to the 13-round boxing game. Coffroth, didn't minoe hi word.". He sDoke hia niece in no uncertain style. and. when the Eastern promoter read what he has to say there's bound to he more or less kicking. "There was never a 10-round bout in Philadelphia of any Importance that was absolutely on the level." said Cof froth. "and I doubt if there are many matches In New York or Milwaukee of anr class that are not 'arranged. Coffroth declares that if necessary he could substantiate his statement with correspondence from gome of the lead- ins: lirhts In the fistic world. The pro. moter insists that he isn't particularly anxious to befoul his own nest, but that if it is a, case of telling the truth, he could sar nothinir else. His views were elicited in a general discussion of the boxing situation in lie state and the probability or rather the lack of probability of a return to the. old conditions. Coffroth, as has been said before, does not believe In le-round bouts and admits that he would far rather see no boxing at all than limited-round encounters with no decisions. He feels that such a sport would kill off nghtinjr Just as surely as no fighting at all and he prefers to face the situation souarely. It is an open secret that receipts have dropped off to a remarkable extent in the Kastern ana Jrliuaie esiern cen tera and that is unquestionably due to the general falling olf in interest tnat has been shown. When there are so many bouts with the champion losing the papular verdict and still holding; close to nis title, mere is bound to be a disgust on the part of random. That is why, unquestionably. Coffroth baa seen fit to come out In the open and score the 10-round game. Willie Ritchie spent a couple of days tn San Francisco this week on his way East. He was considering accepting another week of vaudeville work in the Xorthwest. but at the last moment de clined. The theatrical people were willing to pay him his price for a week each in Portlaud and Seattle, but he declared that would interfere with his training. Naturally, his vaudeville work has reduced him considerably in poundage, but he needs a lot of boxing to put him in the best of condition for the bout that is to come. If Hitchie can't make a decent showing against Welsh, he might as well be prepared to quit the frame for good. On the other band, if he does work well with the present title holder, he will have a renewed life and plenty of coin ahead of him. Amateur Athletic ITnion officials have given up as a bad job the task of handling the four-round contests in San Francisco. In the last two or three shows, boxers have applied for regis tration and have received recognition at the hands of the Pacific Association officials. There has been any amount of trou ble, however. The boxers have thought absolutely nothing of assuming ficti tious names and some of the clubs have neglected to have judges to assist in handing out decisions. , Indeed, had the situation proceeded, it would have resulted in nothing more than making a donkey out of the Pa t iiic Association. Some of the amateurs In charge have realized this fact and have finally given notice that such boxers in the future will not be reg istered. One of the Supervisors has suggested that there should be regulation in the of a SuDervlsorial ordinance that will license and hedge about the game. Something of that sort probably will follow. A month before the Jeffries-Johnson finht in Reno, the papers of this coun trv were falling over onewanother to give space to the big match. Down in .luarex is Jess Wlllard preparing for a match with Jack Johnson, but aside from an occasional notice that creeps Into the papers, you wouldn't know there was anything happening. The promoters are making good that old adage. "You may lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." In short, "the public refuses to accept the match seriously. Tromoter Jack Curley tried to make a big thing of the Johnson-Flynn bout. One would think the experience would have taught him a lesson, but appar nitly not. Hector MrKenzie, oldtime friend of Jim Jeffries, says that Jeffries is to p. nd a couple of weeks in the Willard amp tutoring the white man and help ing along his chances. One doesn't wih to be sarcastic, but after the way Johnson licked Jeffries, it is hard to figure where Jeffries is to be regarded as a good coach. SPKCIAI.

Ath letes in Southern California colleges who take money in one sport are barred from college teams only in that branch Of athletics; they are still eligible for any other of the college teams. This was the rule adopted today by the executive committee of the Southern California Intercollegiate Conference. The Summer baseball problem is thus solved for Southern California col legians, as the athlete playing pro fessional baseball in Summer is only disqualified from the varsity baseball squad. He can still play football or appear on the track. Athletes engaged in playground work are not professionalized in any sport.

Martin Watson Explains Stance, Grip for Club, Position of Body and Swing, as It Should Be Carried Through. BY J. MARTIN WATSON, Professional, "Waverly Country Club. No. 3. The Mashie. T has often been said that driving Is an art, approaching a science, and putting an inspiration. My reference to putting reminds me of one old-time golfer who said, "There should .be no such r; thing as good put- for the better you . f play with the mashie the less is left for the putter to do, and for this let us be truly thankful. What more pitiful spec tacle to watch than a good player wield his club faultlessly f w-J till he comes with In three feet of the hole, then go to KJ. Martin Watson. pieces. Playing with Nat Goodwin, the actor, one day, he missed a short putt on the last green, and, turning to me, said: "Watson, the only thing wrong with this game is that the holes are too d d small." Not to digress further, let me go back to this fascinating and versatile club, the mashie. This club, is terribly abused at times and used for distances for which it was neither built nor in tended. Some people even brag of the length they can get with the mashie. I would advise a beginner to use his club for distances no longer than 100 yards. Regulate your distance by the length of your back swing. The closer you come to the hole the shorter the back swing. This makes an even, propor tionate stroke and one which can be the more easily regulated. The first stroke to learn is the pitch and run, so let the position for this shot be considered. The player should stand closer to the ball than usual, which should be about opposite the left heel. The left foot should be pointing out wards, while the right, which should be a few inches in front of the left foot, should be square to the line of play, making the stand decidedly open. Have the feet closer together than in the longer shots, and here I may say something of interest. The shorter the shot the closer together colne the feet. Having adjusted the stand, grip the club firmly in the fingers holding the hands well down towards the knees, which in their turn should be thor oughly relaxed, for they are used con siderably tn this stroke and should be left free for action. ' Position Is Explained. Now take the club head back princi pally with the wrists, allowing the body to pivot slightly from the hips, thjs will at once bring the left shoul der round parallel to the ground, while the left knee will naturally bend and assume its proper position. During this action the right knee has stiffened and your club should now be in a per pendicular position if the wrists and forearms have completed their work. Now examine your position. If your left heel is off the ground, it is wrong, .for you must not raise the heels for this shot, but keep them glued to the ground and the head immovable. Ex amine plate No. 7 and you will see ex actly what I mean. I played this shot If ' " Clnb. Mating fehoti F. W. Chauffe, r'2 arte, and it will not be long before the OF MASHIE at a mark 100 yards away and came within three feet of it. The downward stroke consists of two varieties. You can strike the ball be fore the club head has reached the bot torn of the arc it is describing or after it has done so, but for iron shots it is safer and better to take the Dan on the down swing, as it is called; this results in a little turf being taken, The chief reason why women do not get distance with their irons is that they hit on the, up swing and just pop the- ball into the air. Now start the club down with the arms and wrists firm and come into the ball with a right good will. It must be struck almost viciously and sent off to its destination knowing something had struck it. Plate No. 10 shows position of hands and arms in strikine. I hit quickly and the camera was caught napping and does not show the club. At my point the left arm is straight and quib taut, while the right hand has taken the club square onto the ball. In flnishlne I have not turned my arms over, but allowed the club to go straight towards the hole witn tne face uppermost. Had the distance been trreater. my arms would have been turned over and the follow through been approximately longer. The plates are lessons without words. They will tell you more in a glance than I can In a paragraph. So here are a f,ew reminders to help the tyro solve the mystery of the mashie. Reminders Are Listed. Grip the club firmly in the fingars. adopt the open stand with ball about opposite the left heel. Keep the knees flexible, the heels glued to the ground throughout tho stroke and the head still till the ball has left the club. Plate No. 11 is a fine example of the latter suggestion. On the back swing bend the left arm as little as possible, keeping it close to the chest, while the wrists, also firm, must turn to allow club to be pointed skywards. Bring the club down vig orously, taking the ball away before the club reaches the bottom of the swing. Take the club straight through towards the hole and finish with it face uppermost. I do not say this is the only way to play the ordinary mashje shot, but I think it the most general one and do not hesitate to offer it to any normal beginner. It must be understood that when making tne actual strone xntre is no pause at the top ofthe swing all the actions described must blend to gether into a harmonious whole. It Is a gradual increase of speed from the moment the club head leaves the ball, the club to be traveling at its highest velocity when it takes the ball away. A clever English golfer tells a bright story of the critical acumen of the caddie. He had Just finished a rather unfortunate morning on the Westward-Ho links when he happened to overhear another boy ask hia cad die the question: "Who was you a-play- ing against?" "So-ana-o," replied xne caddie. "Oh," said the other, "I sup Dose you beat 'ee?" "No." replied the caddie, "us didn't; 'ee beat we; us putted like a bloomin' monkey."

SOME COACH OLD TEAMS Dad" King Still Hopes to Make Aggie Team In Sixth Season of Fighting Chicago Runner En ters in 3 7 Races and Wins. BT U-NO-ME. Every institution has had hard-working athletes who have given from three to four, and in rare instances six or seven years' time on the scrub teams and have gone without reward. Tney have been good scrubs and have taken all the knocks of the varsity, the jeers of the students, and the wrath of the unfeeling coach. "Dad" King, at Oregon Agricultural College, fought hopelessly for five sea. sons to make the football team and he will put in another season before giv ing up hope. California, in the days " when she played civilized football, had a player who played on the scrubs seven years and they gave him his "C." Carpenter, a long-distance runner at Chicago, ran in 37 races before he won his "C." A mile Tunner at Iowa competed in every meet Iowa had for four years. He needed to win only a third place in the state meet to win an "I," and the week before the state meet in his senior year he broke the Iowa record in an interclass meet. He was con ceded first place by all dope experts. He came in seventh in a race many seconds slower than his record. He smiled a wan ITttle smile, rolled up his suit, and found solace in a "little town." Some of our greatest coaches were forced to paes through trying ordeals before becoming famous. .Tohn nriim. of Iowa, the first Hawk- eye to run a hundred In 0:9 4-5, couldn't make a class team for two years. "Speedy" Rush, of Grinneli College, was so clumsy and slow that the stu dents dubbed him "Speedy." He sneaked off to the back stretch and practiced alone for weeks. "Speedy" became the to or .nntit.r Inwa ever develoned. , hi nior year. 1897, he won the 50, 100, 220 and 440 yards In tne state meets. He equaled the world's records In the first two. ran the 220 in 0:214-5 and walked home In the 440. Ho won both the 100 and 220 yards at i;nicago In the Big Nine meet the following Saturday. He then entered Princeton and for two years represented "uia Nassau." He holds the Princeton rec ord for the 100 yards at 0:9 4-5. Two weeks ago he was selected as head football coach at Princeton. Dan McGugln, the Vanderbilt coach, was a Joke at Drake University for three seasons and barely made the team the fourth. He then went to Michigan and played on the 1902-03 teams the best that Michigan ever had. For 10 years he has developed teams that have won the championship of the South and played Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Tale on even terms. So green was Ban tnat, wnen one oay the hovs told him that they were go ing to play a game out at the fair grounds and wanted him to play, he put on his suit and walked out a dis tance of five miles. He didn't have a dime so had to walk. He finally "tum bled." and footsore and weary, dragged himself back to his room. Ztirpke. of Illinois, was a puny scrub at Wisconsin, but 10 years later re turned to the campus as coach of Illi nois and walloped "Alma Mater" and won the championship of the Big Nine. It pays to "stick to it." PIRATES RELEASE THREE MEX One or Trio, Pitcher Thomas Quig- lejr, rnconditionally Dropped. PITTSBURG, Feb. 13.
