'orthspur will b a very useful bors
for Cox this year.
Ills faith In th San Francisco fam
lly. however, is founded on th stub
born battles which St. Frisco put up
during th past two years with Mabel
Trask and what Lu Princeton did for
blrn last season. Cox purchased Lu
Princeton early la IMS. lie waa ellgt
ble to th I. is class, and bad nothing
to show for a turf career but a good
pedigree and a victory In I seven-beat
race at Hockport. O. wher he won
third heat In 2:17'.. a sixth heal In
I lOK, and th seventh in !-04.
La Princeton's first trip through th
Grand Circuit waa almost a blank. Out
of ten atarta between Kalamazoo and
Atlanta b only finished at ond once,
and had on heat In 2:09 V to his
credit. That beat was won over Lake
wood Park at Atlanta In bis rac with
Asora Axworthy.
Cox also says that be would not have
won It If th colored boys on th bluff
near th three-quarter pole had not
frichtened him with their (mitation
rebel yells. This waa th same yell
tbat scared Tb Keal Lady and caused
her to lose a rac to Mary Coburn. In
other words, what waa poison for the
Moko filly proved th making of Lu
Princeton, aa when Barton Pardee
wanted to send him to tb auctions.
Cox persuaded him to give the white
fced bors another chance. Th re-
tarns for 1S17 also show that be made
good.
In hla first start at Cleveland In
July he was unplaced to Royal Mac,
but from that date he was either out
la front or tapping at th door. After
finishing second to Early Dreams at
Detroit and Royal Mac at K.ilamaioo
be won alx races oft the reel at Co

Poughkeepsl and Syracuse. At th
Columbus Fall meeting Lu Princeton
forced Early Dreams out In 1:04 m in
both of th racea which ha won, while
be also won two races at Lexington.
and was again second to t'arly Dreams
at Atlanta, wher he won two heats In

UNCLE SAM HAS NO USE FOR
QUITTER IN RING OR TRENCH
Marine Who Shows White Feather in Boxing Match Incurs Displeasure of
Major Who Witnesses Fight.
BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. There Is
no room la any one of Uncle Sam's
subdivisions of the Army and Navy
for a quitter. So much was exempli
fied th other night on Mare Island,
and It goes not only for the marines,
but for soldiers and sailors aa well.
Eddie Marino, well known as a
Northwestern boxer, now a member of
the Marines and boxing instructor at
Mar Island, tells the story of. what
happened to a "slacker" in the boxing
ranks. Eddie was staging a four-round
ahow. One of the interested spectators
waa Major Small, one of the officers in
charge of th marines.
He saw a boxer, who was also a
marine and la a marine, quit cold.
Orctinarily that would end such a
matter. But not so with Major Small.
He sent for Marino.
"Did that boxer . quit?" he asked.
point blank.
"Yes," asknowledged Marino. "That's
just what he did."
"Send him to me." was the response
from the Major. "I will see that he is
punished. We have no room In the
Marine Corps for quitters. Boys wl
hav to learn to stand the gaff whe
they are boxing, just the same as whe
they are fighting over there."
All the more power to Major Small
He has the right idea. If a boxer
doesn't make good as a boxer the
chances are mighty strong: that he will
not make good as a fighter for bis
country. And the place to check that
sort of thing is in this country, an
right where the boys are being trained
foe service.
Other officers would do well to fol
low the course mapped out by thl
Major of marines. Boxing is partially
to clve our soldiers the lighting spirit.
And If they are going to show th
white feather for a gentle tap now and
then, the sooner we know it the better
we will be off.
W have had two Army boxing In
structors In our midst th i last week.
Both, as It happens, are members of
the Olympic Club. One is Willie Ritchie
former lightweight champion, who is
here from- Camp Lewis to attend to
some of his personal business affairs,
and the other la Bob McAllister, who
has been at home on a furlough from
Camp Funston. Tex.
From McAllister we learn that there
Is no chance for boxing instructors to
make the trip to France. McAllister
was anxious to make the trip, but was
advised by Dr. Raycroft that It could
not be arranged. The boxing teacnera
are going to be needed in the canton
ments to whip the new soldier lads into
shape. And there will beMlttle occa
sion when the men reach France for
boxing lessons, for there will be plenty
to entertain the lads who are delving
In the trenches or stopping Oerman
rushes.
When McAllister found that he could
not set across the Atlantic he tried
to arrange It to be ordered to Camp
Fremont. But once more he ran up
against a snag-. Unless there are good
and aufflctent reasons for a change it
Is not the plan to switch the boxing
tutors.. and particularly they will not
be tranaferred ao as to be close at
home.
Some of the Eastern papers talked of
McAllister signing for a match with
Jack Dempeey. But McAllister says
there Is nothing to the talk, and that
he intends to stick by his Army work
until such time aa the United States
does not further require his services.
e e
Willie Ritchie brings the news that
he may box Packy McFarland In an
Oakland ring. The bout of course
would be to raise funds for soldier
sporting equipment, such as gloves and
the like, or for the Red Cross. Before
he came home Ritchie was asked by
wtr whether he would assist Oakland
in arransing for a big bout In the event
of McFarland agreeing. And Ritchie
la willing- to do his share if It flu In
with the wishes of his superior officers
at Camp Lewis.
He told the -writer that it Is alto
gether np to the commanding General,
and that he will be glad to go on
through with tb scheme if everything
Is adjusted.
It would certainly be a big drawing
card. Neither of the boys is an old
man and both of them ought to be fair
ly fit in consequence of the work they
hav son through. They could easily
pack the Oakland Auditorium and It
would mean many a dollar for the good
of the service.
see
So far w San Franciscans haven't
become very excited over the pros
pects of a Fulton-WUlard match. In
deed, ever since they took away long
distance fights from us we hav re
fused to take the fight game seriously.
Spider Kelly, who never missed a
heavyweight championship, wllL of
course, be on hand. Jack Welsh, who
refereed the Wlllard-Johnson match, is
still another who' avers that he will be
a spectator, whether officially so or
not.
But outside of these two dyed-ln-the-wool
fans and perhaps a half dozen
others who may crop up. we are not
going to be stirred to any great
depths. So far there is no fanning on
the subject. But possibly that will
come later.

and Servians at Wilkeson, a coal min

SCRAP BOOKS CHEER SICK
Welcome Gifts Received by Library
at Camp Kearny.
CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego, Cal.,
April 6. A large number of scrap
books, embracing a wide variety of
subjects in pictures, rhyme and brief
story, have been received at the Camp
Kearny library for distribution among
patients at the base hospital who are
too weak for the mental exertion of
reading long stories or books.
The books are the contribution of a
Chicago newspaper and a number of
Chicago citizens. Some of them, though
made of clippings from magazines and
newspapers, are beautiful.
