"Who is the next mitt champion to
tie knocked off the championship
pedestal?"
That was the question spilled a few
days ago and it provided plenty of food
for gossip. The fans began wondering
what was going to happen to other
titleholders just as soon as Jack Demp
eey took the crown away from Jess
Willard at Toledo on July 4, and they
are still talking along these lines.
Some followers of the fistic game
are brash, enough to make the state
ment that they believe the year 1919
will go down in ring history as one in
which more champions have been de
throned than any other. It seems that
Dempsey's defeat of Willard has
started the ball rolling and when one
considers the length of time that sev
eral of the other titleholders have
stood at the top in their classes there
seems to be reason for this argument.
However, reason doesn't always work
out. At least it doesn't hold any more
than the dope at times, in pugilism.
Take the champions one by one and
try to figure out their possibilities of
defeat. In the middleweight class,
Mike Gibbons of St. Paul, who has been
on top for years, stands out as superior
to his challengers. Mike hasn't been
doing much fistically for a long time,
principally because he's met and beaten
most all of the other middles.
Mike Going Abroad.
Mike, with his brother Tommy, is
roing to Europe to exhibit shortly, but
those who know Mike Gibbons' skill
can't figure where any of the scrappers
on the other side have any great chance
of beating him.
Jack Britton. the old Chicago boy
who now makes New York his home,
is acknowledged as the leader of the
welterweights. He got that recogni
tion when he knocked out Ted Lewis,
the Britisher, with whom he had fought
no less than 17 times. Britton is a
regular little grandpa of the- welter
weights, fro he is 37 years old.
Age is popularly supposed to be a
handicap to a fighting man, but in the
case of Britton it doesn't seem to work,
for when a scrapper at 37 can knock
out a fellow 24 years old, who is pos
sessed of the class of Ted Lewis, it is
some performance. Britton is a master
of cleverness and that is why he stands
at the top today. In time, of course,
age is going to slow up his speed and
cleverness and then, like many fighters
of the past, he will be easy picking for
some youthful opponent.
Britton Still Supreme.
Just when he is going to slow up
cannot be told, but it is doubtful if
Britton will lose his honors this year,
especially against the welterweights
now operating. In addition to Lewis,
there are Bryan Downey of Columbus,
Ohio; Jock Malone of St- Paul, Johnny
Griffiths of Akron, and Johnny Till
man of St. Paul, leading others of the
lesser class as chasers for the title in
this division.
A hard one to figure out is how
Benny Leonard, lightweight titleholder,
is going to be knocked out of the cham
pionship. Benny is one of the greatest
fighters this division . ever knew. He
is so good that he does not hesitate to
give away weight and battle the fel
lows in the welterweight class. He's
fought these bigger boys' and held his
own in nice shape. He has trimmed
the most promising of his rivals in his
own class with the exception of a
couple Charley White and Joe Well
ing. Leonard Loflka Good.
At present Leonard is matched to try
conclusions with Welling, but if this
mill were figured on dope it would
be all in favor of. the champion. As
for White, he seems unable to land a
match with Benny; but if he did the
chances would favor Leonard by long
odds, just as they do Leonard versus
Welling.
Featherweight Champion Johnny Kil
bane has led the list so long that he
seems to own the title. He hasn't been
overbusy in recent months and few
boys of real class have developed.
Perhaps the best of the recent develop
ments is Benny Valger. Benny at the
present time is hounding Johnny for a
match. If he gets it it seems certain
that the betting would favor the Cleve
land titleholder.
That brings it down to the bantams.
Pete Herman is the kingpin of this
brigade, but those supposed to know
what they are talking about are noisy
in stating their opinion that Pete isn't
the classy champion bantam that others
before him were. Herman is a mighty
tough boy to beat. He may not be a
hard kid to outpoint, but when it comes
to knocking him out that is another
matter.
Joe Lynch, the New Yorker, recently
was credited with a shade victory over
Pete, and there are a few others who
might achieve the same result, includ
ing Pal Moore and Jack Sharkey, but
in these days it doesn't damage a
champ to be outpointed.
NOTRE SAME AFTER TRIP
Successful Football Season Means
Journey for College.
NOTRE DAME, Ind., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Notre Dame has an additional
incentive to spur its football team to
great efforts this season. Providing
the gold and blue eleven makes a good
showing through a particularly hard
schedule plans are being made for it to
play the University of California on
Christmas day or New Year's day in
California. Negotiations have been
opened by Knute K. Rockne, athletic
director, and Andy Smith, coach, for
such a contest. If the game is ar
ranged it will mean that Notre Dame
will have three long trips this season.
The eleven is scheduled to play the
cadets at West Point on November 8
and to meet Nebraska at Lincoln, Neb.,
on October 18.
Efforts to arrange a game between
Notre Dame and California were made
last season, but were abandoned when
most of the gold and blue's players
entered different branches of the serv
ice as soon as the regular schedule was
completed. Possibilities of a game on
the coast this fall recall the trip made
by Notre Dame in 131. , when its eleven
played in Austin and Houston, Texas.
Football Practice Under Way.
WASHINGTON, Pa., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Washington and Jefferson's foot
ball practice got under way this week
with prospects brighter than they have
been for many years. While the nuc
leus of old players is not exceptionally
large, it presents a sufficient number of
Veterans to give the team stability and
steady down the youngsters, many of
whom have come up from the prepara
tory schools with exceptional reputa-tipns.

CLEVELAND, O- Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Stanley Coveleski may be a
great little "Speaker" in a baseball
sense, but as an elocutionist he is as
convincing as a tongue-tied auc
tioneer. He claims he is paid for
shooting fast ones and not funny
ones, thereby making it very diffi
cult to extract as much as one in
teresting sentence from him in an
interview.
But the records prove he earns all
that Mr. Speaker slips him. At the
present stage of the battle he stands
the fourth best pitcher in the Amer
ican league. This only includes the
regular moundmen, with Cicotte,
Williams and Dauss out ahead of
him.
He has climbed the mount 33 times
this year, making Cleveland a pres
ent of 18 victories and obtaining a
pitching average of .667. Although

he has taken the Dempsey treat
ment in several recent engagements,
Coveleski is feared by the best of
sluggers and his consistent wins
have done much to keep the Indians
well up in the advanced zone.
He has had his back to an umpire
Bince 1908, when he started to twirl
in the Atlantic league. Following a
good year he spent three seasons in
the Tri-State league and then Joined
the Athletics in 1912. This was Con-.
nie Mark's odd year, in between two
pennants, and Coveleski ohly worked
in five scattered games.
A change of climate, or uniform,
or something, was ordered by Dr.
McGllllcuddy and Stanley took the
long trip to Spokane, Wash. After
two good years he went to Portland
in 1915 and wound up the season on
a 50-50 basis won 17 and lost a
similar quota.
Then came his permanent debut
in the majors, when he donned the
war paint of the Cleveland Redskins.
Starting with an average of .551 in
1916, he has Improved the mark each
succeeding year and has every
chance of banging up a new one for
1919.
His best performance was eight
wins In a row last season, which
stood as an American league record
until this year, when Bob Shawkey
picked off ten in a row for the New
York Yanks.
II. OF G. HOLDS GIG RALLY
ANDY SMITH OUTLINES PLAX
FOR GRIDIROX WORK.
Short but Snappy Practice Will Be
TTsed to Round Material Into
Championship Form.
BERKELEY, Cal., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Interclass football contests have
been shoved into the background with
the opening of intercollegiate practice
on the University of California oval.
To start the season with an appropriate
send-off a mammoth sign-up rally was
held in California hall Monday after
noon. Coach Andy Smith, who will again
head the strategic board this year, out
lined his plans for whipping the Bruin
fighting machine into trim, to more
than 200 enthusiastic aspirants. He
announced practice would begin at once
and plans to have every candidate on
the field at 4:15 P. M. every day.
On account of the climatic conditions
on this coast, which make too much
work injurious, the workouts will last
until 6:05 P. M., allowing only an hour
and three-quarters daily. By this play
Coach Smith says he hopes to eliminate
all the drudgery, that the men at the
same time will have ample time to
learn, and that fast workouts filling
the entire session will condition the
men perfectly without wearing them
out.
It is the varsity's hope this year to
land the New Year's day date at Pasa
dena as the culmination of a successful
season and thus represent the west in
the big inter-sectional contest that is
annually staged there.

STCDEXTS RECEIVE PERMIS
SION FOR OUTSIDE GAMES.
Da j dodgers and Dorm Factions Are
Busy Rustling Material for
Gridiron Campaign.
For the first time in the history of
Reed college athletics a football team
will be allowed to compete with out
side teams. It is true that Reed played
outside games last year under the S. A.
T. C, but this is the first time the
college is formally permitted to do- so.
President Foster of Reed announces,
however, that the school is not chang
ing its non-intercollegiate ruling. He
states that games may be arranged
with other teams provided the admis
sion Is free; that no expense be placed
on the student body or college and
that no time is lost from classes. Since
Wednesday afternoons are left free for
athletic games no difficulty will be
met on that score. Added interest is
felt because ot the new ruling.
Dormitory football practice started
with a lot of snap at the college, when
20 pigskin warriors answered the call
due course of time, as the columns will be
open to all alike, whether champion or nov
ice, and the rest in between. There is a
valuable article in this first copy by O. B.

Coach Glaze Busy at Golden on
Promising Football Material.
GOLDEN', Colo.. Sept. 20. Coach
Ralph Glaze of the Colorado school of
mines has his football squad well
started on its early season training.
Glaz is "getting the Jump" on other
elevens in the Rocky Mountain con
ference this year by several weeks.
It is felt at the Mines that Glaze has
the remnant of a championship team
to work on. Mines stock rose several
points during- the week with the an
nouncement that Chester Pittser. full
back for the last two years, will return
to finish his education. Pittser has the
reputation of making the going hard
for opposing linesmen, can punt well
and exercises good head work.

Jockey Club on Point of Taking
Steps to Bar Half-Breed From
All Turf Classics.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Hisrhbrowism
does get a terrific Jolt occasionally.
Over in Knirland recently the members
of the Enclish Jockey club, that exclu
sive organization that directs the des
tiny of the running horse game and
those who are in it received a regula
tion size kayo wallop when Irish Ele
gance, a horse without pride of ances
try, won the Royal Hunt cup at the
Royal Ascot from a field of runninn
horse blue bloods. Irish Klepance not
only showed his heels to the highbrow
field, but he carried top weight of 137
pounds, making his performance all the
more brilliant.
The English Jockey club some years
ago ruled that no horse unable to trace
its ancestry to at least the third gen
eration could be registered in the Mud
books of the organization. At the time
the rule was adopted it was stated
there was a movement on to better the
thoroughbreds of England. It was at
tacked by some leading horsemen who
charged it was adopted to make the
business of breeding thoroughbreds in
teresting only to the rich.
Since the rule was put into operation
many profound students of breeding
have come to the fore in Great Britain.
These scientific gentlemen have been
asked why they did not bar half-bred
horses from entering contests, to which
asked why they did not bar half-breed
could not compare with the thorough
bred. It was a problem that would
take care of itself, they said.
Irish Elegance is without the ances
try required by the English Jockey
club, but he was picked up and devel
oped because of his great natural
speed. When he- was entered in the
Royal Hunt cup event the followers of
scientific breeding smiled knowingly.
Many of them declared it was a waste
of money to enter a half-breed against
so many youngsters of aristocratic
breeding.
But when the contest was completed
there was a different story and now
it is uumored the Jockey club will take
another step against the half-breed by
barring them from all turf classics anil
perhaps from all events. Irish Ele
gance was the peer of his field from
the time he left the barrier. Nothing is
known of Irish Elegance as far as
breeding is concerned, although he is
thought to be at least a half-breed, be
cause of his stylish conformation.
