HEA7IES BETTER
NOW THAN DURING
MORRIS OUTCROP
It Is Now Up to the Big Fellows
to Keep the Game
Going.
New York, March 23. There is a bet
ter class of heavyweights now before
the fans' gaze than at any time since
Jim -Jeffries was champion.
At no time since Jeffries dropped out
of sight through the application of one
of Jack Johnson's uppercuts has there
been such an effective crop of white
heavies. The run of Carl Morrises and
such has been dropped. A period of ex
ceptional men seems to be on.
Fred Fulton was the first exceptional
man to appear in the heavyweight class'
since Luther McCarty lost his life In a
bout with Arthur Pelkey. And Just as
Fulton's star reached a crest of fame.
along came Jack Dempsey, a party who
still is sticking up there as one of the
best.
The crop of heavyweights who blos
somed out with the appearance of Carl
Morris is gradually receding. They are
now known as second-raters, not white
hopes. Their ability now lies in assimi
lation of punishment from the rising
youngsters who seem likely to dominate
the big class of men for some time.
An uplift of the game through heavy
weight channels is the thing for which
pugilism has been suffering for a long
time. Little fellows can fight, do their
best just as long as they can, but the
real life of boxing lies in the heavy'
weights. If they fail to produce good
bouts at every stage of the game and
at all times, the game suffers. It is up
to them to keep alive interest and to
keep the game clean.
Since John L. Sullivan put life and
dollars in the business of fighting as a
heavyweight there have been few cham-
Dions. but then years ago there was
sufficient keen competition to keep the
heavyweights busy and the game up.
May be it will be lifted back by the
time means.

or at least a big majority of them,
will carry fewer players than hereto
fore. Fifteen or sixteen men will be
the average limit, with the manager,
the club secretary and the scribes.
Players who have lolled in lower
berths in other years will have to clam
ber into uppers this summer, and some
of the left-handed writers are wonder
ing how it will feel to sleep on the roof
of a Pullman.
Two catchers, four or five pitchers,
four infielders, three outfielders and
a utility player will be the personnel
of the average club on the road. If
one of the regulars is Injured the man
ager will get along as best he can until
he can wire back home for another man.
Instead of carrying werr-rilled steamer
trunks the players will have to be con
tent with a fireproof suit case. Several
firms are manufacturing uniform cases
of light steel. Street cars, instead of
taxicabs, will be the rule, and owing
to the activities of Herbert Hoover the
champion grub destroyers In the big
league will find themselves facing war
time menus.
While a majority of the club owners
expect little or no trouble in making
road trips, travel will undoubtedly be
slower. After "a season . of it If the
managers find that, they can get along

reduction in player limits.

YALE MIND GOES
BACK TO HALCYON
DAYS OF VICTORY
Alumni Weekly Recalls Day
When Blue Waved in Athletic
Triumph.
It is somewhat significant that the
Tale Alumni Weekly in a recent issue
should have harked back to the halcyon
days of her athletic glory. The thought
that produced the reminiscences un
doubtedly contemplated with sadness
the role the Blue has been taking In
athletics recently, and the added fact
that Tale's leadership In the collegiate
world had passed, never to be regained.
In the old days New Haven was the
Potsdam of the college athletic councils
and the Blue's warriors the Prussians in
intercollegiate competition. Careful
training, a well-devised system, hard
work and harmony in the staff were ail
contributing causes to, the monotony of
victories over narvara ana rruiceioo
in the '90s. It was almost the same ot
gridiron, diamond, track and water
the Blue waved triumphant and su
preme. ' Occasionally there was a hiatus in
these - victories of. -Tale's golden age.
A Poe (Edgar Allen), a Trenchard and
Cochran at Princeton would break the
chain of -victories, or a Cummock, Dib
bles and 'Campbell would arise .out of
Cambridge . and lead an unbeatable
eleven against the New Haven phalanx.
But these we're the exceptions that
proved the rule of Tale's title to ath
letic leadership won in the days before
the writer, who now adverts to them,
was born, if he is an undergraduate.
