Grlflth's popularity isn't confined to

As a manager he Is highly , airrres-

that appellation.

got his start on the sand lots there, and
early in his career as a player he
learned much of his stock of baseball
knowledge from Charley Radbourne,
who was a Bloomington product.
Started With White Sox
His entry into major league mana
gerial ranks came In 1901, when he fol
lowed Charley Comiskey as manager
of the White Sox. From Chicago he
came to New York to lead the Yankees,
but he was not in his element here, and
he soon declhed to quit and accept the
leadership of the Cincinnati Reds. From
Cincinnati he moved on to Washington
as part owner of the club and he has
been successful in proportion to the
class of talent with which he has had
to work.
Griffith is noted as the first manager

K.TEW YORK. April 13. (U. P.) The
' trials and tribulations of Colonel Jo
seph C. Miller, who is promoting the
heavyweight championship mill between
Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, are not
trials and tribulations at all. "
Colonel Miller, a quiet and easy-going
individual, declared In a recent talk
that he was having more fun out of the
business than anything he had ever at
tempted. "Why, I'm just natchelly enjoyln' my
self." he chuckled. "I've had some of
the furiniest offers you ever heard of.
And I had one of the funniest experi
ences you could even think of when I
first came to New York.
' "I'm Alearnln' Fast"
"Seems 'at these fellows in this town
thought maybe I'd just stick my head in
the air and begin wonderin' whether I'd
be kind enough to let em pull off this
championship bout. But I been here be
fore once or twice. I aln t ezzackiy
city broke yet. but I'm alearnln fast.
Why, I even had my show In Madison
Square Garden. And It was good enough
to come back. I understand London
thought pretty will, o' my little circus.
"Course, I don't know nothln' about
this fight game, but I'm plckin' It up by
degrees by just sittln' here In this big
chair and listenin'.e
"When I gat off the train In New
York- a man rushed up to me,, shook
hands with me and immediately slapped
down $130,000 for the fight. Looked
like he had the real goods, but It only
took 15 minutes for him to hang his-
self. I let him go along for a few days
and then I told him to quit abotherin'
me. I told him he ought to get busy
with a vaudeville agency and cash the
advertisin' he had worked me for. But
he was a persistent cuss and kept after
me. Finally I had to shoo him off by
askin' him to put up a check for $10,
000 as a kind of a guarantee that, he
meant business. He rushed out of my
room to use a telephone, and when he
came pack he said it was all off au
thorities wouldn't stand for it, and all
that kind o' stuff.
Saw But Two Fights
Never saw but two fights in my life.
Outside o' Jack Johnson and Frank
Moran, never knew Jess WUlard had a
fight. Told this to a newspaper man
and he went out and bought me a. lit
tie red book that had all the records in
it. Didn't know there was such a book.
But I been astudyln' it, an' I'm plckin'
up some. Mebbe .before this thing's over
I'll be fit to talk about it. I dunno.
Some folks say Fulton and Willard
ought to be afightin' In France 'stead o'
runnin around and gettln' ready for this
big mill I'm goin" to pull off. Well.
they may be vright. but I reckon they
ought to criticise some of the others
before they start In here. They's a lot

HUNTER HAMMERSLY MAKES MOUNTAIN TRIP
"Varmints" Killing Stock
Gold Hill, Or.. April 13. John B.
Hammersly, the government hunter
of t'mpqua mountains fame, lias re
turned to his old home in Gold Hill
after an absence of a number of
months In the Puget Sound country.
Last August on the eve of an-ex- .
tended trip - to the southwestern j
states, after, having served in the
.TJmpq.ua. mountains as government ,
hunter for three years, he was .so
licited by E. E. Averlll of Pendleton
of : the government bureau for -the .
eradication of predatory animals in
Oregon - and Washington, to go to
the Olympic mountains. Accepting
tha offer he .left Gold Hill with his
auto, accompanied by his pack of
trained hounds to capture the moun
tain lions, which were reported to
be slaughtering the game and stock
in the foothills of the Olympics.
The hunter reports that after
leaving here, he arrived at Port
Angeles early in September. After
cruising the Klwau rivftr district.
where he found but little game in
the isolated districts, he returned.
to the . settlements and engaged
horse-packers to take him to the
head waters of the Dungeness river.
Set Ouf in October
Bidding his escorts adieu early in
October, and accompanied by his
dogs, without compass and blankets,
and with 60 pounds of flour, coffee.
Dacon ana crackiins for his dogs,
a canvas cover of blanket size, and
his gun strapped on his back, tho
hunter struck out into the tangled
wooded wilds to cross tho Olympic
mountains. - After an uneventful
journey of 10 days he arrived at
Seclum, a small place on the shores
of Puget Sound.
In all that Vast wilderness tha .
hunter trod, it waa destitute and
void of the mark of man, where in
former times vast herds of elk and
deer roamed unmolested, save by
the wild beast of the forest. He
noticed but few signs of animal life.
But two deer were seeivon the trip.
His dogs treed two bear, which he
did not kill, and the only animal he
did kill 'on the trip was a ground
hog. He found the mountain
streams bountifully supplied with
trout, which he hooked in large num
bers, and boiled for his dogs, it be
ing their principal food on the trip
When asked about the game and
"varmint" problem in the Olympic
reserve the hunter said, "But few of
either remain. The timber wolf and
panther have eradicated the elk and
deer to such an extent in the iso
lated parts of the mountains that
what few are left have fled to the
settled districts in the foothills, to
escape their pursuers. They are be
ing slaughtered by the hunters, who
are ignorant of the fact that the
game are making their last stand.
The scarcity of the game has caused
the predatory animals to prey upon
the stock in the settlements, and un
less the "varmints" are destroyed
- and the game fully protected from
the hunter's gun. deer and elk are
doomed to extinction In that
region."

NEW YORK. April J J, U. P.) The
rise and fall and rise again of tae
heavyweight boxing class from the days
of John ju. Sullivan up to the present
haa been an interesting process, and of
fers a study of the effect of. public opin
ion seldom met with in the fight game.
Before Sullivan established himself as
a world's champion fighters of . all
classes were left alone to do pretty much
as they pleased. Sullivan changed the
bloody part of It when he gave up the
London Prise Ring rules in favor of the
more gentle Marquis of Queensbury code.
Corbett Lost to Fits
The popularity of Sullivan made It
possible for a heavyweight champion to
capitalise his fighting ability, and. aa
ugniera oecama more ana more Known,
their methods Improved. Jim Corbett
was of an entirely different type than
Sullivan, but undoubtedly a' moat effec
tive man at his particular style of fight
ing. Aside from whipping Sullivan his
record Is a very commonplace thing,
for. when he won the world's champion
ship he fell Into a period of Inaction that
caused his defeat on his next appearance
against a good man Bob Fitzslmmona.
Fitsslmmons waa recognised as the
most marvelous fighter the world had
seen, for, weighing much less than
heavyweight waa supposed to weigh, he
managed to win the world's title from
the towering Corbett.
Size Goes Upwards
Then the size of heavyweights began
to go upward, taletng In Jeffries, John
son and Willard, the hugest of them all.
Fighting ability went back after Jef
fries surrendered the title, for Jack
jonnson, Doxer though he was, never
held any great mark of respect from his
fellow men for his fighting and punching
ability.
Jess Willard's achievements have been
nothing. lie has never yet proven him
self a real champion. When Jeffries laid
down the crown, such a howl was raised
over the battle at Reno that it actually
affected the ranks of the heavyweights.
Not a single high class man haa ap
peared before the public since Jeffries.
with the exception of Fred Fulton and
Jack Dempsey.
Here appears to be the upward move
ment of the heavyweights again.

Most landsmen think that any sailor
could race a duck in the water and nose
him out at the finish. Walter Camp, who
haa been doing a lot of training of the
embryo sailors, haa discovered that just
about half of the boys who are wearing
the loose pants and the pancake hata
would be "spurlos versenkt" If they feU
overboard. Mrr' Camp, who is the gen
eral director of navy athletics, has de

must learn to swim. Mr. Camp say that
a aailor who does not know how to

that come under htm. are going to learn
to paddle thetr own canoe if they happen
to be knocked overboard.
