SPORTS TERSELY WRITTEN There is a rumor about the Univ sity of ball will soon be abolished. The Re- | gents’ committee, which spent sev- eral days investigating athletic con- ditions at Wisconsin, is reported to have decided that conditions are so bad athletically that the only way to cure the disease is to kill the tient. the board of regents January 18, ana the report is said to be so far formu lated as to threaten seriously the end; of intercollegiate football, a move 2id to be ardently desired in faculty circies of some other “big nine” schools. When the Amateur Athletic Federa- tion stages its annual wrestling cham- pionships in Chicazo next month sev- eral new rules will probab be in force. The method of deciding winners which formerly repended upon rolling falls, will be done away with and the pin fall will be substituted. The wrist lock will he relegated to the scrap heap together with the hammerlock, strangle hold, toe hold and other ille- gal grips. It is a long, long way to Hawalii for national swimming ichampi®ships, but the fact that Kahanamoku is the marvel of all our sprinters and that, besides he has done great things for the glory of American swimming, warrants serious consideration on the part of A, A. U. championship com- mittee, The competition is limited to very few men and the question of ex- pense is, therefore not such a forbid- ding proposition as in case of most sport teams. There are only three or four men from the east and mildle west that have any license to £O winner of the | against Kahanamoku. The chamber of commerce of Mi- | ami, Fla., has offered a silver cup for the proposed outside motor boat race from New York to Miami, to start about February 20, so as to arrive at Biscayne Bay in time for the annual winter motorboat races. Captain Thomas Fleming Day, who is promot- ing this race, has entered the power yacht Lady Baltimore, of Baltimore. The distance covered in this race will be about 1,500 miles and will take about five days. Benny Kauff has thirty-five new bate—pippins, he calys them—and un- limited conceit besides. That may stampede some pitchers, but there are others who are likely to show up this gallus young man. Portland has been dropped out of the Paciflic Coast League circuit. That city will not have a club in the coast league unless the transportation com- panies return to the rates formerly given ball clubs in the coast league. Portland owners will be satisfied with the change, as they will enter the Northwestern circuit, where the salary limit is $1,800 a month, against the $4,500 of the coast league. Purdue undergraduates are antici- pating great things next year on the | cinderpath, when the new track and field coach. C. N. Wilson, assumes charge of the men. Wilson once be- fore headed the track men at Purdue and has been a coach and trainer of athletics for several years. He is cred- ited with developing some of the best athletes that ever represented Purdue. Pitcher Kantlehner, who gives great promise of developing into a star pitcher of the Pittsburgh team, also does other things aside from pitching. | The averages show him to be the best ! hitting pitcher in the older organiza- tion. Jimmy Viox of the Pirates, heark- ening ‘to the advice of Fred Clarke, has bought a farm according to re- ports from Pittsburgh. It is only eight acres, but it is large enough for a chicken run. The new purchase is near Lexington, Ky. Joe Ruddy, the old New York, A. C. swimmer, has a nephew, Tom Ruddy, who is showing much promise as a swimmer. He is a student at Stuyve- sant high school in New York and is doing 1m 3s in the 100-yard event. Columbia has a 250-pound plunger in Morton Levy who has shown sev- enty two feet in recent practice, Most plungers are “whales” though Hurtig, the National champion, is not. Arthur Irwin, the former New York ! American league scout, and Joe Hig- | gins, scout of the Detroit Tigers, are | recruiting a team which will invade Cuba, Porto Rico and Panama. Irwin and Higging are forming a team of | New Yark semi-professional stars, bal- ianced by some major league players. The party chaperoned by Higgins and Irwin will leave New York January 4 and return March 15. The Louisville baseball club of the | American association will do its spring training at Sanford, Fla., next season. According to present plans the team will report in Louisville March 10. The squad will leave on Saturday morning, March 11, and will arrive at | Sanford, Sunday afternoon, March 12, {in time to make their arrangements ' to start preliminary practice on Mon- | day, March 13. They will remain in { I'lorida. until April 5, playing i games at Sanford. Games will be played at Jacksonville and Birming- ham on the way home. Owen Quinn, the former New Lon- don first baseman, who will receive a tryout with the Portland club of the ; Pacific Coast league, will have to fight it out for the first base job with Guisto of St. Mary’s college. Quinn is prob- ably a much better player than Guisto, but it is not known whether he will be able to hit as well in the Coast league as in the New York State.

Schultz, the star southpaw of the | ;Bufieds, This young pitcher jumped | the Yankees in 1914, coming from | Savannah of the South Atlantic league, | tempted by the big money offered by the outlaws. He never had done any- thing startling in a Yankee uniform and Frank Farrell, then owner, did not grieve particularly when he de- parted. It was not until the 1915 campaign was well advanced that Schultz “found himself,” according to Knapp, but once he learned to pitch he was one of the best men on the Federal league roster. His record for the season was twenty-one victories and fourteen defeats and he allowed 2.94 earned runs per game, working 308 2-3 innings. 1 The Cincinnati Reds have released King Lear, the former Princeton pitcher and the famous knuckleball expert, to the*Louisville Colonels of the American association. Lear balks upon going to the Colonels, but if he does pitch next season it will not with any club but Louisville. Charley Weegham, probably coming owner of the Cubs-Whales, the con- solidated Chicago National and Fed- eral league clubs, has made a bet with President Herrman of the Cincin- nati Reds of a suit of clothes and a hat that the opening game at Chi- cago will draw a bigger crowd than | the similar affair at Redland fleld. Thke Cubs will open in Cincinnati on April and the Reds will open the new Cub park the following week. Under the new ownership the Cubs are likely to play to as many people on opening day as they did in all their games in Chicago last season. It is said that Branch Rickey, the retiring manager of the Browns, will abandon the game and devote all his }altenuon to law, going into the office of Judge Williams in St. Louis. R. C. (Dutch) Hoffman, for two years a player with the Jacksonville South Atlantic league team and part of last season with Richmond in the International league, has been named manager of the Durham team of the North Carolina league for next season, succeeding James S. Kelly. Hoffman is an outfielder. FOR WELTERWEIGHT TITLE, . Lewis and Ritchie Head Holiday ‘Week Boxing Bills at the Garden. The holiday fistic attraction for this week is scheduled for Tuesday night at Madison square Garden, when Ted Lewis of England and Willie Ritchie the former American lightweight champion, will clash in a ten-round bout. Both boxers now belong to the welterweight class, although a few months ago they were among the top- notchers of the lightweight division. ‘With their increased weight they will enter the ring weighing close to 142 pounds, and the winner will be gener- ally acknowledged the welterweight champion. Lewis is one of the clev- erest twohanded boxers to invade this country, and is regarded by experts as a wonderfully shifty man. Ritchie has been among the foremost in his class for several years and while he is not as scientific as his opponent he is a harder puncher and will have his hands full in winning from the Britisher. The welterweight class has been neglected of late and it is several years since a boxer of any prominence held the title. Frank Moran and Jim Coffey, the two heavyweights, who will play a re- turn engagement at the Garden on January 7 will be at the ringside, as they will both attend a meeting with Jimmy Johnston, representing the Garden management, for the purpose of depositing $500 each as & guaran- tee to carry out their contracts, IRISH VS.

Although no re- | port of the committee will be made ' until the university reopens in Janu- ary, it is said that the man most prominent on the committee’s list of eligibles is Harry Willlams, coach of the Minnesota eleven. The idea of inviting Williams to return to this Alma Mater to build up a new sys- tem of football coaching is attrac- tive to the committee, and its report turn in that direction in the event that Williams favors the scheme. While many Yale men would like to see Tad Jones at the helm, there is a belief that he lacks experience for a college coach, although he has been successful at Exeter Academy. The committee felt most warmly over the selection of Dr. Al Sharpe of Corncll, | but even the proposal to allow him | to remain another year at Ithaca and | take up his work at Yale in 1917 ! aroused keen opposition among the | Cornell alumni. Shevlin is now regard- | ed as lost to Yale. Another for- | mer head coach favored by some of the commitee, who has declined to be considered, is Jack Owsley, who had charge of Tom Shevlin's eleven in 1905.

He was far from belng | at his best in 1915, as the record | plainly shows, but in his prime he was one of the greatest throwing cat- chers known to the game.

Veteran Athlete Sele_cted to Suce ceed President Page New York, Dec, 27.—Headed by Df, Graeme M. Hammond, who is known almost as well in Europe as he is in this country for his athletic ability, the regular ticket which will be voted upon at the annual election of the New York Athletic club was posted on the bulletin board of the West Fift-ninth street clob house last night, two days beforé the time limit allowed by the constitution. The selections were made by the nominating committe, of whieh Colonel Hugh O’Donoghue is chairs man. Several men whose names were not heretofore connectéd with the election are named on the ticket, which fol- iows: President—Dr. Graeme mond. Vice President—Powhatan Robin- son. Secretary—Fred R. Fortmeyer, (re. appointment.) Two Year Governors—Harry An- derson, Edward J. Benson, George Ji Corbett, Willlam L. Miller, John . Muir, Frank M. Clute, Henry I. Ott- mann, and George T. Montgomery. One Year Governors—Willlam A, Hines and Willlam R. Delehanty. Willlam H, Page, the retiring Presi- dent, has served for three years, and George T. Montgomery, now named on the board of governors, was vice president under Mr. Page. It wag not until James W. Hyde de- cided that he could not accept thé for president that Dr. Hammond was prevailed upon to ac+ cept the position. He had been ap- proached immediately after the nomis nating board wag selected, but at that time he declined to accept, preferring to allow the honor to go to Mr, Hyde. With the declination of the latter, however, Dr. Hammond accepted the nomination. Although the ticket is strong ¥ many respects, club sip indicated last night that there is certain to bé cpposition to some candidates. Jere. wiah T.

Archer, when at his best, not only | threw very accurately to second base, {\ but he was an adept at pickin | ners off first and third His quat i pegging,” as the Chicago critics call- ted it, was deadly in its execution. Ar- cher has the knack of throwing from , every position by a quick snap of his ! hurling wing. Catching the pitched ball while in a squatting position be- hind the bat he can shoot it on a line to first base greatly to the surprise | of the base runner and often to his sudden discomfiture. Few catchers have ever been able to make this play with any degree of accuracy, but Ar- cher is an exception. His ability in this line shows the real merit of a think- ing ball player in comparison with the ordinary mechanical man, who does nothing but the obvious at all times. Not many catchers are sure enough of themselves to try snappy and un- expected throws, but these plays can often turn the tide of victory in a close game. With runners on second ! and third, both of whom move up | every time the ball is pitched, a smart and nervy backstop can very often pick off one of them by a quick throw, | but it is seldom done, mainly because the catcher is not sure enough of himself to try an unexpected play. A bluff to throw to second, followed by | a snap shot to third base, will fre- | quently snare the runner off third, while a bluff throw to third, follow- ed by a sudden throw to second, will almost invariably prove disastrous to | the aggressive runner, put there ave not many who ever attempt the lat- ter play. It is catchers like Kiing | and Archer who have the nerve and | the skill to go through with thesa plays that turn in many a victory for their team, for which the pitcher ori the batter who makes a hit in the pinch gets the credit. TO DISCUSS SOMERS’ AFFAIRS. American League Magnates Will Meet Wednesday at Cleveland. Chicago, Dec. 27.—Another attempt to straighten out the affairs of the Cleveland American league baseball club will be made at a special ‘meet- ing of league magnates at Cleve- land Wednesday. Announcement of | the meeting was made yesterday at | Chicago by B. B. Johnson, president of the league, who will leave Chicago for Cleveland tomorrow night. Mr. Johnson, the individual owners, Charles Somers, owner the Cleveland club, and the Clev land bankers, will be at the meeting and the league president said he | hoped that an arrangement could be | made with the banks, in whése hands Somers' stock has been for !ome‘ time, whereby Somers could resume his place at the head of the club. club of | MORAN ANXIOUS TO FIGHT Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 27.—Frank Moran, heavyweight prize fighter, spent Christmas at his home in this city.

Since 1883 Dr. Hammond has beeh a member of the New York A, C., and for thirty-seven years he has been &, siccessful competitor in various' branches of sport. He has won cham- plonships in running, jumping, bicy- cling, rowing, and fencing, and at the present time 1s president of the Amateur Fencers' League of America, Dr. Hammond has not recently com- peted in his favorite sport, fencing. He virtuaily retired from active com= petition after the Olympic games in Stockholm in 1912, when he was# § member of the unsuccessful Americam team. Dr. Hammond accompanied Robert M, Thompson, president of / the American Olympic committee, to Stockhold in 1912 as personal phy- sician to the veteran sportsman. The probable successor of President Page will in all likelihood have no opposition, for he is suitable to almost ¢very member of the club. He is favored, for one reason, for his gen- cral interest in athletics, for there is now among the club members a de- sire for increased activity in athletic competitions. Dr. Hammond is known as an able business man, and, combining this quality with his Tove of sports, the members look to hin for an idea! regime. 1T WILL BE FULTON, Chicago, 111, Dec. 27.—Tom Jones, manager of Jess Willard, tonight as- sureda Mike Collins, manager of Fred, Fulton, that regardless of what the New Orleans promoters do, Will will take on no other opponent un he has boxed Fulton.
