Former Coach, Now in National Army, Shows Old Time Pep in Drilling Schoolboys. Tuesday the Academy team had its most epirited practice session of the season. Eddie McKay, who coached the championship team of last year, and is now a sergeant in the national army at Camp Devens, was on hand, and he proved a wonder when it came to putting the old-time fighting spirit into the youngsters. The squad was one of the largest of the season and with the first team in- fleld and first and eecond string out- fields on the main field, there were still enough men to have a couple of scrub teams in back of the backstop. Coach Sullivan was assisted by Seedy Jackson, who knocked to the infield, and Ha Young, who did the catching. Ray Counihan being off for the after- noon on a little secret service work. Tim Sullivan devoted his attention to the outfiglds McKay put most of his time on the infield, ‘which is of championship cali- ‘bre, and will become a dead line for the other teams on the schedule.

Murphy, it went in a body to visit President Roosevelt at his summer home in Oyster Bay. ‘When Mike Murphy approached the Colonel Roosevelt gave Mike the glad hand. “Mike,” he said, “there are just two Mikes in the worli—you and Mike Donovan.” That was a mighty fine compliment to pay both Mikes and the one pres- ent showed his pleasure by grinning from ear to ear. Boxing, much maligned because it is associated all too readily with prize fizghting, is coming into its own in the army, where the training is especially valuable in teaching a man how to ndle himself in a scrap. Best of all it helps the infantrymen and machine gunners, because these boys. who are to use the bayonet, find the principles o|of the two games analogous. But the | army bo: g game is not to be mis- understood: it is not to be confused with prize fighting. Indeed, there is a marked difference which one who has seen b games “as they are played will vough for, The big thing about army moxing— that is the kind of boxing in which the men meet in 4he ring for a deeis- ion—is the fact that it's about the manliest sport one ever witnessed. And the old prize-fighter is in it with the same spirit with which everyone se enters it. One may see two fel- lows representine different organiza- tions fighting before a crowd—the size of which must make the eves of the boxing promoter jealous with envy— ith nothing more at 'stake than a mythical title, but with so much vim and pep in every move as Mike Dono- van ever gave to the game in his life. Talk about patriotism, these prize fighters of vesterday, now in the army, bave as much of it as the cleanest o| amateur that ever lived. Think I'm kidding. eh? Well the day this article was written a prize fighter who has been up against the best of them in the old days. a fellow who has fought " proposition. * he said, “I'm in fine shape for a fight and I wish you would get me one. 1 don’t want anything out of it. T'll turn the whole thing over to any fund that needs it but I'q liké to buy boxing gloves with whatever we can get to help the other fellows in_this game.” Now if that isn't patriotism Pm at a loss to know just what patriotism is! Also. if that isn’t a complete revo- lution from prize ring ethics 1 must be wrong. As it's human to err, in this case I'm pretty sure I'm inhu- man. When you want to see real serap- ping go to an army bout, right in camp where there is nothing at stake {but an intangible thing like the spirit of one organization pitted against that of another. They go to it with a vim and they get results from start to fin- ish, Brutal, did you say? Well, man, you must remember that these boys have a big job ahead of them. Got to clean up this Kaiser crowd, and gioves don't go. Furthermore, if you think it bru- tal, just remember that the boys who do it have a lot of fun: it isn't all confined to the spectators, either. Here's an example: Two of them were whaling each other with walloping blows and a black-haired, boy, who had more strength than skill and whose olive skin suggested sunny Italy, was get- ting the worst of it. Down he went once and back he came on the re- |bound. Down he went the second time |from a blow that turned him: clear around and sent his face over the edge of the rine into mine. It was an odd face, for it showed little trace of the pounding he had Dbeen getting. It was covered with a broad grin. Its-eyes sought mine with frank familiarity. and from that grin spranz these worc “I think I'm getting a licking, all right” He was, but scarcely were the words out of his mouth than he arose to take it. He was game. They all are. No wonder generals and colonels _say words of praise about the boxers. They are there to the end, and they are owing others what good old Ameri- can nerve is. The army is having its innings at baseball, too. “Everybody is doing it” as the saying goes. But the best ar- my story about baseball was in con- neetion with the loss of quite a lot of the Clark Griffith baseball equip- ment which had started abroad.
