ATHLETE HISTORY DON'T REPEAT Big Fellow Was Out, Idle and Drank Too Leng, Was Some- what Overrated in th First Place. A noted athletic trainer who is one of the best posted authorities on physical cultuse says: t makes no difference whether a man s a rumner, jumper, fighter, ball ‘player or a participant in any other branch of sports;, if he stops training for three or four years he can never regain his best form. 1In all my experience I have never seen an exception to this rule.” Taking this opinion as & basis for argu- ment, there are many pugliistio experts who are figuring out just now whether James J. Jeffries can “come back” so that he will beat the negro, Jack Johnson, down and out. Willlam A. Brady and William Delaney, former managers of Jeff- rles, have been insisting for many months that he is foolish to tackle Johnson and will suffer defeat. Murphy declares that Jeffries, having passed nearly five years in \dleness, can never show the same speed and stamina that won for him the title ot world's chammgion. Brady stated to The Sun man the night that Johnson and Jack O'Brien boxed six rounds in Phila- Qelphia early last summer that Jeff's wind was gone and that even If the boilermaker | reduced himself to 2% pounds, his best fighting welght, he would find it & physi- oal impossibility to fight more than ten rounds at top speed with the formidable colored man. Delancy also declared at that time his bellef that Jeffries would be an easy mark for such a clumsy young slugger as Kaufman, and wanted to bet $10,000 on the side If a match could be arranged between them. St1ll Jert Says He Ca | “In spite of these opinions and predic- tions, however, Jeffries says he knows he can be the safe old champion oncs more and is telling his friends that he will beat Johnson easily. One of the oldest ring followers in this country, who is not pre- Judiced, but generally says what he thinks about pugilists and thelr doigs, and who has seen Jeffries in all of his ring battles, talked in this interesting way the other night: “There is no man who admires Jeffries more than 1, so that 1 do not want to be accused of knocking. But, really, I feel convinced that {f Jeffries and Johnson meet in the ring the negro will win. In the first place, Jeffries, while recognized as an unbeaten champion, is not & truly great tighter and I'll show you the reason. When Delaney first byought him to New. York I was among those who met him at the Vanderbilt hotel directly after he had left the cars. It was a hot night and Jeff kad on very thin clothing. When asked to get on th: scales he tipped the beam at exactly 26 pounds. He was 28 years old then and was in robust health. He was pitted against Bob Armatrong, & big nesro, in a ten-round bout at the Lenox Athletic club In order to show New Yorkers what he could do and when that affair was over Jeft was fairly laughed out of town. He was as slow as cold molasses, knew noth- ing about ring science and was actually outpainted by Armstrong, although the Iatter got the worst of the referee's de. clsion. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEM BER 7, 1909, by public clamer and desgernte chances. ' X a4 Drank. Joffries, according to associates in Cali- fornia, not only neglected physical exer- clse during his long layoff but also drank steadily. Fe did not imbibe to excess, but 8t the same time he denied himself nothing. He did not refuse a glass of wine or a highball when invited to join his friends, nefther did he refrain from treat- ing them “on the house.” Living In this manner Jeffries took on flesh, until a year ago, according 'to reliable information, he welghed 289 pounds. He seldom in- dulged in running or long distance walks and went for months at a time without putting on the gloves. He was hog fat and short of wind when he began “train- Ing"” last March, and even his best friends did not belleve that he could recover any- thing like his old form. Jeffries, however, went about the task of reducing himself In the proper way. He began dafly exercise gradually. He changed his method of living radically. He cut out liquor, selected his meals carefully, got into the habit of sleeping nine hours each night and by means of limited road work and light exeroise he managed to woik off the fat slowly but surely. As he stands to- day Jeffries, as far as outward appearances %0, looks as well trained and as rugged as in the days of conquest. He says he feels strong and able to stand a hard fight. In boxing with a partner he seems to step around with the same agility that made Corbett pronounce him “the fastest man of his welght and inches in the world.” He seeris to be able to punch with the old power and he certainly knows as much about ring tactics as he ever did Admits He Lacks Wind. But Jeffries will admit privately that his chief fault is a lack of wind. He appears to tire quickly after a few vigorous rounds and puffs like a grampus. Yet he says that when real hard tralning begins this defect will be easily remedied. He knows that Johnson's defense will prolong the fight and for that reason he says that he must have enough stamina to go the route with the negro. Jeff has a host of supporters who believe that he will “‘come back” and put Johnson away. One of them in pre- dicting the outcome of the mill said re- cently. “Johnson has never beaten a first class man. In Burns and Ketchel he beat a pair ot midgets who are just good middle- weights. When he meets Jeff he'll have a man before him in the ring who Is taller and heavier, also stronger, a harder hitter and more game. Johnson will find it imposible to throw Jeff around in the clinches and to hurt him to any great extent with his punches. Jeff on the other hand can hit hard enough to put Johnson out in jig time if he gets an opening. The bollermaker is not a fool, and if he thought for an instant that he could not whip Johnson he wouldn't fight him. Jeffries has taken his own time about reducing his bulk and he intends to do & lot of hard iraining before he enters the ring. He doesn't think much of John- son anyway and Is going ahead with per- fect confidence. He lsn't worrying about his welght. He is light enough now to fight any man. But it's his wind that s bothering him. A few months in the moun- tains of California will fix that all right, and then you'll see the same old Jeff, big and strong, with a punch that will put an end to this controversy.' Some Athletes Who tailed. “Looking back through sporting history one can find many instances of athletes who falled to “come back.” John L.

IREVIEW OF COLE SEASON Year of Surprises on the Big Ameri- can Links. ARMY OF PLAYERS OVER 500,000 of Game Materially | ed by the Advoemey it | Has Recelved from Pre | dent Taft, NEW YORK, Nov. 6.~Now that the golf- ing season of tournaments and sectional champlonships ix over, it may be interest- ing briefly to review the events of the| season. It has been a year of surprises in American golf. and aside from the return | of Walter I Travis to the metropolitan | title new holders have been secured for all | other titles. At the opening of the season of 1908 It was conservatively estimated that the American golfing army had reached the | 400,00 mark. Thanks to the increased popularity of the game, with President Willlam H. Taft as an enthusiastic advo- | cate, it is now figured that there are at| least from 560,000 to 600,00 players in the country. The victory of Robert A. Gardner over | Walter J. Travis and H. Chandler Bgan in the amateur champlonship at Wheaton in September, sufficient in itself to demon- strate that the title was won by absolute merit, brings a new name into the long list of. holders of that coveted title. The visit of Miss Dorothy Campbell, the British women's amateur champlon, who at Merlon beat the cream of our American | women players for the champlonship title, while unsatisfactory from the standpoint of having the title leave the country, was reassuring In respect to the fact that it | showed that our women are fast approach- ing the highest standards abroad The victory of George Sargent of the open champlonship at Englewood with Tom McNsmara from Boston, a homebred, second, and Alec Smith third, was decidedly popular in bringing new men into the lime- light of fame. Sargent has not been so| successful in his subsequent match play en- | gagements as either Doc Smith of Willle Anderson, but well deserved his laurels by his grand golf at Englewood. On the other side of the pond J. H Taylor won his fourth open champlonship at Deal, closely followed by lames Braid, also a four-time winner, and Tom Ball, tled for second place. Ball subsequently in the News of the World professional tournament won tirst henors, owing to the | defeats of other famous English stars such | as Braid, Taylor, Vardou and Herd. The British amateur championship, won by Robert Maxwell at Muirfield by one up In the final round at thirty-six holes over Captain Hutchinson, was prineipally nota- ble from the American standpoint through the defeat of Jerome D. Travers, our then American champion, in the very first round. Walter J. Travis, during the early part of the season, was playing better golf than at any time in his career. as was shown in his record scores in the Metropolitan championship in the final round against Herreshioff, when he made a seventy-one at Apawamis. At Wheaton, in the cham- plonship, Mr. Travis was never at home on the rough green, where those accus- tomed to the conditions used mid-irons Ipstead of putters, Jerome D. Travers, amateur champion for 1907 and 1%8, did not participate In any of the early season events beforo starting in quest of the British title, in which he pas put in the first round.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8—Unless Greece and Turkey blage up over the Island of Crete in the meantime, the third Grecian Olym- piad of modern times will be held in classic Athens in just about six months' time. In local circles the cinder path stars are be- ginning to wonder when something is golng to be started that will eventually take the shape of an American athletic invasion of Greeian soll. Several of the local stars have announced their intention of “going with the team"—unofficially, of course— OLYMPIAD Tarkey Do Net | but as yet there 18 no Inkling as to whether or not a team will be sent The Multnomah American Athletic asso- ciation of Portland, Ore., has already ar- ranged to send one Or more representa tives to the meet in case the country at large fs not represented by a team. For- est Smithson, the peeriess high hurdler, will carry the winged M in his favorite event, the money for his expenses having already been subecribed The American Olymple committee will probably await overtures from Greece be- fore the matter of sending a team to Athens Is taken up in earnest. In 1506 the Greeks sent an urgent invitation for America to send a team and accompanied it with & check for §1,600 to help bear the exponses of the trip. In England there is already talk of mar- shalling & team of Britishers for the 1910 Olympiad that will sweep aside all oppo- sition. This 16 probably the result of the fine walloping that the Englishmen got on their own sofl last summer, for, despite the fact that the United Kingdom officially won a “great victory” at the London Olympiad, because of winning & lot of side issues like the Iadies’ archery competi- tion, deep-thinking Engiishmen are wiss to the fact that thelr track and field athletes got the beating of their lives. TY COBB'S SPEED AMAZES HANS Young Tiger is Pronounced Perfect by the Big Pirate. Hans Wagner and Ty Cobb are mutual admirers. Cobb hopes some day to be as great a ball player as the Dutchman snd of the Georgia Peach, Hans say “Cobb is the fastest man I have ever seen. 1 never thought he could have that much speed. 1 heard a lot about Cobb, |and how fast he was, but he surprised me by the speed he showed on bases in the world's serfes. 1 wouldn't say that he is the fastest man that ever plaved ball, be- cause 1 have not seen all of them, but he has much speed and & lot more than any man 1 ver played against. Cobb s what I call & perfect player. He lacks nothing. There is not a thing that a ball player should have that Cobb hasn't got, and he's got & bunch of things that no other ball player has. He is perfect in overy re. spect. 1 can't find any weakness and I see nothing that he could improve ou."” “The man who was most feared by us, and who was more dangerous than any players we have on our team,” sald one of the brainiest of the Detroit players, who 18 too modest to have his name men- tioned, “is Tommy Leach. We had some- thing on every other player on the Pitt burg team, Wagner ncluded, and they seemed to have the weaknesses of our best men, including Ty Cobb, sized up. But when it came to Leach, there was nothing doing in getting the percentage on him. When he was at the bat he got everybody LARGER WHEELS FOR AUTOS| of te be trom Bigger Wheels, There is much sense in the plea made in Engineering for wheels of larger diameter In motor cars. That small wheels have some advantages is undeniable; they are lghter, cheaper, put less straln on the axle; it {s generally simpler to set the plat- form on the car with them, and it is easler to arrange the lock for the steering gear On the other hand, thers is much more vi- bration with small than with large wheels owing to the unavoidable Inequalities in roads, which s injurious to the mechanism and increases greatly the cost of repairs, and besides, the concentration of loads on wheels of small diameter involves destruc- tion of the road surface. In the case of certaln elasses of vehicles, such as omnibuses and wagons for freight, In which speed is of less fmportance than the capacity for & heavy load, and where comparatively little relief oan be expected from improved tires save at great expense, the substitution of larger wheels seems only reasonable. The suggestion l& also made that the call for great speed in pleasure cars, which marked the first Introduction of the automobile to the public favor, is vielding to a more general demand for more durable and trustworthy machines and for reduced running expenses. Here again wheels of larger diameter would help. More important, however, than any im- provement In the motor cars themselves is the question of saving the roads. The destructive effect of the smaller tires is demonstrated by mathematics and mechan- fos, but the social difficulties are shown just as clearly. Moter cars are destroy- ing the existing roads. The motorists on the one side demand that roads should be brought to a pitch of perfection that will allow them to run thelr cars at full speed with no harm to themselves: this Bngineer- ing maintains cannot be done unless they are restricted to rallroad tracks. On the | other side, the taxpayers who pay for the maintenance of the roads object to their being destroyed by vehicles that are not suitable for them. One remedy proposed {s the taxation of motor cars according to the diameter of the wheels, the smaller wheel paying the larger tax. It would be better still to bulld motors fit to run on the roads as they are, and one step toward that object would be gained, according to Engineering, by increasing the dlameter of the wheels. The cost would be very little compared with that of keeping the roads in good condition. It 1s a su gestion that s worth listening to.—~New York Sun.
