NEW YORK, Dec. 4—According to re- ports from the west, against Frank Goteh in their cent wrost- ling mateh at Buffalo was of a most couraging nature to the big Polish artist's followers. It is said Zbystko's work surprised every one, as a result of the bout he has number of new admirers. Gotch, ently, was surprised with the tussl Zbyszko gave him, and he s quoted saying: mat won “Zbyssko is & big man with which to do | battle. He has wonderful strength. As a matter of fact, I belleve him to be equally as powerful as Hackenschmidt. the cleverness of the Russian Lion, how- ever. My meeting with Zbyszko has taught me a lesson I am not likely to soon forgat When I met him I had not trained, as I thought he would be an easy victim. But I must confess that he did give me a hard battle. If I ever meet him again I will prove that he is no mateh for me, thouzh Beell or any of the Turkish wrestlers could defeat him, I think." The following is what the Pole had to say of the battle: “If I meet Gotch again 1 will defeat him. I am sure of that. 1 had him pretty well tired out, and in a battle to finish I think I would stand a fine show. I want to meet him again and I will show the world what I can do to his toe hold.” Since the big Polish wrestler has met Gotch he has received any number of challenges from various mat artists all over the country.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Although that branch of swimming devoted to lite saving would appear at first sight to be strictly a summer and outdoor toplc, a moment's thought will show how well adapted are the winter pools for the study and develop- ment of new methods. An Interesting question has arisen of late as to whether the breast and back strokes, ‘which have hitherto been deemed the only available ones In life saving, are really the most efficient. Several practical and up- to-date Instructors are beginning to élaim the contrary, and the time is now ripe for a discussion of the subject, as a contro- wversy is sure to bring about the expression of views from all sides and result in a most opportune advancement in the art of rescuing the drowning. 5 Exponents of the new theory point out not unreasonably that some of the grips used at present, and particularly that in which the rescuor seizes the patient around the body with one arm and propels himself with the other, call for a side stroke. They also contend that in those other cases in which both arms are necessary to sus- tain the drowning person, only the legs are used In propelling and that the modern seissor kick Is then far more effective than the old frogx kick. There can be no denial of these facts. Both in helping a tired swimmer by allow- ing him to place both hands scissor kick very conveniently. ‘Those who would oppose the new methods on the plea that the side stroke Is too themselves tiring for lifte saving show \gnorant of the progress made in swim- ming. It has been proved beyond all doubt that the modern strokes hold the secret of covering the greatest distance in the ghortest time with the least effort, and in one this assertion stards, speed” swimming or ashore. Conversation has been so long the key- note of life saving methods that it is hard to introduce anything savoring of change, whether it be helping some but the wonderful achievements of water polo players since they began to adapt water wrestling and breaking to the rescu- r have given ample ing of those In dan proof that the art s still in its infancy. Some of the clever holds and breaks the rlayers made known have now been gen- erally adopted, and If speed swimming can cnly frrnish its thare of development & great progress should be witnessed again. Several of the big athletic clubs question. Concerted action on the part of all who are interested should result in revolutionizsing the primitive system in use.

Tim MoGrath, Veteran Trainer, Says He's Taking Chances, || JOHNSON WILL BE HARD TO BEAT .| Scores Vaudeville Stunts and Declares | the Poller Maker Needs uwous Work—Other Hxpert Views. Stren. NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Tim McGrath, one of the best known handlers and trainers of pugilists In this country, seems to think that Jeffries Is taking desperate chances with Jack Johnson. McGrath has seconded and supervised the conditioning of such | noted pugllists as Ike Welir, Frank Murphy, | | ity Murphy, Solly Smith, Dal Hawkins, Spider Ke Mysterious Billy Smith, Young Mitchell, Danny Needham, Kid Lavigne, George Dawson, Tom Tracey, Dan | Creedon, Joe Wolcott, Battling Nelson, Tom Sharkey and Johnson. hen he consents to discuss pugilism, therefore, McGrath Is able to epeak by the card “Jeff is taking a pretty big chance when he agrees to enter the ring with this big negro after a life of idleness for nearly five years,” sald McGrath the other day. “You hear a lot of fans saying that Jeff 1s only three years oMer than Johnson and that the negro has been hitting the high | places a bit himself. That may be truc but Johnson has been fighting right along Mind you, he beat a good man last month, for Ketchel was highly regarded as fighter until the black put him away. “We know that Johnson can fight right | now, but we don't know whether | or not. It's llke the fellow who drank | twenty mugs of beer on a wager. He tried | it first. 1 think it would be a good idea, therefore, If Jeff tried a few second-rate | tighters first. Too Much Vaundeville, | “I don't like the way Jjim has been doing | his so-called training on the vaudeville | stage. If Jeft had hung & gun over his shoulder and had gone off in the California | mountains hunting when the public first asked him to return to the ring I'd have had more confidence in him. Instead he | tackled this vaudeville game for the money | there was In ft. “But there'’s more money in it for Jef- | fries it he whips Johnson, for he'll never die a pauper as long as white men live. | He had better forget about the footlights right away quick and get back to the simple life. No man can train on a| vaudeville diet. I've bucked that game | mysef and I know. How can a man traln when he's facing the footlights all the time, breathing the foul air of the crowded theaters, sleeping In strange beds, eating badly cooked food and catching | trains at all hours of the night? “Jeff needn’t think that he can blow this negro over. He's got to have the £ood old punch, that keen eye and that old speed. Johnson lsn't afrald of him, s0 get that out of your head. The colored man is the best front runner in the world I Johnson has the least bit of confldence he's golng to fight like a wild man, I know. I've hand'ed him and I'm quali- fled to talk. He will not have a faint heart when he gets into the ring, because he is convinced that the bumble bee has lost & lot of his sting. 4 Good Word for Berger. “This fellow Berger makes me weary with his vaudeville game. What does coin amount o In a crisis like this? Berger doesn't care for sentiment at all He's trying to grab off all he can for Jeft and himself and then let the bhig fellow beat himself just as old John L. Sullivan did when Corbett beat him. Sullivan just ran himself to death and Corbett didn't have to hit him hard enough to score a knock- out. Johnson is just as clever as Corbett and he's a much better fighter. Take it from me that Jeff will have his hands tull when the battle begins. “Had Jeffries and Johnson been matched four years ago the sporting public would not have regarded the fight serlously. Johnson would not have been looked upon as a formidable antagonist and a com- paratively small purse would have been offered for the mill. But under present conditions it is safe to say that the men seem to be very evenly matched, with the negro having a look in. “With Jeffries possibly going back and Johnson still coming I think it is about an even break with the negro having a chance to win on strength and stamina. I'll admit that Jeff is improving In his con- dition steadily, but he will have to be at his best to win back the title. If Jetfries can stand the pace and ean reach the negro with his old time body blows a rect competition with many well known brand, tests by experts, Juries of Award at St. Louis, 1904, P The Whiskey With a Reputation H Rye received Gold Medals at three great AS no superior for purity and high quality in the opinion of Y3 the World's best judges of fize whi For Quaker Maid World’s Expositions.

With wind, Jeffries will beat himself. Johnson will not have to wade in and hammer him into submiesion. Jef- fries will blow up and Johnson can then pick him to pleces at long range. What a worty spectacle it would be if Jeff faded away before this negro because his bellows went back on him! “It might do Jeff a lot of good to indulge in one or more real fights before taking on the black pugilist. With this experience the big fellow would know beyond the ques- tion of a doubt whether or not he was right, There's a vast difference between a friendly sparring match and a fight for blood. For this reason Jeffries should meet Al Kauf- man, Jim Barry or Jim Flynn in a ten- round bout and let the world know what chance he has to whip Johnson." Open or Too Close, Pivot in Foot Ball Case Question that Will Govern the Revi- sion of Rules by the Law Makers, NEW YORK, Dec. 4—The question as to a revision of the foot bail rules is rapldly getting down to an argument as to whether the game s top open or too close. A gen- eral sen(iment among those Who have been shocked by fatal accidents this year seems to be that the play should be made still looser, while another element deplor- ing such occurrences just as much, thinks that certain features of the new and open game have been largely responsible, This latter elément, which has as one of its chief exponents Jim Hogan, Yale's tackle and captain in 1904, and now deputy street cleaning commissioney, Is opposed to the forward pass and the neutral zone between the scrimmage lines. He is not convinced, gencrally speaking, that the ten-yard rule is necessary, but Is not so bitter against that phase of the new rules Bill Edwards of Princeton is in full agree- ment with Hogan In this matter. “Here 15 the trouble,” sald Hogan. “You have your tackle, for instance, with a play coming at him. He has to dive into it, as he always did, to break it up, looking for a forward pass. He had to dive in the old days, too, but he knew what he was going to find on the other side of the line, after he had broken through, and he could charge low. This condition is simply in- tensified by the neutral zone. The offence he'll win, but if Johnson can stand him off for twenty rounds I think the boller- maker will gradually tire and the negro will finally put him away. In short Jeff will have to win inside of twenty rounds or not at all” Other Experts in Line. McGrath s not the only expert in Call- fornla who thinks Jobnson has a chance to defeat the bollermaker. Willlam J. Slattery of San Francisco, who has fol- lowed pugilism for wany years in various cepacities, has the following to say about the fight: “It Jeffries hopes to get back into his old form he should heed the advice of his intimate friends on the coast by cutting out his theatrical engagements and get- ting down to hard work. Jeff may not realize it, but he will be taking an awful chance it he overdoes the exhibition game end neglects his training. If anything béduts Jeftries it will be lack of condition or shortness of wind, and as every athlete knows Jeff will mot improve his form by playing one night stands all over the country for the greater part of the coming winter. “In his eagerness to gather In as much coln as possible Jetfries may overlook the most important detafls of his preparation for the mill. His advisers are constantly telling him that he's as ‘good as over and can ‘beat the coon In & few rounds.’ Jett was always easily influenced. and he seems to be under the old spell now. “But old timers know very well that Jeffries is not the man he was. It stands to reason that fiye years of idleness must have had some effect on the big fellow's constitution. No fighter every stayed out of the ring as long as Jeff and then came back with the form he used to display. “Johnson, though nearly as old as the bollermaker, has been fighting steadlly. He is coming, while Jeff appears to be going. Here lies the difference: Johnson has been improving with every contest. We never saw him display so mugh class as in the mill with Ketchel. Taking this for granted, Johnson figures to be just so much better when he faces Jeffries, and don't forget that the negro can get Into his best con- dition in a few weeks. Three Months Outdoors. “All the fighting men in California that Jeffries will need about three months of rugged life in the mountains. This will do him more good than all the boxing, gym work and vaudeville stunts he can crowd into his system in years. Let Jeff get back to his old training grounds, the mountains, where he cai soon find out whether he can recover his wind or no “Withoyt good bellows Jeffries will never Three or four rounds will Amportant as was the interpational struggle | tell whether the blg fellow's breathing of 1908 apparatus s all right or not. A man of his has too much of a chance to gather power before it hits the line. The men are play- ing in looser fashion, and lots of these ac- cidents to backs and necks come from just such crashing plays against a loose and broken line, when the men do not have an opportunity to find themselves be- fore they are in the thick of the play.” “It fsn't only the line men who are af- fected by the forward pass” sald Mr. Edwards. “Men who are catching the ball are of necessity in a darigerous position. The end or tackle who Is to take the pass has to go down the fleld, turn quickly for the throw, and, after catching the ball, turn again to go down the field. He is almost invaritbly tackled as soon as he has received the pass, and, being brought down without a chance of Injury is con- siderable. The play cost Yale the use of a fine ehd in the Princeton game, when Vaughan's knee was 8o badly wrenched that he could not play against Harvard." These are the opinions of practical men, who not only played the game well while in college, but have followed is closely ever since. On the other hand, there is a multiplicity of suggestions from men who want to see a revision toward a more open game. The western conference has taken action looking to such changes, and A. A. Stagg of Chicago,-its representative on the rules committee, 18 keen for. a revision of some sort. He wants more severe penalties for pilling up fllegally, the blowing of the whistle by the referce when the ball is dead, and the stoppage of pulling or push- ing & plaver along. Mr. Edwards sald that he had inflicted only one penaty for pilling up this year in all the games he has umplred, that ome having been against Waseuka of the Indians at Philadeiphia. It takes little stretching of the rules to impose disqualification as the penalty for plling up if the offense becomes habitugl with a player. Every referee who knows the rules and his duties blows his whistle as soon as the bAll 1s-dead, and no further ruling is re- quiréd on that point. The suggestion for- bidding players to help the man with the ball along is certainly radical. It would change the whole aspect of the game. Ilinols Swingmers Golng East.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4—The H. a busy pair of promoters these days. Thoy are preparing our annual treat, the six- day bicycle race at Madison Square Gar- den, without which New York would bs a very dull winter resort. The promotion of a six-day race is no child’s play., Instead, it is & monumental undertaking, which entalls no end of work for the promoters. There are a thousand and one details to be carried out of which the public has no idea, and there are thousands of dollars of expense incurred long before the doors of the big Garden are thrown open at the start. Some of the riders are favorites of old, and others are new to the game on this side of the ocean. Among the latter are Carrapazzi and Cimiola, an Itallan team regarded as wonders, and Germain and Shirley. The formersis a Frenchman and the latter is English. They are highly re- garded In cycle racing eircles in Furope. They will team up as the French-English team.

No more popular team than Rutt and Stohl ever came from Europe for & grind. Stohl s a pocket edition of Here- cules, fast and game, and Rutt is, perhaps, the speediest sprinter awheel in all Europe. They will be among the favorites for the race. Another new team In this year's race fs made up of Percy Lawrence and Al Hal- stead, two of the best amateurs ever turned out in this country. Lawrence is | this year's amateur American champion, and Halstead s the ex-amateur champlon of England, who has been riding on the American track for. a -couple of seasons with great success.
