JOHNSON LACKING IN GAMENESS Although Having Never Seem Bither Seientist Declares There is Something the Matter with Johmson's Feet. SPRINGFIBLD, O, March G6-—Now comes Professor C. L. Cordray, a sclen- tific astrologer and advises the sport fans of the country to bet their money on Jef- fries, declaring that 2l of the signs of the heavens return him ohampion. The pro- fessor says Jeffries will win, but he is doubtful of the fight taking Place, because both men are of practically the same basic nature. The professor has made an approximate delineation of the physical powers of en- durance as regards the fighting abllity of the two pugilists. He says that Jeffries was born on Thursday, April 16, 187. At that time the planets of our solar system were polsed in the signs of zodiac as fol- lows; The sun was in the twenty-fifth de- gree of Arfes; the moon In the twenty- ninth degree of Leo; Uranus in the elev- enth degree of Aquirus; Jupit in the twenty-seventh degree of Libra; Mars in the twenty-elghth degree of Sagittary, the bowman; Venus In the fourteenth degres of Places; Mercury in the second degree of Aries, and the sign Taurus was arising at the time. This position of the planets ocertainly gives Jeffries plenty of physfeal strength and combativencss to fight any one to a finish, for on the day of his birth the laws of nature were in his favor, for Aries, Leo and Sagittary are the three powerful fighting signs of the heavens, and with the sun, moon, Mars, Uranus and Mercury all about equally divided among these signs, and that powerful fighting sign, Taurus, the bull, arising and sending his Influence over mother earth at the time of his birth, gives Jeffries Herculean strength in his shoulders, neck and arms. The professor aldo says that every time the ‘“‘wise ones” think that the retired champlon cannot come back, because he stormy sea in this day if her means of transportation were to be brought down through the centuries and compared with those of the modern ball player. As a mat- ter of serious fact, this palatial training camp train is not all a vulgar show of money. Ball players—every man—represent & tangible asset, so much money Invested, They require the best of care, especially in this pre-season perfod of uncertain Wwesthdr and their employers have learned by ence that palatial tralns are but one means of conserving their investments. ‘Then, too, this long training season has 14 relation to the whole scheme of economy in Amerfcan life. This is an age of prepara- tion, thoroughness. The college education inculcates the principle; business fosters it “whd the times demand jt.

Born on Sunday. “Jack’” Johnson was born on Sunday, March 31, 1878. At that time the sun was in the tenth degree of Aries, the moon in fourteenth degree of Plsces, the fish; Ura- nus in the twenty-fifth degree of Leo; Saturn in the twenty-fifth degree of Plsces; Jupiter in the second degree of Aquarius; Mars fn the seventh degree of Gamini; Venus in the first degree of Places; Mer- cury in the twenty-first degree of Aries. Thess were the positions of the planets &t the time of Johnson's birth. It will be seen that the sun and Mercury were in the aign Arfes at the birth of beth men, and Uranus in Leo was the same slgn, but the sign Arles is a fire sign, while the sign Pisces is one of the water signs. The moon, the lesser light of the heavens, was in the Plsces with the planet Saturn and Venus at the time of Johnson's birth, and this is not very good for a prize fighter, An analysis of the elements of the ma-~ tertal of these two men show that Johnson .18 composed- of fire and waten, and those opposite elements do mot work well together. Jeffries is mostly fire, tem- pered by “earth, and the resistance is very strong, one to the other, without any iInjury one to the other. In summing up the two men, Prof. Cordray says that Johnson is a natural athlete and is much quicker than Jeffries, for he has the flery nature of Aries, tempered by the watery element of Plsces, the fishes, and this s where he gets the quick action trom. Jeffries’ elements are Arles, fire, tem- pered by earth from the sign Taurus, the bull. This is where Jeffries gets his arm strength, as Taurus is the sign which rules or governs the shoulders and arms. They are both natures of Arles, the lamb in Leo. Their basio natures, temperments and dispositions are pretty much allke, but Johnson for activity and Jeffries for endurance. Prof. Cordray says that the combinatisn 6««»0-2‘/:& B i Papke is In Bad with Sports of Gay Old Paree Cowardly Assault on Smaller Man from Behind Forces Him PARIS, March 5.—Bllly Papke, the Ili- nols thunderbolt, who came into Paris with a flourish of trumpets, hafled as the world's champlon at the middleweight, will beat a hasty retreat, a discredited person with. his fellow Americans and new-found Parls admirers who turned out to welcome him sneering at the mere mention of his name. The sudden change In the aspect of things was brought about by a cpwardly and un- provoked assault committed by Papke on the small body of Dan McKetrick, whom he laid low with a viclous and most cow- ardly blow dealt from behind on the dark- ened stage of the Theater Femina the other night. Papke, Willle Lewis, Harry Lewis, Al Kublak and other American boxers were the stars of a benefit boxing show given in ald of the flood sufferers at the Theater Femina. The boxers gave exhibi- tions that pleass immensely and, follow- ing the bouts Mr. MoKetrick, who had se- cured a set of films of the Johnson-Ketchel battiesof last October, gave Parisians thelr view of the slaughter of the Michigan boy by the big black. The stage was filled with, pugilists when the pictures were being shown, and as many of the fighters had not seen them, they were watching every move of the two men on the canvas. A number of leading Paris business men Were among the hundreds >F more persons on the stage, and Al Lippe and McKetrick were explain. ing the merits of the two fighters add the different blows to them. Lippe explained that Ketchel, despite his defeat, was still the middleweight cham- ulon, whereupon MeKetrick told Lippe to | keep quiet, as they were advertising Papke U FATE OF VANISHED COINS Disappearance of the Once Familiar Three«Cent Plece Ex- plained, The dlsappesrance of the 3-cent plece has for years been a matter of mild specu- lation. ¥ew persons are aware that a large proportion of the coins of this de- nomination which remained in circulation When the government. stopped Issulng them, are peacefully slumbering fn sun- dry large fat canvas bags in the vaults of & certain electrical manufacturing company of Chicago.

Hardly hed six months passed before one of the telephone companies discovered that the collectors were yleld- ing a harvest of 3-cent pieces. Then from all over the country came similar complaints, . Each company forwarded the pleces to the manufacturing compaoy, and more or less politely asked that & corresponding @lent amount be sent back in exchange. A councll was helc at the ofice of the Was found that a balance was in favor of the 3-cent, and It ‘Was decided to acoept the pleces as dimes.

Lippe got his cue and kept quiet, so far a8 the champlonship was concerned, but & moment later was explaining the Ketchel shift and sald thet it was with this that Ketchel knocked out most of his men. 1t was bere that Papke broke In and showed himself. He had just come from his dressing Toom after his exhibition bout, and, hearing some one remark that he had copled the Ketchel shift with success, ob- jected, In the darkness he made for the man nearest him who happened to be little Dan McKetrick, who welghs 110 pounds. “I won't allow any one to knock me, Dan. I am the middlewelght champion dnd don't copy any one's style,” Papke said, and betore McKetrick could explain that he had not sald & word, Papke let go & terrifio left-hander which landed on Me- Ketriok's cheek and knocked him out, cut- ting &n spgry gash, which required four stitohes. McKetrick sank uncomscious to the floor, and before others could real- ize it Papke sneaked away in the darkness, ‘The indignation of the other pugillsts knew no bounds, and in little groups they began to search for Papke, vowing to give him » sound trounolng for his cowardily deed. The officials of the Scie Soclete de Propo- gation de lo Box, who brought Papke to France, are in a high state of indignation, and at a meeting will probably cancel his engagement. Meanwhile, they Insist that McKetrick bring civil action against the fighter, and things may go very badly for Papke here. — . Stors Delicions Bock Beer, Now ready in bottles.

INTEREST A LARGER NUMBER Prll.ot“i Plan is Set Forth as Giviag More Studemts an Opportunity to Develop Throush Athletion. ? NEW YORK, March b.-—Demand for greater liberality In awarding university athletic insignia, even the 'varsity letter, is becoming widespread. Harvard's cross- country men are not alone in the field in this respect, as the gentiment Is growing noticeably at Princeton. The Tiger hockey team, champlons of the Intercollegiate Hockey league, sports the ‘P and there is evidently some support of the idea at Princeton of going a trifie further. There seems to bé no deaire to cheapen the let- ter, but to give the gomsclentious athlete @& reward for good work, even when it does not quite measure up to the .top standard. It is interesting to note, in this connec- tion, the signs of an orgadised effort at Princeton to bufld up the track team agalnst the coming of Keene Fitzpatrick through greater ' liberality with insignia. This from the “Dally Princetonian” is characteristic: ““The senior class recently passed a reso- lution stating it to be the opinion of the class that there should be more encour- agement given to men to participate in athletics by awarding more insignia. While it s realized that it is the privilege of belonging to a team, the honor that such membership carries with it, the love of the sport, the chance to help in keeping up the athletic prestige of the university, or other equally laudable reasons that moves men to try for positions on teams, still it is true that the privilege of wearing a special insignia is prized by nearly all, and with some would be an appreciable factor in inducing them to compete. 7 “This 18 & plea for a Wwider recognition of the work done by track men. This sport | is on the rise, If present Indications count for anything, and should be given all pos- sible encouragement. - Awarding some insignia that could be worn and kept after the participant had ceased to be a member of the track team might draw out a fow more men in that sport. But, laying aside this argument, the men who &re now on the team deserve more recognition than they get. Men In the other major sports have only to get fito a Yale or Harvard game In order to/win thelr letter, but a member of the track team has to win a first place either In the Yale meet, a point in the intercollesiate meet, or break a Princeton rocord, to get the same recognition. ““Those who have worked hard all season, or mayhap all year and get only the "var- sity stripe, get merely the equivaient of the stripe worn on the stockings or jer- soy by the foot ball or base ball men, sinco it can be worn only in comnection with the track sult. These track men who do not quality for the 'varsity letter, of course, do not deserve it, but they do merit some recognition. Indeed, they are the kind of contestants in which our track teams of the past few years have been woetully weak—namely, in the en- trants of secondary rank who stand some chance, but not the best chance, of winning points. 4 “What the insignia should be can easily be determined. It is not so much the exact thing itself that counts, but what that thing represents in the minds of others. The adoption of some such device or monogram would be in sccordance with the Ideas recently expressed by the senior class, would give the men mow on the team the recognition that they deserve and might be of no small influence in bfinging out some of those men of fairly good ability that the track team so much needs at the present time.” ALL-YEAR COACH NEBRASKA'S ORY (Continued from Page One.) 10 "o, From the Washington Herald. eleven years ! has been one of the lead- ers in the "‘Big Eight.” With Jones there is the same fault to find that there is in the case of Page, ex-Chicago; he does not know a great amount about basket ball and track ath- letics. His experience at Syracuse this year will probably show wnat ability he has fn dealing with other branches of athletics. Westerners Want Place, Too. In the west there are several men Who would Iike the Nebraska position. From Colorado has come a glowing recommen- datfon of one Richards, who at present 1s located at Colorado Springs. It is said Richards was once coach of the Colorado School of Mines team when that institu- tion had & winner. He {s athletio director of the Colorado Springs High school, re- celving a salary of $3,600, which is prob- ably the highest salary pald to any man in the United States for the same work. Richards I8 an all-round coach and has had erperfence in base ball, foot ball, bas- ket oall and track athletics. The party whe recommended Richards says the Col- orado Springs man would be certain to meXe & siuccess of the work at Nebraska ard that he would be willing to socept & salary less than that which he 1s pald at Colorado Springs just in order to show the Cornhuskers what he can do. Deacon Koehler, formerly coach at the University of Denver, would Iike the place. Koehler was at the Denver school for four years and there had a large amount of success. His foot ball team in 1908 wes the champion of the’ Colo- rado region. Last fall it met but two defeats, one by Haskell and the other by Nebraska. Koehler instructed the Denver- ites in all branches of athletics. He turned out a star basket ball team one winter and algo had a strong track team for one spring. After the foot ball geason last fall Kosh- ler resigned his position at Denver and applied for the Nebraska foot ball coach- ing job. Koehler played foot ball at Ne- braska for two years in the early vart of Booth's regime and then went to Chicago, where he played for two years. In No Hurry to Act. Besldes the men who have been men- tioned herein, the Nebraska board has had applications for the -year-round job from coaches at many universities in all parts of the country. Recommendations have been received in all places. Beveral of Coach Yost's former puplls who have made & success of coaching have asked for the Cornhusker job. 2 The Nebraska athletic board has con- sidered all the applications and all, the recommendations, but it is not yet ready to make & selection. It i walting to hear from other men and to hear about other men. It wants to learn of every man on the avallable list before it makes a choice. Jt any one knows of a good man, who might do for the Cornhusker position, the board would Nke to be informed of that man. ‘When all parts of the country have been heard from, when every available man has been listed; then the Cornhusker mentors will begin & sifting process that will re- sult In the elimination of all the avallables | excepting one, who shall become Ne- braska's year-round coach. It may be a month or two, or more be- fore the board finally makes a cholce, but the matter will not be allowed to darg along untll next fall. The Nebraska board of control wants & coach elected this year, 80 that he can take up the work of train- ing the basket ball team next November, “King” Cole has been re-elected foot ba'l cosch for next fall, and, of course, will have charge of the Cornhuskers in that Ime of endeavor, but with the close of the foot ball season the iIndividual coach- ing system will go, and the year-round man will come on the job. This Year Good Lesson. The experierce of the present school year has taught the Nebraska board a lesson that has made it anxious Lo prevent a reps- tition of the things that have happened since last fall. Since Dr. Clapp resigned last fall from his position as track and basket baill coach, the Cornhuskers have been forced to do all kinds of mental gymnas- tiop In order to figure out how to get cosches for base ball, basket ball and track, and yet keep down the salary Mst. The result of such a condition of af- fairs has been that the board has per- mitted the financial consideration of the coaching question to determine its policy, and the men selected to train the various teams have not met with the approval of the studeuts and alumni.
