every one they play. But the chief OBJ
ject of such an organization as og,~ foot

dams wonderful athletic ability as
brought out under favorable conditions,
but more to use the sport as an element

DR.. MonteZuma has often been asked
why he does not go among his suffering
brethren as a missionary. His an
swer has been that he to-day does
stand as a missionary in the American
Indian cause, but instead of among the
Indians in the midst of the whites
whom he deems should be educated to
an idea of the true condition of the
aborigine problem.
Apropos of the Philippine question,
the Apache physician laconically points
out that If the matter of "civilizing" a
comparatively small number of Indians
within our very domains has caused
the government years of bitter expert
ment then that phase of the eastern
question that affects the subiugation
and civilizing of the natives of Luzon
and the other islands will indeed stir
up a caldron of trouble.

THE RING
;G&GGGGe ee&e @G@e &C
Men Are Confident.

Interest in coming pugilistic events
is centered in the heavyweight contest
between Peter Maher and kid Nc
Coy, scheduled to take place at Con Y
Island tomorrow afternoon The meet
ing between the Irishrnan and the
young Hoosier promises to be a battle
royal. Strength and hitting power are
in favor of the Irishman but in the
matter of science the boyish American
is Peters superior.
Maher is by no means a coarse slug
ger. He is clever to a degree, but as
compared with Mccoy he is by no
means in the latter's class. Maher has
to depend almost entirely upon his hit
ting qualities to score victory.
In speaking of McCoy's qualities Ma
her said: 1.-The Kid is without doubt
a very clever, shifty fighter. He is also
very game, but he can't stand pun sh-
uent. owing to his frail frame and con-
stitution. I can afford to take at least
three of his blows in order to land one.
I know this is true, because he landed
at least four times to Sharkey's once
in their battle, but the sailor finally
wore him down. Now, I have met the
sailor, and I think that all fair minded
persons will agree that had the better
of 1t when the police interfered. II I
could hold Sharkey safe, why shouldn't
l beat Mccoy? l think the fight will
be a fast and short one. 1t will be no
fault of mine if il is not over inside of
fifteen rounds"
Mccoy weighs 174 pounds, which Is
10 pounds more han he weighed when
he fought Shariey. He said that his
health is now of the best, and that alto
gether he never felt in better shape
for battle, He is very confident of
defeating the Irishman, and says that
Maher will find him equally at home
at close as we'll as long range fighting.
II was not myself the night l fought
Sharkey." said Mccoy, "and was much
too light to battle successfully with the
sailor but I am an entirely different

Clever With the Cue.

While Adrian Constantine Anson just
now occupies the center of the stage as
an exponent of both billiards and base
ball. he Is by no means the only ball
player that has been strongly identified
with billiards in the hlstorv of the gen.
tlenan's game, there seeming always
to have been some sort of a strong af-
finity between the two. Ansons billiard
career may be said to have begun away
back in Marshalltown, and when he
was nothing but mere lad in years,
as in those days, according to his own
story. he played a game that was a
great deal above the average. and was
often matched by the townspeopie
against the drummers, who We're look

they had found one in the tall, ungain-

known as a billiardist. however and
while he was member of the Forest
City club of Rockford. Eugene Kimbau

class.

Another Strong JefTrics.

Jim Jeffries is not great fighter, be-
ing anything but aggressive in nature,
but his strength is prodigious.
This was proven in his battles with
Fitzsimmons and Sharkey, for while
they out-boxed him, they could not beat
him down.

The tales of the wonderful feats IF

A Brilliant Young Center

Although his name has not been talk
ed about an cold type to any alarming
extent this year, Howard Lee. probably
the youngest varsity center rush IN
the United States, has been making a
sensation in his playing during The
past season. Young Lee is Denver
boy and is but 10 years old. And yet
he is the central man in a football Hr-
ray of one of the largest colleges of
the country. He was picked up for the
place from almost 1000 students, IN
Guiding the pick of athletes on the
western coast.
Lee entered Leland Stanford univer-
sity last September and is a member
of the freshman class. He did not
wal. but applied for a place on the
football register at once. Upon inyes-
tigation his remarkable physique and
great strength told in his favor and he.

was told to don the gridiron garb for
practice. Four years experience in
athletics with high schools, however,
had helped him greatly to the posi-
tion.
Lee played for several years on the
East Denver high school football team
and for a year on the team of the mill
tary school at Sing Sing, New York.
He knew all the practical side of the
game when he entered the university.
is fine student, entering Stanford
with a record of high grades for the
last four years.
Bull To Leave Yale,
Yale will next fall lose the services
of w. T. Bull, one of her most valu-
able football coaches. BILLY Bull" as
he Is known, has been studying in the
Yale medical school for the past two
years. He has during this time coach
ed the football team each fall. Bull is
probably the greatest kicker that this
country has produced. This fall he de-
veloped A. H. Sharpe, who all but won
the Princeton game for Yale. Bull has
decided to go to the college of physi-
clans and surgeons for the last two
years of his medical course. This will
take him away from Yale two years
earlier than was expected.
Bull was first assistant to HEAD
Coach Rodgers this fall. Bull had full
charge of the kicking, and the value
of his coaching was brought out in the
Harvard game, when Yale kept Harv-
ard on the defensive by punting, and
in the Princeton game, when Sharpe
dropped his goal from the 4s-yard line.
Bull is a very popular coach and Yale
men had thought that he would be
here for two seasons more at least.
He is one of Yale's most popular
coaches, and as kicking expert prob.
ably has no equal. Yale fears that if
Bull goes to New York to study he will
drop out of foakball altogether.

Medical colleges football team, G. ..
Toland was unanimously elected cap
tain for the ensuing year. Toland

back on the University of Colorado
eleven in 1896 and 1897 before entering
the university medical college, and his
first game with the Medics this year
against the Nebraska state university.
he particularly distinguished himself
by his savage line bucking. He is a
man who will work hard for the sue
cess of the team next year and he is a
worthy successor to the Mighty He'll

The past season has been very sue
cessful one for the Medics, and pros
poets for the coming years team are
good, although several of the old stars
will graduate. Those who go out are;
Heller, Wyatt. Baum, Hill, Wysong,
Cowden and Castle. However, there
are still number of experienced play
ers who will form a nucleus for a
strong team next year, with Captain
Tolan, Morley, Grady, Holman, Lewis,
Poorman, Porter and McCrae.
1t is reported that ex-Captain Heller
has been employed as coach. If this be
true the Medics are to be congratu

arrived in New York after the accident
his physician declared the st. Paul doc
tors had not properly set his arm, and
proceeded to rebreak it. Then there
was a swell row between the New York
and st. Paul doctors that would put a

Midd1eweirht Champions.

Speaking of middleweight champion
ships, 1t is generally conceded that the
honor belongs to "Lanky Bob" Fitz-
simmons Mccoy and Tommy Ryan,
however, are aspirants for the title and
the former declares that he is entitled
to the honor by reason Of the fact that
he has challenged Fitzsmmons and has
posted forfeit, but Bob has never
taken him up. Because of this Mccoy
asserts that the championship title re-
verts to him by default. No one who
knows Fitzsimmons believes that he
will ever fight in the middeweight class
again, as it would be extremely diff
cult for him to make the weight
"Fitz" considers himself by no means
entitled to be numbered among the
has beens" in the heavyweight classl-
f1cation. and if he doesn't get chance
to try conclusions with Jeffries and
that, too, soon after the champions
round with Corbett, 1t will not be his
fault. The perslstency with which
FitZsimmons sticks to the heaVywe ght
class is a virtual admission that mid
dleweight honors are lightly he'd by
him. Consequently this leaves Mccoy,
Ryan and other mddleweights the op-
portunity to go after the virtually dis
carded championship.

Maher Is Popular.

That Kid Mccoy is to-day well, hear
ty and robust, with an appetite for raw
beef three times a day, is considered
by many a wonder For the Kid has
recovered from most dismal list Of
troubles, from nervous affection of the
giZzard to an indefinite operation which
removed, perhaps, a feeling of doubt,
settled somewhere about the liver, that
he could win a fight with the favorite
of New York-Peter Maher. But, at
any rate, the Hoosier cyclone is well
again, and doesn't look as though he
had ever heard the word hospitals
Maher has seen his best days, so be-
lieve those who ought to know; and
all that is left of the rather poor article
of fighting he once had is the enthusi-
asm of all the thousands of sons of
Erin in Manhattan and that terrible
right arm. With the former he went
to many a fight elated, and with the
latter he knocked out many a man bet
ter master of ring rules and tactics than
he ever was. But Maher can always

"Sport" Dopnelly Dying.

Ben C'Sport') Donnelly Is dangerous
ly i'll with consumption in Southern
Mexico
Once as great a football player as
any of the time, he weighed more than
200 pounds, but now Ill health has cut
his weight down to 160 pounds. Don
nelly had been sick for some months
previous to his departure from Chicago,
but till a short time before he left the
physicians were undecided as to
whether he had consumption or was
suffering from internal effects of pos
sible football injury.
In the early '90s he was prominent on
the Chicago Athletic association eleven
as an end and tackle. Before that he
had gained fame as a star end on the
Princeton eleven in 80 and 80.
While at Princeton he was a promi-
nent baseball player. After corning to
this city. which Is his home, he soon
showed that he was boxer of proWess
and swimmer Of speed.
Mrs. Ben Donnelly accompanied her
husband to Mexico. A romance was
connected with their marriage, which
was not known till some months after
the ceremony had been performed
The two had been engaged since
Bens Princeton days. The promise to
wed from his sweetheart was given
only after an important football game
had been decided in Priuceton's favor.
Donnelly fought the battle of his life
net so much for the football prestige
of his college as for the gift of fair
lady's hand. Many years they were en-
gagged, but the love never waned.
Donnelly Is about 81 years old. He is
the son of the late r. H. Donnelly OF
the firm of r. H. Donnelly & Sons,
publishing house. The son was actively
engaged in the business after his faith
er's death about a year ago.
