now they lead the second division in the

The Senators played their usually list

were enough to keep the shiyering fans

Three local followers of the ring take

game is now In force. speaks as follows:
Ihere never was time in the American

Cool Weather Puts Ginger in Prac-
tfce and Improvement Is shown.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
kirksvil.e, No. Sept. 19-Remarkable
Improvement has been shown this week in
the work Of the football squad. This has
been due to two or three reasons-the cool,
oraclng weather. which was '.gingered'
up the men; the increased number OF cam
didates. which has resulted IN. lively
scramble for nearly every place on the
team; and TO hard work both on the field
for three hours every afternoon and be-
fore blackboard at night where Coach
Pat ODea diagrams each play and shows
each man his position.
OF the three positions left vacant by
graduations last June, two are already
satisfactorily filed, as McWiIliams and
Roberts are having a lively tussle for right
end. while the same sort of q fight is 60
quarterback position.
This leaves only guard open, but while
there are number of candidates for this
vacancy, ODea is having hard work pick
ing out the right man.
The other positions are all In the hands
OF men who played on the team last year
and ara causing no anxiety.
ODea Is working hard to develop a
fast and at the same time hardy team
Under the new rules there will be more
running to be done by the backs than ever
yard lines all the plays must hit the line
five yards from the place where the ball
Is put In play, this means that end runs
and plunges between tackle and end will
be the principa. plays.
In Crowley Ganoung and Malone the
Osteopaths have trio of fast backs
who are at the same time heavy enough
to stand the pace. Crowley and Malone
especially are very fast on their feet
while Ganoung has already earned the
name of Indian from the pertinacity
with which he crawls along even after
he has a mass Of men piled on top OF
him.
Crowley is also showing great form as
a kicker, under Pat O'Dea's personal tute-
lage- O'Dea, when full back on Wiscon-
sin, was known as the great kangaroo
Kicker" and was acknowledged to be the
greatest in the West, and It will be
strange If he does not develop a kicker
from the bone doctors" lineup.
Next Wednesdays practice game with
the Kirksville State Normal would be a
cake walk for the Osteopaths were It not
for the fact that o'Dea viii line up with
the Normals This. in Itself. will go
long way toward equalizing the teams.
and hard. fast game should result.
The first real game of the season comes
with Illinois, at Champaign. on September
30. Although Illinois. from all reports,
will have one of their best teams this
year, with the advantage of a longer train
ing season. still the Osteopaths will un-
doubtedly give them hard rub, and q
very close score should result.

Frank Hart takes the middle ground on
the question.
Fighters are better in the lighter divf-
they are going back in the upper divi-
sions. Jeffries isn't a true type OF the
heavyweight fighter of to-day. He is alb
normal-an accident SO far as strength is
concerned.
THE big fellows have not been en-
ployed for years. There has been no in
ducement for new material in that class
to work up. When they did get near the
top, they would have to fight man who
Is giant In size and strength. There Is
just one remedy for this state OF affairs.
and that Is to split up the classes still
moro.
ut is ridiculous that Jeffries should
have forty pounds advantage over every
man he fights. Root and Gardiner took
the right step when they created new
class. We ought to have another class at
from lS5 to 1SO pounds for the sake of help
ing the new material along.
I'm the lighter classes the men are bet
ter than before. Cans, believe could
have held his own against any man ever
produced Young Corbett certainly could
Regan is great little fighter and Nell IS
another. They are the best men at lis
pounds.
There never was time when we had
more good men in the classes from I22 to
l3O pounds. or possibly up to 135. don't
think the ring is in decadence-it is sim
ply suffering in some classes from a gem
eral stoppage of the game, which is bound
to be only temporary
The St. Louis Republic., 1903-09-20

Abe Attell has been called on his offer
to fight Young Corbett. He has also been
taken up on HIS proposition to bet 5000
on the side. Just how Abe will sidestep
remains to be seen
In spite of all his talk Attell is prob
ably unable to bet one-fifth OF the sum
he mentions on his. own chances. He
probably would not bet IL II he had IT,.
The only inducement offered Young Cor
bett In this match is the chance to make
something on the side. So the chances
are that the average sporting man will
believe the pair are going to meet when
ne knows that they have entered the
ring.
One thing seems to have been brought
out by the Regan-Attell fight here And
that Is, that a quick man can reach At
tell 1t also showed, however that the
man has to be able to hit hard enough to
slow Attsll down before he can get in et-
fective work on him. Regan could not hit

tainly is higher than the product Of to-

Tommy Sullivan thinks that the ring is
more highly developed than before, In
spite Of the scarcity Of material In some
classes
that we used to have" said he, but it's
because the men are given neither the
chance nor the prominence they had when
like Kid Carter, Jack O'Brien. George
Gardiner and Jack Root would have been
even more prominent IN the old days than
''fhey would have had more fights,
would have attracted more attention, and
would have held their own with the best
at present they have little chance to fight.
An occasional battle does not give the
man the experience that constant fighting
does.
mo matter how slslllful a fighter is. he
can learn something from every man he
faces. George Dixon fought so often that
he had practically every style of boxing
down pat. He had more than $50 battles
on his list that were recorded. That don't
count a lot OF carly fights. Just think
Of the experience there. Now Root and
Gardiner haven't fought for several
months. They simply haven't attracted
the attention they otherwise would. In
the days OF the Horton law they would
have been matched every week or two
against some second rater. The constant
victories. scored would have made them
seem unbeatable.
81 can say this: That the boxers of
to-day are better than the boxers OF
ten years ago. There is a scarcity of ma
terial in the heavyweight class. II is true.
But that Is more of an accident than any
thing else. The ring Is not in a state of
decay; it is getting better every year. SO
