bARRY'S PERFORMANCE
UNDER SARGENT SYSTEM
Harvard Strength Expert Says the
Local Man Is an Ideal
Athlete.
TEST BY MISS BAUER
She Lifted Total of 1926 Foot
Pounds and Had High Per
Cent. in Test.
TEST BY MISS BAUER

Two local opponents of the universal
strength, speed and endurance system
drawn up by DIR. Dudley Allen Sargent of
Harvard University are Joseph Barry and
Miss Laura Bauer of the Independent
Turnverein. Oscar +. Ruther, physical
director at the Independent Turnverein.
recently received a letter from DR.. Sar-
gent, in which the latter stated that Mr..
Barry was an ideal athlete. In the
strength test taken by Barry he did not
fall below So per cent in any one of the
six tests and in two he came very near the
maximum. Miss Bauer made an excellent
showing in her test recently taken under
the instruction of physical director Ruther.
She lifted a total of 70, 295 foot pounds and
had an exceptionally high per cent in the
test, the time of which was twenty eight
minutes.
According to DR.. Sargent's test a pupil
must take all six exercises in one-half
hour. A pupil falling below the minimum
average in one test Is disqualified from
taking the other five tests until he i'm
proves enough TO reach at least the min
imum standard in the one test he or she
failed on
DR.. Sargent's system embraces little ap-
paratus and many advantages are claimed
for his system. In order that one person
and weight in any other physical measure
ment 1t is necessary that the same stand
ard of weighing and measuring be main
tanned. Likewise, to compare one person
with another in physical power and eff
cheney 1T is necessary that the same stand
ard of testing be constant. To-day much
of the scientific interest in various forms
of athletics as far as they indicate phys
ical ability, is lost because there is no
means of comparing not only the modern
with the ancient athlete, but the athlete
of to-day with the one of twenty-five years
ago. improvement in apparatus, in the

those of the near remote past by ath-

Many advantages are claimed for DIR.
Sargent's system. The feats of many So
called strong men are robbed of half their
value when one learns how the trick is
done. A little knowledge of animals, me-
chanics and the laws of leverage shows
the ease of many seemingly wonderful per-
formances. Each of the representative
strong men has special feats which are
peculiar to himself and it is exceedingly
difficult to get any of these men TO try the
speciality of another or take a strength
test according to intercollegiate standard.

ANTI-POOL BILL SCARE
TROUBLES HORSEMEN
Kentucky Owners Are Badly
Frightened by Prospective
Legislation.
WILL KILL THE SPORT

LEXINGTON. Ky, Jan. 30.-The sweep
ing anti-pool BILL introduced recently in
the Legislature, has created consterna-
ton, especially in trotting horse circles
here, as the passage of such a measure
Will have a lasting effect on the future
prosperity of Kentucky, and especially
the local trotting organization. For
years one of the greatest sources of rev
enue of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders Association has been the per-
centage derived from the sale of auction
pools, both the night preceding and the
day OF the races. In fact. but for this
income many of the meetings here which
have wound up huge financial successes
would have been run at a loss to this
association. On the Pennsylvania alone
in 1902 over $1,000 worth of pools were
sold, and, while the speculation on that
great race was a little lighter last year.
it was due to the fact that the field was
smaller and lacked the general high pres
sage of the array of brilliant starters
which faced the flag in the rich trophy
when OZanam led her competitors to
victory; Aside from auction pool privi-
leges, that of booking heat betting has
been another source of revenue to the
breeders association, so any measure
preventing wagering on horse races in
Kentucky means much to this club, which
stands in the front rank of organizations
devoted to trotting turf sports in America.
Those in the confidence of the official
circles of the breeders association reluct-
antly admit that there is much concern
over the fate of the anti-pool bill. If such
a sweeping measure becomes n law future
trotting meetings in central Kentucky are
in perilous situation. The game carried
on without the adjunct of revenue derived
from betting privileges means a reduction
in purses and in the value of stakes. as the
tracks can devise no other means of secur-
ing an income to Offset such losses. The
only hope would lay in the city and county
officials countenancing The offense, which
could have but one ending, laying the or
ganiZation open to future grand juries,
which is In itself sufficient menace to cause
a strict obedience IN II a law

FIGHTER OR "DUB," IS
MINER JACK MUNROE?
Ring Experts Testify to Both
Phases of His Pugilistic
Capabilities.
FITZ SAYS HE IS EASY

The mystery OF Jack Munroe will have TO
be solved by future events. Whether he
is a dub" or a diamond-medal fighter can
certainly not be judged from the testimony
of various experienced men in the lighting
game who have seen Munroe at work
Here are a few expert opinions on Mum
roe by critics:
Bob Fitzsimmons-I think Munroe will be
a mark for Sharkey. He was raw an
amateur when he fought Jeffries at Butte.
and unless he has improved wonderfully
since that time he is not in 1t with the
sailor. l hardly think ii is I'm the miner TO
be a top-notcher. AT any rate he can have
old Bobs game just as soon as Sharkey
gets through with him.
James ]. Jefries-I always have said
that Munroe is a cheap fighter, though a
tough young man. He is not a first-class
scrapper. If he whips Sharkey of course
he will command attention, but even IL he
beats the sailor that will not make him a
Sharkey, bad as he is reported TO have been
in condition, will beat the miner easily.
Here is a plain statement of facts con-
corning the miner and his debut into pugil-
ism at Butte by a wel-known critic:
Lucky Jack. the big Butte miner. He
must be called lucky. and is called so. even
by all the people who saw the bout he had
with Jeffries. 1 sat near Jeffs corner the
night il came off, and Munroe did not have
a chance with Jeff. While JEFF was toying
with Munroe in the second round Munroe
landed a heavy swing on Jeffs Jaw and
knocked the champion against the ropes.
This naturally put the house I'm an uproar.
Most of the spectators were miners, and
they couldn't see anything but Munroe.
If there was another round they would
have seen him on his back for the count.
"Munroe is a first-class athlete outside OF
boxing, having won n number OF games OF
football for the big Butte team. He never
a smokes o.
velop into a first-class third-rater, and
that's about all"
So much for Mr.. Munroe. Good men think
both ways about him. Ii appears certain
that at present Munroe is in no shape to
put up a battle with Jeffries for the cham
NiOnship.

nroyides that when the friends and pat

the trustees of any school shall issue their
warrant for like amount from the school
finds. then the State board of education
will appropriate SO as we'll, making to-
