Maroons' Medical Adviser Sees
Few Dangers In Sports.

CHICAGO. Jan. 12.-''The fact that
college athletes sometimes die of an acute
Infectious disease is no ground for crit
icising athletics in general. Thousands
of other persons die of the same disease
and 1 should say that the athletes sue
cumb in spite of the fact that they are
strong and sturdy men rather than be-
cause of it,
This is the answer which DR. Joseph E.
Raycroft medical adviser of the depart
ment of physical culture and athletics at
the University of Chicago. gives to the
storm of criticism concerning college
athletics which the recent death of Cecil
Gooding. guard on the Michigan football
team has caused.
"As matter of fact Dr.. Raycroft
said, 1.-THE present system of training
athletes might be advantageously changed
in some particulars. The system is not
conducted on what may be termed scien-
are not necessarily the causes OF such
diseases as pneumonia typhoid fever and
appendicitis. to which. it is frequently
charged, athletes are especially prone.
The greatest danger of the present
system is the custom of breaking train
ing Men keep in strinct training for
weeks at time, They lead lives. Of
abstemiousness. They are restricted in
their diet. keep early hours and their days
are often regulated by the clock. BY
these means they are brought to a high
state of physical development They are
keyed up for some one contest and are
son.
'.Then the final game or contest is won
or lost and Immediately all restraint is re-
moved. They break training, and some
of them do it with a vengeance. Such a
course of action is enough to kill an
ordinary man and the wonder is that the
men survive the change.5rs
THE remedy for this state of things
ought to be easy. The training season
should be prolonged after the regular sea
son and the men should taper off in their
work and their training at the end OF the
season in much the same manner that
they lead up to it in the early season. A
week or ten days of light work would do
much to let the men down easy after a
hard season. AS it is the strain on the
athletes is a heavy one. The reports
from Ann Arbor that the members of
the football team have not yet recovered
from the effects of the heavy dinner
which they ate after the Thanksgiving
day game is a case in point"
Dr. Raycroft does not believe athletes
are more liable to contract certain dis
eases than the ordinary healthy man.

TOMMY RYAN WANTS
SILER AS REFEREE
Western Man Refuses to Accept Grow.
hurst as a Substitute.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12-There is a serious
hitch in the negotiations for the six-round
bout in Philadelphia between Tommy
Ryan. of this city. and Jack O'Brien, of
the Eastern city.
When the articles with O'Brien's sig
nature attached were received by Ryan a
few days ago they stated that he is to
get $1,000 for his end. with two round
trip tickets. A little further down the
document it was stated that Bert Crow
hurst is to be referee. That incensed
Ryan and he remailed the articles with
out signing them and sent curt note to
Crowhurst who is manager of the club.
In it Ryan stated that the agreement
was, when Silvey Ferretti made the
match for him, that George Siler, of this
city was to be the referee of the bout and
that he did not intend to stand for any
one else Ferretti said today: Grow
hurst is not only a personal friend of
O'Brien. but is a business partner as
well. A dozen little things might come
up like fouls, that would cause Crow
hurst to make a decision, although there
was to be no decision if both men were on
their feet at the end. All we ask is for
OBrien to carry out what he agreed to
do when he was in Chicago"
The Philadelphia club is evidently try
Ing to dodge the expense of taking Siler
to Philadelphia.

TEBEAU HAS WESTERN
LEAGUE ALL TIED UP
Magnates Unable to Act Until Restraining
Order Is Dissolved.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Jan. 12.-The baseball
men in Lincoln to attend the Western
league meeting declare they will stay here
until the court proceedings brought by
George Tebeau to prevent the meeting are
decided. Owing to the injunction granted
the meeting was not held today. but Pres
ident Sexton has engaged lawyers and
will seek to have the restraining order
dissolved. Tebeau and his friends pro-
pose to have some sympathizer seek to
have the league prevented from using its
funds to fight the case, thus reducing the
contest to a personal fight between Te-
beau and Packard.
President Sexton and his associates
said tonight they had no other plan than
TO remain in Lincoln and fight the Te-
beau injunction when it comes up for
hearing next Monday. Their lawyers en-
couraged them in the belief that the court
will dissolve the injunction when the facts
are presented. Mr.. Sexton believes it is
not essential that formal league meet
ing be held to admit Lincoln and Sioux
City. A committee, he saiGl could pass
on the claims of the two cities and adj
nit them. Some of the members left the
city tonight, but will return Sunday

F|Tz THINKS THE
SAILOR WILL WIN
Red Robert Cannot See d
Chance for the Miner
From Butte.

NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-Bob FitZslm-
mons has very exalted opinion OF Tom
Sharkey's fighting ability
"Sharkey is one of the most danger
Gus fellows L ever fought" said Fttzsim-
mons. Il met him twice and l found out
that 1 had to watch him like cat.
There is never any way of knowing what
he may do next when he is in corner
because he don't know himself, and he's
got a wallop that will knock mans head
off if it lands right
The only way to fight Sharkey is to
watch him close, never let MN get at you
at all. and knock his head off when he
is coming at you.
TT takes a man who can punch hole
in him to beat him, and that is the only
way it can be done.
"Munroe? Just you wait. Sharkey will
wallop Munroe alongside the jaw the
way he did Rubin and there will be an
other sick miner"
"Munroe has improved since you saw
him in Montana was suggested;
Fitzsimmons shifted and looked far
away.
.Wen. he'll need a lot of improving to
beat Sharkey. The sailor is as hard a
game as 1 want to find. and no amateur
is going to have the Wallop needed to put
him away with.
There's only one thing I hope. and
that is that Munroe will have fair
chance. and there won't be only Wyatt
Earps around. If Munroe 1ickS Tom,
guess I'll have to take chance at the
miner. I'd rather fight him than take a
chance with Sharkey. anyhow. Last time
Tom and l fought he landed one on me
just the way ne did on Gus Rubin, and
nearly cracked my head. He's danger
Gus fellow, for he doesn't fight like a
boxer. He swings so fast that he is apt
to land one any time when you aren
looking for it, and then the next thing
you know you are listening to the count.
1T takes a fighter to lick Sharkey.'

CANS GETS DECISION !.
OVER FITZGERALD
Boy From Brooklyn Missed His Chance
in the Ninth Round.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 12.-Joe Cans
the lightweight champion. was given a
well Inherited decision over Willie FitZ-
gerald, of Brooklyn, at the end of their
ten-round bout before the Metropolitan
Athletic club in the Light Guard armory
tonight. He knocked Fitzgerald down four
times, forced the fighting most of the
time and landed more effective and more
powerful blows.
Fitzgerald had the better of only two
rounds. the fifth and ninth. In the fifth
his blows to Cans stomach checked the
colored mans aggreSSiveneSS perceptibly
and slowed him. Early in the ninth round
Fitzgerald landed terrific left swing full
on Cans jaw and staggered the champion
Cans. however, hung on and Fitzgerald
instead of following up his advantage with
blows to the stomach, swung repeatedly
for Cans head and missed, enabling the
colored man to recuperate. Again in the
last half minute of this round Fitzger-
aid landed a hard left swing on Cans
head, but the bell rang before he could
follow it up to any advantage.
In all of the other eight rounds Cans
showed a most decided superiority. He
knocked Fitzgerald down in the first round
with short right swing on the jaw, in
the fourth with another punch on the
jew, in the sixth with a terrific swing to
the same place and again in the eighth
with left-hand blow on the jaw. He
kept. up a constant hammering of the
Brooklyn boys ribs, also forced the fight

had landed hard left swing and followed
it up with another. Cans was plainly dis
tressed and clinched and hung on at ev
cry opportunity. Fitzgerald's seconds
were crying to him to play for Cans body
but the Brooklyn lad endeavored to reach
the champions jaw again and repeatedly
missed swings and ran into clinches. This
was Fitzgerald's one opportunity and he
failed to improve it by his fruitless at
tempts at the champions head Cans was
