Yost's young football players are
growing rich. Yesterday the third Of
fer made inside nine weeks of more
than $1,000 for two months work
at football coaching was proffered last
years eleven. The University of CAL
ifornia offers Halfback Herbert Ora
yer, a Chicago boy, $1,000 for the
football and baseball season. He is
holding back, desiring football alone.
Western Tackle Joe Maddox al
ready has signed to coach the Univer-
sity of Utah eleven next fall for a con-
sideration Of $1,000. There is still an
unaccepted $1,000 coaching position
awaiting some lucky Yost man. A

to pay this for instruction in Michi-

Am I Right !?

TN ANOTHER column of T h e
i Jour n al to-day is printed a
communication from B. r. Budinger, a
member of the Turner bowling team
in the Minneapolis league, in which
the writer takes exception to a refer
ence, in a recent issue of h e J o u r.
n a ], to grooved alleys. Mr., Budding
err makes two points; first, that it is
no easier to make high scores on the
alleys referred to than on any others,
and, second, that 80 per cent Of the
alleys in the country are grooved to
certain extent.
This double-barreled argument re-
sembles the defense made by the man
accused Of breaking a pitcher he had
borrowed from a neighbor-In the
first place, he never borrowed it, and,
in the second place, it was broken
when he got it. The general impress
sion among bowlers who frequent the
Cooperative alleys is that alleys No.
7 and No. 8, especially thes latter, are
grooved to such an extent that any
man accustomed to bowling on these
alleys can make much higher scores
than on any others. Nichols, the south
paw Tuxedo bowler, has more than
once stated that a left-handed man
stood no chance against. right
handler on these particular alleys, the
grooves marring the accuracy of a
southpaw as much as 1t helped the
others. Men not accustomed to these
alleys naturally cannot make as good
scores as those who use them regu.
1arly, Notwithstanding the assistance

The second part of the argument

grooved, appears to be better founded

made upon alleys which have no
been planed for two years are accept
ed. No criticism upon the manage
ment of the cooperative alleys wa
intended by the reference to groovet
alleys in T h e ] GU !. Nos.
and 8, which are used constantly b,
the leading bowlers of the Mime
apolis league, naturally develop
groove sooner than those which ar
used by less experienced and less &C
curate men. The fact that other al
leys are grooved, and that records ar
accepted by the American Bowlin
congress without reference to the con
dition of the alleys upon which the
are made, however, argues the nee,
of reform in the rules governing
such records.

RECOGNIZE WEST AT LAST

meet at the st. Louis exposition. The
plan is to have the four men who finish
first in each event in the annual track
meets of the two associations, COM
pete in the intersectional event. This
will be the first time in many years,
perhaps the first on record, when a
representative number of western ath-
letes have met representative num-
Der of fasteners in any branch of COL
lege sport. The west has met the
east in football and baseball games,
track athletics, and rowing, but in
none of these sports, certainly not in
the latter two, have the contests been
"a fair test of the respective strength
of the two sections; In some cases a
single team or few picked men from
the west have met the combined
strength of all the east: in all cases
the westerners have been forced to in
wade the country Of the enemy, and
have consequently been at disadvan-
tage. This time the west, will meet
strength of each section will be repre-
sented in a contest on neutral grounds.
II any thing the advantage will be
with the westerners, who will not have
to travel so far as the eastern men.
It must be admitted, however, that
the east Is better prepared for the
contest than the west. When Molo.
ney Of Chicago was running over the
hurdles, and Dvorak OF Michigan COM
peting in the pole vault the west was
must stronger than it is now. Never
theless the west will make a creditable
showing, and has nearly if not quite
an even chance of winning.-Thor.

NEW PLAN PROPOSED
Novel Scheme of Play for Amateur
Golf Tourney

An entirely new plan for conduct
ing the amateur championship is un-
der consideration by the executive
committee of the United States Golf
association and stands a good chance
Of being adopted at the meeting on
April to consider the method to be
used at Baltusrol in September.
The new system, in accord with in
structions given at the annual meeting
last month, will begin with a qualify
ing round, but the arrangement of
medal and match play proposed is en-.
tirely novel, The plan is to begin
with an 18-hole medal play round in
which sixty-four will qualify. This
set will meet again at 36 holes, medal
play, on the second day, sixteen to
qualify.
Match play will begin on the third
day, all rounds to be at SO holes. This
arrangement has met with the appro-
val Of all golfers to whom it has been
submitted.

for every $3.50 feet.
Take fourteen players and man
ager this would make an item Of thir-
ty cents mile, which annexed to the
5000 miles would show a bill of $2,7OO
pretty steep figure. Kansas City will
have the longest journeys and will
travel something like 10000 miles
which means aneexpenditure of $4,000.
Columbus will ride about $3.50 miles
on the Pullmans and Bryce's pocket
book will be touched to the extent of
$2,634.
The Indianapolis outfit will gaze at
8,187 miles of landscape and turn over
to the starving railroads the neat little
sum Of $2,455.61. Tebeau will hand
over $2,43O for $500 miles. ST. Pauls
players will have the pleasure of sit
ting on plush chairs for 5000 times
1,760 yards and the treasury of the or
ganization will be depleted for $2.424.
Minneapolis rides 8,018 and lets go of
s2,405.4O. Joe Cantillon will have the
smallest bill, paying out $2,331.9O for
7,77s miles.
Theo Breitenstein, the veteran is
achieving fame with his stories Of the
game on the southern circuit
1.-THE funniest thing ever saw on a
baseball field,' said Brett" chap
pened in a game between two negro
teams at Memphis. It was scorch-
ing day, and several Of us who were
not on that day, went out to see it.
They played in an open lot, and I be-
lieve half the colored society Of the
south was present. The two teams
were uniformed, but they made up for
| it with enthusiasm, and averaged
about one fight to an inning.
The thing Z speak of happened In
| the sixth inning. The negro at bal
| was one Of those short, heavy boys
with a head like a league ball at the
close of double-header. He was
| pitcher of his team. The other pitch
er had famed his last time up, and he
was evidently sore at his brother. He
was a long, raw-boned coon. He
wrapped himself up like a watch
spring, and when he unwound a dirty
streak would flash toward the plate
and something went whop! in the
catcher's mitt. Whenever they acct.

Much praise is due the Harriet club
for it's service in promoting interest in
the game, as well as for the rapid
progress in skill made by the players.
Percy. Page, formerly noted Cana
dian player, who has refereed most of
the games in Minneapolis this season,
says in regard to this point:
IT feel that it is doing but scant
justice to some of the Minneapolis
teams to say that have never, in one
season, seen such remarkable develop
ment in science and team work as that
shown here this winter.
