BRITT AND COFFROTH

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. u-Jimmy
Britt and Jimmy Coffroth have been
close friends for years, but this friend
ship is broken, and they nearly came to
blows last night over Sam Berger, the
amateur heavyweight champion.
Coffroth was entertaining friends in a
Tenderloin resort when Britt strolled in
and was asked to join the party. The
subject of Berger's expulsion by the
Olympic Club came up, and Coffroth de-
clared Berger was a big stiff and
made a molly show OF himself. Britt

DOUGHTY WESTERN
WRESTLER COMING
Fred Bell Grants Next
Opponent.
GOT BALTIMORE MONEY
Cleaned up Monumental City Sports
by Throwing Americas Three Times
and Has Reputation.

Joe Grant has begun active prepara-
ton for his wrestling bout on Wednes-
day with Fred Beell
The match will be handicap affair
in which Beell wil1 undertake TO throw
Grant twice in an hour. That he Will
have hard time doing this is assured,
but that it is an impossible feat for him
is not SO sure. Beell sprang into prom
inence on December 2e In Baltimore
when he threw Americas three times,
the last fall being gained in three min
utes.
Americas is well known in Washington
as a, formidable light heavyweight
wrestler and the fact that Been was
able to throw him at all has aroused
a great deal Of curiosity to see just
what he looks like and TO get a. line on
his style Of work. He is described as
quick. active man with even more
strength than an ordinary wrestler. This
strength will be necessary when he
tries to bend the powerful neck of
Grant.
Known in West.
Max Wiley, who was recently thrown
by Grant, said that Bell had reputa-
ton in Iowa and other Western States,
where he had been downing good men
right along, but that ne mad never Deen
East. This ignorance about Beells past
was expensive to the Baltimore sports,
who bet several thousand dollars that
Americas would throw the stranger.
They are still discussing the match in
the Monumental City and it is probable
that a number OF the followers of the
mat game there will come to Washing
ton to see how Grant fares against the
man who threw their pride and got their
money.

Not Only Teams Leader,
But Represents University.
REFLECTS ON HIS TEAM
Caspar Whitney's Idea of the Qualii-

Ability Small Part.

Immediately after the close of each
successive athletic season the question
presents itself: Who should be cap
tain for next season?
What qualifications a captain should
possess is a much mooted question, but
one Of the best answers to the question
is given by Caspar Whitney, the woll-
known writer on amateur athletics, who
mas been waging a eeaseless fight for a

Caspar Whitney.
Under the heading, ''As the Captain,
So the Team Mr.. Whitney says:
Nothing so indicates the real temper
of a university toward sport as the type
of men 1t chooses for coach and cap
tain of its athletic teams. And of these
two 1t seems to me the captain more
fully reflects its real sentiment because
often the coach may have been selected
by nonresident alumni. whereas the
captain is chosen from the college
hearth, so to say, and is very properly
accepted by the outside world as the
choice among the chosen

spirit; II the leader is a foul player

lection of a leader It is also of general
university concern, for the captain goes

representative of his college.

Too little thought has heen given
this subject by the faculties and advis-

WANTS CYCLE RACES

To the Sporting Editor The Times,
Would you kindly give me space enough

do not nave the pleasure of seeing 1t

reader of it for a good many years, and
find that The Washington Times Is
the leading paper in Washington IN

such sport as that TGere seems to be
a good many swift riders in this city.
and l think it would be a good thing
TO start up the once famous game once

bicycle rider, would feel proud to have
a medal put on his breast with the
words Champion of the District of

understanding that he is to defend it

IL would be the most interesting and
the leading sport of this city, because
Wasnington is, no doubt, full of good
bicycle riders and they would give each
other hard time for the keeping of the
medal If the District or Washington
has no such thing as champion rider
and The Times viii start it b. putting

When Charley Seitz galIoped down the

was added to the list of worlds record
holders
Inc reports sent out from New York
that evening stated that the Blue and
cray Splinter had won the American
, championship in record time. but they
said nothing about the fact that he
started one yard back of scratch and in
place OF equaling the record of sixty
yards he practically established a new

athlete had negotiated more than sixty
yards in 2-5
No Sixty Yard Record.
Since that time there has been con-
siderable discussion on the Heights
about whether or not the Amateur Atr-
ietic Union viii accept Seitz' time as a
new record for sixty-one yards
That the A A L. will take any such
action is highly improbable. When the
Pastime games were first arranged there
were several races of unusual distance,
and there has been so much adverse
criticism of having any other than
standard distances that there seems to
De no chance that five or even ten yards

did not consider the question of giving

That Seitz should have jumped out
ahead of the gun and be penalized a
yard was most unfortunate, and It prob
ably cost him record, but there is no
good reason to believe that he will be

one yards.
