BURNS IN LINE FOR +.
MANY BOXING BOUTS
Hart, it Is Said, Grew Careless
and Did Not Train for
- Il ~ the Battle.

Journa. Special Service.
San Francisco, Feb. 24.-Burns, after
his decisive victory over Marvin Hart,
now occupies most enviable position
in getting matches. The Detroit, man
deserves all the credit in the world
for getting the decision, for Hart out
weighed him ten or fifteen pounds and
was supposed to be the best heavy
weight boxer in the ring today. Ac-
cording to the fight last night, Hart
will certainly have to do better 1t he
wishes to wear crown worn by JEFF
fries.
BY securing the decision over Hart,
Burns is entitled to all the honors the
Kentucky fighter claimed, and that, too,
due to his clean victory over him. Jack
O'Brien will now have another fighter
on his heels for a match for the heavy
4 weight laurels. The heavyweight boxer
will probably grasp the chance to meet
Burns, as he figured that he could
always beat him, and if this should be
the case, he would, have clear way to
Jeffries, as Burns victory last night
stamps him as claimant for them
Hart will most likely want return
match, but Burns will probably want
chance at O'Brien first, and he then
might consider another match with the
protege of Tommy Ryan.
It is now being claimed that Har'
, was in no condition. Thinking Burns
an easy prey for him, he probably
neglected his training and was heater
4 ON that account. If this should be th'
Z case, itSdoes not show any great worl
on the part Of his trainer and man

fighter, and at the same time pretty
shifty on his feet.
In the middleweight class he was
good, and now that he has grown TWEEN
ty pounds bigger there is no reason why
he should not be able to hold his own
with the big fellows. It was thought
generally that Hart ought to stop
Burns inside of ten rounds, and Tor
that reason his defeat came as big
surprise to followers of the pugilistic
game. After being under the tutorship
of Tommy Ryan for several months, the
fighter who made Jeffriesswhat he was,
it was expected that he would improve
enough to make Burns look like a
novice against him. But Hart, from
his work last night, has absolutely no
clear claim to being entitled to first
call on the heavyweight championship.

big grandstands, and along the ropes,
and at 3 o'clock, Thursday afternoon,
despite the unfavorable weather condl-
tions, at least 10000 interested specta-
tors were watching the contests. They
came from Chicago, the copper country,
the iron range, from Duluth, from all
parts Of Wisconsin and Minnesota, in
fact every adjoining state sent large del
egations. The railroad yards at Ishpe-
ming were filled up with special trains,
and at night the little stations were
crowded far beyond their capacity by
the outward bound visitors.
Scandinavian Sport.
While skiing is typical scandina-
Wan sport, there were >Irishmen, Corn
ishmen, Germans and Englishmen going
over. the bump and "standing or fall
ing' in the valley. The Scandinavian
riders showed better from hereditary
liking for the sport and longer expert
ence, but in few years it is not too
much to expect that those Of Scandi-
navian descent will find trouble in de-
feating the descendants Of Brian Boru
and kindred races.
The national tournament goes to
Ashland Wis, next year and the list
of runners competing is expected tc
be still greater than the sixty cracks
who contested at Ishpeming. This year
the runners were present from Ish
peming, Ironwood, Duluth, Chicago

cite, Ashland, Cameron, Superior, Rec

arise and the course keepers ran out

was hurried to a hospital and while
severely shaken up he was not seriously
injured. Striking upon the sharp slant
Of the hill, glancing fall, saved his
life. Old ski riders say they have never
heard of a man losing his life at the
game.
A Knack in Falling.
There is knack Of falling as well
as jumping. When the experienced
rider falls he looks to be homeless
thing rolling down the incline, in flying
clouds Of snow. The experienced riders,
the instant they fall, relax every muscle
and give themselves entirely into the
keeping Of the hill and the soft snow.
Few are injured. eff man attempted
to right himself his arms and legs
would snap like pipestems," explained
one veteran rider in discussing this part
Of the sport. -
"Form' counts for much in ski rid
ing and jumping, and upon this part Of
the sport great stress is laid by the
Judges and scorers. Some of the Rec

PECTACUEAR JUMPS
At BIC SKI TOURNEY
Tshpeming Contests Furnished the
Thrilling Features Of Last
Weeks Sports.

Ski jumping is America s most spec
tacular winter sport. The spectacle Of
the ski rider dashing down steep in
cline, ttaking' off, at the "bump'
and then sailing thru the air to alight
on the steepest part of the hill and
flash into the valley below is one which,
holds the spectator spellbound. Ish-
peming, Oh Thursday and Friday, en-
tertained the crack riders and jump
ers of the United States and the work
of these men was almost beyond belief.
The Jumps of such men as the Mang-
seths, Hendrickson, Tellefsen, Kulstad,
BYE, Eek, Iverson and many others set
at defiance all ideas of limitations OF
space in the line of self-propulsion. 1t
is almost impossible to describe them
almost impossible to believe the evil
dence Of ones eyes.
A High Hill Country.
Ishpeming is In a country of high
hills, but the ski run of that place has
been added to. At the top Of the
highest hill in the surrounding coun-
try the ski club has built. a 300-foot
long by 60 feet high runaway, or
slide. The ski jumpers climb to the
hiqh platform by means of a series OF
ladders. Once there they adjust the
wooden runners, start down the incline
and in a few seconds are shooting to-
ward the bottom Of the hill at break
neck pace. Far down the hill is the
"bump," compact mound of snow
with it's lower edge six feet high. The
runner slides down over this bump anc
STRAIGHT out into space,
The hill drops away in sharp de
scent below him and after the jumper
has gone as far as his momentum vii
carry him he begins to drop. Striking
upon the steepest part of the hill tn
force of the strike throws him up
right-or head over heels.
The lighting place must be steep t.
enable the jumper : to hold III
t'stand.' If he falls before passin!
out on his skis it is a perfect perform
count. If he lights safely and slide
out Of his skis it is perfect perform
ance. If a ski jumper attempted to Ian
upon a level stretch of snow he woul
perform series Of gymnastics riva
ing a professional aeronaut falling on
of balloon.
Falls Are Common.
Falls are the common thing. Thur
dsy afternoon it was reported, for

ANDY O. DEA ALONE
AS BADGER COACH
Sole Survivor of Loco Weed Eat
ing Banquet at Mad
ison.

Madison, Wis, Feb. PA system of
athletics (which shall be so
simple that no more coaching will be
necessary than what the gymnastic in
structors, team captains and graduate
manager can supply is what the anti
football members of the Wisconsin uni
versity faculty prefer, and the situation
here is rapidly developing to precisely
such a system.
The only professional coach now I'M
der contract here is Andrew M. O'Dea,
who for nearly a decade has had charge
of the badger crews. While he receives
$1,000 year as coach of the crews, the
money coming from the athletic associa-
ton, he also ranks as an instructor in
the gymnasium, receiving for such serv-
ices an additional $1,000 a year from
the board of university regents.
Need the Money.
The athletic association being prae-
tically bankrupt in view Of the pros
pect Of no intercollegiate football games,
his contract with the association as
professional coach will doubtless be soon
terminated, and if he remains it will
be as an instructor, in which capacity
his duties are to teach handball and
boxing.
The athletic directors two months ago
authorized a contract with Elmer Pierce
of the st. Paul American association
club to coach the baseball team, but
Graduate Manager Downer did not make
the contract, and the directorate at Its
last meeting decided not to press the
matter. Coach A. G. Kraenzlein Of the
track team surrendered his contract and
negotiations with Football Coaches King
and Holt have been abandoned. Platt
| Brush, captain of the track team, is in
charge Of the candidates for the base
ball team, and Captain Frank Waller
and Graduate Manager Downer will han
die the track athletes.
1 It appears that the students have
given up their fight to save intercol-
| legiate football. The wearing Of crepe
in mourning for the game has ceased.
Professor F. j. Turner and his associates
} who oppose the game will doubtless
bring about independent suspension ii

No Chance for Strong Team.
j At all events there is no hope Of a
/ strong team to represent Wisconsin, fol
professional coaches are impossible here

at best could not make much of show

SlDEllGHTS ON THE OREGON
ELECTION

In the recent Oregon elections, sew

strikingly indicate the operations OF

towns to even enact and amend their
own charters, subject only to constttu.

George B. Chamberlain Is a very nop.

advocate Of organized labor. The
friends OF these movements, of course
supported him regardless of party.
But Gov. Chamberlain advances 4
novel idea In further explanation Of
the phenomena; he declares his belief
that the people deliberately resolved
to elect divided administration In
stead OF turning their government
over to any political party. He be,
