WALC0TT GREATER
Barbados Black Has Never
Had an Equal in the
Ring.
lBy James j. Corhettl

(By James j. Corbett)
You hear a lot of talk about tn
greatness of Joe Cans and the it'll,
chance any OF the present-day light
weights have against him. Joe /.
about all his friends claim him to be
but when they talk about him beins
the biggest little man the world ha.
ever seen they are OF the wire.
Joe Walcott in his day was thu
greatest fighting machine for his siz.
this or any other country ever saw
He had no limit to his ability.
The Barbados black was hard
man to get to train, but when he 20,
down to work and put himself In
shape for a battle he came pretty
close being winner with any of the
big pugilists except the man who held
the title, and shall never forget the
day that Tom O'Rourke wanted to
match him against me.
ORourke had come to believe that
Walcott was unbeatable when in
shape. He disposed of Australian
Jimmy Ryan. Mysterious Billy Smith.
Australian Billy Edwards and Dan
Creedon in quick succession.
Then O'Rourke succeeded in get
ting on match with Joe Choynski.
For five years Walcott had been after
him, but could never get him into a
match. Here was virtually light
weight hitching up with a heavy
weight. What would be the outcome :?
The betting was at odds of to /
on Choynski. and even Choynski told
his friends that it was a shame to take
the money.
The night of the fight arrived and
the big house that was expected never
materialized. The people all thought
that Walcott didn't have a chance.
Choynsh when he saw the crowd de-
manded his Is per cent of the receipts
before going on.
With big John L. Sullivan in back
of him and a lot OF other friends,
Choynski entered the ring as con-
fident as a bull terrier.
Walcott was prepared and coached
especially for Choynski, and no SOON
er did the bell ring than Walcott was
after him like shot. Oh me. oh my!
At the end Of seven rounds Choyn-
ski resembled a piece of steak after
1t had made its way through a sausage
machine. The referee took mercy on
him and stopped the affair.
Wa1cott admitted after the fight
that he had never been in such excel
tent condition before in his life.

BASKET BALL IS A
SCIENTIFIC
GAME
It Was Invented by DR.. James
Waismith Nineteen Years
Ago in Massachusetts,.

Basketball. invented by DR.. James
Waisnith. and first played by the train
ing school team Of the Springfield
Mass.) y. NJ. c. A. in 1891, has long
since passed the stage In which 1t was
met with jeers and laughter. and has
successfully filled the inventors idea
in working out the sport-that of fill-
ing out the gap which came in attn
letics between the fall football season
and the spring baseball season, and
now stands as one of the recognized
sports played by the Y M. G. AS.
universities, schools and athletic clubs.
and think can be said to be the best
winter sport now in existence.
The game has undergone radical
changes. and only the fundamental
principles of the game played by the
Springfield team remain. The contest
as it was first played required nine
men on 4 side-three centers, three
forwards and three backs-and these
rules were kept in force for the first
four years the game was in existence,
when the number of players on side
was cut to seven. dropping the for
ward and the guard. and two years
later. in 1897. the team was cut to
five men, two forwards, one center and
two guards. the feeding" center being
omitted.
The game as it was played even as
late as 1897. was simply a harum-
scarum scramble, with little or no
team work; each man played the ball
when and where he pleased, and it
was not until the advent Of the pro-
fessional coach. which was about In
1900, that the game was reduced to
the scientific basis il now holds.
The game as it Is played now, first
began to develop in 1897, when the
number of men was cut to five, and
some idea of team work began to take
hold OF the players. In 1900 the pro-
fessional coach made his appearance,
bringing with him signals and team
play. and the game began to shane
itself into a scientific contest. instead
OF mere tumble Of players. The men
were assigned to regular positions and
had their regular duties to perform;
passing was made into some order, and
goal shooting was developed to q high
degree. Then the rules of the game
were put into a more definite form,
and the present form of the game grad
ually began to shape itself. The middle
west, although much later in taking
up the game, has developed it to q
much higher degree than in the east,
and the contests played here are much
freer from roushness and hard playing
and team work than the ones In the
east, either in the colleges of the Y. NJ.

FOR NEW HOSPITAL
Site Near Farview- Park Chosen for
Norwegian Institution.

After considering several sites, the
management Of the new Norwegian
Hospital association decided last eve
ming to accept the offer. of the North
Side Commercial club for the block
bounded by Lyndale avenue and Sixth
street and Thirtieth and Thirty first
avenues n, one block north Of Farview
park. The tract is on ridge, with a
fine grove of oak trees, and contains
about three acres. It is valued at
$4,000.
The offer of the South Side CONNER
cial club to donate a block of land at
Franklin avenue and the river, near
Riverside park, was abandoned. It was
deemed the wiser plan, in view of the
large number Of hospitals in South Min
neapolis, to take advantage of the
North Side offer. There are no hospi-
tails in this part of the city,. while
there are six in South Minneapolis.
.It is the intention Of the management
to break ground for the main building
this year. There is $4,000 on hand,
which was secured without solicitation,
and now that asite has been secured,
an active canvass. for funds will begin
at once. The main buildings will cost
| inward of $100, 900.
