There is but one man in the
world who has thrown 16 pound
shot 40 feet 6 inches, and he put
in 10 years hard work and con-
slant training before he accomplish
ed the feat. The holder of the 16
pound shot put record is VIM. C.
Coe of Boston. Ralph Rose, the
California giant. holds the next
best record with AZ feet Z inches
to his credit.
Coe began his athletic training
in 1895. He was then 5 foot 10
inch youngster, raw boned, but with
abnormal strength. In 1896 he
hurled the shot 80 feet 4 inches.
Young Coe trained faithfully rain

following year he had increased
the distance three feet three inch

Battling" Webster, pugilist, bet
ter known as the human punching
bag" has addressed a letter tot
Kid Parker, asking for fight with
the Kid, winner take all. Webster
is in Colfax at the present time.
The letter sounds like a joke.
Webster may be serious, or some
one who wanted to have a bit Of
fun may have gotten him to write
to Parker asking for the match.
The match will not come off at any
rate. 1t would be inhuman for
Parker to enter the ring with Web
ster.
Webster will be remembered as
the touted conner from Walla Wal
la. He fought in preliminary
with Dick Dyson, the colored boy,
some time ago. The referee stop
ped the fight in the second round
as Dyson was beating Webster to
death. Webster Is the fellow who
was peculiarly trained in Walla
Walla by some friends. With a
pair of horse boots on his legs so
he would not interfere, horse Cog
giles over his eyes so the wind
would not affect them, and several
horse blankets about his shoulders,
he was compelled to run 10 miles
every day.
In his letter, Webster said: 81

as any ones. l can whip you in
five rounds easy"
Kid Parker has received a chal-
lenge from one Professor Sunshine
of Chicago, but who is now in
Newport, Wash, asking for a

Sunshine asks that Parker fight
him 1876 or 1876 ringside. He states
he is the champion of Utah and

There are fewer signs among the

Still, there are a great many, or at
least, should be. There Is always
an understanding, however. No one
set of signs would do. as every
game Is played differently, accord
ing to your opposing teams style.
If your opposing catcher is throw
ing good, cut out trying to steal
and hit and run as much as pas
sible. If, on the other hand, the
catcher's throwing is bad. cut out
the hit and run game and try to
steal as much as possible. If a
man on your team reaches first
base and the game is close, know
whether the opposing pitcher and
third baseman are good on hunts,
or II the first baseman Is weak on
them. In other words, pick out the
softest spot to dump the ball.
