coach, nothing gets by the vigilant and
active captain. And yet these men are
playing base ball only for the love of 1t
and for the glory and honor of the col
lege with which they are connected. Did
you ever notice how the college students
who are not members of the team root
and yell and rant themselves into tonsili-
It's and sore threats in their efforts to
pull their team out winner? III you
ever attended a college game of course
you noticed 1t. In professional base ball
the home fanatics are just as~enthuslas-
tic and often yell their heads of trying
to encourage a lot of players many OF
whom show prominent signs of not car
ing two straws whether their club wins
or not. Enthusiasm is one of the cardt-
nal virtues in any line of business or In
any profession. Without it the skilled
ball player Is of whole lot less va lue
than the player of ordinary ability. but
who is out there to win. Enthusiasm
and a liberal application of what many
please to term the college spirit did a
whole lot toward winning a pennant for
Detroit last season.

AL. KAUFMAN MAY
FIGHT TOMMY BURNS

Since Tommy Burns shook the dust OF
America from his boots there has not
been much doing in the way of heavy
weight fighting. Occasionally a battle
is pulled off. but aside from Introducing
Tony Ross Mike Schreck and men of
their llk, there has been little diversion
for those who like to sit around the ring
side to see the big uns pummel each
other. However. there will be little
excitement In the not distant future. AL
Kaufman is TO point his face in the
direction of the rising sun, to take on
jack tTWin) Sullivan in Boston While
a great deal of Importance does not at
tach to this contest 1t will be of inter
est IN that 1t will serve to demonstrate
whether Kaufman has improved The
Californian has not fought since he won
in three rounds from Dave Barry in
philadelphia last October. Kaufman
hshts altogether too infrequently, and
by pursuing this policy he permits him
self to be lost sight of to a considerable
degree. The record shows that in his
professional career covering less than
-FOUR years. he has engaged in only nine
battles of which he lost one. That was
when Jack O'Brien knocked him out in the
seventeenth round in his first year It's
case of long intervals between Kauf-
manns fights. and 1t would seem that
he Is losing valuable time in not being
''CIS oNN'N- Heie 10 nOlHlHS ike ex-
perience for a fighter. and no man ever
had better opportunity Of acquiring 1t
than Kaufman. with SO many dubs
knocking around the country True an
injury to his nose gave him some bother
but then there was no reason why his
bunged-up probOscis should have kept
him In retirement all this time. Terry
McGovern once had an operation per-
formed on his nose. and he fought few
weeks after Still, Kaufman is his own
boss. and on Billy Delaney's advice he
has been going slowly. Kaufman is
one OF the men against whom Tommy
Burns ultimately will have to defend his
title. The Californian is one Of the few
good heavyweights In the country. He
is young and ambitious. strong as bull.
and clever. too. and very game His
try-out. and 1T looks very much as if
Kaufman would strengthen his claim
that he Is in line for a fight with Burns,
for If Jim Flynn can trim Sullivan, De-
laney's protege surely should be able to
turn the trick. But Kaufman will have
to wait a while before the champion is
ready for him. Burns next essay will be
ing this fight he crosses the English
channel to meet some one in Paris That
means that the American hardly will be
back before the middle OF May. and when
he does return it will be to give Jack
Johnson a long-pronised crack at the
title. The situation probably will work
it's way out so that Kaufman will face
the winner of the JOhnson-Burns battle.
In the meantime 1T would be we'll If De-
laney gave his breadwinner little more
to do than he has in the past Kauf-
mann needs 1t in order that he will be
finished pugilist when it comes to the
crucial test.
