earliest few weeks before the opening
Of the fall session, but CentraTs irno-
walton is the beginning Of a determined
fight 20 develop the excellent material
the school affords into a cham oion-
ship eleven.
The most important development in
scholastic athletics for some time was
the announcement yesterday that
Thomas Kirby who has for three years
coached Western Highs eleven. would
this year have charge Of the . street
schools team. Immediately upon his
acceptance OF the OFFER Kirby sounded
the call for candidates and practice Will
be maintained throughout the summer

the vacation season. Westerns team

It's hardness in starting TO work ana,
while a fast squad was rounded into
shape after Kirby took hold. the effects
or the late start were apparent
throughout the season and q marked
absence Of team work was largely re-
sponsibie for the loss Of the game with
the Georgetown Props which marks the
cir ak OF Westerns schedule.

TO have been a ten-round bout here last

Kemp was a novice in the hands Of

feeble that WalCott would walk away

good, asserted he was as strong as
ever. and had fully recovered from the
dangerous operation on his head last
winter that endangered his life But
that was hardly a sufficient reason for

Serious and Frequent Mistake.

The fact that an athlete feels good"
IS absolutely a different proposition
from being the goods. but. strange to
say, they their trainers, and the pub
lie very frequently confound the two
propositions. Take any old-time ath-
lete who has led a decent and temper
ate life, but has demonstrated beyond
all peradventure that he IS no longer
classy, and he generally feels like a
fighting cock. Not only that. he looks
we'll and is generally capable of great
ordinary endurance. and can give a
CredLabls account of himself in manual
labor or a rough and tumble fight-but
he IS utterly incapable of keeping the
pace in fast company in specialized
athletics.
Take CantillOn himself There is
probably no more healthy husky man
OF his q ge in America today than Can
JillOn, EGt he is well aware that he
could not play ball fast enough for p
Class = league. despite the fact lie can
wear out 50 Uer cent OF the ordinary

The Washington times., 1908-06-12
Cantillon's Weakness.

All this leads us TO remark again,
that we do not consider il was good
policy TO pitch Johnson yesterday. As
a supplemental proposition we may add,
we believe Canrllon is one Of the best
judges OF ball players in the business,
but do not think that he is a good Judge
OF an athletes condition.
There was not even the excuse Of
needing the money when Johnson was
tossed Into the box yesterday lie was
not phenomenal drawing card IN St
Louis as he undoubtedly would have
been on his first temperance in Wash
ingtOn- Further, the s.. Louis fans did
not know that he was going 30 per
form.
The result was what might have been
expected. Johnson was not himself
