TROUBLES OF SCOUT

About one of these chaps in hun

owner he is applying to is hard up for
someone, to do scouting and vii! grasp

1.-The only men qualified for duty as
ing, are cld-time players or managers
who have seen the national game from
all angles. Men like Pop Arson. Pat
Donovan and Tom Mccarthy made adj
mirable scouts, because they have seen
all sorts of ball players. have been in
all sorts of ball games and know from
actual experience just what player
must be capable of before he can hope
to hold down position in a major
league lineup.
"A major league scout may be fine
judge of baseball talent. and may be
able to size up a winner in the bushes
at glance and yet be a fiat failure
as a scout. This same scout that IS
such an expert judge of players must
also be q diplomat if he is to succeed.

like the new Indianapolis motor speed
way was the decision promptly ar
rived at by Chairman Frank b. Hover
and Samuel b. Stevens, of the commit
tee. both of whom went to Indianapo
lis for the express purpose of seeing
lust how the existing rules would con-
form tosracing on that track. The COM
mittee realized at once that it was
utterly impracticable to hold so-called
road races over a specially prepared
track. even though it were a few miles
in circuit
The nervous tension of the drivers
is too great, to say nothing of other
possible dangers. AS a result of their
Investigations and quite apart from
the deplorable accidents that marred
the Indianapolis race meet, Mr.. Hover
has already made several informal sug-
gestions to the committee and modI-
fed rules for long distance track races

ENGLISH SCRAPPERS
BOUND FOR AMERICA
Harry Pollock Viii Bring Over Sid
Russell and Ted Nelson, Both
Said to Re Good Men.

NEW YORK, Sept S-Within the
next four weeks there will arrive in
this country from England, two fight
ers who are credited with being first
class men. They are Sid Russell, a
heavyweight of Australia. and Ted
Nelson a welterweight from the same
country. Harry Pollock, the promoter
of sports, who is at present in Eng
land, is bringing both fighters here and
according to a better received from
him, both men are wonderful pugilists
and will surely make a great showing
with the scrappers we have on this
side of the pond. Russell weighs $50
pounds, while Nelson boxes at 142
pounds
Nelson is the best man for his weight
in Australia. AS Pollock knows a good
fighter when he sees one, these two
men must be the goods or Harry would
not pay their passage here.

NEW YORK. Sept. S.-James j. Cor

histrionie talents. tn say nothing of his
tenure as champion pugilist some years
ago. has burst forth in righteous indig-
nation over the amusing Jeffries- John
son situation. Gentleman Jim is now
basking in the approving smiles of
genial British music hall audiences.
With true sauveness, Corbett has been
flatterng the staid and sport-loving
subjects of King Edward about the per-
feet build of their heavy weight ath-
letes. He processes to hope that the
championship of the big fellows divi-
sion will go to the island kingdom in
the near future. However, between

time to take dig CT so at the heavy

In addressing group of English

The press unanimously declared me
the winner. And the holder OF the
heavyweight title last week positively
refused to meet me over the longer
rc;ito and matched himself with Al
T~au man who is also pretender to the
heavyweight throne and to whom did
things that caused his seconds to carry
him out of the ring not long ago. No
one disputes my right to the title OF
light heavyweight champion which l
earned by defeating Bob FitZsimmons
who, in my estimation was the greatest
contender for pugilistic honors who
ever donned glove
OBrien most Willingly confessed to
the defeat recently at the hands OF
Stanley Ketchel but pointed to the fact
that several times since that event
happened he offered ketchel all the
purse money just for the sake of
return match
aspirations OBrien said that the only
time he had ever met Roller was when
the doctor stepped in the ring in Phil
adelphia and challenged the winner of
his bout with Ketchel. Asked about his
willingness to meet Roller in the ring
OBrien smilingly replied that he was
always ready to consider fistic propo-
sitions when backed by proper induce
ments. but that just now he was on
a trip bent on pleasure for his sister
and brother and that he did not come
to Seattle with any view Of issuing
challenges. If, however, any promoters
wish to see him on business, he, ike
Barkis, is willing.
O'Brien carries four trunks of
clothes of the latest cut, but his valet
is no longer on the payroll. Jack finds
ties. though the selection of a ward
robe for each day is dreadful bore.
