TRAINING TABLE AT U. s. c.

With their first hard game of the

improving every moment of their time
with hard practice and will be in the
best shape possible for the st. Vincent
u. S. c. miX-up Saturday Last Sat
urday's game with the Whittier college
brought some of the weak points of The
team to the surface, and the coaches at
the university have been striving dur
ing the past week to eliminate these.
How successful they have been in their
Efforts will be shown in tomorrow's
contest.
Since the first of the week eighteen
of the most promising of the football
SQUAD have been eating at a training
table. Manager Tom Clay secured
house within easy walking distance of
the university, and here the players
take their meals. i, 1t is also arranged
so that those on the training table
living too far from the school to get
there in time for breakfast can sleep
in the quarters at night. BY this sys-
tenn Cromwell and his assistants are
sure just what the players are doing
every minute and are able to enforce
training rules in a much stricter
manner.

round bouts will, however, not be
abandoned, though all the big battles,
involving championship or near
championship contests, will probably
be staged at the Vernon arena,
whether in a new pavilion or the pres

definitely decided. The short cards
proved popular all last year and as

Nelson Shows ShreWdness
This may not show that Nelson is
fearing defeat and that he is pre-

ring with him, but it does show that
he has a respect for the fighting quail

sesses for no other lightweight he has

the hardest in his career, and that

which by shrewd handling he has
always put away for a stormy day
Wolgast and Nelson are expected TO
be in Los Angeles within a fortnight,
though Nelson may delay his depart
IRE from the east somewhat longer.
The settlement of the hitch followed
the exchange of several telegrams be
tween Battling Nelson and Tom Jones,
manager of Ad Wolgast. and Promoter
McCarey. Nelson made his dehnlte
demand, and Jones, eager to secure
the match with the champion, notified
McCarey of his acceptance of $25O0 for
his portion, believing that 1t VIII
prove a good investment in the long
run to take a smaller share for the
privilege of getting a whack at the
championship.
New Arena Probable
McCarev would not commit himself
on the question of a new arena, but
in all probability a new building will
be constructed. The Jeffries arena is
badly in need of repair, for the boards
are warped, the chairs are broken
and missing, and the entire structure
is in a somewhat tumble-down con-
dition. A new building probably will
cost close to $4,000, so McCarey must
count on drawing at least $4,000 to
bring profit out of the battle. The
fans, however, have been anxious to
see this one scrap carded. Perhaps

Jud Smith made a nice one-handed

The silence ABOUT that Reidy person

isn't it lovely to see the manager and

Kelly is the human backstop. In the

tossed the ball to second, but there was

records between Chicago and New York
on the New York Central railroad for
trains carrying passengers were broken
today by special carrying Samuel New

trip here to catch a steamer for Europe,
where a brother Is dying. Approximate
ly the train travelled the distance in IT
hours and 30 minutes as against IL hours
which the Twentieth Century Limited
makes. the fastest tims on record east
bound between the two points.
The westbound record is still held by
the vanderlip special which made the run
to Chicago, March Is last. in 10 hours and
minutes
AS indicating the great speed of the
train today the run of 842 miles from
Chicago to Albany was made In $50 min
utes. An especially fast bit of running
was that between Rochester and SYRIA
cuse, the So miles being covered in 10
minutes.
The special reached the Grand Central
station here at 3:19 p. M. being delayed
through a series of slight mishaps as 1t
was nearing its destination. The exact
running time between Chicago and New
York was II hours and 46 minutes, thus
lowering the eastbound record by IA min
