The negotiations opened yesterday for

Papke and Frank Mantell before the
North End club are practically off. at
least so far as the Papke end of it is
concerned Papke demanded a $500

the guarantee but Papke has issued his
ultimatum. which is s25oO guarantee or
40 per cent privilege or no fight. The

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6.-Just as
things began to look up in the fight line
the promoters stubbed their toes, and
one match that was on is off and an
other match that was hanging fire is
as good as off Because of difference
over the articles, the Mission club has
called off the Cove Attell match. which
was to have been one half of the two
star event card for August 90
Attell, who is matched to go six
rounds with Jimmy Reagan in Oakland
on August II, insisted that he be given
the money agreed upon originally by
the Mission club, no matter if he lost or
ONLY made a draw of it with Reagan.
This the club refused to do, declaring
that if Attell lost to Reagan he would
not be the drawing card he would have
been had he not met Reagan.
Another hitch in the matter of for
feits also arose the club demanding
that Attell post 5000 for weight and
appearance. Manager Foley, on behalf
of Attell, asked that the club post a
similar forfeit binding it to carry out
all of the articles of agreement. This
the club refused to do, and as Foley
showed no sign of receding from his at

NEEDED REFORM N
METHODS OF TIMING
Records of Crack Sprinters Are Often
Ooubted-Present Method Is
Inaccurate and Un-
trustworthy.
(By Edward E. Bushnell.)

The frequency with which unheard-
of sprinters have been smashing world
records of late years has finally result
ed in a movement in both this country
and England to bring about badly
needed reform in timing methods.
Within the last decade there have been
at least four men who have been given
credit for running 100 yards in 3-5
seconds or better. These are Duffy, the
former Georgetown Splinter. who re-
ceived credit for his mark at the in
tercollegiate meet in 1909: Dan Kelly,
of Portland, Ore. reputed to have done
the same thing in Seattle in 1906; r.
E. Walker, the South African and win
ner of the 100 meters dash at the
London Olympic games. and finally
Nelson. a Washington state youth,
whom Pacific coast timers have been
hailing as a wonder.
Among men who have been follow
ing athletics for years there is a well
grounded belief that not one of these
four men ever made the time credited
to him. The only possible exception
to this is Arthur Duffey. who was uni
doubtedly superior to any Splinter
of his day or since. These same critics
are unanimous in the opinion that in
competent timers are sofely RESPONSE
BILE for these alleged records. In fact
the lax methods of allowing records
has stirred the athletic authorities Of
both this country and England to &C
ton.
There has just BEEN formed in New
York a Timers club, which has
charged itself with the duty of seeing
that only competent timers are ap-
pointed for at least the big meets. and
that every facility be given these men
to get the proper times, thus putting
an end to the wholesale manner in
which questionable records are allowed
to go on the books of the A. A. u.
The Englishmen have taken a step
in advance of this. The charge has
frequently been made in England, as it
could be made in this country. that
there is collision between the timers.
By this is not meant that unfair meth

to, but rather that the timers before
reaching a verdict compare their
watches. and nobody but the timers
can find out what the different watches
recorded. In order to stop the abuse
of this the English A. A. A at its last
championship meet in London ruled
that each timer should record on a
piece of paper the record of his watch
before consulting with the other tim
ers. This was done to put a stop to
the practice of the various timers de-
pending more on the watches of their
fellow timers than their own. The re-
suit has been to make each timer more
careful in holding the watch.
The need of more careful methods
in this country. is evident enough to
any one who has attended the big
meets of the country. For instance. 1t
is stated that at one of the indoor
meets. in New York last winter, one
athlete was given a new world record.
and the timers who allowed it were
dangling their legs from a table when
the start was made. Yet his did not
weigh with them in allowing the mark.
At the last Intercollegiate meet in
Cambridge the writer saw a similar
instance. 1t occurred in one of the
preliminary heats of the low hurdles.
When the race started the timers were
engaged in various occupations and did
not know the race had started until
they heard the discharge Of the pistol,
but they announced the time, never
theless. Fortunately. an occurrence of
meet. where the best timers are Sc
cured. 1t is hardly likely that it could
occur in an important final, but 1t
ought to be impossible even in a semi
final or preliminary. for a record made
in one of these heats is just as much
record as though it were made i'm
the final. In fact, the present inter
collegiate record of Is 1-5 seconds for
the 120-yard hurdles was made by
Shaw of Dartmouth in preliminary
heat
A. C. Kraenzlein. the world record
hurdler, insists that he was deprived
of world record in the high hurdles
at meet in Chicago some ten years
ago. According to Kreenglein's state
ment, three separate timers caught
him in, respectively. IA As, Is and
Is 1-5 seconds. According to timing
rules the timers should have taken
the middle time of Is seconds. But
there could be no excuse for such Il
divergence of records if the timers were
competent men.
After all the trouble there has been
in allowing records it is a wonder that
either the A. A. U. or the 1. G. A. A. A.
A, does not make some move toward
installing a system of electric timing,
as in the case of automobile racing.

FISH Commissioner IS
GOING TO MAKE GOOD
With new HATCHERY

Grand Forks, Oct. 4.-That State
Fish Commissioner R. w. Main will
accomplish things with the fish
hatchery located at Fish Lake in the
Turtle Mountains, is the opinion of
Clarence A. Hale, of this city, who
has just returned from visit to
that region. Mr.. Main now has the
hatchery building itself completed
and is engaged in making artificial
lakes around the hatchery. The next
matter will be the putting in of the
hatchery tanks and the securing OF
the spawn from the government. A
more ideal location for hatchery
than the one at Fish Lake is hard
to imagine Shell Lake hal an ele'
walton of 2S1a feet higher than Fish
Lake. and there fish but 1900 yards
between the two bodies of water.
The hatchery is located midway be.
tween the two lakes and the water
is carried by five-inch pipe to the
hatchery from Shell Lake and is then
carried on through similar pipe
to Fish Lake, gravitation furnishing
the power for the flow of the water.
In this way running water, which is
absolutely essential for fish, hatch
ing is procured at a nominal cost.
The fact that so fine a hatchery
could be built with the sl,400 pro-
yided for the purpose is due entirely
to Mr. Mains devotion and enthus-
iasm in his work, for large part
of the labor has been done by him
self, the chief outlay of money being
in the lumber. He now has several
different varieties of fish, including
pike, bass, yellow perch, muscallonge
pickerel and Northern bass. Not
only this, but Mr.. Main said that he
could take Mr.. Hale to one lake
where as fine rainbow trout as exists
anywhere could be caught. In an
other lake the perch are so thick
that the fish commissioner express
ed the opinion that a boat load could
be easily caught In two hours. Five
pound bass can now be caught in
Fish Lake, and in recent SEEMING
of Fish Lake to rid parts of it of
suckers, a Northern pike weighing
"a pounds and several weighing IS
pounds were found. In this clean
up Is tons of suckers were taken
out of the lake. This is the kind of
work Capt. Main is doing and which
in the future will mean much to the
state.
