All men are not constituted alike.

All men are not constituted alike.
That is an antique. Hackneyed say
ing. OF course, all men are not con-
stituted alike. Better say each man is
constituted differently" That is bet
ter.
To apply it to sport-this peculiar,
Indefinite thing we call SPORTS very
easy. All men do not look at sport as
the same thing. Sport is very broad
term. But first limit it to a display OF
physical perfection. and then the course
is easier.
With everything, music. painting,
there are many schools, or classified
lions of expression. 1t is the same with
sport, its baseball. its football, it's box
ing, It's swimming, its running.
With the arts. and with sport, there
are two large classified lions, why they
are nobody seems to know. With music
there are two schools, German and
Italian. Few men really like them both.
With art there are two, realistic and
impressionistic
Apply such a division to sport, and
find where it leaves us. There is only
one answer: There is the team work
and the individual play. So the man who
favors the former is a baseball fan or a
polo crank, or a football lover The man
who favors the individual play usually
holds boxing as a favorite, sometimes
wrestling.
Now the great pity is this There are
many team games. any variety of them
But the individual play is rare. What
is there besides boxing, wrestling and
the much neglected tennis?
A game which so mixes up things that
the perfection of the physical man can
not be seen is worthy OF no considera-
Fion. Football is such a game To wit
ness IL is only to see two masses of men
struggling against each other in a
muddle of arms and legs. Baseball
shows more clearly each players art,
more so, no doubt than any team play.
But what could be more beautiful
from the sporting point of view than to
see two men, their muscles unimpaired
by armor of any sort, contest in the
ring or on the mat? But boxing has
been almost ruined by lowbroWs.
wrestling is almost too brutal for gem
eral popularity. But where will we
turn?

branches of individual sport Take

bination of skill and strength, equally
proportional as in the athlete wht
vaults over a pole, runs dash, OF
bats a ball. Under such conditions
there would be no prize fighting ques-
ton such as today is worrying pro-
moters-
Our most recent example is that
of the fatal match at San Francisco
A life was taken and an innocent man
jailed But from the promoters view
neither of those things is distressing
The question is this: How will the
fatality affect the big battle July 4:
Nobody seems to be figuring out a
method to avoid more accidents owen
Moran had nothing against Tommy Nc
Carthy. They may have been rrlends
for all anyone knows. Mccarthy was
groggy, not from blows showered on
him by the Englishman, but on &C
count Of natural fatigue, the same ex-
perienced by the man who runs hye
miles.
Moran saw that his man was groggy,
he saw his chance-the chance al
lowed in the game-and then he sent
home his blow Mccarthy fell, out.
But that did not kill the young pu-
gilist 1t was the floor which had not
been properly padded. Whose fault was
that? Moran's?
1t was the misfortune of the writer
to witness the fight at Grand Rapids,
Mich, when Harry Lewis killed a
young Canadian named Ward. 1t was
the same sort of an affair, a groggy
man. a second wind, and a floor nos
properly softened-
In plain cold words it occurred like
this:
Ward raised himself from the floor,
where he had been sent by a hard body
punch. He stood on unsteady legs, his
hands down, standing half stopped,
standing and that was all. And then
Lewis, fresher and younger, stepped
forward and struck the man in the
face. struck a defenceless man whose
hands were down, who was all but
ready TO fall of his own weight
After Ward died Lewis said that he
feared t-possum, and prehaps 1t was
true But it queered the game in that
particular city, then q center for fight
ers of the middle west, producing Stan
lev Ketchel and other lesser pugilists.
1t may not have been the fault Of
Lewis and surely there is no just
blame for Moran; nor are the promo
tiers wholly responsible Most to be
blamed, no doubt, is the public itself,
and from it must come reform.
In the name of clean sport the re-
form must be made. and it must be
done soon

Sport By Long Bouts

II the good name of boxing be saved,
long distance bouts must go. And the
bad name of the sport means eventual
prohibition in every nook and corner of
the nation Only short sighted fight
promoters can deny it. Still they per-
sist in staging bouts of brutal duration
The men who rake in the coin never
stop until it is too late So it is up
TO the man who pays at the gate.
In itself, boxing is a fine sport. AS
every other sport it has its abuses,
but with boxing the opportunity IS
greatest, with the possible exceptions
of football and wrestling. With the
college game it has been necessary -
formulate complicated rules to curb
chances of accident. With boxing it is
not so. All that is needed in the ma
jority of cases is a fair mating OF
men, and the use Of well padded gloves,
but first in Importance, the fight OF
short duration.
There is nothing in sport more bru-
tai and degrading than long distance
work of any sort. It is bad enough
to see a Marathon runner come stag
gering over the line, his tongue OUT,
his face scarlet, and his whole body a
picture of agony and pain 1t is not
clean, good honest sport. Even worse
is it with the boxer who must give and
take for 40 rounds in game OF exr
treme exertion. Man at his best should
be the desire In every branch of sport
And man cannot be at his best when
the least fatigue is present.
Fore example. compare the grace anu
beauty Of a sprinter who dashes his 100
yards at the top notch speed, with the
long distance runner whose winning
quality is his ability to hang on at an
awkward pace and at awful physical
cost. Apply the same to boxing ana
note the similarity. Two men, equally
mated stand up and deliver blows,
ward blows, counter blows, and art is
displayed, also craft skill, science.
But after a few rounds that all wears
off Each go is entered with hesita-
ton, the crowd jeers, the fighters re-
spond with painful attempts to return
to that original form Then at last
the greatest in endurance succeeds in
planting his knockout. in summoning
his former strength for one last ram
against the bowed head of his oppo-
nent.
And what is that opponent? He is
a wreck, his body broken, all but his
spirit gone. Where is the glory, the
sport in such play? What is the re-
ward?
There have been few ring accidents
in few round fights. It is not force
of blow which floors. 1t is fatigue.
And boxing should not be matter

GRAND CIRCUIT Dr.
FERS BIC PURSES
FOR SEASON

The stake programs for the four
western meetings of the grand circuit
kalamazoo, Detroit, Cleveland and
Columbus-have been announced and
total up in the neighborhood of $780,
600. There have been few changes in
the stake events from those Of last
year, the most material one being the
change of the $4,000 trotting stake in
Kalamazoo from the PA To the 2:11
class, which viii let in lot of horses
which have previously campaigned and
taken in records on the mile tracks
All of the talk about radical change
IN the conditions of the Chamber Of
Commerce $1,000 stake, which is the
pacing feature Of the Detroit blue rib
bon meeting, came to naught. Back
in the middle nineties, when ID. J. Cam
pau was the controlling spirit of the
Detroit meeting, as he was Of the
entire grand circuit, he inaugurated
this stake, making it, like the trotting
classic, the NJ. and NJ for the pa class.
which practically means an event for
green horses. 4 lot of pressure was
brought TO Dear on Canpau to change
the class of both events, letting In fast

and NJ was concerned the Detroit ex-
ecutive turned a deaf ear to his advis-
erS.
The NJ. and NJ. was his pet stake 1t
was he who first announced it in 1889,
in the days of the Hight wheel sulky,
and it has become the classic stake of
harness horse turf Campau has now
passed, and new hands are governing
the destinies of the organization.
Last season a strong effort was
made TO induce the managers Of the
meeting TO change the class of the
Chamber of Commerce stake to slow
er class in order to bar out the little
stallion George Gano, who had shown
that he would walk away with first
money if he got to the post fit. Al
though it cost them many entries, the
Detroit people stood by their guns and
refused to put George GanO outside

When the anti-hObble agitation was
at its height early in the winter 1t
was semioficially announced that the
ciass of the Chamber OF Commerce
would be changed back to the time
honored 2:21 and also that horses wear
