Grammar School League
Will Furnish Good Ball

More interest is being taken in
schedule of games arranged among
the grammer schools this year than
ever before. Only two games have
been played so far; Monday night
when the Green Park nine defeated
Baker school and last night when
Washington triumphed over Lincoln.
The results of these two contests
though, show that the race for hon.
ors is to prove interesting. 1t is sur
prising the amount of good material
that is developed from these teams.
All mines have coaches and are
worked out in a scientific manner.
The result is that exceptionally good
ball is played.
Though Berney school is not in the
league this school is represented by a
fast nine which promises to be heard
from before the season is over. The
instructors Of all the schools take a
great interest in the athletic events
and at each game the teachers are
to be found mingling with the chill
dren and roofing as though the Sue
cess of their team depended on the

Peach trees are in full bloom this

of the blossoms and trees shows that

Punches Famous in
Pugilistic History

One who IS in the habit of attending
glove contests must have noticed that
the average fighter elevates his left
shoulder and sinks his, chin directly he
strikes an attitude in front of an ad-
versary The pose has become almost
universal and it is the result of train
ing camp warnings and latent fear of
the dread rightcross.
other provisions against visitations
from the right-cross have been devised,
and as consequence, while this ia
NOUS punch is in no danger of becom-
ing obsolete it has been packed away
in lavender for the time being. Any
one doubling this has only to recall
what has happened in recent glove con-
tests of magnitude, and then a big
The right uppercut is considered the
most effective punch known to modern
pugilistic kind.
A blow of that kind enabled AID VOL
CAST to take the champ 0hsnip away
from Battling Nelson. 1t did not send
Nelson to the floor, but it bruised his
face into an unlOVely mass and 1T
Slapped his strength. 1t was the right
uppercut that scored for Jack Johnson
every time he faced a ring rival and
it was a right uppercut that made Sam
Langford the bcgy man of both the
heavyweight and middleweight classes.
Billy Papke, who is the typical
fighter of the American school, is at
his best when using the lifting punchs,
and Joe Cans in the closing fights of
his career, used his right in uppercut-
ting more than in any other way.
| 1t is a Furnishing blow and hard
one to circumvent and while the writer
believes it figures more in prize ring
victories nowadays than any of the
other punches known to the noble
art" no attempt is made to claim that
the uppercut is an innovation.
There was a discussion recently in
England as to the Inventor Or intro
Queer of the uppercut,' and a British
critic pointed out that the uppercut
was in use over 100 years ago. He
said that when Samuel Elias, known as
Dutch Sam, and Caleb Baldwin, "the
Pride of Westminster" fought in Eng
land on August I, 1884, Baldwin used
the uppercut to advantage and that
Ibis upward blow told dreadfully on
Dutch Sans face"
! In the face of this the British sport
ing writer says it is absurd on the part
of Jack Johnson or Jim Corbett to
claim patent on the uppercut. He is
right.

SAN FRANCISCO, April (Which
is the most effective punch known to
/ modern pugilistic science?
| This question came up at chance
gathering of sporting notables the
other evening, and when each of them
present had had his say, the argument
remained unsettled
| Among laymen, it is like the old con-
troversy-Which are the prettiest, gray
eyes, blue or brown? There are lndi-
vidual fancies in such. matters and
''you pays your compliments and you
takes your choice"
| If you leave the question OF the
most effective punch to. a number of
prominent fighters. there is likely to be
a hung jury. Each fellow would
boost for the blow he loves best.

would hold that the right cross is the
punch that brings home the money.
Jack johnson would say "the upper
cut for mine
| Bat Nelson would say, take what
you like, but leave me the half-scissors
hook" whatever that is
| Abe Attell would probably declare
the straight left hurts more than any
thing else.
| Bob Fitzsimmons would probably
ask time to decide which of his favor
| tie assaults, the left shift or the solar
plexus punch, wrought the most In
jury to an opponent.
| And so on.
Each one of these fellows would be
sincere in his ideas, for there are spe-
Icialists in pugilism as in other lines of
work and it is but natural to swear
by the thing you do best.
Looking back across the years It
seems to the writer that the old famil-
lar right -cross-the crack of the dexter
glove which takes man on the chin or
maybe a trif1e more toward the ear is
the blow that budding champions have
been taught to pin their faith to. The
lesson of recent championships, how
ever, is that the right-cross is falling in
disuse. 1t is hard to figure out how
such changes are worked, but it is
just possible that time, which is always
lengaged in healing work, has devised
so many antidotes for the right-cross
that our modern ring men think it is a
waste of time to wait for openings and
have turned their thoughts to other
methods Of lecture.

SAY REPORTS ARE "VERlEST
ROT" ABOUT DAMAGE TO ROAD

SALT LAKE, April 5.-Reports to
the effect that the recent storms have
wrought such damage to the Lucin cut
off and that the old Promontory line
was to be rebuilt with heavier rails are
denounced by Vice President and Gen.
eral Manager w. H. Bancroft as the
''verieSt rot The late storms, he
said, had washed out some of the dirt
in the embankment at the ends, but
the trestle work has not been injured
in the slightest. All the dirt work will
be replaced as rapidly as possible with
rock riprapping and trestle work and
when this is completed the cut off will
be in better shape than ever.
Continuing he said:
Stories sent out from Ogden that
the Promontory line was TO be re-
laid with heavier rails to be operated
as the main line were unauthorized.
THAT track is now laid with as
heavy rails as some of the transconti-
mental lines now in use, and there is no
occasion for relaying the track which
is to be maintained for emergency
purposes.
you may say that the Southern Pa
cific does not intend and never has
intended to abandon the Lucin cut off"
