Irish Athletes Are After
Westerns

Captain Dan o. Riordan of the Irish
American athletic club is very anxious
to. pit his team against the Western
clubs aggregation at any date which
suits that club.
Riordan believes the Western lads are
afraid of his athletes He has sent the
following communication:
= Recently there appeared in The
Call a challenge from the newly
organized Western athletic club, in
which it expressed a desire to meet
any other club in an all around
open air contest. This challenge
was at once accepted by the Irish
American club, but the Western
seems to have had an attack of cold
feet, for all efforts to arrange a
meet have been fruitless.
Now, on behalf of the Irish-Amer-
lean club, / hereby challenge the
Western club to a general field day
contest to be held any available
date after May 8, said contest to be
either between individual repre-
sentatives of each club or between
any number satisfactory to the
Western club.

ENGLISH PRESS IS
LOOKING THIS WAY
Proposed Visit of Cambridge
Oxford Rugby Team to the
Coast ExcifeS Comment
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

Almost every athletic paper in Great
Britain and Australia is at present
giving unlimited space to articles on
English and Australian mails brought
to hand numerous papers with men
ton of this subject and there is no
doubt that the Rugby men of these
countries are beginning to look upon
California as a coming power in the
Rugby world.
Such papers as the Athletic News of
Manchester, the Sporting Life of Lon
don, the Sydney (Australia) Referee,
the Queensland (Australia) Sports OBJ
ognized authorities on the game, are
devoting a lot of space to the game as
played here. The Sporting Life goes
very fully into the proposed tour of
the combined Oxford and Cambridge
universities to this coast this fall. The
writer of the article is of the opinion
that the time of the year is inoppor-
tune for tour of the English univer-
stiles, but at the same time urges the
English authorities to make every en-
deavor to bring the trip to a successful
to the problem in order to make the
trip reality. He says:
In recent seasons it has been fire.
quently suggested that the university
Rugby match should be played in the
Lent term like the association en-
counter. There are various excellent
arguments in support of this proposal,
not the least potent being that ad-
Vanced last season, that there is con-
siderable slackening off and apathy in
Rugby circles at both universities after
Christmas. If it were found possible
to put the match over to the Lent term
next season California tour. would do
the universities no harm. and the game
on the Pacific coast lot of good.
The Sydney Referee has over a COL
umn devoted to the game here and
goes at length into the Oxford Cam
bridge trip here. The Referee also
sees obstacles in the way of an Oxford
Cambridge tour at so early a date.
1t says:
Nothing can at present be said as to
the attitude of the English universities,
and it is fairly certain that the way
games in California next October would
be found not altogether free from diff
ficulties. If the best Oxford and Cam
bridge players spent the first six weeks
of the season touring in America the
captains would be severely handicapped
together and drilled into sound, work

match at Queens club early in Decem-
ber.
The Athletic News of Manchester is
already predicting the visit to Great
Britain at no distant date of teams
from California. 1t says:

johnson Begins Work
ISpecial Dispatch 10 The Call

CHICAGO. April 1O.-Having filled
all his theatrical engagements until
after his fight with Jeffries on July Z.
Jack Johnson will begin work tomOr-
row at his training quarters on the
south side. Upon his return from his
Canadian theatrical engagements the
champion busted himself in making
preparations for what he called the be-
ginning of his hard training cam
paign.
While in Canada Jack signed Tom
Flanagan. the old trainer of pedes
trians, bicycle riders and lighters, 70
condition him. Jack has been great
admirer of Flanagan's ability to get his
charges into condition, and il did not
take the champion long to get Toms
consent to take personal charge of the
champion as soon as he arrives at his
training quarters at Ocean Beach, Cal.
Another acquisition was made to
Jacks group of trainers when Johnson
signed up Joe Rogers. the wrestler. to
help him in training. Rogers. who
commonly is known as the American
Apollo, is one of the biggest men in the
country. He weighs close to 300 pounds
and is fairly active for his weight.
Besides being a good mat artist, ROg-
ers can go a few with the gloves, and
johnson believes the big fellow will do
him a lot of good
Kid Cotton, Joe Choynski's pro-
tege. will join the champions camp
tomorrow. and Jack asserted that he
would go or 10 rounds every day
with him. Monte Cutter, who has been
Jacks sparring partner in his theatri-
cal work. will d,n the mitts with the
champion in short bouts. Johnson
signed contract today with Hammer
stein, the eastern theatrical man, to
show at the Victoria roof garden the
week after the fight.
Jack was little perturbed today when
he was told of the betting on the big
fight, and he said it was only natural
for fellows like James j. Corbett, who
have felt the sting of Jeffries' blows. to
bet their money on the boiler maker.
Let them keep on thinking Jeffries
will beat me and I only hope the odds
on the day of the fight are 10 to Z or
to 1 on jeff. If this is the case there
will be plenty of Jack Johnson money"
said the champion.

too great an accident or a dramatic Sltua-
ton is shown by suggestion rather than
by stimulation. In one of the recent films
the herone's horse runs away. The hero,
of course. is hot in pursuit; but, in attempt
ing to save the girl, both are thrown, the
man being horribly trampled upon by the
horses This could scarcely be simulated IN
the picture; so the fact that the accident
has occurred is conveyed with convincing
effect in one picture by the actions OF the
spe -tators and in the next by the sight OF the
victims living on the ground and the horses
running off riderless.
Thinks 1t Won't Last
DANIEL FROHMAN expressed the opln-
II ion not long ago that the moving picture
would not last Admitting that it was still
in a transitory stage and would undoubtedly
increase in interest and merit within the
next years, his prophecy was that ultl-
mately it would gradually fall into disfavor
and oblivion Naturally. being a theatrical
manager himself, his wish was father to the
word; yet his position lends authority to
his views.
The moving picture is in state OF transi
ton. Its development has been wonderful,
it is true; but only as compared with Its
start 1t may be that the present tabloid
film drama will before long lose its present
hold upon public favor. Human passions.
hopes, and sorrows are subjects far too large
to be treated adequately in even a thousand
feet of film. The concentration OF the plot
