slated for, and in the meantime will
be kept busy harvesting his orange crop
off the Glendora ranch.
Neither the biting breezes of fall
nor the SHOWS of winter can chill the
enthusiasm of the true baseball fan
For days after the season has closed
habit leads him in the direction of the
deserted ball park, where he has spent
so many happy hours, and he gazes
as mournfully upon the closed gates
as the banished Peri must have looked
upon the guarded portals of paradise.
Long before the spring training quar-
ters have been decided on the baseball
bug is busy figuring out the many
reasons why his favorites should
clinch the next seasons pennant. The
Giant dope artists have long been
busy. The fact that Chicago must
regenerate it's team and that New York
finished ahead of Pittsburg in this
years race is ample excuse for the
Manhattan enthusiast to figure that
the men Of McGraw are pointed for
the championship of 1911. The early
signing of McGraw, Mathewson,
Meyers. Devore and Schafer has given
the fans more material for rejoicing.
Probably John McGraw doesn't know
himself what the Giant lineup will
look like next season, but many of the
Polo ground patrons have the matter
settled to their entire satisfaction.
Meanwhile for them time crawls on
leaden feet, and they impatiently exist
through each passing day while wait
ing for the stars that rise in the base
ball sky at the opening of the train
ing camp.
It is expected that Princeton uni
versity will enter crews in intercolle-
iT1or
Carnegie lake has been available there
has been plenty of interest in rowing
at Princeton. Glass regattas have
been a success, and during a college
generation Of rowing practice some
good oarsmen have been trained in
Tigertown. The only things which pre-
vented rowing becoming a varsity
sport were a lack of men interested este
and the possibility of stunting other
teams by enrolling crew candidates.
When the next legislature convenes
at Albany, N. Y, a bill will be intro
duced legalizing public boxing exhibit
tions of a limited number of rounds
before incorporated athletic clubs.
Several we'll known boxing enthusiasts
are behind this measure and have re-
ceived assurance that it will meet with
some approval. 1t is understood that
the bill will include a provision for
state boxing commission to be COM
posed of three members to be ap-
pointed by the governor and whose
duties will include the issuing of Ii
censes to clubs of recognized stability.
The trainers of the bill believe that
clubs should pay high fees for licenses,
say $1,000 a club annually, with per-
centage of net receipts to be collected
as a state tax, the entire money thus
realized to be turned over to the
states charitable institutions. By ex-
acting big license fee and a tax it
is figured that the proposed boxing
law would bar fly by night clubs from
operating and would limit the number
of legitimate organizations to compar-
atiVely few. a state commission, 1t
is shown, would also grant a permit
for each contest, so that it would be
possible to prevent battles that might
be termed "prize fights" because Of
the notoriety of the pugilists. The
commission would also have power to
frame rules governing the clubs which
would compel all contestants to be
physically examined by competent doc
tors: to appoint official referees, who
would have to show a thorough knowl-
edge Of how to conduct a match; also
to adopt a uniform set Of boxing rules,
STIMULATING the weight of the gloves,
the size of the ring, the time for
weighing and the limits in all classes.
1t is planned to limit the number OF
rounds of each contest to twenty rounds
of three minutes each, with compul-
sorry rule that referees must prevent
