While the custom of spring football
practice has been followed in the east

than in the past will the spring work
accomplish results. This because of
the chances in the playing rules, which
have a greater scope than any changes
made since the game was started in
American schools.
While punting, tackling and the other
rudiments of the game Will be taught
by the coaches the greater part of the
practice will consist of work on the new

IOHNSON'S CRITICS HOWL
ABOUT BIRTHDAY PARTY
Claim That Wine Flowed Too Freely
He VIII be There Just
the Same"

The very latest cause of complaint
against Jack Johnson, heavyweight
champion, is that at his birthday party
given by himself at his Chicago home
March 81 the wine flowed freely. Every
report emphasizes the fact, IF fact II
be, that johnson INDUCED freely in the
vintage himself and that the barn dance
that followed lasted for several hours.
Even if the big black man did re-
spGnd TO the toasts TO his health and
success, there are few of the real box
ing followers who viii care much At
months in which to get in shape for
his battle with Jeffries and that three
months Of training is enough for him
is admitted.
Used to a good time once in a while,
man like Johnson must guard against
becoming stale through a long period
of training. Athletes IN every branch
of sport are trained according to their
makeup inside and out On the college
training tables ale is given the men
who have been accustomed TO malt bev-
erages out of the football or baseball
season, as the trainers know they must
guard against their men getting stale
Johnson has announced that he viii
train himself because he knows best
what is needed to get him in top shape.
Not that ne intends to train on beer
and wine, but that his chance of win
ming will be lessened by a few cups at
sidered By those who know him. They
are kicking on him too strong.
Johnson is no mans fool. Few men
in the prize ring, past or present have
it on him IN smartness, and when it
comes TO fitting himself for the battle
of his career he must be trusted to get
in shape and get there as he sees best.

AUTO DEALERS MAY
FIGHT ON COAST
Head of A. A. A. Goes to Los
Angeles to Settle Motor
drome War.

New York, April 4.-While, on the sur
face, S. NJ Butler, the head of the A.
A. A. contest board, is supposed to par
ticipate in the opening of the new board
track in Los Angeles this week, in reality
his visit is due to the mixup between
the licensed and unlicensed dealers in the
California city. Some weeks ago Mr..
Butler announced that he would not
grant a sanction for any meet that was
not open to ali makes of cars.
This decision, it was thought would
settle matters, but apparently such Is
not the case, as the Los Angeles dealers
of licensed cars not only come out flat
footed with the assertion that they will
not compete with the unlicensed cars, but
have signed bond with each other to
forfeit s. 500 that they viii not enter "a
race in which an unlicensed car is started
This is said TO mean that the dealers
will even frown on factories racing cars
on the new board track motordrome.
There is also the big Santa Monica road
race. in whioh the licensed dealers are
anxious to take part, but which may be
held under the auspices of the Automobile
Association of Southern California which
is affiliated with the A A A and Is
willing that either licensed or unlicensed
ears compete. While the licensed dealers
are anxious to race, they still maintain
that they will remain out Of racing unless
the = A. A. modifies its ruling.
Chairman Butler, however, remains
firm IN the stand he originally took, but
thinks that If the matter were properly
expIained TO the California motorists they
might change their views. At any rate.

WASTING BALLS DOES
NOT GO WITH MI LEER

Washington, April 4.-Jim McAleer the
new manager Of the Washington American
league club, is opposed to the profligate
wasting OF balls by q pitcher in an ef-
fort to break up the hit-and-run play In
discussing the question in the Post Nc
Aleer says:
Pitchers of the Johnson, Groom. GRAY
and Walker type do not have TO waste a
ball TO prevent the hit-and-run plays. It's
a mistake, in my judgment, because no
batter living is certain of hitting those
fellows when they lay the ball straight
over the plate. I believe that If they are
just allowed to pitch at top speed with
men on the bases the hit-and-run plav
will be successful but seldom while If
the catcher asks them to waste the hall
as often as twice on a single batter thew
find themselves in a hole. and are finally
consoeiied to let up and put it over or
walk the batter.
"Of course, if a catcher was always
certain that the base runner was going
on a certain bali # would be policy to
waste it and throw. him out, but most
Of the time the eatchers err, and the
result is that they waste another ball to
make up for the first mistake. and the
pitcher is the one to suffer thereby
why. a pitcher of JOhnscns ability
ought to never waste a ball. When he
has man on the bases he needs merely
TO put on extra steam, and it will not
happen once IN fifty times that the bat
ter can hit the bail when he wants to.
Most ball games are lost because of the
pitchers wildness. He may not give bases
at critical stages, and then has TO let
up, and the system of wasting the ball
has been largely responsible for this state
of affairs -
