PURGE GAME OF
FAKE WRESTLERS
CHICAGO SPORT WRITERS START
MOVEMENT TO WIPE OUT
ABUSES OF ONCE pop
ULAR SPORT.

Chicago, Nov. 2G.-Chicago sport
writer's are starting something OF a
crusade against fake wrestlers They
have started hue and cry TO drive the
crooks out of Chicago and TO cooper
ate with sporting writer's and promo
tiers i'm other cities, 60 drive them clear
out of the business.
II is a move in the right direction,
as wrestling, honestly conducted. is "a
good game and since the decline Of
boxing, is taking top rank in popular
ity with the followers of athletics. II
is q good old fun bloodcd mans game
and not a weaklings. The only pos
sible objection 10 il is in the fact that
crooks have been able to turn il To ac-
count TO more or less extent and IL
is just now emerging from the shad-
ows Of popular disfavor.
The keynote Of clean wrestling Is 10
eliminate the gamblers and TO have
referees call OFF all bets before match
es are started. The scandals of the
wrestling mat have always had their
origin i'm the accompanying betting. In
Minneapolis the game for the past two
years has been kept clear OF faint OF
this kind, the promoters paying each
wrestler a definite sum for the serv-
ices without bonus of any kind and
not allowing any wagering in the halls
or on the matches. so far as il could
be prevented
When heavy betting creeps in there
is always a temptation to wrestlers 70
make the most of IT, but so long as
their recompense is a straight matter
from the promoters they have little
temptation not to go for all there is I'm
them. Pride of calling makes them
go TO the limit and their earning cap
acity is measured these days by the
form they show against competitors of
known ability.
Chicago has had a bad colony for n
couple Of years and some bad stuff has
been pulled off. The Windy City
folks like wrestling. but they are out

line on the takers. They cannot draw
it any too soon for the good Of the
game.
/ The betting features can be entirely
eliminated if the referees before be-
ginning the matches publicly call off
all bets. II would bring an objection.
of course. from the gambling sure
thing element, but their protest would
be Of little account nor would il re-
ceive much consideration.
It would always leave things in such
shape that in case pair Of wrestlcrs

the promoters and the public they
could not get away with it.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS
OFTEN INJURE ATHLETES

Washington, Nov. 26.-To an un-
prejudiced person who has had an OPP
portunity TO study club, the ordinary
baseball trainer is the greatest Jest of
modern times.
Like all rules, there are exceptions
to this one, but this is about the time
of the year when we commence to
hear of the signing of certain men to
train different clubs, and assurances
are received because of the fact that
great trainers are obtained good condi-
ton Of players during the next season
is assured.
AS a matter of fact, the average
trainer of a professional baseball club
knows about as much about condition
ing an athlete properly as a cannibal
does about operating the latest type
automobile. Ask the usual run of ball
players what they think of their train
ers, and, after they stop smiling, they
will probably-smle again.
Not so many years ago the Nationals
were trained by a man whose vocation
was that of bartender, and to those
who watched him minister to the play
ers, the predominant hope was that he
knew more about the occupation that
kept him busy during the winter than
he did about the profession he at
tempted to follow during the summer.
And he was hardly an exception.
Like any man who enters any form
OF athletic sport or pastime, ball
player should be i'm shape i'm order to
do his work properly, and IL seems al
most inconceiveable that those direct
ing the fortunes Of teams should be led
into signing as trainers those who tend
to hurt rather than increase a teams
chances i'm n championship campaign.
However, these alleged trainers are
i'm no manner limited to ball clubs.
Go To the prize fight and watch the
ones who part their hair where their
eye brows stop. desperately waving
towels during the intermissio,.s and
shouting advice into the ears of the
ones who are so unfortunate as to have
them as handlers.
Take for example, Jeffries' camp be-
fore the fiasco at Reno. This champion
was surrounded by n lot of broken
down. half-fed pugilists whose know
ledge of condition was about as limit
ed as democratss chance i'm Penn
sylvania and still they We're shouting
about how we'll primed they had their
man.
Along came Mike Murphy a real au-
thority. He took one look at 7Jeffries
and came out with an unqualified
statement on which he based his
whole reputation-built up during a
career of Il score of years-in which
he said a Jeffries victory was an inn
possibility.
This is one of a hundred instances
of physical expert banking his judg-
ment against a lot whose knowledge OF
condition was limited to wearing q
towel over their shoulders and talking
out of the side of their mouths.
There are a few wise trainers IN
baseball. but a majority are as foolish
as an old maid trying to appear young

BOSTON AMERICANS Will
DISPOSE OF Eight MEN

President John !. Taylor of the Bos-
ton Americans has asked for waivers
on the service Of eight players, in
Guiding Pitcher Joe Wood. one Of the
Red Sons mainstays IL appears that
Wood had such high opinion Of his
value as slab man that when last
season drew to a close he notified
President Taylor that he was ready
10 sign for 1911 at a big increase in
salary. President Taylor, however in
formed Wood that as his pitching had
not been wholly satisfactory he would
have TO sign new contract calling
for less money than he received this
year As Wood nared up at this, the
Boston magnate lost no time in tab
bling him for release.
President Taylor therefore again has
asserted his independence as "a club
owner and has declined to be bull
dozed. He acted in a similar manner
I'm 1909. when Fred Lake, who was
then manager OF the Red sox tried To
dictate terms. Lake had never hand
led a major league team until Taylor
engaged him at a salary said 10 be
not more than $4,000 for the season,
which, however, was i'm excess of the
pay he had been receiving i'm minor
leagues. Lake's2 management of the
Red Sox on the surface seemed ex-
cellent, and when the team had reach
ed second place. close behind the De-
troits, he suddenly interviewed Tay-
Tor I'm this manner:
II you want me TO manage your
team next year you'll have to pay me
$4,000 and sign me now!"
"Your services will not be required
after this season" replied Taylor,
and you can have your release foi
nothing!" Lake was allowed TO go
too.s in spite of much criticism, but
since then he has expressed regret
that he attempted to hold Taylor up
The Boston magnate's fearless policy
was also shown when he traded Har-
~ Lord and Mcconnell 20 the White
Sox last summer for Pitcher Frank
Smith and Third Baseman Purtell.
Taylor had personal reasons for get
ting rid of Lord and paid no attention
TO outside influences.

RACE GAME STILL ALIVE.
August Belmont Gives Opinion Of Sit

sNew York, Nov 26.-August Bel
mont said recently:
1T is foolish for anybody to say that
racing is dead just because the local
tacetracks are closed. The Westchcst-
er racing association is so hopeful for
the future of the sport that after the
first of the year it viii offer n number
of stakes to horse owners for their
nominations. The principal events
will be the Blemont, the Ladies and
the Nursery stakes.
"The case of the minority stock
holders against the directors of a race
track will be the avenue through which
the laws will be defended" he contin-
ued "The construction of the Agnew-
Perkins laws is so ambiguous that IL
is impossible to tell what they specify
and prohibit. Because OF their am
biguity the directors thought it advis-
able to close the gates this fall. The
leasing of Belmont park to the avia-
ton meet did not mean that the track
would be abolished and racing dis
continued. The grounds were lying
idle. and as the association was offer
ed n good rental by the birdmen 20
give exhibitions it was leased To them.

and the future attitude OF the Wolver-
mos TO their Western neighbors, will
come 10 a head at a meeting of the
"bie eight" faculty representatives TO
be held at the Auditorium hotel on Dec.
2 The session, which may have big
eject on the personnel of the confer
euce group. was called recently by
chairman Moran of Purdue.
The 1910 meeting is expected to re-
suit i'm definite settlement of the
Conner and Wolverine situations for
the coming year. That the Minnesota
authorities will announce their inten-
lions to drop future games with Mich
igan unless the Wolverines rejoin the
conference is the belief of conference
officials. while Michigan's re-entry
into big eight" athletics on the old
terms is admitted TO be possibility.
Michigan May Come in.
The assurances OF the Minnesota au-
thorties that they have no intention
Of breaking with the conference and
the improbabiity of another Michigan
Minnesota game under the present
conditions make the chances good for
q reconciliation of the Gophers with
their recent conquerors.
In the absence of a regular Michigan
delegates the Wolverines will have to
send a representative to the meeting
on forward petition If they wish to
open the question, according to the
conference members. Coach Stage and
the University of Chicago professors
confirmed the other "big eight" Off
cals yesterday i'm stating that no move
would be made toward inviting the
Wolverines or urging them to come
back.
Michigan Is Indifferent.
While thhe Michigan forces express
Indifference over the situation, 1t was
said yesterday that the Wolverines
might have n silent member at the
meeting and. would. at any rate, be in
formed of the proceedings Some of
the Ann Arbor grads" believe the
board of control will send a delegate
10 pave the way to readmission. al
though no such intention is admitted
at Ann Arbor.
Advices from that city indicate that
the Wolverines are somewhat indiff-
erent. To the Michigan student body,
II begins to look as though the con-
ference needs Michigan more than
Michigan needs the conference. While
Michigan would probably welcome a
renewal of the two-year contracts with
Minnesota which has recently expired
and might be prevailed upon to ac-
cept games with Chicago, Wisconsin
or Illinois. the bright prospects of
games with Princeton and Cornell for
next season gives Michigan the upper
hand and the football schedule is not
apt to suffer even though Minnesota
does not give Michigan a game. The
feeling is expressed by the students
that the Gophers are not overly anx-
ious to meet their powerful rivals
again and would prefer the rather hol-
low title of conference champions than
the uncertainty of winning the Wes-
tern football honors by playing Mich
igan.
