HUGO KELLY HAS EARNED
RIGHT TO MET ". PAPkf

Hugo Kelly. the best fighter Italy
ever exported to America, has second
line check toward securing the man
tie Stanley Ketche left for the ambi-
tious middleweights to fight for. Next
TO Billy Papke. Kelly is the best man
i'm the country today at his weight.
Kelly's defeat of Frank Klaus gave
him a higher rating than he had be-
fore. Klaus hasn't an overabund-rep-
utation, but he is a splendid young
fighter and one that had to be disposed
Of before Kelly could get another bout
with Papke, which he probably VIII
when Billy returns from Australia.
Kelly pounded Klaus pretty decisive
lv and made his ring generalship count
for all there was in it. Kelly broke
his hand early in the bout, but. de-
spite the handicap, kept bravely to
the task and never slowed up. To beat
Klaus with a broken hand is an
achievement Kelly can boast OF win
much self qualification.
The middeweight title will be decid-
ed soon after Papke gets back to his
native soil. The Illinois champion is
generally conceded the championship
now but Kelly has a chance for 1t,
much better one than Caponi, Klaus

Kelly has been compelled to call of
his bout with Frank Mantell because
of his injury.

DEVORE REFUSES
NICE FAT OFFER

Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. 29.-Josh De-
wore famous young oall player is the
kind of a fellow a manager likes to
have around. Josh is in the game for
the money like all the rest of them but
he is conscientious and a hard work.
or. The latest example of his loyalty
TO his club is his decision To turn down
a tempting offer to play indoor base
ball in the east this winter.
Josh, along with the Peerless" Mat
ty" Mathewson, req Merkle and Lar
nv Doyle received hattering offer to
play indoor baseball this winter.
Games were to be played in New YORK
Buffalo and other eastern cities inc
salary was large, the work easy, and
the trip worth taking. However Josh
came to the conclusion he ought to
turn II down.
Why? Well, Josh said himself:
I'm afraid McGraw wouldn't like It.
wouldn't that freeze your pipes?
How many ball players would turn
down glass of suds, not to mention
fat easy job, just because the mana
ger wouldn't like it?'
ITS this WAY" explained Josh
"You see my legs arc my fortune. ] am

HESTON WANTS
MORE RUSHING
FORMER MICHIGAN GRlDIRoN
STAR THINKS THE DISTANCE
SHOULD BE REDUCED TO
SEVEN YARDS.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 29.-Winiam
Heston the former Michigan halfback.
states that he believes there ought to
be more rushing in football. George
Foster Sanford, the Yale coach, said
recently that the game lacked in at
tack and is on record with declara-
tion that If the rules were so changed
as TO make necessary number of yards
to be gained in three down seven in
stead of ten, and that if the runner be
allowed to "tackon" to one player in
hitting the line to equalize to some ex-
tent the attack with the defense,
things will again run along smoothly.
Mr., Heston says that making il COM
pulsory to gain 10 yards by rushing is
spoling the game and that the other
mistake OF the rule makers was to
compel the runner to go it alone, doing
away with pushing and pulling.
"Sanford's plan does not bring foot
ball back to what II formerly was, but
il does give a team a chance to make
the game interesting for the spectators.
They can again have the good old mass
play and first down win be plentiful.
Under the new rules first downs were
rare and it did not look like football.
II believe in rushing the ball. The
1O-yard business does not make that
possible to the extent that it should be
permitted. Reduce it to seven yards
and you will again see scores and all
the features that make football popu-
lar to large extent, as well as with
those directly interested
"The new rules have hurt the game
If anything. A change is necessary
and if the men in charge of rule-mak
ing get busy and listen to Sanford
they will have a great improvement
next year. Just look at the good OLE
game we used to have. We could SCI
football again"

MANAGER INQUIRE FACES
THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

Jim Mcclure faces the golden OPP
portunity of his managerial career. If
he shows results next season he will
be offered a long-term contract. Fail
ure will mean release.
The Nap owners want a permanent
manager, just as they want short
stop who promises to be a good play
err for number years. Experience
has taught that it is best to make no
changes. This is shown in the sue
cess of Connie Mack, Frank Chance
Fred Clarke. John McGraw and Hugh
Jennings.
They are the great managers OF
baseball, but it is improbable that any
of them would have succeeded without
long terms to carry out their plans
Their teams. once started, have been
on top or always near the top. and
they have been money makers.
on the other hand, the clubs that
have changed hands have gone up and
down the ladder. Many baseball mer
believe the Boston Red SoX would
have won the pennant had Fred Lake
remained i'm charge.
The Yankees and Nationals have
gone the same way. Hal Chase vii

great managers if he brings the team

Mauy Reasons Given by Those
Interested for Lack of Sue
cess of Old Eli's
Crews
Il COACH KENNEDY TO BLAME?
Students Generally Admit That Har-
ward Has Better System of Devel-
opins Good Men Than Yale
Weight is Lacking.

New York. Dec. 29.-There has been
same inquiry and puzzlement at Yale
~ late over the compelling cause of
continued defeat of the crews. Earlier
in the season Capt. Frost of the varsity
crew explained by means of tables
that light weight for many seasons,
that is, light weight compared with
the average of Harvard crews, was
what did it. AS he figured it out the
desirable men averaged in weight
something more than he did himself,
so it has been suggested since that he
might even withdraw from the crew
unless he believed that his presence
would be helpful.
Since then Cam Waterman, an oars
man of about seven or eight years
back. comes to the front with another
explanation. He believes that men,
have preferred of late years to play
football and get the letter that way
rather than to adopt rowing, much
more wearing sport He says 1t may be
true that light weight had something
to do with it, but he points out the
example of Freddie Briggs and others
as a sign that an oarsman needs not
weight as a prime requisite.
There is conflict of authorities
therefore in the Yale rowing camp a
prominent coach at another college
says: Il wish l could get the Yale
castoffs. I'd make crew out of them
that would trim Harvard" That seems
TO reflect slightly upon the ability of
the coach at Yale. The Blue insists on
believing that John Kennedy Is as good
a coach as ever he was and is looking
for the fault elsewhere.
Perhaps the best place to look for
reasons for Yale's recent defeats on
the water is-Cambridge. 1t is to be
remembered that Harvard has been
following a very good system of row
ing for several years and has had
young man as coach who seems to be
pretty keen judge of rowing material
Harvard believes too that not a little
Of its success is due to the presence
in the Crimson quarters of doctor
to look after the well being of the men
1t isn't the policy in other universities
TO have a doctor about because ordin
arily the coach is a good judge of con
dition and helps to keep the men ht
Harvard isn't getting any better mel
than usual. Both universities for year

JOSS ILLEGAL DELIVERY.
Prize Cleveland Hurler Tells of First
Experience In Baseball.

Addie Joss tells about his illegal de-
livery. He vouches for it without
batting an eye and of course, no one
doubts Adde'S veracity. 1t was when
Joss was nursing his ambition TO be-
come great pitcher that his stock-in-
trade consisted of n curve that had a
roundhouse looking like a bee line.
And because of this curve, with his
speed, Joss was the pride of Juneau,
Wis.,
on certain holiday at Portage,
is, the opposing team went on the
field stepping high. The cause was a
natural-born slugger whose average
was close to .943. He had been trans
ported 175 miles to help win the game.
Because this budding sam Thomp-
son was among those present, the odds
were two TO one against joss team.
The first time the slugger staggered
to the plate, the bases were choked
and the situation looked bright.
Joss says he knew the fellow could
murder a straight bah, so he handed
him three of those loop the-loor
curves. and the clean-up man wan
dered benchward.
Four times the prize hitter struck
