Plan PHYSICAL
|. WORK AT YIN. GA.
NEW PHYSICAL DIRECTOR AND
COMMITTEE HELD MEETING
AND ARRANGED OUTLINE FOR
THE GYMNASIUM WORK FOR
THE NEXT YEAR.

At a meeting held yesterday after
noon between the physical section
committee of the Y. M. G. A. and the
new physical director, H. S. Lansing,
important policies regarding the
work to be done during the next year
were adopted and some high marks
were set. The policies were not adopt
ed until after the records had been
carefully examined.
The general trend of physical work
this year will be as follows:
Organized group games with all
classes for all class men. Represen-
tative teams to really represent
something, as squad, gym. class, store,
shop, church, school, lodge, neighbor-
hood, occupation, etc.
The system includes a complete
grading and grouping according to
occupation, strength and general abil-
ity. Records will be kept on asso-
citation record boards. These boards
will be provided in the gymnasium.
Gymnastics will be given prominence,
as will indoor athletics, special courses
in aquatics, including form diving, ad-
vance swimming, life saving, water
polo and water basketball.
Gymnasium stunt nights are to be
an important affair. These are to be
under the management of selected
squads and classmen. They are to
be stag affairs and only those in regu-
lation uniform will be admitted.
The committee was unanimous in
the policy of adopting strict sched-
ule in which there shall be no over
tapping of time, without the consent
of the class whose time is lost. 1t
was also unanimous in the opinion
that the basketball and indoor base
ball passing and dribbling or any ac-
tlvities during class hour other than
that directed by the man In charge
should not be tolerated.
Unusually strong emphasis is to be
put upon the leaders corps. Leaders
will be given much more time and
attention than formerly. New mem
bers are to be given special attention.
Men contemplating joining for fall
activities are urged to see the ply
steal director during the coming week,
to arrange for whatever instruction
might be given them. Slogan for the
year is Every man in a team and
every team in a congenial group"
Boxing and wrestling programmes
are to be announced later. The COM
mittee will promote physical depart
ment Bible school and study clubs.
The aim of the department is 400 con-
testants and forty teams for the year,
representing all forms of indoor COM
petition. 1t seems as if there will be
cha "a for everyone.
The gymnasium work opens for boys

The above policies and plans have
been worked upon for some time

son, with Mr.. Lansing at Chicago and

stable in Cleveland and sometimes
gazes back in Retrospect at the old
days when he used to drop 'em with a
turn OF his wrist.
After having fought forty nine bat
ties. only one Of which he lost, Simms
invaded California with Tim McGraw
in 1903, looking for fights. He looked
long. but found nothing. Kid Lavigne,
New York, Jack O'Brien or Rufe Turn
err, lightweights who were in Frisco
at the time, wouldn't meet him, being
fearful OF that snappy left hand.
Jimmy Britt was then amateur light
weight champion ON the Pacific coast
He had cleaned everything and was
F'risco's hero. He had done so well in
amateur circles that there were many
who would not have been loath to
stack their coin on him against a pro-
fessionaL In fact. Britt's friends were
continually urging him to turn pro-
fessional.
Britt didn't think he was good
enough. but Alex Greggains, Harry Cor
bett, Willis Britt and other sporting
men OF the coast would not listen to
him. Finally Britt decided he would

see for himself whether he had the
ability to box the good ones. He pro-
posed private bout between some
good professional lightweights and
himself. Art Simms was called down
TO the Pacific Athletic club by Alex
Greggains and asked If he would try
out Britt for couple Of rounds. 1T
may mean a fight IL you do" said
Greggains. IF he shows well against
you he will turn professional and
will match him against you." Art
eagerly consented to meet Britt, so the
next afternoon Corbett, Greggains and
a few more sports escorted him to a
private room at the Olympic Athletic
club where he was to box the coast
phenom.
Britt Has Edge First Round.
An interesting crowd Of onlookers
who were members OF the club, anx-
iously waited for the boys to get in
their gymnasium costumes. They were
all friends of Britt and were desirous
to know how he would stack up against
"a fighter Of Simms' caliber.
Simms held Britt cheaply the first
round and boxed easily and carelessly.
The coast boxer peppered him right on
the nose with considerable consistency,

as a consequence. He had much the
better Of the first round.
Art could hear the buzz of CONVEX
sation as he went to his corner after
the round. Everybody was very much
pleased with the way Jimmy handled
himself. Art decided that he had to
let himself out in the next round or
lose a good match.
So he initiated Britt into all the
mysteries of professional boxing when
time was called. He tented him into all
the positions he wanted to bring him
into and hit him as he pleased. Britt
didn't have chance In the second
round, which was the last.
Greggains offered $4,000 purse for
bout between Britt and Simms to be
held before the Pacific A. G. Britt said
he would consider the offer. Simms
kept after him and spent a week in
trying to induce him to accept. At the
end of the week Simms got a telegram
offering him a battle with Martin
Duffy at Detroit, and after getting into
communication with Britt. who said he
had decided to remain an amateur,
Simrns came back east.

PlTTS5uRG MAY LOSE
CHANCES FOR CHAM
Pl0NSFiIP BECAUSE
OF WAGNER'S INJURY.

Brooklyn, Aug. 17--Hans Wag-
ner, the Pittsburg shortstop and
leading National league batter, is
likely to be out OF the game for at
least week as a result of an in
jury to his ankle, sustained during
the first inning Of yesterdays game
with Brooklyn. Wagner tripled,
tripped over second base after
making a hit. He pulled up lame
and had be assisted to the club
house.
After the game an x-ray photo
graph was taken OF the injured
member. 1t was said it would take
several days rest to repair the
damage done.
Wagner's injury at this time
when the Pfttsburg team, in
whose defensive and offensive play
he is one of the leading factors,
Is on the lead and lighting hard
for the leadership, is considered a
severe handicap to the club.

was astonished to read that Britt had
agreed to turn professional and had
been matched to fight Toby Irwin, an
old broken down pug. Britt easily de-
feated him and thereafter climbed the
ladder of fame.
Had he fought Simms instead of r.
win, Britt probably would never have
seen championship, because Simms
was at the height of his career and
would have given him beating calcu-
lated to remove all his ambition.

a different set Of faces If Britt had
fought me-" said Art, regretfully. Il
might have been one of the leading
juveniles myself"

HOW PATTI SANG-A
MOUNTAINEERING STUDY

Lafcadio Hearn had a rare facul-
ty for discerning a words shades of
meaning, and one of his keenest
pleasures was, by taking advantage
of every subtle suggestion in a
phrase, to produce a vivid effect in a
minimum of words. For me-" he
writes in the lately published "Japa-
nese Letters of Lafcadio Hearn,"
words have color, form, character
They have faces. ports, manners,
gesticulations-they have moods,
humors, eccentricities; they have
tints, tones. personalities" A good
instance of this power appears in a
description of PATHS singing:
There was great dim pressure, a
sitting heat. whispering of silks, a
weight of toilet perfumes. Then
came an awful hush; all the silks
stopped whispering. And there sud
denly sweetened out through that
dead hot air a clear, cool, tense
thread-gust of melody unlike any
sound | ever heard before save-in
tropical nights-from the throat of
a mockingbird. 1t was Aud Lang
Svne' only-but with never a trem-
olo or artifce-s marvellous. audac-
ious simplicity of utterance."
