GOVERNOR WILSON
 FOOTBALL COACH
Gave Wesleyan a Winning
 ' Team By Doses of Ginger

MiddletoEn, July 3Woodrow Will mon. who was Professor of History and Political Economy at Wesleyan University from 1888 to 1890, is best
 rcrusnbered here for his. success in
 coaching the famous Wesleyan foot ball team of 1889, which defeated the
 ufniversity of Pennsylvania by the
 score of lotto 2. and overwhelmed Am
 herst ss toNO. Other notable victories of the year. were over Williams, Trin- ltv. Lshigh. and Rutgers. Harvard's s
 pride was also humbled. the Wesleyan
 team scortngi2 points on the Grim son.
 Professional Acoaches were rare in
 thome days, and Prof. wilson. as one Of Ehe yusznger members of the facul- ty. was chosen by the students as fac- Auffy adviser Of the football team He 3was particularly effective in putting Krlnrer into the squad. and 1t is said of him that he could give cail- down i'm a manner that would put to $ehamr even some of the modern conehes.
 Cne day when he heard some of his chrrges wondering how low they could
 keep the score against old Tale, he
 wfthered them by saying. Keep the
 score downT Go down there ready to

JIM FLYNN'S -
 RING RECORs NOT VERY GOOG

Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn enter Promoter Curley's arena, at Las Ve- gas, New Mexico, tomorrow, for scheduled forty-f1ve round bout. Never before has a championship battle. even between lightweights, attracted so little publicity as this contest. From the time articles were signed right down to the present the public has refused to take the match seri- ously Exactly two years ago, on the eve of the Jeffries-Johnson battle at Reno, the Slightest action of either man was disseminated over the coun- try, and the stories. from the training camps overflowed from sporting pages into the regular news section and were the most widely read articles printed
 Johnson has not trod a ring in two years, since he met Jeffries. Maybe he has been living high and gone back to some extent, but 1t does not seem probable that he is to be a Flynn vic- tim. Jeffries retired for four years and led happy. careless life, and
 then returned to the ring and -condi. tioned himself into 220 pounds of nfisZ cle. Jeffries was probably as -stropg as he ever was. physically, when he clambered, stiff-legged into the Reno ring with Johnson; 1t was his mental status that baked and numbed and caused his pitiable showing.
 If Flynn was physically equal to Johnson there would be reason to ex- beet that he might cope successfully
 with the gigantic negro, but such :s not the case. The white fighter is smaller man in every way, and fur
 thermore lacks the record and experi- |ence of the present champion. Hfs ring record fails to indicate that he equals his opponent of Thursday.. From 1901 to 1905 he fought various tough fellows in Colorado and Utah mining camps. Sometimes he knocked them out, again he won on points, and others he won on fouls. In 1s00 he got the decision from Jack Twin Sullivan and couple of months later was knocked out by Tommy Burns
 The next year he fought Jack Twin twice more, winning the first bout on points and getting a draw in the sec ond. After knocking out George Gardner and Dave Barry he won from Tony, Ross, the Allegheny Italian, on a foul1 Then came the memorable Nov. ak' CoIma, when Jack Johnson knocked him out. Burns passed the knockout along to Bill Squires a little later. Jack Twin Sullivan got his regular engagement again early in 1e06-thi1 time a no-decision affair. Flynn won from Battling Johnson twice and then fought a draw with Jim Barry in Denver Al Kaufman then knocked him out, and he fought a no-decision battle with Battling Johnson and was
 Knocked out by Sam Langford,
 Tn 1909 he fought ten rounds with Billy Papke, with no decision, and then did the same with Montana Jack Sullivan. He repeated with Papke again and then with Philade1- phia Jack O'Brien for six rounds; He knocked out Bill Pettus and Joe Wfl- lis but could, not get a decision over Jack Burns Tn 1910 he went ten rounds for no decision with Sam Lang l. ford. then fought return engage- ment and was knocked out in the eighth round Last year he knocked out Al Kaufman at Kansas City
 Then he outpointed Carl Morris In New York.

MALCOLM ON
 ALL-EASTERN
 COLLEGE TEAM

Jason Malcolm of this city is pick. ed by the New York Sun as one oh the pitchers on the All Eastern col- lege team. The local boy twirled wonderful ball for the. Uniys1sity of Vermont team and Is now working in the Twin-State league in Vermont. M The Sun says:
 Malcolm of Vermont and Davis of Williams were the most brilliant of the Eastern pitchers, the former be- ing a little steadier than the latter. There were times when both men were hit hard, but their best games were far above the best pitched by twirlers from any of the other col leges. Davis is a big man and can stand a lot of hard work. He perhaps tried to do too much, and with: the burden of the captaincy was some what handicapped. He had more speed than any of the others and was usually in fair command of the ball. Neither Davis nor Malcolm is pri- rnarily a strike-out pitcher, for both men make the utmost use of theR field, and there was plenty of work for the outfielders behind Davis"

HOLYOKE WINS FROM M'CANN'S
 FLAG CHASERS

The Mechanics stopped off at Hol- yoke yesterday and dropped a game to the Papermakers by T. to 2. The Bridgeport boys were unable to do much with Harrell, who was knocked out of the box at Newfield last week.
 The, Springfield Union says of the game:
 Harrell had Bridgeport helpless and in these two innings the visitors were soon subdued. Crook was the only one to hit Harrell to any extent get ting double, single and sacrifice fly. The noteworthy stunts were not con Stow, Spratt and Fisher twinkling brightly on the Bridgeport defense.
 Snyder gave up eight hits and the majority of them were used to the ut most advantage by Holyoke, Steamer Flanagan set a fine example for his men by getting a homer and single and Ahearn cleaned. up pair of sharp singles.
 Two were down in the third when Hickey beat out 8 smoking smash that bounded away from Snyder, Flanagan following with his homer that vault ed the right field fence. The game was laid away on the top shelf in the eighth Ruell who was subbIng at sec ond in the absence of Jimmy Curry. who Is honeymooning, walked for a starter. Hfckey's bunt was fumbIed by Snyder and Flanagan beat out an- other bunt to the pitcher. filling the bases. Ahearn singled, scoring Ruel1 and Hickey. O'Hara hit to Spratt and was out at first. Standard also hit to the shortstop and Flanagan was caught between third and home, but scored when Miller hit him in the head with the ball. Ahearn took third on the play and he scored on Hanni- fins hoist to Fisher.
 Baker got the first safety off Har- rell in the fourth. Crook got another and when Spratt poked out rap. Baker scored. Here Harrell steadied and stopped further scoring. Crook got a double in the sixth, but never left the midway corner. Tn the eighth Snyder Bore off a two-bagger and Fisher was safe on a slow tap to sec- ond Snyder going to third. Bakers 8 bunt put Fisher on second. Crook s sacrifice fly scored Snyder. but Spratt closed with a lift to Hickey" Score:

YANKEES GET PLAYER O'DOWD
 FOR SHORTSTOP

:. Brockton, Mass, July 3.-The New York Americans and the local club of the New England League completed another deal yesterday, by which Shortstop Leo O'Dowd, of South Wey- mouth, who has been playing inde- pendent baseball in Atlantic City, join ed the Highlanders when they left Boston last night. O'Dowd was re- leased outright by Brockton
 > Second Baseman Howard of the Brockton team, who was released to New York last night and ordered to report to the Highlanders in Boston refused to go.

JOHNNY COULON
 BEATS JOE WAGNER

1 Johnny Couloni of Chicago, bantam weight champion, handily defeated Joe Wagner in ten rounds last night at the St. Nicholas Athletic Club, New York. Battling Hurley of Passaic outslugged Bobby Wilson of Utica in a ten-round slam bang affair.
 The Coulon-Wagner affair did not come up to expectations, as after a tame start in the opening two ses- sions the champion won as he pleased by the largest possible margin aside from a Knockout. Wagner's weight was announced as 114 pounds, while Coulon scaled 114 x.
 ;! In cleverness and ring generalship Coulon made Wagner look foolish, and had him missing wild swings by large margins while, on the other hand, the champion peppered all sorts of jabs, hooks, and swings to various parts of Wagner's anatomy without return. CouIon upheld his reputation of being a very fast and sH1ifty boxer, but with all his ability he failed to make a noticeable inn pression on Wagner throughout the ten sessions, and when the final bell sounded neither boy carried a mark sufficient to warrant his being in a ten-round boxing contest.

REGATTA WEEK AT HENLFy
 TO BE INAUGURATED TODAY

At historic Henley, fifty miles from London. the worlds classic rowing re- gatta will be inaugurated today and will continue to Saturday. on which day the. King and Queen will attend and will use the0 famous state barge. a craft built by William III. for his consort Mary in 1899: Henley is a quaint old town where nothing ever happens except during the first week of each July, when no inconsiderabl ble proportion of the population of Eng land congregates there, and the vil- lage awakes from it's slumber, dons It's flags and bunting and prepares to seperate the visitors from enough coin to last another year. The one great necessity, tea, Is advanced from 'thruppence" or six cents a pot to a shilling, while the luxuries dealt in by the hawkers and the numerous booths command even more extortion- ate prices. But nobody cares, for Henley week, like Christmas, comes but once a year: London society at tends the regatta en masse Not to visit Henley is almost as unconven- tional as to avoid Epson on Derby Day. The fash1onables usualy live in house boats which line the banks of the Thames for miles. These are usually two-storied affairs, with sleep Ing quarters in the upper storey and most of them are covered with trailing vines. Henley week is also marked by reunion of thousands of old-time oarsmen, wearing club or col lege coats of various colors. Henley has been a Mecca for oarsmen since 1920. Columbia University of New York was the first foreign crew to row in the Henley regatta, in 1878, and the invaders won the much-coveted ChaI- lenge Cup. A day at Henley is the most interesting experience imagin- able. At ten the rush begins for the houssboats, punts, canoes, gondolas and other craft that line the course. Two or three races are held each af- ternoon. beginning at noon, and the spectators have plenty of time to con- sume tea and pastry, and listen to the minstrels, monologists and other entertainers who travel up and down the shore. doing their stunts and then reaching out a long pole with bag attached to reap harvest of pennies All of the "entertainers'' and fakirs of England seem congregated at Hen ley during regatta week. And if the spectators in any boat refuse to cough up they will find themselves the butts for the wit of the center taineFs.''

WHAT LEACH { CROSS RECEIVED
 IN FIRST FIGHT

They call Leach Cross, the New York lightweight, the champion of the eloakmakers, because that industrious class turn out en masse to see Cross fight. They. usually see a good fight, too. Cross may take a sharp adyan- tage, when he gets the chance-he de clares that he will pull any trick he can, whether 1t is considered unsports- manlike or not, if the referee will let =him get away with it-but he is game. and he carries a punch in each hand If he lands it right, pretty nearly any lightweight will wobble awhile. They say I'm too good a business man to be a fighter said Cross recently Well, learned to be 8 good business man from men who were better business men than I'll ever be-
 F. And he told the story. When he was a kid he wanted to fight before an athletic club named after a cer- tain prominent member of the Order called on the manager of the club. 'I'li give yuh chanst, kid" said that individual, ''but I gotta be yuhr manager Of course he assented. and when he went on to fight preli41i- nary battle few nights afterward he was knocked out in one round and lost a tooth. After the fight he went into the managers office to get his money.
 "Yuh got S comin' to yuh for fight Tn prelifnS, SaTd the manager.
 We'll that was all right That's all they ever pay a green kid for pre- liminary fight. The manager counted it out in silver. E i
 "Now," said he, "I'm your manager, and so my, bit is two dollars 'n a half'' He put that sum in his trous- fersE pockets. An you brought in a pair of kids for seconds. Yuh didn't have no right to do that. but f'll only charge you 75 cents apiece That's a dollar 'n' a half An bein's, this is yuhr first fight, I'll only. charge yuh half buck for the use of the towels and water bottles. So heres your 50 cents" .s
 "Oi. yoi.'' said Cross in consterna- tion ''I got knocked out in the first round and lost tooth and all for only 50 cents?"
 Look at the nice fight you had said the manager cheerfully.

Sweden is not the only place where they can hold championship matches.

One would imagine >that the fate of the universe hung on the outcome of the race which is to be held the morning of the Fourth of July be- tween Miss Margaret Walsh and Miss Marion Brown. On Monday afternoon both girls missed an entrance so en- grossed were they in their argument as to which stroke was the best to use in a race, the crawl or the fa- nous Daniel stroke. Every day has seen the girls spurred on by their supporters faithfully at the beach for the all important event. The man. agement of Poli's has offered medal to the one winning the race as an ex- tra inducement.
