PUGS TO train
VIA AEROPLANE

''Prizefighters of the future will 90
most of their training in aeropsanes.r
This remarkable and revolutionary
statement was made recently by Kid
Mccoy. the pugilist, who formerly held
the niddleweight and welterweight
championships
Indulgence inaaviation is a splendid
way of training" announced Mccoy
after he had navigated a five-mile
course through the air in a borrowed
aeroplane
1T quiekens every sense. The fier
must be on the alert all the time He
must be strong, too. Every one can
see the immense possibilities of get
ting pure fresh air when one is about
a mile up in the sky. No germs, no
dust, no vitiated atmosphere, no Moth
ing
Some fighters may never get any
nearer heaven than the 10,OO0-foot al
titude mark, but even that has it's COM
pensations. They would probably be
lonesome anyhow
Mccoy has written to Champion Jack
Johnson explaining the usefulness of
the aeropIane, but the Ethiopian bruis-
er has not yet got beyond the automo-
bile stage.

is usually followed, and usually brings
good results.
The first game of the interisland

are expected here in a few days, as
they are to have a. full week at Mo-

to recover from the effects of their
ocean trip. The four men who will
carry the colors of the Valley Isle are
Arthur Collins, Harold Rice, Frank
Baldwin and David Fleming With the
exception of Collins, all are veterans
of the game, and they, like the Oahu

GRIFFITHS PUTS
GINGER into
SENATORS
Washington Has Never Before
Played Such Ball as Is
Being Shown Now
BY TOMMY CLARK.

Washington is the sensation of the
American league this season. Do you
understand? If so, you have some.
thing on the great majority of base
ball followers, who always have been
accustomed to look deep in the second
division for the percentage of the
Neutrality-suspicious.. And the good folks
in Washington are astonished simply
wondering if it can be true. They
fear it's dream.
Clark Griffith has put new life. into
the Senatorial aggregation. He has
put in his own savings into the club
and has instilled a new brand of GIN
ger in his team, new at least for Wash
ington. In other years the Washing.
ton team has gone on the field merely
for the formality of playing the sched-
uled game, apparently convinced that
it had only an outside chance to win.
But Griffith's 1912 club is cocky one
that goes into the combat with the be-
lief that a victory will result or the
other fellow will have some battle on
their hands. 1t is team spirit, the
Washington baseball critics say.
Griffith has been fortunate in his
pitching. Walter Johnson never has
shown to better advantage. than he has
this season, and Groom has pitched
great ball in the games he has en-
tered.
"Chick" Gandil, whom Griffith re-
Gently purchased from Montreal, has
made good He has. been putting up
grand game at the initial sack and
hitting the ball hard Clyde Milan, the
Senator'S star outfelder, is also play
ing sensational fielding game, rum
ming the bases well and walloping the
ball hard.
Foster at third is the sensation of
the team and works in great style with
George Mcbride, the shortstop and
captain of the clug. Fosters stick
work also has done much In keeping
the Washington team high In the race
and iGermany" Schaefer looks letter
than ever before in his long and event
full baseball career Schaefer has teen
hitting well, his long wallops being a
potent factor in the Washington Of
tense.
In looking at the high standing of
Griff1th's men and considering the low.
ly position Washington usually hes
held the question naturally arises:
Will the club blow? Has the team the
class to keep up the present pace?
Washington is admiring and won
dering.

DUSTLESS AUTO
NEW INVENTION

MANCHESTER. Eng, June PA
Manchester engineer has patented an
apparatus which. it is claimed, will
prevent the clouds of dust raised in
dry weather by automobiles and other
vehicles.
The device, which is simple and in
expensive, collects the dust as it rises.
The dust is drawn into conduits, which
are funnel shaped at the mouth and
which run from the rear of the front
wheels to the rear of the back wheels.
These conduits are connected with a
box. into which the dust is driven by
the pressure of air. or this end can
also be accomplished by the aid of
centrifugal fan geared to the driving
shaft of the automobile. The contents
of the dust box can be discharged by
pulling lever at the front of the We
hicle.

A Strenuous Day.
Here's an example of, the training
routine l used to go through in prep
aration for a match:
rise at o'clock in the morning and
drink sherry and egg. Then out for
a walk of about two miles, followed by
breakfast consisting of outmeal and a
chop. Then a rest until 10 O'clock,
when a run and walk of eight or ten
miles was taken This was followed
by a rundown, and, then came dinner,
the big meal of the day of steak or
chops. If the weight was easy little
ale was allowed with the dinner. Then.
came another rest until 2 o'clock, when
boxing, bag punching, and work with
the gymnasium apparatus was in

for the sparring. After this came sup
per at s o'clock, and $50 was bedtime.
If the fight was to be held at night,
although most of them were decided
in the afternoon on the turf, we en-
gagged in a little sparring at night in
order to train the, eyes to light condi-
tons
Now, that is strenuous days
work, and when it is considered that
the matches were made from five to
eight weeks before the fights were held,
it shows that we had to get into con-
ditfon for bare lSnuckle battles. The
matches then were made at the lowest
weight that a fighter could do. and as
a result he had to train off every ounce
possible to save his forfeit"
