possesses wonderful strengthened he
docs. The worst drawback to Jahns'
chances are that he has not been pitt
ted against any of the big boys for
some time. while Ordeman is meeting
one big man after the other with
marked success.
Jahns has been an enthusiastic ath-

The farmer is out his time to DEM

Thc manager of last years team has
again been secured to handle the
team. and he will proceed at once to
select his men and got thcm on the

Mc'iarry's experience both AS IL play

friends among the fans last year and
the directors and public both feel on
'hdcn that the team he will assemble
will be a top-notchcr and one which
will retain the prestige Valley City
teams have had in the past.
McGarry is now in correspondence
with all of tho Valley City players of
the last two years and he will bring
here a team of known ability.
Mccarthy. who is hcing tried out
with st. Paul at present. has written
the management that if he fails to
make good with them he is anxious
to come back here. Thrall. who play.
ed here two years ago, want to- come
back. AS does Lcahy.

MANLY ART Is
NOT A SUCCESS
WITH FAIR SEX


A physical instructor who has had
~ years experience with the New
York women, when asked as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of women acquiring a
knowledge of boxing. answered that a
scream was about as effective a pro-
lection as a scientific knowledge of
boxing would be and it was much
moro easily developed.
Take it all in all. his opinion of
women pupils is not fattering.
While a is in training for

stricted to a plain. diet. and every
time she comes to the gymnasium she
is weighed upon arriving and leaving.

this once, but they never try it again.

He Called the Turn.

pupil who had lied to me, and she
finally owned up.

member h a ! ever turned out a first

knoWn any two women who would
DON together a second time. This, I
thlnk. is q reason why boxing has
never been a popular feminine sport.
! hardly think a boxing match ar
ranged between IL man inc a woman
could or would be fought fair. unless
the man was a brute. But put two
women opposite with the gloves and II
is different. For one thing. a woman
always wants to get the better of her
opponent. not SO much for sports sake,
as to be able to say L licked her. Get.

men-would be likely t. side-step cut

a boxing bout, two women who started

thing happens with men every once in
q while: but men always stick to the
rules of the game. for which reason.
If equally skillful, neither is at a dis
advantage.
To the suggestion that boxing les.
sons would be splendid preparatory
training in the art of self-defense, the
instructor made the remark already
quoted. and then told this incident:
One Of my former pupils. a woman
OF good physical proportions and very.
quick witted. was leaving a New York
restaurant with a woman friend after
the tea our one day last winter, when
h was annoyed by a masher.
In a jiffy she shot out her fist and
landed him a blow on the jaw which
sent him spraWling to the sidewalk.
I guess it was pretty neatly done, but
the woman broke her knuckles and
went around with a bandaged hand for
a long time.
There was a case where perhaps
a blow was more effective than a
scream. but few. women would have
the courage to deliver such q blow.
sven had they the strength. As it
was. the woman suffered more for It
than the she toppled over"

SAFER SHOWS
CLASS EARLY
Cub First Baseman Has Been
A Winner at. All
Times.

Victor Safer. the 2O-ycar.old first
baseman of the Chicago National
Cubs, certainly has caused enough
commotion in the National league to
satisfy one Of his years.
Safer came heralded as a sensation.
And he has been. causing one about
every, time he turned around.
Here is what that young man has
done in his brief life:
Jumped direct from a high school
team to the Chicago Cubs. and at a
time when the team held the cham.
pionship of the National league.
Stepped from the bench to first
base when he was but 20 years Of age.
and at a time when the Cubs were in
a hot fight for tho pennant.
Made good IN the eyes of Fred
Clarke and Roger Bresnahan. but not
in those Of Frank Char.

gest deal attempted at the annual
meeting Of the National league.
And finally was the cause of the
row which resulted in Roger Rresna-
han filing charges against Charles
Webb Murphy. !

baseball Il lifetime without having
caused half the cOnnmotion. And
Safer is m of the quietest. most lik-
able young fellows you ever saw. Any
time that you want his opinion and
the answer requires more than two
words. YOU don't get it:

ty-five hundred dollars converted Sa-
Ter into a Cub. Everything was love-
~. Then came the report hat Safer
would not play with the Cubs. He
was absolutely convinced that it
would be a mistake for. him to join
a team like the Cubs. where he would
have to spend so much time on the
bench.
But he came. And he didn't sit on
the bench. either. Chance was unable
to continue in the game. and Safer
was subjected to one OF the most try
ing ordeals that any VOW ever
faced.
He was sent to first when the Cubs
were fighting for a II Mind
