had, has not left him in the best of spirits
Coulon is feeling some better now and
will begin light training soon. When he
is back in shape a match between he and
Williams would be the best that could be
had in the country.
Williams. by hard and persistent work,

CAN FRANCISCO, March 10
y After seeing Ad Wolgast in
action with Tommy Murphy,
sporting men Of thoughtful turn
have come to the conclusion that
even if Wolgast has gone back"
he is still fit ring company for any
thing of his weight that walks in
two shoes.
1t is doubtful if Wolgast in his
palmiest days could have stood the
stress of as blizzardly a bout and
shown less signs of fatigue. 1t was
an affair to test the mettle of the
most rugged fighters, let alone one
whose vitality was supposed to
have suffered through an appen-
dicitis opera ton.
AS a result of it all, it is not
likely that the possible effects of
Wolgast's hospital experiences a
year ago will enter so much into
the discussion about chances when
he stands forth to fight again.
If he does the square thing by
hlmSelf IN the training line and is
then defeated by Willie Ritchie.
Joe Rivers or Tommy Murphy. as
the case may be, there will scarce
ly be a disposition on the part of
the sporting public to attribute the
reverse to sloughing away of
Wolgast's fighting ability. The YER
dict, I'm thinking, win be that
Wolgast simply met his master
and that the same man would have
beaten Ad probably at any time in
his career.
When the suspicion exists that a
pugilist has gone back" those
looking at him in action naturally
expect to see him blow up" when

vANDY FAST ON
TRACK; FIELD
PROSPECTSBA BAD

NASHVILLE, TENN, March
u 10.-Taking advantage of the
first signs of mild weather,
Coach Bill Anderson, of the Van
derbilt track team, has had his
candidates out for practice in
deadly earnest twenty-five men
responded to the call for volun-
teers, and the outlook for a point
making aggregation in all track
events is the best in many years,
while in the field events it is just
as gloomy.
In Robbins, Page and Ar1nistead,
Anderson has a trio of stars in the
quarter mile class, while from last
years team, which came back a
winner from the S. l. A. A. meet. he
has Captain Copeland, Austin, Gill
and Hume.
But not a sign of hurdler, shot

ed so far and the coach will have
tough job on his hands to de-
velop material for these events.
Last season the same proposition
confronted the Commodores-they

or the new men, Milholland, the
California boy, who was used last
year as A sub on the football team,
and Page look to be the best of the
lot. Whitley" hung up a record
on the coast of 2:02 for the half
mile, which is fast enough to take
care of any runner in the South;
While Page. while at Auburn in
1871, captured both the 100-yard
and the @2O-yard dashes at the s. |.
\. a. meet in Birmingham.
In the quarter mile, Copeland is
certain to break the tape first, for
he is one of the fastest relay men
in the country today Only by the
splitting of seconds was he beaten
out last year at New Orleans, while
at the dual meet with Notre Dame
he was first in the quarter.

GROUND WET, SO
PITCHERS ONLY
WILL Be WORKED

Owing to the rich, juicy condi-
ton of the grounds at Ponce
DeLeon park there will be
no fielding practice today. But the
pitchers will get a workout for all
that. The whole bunch was out
this morning and took stiff work
out under the shelter of the stands,
and they will be back for an encore
This afternoon.
When Bill Smith was asked this
morning his training plans for the
week, he said;
Same as last week, only more
Of It."
I'm going to work them all lot
harder this week than last" con-
t'nued Smith. "The pitchers have
got to begin fielding their positions
and the infielders will have to cover
heir positions in mid-season style"
Smith plans to work on all the
simpler points of team play and
when practice is on he will expect
all players to look out for their po-
sitions just as they will in regular
games
BY the middle Of the week vir-
tually all of the squad should be
here and Manager Smith will be-
gin to sort them over and make
plans for packing the excess play
ers to smaller clubs and to weld
the remainder into a good, stout
team.
It will be a long while, at that,
before Smith will let out any play
ors, lie is an awful bug for hold
ing on to his men and giving them
every chance in the world. If he
had Ty Cobb in center field and
some kid was also trying for the
Job he would give him two chances
to Cobb'S one, just in the hope that
he would develop into something.
1t isn't often that Smith has as
many raw kids to work with as he
has this year. And he's tickled
pink, for developing kids is one of
ms specialties. He takes more pride
In developing one kid into a real
BAH player than he does in getting

Grand Master of Masons in the Valley
Of Mexico Brings Grave Charges
Against Henry Lane Wilson.

New York.-Luis Manuel Rojas,
second vice-president of the Mexican
chamber of congress has filed series
of remarkable charges against Henry
Lane Wilson, ambassador from the
United States to Mexico.
Besides holding the official rank In
dictated, Rojas is one of the most i'm.
portant Masonic officers in Mexico, be.
ing grand master of that nation.
Rojas accused Wilson of being re-
sponsible morally for the political as.
sassination of Francisco l. Madero
and Jose Maria Pine Suarez, president
and vice-president of the Mexican re-
public elected by the people in 1911.
He accuses Wilson Of having thrown
the weight of his enormous influence,
as representative of the government
at washington, for the triumph and in
favor of an evident coup d'etat at q
time when the destiny of Mexico was
in the balance.
Rojas declared Wilson knew Madero
and Suarez were to be put out of the
way, and declares: I accuse Mr.. vii
son of having washed his hands, like
plate, when the prisoners were not
allowed to leave for Europe after hav
ing signed for their designations, thus
mocking Mrs. Madero and Mrs Suarez
who, because of the assurances Mr.
Wilson made to them, were waiting
for their husbands at the Vera Cruz
railway depot"
