Oregon are winter grain crops, said
Professor Shaw. r. r. Johnson of
Hermiston eulogized the American

White Champion VIII Take
Boxing Lessons; Lutte McCarty
MustB Be Taught How to Punch

to pull his punches" or draw back
his body hastily just as he shoots
out the. left. Thus he loses much
of his force, because it is an old
principle of boxing that. man can
not land effectively by shooting his
hand one way and his body an
other. A mere tap results.
1t will be Gilmore's aim to get
the big fellow to swing his body
along with his punches and thus
get all of the force possible back of
the fist. The trick of stiff -arming
also will be taught-the best blows
in boxing being those that are
landed with the arm rigid and with
out bent elbow. There is a cush-
ion formed when the elbow is bent,
and the same force can not be OBJ
tanned.
Luther is said also to guard
clumsily with his right hand and to
incline to a round arm punch with
that weapon. At any rate, Gill
more will spar with him and then
be in a position to discover HIS
more glazing faults.
1t has been the history Of boxing
that a man usually does best in his
most natural style. When g. fighter
is successful in his own way 1t is a
dangerous matter to try to teach

TTERES about the newest win
kle in the fighting game
the white champion Of the
world is going to take some boxing
lessons!
Though Luther McCarty won the
title in clean and decisive fashion,
his manager does not believe he
knows how to hit right
Hence he is going to turn him
over to one of the most capable in
structors in the business and see II
his form can not be improved.
can't you hear Jack Johnson and
some of the others of the quartet
known as the Ebony Four" laugh
when they read about It?
Well. at any rate, the contract
has been made. and Harry Gilmore,
veteran lightweight fighter of Chi
cago and one of the best handlers of
fighters in the business, has been
selected to give the champion the
f1rst-and, by the way, the only
lessons In boxing he ever had.
Billy Mccartney, McCarty's man
ager, made the arrangements for
the lessons Thursday when he was
in Chicago. He long has had the
idea IN mind and always picked
Gilmore for the Job. When he was
there he found Harry and had long
chat with him about the matter
They came to terms without any
trouble
The first OF the lessons will be
given to McCarty some time before
his next important battle. He will
spend at least two weeks training
in Chicago and during that period
will be in the hands of the veteran
Canadian fighter constantly.
ut may be a biz surprise and a
huge innovation to have a cham
pion take boxing lessons, but that's
exactly the idea" Mccartney told
me. THE whole truth of the mat
ter Is this: McCarty does not hit
correctly with his left hand. He
doesn't get the right power or force
behind his punches; and l am going
to find out the reason OF this.
IF his faults can be corrected,
why not right now? They say 1t is
impossible to teach an old dog new
tricks, but | don't believe McCarty
is so old now that he can not be
broken of former habits and made
to hit correctly"

recent bouts declare that the big
fellows main fault is his inclination

MEN BEGIN
REGULAR WORK
ON DIAMOND

TIME first outdoor practice Of
the Tech baseball squad was
held at the Tech flats Monday
afternoon. The workout was a
good one, and it looked more like
an April ''warmup" than a Febru-
airy condition practice"
The work consisted mostly of the
old cut-and- dried stuff of running
around the track, batting a few
very easy limbering up in that mill
lionaire style which is peculiar to
the college ball player who is first
getting the old grandstand whip
into shape. In a few days the
cutting will begin, as the squad is
entirely too large for Coach Heis-
man to handle with any concen-
trated effect. Full many a Cobb
is born to play unseen and waste
his greatness on the old back lot"
is the motto of the Jacket coach.
There seems to be an unusually
large amount of interest shown
this spring, and the men are taxi
ing to work like a duck to water.
The indirect cause of this is that
the competition for places is so
strong and that the man in con-
dition first will have first try at the
place; and if he makes good, it is
good night to the. other fellow who
has just driven up with a slender
waist line and clear light in his
eyes.
Baseball is expected to take a
boom at the Flats as soon as the
new stadium is completed, as there
is nothing that a good ball player
likes better than good grounds and
whole grandstand full of people.
The new stadium will be one Of
the finest in the country, and the
diamond will be as excellent as
good, experienced labor can make II.

Bodley had to go four days without
eating. Hot water was his only nourish-
ment during this period, but he reported
daily for work on the track. At the end
of the four days the men daily ate dozen
eggs for six days. Nothing but eggs was
