strictly scientific basis. There is
no sense in putting gloves on a
couple OF beginners and letting
them slug away at each other.
My pupils will first be taught how
to stand, how to deliver punch,
and how to block certain blows.
Each man will be instructed &C
cording to his needs.
"BOxing is the greatest thing
in the world for . man with q
quick temper. A dozen lessons
will make the biggest hOthead a
different man. 1t gives him a
checkrein ON his temper, and he
does not fly of the handle like
he once did"
Quite a number of young men
and boys attended the first lesson
last night, and it is plain that a
lively interest is being displayed
in the boxing class. Mr.. Coffman
expects still more beginners, and
figures on having a class Of about
25-a big class for the Y. M. G.
A. Age will be no bar to those
who want to take lessons. The
man of forty will be given as
much attention as a boy of ten,
should he want instruction.
The boxing class will meet
every Tuesday night, and about
two hours of instruction in the
manly art will be given by Mr..
Coffman.

Mr.. Coffman, who was Just ap-
pointed instructor q few days ago,
has been connected with the Y.
M. G. A. for several years, and is
we'll known for his ability as any
amateur boxer. He proposes to
introduce q certain system of in
struction. in his lessons, and not
attempt to carry them on In q
slipshod manner. His idea is to
begin his pupils with the very
rudiments and gradually build
them up.

play with Pittsburg next season.
year, he will stick, like nettles in
a setter pups ear.
"Swifty Joe" has been called
rabbit" because of his speed
when scampering about the out
field or along the base lines.
He leads Tip O'Neil's league
in stolen bases, having pilfered 81
in 148 games, which places him
in about the same class with
Clyde Milan, the Washington
speeder.
Kelley is there or thereabouts,
all the time. He was captain of
the st. Joe team this year. The
White Sox had him in 1919 and
sent him to Jack Holland for sea-
soning. Evidently JACK supplied
the zest.
Holland Is the man who had
Clyde Milan, before that sprinter
went to Washington. At that
time Holland was at Wichita,
Kan, with Frank Isbell.
Kelley gets on base often
enough to make his speed valu-
able. He has hit 1913 this year
and is one of the best walters in
the Western league.
