Amateur Athletes Adopt New Rules
-:I:- -:I:- -:I:- -:I- -:Il:-
Preachers Baseball Game Is Exciting

- HICAGO, Ill, June 20.-Three new
rules have been adopted by the
- faculty committee Of the Inter
collegiate Conference Athletic assOcia-
ton at its annual meeting. The pro-
posals were;
l. That athletes be allowed 10 COM
pete IN only two branches Of sport
during the scholastic year.
2. That a conference athlete cannot
try out for an Olympic team under the
tutelage OF an athletic club coach, but
must be coached by his college mentor
or train himself for the event.
g. Any student or athlete may take
charge Of a playground where gymnas-
tic ability is not required without jeO-
pardiztng his amateur or collegiate
athletic standing.
The general argument IN favor OF
the first proposal is that participation
in more than two branches OF sport
impairs a mans health and leaves him
unfit 10 pursue his studies.
The Chicago Baptist Ministers asso-
went TO Lincoln park, organized two
baseball teams. the Blues and the Reds,
and played a nine inning game.
The sensation OF the contest was the
Rev. R E. Manning, p years old. cen
ter fielder Of the Blues. DR.. Manning
was all over center garden. stabbing
them in the air and scOopinE up low
ones like a professional He made sew
eral hard catches and in five times
at bat got three hits and drove in two
runs.

a decisive punch IN the first round or
two Moran Will surely come home the
winner"
wish I felt the same way about ii
Brady does. While there is little doubt
that Johnson has gone a swift gait
anywhere near the form Of four years
ago, still Moran is not my choice Of
white heavy TO send after that title
What has Frank ever done to entiIe
him TO the chance-Over Gunboat
Smith and less Willard Johnson may
not be in very good shape. but IL viii
not take n great fighter TO beat Mo-
ran II Frank wins he Will be very
lucky young man
VIII Not Risk Laurels.
And rest assured he will not give
Smith or Willard the opportunity 10
prove him a poor excuse for n cham
pion- Not while Danny McKettrick
has him IN charge anyway. The plan
will be-in the event Of victory-to
take Moran on tour OF the world eX-
hibiting him as the man who brought
back the proud title Of heavyweight
champion OF the world TO the white
race. That will get the money any
where and ought 10 be good for a
couple Of years Of money making with
out Frank having 10 put on glove IN
q regular contest
In the meantime Smith and Willard
will probably have settled which Is the
better man, and as soon as Moran
elects TO return TO the ring I viii be
ready TO wager a few dollars that his
reign as champion ends right there
VIII Put II in Camphor.
But that's enough or that dream
Let US wait another week and see
what happens. The worst luck I wish
Moran is that he wins. But 1 hate 10
think Of what he viii do with that
title II he does cop it. Goodbye TO
the championship dreams OF Gunboat
and willard Moran will put the title
away in camphOr and the rest OF the
'.ho1es~ can 20 hang themselves for
all he will care. Danny Mckettrlck
has engineered the whole deal and
solely to his untiring efforts Frank
Moran owes a chance that come 20
mighty few heavyweights in lie
time.

Richie Hus Fought a Lot.
Willie Richie, lightweight champion,
has been Ibeled by all persons VINO
claimed that he has mixed up IN only
about six fights since he became cham
piOu- Willie has mingled In at least
20 bouts-six OF them staged in a ring
and the other Il staged IN various
places where persons meet to sign up
articles for fights.
Taking II from Willie, who expressed
himself before his departure for dear
old I.unnon. those fights over terms and
conditions are harder than a real scrap.
In q scrap, Willie points out one has
but one opponent and when one gets
soaked one usually gets soaked from
only one direction, but in battling over
terms Willie has found that he's had
TO fight nearly an army Of managers, as
sistant managers, stake holders. law

any angle
"And you have to be mighty darned
careful" remarked Willie, because II

Although both Neff and Gillies have
each won two legs OF the cup, with

therefore will again start even with
all other players.

y for Billy Murray he will not
l. have to meet Mike Gibbons in
the near future. Instead OF matching
Murray with Gibbons. the Californian's
manager has decided to accept the Of
fer made by Jim Coffroth for a 20
round go with George Chip on July I.
Murray may lick Chip. but Gibbons
now.
when Murray fought Mccoy here
the first time he looked a much bet
ter prospect than on the second trial.
I don't know what was the matter
with Billy, II there was anything
wrong with him at all, but he certainly
did not look near so well as on the
occasion Of his debut IN the east II
may have been that he was affected
by the great heat-which he was en-
cOuntering for the first time. I don't
know. He put up mighty poor bat
tie; that's a sure thing
Murray Seemed slower.
Murray started out with his usual
aggressiveness, but he was slow and
his punches carried little weight. When
the first round was over his pep" was
gone After that he just plOdded along.
Il was a lucky thing for him that Nc
Coy IS timid and afraid 10 take a
chance As an aggressive fighter Nc
Coy Is a Joke as a peaceful one he IS
in the William Jennings Bryan class.
Murray is no Stanley Ketchel He
hasn't the speed OF the late cham
pion or anything near it In fact
will not be surprised II George Chip
outclasses him in the coming battle.
At any rate his manager made a wise
move IN dropping negotiations for
bout with Gibbons.
May Develop in Time
Murray may develop into something
worth while in time He is young
His style and aggressiveness in the
first bout with Mccoy indicated that
he had the 'makings" Of a fighter in
him. and one naturally looked for an
Improvement in form the next time
out. But the improvement was not
there Mccoy put up his usual quail
ity Of fight; Murray's performance was
a big slump in form.
As an exhibition OF scientific boxing
the Nurray-NcCoy bout was an awful
bust. and the big crowd that turned
