SPORTING COMMENT

Murphy, his next real opponent,
is eliminated from all considera-

he carries guns enough for the
champion, despite his excellent
showing in defeating Wolgast
short time back over the route.
OTHERS figured that Richie
did not show top notch form.
mat his hitting was not up to the
mark, that he showed extreme
nervousness Just before starting
the contest and generally acted in
way that real champion
should he ashamed OF. While
these same people were not will

thought that Charley White had

because OF his crushing left hand

" you can see from TINS that
- Charley has a lot of friends
around here and that they are
sticking for and with him. Which
brings TO mind remark that
Nate Lewis, Whites manager
made at the conclusion Of the
contest in Milwaukee. He looked
thouGhtfnl and then said: There
are champions. Ell? Well, then.
Charley White is the next cham

TITO THOSE collegians Of the pres

that there We're practically no
intercollegiate sports some 90 years
ago. it is a mystery how they put in
their spare time in that bygone age,
and how they kept from shrivelins
up into a little, hard, dry knot That
is a story this column may one day
go into.
Then again within the writer's
own recollection there were so few
different kinds of sport that prac-
tically only one was on tap at a
time, In the fall we had football,
in the winter a few indoor track
meets, in the spring baseball and
outdoor track thletics. and some
colleges had rowing and tennis One
could keep up with what was doing
in all phases of college sport the
