CAUGHT GERMAN CRUISERS
UNAWARES OFF FALKLANDS

1t was a formidable British squad
ron which faced the Germans. Includ-
ed in it were the battleship Campus,
the battle cruisers Invincible and In
flexible and the cruisers Kent, Corn
wall, Carbarvon, Bristol and Glasgow.
1t far unmatched in strength the
German squadron, consisting of the
five cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau,
Leipzig, Nurnberg and Dresden.
The British squadron arrived at Port
Stanley, Falkland islands on Dec. to
take on supplies. The next morning
the Campus sighted a hostile warship.
Four others quickly came into view
and were recognized as the squadron
of Admiral Won Spec. The German
warships had left the Chilean islands
of Juan Fernandez on Nov. Is for the
Falkland islands, to take poss esson
of the islands and destroy the wireless
station.
Attack Campus
Only the Campus was visible at first
to the Germans, who steamed straight
at her. The Campus opened fire and the
other British warships rushed to her as
sstance.
The Scharhorst Gneisenau and Leipzig
formed in battle line. The Nurnberg and
Dresden, however. dropped back from the
firing line.
Bravery of Germans
The British warships concentrated
their fire on the Scharnhorst. which sank
after an hours fighting When it be-

CHARLIE WHITE
To BOX CROSS
IN MILWAUKEE

i@HICAGO, Feb 16.-Milwaukee S
effort to bring Jimmy Coffroth
here from San Francisco TO
stage a boxing show has at last been
rewarded. The dean of fight pro-
meters will leave the Coast within a
week for Chicago. He will arrange q
card for March 3 in the Beer City.
Coffroth is not making a special trip
of it. He's coming on business, and
has consented, to act while here. The
main attraction is going to be Charlie
White and Leach Cross, according TO
word from sunny jim" Coffroth Is
not invading Wisconsin as a rival pro-
moter, or with any intention to stir up
feelings among the boys who run
clubs there. He is coming as an
agent for the Riverciew Athletic Club
and will act only as matchmaker.
James is booster for the fight
game and he hopes that the way in
which he will handle this show will be
of some aid to the Milwaukee crowd
He is working on a salary and his
work will be open to all who have any
connections with the Wisconsin
game. Coffroth recently closed with
Cross, who is now on his way here.
White has accepted. The March show
and possibly another one will be ham
died exclusively by Coffroth, and then
he will return to the West to prepare
for, his match between Willie Richie
and Tommy Murphy.

TT is a great pity that track athlet-

l. upon the affections of the public
in the South as they have in the
North. This is one of the prettiest
forms of pure athletic work we have
and one of, he4wQrthiest, and from
the point of view of sound common

An Olympic winner of the hundred
or OF the Marathon or the Penthalon
is esteemed a deal more highly by
folks of foreign countries than are
the stars of any other game of either
their land or ours.
American Rugby football and base
ball are peculiar to this country, and
we go wild over them. One would
think that we also would esteem
highly an athletic event that was
recognized as standard the world
over, such as running or jumping;
for in the former sports our cham
plons can only. be champions among
ourselves, and never world beaters-
since they can not enter into compe-
luton against the whole world in
either the. gridiron or the diamond
pastimes. Surely championship that
is worldwide and that has been won

Jack Johnson says 1t will take $4,000
to get him to fight Sam Langford In
London. From this distance it looks
very much as il the colored boxer will
have a difficult time getting a pro-

amount.
Daniel McKetricl is besieging the
American press with letters describing

The writer saw Terry Nelson. the
Greek battler, stop Jim Cronin in
Macon last week, and Terry looked

moter.
Mickey says his injured hand will be
in shape again before long and he would
like nothing better than 10 try it out

This is a body blow fright, for
Bradley was the only regular left

about the fastest man on the Tech
team. While light, he was chock

manner that no other member OF the
squad could approach. Besides his
persistency and physical endurance
kept him in the game at all stages.

able man.

been able to figure out. Having

we are not well prepared to fill his
shoes on short notice. 1t is going
to cut some ice with the final showing
OF the team, but there are a number
of men who have sufficient size and
athletic ability. though not perhaps
as much speed or experience as Brad
ley. Tally Johnston or Cushman-

ers and one or the other is likely to
fall heir to the vacancy.
