WAS
POPULAR IN
i. OLDEN DAYS
Virgil and Homer Were Sport
ing Editors of Prominence
In Their Time
BY FRANK S. o'NEIl,
man New York State Boxing


Commission.
One OF the tests Of the popularity
of sport or game Is its universally.
Boxing is fostered and encouraged in
every land on the globe today. No
other sport can make such claim.
Why is boxing so popular? Why Is
It taken up by all nations? Just the
other day in the library at Forty
second street and Fifth avenue ] ran
across book on boxing published and
written by a Chinaman in the Chinese
language. 1t has been translated and
makes Interesting reading. It's long
cry from the days when Entellus and
Dares boxed as sung by Virgil, the
sporting writer of his day, down to
the days when boxing Is read about by
the sons of Confucius in their own
language. ..t.a
Virgil, Sporting Editor.
II the freshman in college who puz-
zles and struggles over Virgil and yet
who can name the champions In fisti-
ana from the days of Figg to Willard
would appreciate that Virgil and
Homer have given to posterity the
best description OF boxing match In
literature perhaps there would not be
so many low marks in those courses.
II the college professor wishes to in
terest his pupils in Latin and Greek
let him stick to the fights of antiquity.
One OF the most predominant instincts
in human nature is the instinct of self
preservation. In the early dawn of
life before the idea Of the Krupp gun
or the forces hidden in grain of nj
troglycerin entered into the mind Of
man. mans only defense was his fist.
1t was the only weapon given him by
the Creator. &
When Might Was Right.
That man who could use it best
placed himself at the head of the tribe.
He was the chief lister Might made
position There followed naturally
sort of hero worship. The supremacy
OF the fist passed to the supremacy
OF the sword, but man loved to play.
It's an instinct. Then came the trials
OF strength. From the little tests of
strength between men grew up the
wonderful Olympic games Of the Greek
years before the Christian era. In
these fights between men were the
most important and the most popu,
lar.
The Romans took up the prize fight
from the Greeks. When Rome ex-
tended its territory and the legions
from the Tiber camped on the Thames
they took along their games and their
fighters and they stamped on Eng
land that admiration for the success
full hero of the prize ring which is now
part and parcel of the English people.
From England 1t came to America.
to Australia, to Africa, to France and
now today 1t is the most popular OF
all games.
A word in passing for Willard, the
new champion. he is sterling Amer.
lean. i met him prior to his first ap
pearance in this city. He told me at
that time. that his one ambition in
life was to secure enough money to
educate and maintain his family. 4
feel certain that his character and
habits viii do much to elevate the
standard of boxing,

SAINTS And
KAMS TO PLAY
OFF THE Tie
LEAGUE.

The interscholastic baseball race
has resulted In a tie between st. Louis
and Kamehameha, each school having
lost but two games. These two teams
will meet this coming Saturday at the
Kamehameha Athletic field at 3 p. m.
and renew hostilities. Around the st.
Louis camp optimism prevails. They
have three twirlers to send TO the fir
ing line, every one of whom should
deliver first-class goods II called upon.
AS Nye pitched a 10 to 3 victory for
the Saints Va. Mills last Monday II
is probable that Baptiste will be CALI
ed upon to do the heaying. Should he
succumb to the murderous onslaughts
Of the enemy, H., Markham and III.
Nye will be hurried to the rescue.
The Kamehameha students are like
wise confident Of annexing the bunt-
ing next Saturday. Werner is strong.
and has the confidence of his team
mates and proved his mettle In the
last st. Louis-Kam game. Then there
is a new recruit in the person of All
Sam, who will deliver the goods II
called upon. with Pekelo in reserve
to resume the burden II necessity re-
quires.
This championship game as it looks
on paper should be b hummer and
both teams will be well represented
by host of loyal rooters Mr. Nc
Carthy and George Bruins win handle
the game and with such competent Of
ficials everything viii run off smooth.

the runner ahead of him. ~
The outfielder has a good many
more things to think of than the aY.
erage fan believes. When the bali Is
hit to, him the gardener must know
before it reaches him what to do with
that ball so that no valuable time be
lost after he gets it. One of the COM
monest mistakes of the amateur out
fielder Is to try for impossible plays
The average college player almost In
variably will throw the ball home. nc
matter II he hasn't one chance in a
million to retire runner going in
from second on q base hit. H.
This should not be done, even In a
close game, unless there is an even
chance to retire man at the plate
1t is better baseball to make sure of
stopping the batsman at first base, for
when ball is thrown home from the
outfield the man who hits il is going
down to second IL he is wise to the
game. From second he can score on
a single. but it takes two singles to
score a man from first base.
Ping Bodie, formerly of the White
Sox, once lost game without in the
least understanding why. and the fact
he never could understand was the
chief reason for his RELOCATION to, the
minors, because he repeatedly made
the same mistake. 1t happened while
Harry Lord was being tried out in the
left field, and the. game was against
Washington. The Sox had a lead Of
three runs in the seventh inning. A
Senator reached third base with one
out, and the next man hit fly to
Lord. With only one chance in q
thousand to throw out the runner al
the plate, Lord threw home after
catching the fly, because there was
no one else on the bases. The run
scored, and the Sox were only two
runs ahead.
In the eighth inning, with a Sena.
tor on second base and two out, the
next man hit single to Bodie in
center. Ping came up with the ball
and made swell throw to the plate,
but failed to stop the runner. who
scored from second. That let the man
who hit the ball get down to second
base, and single following put him
over with the run that tied the score.
The Sox eventually lost the game,
which they would have won II Bodie
had held that batsman on first base
in the eighth inning instead of trying
to head off a run which would not
have tied the score.
When Bodie was called down for it
he argued that he had a better chance
to throw out his man than Lord did
when the latter threw home In the
seventh, and he asserted that his
throw was better than Lords, and that
the reason he was called down and
Lord wasn't was because the latter
was captain of the team

MENTAL ERRORS ARE THE
ONES MANAGERS DESPISE

Errors in baseball are OF two kinds
mechanical and mental The young
player breaking into the game may
hang up perfect record mechanical.
ly, yet make so many mental mistakes
he will be passed up Oy his manager
as hopeless and may never know why
he failed. ... ..... T..
The mechanical error is overlooked
by everybody except the rabid fan.
He never forgiyes a ball player for
not holding every ball within reach,
no matter how hard ii is hit or how
slowly 1t is rolling; no matter how
much player is compelled to extend
himself merely 70 get the tips of his
fingers on drive. A ball that can
not be reached is base hit and every.
thing else an error The mental error
is overlooked by the rabid fan no mat.
ter how costly it may be, so long as a
fielder tries to do what the rooter
thinks he ought to try. ...... =:
The manager of a baseball team
pays little attention to the mechanical
error, even II II loses a game, because
he knows II was an accident and also
knows when ball bounds to an in.
fielder crookedly or when fly has
an ugly twist that makes it difficult
to negotiate, But the good manager
does not overlook the mental blunder
and will not soon forget or forgive it,
particularly IL Ii costs victory. -.
One of the hardest things for the
young player to learn is which play
to make when there is more than one
to be made An infielder has little
time to think after the ball Is hit, con-
sequently he must think out in ad-
vance every situation, what he. ought
to do II he gets the ball.
When the bases are empty there is
only one thing for the infielder or
outfielder to do, of course, and that is
to play for the batsman. But as soon
as a runner gets on, both in and out
fielders have something else to think
about. With q runner on first, If the
ball is hit to thehpitcher or an in.
fielder. he must decide before that
ball gets to him whether to make the
play to second to force the runner or
to throw, the ball to first.
There Is no time to decide after get
ting the ball. for an instant's hesita-
tion to survey the situation may re
suit in the. loss of both chances The
same Is true when there is a runner
on second or third. but with two or
three runners on the circuit the in.
flelders' troubles are not increased as
much as you would expect The rule
is to get the funter who is nearest
the plate II possible when the score
is close. but If he cannot be retired
the play usually is made on the bats.
man. When your team is safely in the
lead 1t is best to. play for the bats
man anyway, unless there is an easy
and absolutely sure chance to put out

"Nothing in the Paper"

When the news is scarce you
frequently pick up your local
paper, says All exchange, and
after glancing at the headlines,
wearily cast it aside, remark:
Nothing in the paper this
week." Did YOU ever stop to
think what that Nothing in
the paper this week" means?
1t means that in the week Just
passed no misfortune has be-
fallen anyone in our city, that
no fire has wiped out neigh
boris worldly goods, that the
grim messenger of death has
crossed no threshold of friend
that no man driven by liquor,
hatred or fear, has taken the
life of a fellow human: that no
one. haunted by the past, or
misdeeds of another, has cros-
sed the great divide by 'his own
hands. So the next time you
pick up a paper that doesn' t
announce a tragedy, give
thanks instead of lasnenting
because there isn't any news.

were 139 boys enrolled, two
sessions were held each day.
Lectures were given on horses,

Corn and potatoes.
Rope work, splicing tying
knots.
Making halters, etc.
Judging work was given in
all classes, the State Normal
School was thrown open to the
class with use of all its facilities
President Crane was a most
hospitable host, and to these
farmer boys the occasion was
one long to be remembered.
The business men of Ward
County made the course pos
sible by their generous finan-
cial assistance, surely the farm
er boy is being helped to help
himself these days.
The Minot Mid Winter Fair
was also in progress during the
week, and was a verv credible
exhibition, especially in it's agri-
cultural departments, the corn
exhibit being especially fine
with some 200 ten ear entries
and sets a new pace for the
other Counties to strive for.

The following verse was sent
in by an admirer of Ella w..
Wilcox requesting it's publica-
ton:
'Tis easy enough to be pleasant
When everything flows along
like a song;
But the man worth while,
Is the man who will smile
When everything goes dead
wrong.
For the test OF the heart is
trouble,
And it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth
the praise of earth,
Is the smile that comes through
tears.
Ella W. Wilcox.
