PUGILIST-E EV VANGEIIST ~ SET PRECEDENT FOR BILLY
 SUNDAY

Billy Sunday is not the first man who won early fame as a professional athlete to turn to the pulpit and achieve fame and snekels by saving souls. Perhaps the most celebrated or Eilly's forerunners was William Thompson, peter known in sporting circles as Bendigo, who was by turn pugilistic champion of England, keep CT of pub" a notorious drunkard, and finally an evangelist and preacher or the Gospel His language as Il sky pilot was quite as original and quaint as that now affected by the baseball evangelist" and his meet ings in London and elsewhere in Eng land attracted vast crowds.
 Bendigo's memory as pugilist and parson is perpetuated by a monument erected in Nottingham, England, twenty-four years ago today, June l., 1891. It is slumbering lion, full life size, cut in stone, and bears this inscriptions "In life always brave, fighting like lion; in death a lamb tranquil in Zion.'
 Bendigo died in Nottingham in 1880. He was forty years old when he last defended his title defeating Tom Paddock, a much younger man That battle, fought in 1850, was his last in the ring, and thenceforth for many years he devoted his entire att tention to fighting the booze" He

 was always in trouble. He spent
 much of his time in jail, and it was tbere that he was converted by prs soh chaplain. One of his favortte tricks was to enter pub and aft-

There may not be quite as much of the Hip-hip or as much or the widely heralded spectacular to Cornelps ath- sletfc work as there is to the athletic endeavors of other universities.
 But in the matter of all-around, up- and down athletic. efficiency embracing every variety of sport there is no move left except to concede the Ithaca stronghold supremacy by a wide mar gin.
 The Headlincr.
 ts Harvard and one or. two others carry a slight annual margin in foot ball over the Carne1ian and White. Once in a while Colum bia, Yale or Harvard beat her on the water. Here and there Princeton and others beat her on the diamond or at basketball But we are talking here Of a general annual average of all sports-and in this general average of efficiency Cor He'll comes first.
 Her recent sweep at the intercol- lcgiate games was fairly typical of Cornell ways. Her triumph was over whelming, but it was not achieved by any one or two or three super-stars of the Ted Meredith type. Tn fact, Cor nell put only small average out in front of the field. It was not the bril- fancy of any one Or two men. but the general excellence, of her entire clan, that rolled back the rema1nder of the contending field and established Ithaca as the capital city.
 The Proper sys.em.
 Cornell athletics are not matter of producing few prize specimens en- f3 G IN power They are rather the matter of lifting the average of the many where the multitude are benefited rather than the few. Her entire system is az sane and wholesome as any athletic system could be. whatever the sport, and her decided eminince is more than deserved.
 The grand old commonwealth of Ohio has furnished her full share of presidents and more than double her share of tail-enders.
 Why is it that Cleveland and Cin- cinnati can do no better in baseball ?'' asks H. l.. K. They both developed the wrong, habit thirty years ago and no one has ever been able to point them into higher pastures and nobler deeds. Showing the tremendous power of habit.

Men vs. System.


 Tn case of war''-we extract this from an exchanges Amer1ca has the men to beat any military system in the world.'' a
 This statement reminds us of a cer tain football battle we once watched with "Hurry-up'' Yost. One eleven had only average looking material of fair weight and speed-but it had heen coached with fine system of knowledge and strategy. It knew football and all the kinks thereof
 The other eleven had one of the finest looking collections of human flesh any one would care to see. It had the men-big men, fast men players of courage who fought every foot of ground. After five minutes of play Yost made this remark, the score being to 0-"It's a crime to send a good game bunch of youngsters to the field knowing so little or the game That first club knows football and will drive the other off the map And the first team, with the system, beat the second team, with the men, about 22 to 0, as we recall the count
 Why are present day ball players so easily hurt ?" queries an inquiring bystander. Because they are more valuable. And the more valuable any piece of bric-a-brac is the more brittle it is, whether it be on the diamond or in the pantry.
 Just at present Ty Cobb only leads all leagues in batting, base hits, runs scored and stolen bases. But the season is young yet, and he should get going with warmer weather to thaw out his Georgia blood. is the title of a small volume Just re- ceived. It leaves us strangely cold, not to say clammy. What we are looking for is Lessons on how not to have to use a niblick.''
 The White sox F1urry.
 We note where one contemporary figures the White Sox will soon be due for sudden drift down hill. Back in 1912,' he writes, the Sox led the race until June and then collapsed: 1915 will probably be a repetition of 1912"
 Only the case is by no means the same. In 1912 the White Sox pumped along in front because Ed Walsh was pitching and winning every other game. They depended upon one slab man, and when the rubber began to wear out in his shoulder there was nothing to it but the Soapy Chute
 But for the present campaign the Sox have not only greatly improved club, with Eddie Collins and others. but, in addition to Mr. Red Urban TNAI IA~& I~~I I -1- Scott, Russell, Cicotte, Benz and others capable of pegg1ng the pill with more or less eclat and insidious cunning.
