field of jumpers for the outdoor meets
of 1915 A careful study OF the work
Iof the college field athlete has shown
that the average OF proficiency Is lowest
in broad jumping. A number Of the
college track coaches, realizing this

New Workers Surprised
At Sale of Boston Braves

NEW YORK. Jan. Sat the ONCE or
James 4. Gafrne9 in this city ali
knowledge of the sale OF the Boston
Braves to Haughton and Wise was
denied. 1t was admitted that the pr1n-
cipaI owner OF the Braves was in Bos-
ton, but expected to return here last
night. John b. Foster. secretary OF the
National Exhibition Company. which
owns the Giants, said that nothing con-
corning the sale had been heard at his
office, and that II 1t were true 1t would
be a complete surprise to most OF
those interested in a business way IN
the National League. About one monTn
ago there was a rumor that Mr.. Gam
ney was about to offer the Braves Tor
sale, but when questioned he made an
emphatic denial.
Until 1914, when the Boston team ne
came the champions OF the world, the
Braves had not won a pennant in the
parent league since 1898. The OUTFIT was
generally classed as a rather inferior
organization until Mr.. Carney placed
Il in tho hands of George Stalllngs,
who made 1t a first-class club.
