BOUT IS SANCTIONED
BY Police GAZETTE
Turner to Meet Gardner at Lyceum
Friday for Belt and Worlds Title.

Manager Lea, of the Lyceum Theater,
who is promoting the middle-weight
wrestling bout for the worlds title and
the Police Gazette belt on Friday night
between Joe Turner. the holder OF the
belt, and "Pinky" Gardner, the Western
cyclone, received word yesterday from
Maurice Gillespie. the managing editor OF
the Police Gazette. that he would have
representative present on Friday night.
In all professional bouts. that involve
the worlds title and the Police Gazette
belt, the Police Gazette authorities insist
on having a representative present so as
to see that the match is run of suitable
to all parties concerned. Gillespie will
attempt to be present himself II he can
possibly make the trip.
When the Police Gazette authorities
put their sanction on a match the holder
of the honors is compelled to turn over
the belt and purse to their representa-
tive and the winner Of the match is i'm
mediately recognized by them as the
champion and defender Of the title.
Gardner is working hard at local
gym preparing for this match as he
realizes that II he Is defeated in this
bout he will lose great deal Of
the popularity that he now holds in the
ewes of the local followers of the mat
game. Pink" is below the required
weight of 15s pounds and claims that he
will easily tip the beam on Friday night
Turner Is at present In the best shape
of his career and should Gardner defeat
him, he will have no alibi to offer.

COACHING BAD JOB
FOR NERVOUS MAN

Dec. R.-"1've often wondered" asks Sol
Metzger, Whether anything can COM
pare with the nervousness, the worry
and the fretting that a coach must un-
derso during the big games in which
his team figures
Metzger. a star Of the PENNSYLVANIA
teams Of a decade or SO now, now is
coach of the W. & J. eleven.
In the days when I played football,
always was keyed up to the highest
notch for days before our big games, -
he added. Il couldn't sleep nights think
Ing about the game; trying to map out
plays to be made. I was nervous and
anxious for the game to start. And
SO II was with all the boys But the
minute the hckoff was made all the
nervousness was gone. The strain was
over-the game was on.
But how different 1T is with q coach
He's just as nervous as any Of his men.
And that nervousness does not leave
him when the game begins Rather, II
increases. He must sit near the side
lines and watch his men IN action From
his viewpoint. he can see many errors;
many opportunities. But he Is practical
ly helpless. He is almost overmastered
by wild impulse to jump onto the field
and help out his boys. When he sees
the opposition racing through the lines
Of mis- team, or skirting the ends at
viii, he is wild to go in there and help
bolster up those weak spots.
But all that he can do Is to sit and
watch and worry-and hope.

TWO LOCAL ATHLETES
MAKE GOOD At Penn
Ray Wallace. of St. Albans. and Peck,
of Western. Star as Freshmen.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-Two Washington
lads have made good at Old Penn. Ray
Wallace, whose work was so sensational
as an end on the freshman eleven, that
he was picked as an all-Freshmen end
and H. r. Peck, who had made the Red
and Blue freshman basketball I'VE as
center
Wallace was a member Of the St Al
bans football and track teams His
work was so determined and steady that
Coach Lon Jourdet played him as end on
the Freshmen team and in the game with
the Cornell hrst-year men, he prevented
single inch Of earth from being gained
around his end.
Peck is playing center on the freshman
tve, one Of the fastest the Red and Blue
has ever turned out. Penn won the bas-
ket-ball title from Yale, Princeton, Cor
nell and Columbia last season, but when
the Western High School Lad stacks up
against the varsity IN the practice game,
he shows even better than he does when
toiling against the second freshman
eleven. Peck will supplant Art Jeffords
on the Varsity five next season and he is
being groOmed now so that he will make
good when he goes into the lntercoIIe-
giate league for his trial
The Freshmen defeated the Trade
School a to Il, and they were never IN
danger. Peck was only allowed TO play
for one half but he rang I'd half a
dozen field goals during the time he was
permitted to have q goal tossing feast

collegiate season Is scheduled to be
played today at the Kendell Green gym

takes the floor against the crack Balti-
more City College team, at 4:a8 p. m

In a long while and reports from Balti-
more claim that they have one of the
fastest working machines in their his
tory.
Gallaudet will take the floor today
minus two of its last seasons regulars
but Coach Haas has rounded out q fast
working, sure shooting combination and
one that has a great defense. Captain
R Wenger will play the right forward
position with Wilson of last seasons
team in the other shooting position. Will
liams will do the jumping with Cloud
and A Wenger doing the guarding.
Coach Haas expects to use most Of The
players in the squad in this contest h

EXHIBITION STUFF
DOES NOT GO GOOD
Minor League May Cut Out Practice
Games in Early Season.

New York, Dec. n-Minor league base
ball magnates are fast losing their ap-
pefites for exhibition games with major
league teams on their annual spring
junketing trips. Time was when the com
ing Of a major league ball club to q town
in the rural districts Of baseball was her
aded as a gala affair by the minor league
owner. But the exhibition stuff doesn't
sit well on his palate now. The fans in
the minor circuits are still willing to
spend their loose sheckels to watch the
big fellows cavort about their sand lots,
bet these same fans can live just as hap
PLY without exhibition games, and the
small league club owner will profit in the
long run
When the National Association met re-
Gently in New Orleans there was an un-
dercurrent of sentiment expressed against
exhibition games and, although the sub
ject was not discussed in open meeting,
the writer discovered that II was gen.
eraL especially among minor league club
owners in sections where most Of the big
league teams do their training.
Al T. Baum. who does the presidenting
skit for the Pacific Coast League. was
|p-haps the most willing Of all the minor
leaguers to talk on the subject Baum's
league put the crusher on the exhibition
idea in the winter of 1916, and. according
to the genial Al. his club owners will
maintain their stand when they hold their
1916 meeting.
The coast league is largely a California
organization, and. althous California is
ever willing to extend the heartiest of
welcomes to visiting major league clubs.
the owners Of teams in the coast league
have found that the invaders do more to
harm than to boost their business.
TT Is a matter of self-preservation," |"
said Baum at the New Orleans meeting.
We do not mean to be inhospitaole,
but we have to look out for the Pacific
Coast League first, last and all the time.
In years when major league teams visited
our section Of the country to train and
play exhibition games in our cities we
Mound that much of the glamour was
taken from the opening of our season
The fans hocked to the ball parks
to see the big fellows In action. and II
our teams failed to make a good showing
against them the interest began to lag
before We had a chance to ring up the
certain.
AS you know, we play a longer sched-
uIe than any other league In the country,
and II Is easy to see that when the base
ball public gets a line on the various
teams from the strength they show In
exhibition games against the same major
leaxue outfit the edge IL taken on the In
terest before We open our gates"
This opinion seems to be gaining z
foothold among all minor league oluh
ownsrs. and in this period Of reconstruc-
ton among the minors 1t 10 only natural
that they leave no stone unturned to help
them recoup their losses Of the past three
or four yeArs
Many prominent baseball men believe
that It u only Q question Of time until
the exhibition game VIII become . moss
covered relic Of the past, and with the
minors gaining confidence In their Or
.yanization and its power TO do things the
outlook for the exhibition stun II far
from brilliant.

The Guy Who Can Never Be Told.

Dear Folks:
A III guy named Willie weinstein writ

tn greatest bugaboo that looms up in
tn path Of q rooster who's tryin' Z
make good o. course tn letter was
intended for Mr.. Orison SWEET Marden,
or some o. them top-notch scribblers on
tn editorial page. but tn kid won't have
1t that way, an l wish you could see
him struttin' around. He set up all night
arrangin' tn followin' for Willie wein-
stein, so here you are. Willie!
As you journey through life with its trials
an strife you'll run across many queer
guys.
There's tn sluggard. tn hustler. tn
quick-thinkin' rustler, an tn gink
who. though slow, always tries.
But tn saddest of all to be met on tn
mall, in your every day hunt for tn
gold.
Is without doubt, tn know-it-all lout.
TIL guy who can never be told.
You'll find him at home. You'll find him
abroad. You'll find him in all walks
o. life.
He'll explain to your boss. He'll explain
It t you, an then try e explain to
your wife.
A lot OF his dope is of far-reachin' scope,
an sounds like good logic of old.
But when he gets through tn thing that
strikes you.
Is tn fact he can never be told
He's out q be praised. It's tn way he's
been raised. so 1t amt altogether his
fault.
He wouldn't change IL he could. an
couldn't II he would. which makes him
worth less than his salt.
While his stun is brand new he might
force 1t through, but God help him
when 1t starts t get old!
For tn world soon gets hep to them with

Like tn guy who can never be told
So. IL when you meet this poor boob on
tn street, pray don't waste your time
with hot talk!
Just toss him mice day then be on
your way, an leave him tn whole
of tn walk.
It might seem a shame. but don't stop
t blame this self-centered. know-it-

He'll soon wonder why an then you can

It's because you can never be told!
