HE TRAINS AMONG PRIESTS
FOR A PRIZE RING PUNCH
Jim Coffey Is at Maryknoll, Near Ossining, But Instead
of Studying to Be a Missionary He Is Harden
ing Up for Moran Bout.

Many odd places nave been chosen by
prize fighters for the "getting-into-
shape" process which precedes a big
bout. but Jim Coffey. the Roscommon
giant. has selected the most unusua
of all.
Jim is to meet Frank Moran late in
August or early in September, and he
is hardening up in q. Roman Catholic
seminary. Maryknoll, near Ossining. an
institution conducted by the Catholic
Foreign Mission Society of America
The big Irishman arises at the same
early hour as the seven priests and
three lay brothers who are connected
with Maryknoll. and is out working
on the big farm adjoining the seminary
not long after sun-up. He ploughs.
harrows. rolls the fields. weeds in the
gardens, wheels truck around in a bar
row and does all the hard work of a
farmland.
Before he retires at night-which
happens at about the hour his prize
ring admirers down In the city begin
to think about starting for one of the
clubs to see a bout-Jim. being a de-
vout Catholic. takes part in the re-
ligious exercises which the priests con-
duct.
Not Really Using the Gloves.
He is not doing any actual boxing
at Maryknoll, but he is going through
all the other stunts of the preliminary
training of a fighter.
Coffey's presence at the seminary
and his ardent devotion at the religious
ceremonies gave rise to a report a few
days ago that he had retired from the
ring and was to become a Catholic
missionary. AS Jim is only twenty-five
years old and is unmarried, this might
be possible. But he says it is not so.
He is not through with the ring by
any means. and he never will retire.
he asserts, until he beats Moran.
Cofey. who was a Third Avenue
motorman when his fighting ability
was discovered, rose like a meteor in
the boxing world, and was seriously
regarded as a worthy opponent for Jess
Willard until Moran. the big blond Pitts
burgher. swung that famous Mary
Ann punch (the only one he has)
against Jim's jaw back in the latter
part of 1915.
Jim was out.

MACk'S
EFFORTS
RESPECTED
By Fl. c. HAMILTON
Omitted Press star Correspondent.

NEW YORK. July 20.-More and
more the efforts of Connie Mack. silent
leader of the Athletics, are gaining re-
spect among the big ~leaguers. The pre-
diction made by himself when he began
to white off the stars with which he
had won several worlds championships.
that he would be back in the race by
1917. has not been realized, but he has
succeeded in making the name Philadel-
phia once more to be feared in the
American league.
Discussing Mack and his newly made
team recently. Bill Donovan said that
he would rather play almost any club
in the league than send his men into
a contest against the Mackmen.
They won't win any p%ennants this
year, Donovan commented. but they're
going to fight mighty hard for every
game they go into. From his time on
they're going to improve. I'm a mighty
mistaken student of this national pas
time If the Athletics are not found
kicking considerable dust around before
the end Of the 1918 campaign gets here"
Donovan fgures-and so does every
other baseball manager who has had a
glimpse of him-that Ray Bates is one
of the finest players the minor leagues
have yielded IN many a day. He also
believes Witt the equal of any short
stop in the American league. with the
possible exception of Roger Peckin-
paugh. his own short fielder. Second
base is a problem. but McInnis is fully
the equal. perhaps the superior of any
man doing first base duty.
There isn't a thing wrong with that
outfeld of Connie Mack's," Donovan rue
fully remarked. Il only wish 1 had
a pair of those birds working for me.
/ might have a chance to win a pen
nant before he makes the going so
rough"
Where is the manage who wouldn't
like to have Bush. Myers and Noyes
pitching for him. and where, oh. where
can you find a big Lacquer who wouldn't
spend several thousand dollars for
Wallie Schang.
The foundation has been built for an
other fine baseball team in Philadelphia.
Managers and baseball men ryw
believe il is due.

Sporting Editor TIMES. Dear Sir:
Young Jordan will be on hand July 26
TO wrestle Curley Davis. He will be
accompanied by a large delegation of
Chicago Greeks who think him invinc-
ible and a real champion.
For the good of the sport 1 sincere
ly hope that Davis is as good as his
press work indicates.
If he isn't then the Hammond sports
will see their wrestling representative
land so fast on his back as to cause a
small size imitation of a dynamite ex-
plosion. Nuff sed. remain.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Measure of German Defeat.

1t is not so very clear that Germany
acknowledging that her military power
is broken will be entitled to immediate
peace from the United States and the
allies. Some proof Of the fact will be
required. Germany has not earned such
a reputation for good faith and truthful.
ness in the last three years as to entitle
her to any consideration upon her mere
word She is quite capable of aeknowl.
edging defeat for the simple purpose of
getting respite and recognizing her mil
itary power for another drive for world
rule.
What must be looked forward to is the
real defeat of Germany, plain, palpable,
unmistakable, her armies broken and in
retreat, her soil invaded, her dominant
clique In such mood of submission as to
give tangible guarantees of good be-
havior as long as they live. A peace
based on a mere breath of air or scrap of
paper would be valueless to the world.
The present expenditureof all the ma
tions in wealth, in time, in energy, in
pain, in blood, in life, can only be justi-
field by one thing. That thing is the
complete overthrow of Prussian aggres-
sion such as has made Europe an armed
camp for generation and at last filled it
with desolation. Nothing less is of any
use,-New York Evening Sun.

all the money necessary properly to
equip their new clubhouse with athletic
apparatus and musical instruments has
just been received by the American sail

gives them what amounts to carte

The first step upon receipt Of the vel

the United States for 1000 worth Of
musical instruments to augment the

The British Strike Again.

After two weeks of depressing news
from the Russian front a new major Of
fensive by the British is cheering The
first day was a successful drive of the
attacking power of the British army.
Twice this year the British have
proved their ability to press forward and
wrest large and important sections Of
line from the Germans. The blows de-
livered at Vimy and Messines Ridges
smashed the German lines, but they did
more. High ground which had been in
German hands for more than two years
was taken by the British The crest of
ridge means an observation point. The
army which holds il can look down on
its adversary The previous British
drives have taken the strategic advan-
tage from the Germans. The British are
on top.
The present drive may have as its OBJ
ject loosening of the German hold on
the Belgian coast. Submarine bases may
be an important object of attack in ad-
dition to strategical points on land. If
this is the case the German defense viii
be all the more desperate. They must
protect their U-boats, for in them is thes
German hope of staving off defeat.
This year, for the first time. the Brit
ish army has shown itself capable of Civ
ing the kaiser's military machine blow
between the eyes at any desired point of
the line. Previous efforts at advance
were always hindered by lack of mu-
nitions. Now the problem of feeding the
British guns appears to have been solved.
The bombardment in the region Of Arras
this spring was the most terrific ever
known. Yet with all the available guns
in action for days only seven per cent
of the store of shells was expended in
creating that inferno.
The increased efficiency of the British
armies is based on the great achieve |
ments of the British ministry of NUM-
tions. Guns for the great offensives have
not only been produced in sufficient num-
bers to make powder Of concrete German !
trenches in France, but the Italians and /
to certain extent, the Russians have
been supplied with them. Shells have
been piled up back of the British lines in
such numbers that shortage is impossi-
BILE for months to come. The value of Il
this intensive artillery fire is shown by n
