GIVING PUBLICITY
TO YOUNG RECTOR

Received at the Office the following:
Sporting Editor, The Bridgeport
Farmer. Bridgeport, Conn.
Dear Sir
Is it possible that Bridgeporters
have another boxer in their midst in
the person of Billy Defoe Of st. Paul,
but now Of Bridgeport, who will go
along in the wake Of Young McAul-
life, and adopt the same methods of
picking his opponents?
The reason for asking this question
is; after sending challenge through
the Press Of Bridgeport for De Foe
to meet Young Rector. I received a
letter from De Foes manager, Sammy
Hollis asking me if I would let Rec
tor box his battle, and Immediately
wired accepting terms etc. and after
waiting for a reply, I again wired
Hollis who ignored my letter, but
after another attempt on my part.
write, saying that he had called the
fight off. NWhat was the reason
The reason was this: after receiv-
ing word from Hollis, saw that Tom
my Tuohey was selected for De Foes
oppent, and Wise little Sammy side
tracked Young Rector. a boy who
dropped De Foe for a count of seven,
and almost stopped him, for some
thing he considered easier, in the per-
son of Tuohey.
Does the average Bridgeport fan
know that De Foe stopped Tuohey
here in N. Y? VIII they fall for
this nnatch?
Rector almost stopped De Foe in
Brooklyn and through the medium
Of his manager who owned the club
where the fight took place. De Foe was
credited with a shade over the Jersey
boy, who really was the winner by
open daylight.
Hollis saw the last fight between
De Foe and Rector, and knows well
that Rector was wearing the ST. Paul
battler down, and fears to risk his
mealticket over a route against Rec
tor just yet.
Why don't Hollis play fair, and not
make an offer, when he really don't
mean to go through with itf
Rector is ready to meet De Foe, at
any time, and If Hollis will. not risk
his battler, then let him stop boost
ing unless he has the goods.
Wise old Sammy.
Very truly yours
Fred J. DeLorme.

be obtained in a hurry. Smith knew
that the men he wanted to mold into
team were those who could tackle
and interfere. He instructed the squad
in these points on the dummy and af-
ter thoroughly grounding them in this
way he took his next step. It was
necessary for him to know who had
prof1ted by these dummy lessons be-
fore he could pick a team or begin
scrimmage. He had to learn in a hur-
ry as football season does not wait
for the coach. Thsi is his own story Of
how he picked his men:
at divided my candidates into
squads of three men each put
three of them, with the ball, on the
25-yard line and three others on the
goal-line. I told the men with the
ball to make a touchdown and off
they would go, two interfering and
one running back Of the Interference
The three on the goaI-line wree to
make the tackle that would prevent a
touchdown. By rotating the men each
had chance to carry the ball, to fol-
low Interference to make tnterfer-
ence and to tackle.
I'VE kept squad of sixty men go
ing that way and it was not long be-
fore we knew who was who. BY care
fully, watching them we soon learned
which of them were suited for the
various positions on the team. Then
we began team drill. Every step had
to be simplified and explained in ad-
vance. Making them follow the ball
was a big problem. I hit on scheme
of blowing a whistle after each run,
each man stopping when he heard it.
In that way soon got results.
"Of course we used only few for
nations and simple plays last year.
But we got to know them and could
execute them. The one thing. though
that got results was working the men
in squads of three against squads OF
three. I never saw anything get re-
suits as that did. We were able very
early in the game to weed out the
weak players"
Smith has been getting results in
this his second year. A victory over
the Oregon Aggfes is already chalked
down and California is on the rapid
| road to success. Best of all the pub
lie has taken to the American game
with a will. The open attack last year
won everyone over to 1t.

Talk OF Sports

The national pastime will be han
dicapped considerably because Of the
calling for service in the national
army Of so many players. Pitchers
especially have been drafted in con-
siderable numbers from the major
leagues. Despite this fact, however.
there are enough good men left to
insure the game for the 1918 season.
The owners Of the Portland club
are rejoicing for this is the first sea-
son since 1914 that he team has made
money. This Paif Coast League out
fit has lost ever $4,000 in the past
three years. 1
The Washington club of the Ameri-
an Lea que is said to be hard up for
money. This difficulty could be easily
Overcome for it is known that at least
three other clubs in that circuit are
prepared to make big offers for
Pitcher Walter johnson. President
Dunn of the Clevelands is willing TO
put up $4,000 for the big twirler,
and Detroit is also anxious to get him,
and will pay an even larger sum If
necessary Another bidder for john
son is said to be Col. Rupert of the
Yankees. So far, however, Clark
Griffith has turned deaf ear to all
dtckers. He may have to listen to
some of these offers beforel ong, as
the Washington lub has just finished
a financially disastrous season. and a
club in good shape.
