ALL HEBREW BOXERS
CAREFUL TRAINERS
Pugilistic Fame and Fortune Does
Not Lead Them to Dissipation.

Probably the secret OF the success
of many OF the young Hebrew box
ers OF late" writes Jack Skelly in
The Yonkers Herald. lis the care
full. normal lives they lead In or out
Of training. Pugulistlc fame and for
tune does not seem to lead them to
dissipation and the merry path that
has destroyed the grand physiques Of
so many gladiators OF other races.
"You don't find Benny Leonard
whooping It up along the Great White
Way. like other lightweight champ
ions before him. He is not going the
festive route that Freddy Welsh did
for so many moons.
But take nearly all the topnotch
Jewish fighters like Ted Kid Lewis,
the new welter-weight champion:
Battling Levinsky, the recognized boss
of the light heavyweight division;
Al Mccoy, the supposed middle
weight chief; Charley White, Willie
Jackson, Franklin Callahan, Eddie
Wallace and others Of the chosen
PEOPLE.
They not only lead clean, athletic
lives, but they probably train more
than the average Christian boxer.
In fact. I know they do. And II the
Hebrews keep on developing in Fis-
tiana as they have been doing during
the past few years in this country,
especially we may see all the title
holders of Jewish blood, from the
hyweight TO the heavyweight classes.
Holy Moses! Won't that be dreadful
for us poor Irish? We who have pre-
dominated as fistic champions and
ring idols for over a hundred years
or more, both in this country, Eng
land and Australia.
Il certainly consider that the Jew
ish boxers deserve great Traise, credit
and honor for their remarkable prog
ress in the ring. They have studied
and learned the manly art by close,
strenuous attention. They understood
the value of getting into fine fighting
condition. and most all Of them work
hard TO attain prominence in the front
ranks of their division.
While on the other hand. the vast
majority of our Christian rinEsters do
not train faithfully and conscientious
ly. Neither do they endcavor to &C.
ouire the fine points of boxing so
thoroughly and earnestly. So without
any prejudice whatsoever, / must give
the Jewish boys all due credit for
the prominence they have gained in
the fistic game all over the United
States.
1T behooves our young boxers II
they wish to continue to shine as
bright puCulistic stars. TO turn over
a new leaf, and lead better and more
athletic lives. Also to give more real
study to the manly art. or they will
wake up some fine morning and find
the Jews have all the championships
and the whole game to themselves"

THE FINN TO RACE AGAIN.
WelI-known Horse Will Be Trained

New York. July 11.-Ed Hcffner was
all smiles yesterday as he reported
that the injury to The Finn did not
appear to be so serious as at first
supposed.
The good horse showed little lame
ness in his walking exercise yester-
day morning. and the veterinary said
that he had suffered from a slight
rupture of the left ankle and that his
tendons were as sound as ever.
HeffnSr now has hopes that The
Finn can be trained for the Saratoga
meeting. He is also looking forward
to starting some of the eight i'm

Hallenback paid $4,000 last fall up
the state. The youngsters have peen

CRAWFORD NEEDS 80
HITS TO Reach 5000
Sam Is Gneving Because His Am
bition to Attain Mark Is Becom-
ing More Difficult.

Sam Crawford, now in his nine
teenth season in the big leagues, and,
with the exception of Hans Wagner,
the Oldest player in the big show, Is
grieving as the days go by. His grief
Is not due to the fact that he is
literally and flguratively on his last
legs, and is also mostly on the bench
for Detroit, but because he sees his
ambition to make 5000 hits in fast
company Slipping beyond his attain
ment.
Sam tells his own story In the Base
ball Magazine about how. many years
ago. that 5000 hits became an obsession
with him. and how he has counted his
totals from year to year He yearns to
be in the class with Hans Wagner,
Larry Lajoie and Captain Adrian C.
AnsOn, the only men who have at
tanned that mark, but it is doubtful
whether Sam will arrive.
When the 1915 season ended Sam had
l31 hits to go to reach 1900 Old Man
Time got busy with Sam in 1916, and
the 131 hits which he would have
thought bad year in the period when
he was averaging more than lSG per
year did not materialize. He Mayed
in an even 100 games and made ninety
two hits. Manager Hughey Jennings
had to find and break in a faster
and younger man for Sans job in
the outiie!d. and the veteran was the
victim of circumstances.
This year Sam will have to make
thirty-nine hits to reach a grand total
of 5000 for his carer in the majors.
and unles something unforeseen oc-
ours he will not succeed. He had made
six hits since June !, and he is doing
nothing but pinch hitting he will be
extremely lucky il he makes thirty
three more hits in that capacity.
Even If he hit for a batting average
of 800 he would have to step to the
plate siXty-six more times. as Sam
is not figuring on batting average. but
on actual hits. 4 split of fifiy-ffty
with the pitcher in pinChes Is almost
too much to expect, even II Sam gets
siNty-siX more chances.
