ONE COACH SYSTEM
UP FOR BIG TEST

The war has paved the way for
many OF the country's big universi~
ties to experiment with the one-man
coaching system in football this fall.
Heretofore a big per cent OF the
larger schools have maintained coach
ing STATS for their football teams on
which as high as three and four paid
coaches have been serving. This fall
there will be fewer paid coaches. and,
though it viii be hard on the foot
ball coach who is dropped, II will
give the universities an opportunity
to determine just how much one good
coach can accomplish.
At Pennsylvania University Bob
Folwell has been retained to coach
the gridiron candidates, and he is the
only paid coach at the Quaker insti-
tuition. Folwell, rated as one of the
foremost coaches in the country. will
have charge Of all the teams. includ-
ing the freshman team, and he will
be the dictator absolute.
The use of big coaching STATS has
been prevalent in the East for a
number Of years and, despite the old
adage that two or three heads are
better than one, the real value of a
big stan has been an open argument.
In the West one high-salaried coach
has been considered sufficient by
many schools for a number of years,
though the advice and services Of
fered by old grads. who have given
their services gratis. has generally
been welcome.

AFTER THIS SEASON

New York. Sept. S.-Cactus Cravath.
the Phillies' slugger. is winding up his
career on the ball field. He says that
he will retire at the end of the season.
Cravath Is one of a number OF veter-
ans who are practically through with
the rational game in the major
leagues. Cravath is 8 years old He
began playing as a professional with
the Los Angeles club in 1909, and re-
mained there until 1905, when the Bos-
tor Red Sox purchased him. He play
ed with the White Sox and Washing
ton in 1900 then went to Minneapolis
for two seasons. after which he join
ed the Phillies in 1912. His record of
twenty-four home runs made during
the campaign of 1915 is the record in
the National League since 1900.

Troops to Get News.

Chicago, Sept, s.-American troops
training under Maj. Gen. Pershing
in France are to receive a detailed
cable description of the world
series games, President johnson, of
the American League, said tonight.
These stories of probably 1000 words
will .e cabled daily at the conclu-
sion of the games. The National
Baseball Committee will stand the ex-
pense.
President Johnson said that Clark
Griffith, manager of the Washington
team, who is seeking funds to sup
ply American troops with baseball
paraphernalia, had requested permis-
sion to take up subscription before
the start of the games. 1t is con-
sidered probable that the request will
be granted by the commission.

CLABBY LOSES HIS
TITLE TO TOM UREN

Jimmy Clabby is no longer the mid
dle-weight champion OF Australia.
The Hammond knuckleduster won
the title from Tommy Uren early in
the summer. and announced at the
time that he was coming TO America to
defend it against the best in the
country. But because OF the fact that
boxing is still fiourishing in Australia
Jimmy stayed over and as a result OF
his second meeting with Uren he was
stripped of his crown after twenty
furious rounds in which the Antipo-
dean outpointed him.
Now that Les Darcy has passed be-
yond, Uren is the undisputed possessor
of the Maitland boys title. Uren is
a bit on the light side for a middle
weight, tipping the beam around 14s
pounds, but he makes up for his ham
dicap in weight by hghting ability and
cleyerness.

WALLACE AND BENDER
ARE NOT "HAS-BEENS"

Have you noticed what a noise some
of the has-beens have been making In
the major leagues this year?
Well, Pat Moran has, and Pat ad-
vocates the retention of seasoned play
ers, for he believes that in many cases
they are twice as valuable as the
younger phenoms, who come into the
big show as a gamble.
Moran showed his preference for
the veteran player when he purchased
Frank Schultz from the Pirates, after
Schultz was carded for the minors.
And you'll notice that Pat has his
club in the race. Gavvy Cravath was
called back by Moran after he had
been told good-by by the fans in the
big leagues, and Gavvy's stickwork
this year has proven that Moran knew
what he was doing.
Miller Higgins surprised everybody
when he signed Bobbie Wallace, and
Chief Bender's comeback was quite
unexpected.

ANDREW JOHNSON TO
BATTLE S. LANGF0RD
Big New York Smoke to Fight Bos-
ton Tar Baby September ".

Sam Langford. the Boston tar baby.
will make his FIRST appearance in
this vicinity in a fifteen-round finished
fight on Monday night. September IL
against Andrew Johnson, the big New
York Smoke" at the Maryland
Athletic and Social Club OF Ardmore.
Nd.
Matchmaker Boy Wiley received a
contract from each OF these boxers
yesterday. Langford Is well known to
the local puglistic followers as his
record dates back to 1902 and in this
time he has met most OF the leading
heavy-weights.
II will be remembered that Lang
ford for several years chased Jack
johnson all over the world trying to
get the Big Ace to fight him, but
Johnson evidently remembered his
bout with Langford some years ago
at Chelsea, Mass, and would not con-
sent to bout with, ,Langford.
Langford Is 81 years old ana has
been in over 200 battles and has lost
very few and II Is his one desire to
get another bout with Fred Fulton, a,
Sam claims that II II wasn't for his
being blinded that evening he sure
would have won.
Johnson Is rect inches In height
and weighes over 225 and In his bouts
covering the past three years has
boxed with some Of the best heavy
weights now in the game.
In Paris just before the war started
he boxed a l0-round draw with his
namesake. Jack johnson, and many
claimed that Big Andrew should have
won but the referee thought otherwise
and called the bout a draw.
Andrew johnson besides boxing
Jack has met Sam McVea, Bill Tate,
Joe Jeanette and many other of the
colored heavies and judging from
clippings of these contests had none
the worst OF these no-decision con-
tests.
johnson has long wanted to meet the
wonder from Beantown and is of the
opinion that II Fred Fulton could beat
Sam with his wonderful left hand,
that he sure has a good chance.
Johnson likes TO battle the rough
fellows and says that he will make
Langford for the first time in his life
back up.

COMMITTEE CALLS OFF

to hold Its regular fall invitation

VARIOUS RULINGS
ARE In RECORDS
By RINGSIDER.

Chicago, Sept. S.-The difference be-
tween a man who has won a battle
in the ring and fellow who has lost
1t is one of conversation largely.
There may have been a decisive re-
suit in the battle, and in that case
the loser attempts by a jam of con-
versation to bring himself to the front
up to stage where he might be
pretty much as big man as the win
ner.
1t can be done, and Fred Fulton is
doing it. Take his case with Carl
Norris as a sample. There have been
two battles between these well-known
giants, and the claim is made, chiefly
by Fulton, that neither of them was
decisive.
The first went into the record books
as a Knockout for Morris in five
rounds. The second, decided in New
York, goes down as a Morris victory.
