ROSS OUGHT TO SPECIALIZE
Olympic Club Star Is Making Mistake
in Not Concentrating His Eff
forts, Say Swimmers.

Men well posted in swimming af-
swimmers have expressed the opinion
that Norman Ross, the Olympic club
star and holder Of a dozen or more
national and world records in various
swimming events, is making mis-
take in not specializing and concen-
trating his efforts.
Ross is admitted to be one of the
most versatile mermen that ever took
to the water, and has shown his PROV
ess in both long and short distance
events.
From the 5O-yard sprint to the Cruel
ing mile swim across the Golden Gate,
Ross has achieved fame, but the con-
tention is made that Ross is naturally
an athlete most likely to achieve dis
tinction in the 220 and 440-yard events.
BY specializing in these it is main
tanned that he would eventually set
figures for these swimS that it would
take years to beat, with the likeli-
hood that he might establish marks
which would keep him in the records
for q long time after his swimming
days, if not for all time.
In attempting to negotiate all kinds
of swims and distances, the conten-
ton is made that while Ross may win
and even break records, these figures
will not be as decisive, and may soon
be bettered by other men who special

MYSTERY OF NATIONAL GAME
Berney Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh Now
Observation-Disclosures He
Sell His Pirates?

The great mystery of the National
league at the present moment is Bar
ney Dreyfuss. To sell or not to sell,
that is the question, and rumors are
again gaining ground that Dreyfuss
will let go ofsthe Pirates.
OF course, some one will have to
come across with regular sum to get
them, since Dreyfuss announced some
time ago that he wouldn't sell for less
than $1,000,000 in cold cash. But it
is doubtful whether anybody will want
to invest such fortune in that team
just now, since the Pirates have been
losing money for several years.
On the other hand, Dreyfuss has
made fortune out of the game in the
Smoky city, and he will naturally hang
on SIS long as possible.

Boxer Hero Crippled
in the European War

Jack Munroe, who leaped to
fistic fame in a single night by
dropping Jim Jeffries in an ex-
hibition bout in 1902, is back
in Canada recruiting for the Ca
madam army, after being per-
manently crippled in the Euro
pean war.
Munroe is the first of the box
ers who gained fame in America
to come through the war as
hero. Munroe performed many
brave deeds while at the battle
front, according to other soldiers
who fought with him. and if
ever there was a suspicion that
he was not thoroughly game, it
has been removed. His right
arm is paralyzed as the result
of being shattered with a Ger
man shell, and while he will not
go back to the battlefield he is
still doing something for the
Canadian government.

BOB FITzSIMMONS DIED POOR
Estimated He Made $250,o0o in Ring,
Besides $4,000 He Received From
Moving Pictures.

Improvidence seems to be the rule
among boxers, most Of whom will not
lay aside something for a rainy day.
When Bob Fitzsimmons died recently
he left nothing in money or property.
Yet he earned a fortune in the ring.
He settled a house and many thou
sands Of dollars on his second wife,
Rose Julian, and her children. He re-
ceived $4,000 from his two battles with
Maher, $4,000 from his bout with Hall,
about $4,000 from his scrap with Cor
bett at Carson City, $4,000 for whip
ping Dan Creedon, $4,000 for two
bouts with Tom Sharkey, $4,000 for
two battles with Jeffries, $4,000 for
the contest with Gus Rubin and many
thousands more for other ring exhibit
tons.
In all it is estimated that Fitz made
$250,000 in the ring, besides which he
received about $4,000 from moving
pictures of his fights.
