Thomas Francis. better known as

Leydecker won the third race. sAs
usual he had his followers all down
on this horse. and they were we'll
rewarded at a little better than to
for their money. Francis has pur-
chased Bolster and several other
horses, all of which he will ship to
New Orleans at the conclusion Of the

as the best detective in the country.

sirables never attempt to gain ad-

COLLEGE GAMES
WILL NOT DIE
Princeton u. Made Central
School for Training In
structors for S.A.T.C.

The question of the future of coll
legiate sports has been answered
by the introduction of the system
of army athletics into the colleges.
Collegiate sports are to be stand
ardized and not abolished as the
result of the mobilization of more
than 500 colleges as military CEN
ters. The new plan will insure the
existence of intercollegiate sports
after the war by developing a
greater number of athletes and do
ing away with confining such ac-
tivities to group of star players"
This is to be accomplished by
the establishment at Princeton Uni
versity of a central school for train
ing athletic instructors for the Stu
dents Army Training Corps under
the direction of the War Department
Committee on Education and Special
Training. with the cooperation of
the Athletic Division of Commission
on Training Camp Activities, repre-
sented by DIR. Joseph Z. Raycroft!
On November IL four or more men
from each of twelve districts per
manently connected with the teach
ing staff of the S. A. T. c. institu-
tions will be selected and requested
to report for intensive work +, box
ing and hand-to-hand fighting. mass

net hghting and military calisth% :
les. Men graduated from this corf je
will, in turn, establish smaf er
schools in each district to which n
structors will be appointed for tr Ain
ing from all S. A. T. c. units.
Under this plan permanent aprce
of competent physical training land

They will be equipped to condl.ct a
uniform system of training III the
schools of the country. This sports
program has definite purpoe. 1t
will not only develop the desired
camp spirit in the college by fnclud-
ing every man in the sports and by
the promotion of competitive games
for the largest number of raen, but
1t will benefit the individualf by cre-
ating an aggressiveness and self-con-
fdence which comes with the con-
sciousness of bodily control The SOL

pared for the program OF physical

material. At the same time the foun-
dation will be laid for universal

DEMPSEY MAY
MEET MEEHAN
Jacks Victory Over Levin
sky in Quaker City
Boosts Bout with San
Francisco Battler.

By his knockout of Battling Levin
sky in three rounds at Philadelphia
Jack Dempsey. the classy heavy
weight from the Pacific coast. has
done much to redeem his recent de-
feat at the hands of Willie Meehan in
San Francisco, a fight engineered by
pugilistic politics.
Like many another fighter. Demp-
sey went into what he thought was a
soft chance to pick up some change
in a short contest.
He met the surprise of his life.
With Indifferent training he went
against a man who was in the best
of shape. through his summers work
as boxing instructor at the navy
yard in San Francisco.
The loss of the decision was the re-
suit
The lesson was taken home by
Dempsey, and he trained steadily for
his fight with Levinsky, another box
ing instructor from an army camr
near New York, and whose condition
was equal to Meehan's.
A three-round knockout proved the
difference
Since the beginning of the year
Dempsey has eliminated, with the ex-
ception of Meehan. all the heavies OF
prominence between him and the
heavyweight champion, Jess Willard
He has knocked out Homer Smith,
one round; Jim Flynn one
round; Bill Brennan six rounds
and Fred Fulton. one round. Carl
Morris seconds threw up the sponge
in the fifth round.
Dempsey is one of the greatest
fighters since Stanley Ketchel, and
many of the oldtimers of the ring
have commented on the similarity
between the two.
Like Ketchel, Dempsey has the
fighting spirit which does not ac-
knowledge defeat.
Though not very clever, he has
great speed and a demon punch.
He should again meet Meehan
and prove by a decisive defeat that
the decision gained by Meehan was
the result of poor match making
and worse Judgment in training.
Willard. then, would find it hard
to give an excuse for not defend
ing his title.

wise men say that Boston has
passed out of the two-club city

Those in position to know say
that the situation in st. Louis is
equally as critical. The Cardinals
