BLAME MATCHMAKER FOR
 POOR BOXING BOUTS
Favorite Trick is to Put Third Rater
 in Ring With Champion.

A large proportion of the troubles that have afflicted boxing from the time of Figg to the present can be traced to the interesting parsonage known as the hatcher. He is thB man who picks out the boxers who are to contest in the ring, and the heather Chinee of Brete Harte was never half so adept in ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. S,
 His methods are in sharp contrast Ito those of the promoters in other branches of public entertainment The baseball magnate obtains at great cost the most skillfuI players on the diamond.
 The racetrack owner seeks the en- tries of the greatest race horss and the theatrical manager pays fortunes for the services of the most famous stage people. All of these are res warded by the attendance and fnan@ cial contributions of the public.
 But the boxing club matchmaker proceeds on different lines. His chief aim seems not to furnish skillful ands well hatcher boxers for the enter tainment of patrons, but to deceive> the paying public by ill-matched pairs and one-sided contests.
 A common trick is to engage a prominent boxer, who is either the champion of his class or in the first rank and toes into the ring with him third rater who has not a shadow of a chance. An aggravated instance was the matching of Benny Leonard and Jack Brazzo by the matchmaker of the National A. c. of Philadelphia. Braz- 20 had no more business in the ring 1 with Leonard than a pink-eyed rab- ] bit had in a fight with a bull terrier.
 He was a punching bag for the cham pion. So distasteful was the exhibi- tion that the referee, warned by the | misses of the spectators, was compell-. , ed to halt the slaughter in the fourth 1 round. ss l But the matchmaker had achieved- | his object He had drawn a crowd, through curiosity to see the cham pion and the fact that the bout wa3
 not so good as Leonard's sparring partner furnishes in his bouts with | the champion did not worry the
 matchmaker. Yet the intelligent pa ] irons of the club realize that they
 were tricked and the club will suf- fer.
 | Another scheme of the matchmaker. l is to make an eleventh hour substitun tion and say nothing about it till the patrons are in their seats. It is theHs | too late for them to do anything ex- | cept protest verbally. .

men pushed to the limit to get place

Dartmouth and Princeton showed well and if Cornell should win the meet, it is believed second place will be between these two colleges. Dart mouth qualified thirteen men, well distributed, and Princeton got eleven contestants among the qualifiers.
 The University of Pennsylvania plac- ed eight men; Pittsburgh seven, Mass achusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia six each Fordham five, Georgetown four; Brown, Lafayette and Yale three each; Harvard, Penn sylvania State and Rutgers two each :; and Amherst Johns Hopkins and Swarthmore one each.
 The track and field were very, heavy from a soaking rain that fell in the forenoon and no records were looked for and none was made. Many of the events were closely contested how ever, and fairly good time was made in the dashes and hurdles.

Lack of Men For Keystone Sacks.

Several major league managers are experiencing difficulty in securing first class second basemen- The Red Sox must rely on Dave Shean in the ab- sense of Jack Barry. Uncle Robbie, at present. has nobody who can fill Cutshaw's place on the Brooklyn team. The Phillies are trying McGaffigan, a colt. while the Athletics are playing Shannon. a promising recruit, at the middle bag. The Reds have fallen back on Lee Magee, who is not a good infielder. The Browns second base man Is Joe Gedeon- of doubtful quality, while teh Cardinals are relying on NiehoR. just a fair ball player. The best second basemen in fast company arc Eddie Collins of the White Sox Young of the Tigers. Pratt of the Yan- keeS Wamby of the Clevelands, Doyle Of the Giants. Kilduff of the Cubs and Morgan of the Washingtons.

Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named In honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- tial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in a South Carolina regiment And in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them tc staff and held them in position under bot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this 2 commission was offered him but he declined 1t through distrust of his qualifications. Or an- other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty 1s named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and central square In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas. per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.
