I happened last spring, when Herzog
! refused to report to the Braves after
/ the trade that resulted in Herzog be
I ing transferred to the Boston club
and Doyle to the Giants
The time was fast approaching
when the championship season was
/ scheduled TO be opened and Herzog
was still a holdOut The latter was
reported as demanding more salary,
and again 1t was said that manager
Stallings was figuring on calling the
deal off for Doyle IN the Spring prac-
tice down in Marlin with the Giants
had shown a phenomenal return to
form
Manager McGraw was making ur-
gent appeals to president Hampstead
to have the case settled at once. A
meeting was held IN this city and to
Haughton's credit It can be said that
he was determined to live up to the
trade agreement
He was asked to go on to see
HerzoE and settle the matter
with the player, personally. But
this he absolutely refused to do,
with the remark: sit is up to
HerzOs to come TO see me; not
for me, the president OF the club,
TO plead with him.
Doubtless Haughton was right. but
It showed that he still failed TO ap-
preciate the professional baseball
play tLH AL4poA l---4A OPA-AAy-A u -AAI-A
selves.
The matter was settled by Stallings
after considerable delay and without
any personal interview between the
president and player.
There were many other causes that
worked disastrously against the imam
cial and artistic success Of the
Braves throughout the entire time
Haughton was the head of the Boston
club, and il was no surprise when he
resigned from the presidency and
took up the much more congenial po-
sition he now holds as major in the
Chemical Corps Of the army
StalIinss Also Through
Manager Stallings has also an
nounced his retirement from baseball
for good and all He doubtless ap-
preciated that under Jim Gaffney he
would have no chance TO be retained
as manager OF the Braves
That means that Gaffney viii have /
a clear field in Boston to reconstruct /
the Braves as he sees fit
Il viii be remembered that Gaf1ney /
announced that he would Ike 10 get 4
possession OF the Giants and It was
that he had made an offer 4
for the New York club, so that Jim"
may decide TO run the Braves again
himself, and he can surely be de-
pended on to be one Of the new
progressive M gnates the game will
require when the time for reconstru-
ion arrives. He VIII have a big plant
IN his hands and he must become one

Tricks In Every
Trade But Ours
Short Bouts Suit the Purposes of Training Soldiers
and Creating More General Interest In the Army
But Are Poor Affairs by Which to Decide
Who Is Champion: Limited Bouts Best
81 ROY ElIIK
HERE is considerable

THERE is considerable confusion
L nowadays resulting from the sys-
TEN OF boxing which is being en-
ployed to train soldiers TO wipe out
the Hun and which has quite gener-
ally been substituted in army camps
TO take the place Of boxing purely as
a boxing art There is a very con-
siderable difference in several re-
spects IN the best way to train SOL
diers by means OF boxing and the best
way to develop ring champions
The system a. taught large
bodies OF soldiers to develop
quieEness and accuracy that viii
serve in bzyOnet work II an az
greEsiye, forward style with no
hacking up. II robs boxing as
mere ring accomplishment, Of
many of the best tactics and
strictly adhered TO preeludes n
large part OF cleverness with the
mits.
The army as a whole has use for
only a part OF boxing as practiced by
such masters as Jack Dempsey. the
Nonpareil; Corbett. Fitzsimmons, Nc
Coy, O'Brien. Cans. Johnson, Leon
ard, Kilbane and Gibbons. These
parts have been separated from the
rest and are taught the army men At
the same time many other ring tao
tics are discouraged.
Good System for Army.
Army authorities IN the athletic d.
vision have acted wisely in so doing.
The system as being perfected Is
bringing wonderful results and IN
finitely more useful than the craft
and art OF all the ring masters. For
army purposes bouts have been short
ened as a rule to four and six round
affairs with now and then an eight
rounds Is often put in the four or six
and for activity and pep" the plan
is a big success.
For developing boxers the plan
Is incomplete. Keep IN mind, how
ever. that Uncle SANS present
work f. not developing boxers,
hut men to GUST the Hun. There
fore. while take up some OF the
points as merely concerns the
ring-and not the army-remem-
Der all the time that what j say
IN this article mostly concerns
purely ring tactics. and In i'm
pOrtance Is secondary TO whit f.
being done IN the United States
nrmy.
The Dempsey-AIeehan fiasco brings
this line OF thought to mind. Fiasco
is used advisedly in this connection
In that bout Meehan got the decision,
he did not deserve il from
q purely rms aLe-llN point as ring tA-
perts present agree. There seems
TO have been a bit Of jealousy as TO
Dempsey's record by the crowd. which
also pulled strong for AIeehan be-
cause he was in the service Of Uncle
Sam. That Is right and proper as
far as the service goes, but the ref
cree should have remembe that he
was not judging service, but a box
ing match.
Then, too. Dempsey was known to
have bargained for a considerable
sum Of money as his fruits Of the
bout while Meehan got nothing.
Maybe this was not to Dempsey's

Stands Ready to Prove
That No Lap Was Omitted
In CHICAGO Race.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Charlie Pores
national five mile champion. is very
anxious to prove to the local follow
ers Of athletics that there was nc
mistake made in recording the laps
IN the national five mile champion
ship at Chicago last month. when he
was credited with covering that dis
lance in faster time than it had ever
been run before by an American ath-
lete.
Many OF the athletic experts here
doubt that Pores. possesses the ability
to run as fast as the time credited
TO him IN this race, and the Pelham
Bay sailor wishes to prove to those
doubling Thomases that he IS cap
able OF running that fast and that all
American records from five 70 ten
miles are at his mercy
To this end he has been training
for the national ten mile run champ

City college stadium tomorrow after
noon and hopes TO be IN as fine condi-
tion as he was at the national champ

THE PLACE TO ATTEND
SUMMER SCHOOL
George Peabody College Unequaled
in the South.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Sent
incl appears an advertisement of the
George Peabody College of Nash
vile for teachers. The school is all
that its name signifies. George Pea
body, as is generally known, was one
of the philanthropists of the country
and gave generously towards educa-
ton. The South shared literally in
his donations. There is building
at the University of Mississippi which
bears his name and which was erect
ed out of funds provided by his ex-
ecutors. Mississippi has her sum-
mer normals but they do not give
the class of work that is given at the
Peabody College. The very finest
equipment is had there. The very
ablest instructors are provided and
the colleges and universities every
where allow full credit for the work
done at Peabody College. Nashville
and surrounding territory contains
much that is historic and considering,
the fact the cost is small, there could
not be a better place for Mississippi
teachers and those trying to reach
the maximum IN their education to
go. The first term begins June 13.

mer work.

MRS. J. C. WEEKS DIES.

Mrs. J. G. Weeks died at her home
in Grenada on Friday of last week.
and her remains were laid to rest the
next afternoon in Odd Fellows GEM
etery after funeral services from the
residence by Rev. j. B. Quin of the
First Baptist church. Mrs. Weeks
had been in a declining state of
health for several years. She had
had two spells of pneumonia within
the past two years which left her
physical condition greatly impaired.
It was some bronchial trouble that
finally caused her death. Mrs. Weeks
was a pure and genuine character.
There was none of the too often mod
ern cant or dissimulation about her
she was what she was, a good wife,
a thoughtful and kind mother and a
most desirable neighbor. She was
born and reared in this county, her
maiden name being Divani. Years
ago she gave her heart to God and
united with the Baptist church and it
had been her aim and purpose to see
more and more of the light and the
beauty of genuine religion since that
time. Those of her home and of her
own household were objects of her
first concern. She passed away with
fixed and steady faith in the promises
of a crucified and Risen Lord. She
has gone, SO far as the affairs of this
world are concerned, yet her life has
left it's imprint upon the world and in
the bye and bye, it will be known
.. what she sowed in true richness and
genuine love.
Both her daughters, Mesdames R..
! L. Belts of Memphis and Robert Gree
vim of San Antonio, Texas were at
her bedside when the end came. To
| the husband, daughters and other rel
atives who mourn her death, The
Sentinel tenders sympathy.
