GIPP VIOLATED TRAINING
RULES BUT MADE GOOD

George Gipp, the wonderful Notre
Dame football player, who passed away
last week, was a peculiar character in
athletics He was not what you could
call freak performer in the sporting
game, such as Al Shrubb ha soften
been referred to in the running game,
or Babe Ruth in baseball, but was a
most temperamental athlete, and did
things pretty much as he pleased, yet
always made good. He was one of
those stars who had to be catered to,
and would not or couldn't stand for any
criticism.
He never trained for any athletic con-
tests, and often smoked in the dressing
room while the coaches were bawling
out many of the other members of the
team. In practice he would practice
drip kicks or anything to his fancy while
the team practiced scrimmage. If the
coach wanted him to scrimmage and he
did not want OF he would eXclaim
Nothing doing" and if the coach did
not like it he wouldn't play.
But above all, he was most likeable
fellow personally off the ball field, a
great athlete, in fact, one out of a
million.

MITCHELL NAMED
BRAVES MANAGER

The appointment of Fred Mitchell.
who has been leader of the Chicago
Cubs for the last three years, as field
manager of the Boston Braves was an
nounced by President George w.
Grant In taking the place of George
w. Stal1ings, Mitchell returns to the
team for which he acted as battery
coach before going to Chicago.
AS Sta1lings' right eyes" in the SEN
sational rush of the Braves to National
league and world championship honors
in 1914 Mitchell was accorded consid-
cradle credit for his part in the teams
success by his chief. He left the Bos-
ton club to become coach of the Har-
ward varsity nine, and later became
manager of the Cubs. In 1913 Mitchell
led the Cubs to the National league
title but the team lost the world series
to the Red SOX.

MATHIS REAL ABILITY.

Christy Mathewson's record of hav-
ing beaten the St. Louis Cardinals
every game he twirled against them for
five seasons stands alone. He lost a
game to them in 1904 and wasn't con-
quered by them until half a decade
later 1t was generally thought that
Matty's best record was against Gin
cinnati but that is misconception.
Big Six lost to the Reds in 1908,
gouged them on every occasion in 1908
and 1910, but dropped battle in the
next year In 19O8-09-10 he did not lose
a game to the Superbas, and 19O9-lO-11
the Braves could not take a game from
him.
His record number of victories
against a single club is eight: In 1908
he defeated Fred Clarke's Pirates that
many times. The Cubs were his meme
sis and in 1906-07 handed him five de-
feats per season.

LANGFORD CLAIMS BOXING
GLOVES WERE DOCTORED

Charges made by Sam Langford,
Negro boxer, that Tiny Herman's
gloves were "doctored" in a recent
match between the two at Portland,
Ore, will be investigated by the Port
land boxing commission at a meeting
called for next Friday evening. Accord
ing to Langford he was partly blinded
by something on Herman's gloves. Her
mans manager, Chez Mcintyre, denied
the charges.
Some years ago Tommy West, the
daddy of all welters, nearly. lost the
sight of one eye when oil Of mustard
was used on his opponents gloves. The
bout in question was at Maspeth, L. l.,
with Jack Bonner, who was a protege
of Vests. The affair caused consider
able attention, and was the quick route
for Bonner's early retirement from the

PUGILISTIC MEMORIES
OF THE PAST

On December 2, 1896, one of the most
memorable contests was staged in San
Francisco, when Bob Fitzsimmons and
Tom Sharkey fought eight rounds in
Pavilion Hall. Fitzsinmons caught the
burly sailor and hoored him for the full
count Thousands of dollars had been
bet on the outcome, with 4 to l that
Fitz would win Wyatt carp, Arizona
gunman, was referee and gave the fight
to Sharkey, claiming a foul. A riot
took place; court cases went for days,
no one willing to pay their bets, declar-
ing that it was a put-up fight on the
part of the referee. Many will remem-
Der that memorable contest, and many
still think it was the greatest of all
time.

YALE MAY OFFER TAD JONES
LONG TERM COACHING CONTRACT
New Program for Development of
Blue Football Team to Be
Tried Out By Old Eli.

If Tad Jones can arrange his business
affairs so that they will not conflict with
his coaching duties, he will be back at
Yale next year as head coach of the
football team. 1t is generally known
among Yale men that the football COM
mittee has decided in favor of retain
ing the former star quarterback. 1t
only remains for the popular mentor to
give his decision. Many of Jones'
friends feel that he will give the Yale
authorities a favorable answer.
Here is the situation as regards
Jones and the reason popular sentiment
favors him. In 1916, when things had
been breaking badly for the Eli eleven,

1t is understood that he seeks to join
the Detroit Tigers because of sugges-
tons received on the spring training
trip that the Braves and Tigers made
jointly last spring and desire in the
coming years of his pitching career to
