Power Behind v. N. !. Athletic
Teams Returns to Salem
For Three Years.

SALEM. Va. April 1o.-Guy H.
Spruhan has signed a three-year con-
tract with Roanoke College. He will
be professor of physical education AMI
general athletic director in all major
sports. This announcement was made
by President Smith. followed by a
tremendous demonstration Of the ap-
proval of the student body.
The decision of "Pinky" Spruhan to
return to his old stamping ground at
Roanoke College Is no surprise to his
friends at the college and in Salem.
He won his first spurs here while
coaching from 1913 to the spring
OF 1917. when he resigned to enter the
service. Since going to the Virginia
Military Institute he has held the
warmest attashment for his old work
at Roanoke. He left with a reputa-
tion as a great coach, but he returns
with a brilliant record that is known
throughout the country.
The University of Pennsylvania, the
University of Virginia, the University
OF North Carolina, A. and E., and
v. p. I. have fallen beneath his mighty
teams at V. NJ. /. Leading sporting
writers have proclaimed him one of
shV "ohuSt ihchtoIs VI lnS Jay. 10
the uncanny genius of Spruhan be-
longs a large share OF the credit for
V. M. rs prowess in athletics during
the past two years.
The engagement of Coach Spruhan
is in line with the policy Of the new
administration of Roanoke to place
the most capable men in charge of
each department of work. As general
athletic director, he will have the
rank of full professor. and along
with the president and the athletic
board will work out the entire policy
of physical education at the college.
President Smith, himself once a great
athlete. is determined not only to
place athletics on a high plane but
TO give to Roanoke teams the train
ing that will enable them to COM
pete successfully with leading South
ern colleges.

BIG BOXING BOUTS
Johnny Mooney, .HustIing Pro-
moter, Gets Huge Ball
Park for Summer.

Braves Field, Boston, the largest
baseball park in America. will be the
scene of many high-class boxing
shows this summer. Johnny Mooney,
the promoter with the national reputa-
ton. has secured a lease on the field.
He will stage his opening show on
Monday night, May 2. and his regular.
shows will follow every two weeks
from that date. ...
Mooney is the promoter who gave
Johnny Kilbane his real start toward
the featherweight championship. Kill
bane's opportunity came in the spring
of 1910. He was hardly known out
side of Cleveland, but was anxious to
show on the "big time" circuit in
other sections of the country.
Billy Evans, the popular American
league umpire, was his friend. Billy
was also a close friend Of Johnny
Mooney, then matchmaker of the Ar
mory A. A. in Boston. Kilbane
with Mooney to secure him a chance
to display his fistic wares in Boston.
On his first swing around the East
ern circuit of the league Evans called
on Money. He sang Kilbane's praises
81 highly that Mooney booked him. He
put him On in a semi-final of eight
rounds with Bobby Tickle, OF Paw
tucket, r. I. The bout went the limit
and kilbane won the referees de-
cision.
In fact. his work was so impressive
that Mooney booked him right back
a couple Of weeks later in an all-star
show This time he paired him with
Al belmont, who at that time was
one Of the best bantams IN the coun-
try. Kflbane. again, copped the ver-
diet.
Just about then Los Angeles pro-
moters were negotiating for the serv-
ices of belmont. But Johnny's vic
tory over the Bostonian prompted
them to dicker with him. instead.
This was the opening wedge to Kill
bane's successful triumph on the
Pacific coast He boxed there several
times, eventually winning the worlds
featherweight championship from Abe

Driscoll and owen Moran, the British
featherweights, and many others
went into Boston on MONEYS say-so.
Each made a big hit, secured lots OF
engagements and made plenty of
money in the Hub.
The world knows that Boston is q
great sporting city. Mooney is now
loking for more new talent. He ex-
poets to close his first show for Nav

managers and boxers seeking en-

CHICAGO, April 10.-Three Chicago

in connection with the 1919 worlds
series scandal. appeared in court here
yesterday and gave bond for their
appearance for trial. The ball play

Fork made a demand for an imme-

he denied that he was ever a member
of a gambling syndicate or was in
any way concerned in the alleged
fixing of the 1919 seriea

The Nobel prize for unlimited

Risberg and Claude Williams. These
birds also cop the Ponzi belt for Be-

their Bertillon measurements en-
graved on the Cassie Chadwick cup
for bulky audacity.
All three OF these pillow prospec-
tors will be remembered for their
wiggly work in a well-known series.
At this writing they are only a cou-

The above awards are slipped to
these zigzag bat swingers for the
reason that they are cooking up n

plot is that they will play exhibition
games with any team silly enough
to let them into thier ball yard. A

NEW YORK, April 10.-With train

keynote among major league players.
managers, owners and fans.
Baseball seems destined to enjoy an
other big year and IL the outpouring
of fans in Southern cities, who flock ed
to the ball parks by thousands to see
the major leaguers perform can be
taken as a criterion, the baseball busi-
ness will be fat and sassy this
summer.
Gotham fans turned out yesterday
to take their first look at the
Yankees, Giants, Dodgers and SEN
ators. New York's three pennant
aspirants returned to the big town

Managers McGraw, OF the Giants,

pressed the belief that their teams
will figure strongly in the pennant
races. McGraw never makes predic-

that Washington will finish up among
the leaders.

HOW CAN YOU GET
HIM TO THINK
assssssss Q. = S...ss onss>

A pearl of wisdom has Just
dropped from the chiseled lips
Of Bill Clarke, the old Giant
player who is baseball coach at
Princeton.
There Is no excuse" chirps
Bill, "for any man making a
bonehead play in a baseball
game.
Each player should know
what to do before the ball is
hit. He should always think
t. the ball will be hit to him,
So nat, II it is, he will not have
to waste time thinking out the
play then"
Good, sound advice. But
what's the formula for compel
ing a baseball player to think
before he has to?

What He Practices

"The actor makes the ideal director, y
declares Elmer Clifton, the motion pic
ture director. "Glance over the field
of our foremost men behind the mega

an actor and a playwright, Ernest Luz

Loane Tucker, Erick Won Stroheim,
Maurice Tourneur, Marshall Neilan and
Herbert Brenon.
"There is very manifest reason for
the supremacy Of the actor as a d.
rector. He makes a keenly sensitive
and highly dramatic audience for the
screen player. Bear in mind that the
film actor must get his emotional ef-

has no-big audiences before him to sway

hammering carpenters and noisy studio
