LONG SCRIMMACES ARE
BECOMING MERE STORY

There is a growing tendency among
football coaches not TO overwork the
players in long scrtmmages. More
than one college eleven last fail
showed the signs Of ovoreXertion.
Coach Bill Roper, of princeton. says
that the Tigers success was due to
their physical condition, which In turn
was the result of Trainer keene fitz-
patrick's conservation methods.
At Harvard the long, gruelling
scrimmages have long been done away
with. They have at Cambridge what
they call soft scrimmaging, running
through the plays against imaginary
opponents.
That short concentrated Eridiron
practice is most effective is shown in
the case of West Point. Last years
eleven had in all only hfty-siN hours
practice during the season.
When one considers that the season
stretches over ten weeks, It can be
seen that the Army accomplished won
drful results on a minimum OF prac.
tice.
Methods of football training change
with improved ideas. In the old days
they used to work foot ball players
until they were almost exhausted.

Conserving all this power for actual

and George Sisler surely comes close
to that figure. Rogers Hornsby held
out for $4,000 per season not long
ago, and probably gets mora than
that now.
ROUsCH GETS $4,000.
Eddie Rousch gets $4,000. Heine
Groh gets nearly as much. Roger
Pcckinpaugh, Of the Yanks. is said
to receive over $1,000, and J. Frank
Baker got more than that when he
was with the club.
They tell story about very
prominent ball player who held out
for $4,000 and was finally signed
by the management at that figure on
condition that the owners could give
it out that he had signed for less,
so the other players on the club
would not be dissatisfied.
This player lives in small town
near the city in which he plays, and
the day after the story appeared in
the papers that he had signed for
$4,000, he came storming into the Of
Ace OF the club.
HE WANTED A BOOST.
"I won't play unless you correct
this story" he said I'm a thou
sand prayer. and 1 want II printed in
the papers that am. Furthermore,
you've got to buy three hundred
copies OF the papers telling about my

owners had to do.

WAR RAISES HAVOC

Alley Owners Can't Get Naples,
As Seasoned Wood Was

Wars cut into everything! Food

nine months overdue.
Morris Cafritz, who operates two of
Washington's largest bowling halls,

only the good fortune OF having
bought in carload lots before the
scarcity has kept him from being
embarrassed for pins. His little
manager. Johnny Vaeth, formerly Of
Capitalism, says he has less than a
two-week's supply on hand and would
give his right hand IL he could secure

Armiger, that other Harry, who Is

wouldn't admit that he has been in
any particular pinch for pins, but
Armiger never admits anything. When
he sees a reporter approaching he
locks up his admitters and assumes
an attitude of indiscreet silence. At
the same time his duckpins looked a
little frayed around the edges like
they needed to get out of the trenches
and go back to the rest area.
BLAME 1T ON ADMINISTRATION.
Makers of maple pins tell their
customers that the cause for the
bashfulness Of the product Is the lack
of seasoned maple wood. The entire
stock OF accllmated wood on hand for
the turning out OF duckpins was
taken over by the Government during
the war for use in effice furniture,
airplane propellers and interior finish
of shipping. 1t takes several years
to properly season the wood. az the
pins are turned out OF thick blocks
which do not season rapidly. There

strips of maplewood, glued together.

affair.
The route runs in a rough circuit
through woods and streams and over
hill and dale. The line of travel is
generally crowded with Indian wom-
en-, who come loaded with baskets of
food and drink.
AS each runner comes abreast of a
friendly gathering he stops to snatch
some food or take much-needed
drink. The course is marked at night
by torches.
In these races the runners receive
no money. but run only for glory. 1t
is said by those who have visited the
country that the winning Of one of
these picturesque events is heralded
as the greatest feat that a Tarahu-

Tex Richard to Build 0pen-air

Big Bouts.

New York is going to get the Demp-
ey-Carpentier scrap after all.
1t is also going to get the Demp-
sey-Willard knuckle fest, providine
Dempsey is still champion after he
meets Carpenter.
These announcements were made
today by Promoter Tex Rickard. who
plans 10 build an open air arena In or
near New York for the staging OF the
international battle July ?, and the
winner OF this bout and willard on
Labor Day.
Rickard has staged most OF his big
nights In the open, and he believes
that even with a limit OF $lo for
championship bout he will be able to
promote the Dempsey-Carpentier bout
successfully.
The Dempsey willard match has
been simply set ahead. Rickard said
that both boxers were willing to 60
through with the original match OF
March II had he insisted on II, though
willard's sudden departure from this
neighborhood and Jack Kearns asser-
tion that Jess had run out Of the

Rickard Is expected to announce o

ready for the staging of outdoor
bouts just as soon as the weather will
permit. This plan will be followed
to the letter unless Unforeseen hap

The tribe of which we write is lit
tie known outside OF Mexico itself.
They are only found in the Sierra
Madre mountains. where the steep
gorges. almost inaccessible to white
men. called barrancas. are 1000 feet
deep. The greater part of the tribe
which at present numbers about six
thousand, have become Mexicanized.
having adopted the customs and dress
of Mexicans.
Their only variance with present
day customs In dress IL that the men
and women wear long. flowing
hair. They enjoy wonderful health.
The women are of strong. fine ply
sique. In most cases they are con-
sidered as strong physically as their
mates.
These Indians are not world beaters
at short distance sprinting. However,
they are unmatched and marvellous in
endurance. They move at a slow,
swinging gait. Running steadily and
constantly messenger has been
known to cover 600 miles on the road
in five days.
Their endurance earns them money.
Mexican land owners employ them to
corral their horses, which are allow
ed to roam at will the greater part
of the summer months
The Indians hunt deer afoot. The
deer seem at first to have the advan-
tage because of their speed, but by
sheer force OF relentless pursuit the
Indians conquer in the end. He lit
orally runs them down.
Annual contests between the men
of this tribe are staged. The contests
are generally decided over distance
of $50 miles The course is mark ed
