Pueblo is receiving nationwide at
tention due to the efforts of one sig
Moore, lately chief organizer of the
Mid West baseball league, now head OF
the Boys Free Baseball School and the
Pueblo city semi-professional baseball
team. Last week papers in Colorado.
New Mexico. Arizona and Texas
carried a wire story of the opening of
Sig Moore's baseball school in this city.
In the Camden (New Jersey Courier
sport section for May Z. a feature story
is carried concerning Sig Moore's ef-
forts in sportsdom in Pueblo. A picture
is reproduced of the Camden. New Jer-
sey, baseball club of 1892. Sig Moore
figures in this picture as regular
catcher.
The Courier states: "Of the old Cam
den team. active in 1892. all are dead
save Sig Moore and 12 others. among
whom are Harry Davis, who was cap
tain OF, and is still with Connie Mack s
Athletics, and Jack Egan, who was
National league umpire for II years.
After leaving Camden. Sig Moore
caught for Mike Kelly's Allentown
team, Lebanon. of Pennsylvania State
league and finally landed with the
Cleveland Americans. He was the best
catcher Camden ever turned out and no
diamond star was ever seen mere VINO
could line them around the bases with
the speed and airline accuracy of good
old Zeke-"
Moore WAS known as 'Zeke" to his
home town fans.
The Courier states further that
Moore is now in Pueblo where he is
promoting semi professional baseball
and organizing a Kids baseball school
The article refers to the movement rs
"commendahle" and comments on the
fortune of Pueblo in gaining the citi-
zenship Of such a live sportsman as
Sig Moore
Judge Ben Lindsey, Juvenile jurist of
Denver has recommended Moore's kid
stunt as an Americanizing move. de-
signed for the moral and physical
health of young America.
Sporting magazines have written to
Moore asking him for a detailed ac-
count of his baseball school system.
Towns in this. and other states have
written to Moore asking that he aid
them In starting similar move.

the start of the contest as 1t is posi-
bile to make.
Failure to pass the strict physical
examination and tests of ability to
handle an automobile travelling at the
ratio of nearly one hundred miles an
hour have kept numerous entrants out
OF the race. After a driver has quail
fled his car, he is thoroughly exam
ined. especial attention being given to
his heart action and eyc-siEht. Last
year one of the country's best drivers
was ruled Ineligible because of his fall
use to pass such a test
To qualify a car, the driver must
negotiate four laps. or ten miles. at a
rate OF eighty miles an hour or bet
ter. The action of tho machine as 1t
races into the turns. said by drivers
to be the most dangerous in thc coun-
try. and tho steadiness of the pilot in
this test. also come in for consideration
of the officials.
As fnal precaution against acci-
dent. front axles. including all steering
connections. must have been replaced
two Gays before the race. The final
brake test and tho samplinS of the
gasoline to prevent use of ether or
picric acid. No car can exceed 1s3
cubic inches piston displacement.
These precautions have resulted In
there being comparatively few deaths
from accident at the speedway in tho
eleven years of its existence.

NOT
KEEN ON BOXING

Madrid. May 21.-Spaniards do not
understand boxing and do not want
to. Judging from somo OF the COM
ments in connection with the recent
exhibition given by Carpenter in Mad
rid, where he reproduced with Len
aers as his boxing partner his bout
against Battling Lcvinsky.
Tho Diaro Universal says: when
the great. Incompatible. unique Car
pentier entered the ring and noticed
that there were not more than 200
spectators present. he was unable to
refrain from n gesture OF astonish-
ment- Whenever he had exhibited

some cases special trains had been
run for tho accomm odation of fans
The managers on this occasion must
have suffered Ruinously for Carpcn-

Tho secret OF this frost is not far
TO seek. Spantards do not use their
fists. They prefer smacks. Fists hurt
the adversary and, besides. 1t hurts
ones hands to hit with them closed.
we are people of open hands
and our anger shows itself more in
words than in muscles. should
Spaniards come to blows. the ncccs-
sary preliminaries are n long string
of insults for tho adversary and two
or three generations of his ancestors.
Then onsue Il couple of smacks. after
which tho contestants embrace and

the onlookors to separate them"
The newspaper concludes: while
boxing continues to be a fight with
closed fists it will not catch on with
us; but arrange n. match with opcn
