invincible for couple of years
1t is said McGraw plans to retire
from the active management of the

WEIGH RESUMES
HARD TRAINING
FOR SCHLAIFER
Chicago Boy Is Recovering Nicely
From Effects of a Severe
Cold.
BY ]. L. HUGHES.

frankie WEIGH, Chicago welter
is shaking off the effects of a bad
cold, which caused a delay of one
week of his bout with Morrie
Schlaifer of Omaha before the Dav-
export legion. He has settled down
again to hard work, according 20
word received by Post Commander
HaHigan from George "Chic1'
Rice, Welch's manager. frankie
was put through a light drill yes
! terday afternoon but was slated 10
resume more strenuous training
! this afternoon. By the end of the
week WEIGH is expected to be in
shape to step through 10 rounds
without trouble.
The bout was originally billed
for Friday night of this week, but
| when word of Welch's condtii IN
reached legion officials, the program
was promptly postponed until Fri
day, Jan 81. This was done for
the purpose of insuring first
class exhibition for tri-city fans.
Rice wires that frankie will con-
tinue hard work until the day be-
fore the bout. He is expected to ar
rive in Davenport early next week
and will finish his training stunts
here Schlaifer and his manager are
expected at the same time.
Schlaifer, who had been training
strenuously for the coming session
before Welch's illness was report
ed, has eased up for a few days TO
prevent possibility of Staleness.
John Greeley, boss of Schlaifer's
ring destinies, doesn't want his
star meal ticket drawn too fine, and
consequently Morrie will not jump
back into the hard grind until to-
morrow or possibly Friday.
Schlaifer Is Confident.
On Omaha newspaper carried a
story about the Davenport show in
a recent issue and quoted Schlaifer
as saying that Welch is in for an
other real trimming at Davenport
the night of Jan. 81. The article
follows: Morris Schlaifer, local
kayo artist, is training as if all the
world depended on the outcome of
his clash with frankie WEIGH at
Davenport, Jan. 27. While Schlaifer
succeeded in stopping the Chicago
boy here sometime ago he is not
taking any chances of losing to
WEIGH at Davenport. WEIGH proved
to be a clever, fast thinking fellow
against Schlaifer in his bout here
while he displayed a hard wa1Iop.
At that Morrie figures he will give
WEIGH a real trimming, predicting
he will stop the Chicago boy.
Davenport fans idoIize WEIGH
and. of course, Morrie realizes the
crowd will be pulling against him,
but that does not bother the local
lad for he is confident of slipping
over the kayo inside of the 10 SEES
sions
According to reports from Day-
export the legion club there will
match the winner of the Jan. 81
bout with either Johnny Schauers
of st. Paul, Eddie WEIGH of Chicago
or Dennis O'Keefe of the Windy
City Morrie figures that by STOP
ping WEIGH bout with any one of
the above mentioned men would at
tract a tremendous crowd at the
Iowa town"

ter's big year in point of victories.
In 1912 Joe Wood with "a wins
greatly aided the Boston Red Sox
to win an American league pen
nant.
One big reason why a lot of these
pitching records will stand for
years is that pitching ssaffs today
are much larger. A pitcher. is not
called upon to work so often. Some
pitchers are more or less special
lists. They work only against GER
tain clubs or are used for relief
work almost entirely.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-01-18

In the old days it wasn't consid-
cred quite as much of feat as it
is today. This was due in. a meas
ure to the fact that pitching stats
were much smallera forcing the
pitchers to work oftener.
Some idea of what a great pitch
er Christy Mathewson really was
can be CLEANED from the fact that
for IL consecutive years he won 20
or more games.
That is a record that pitchers
will be shooting at for a long time.
Mathewson, because of the easy
manner in which he worked. placed
no strain on his arm, and for that
reason was able to perform con-
sistently year after year. A sore
arm was an unknown thing to
Matty.
The pitching records reveal the
fact that the pitchers OF the days
gone by hold most of the marks.
Walter Johnson and Rube Mar
guard are few of the record hold
ers still doing active duty.
Ed Walsh, who is to take a whirI
at umpiring in the American league
next season. had his big year in
l9oS when he won 40 games for the
chicago White Sox. 1t will be many
year before some big league
pitcher comes through with 40 vic
tories.
In the same year Christy Math-
ewson won 81 for the Giants. In

Honor to W. G. ].

Thursday will be the big day at
Washington, Pa. The town and
college community have united in
organizing a great celebration de-
signed to let the young men who
stroye so yaliantly at Pasadena
know Just how they are regarded
There will be speeches and music
and celebrated visitors and more
speeches and still more speeches.
In the meantime it is said that
the impression that the presidents
made upon the Californians who as
sembled to witness the New Years
day contest against the Gold Dig
gers, was their kidding propensities.
They came on the field no more
afraid of CALIFORNIA; supposedly
unbeatable eleven than they would
have been of a high school outfit.
They would beat the great Mueller
out of a play and then pause in a
jocular fashion to shake hands with
him. When a California sub en-
tered the contest the Pennsylvan-
lans would wipe their muddy hands
upon his clean jersey. When Cali
fornia had the ball in thsir terri
tory they took the situation with
marked cheerfulness. At least such
are the reports of the teams NOR

MICHIGAN MAY
SEEK PLACE IN
AQUATIC SPORT
Westerners Would BE Welcomed
Into Competition Among East
ern Schools.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NSOpyI4SHI, 4oNE, Oy Hc al SuS-J
New York, Jan. 1S.-Inquiry
among the various rowing univers-
tiles make It clear that if the Uni
versity of Michigan decides to go
in for intercollegiate aquatics she
will have all the encouragement
that one college can give to an
other in the way of hearty CO.
operation. There is no trace of
sectional feeling to be found among
eastern rowing men. Wisconsin
discovered that in her various visits
to Poughkeepsie, of which she has
the most agreeable memories. In
deed, the one ambition of those in
terested in the sport of sweep
swinging is its wide application
throughout the institutions of the
country. While most of the col
leges that go in for boat racing
have their schedule arranged, Mich
igan would probably be able to ar
range one or two in the preliminary
season while it was made clear to-
day that the Poughkeepsie stewards
would welcome the Maize and Blue
as a participant in the great Hud-
son river regatta.
But it is hardly likely that Mich
igan would produce a crew for the
position in the ter-collegiate row
ing this year, even were she to take
up the sport. 1t takes time to de-
velop a rowing system. Winning
crews, or crews qualified to achieve
a fair share of success, do not
come forth, as it were, over night.
A hint that the authorities at Ann
Arbor are proceeding very care
fully may be gathered from the
QUESTIONABLE which nas been sub
mitted to the institutions where
rowing is a major sport, relative
to ways and means and particular
ly to experience
AS to finances. Michigan will find
that it all depends upon the scope
of her ambitions. If she wishes
to go in for long distance rowing,
say for the Poughkeepsie regatta,
she will be letting herself in for
considerable outlay with practical
ly no return. aquatics being a non
productive sport On the other
hand, if she decided to emulate the
Princeton system, where distances
are restricted to two miles, all re-
gattas to be rowed in term time.
the expense would not be nearly
so great. Again if she could find
some faculty man who would coach
without remuneration-as DR.. J.
Duncan Spaeth does at Princeton
the rowing budget would be re-
duced further
Crews, on the other hand, that
are coached by professionals and
have rowing camps on the Thames

prepare for great three and four
