PRIZE FIGHTS

THE LONG AGO
Why Does Indiana
Governor uss OUer
Question:?
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus,)
New York, Aug. 11.-Why all this
out in Indiana as to
the difference between a prize fight
and a boxing contest? Governor
McCray has passed the matter over
to his attorney general for advise
ment and we may suspect that the
learned counsellor is porting over
big leather bound volumes in an eff
fort to render a decision that will
be both illuminating and conclu-
sive. If he only knew it he could
save time and trouble by a short
conference with gentlemen Of this
and other commonwealth who fol-
low the pugilistic game in one Ca
pacity or another.
They would make it clear that
such a practice as prize fighting
no longer exists. In former times
pugilists actually fought for a
prize, that is to say, a purse. The
winner took all and the loser took
his beating. But that was all in
the dear, dead benighted days.
Pugilists are not so stupid as they
use to be. Or, if they are, they
have managers who counteract that
natural failing. Fights now are
staged on the basis of percentage,
one fighter so much, the other
fighter so much. Hence they are
not prize fights. 1t does not re-
quire a lawyer to dope out this fact
From the standpoint of brutal
ity any football game has it all
over any boxing match in point Of
real injuries and bloodshed. Ever
a New York subway crush is inf
nitely more Furnishing. AS fol
Messrs. Jack Dempsey and Bill
Brennan, they have fought two yer,

the west to see whether reports
are true concerning the attitude Of
the governor Of Indiana toward the
proposed Labor day battle between
Jack Dempsey and Bill Brennan in
the fight stadium at Michigan City.
Why" said Jack as nc stepped
aboard the train. you could knock
my down with u feather. Here the
champion has hired Jock Malone,
the st. Paul middleweight, as a
sparring partner and has made all
plans 10 get into condition for the
sort g. battle that he expects
B:ehnan 70 give. l don't know
just what the trouble is unless the
attitude Of the New York Athletic
commission toward Brennan has
given the Indiana people the i'm
preston that Bill is blind in one
eye. has got . weak heart and a
punch that wouldn't dent a butter
ball. Believe me Bill is not that
way-yet. Some men are harder
Tor champion fighter than others,
II looks as though Brennan occu-
pics this position with Dempsey.
II Dempsey doesn't fight someone
l don't think any one who sees it
will hold the opiuiou that Brennan
was the chief character in a little
play entitled Cruelty to Animals Z"
II Dempsey doesn't fiht someone
soon he will probably be found pan
handling along the great white way.
No champion who really has no ex-
pensive habits has found it more
difficult to put by a real pile than
Dempsey. After he beat Willard
he spent q fortune in his trial con-
ceruing alleged slackerism during
the war, aad after the Carpenter
fight he spent u load OF money in
Europe. II the Brennan fight falls
through there being no prospect of

score was z to 0.
The Islanders solved Charlie

eight hits. but they lacked the per-
suasive powers OF the three hits
which the Ansons checked up of
Charlie Fields chucking. A splen-
did chance to tie the score and
probably win presented itself in the
islanders ninth inning, when Pres
ton Gray sent the ball to the flag
pole, but went glimmering because
he tried to stretch the blow to three
bases and then failed.
Friedl was in superb form for
the greater part OF the afternoon.
In the closing innings he weaken-
ed slightly, all four passes being
issued by him in the eighth and
ninth frames. His support, too, was
in mighty contrast to the miserable
efforts OF the Islanders in the re-
cent Dubuque series. The one er-
TOT is chargeable to a bad throw
by Jimmy Councilman to second
base with a runner going down.

NOR THE GAMES SAKE
81. oAWRENCE Derry

The appointment Of John L. Grit
fifth Of the University of Illinois to
serve as commissioner of athletics
Of the big ten has caused comment
throughout the country. One gath
ers from all that has been said and
written that general misapprehen-
sion exists as to the reasons for
this radical move as we'll as the
duties Of the new commissioner.
The situation in the conference
which brought about the commits
sioner's selection can now be stated
in detail.
First of all, the tremendous
growth of conference athletics in
the past few years seemed to de-
mand the creation of some central
lied authority. This fall approx
mately 1000 students will compose
the varsity squads in the Big Ten.
They will be chosen from 10000
students representing an alumni
body Of many times that number.
Conference football teams will
draw considerably over a million
dollars at the gate and it is diff
cult to estimate how many persons
will follow the scores.
The directors of physical educa-
ton at the 10 institutions are all
practical athletic coaches and were
| first known as athletic coaches be-
fore they were rated physical direc-
tors. They are: Howard Jones,
Iowa, football star; Fred Luehring,
Minnesota, basketball; Fielding
Yost, Michigan, football, Tom
Jones, Wisconsin, track; Alonzo
Stage, Chicago, football; Dana
Evans, Northwestern, basketball /;
E. o. Stiehm, Indiana, football; L.
W. st. John, Ohio State, baseball ;
Nelson Kellogg, Purdue, track, and
George Huff, Illinois, baseball.
These men did not wait for col
lege presidents and faculty repre-
sentatives to force the issue but
because it was their responsibility
they determined to take all neces-
sary steps to safeguard and pro-
mote athletics. The growth OF
professional football and basket
ball has proved a menace to col
lege athletics and it was recognized
that a more stringent enforcement
of the amateur rules was demand
ed.
This being so the ten physical Ii
rectors as primary step decided
upon the appointment of a commits.
sioner of athletics whose duties as
they are understood by Major
Griffith himself and by those who
appointed him may be set forth az
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1922-08-11

follows:
A. The commissioner will in
vestigate condition sin the Big Ten
vestigate condition sin the Big Ten
directors in determining methods
OF handling conference problems.
B. He will strive to eradicate
evils existing in Big Ten athletics
by assisting the directors in en-
forcing the rules.
c. For the most part competitive
athletics are doing a vast amount
of good and yet each year, after the
football season, there is talk of
abolishing or curtailing athletics.
This because the public hears SO
much more about the evils Of col
lege sport than the aims and val
ues of those sports. 1t will be the
duty Of the commissioner to carry
on an educational campaign and
point out the purposes and benefits
of athletics.
D. The spirit of competition is
sometimes carried too far and a
feeling of hostility is developed be-
tween coaches and between schools.
This disgusts the public and Gre
ates enemies of intercollegiate
sport. The western conference
probably leads in diminishing this
evil. A few years ago Alonzo Stage
originated the idea Of entertaining
rival teams at a banquet the night
before the game. Last year Mr..
Stage contributed $4,000 toward
the new Illinois stadium and there
are countless other instances show
ing that conditions are far from
bad in the Big Ten as to mutual
friendship and common respect. Yet
there is room for improvement and
not the least of the new commits
sioner's duties will lie in this direc-
ton.

FEW CHANGES
IN GRIDIRON
CODE OF 1922
Will Not Be Difficult
For Fan to
Master.
RY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus,
There will be little for "the man
in the stands" to master in the way
of football rule changes this year.
The try for point after touchdown
which replaces the old TRY for
goal" is perfectly understandable,
even though it may result in some
spectacular features. The side
making a touchdown may add an
additional point to its score through
a placement or dropkick or a play
from scrimmage. The kick or play
may be launched from any poiut
outside the five yard line Probably
the field goal will be the most pop
ular method of attempting the
extra point.
So far as other changes that ap-
pear in the 1922 rules go they are
largely concerned with the clear
Interpretation of illegal shift plays
and clipping. An excellent change,
however, has been made in the rule
allowing substitutions. A player
who has been taken out in the first
half may return at any time in the
second half but a player taken out
in the second half may not return
to the game. Later when football
is closer at hand 1 shall discuss all
the changes in detail.
OF the British golf team which
will meet the Americans in play
for the Walker cup in this coun-
try, Darwin is a player well beyond
his prime. Wethered has great
streaks and so has Tolley. Cavan
is, of course, a conner, but the team
as a whole does not look nearly so
good as the American array.
Bill Stevenson, the Princeton
Splinter, captain of the 1921 Tiger
track team, will be a great addition
to Oxford, whittier he will go as a
Rhodes scholar this fall. He should
earn as many points for the dark
blue against Cambridge as he earn
ed for Princeton in dual meets
against Harvard and Yale. Steven
sons quarter mile record is 48 3-5
seconds. Which is real speed.

very closely has just returned from

gan strikes him as having the best
chance of crashing through to high

Every position will be filled by a
highly qualified specialist, while in
Harry Kipke, the Wolverines. no
says, possess a back field star who
is about as certain of winning all
American honors as man could
be at thi time of the year. No one
will envy Fielding Yost in the rich
ness of material that will come to-
his hand this fall. The genius OF
