Dan OLeary. greatest of American

morning, however, he made an ap-
pointment with Daniel E. Garages,
secretary to the board of Commits
sioners of the District. to meet him
in Washington in 1912. Dan then
would be a centenarian. but the vet
eran pedestrian believes by then he

one now occupying his attention. At
present OLeary is engaged in tour
that will take him Though all the

O'Leary's record of the present trip

capitals visited He arrived here last
night from Annapolis. and today the
seal of the District of Colum bia was
added to his collection. Dan leaves

will argue that far more valuable to
men to play base ball while at the
same time intoxicating in them the

are playing is not so much an end in

desirable qualities for application to

been graduated.
Action by Yale and Harvard similar
to that taken by Princeton in debar-
ring prominent athletes from inter-
collegiate competition on the ground
that in part their college courses had
been improperly financed. may be re-
garded as not altogether unlikely.
Some of those who are in touch
with the big three situation rather
looked for joint action. At all events
it may be surmised that investigation
presumably as rigid and memorable
as that which took place at Prince
ton has not yet been completed at
New Haven and Cambridge.
Now TINT eleven New England
colleges have taken steps toward an
agreement to eliminate the seasonal
coach. installing faculty members as
will eventually become of the newly
organized departments of athletic
coaching at various universities.
With the movement against special
lists spreading, the horizon Of oppor-
runity for coaching school graduates
will be materially foreshortened.
Perhaps Profs. Yost. HUFF. Gill,
2upkke, ct al, will deem it expedient
to add instruction in solid pedagog-
ical accomplishments to the curricula
Of their departments.
Speaking Of coaches, it may be stat

the more Leonard talks about that

that the champion doesn't like Lewis
left-handed attack. Benny has never
fought good left-handed boxer, and
stories that leaked out of his quar-

against southpaws in preparation for
the abortive Tender bout lent color
to the belief that Leonard is not at

Ever since France, for centuries
non athletic, produced a Carpenter
and a Lenglens sport-loving England
rise of these two phenomenons was
greeted at first with amused indif-
ference. But later, when British
champions fell successfully before
them the attitude changed to one of
grim determination that sooner or
later-and the sooner the better-old
Albion would produce outstanding
performers Qualified to reassert the
supremacy Of the Anglo-Saxon sport
ing specialists.
The search for some pugilistic pro-
tagonists has thus far been futile,
but word comes from London that
there has been picked from the
public parks a girl who gives every
promise of developing into new
Lenglen. She has been withdrawn
from public play and is now being
coached by the best players In Eng
land. The occasion of the Wimbledon
championships has been selected as
the time when the new luminary will
shine upon the British public. Her
name is withheld but her discovery
is credited to the secretary of the
Public Parks Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton.
Who will say that the English ten
mis- authorities have not the right
idea in combing the public parks
rather than the cultured turf Of May
fair for their coming champions. We
well know what the sandlots of the
United States of America yield in the
way of stellar ball players as COM
pared to the better ordered juvenile
diamonds.
In the meantime S. N. Doust. capt
ain of the English tennis team. which
sustained thorough defeat by the
French in the recent indoor tourney
in Paris. says that in Jean Boro-
tora. a cadet in the French Military
College. the tennis world will see
it's most promising star. He is a
bundle of muscle and covers the court
like a cat. says Doust. who adds that
he made 3. /. c. Norton look slow.
Norton, it may be explained. is re-
garded as by all odds the fastest
man player in England. Borotora's
sense Of anticipation Is keen and his
scheme of play is to get to the net
and stay there.
