Mr.. Buckley afterward became the
Governor OF Connecticut, and the
Senator from that State to Congress.
but he never lost his interest In base
ball up to tho last year Of q pros
porous and busy life. He WAS identi-
ded with the great insurance inter-
este OF Hartford, and q yealous
worker among his employees to main
tain athletic interest, (which he In
sisted was tho best tonic for indoor
workers.
It was the flying outfeid Of the
Hartford club that gave q new xest
to playing that position in base ball.
There had been a tendency to pick
big and heavy men for outfielders,
because 1t was thought that big men
could hit the ball farther than the
smaller men, and that the principal
aim OF the outneIder should be to
knock the ball Tor long hits and not
to bother 30 much about the fielding.
The Hartford outheiders were very
proficient In catching long dies. and
while they did not bat a. hard az
some OF their rivals, Il dawned upon
the managers OF other clubs that the
ability Of the Hartford outheiderg to
catch the long hits Of the slower
footed chaps on other teams more
than offset any disadvantage that
they might have In the distance they
batted the ball. That started speed
in the outfieid.

Athletics in the junior high schools
are in the experime ntal stage of de-
velopment. The whole junior high
school system is comparatively new
and, although more than rs per cent
of the school spirit is centered upon
the athletics OF the institution, this
phase of the organization is just be-
ing considered. However, from the
beginning of junior highs, athletics
have been encouraged, thus making
the situation favorable for intramu-
raj and interscholastic activities.
Prior to the interscho astic field
and track meet of last Fall there was
little athletic intercourse among the
schools. Hine and Columbia were
responsible for most of that. At the
Spring meet all the then existing
junior high schools were represent
ed. That gathering of all the clans
seemed to indicate bright prospects
for this Fall. However, the prospects
almost got lost in Summer clouds
and storms.
Now things seem more promising;
the prospects of last Spring show
signs of materializing into n basket
ball league. Last week the physical
education directors of the several
junior highs drew up basket ball
schedule In which each school is Stat
ed to play all the other schools twice.
The champion team will be the one
having the highest average at the end
Of tho season.
Owing to the varying conditions in
the schools, dates canot be definitely
set. Unless a miracle occurs and new
gynnasia come to town, Mcfarland,
Langley and Jefferson. when they
clash with each other, will have to
Z settle their contests in the open, as
none of these schools is equipped with
q gymnasium.
Since Columbia and Hine both pos
sess gyms their games will be played
Indoors wien they meet each other.
However, when they play the three
aforementioned teams, they will prob
ably play one game on dirt court
and the other on floor court.
Although all the teams look i'm
posing, Mcfarland certainly has, at
the start, the edge on the other
schools. Langley and Jefferson are
about on a par, and Columbia and
To-, ,y,f of
basket ball ability.
In spite of a seeming emphasis on
representative school teams, the
infraschool teams receive more time
and attention from the coaches. Each
school VIII run off an intersemestsr
and interclass tournament. Every

The loud chortling Of the Madison
Square Garden gang over Tommy's
great work is further significant.
Meantime Dempsey is keeping quiet.
1t is not Dempseys move to say
anything just yet for the promoters
are not through with Tommy Glib
bons. He looked good enough against
Norfolk to convince those interested
in putting boxing back on the list OF
big earning events that nothing Sc
rtous will be risked in letting Tommy
continue his activities to the end that
the fans VIII fairly plead for a Demp-
sey-Gibbons bout.

But whatever is done with Gibbons.
IL is sure thing Harry Wills will be

thlng about the ring game has a well
oenned opinion that Harry would

there Is no question that the period
or inactivity does make C.ihbone'
chances of putting up great bo,,+
against him look better than If the

All this seems to be a clear line of
reasoning, but there Is lust one littla
point that the writer wants to sticLx
in here. Harry Wills is doing some
quiet training now and the writer
nears from a person whose tips sell

go into action in BROOKLYN against

general plan Of reviving boxing in

Chilean VIII get licked. Then the
Canadian will be thrown in against
Gibbons or Wills. Watch the cards
and see if this is not the way they
are stacked.
The whole situation is rather mixed
up, as the reader perhaps may
imagine after reading this. but any
one who wishes some money can
gamble that between now and the
first month of the outdoor season
there are going TO be important
things popping.
