CAMP MATES
HIT make
EASILY
BY JACK DEMPSEY

A fellow has to be something
Of q magician to figure out just
what's at Max Schmeling's train
ing camp.
A hundred and one stories have
come out of Endicott concerning
the activities Of the young Ger
man and each seems to dispute
the other.
First of all there was the in
formation that Max needed plenty
Of training promptly followed by
the insiStence that he was at the
peak almost as his training began
and that any strenuous work
thereafter was certain to make
him go stale.
Those who read were told
Mt first - that Schmeling,
while i'm Germany during the
past six months, had de-
velOped a dazzling left hand;
that he stabbed with it q Ia
Jim COrbett ard that he
could hook better than any
body that ever lived.
But those yarns were hardly in
print before others appeared say
ing that Schmeling's left was still
little more than an ornamental
decoration, and that he would
be compelled to depend almost
entirely on his right for attack
ing purposes.

first week a. his camp, some wild
hurrahing over his newly &C
Quired defense"
Nobody is hitting him."
the ringSiders said.
Looking over the list of his
sparring partners, men of most
mediocre ability, it became quite
obvious why "nobody's hitting
Schmeling." Most of those fel
lows could hardly hit a station
cry punching bag.
The tip-off on how good-or
otherwise-is Schmeling's defense
came when he was tossed in with
two fast but inexperienced young
SterS.
They jabbed him all around
the ring, hitting him at will
while Schmeling was unable to
land with Any effectiveness.
These novices made Schme-
ling lOOk like a pupil" the
reporters said.
The German has shown a stiff
punch at times. He has howleo
over some of his sparring part
ners. But the onlookers have
done little cheering, simply be
cause Schmeling's victims have
been. mainly. a group Of boys
who do not have to be hit very
hard to be bumped off balance.
So. all in all. it is quite difficult
to get a true line Of the
Schmeling of today. to find out
if he has improved or slipped
after a year Of lcafing.
The wise men of the game
who are figuring on doing a little
wagering. have decided that
Schmeling, when he meets Shar
key, will be no better and nc
worse than the Schmeling who
outpointed Pauline and they are
making their plans accordingly.

to explain certain propositions During this
period he also tackled mathematics often work
ing the greater portion Of the night over some
knotty problem.
In the Winter of 1882 debating club was
organized at New Salem Lincoln was invited
to become q member His initial effort as
debater has been described follows: "As he
rose to speak, his sail form lowered above the
little assembly. Both hands were thrust down
deep into the pockets of his pantaloons.
perceptible smile at once lit up the faces Of the
audience, for all anticipated the relation OF
some humorous story, but he opened mp the
discussion in splendid style, to the infinite
establishment of his friends AS he warmed
to his subject his hands would forSake his peck
cts and would enforce his ideas by awkward
gestures, but would soon again seek their rest
ing place He pursued the question with reason
and argument SO pthy and forctby that all
were amazed. The president of the society, at
his flreSide after the meeting remarked to his
wife that there was more than wit and fun In
Abe's head; that he was already a fine speaker;
that all he lacked was culture to enable him
to reach the high destiny that he knew was In
store for him. From that time the president
took q deep interest in him"
Lincolns friends, in February, 1882, urged
him to announce himself as a candidate for the
Legislature. In March he had some hand
bills STRUCK of" setting forth his platform, the
concluding paragraph being:
Every man is said to have his peculiar ambi-
ton. Whether 1t be true or not can say for
one that have no other so great as that Of
being truly esteemed by my fellow men by rem
dering myself worthy of their esteem. How far
shall succeed in gratifying this ambition is
yet to be developed. I am young and I'M
known to many of you. I was born, and have
ever remained, In the most humble walks of
life. I have no wealth popular relations or
friends to recommend me- My case is thrown
exclusively upon the independent voters Of the
country; and. if elected, they will have con-
ferred favor upon me for which shall be

when he realized that he would be considered
o coward II he refused to wrestle, he reluctantly
consented. The match was staged near the
Offut store. Practically every man and boy for
miles around was present. There was conSid-
cradle betting including. jack knives cheese and
crackers and small sums Of cash. When Arm
strong found that he could not work his usual
tricks on the long armed Lincoln he lost his
temper and tried to sink his heel into his
opponents instep Naturally this aroused the
ire Of the young backwoodsman, and with light
ming rapidity he grabbed Armstrong and threw
him heavily his back Armstrong and his
friends were stunned with surprise. They could
hardly believe their eyes. Jumping to his feet
Armstrong extended his hand and publicly an
nounced that Lincoln was the best man Gin the
hull State OF Illinoy" Abe thereafter was the
hero Of the Clary Grove boys He was their
friend and adviser and was appealed to to
decide all their disputes.
FINDING that he had considerable spare time
at the OfTut store, Lincoln resolved to i'm
prove his mind. He was particularly anxious
to improve his English and made inquiries for
grammar. His new acquaintance Mentor
Graham, the SchoolmaSter told Of q fellow
named John Vance who owned such a book.
Vance lived six miles out in the country But
little jaunt like that meant nothing to Lincoln
It was just like walking around the block to
a man Of today. Lincoln walked out to see
Vance, and either borrowed or bought his
grammar. At any rate, he had 1t under his
arm when he returned. He then put his whole
heart and soul in the task of mastering its
contents. He worked on it early in the morn
ing, during the day and far into the night.
Young Green, his fellow clerk. would hold the
book and read the questions to see whether
Abe could give the correct answers. The answer
TO one of them was the following definition of
phrase: "A phrase is an asSembage of words
not constituting entire proposition, but per-
forming distinct Office In the structure of a
sentence of another phrase" Every little
while he would call upon his friend Graham

the great machine of HooSier metz
dom as the crank is to Henry Ford's
new models, and whose official
duties are to listen to and agree with
Arthur L. Trester, commissioner, the
starter" who makes the crank a
utility article, have heard and seen
much about the use of reserves by
certain prominent coaches. They
have decided, with the aid of Mr..
Trester, that something should be
done about it. And there decision
is definite, to say the least, and
has a very ferocious warning, but
it often has been said that the bark
of a dog is as harmless as the bark
of a tree, or something to that effect.

According to a recent bulletin,
edited and published by the board
and Mr.. Trester, Each team, first
second, third, etc, in high school
may have twenty games on its reg
ular schedule and an individual
may play in twenty games during
the regular season. By juggling
players, the first team, second team,
third team. ETC., are not permitted
to schedule more than twenty
games each. The ranking Of team
first, second, third. etc. must be
definitely known by the opponents
and the public before each game.
If no contract or agreement exists
otherwise at the time game is
played, the game is considered q
first team game,
"Al1 games other than first team games
must he so scheduled and so contracted,
and the publicity regarding such games
must be so worded.

OUCH is the ultimatum of the
- dignif1ed board of control. En-
forcing it is something else. "The
board solicits information"-it walks
right out of print and smacks them
in the face nearly every weekend
II =
The board has started on the
right path. IF it is within their
power to enforce their order, so
much the better for Hoosier fans.
Followers of the sport plank down
their geld on the ticket Office
window to see a varsity basket
ball game, and justly are insulted
when they must watch reserves. A
game is given wide publicity as a
contest between two of the states
topnotch quintets, and turns out
to be farce in which one or both
teams employ make-shift lineups.
n
OF course. the extra-gsmes scheduled has
its advantages. It means more money in
the Golfers and more experience for the
athletes. But It's disgusting to fans, and
hard on the popularity of the sport,
4. q
Once again the present system OF Sc
lecting the state champion. the elimina-
ton tourney process. with the entire sea-
son depending on q series of games over
three consecutive week-ends, may be
blamed. Just as it has been for the ''de-
layed ofense." that scientific. slow but &C
curate style of play taught by most OF
the present mentors.

Perhaps the board can control
the number of games scheduled
for varsity teams, but it seems
very improbable that they have
any power to control the use of
reserves. When is a reserve not
reserve and when is he a regular?
1t would take more than Trester
and all the kings horses to decide
that.
