Educational Value

Much of our athletics in col.
lege and high school today can
neither be classed as educa-
tionrl or physical education, he
said. Another of his utterances
outside the pale of sports, in
terested us, it being that the
man who enjoys his task can
work Is hours a day as easily
as one who hates his work can
toll seven hours daily. He
added that strain, worry and
fear cut down body efficiency
and are the cost of most Or
ganic breakdowns. Worry, fear
and hate he classified as mod
ern mans worst enemies and
declared they make severe in
roads on efficiency.
Much of DR.. Nash's psychol-
ogy is recognized in the better
and more up-to-date college
coaching systems. More and
more physicians are being con-
suited daily as to the physical
and mental fitness of athletes.

STATE
PROPERTY
CLAIM

Tonight's boxing matches at
Ritchie Coliseum, University OF
Maryland, featuring four eight
round bouts and a four-round pre-
liminary, will be under complete
charge of the Maryland Boxing
Commission, the promoter, every
fighter, trainer, manager, match
maker, second, physician, referee,
and judge being required to hold
a license from the organization
regulating the sport in the Main
Line State. State inspectors Will
also be on the gate.
The promoters of the show had
not contemplated the strict en-
forcement of this regulation, be-
lieving because the bouts were to
be held on State property, the
formality would be waived. Last
week they we're advised different
ly, and tonight the commissions
representatives will have entire
charge.
The event marks the initial
fight promotion hereabouts Of

No More Pro Fighting
However, he is in no way con-
nected with the University of
Maryland, the latter organization
having decided upon a policy of
no further professional fights at
Ritchie Coliseum after tonight.
The bouts will get under way
at $3.50 o'clock.
The fights will be run off in
the following order:
Joey Schwartz, Baltimore, VS..

While the card is well bal

be centered upon resumption of
the Bobby Burns, Baltimore light
weight, and Louie Jallos, feud.
Decision Questioned
In a recent meeting at Port

decision. So widespread was the
difference in opinion regarding
this verdict that a return match

Lauds Virginia
For Saving

1908

I9IU-I3D
College boxing gained tremen'
douS prestige Saturday night when
athletic officials of the Uni
versity Of Virginia refused to per.
NIT Fenton Gentry, Cavalier
heavyweight, to oppose Doyless
Hill, of Tulane, in the final round
of the sixth annual Southern
Conference boxing tournament at
Charlottesville.
Five minutes before Gentry and
Hill were scheduled to start their
title battle, a medical examina-
ton revealed that Gentry. vino
was ready, willing and anxious to
enter the ring. had a very high
heartbeat count.
The medico explained to Vir-
ginia officials that while there
might not be any danger if Gen
try fought Hill, nevertheless there
was a chance that he might be
injured.
Virginia athletic authorities
Immediately ruled against Gentry
entering the ring.
Safeguards Athlete
James G. Driver, athletic direc.
tor at Virginia, took full respon-
sibility for keeping Gentry out OF
competition. He said:
Virginia would much rather
be dead sure of the future
health of one of her students
than gain a boxing title for
that student or a team cham
piOnship for one of her teams.
No further explanation is
necessary"
Jimmy Drivers decisive action
proved that professional phases
of collegiate athletics can be elm
mated from college sport without
loss of athletic prestige.
Officials of the tournament-Ed

Short, also of Baltimore, and
Frank McCracken, of Philadel-
phia, were outSpoken in their
praise of Driver. The officials
pointed out that in view of
spectators desire for victory
Drivers action was a courageous
one and had its origin in good,
sound common sense.
GOldStein Outstanding
Virginia won the tourney, scor-
ing Is points to 8 for her near
est competitors, Tulane and
Duke.
BY far the outstanding per-
former of the tournament was
Bobby Goldstein, Washington boy
and ace of the Cavalier boxing
team. Bobbie, in winning the
featherweight title for the second
time in two years, proved himself
a polished fighter. He was far
and away the class of the event.
Clever and a hard hitter with
either hand, Goldstein stacked up
as a real champion. His short
arm punches, delivered with with
ering effect, would be a credit to
a worlds champion. Under fire,

incidentally, this Brooklyn game
will end the Griffs sojourn here
at Biloxi. For on the very next
day they pack their grips and
head home, inaugurating their
annual transforming trip with
games every day along the trail.
BY that time the pitchers will
be really pitching, the hitters

SEEN OVER
SALARY
BY GARRETT WATERS
STAFF Correspondent

BILOXI, Miss. Feb. 29.-Your
Uncle Clark Griffith. boss of
the works here" does not ex.
pect trouble with the remainder
Of his employees still unsigned.
At least he doesn't see any
difficulty even in the case of
Joe Judge, whom he says will
be treated right in regards to
salary, despite the fact that
Judge and most every one else
believe that another club will
have the veterans services be.
fore the 1882 campaign is we'll
under way.
Counting Judge, only four
Griffmen are out of the fold.
They are Outfielders Heine Ma
nush and Sam West and In
fielder Buddy Myer. The latter
arrived late last night. The
other two are expected during
the week.
I'm allowing these fellows TO
report here without signing"
says Griff, because I know
they like to hold those little
conferences with me that prove
so satisfactory to both parties
in the end. In regards to
Judge, 1 can only say that the
Detroit deal is forgotten, itn
just be a matter Of one or two
conferences before we reacn
an agreement"
incidentally, unless GTiff has
been dickering with some other
club for Judge, there seems little
likelihood that the popular first
baseman will leave the team for
the time being. Thus, a battle
for the first base berth once more
bobs into the picture.
To Let Out
The small band of pitchers and
catchers will be allowed to "let
out" a little more in their prac-
tice session this week beginning
today. This means that every
hurler in camp will be given the
opportunity to throw few curves
as we'll as increase his speed.
Owner Griff, Manager John
son and Trainer Mike Martin are
still raving over the progress
made by the athletes so far. Sci
dom before, they say, has Griff
collection of pitchers and catch
ers developed so rapidly.
This realizes the ambition OF
Manager johnson to have every
hurler ready to shoot all sorts Of
speed and curves at the regulars
by the time of their arrival,
March g.
InfieId Ready
Batting practice will be a
feature of the drills this week.
The infield was in readiness las:
Saturday, and as result a short
stock drill was held. Only AL
Schacht, Manager Walter John
son and Lefty Lynn Griffith toed
the mound, however.
Everybody took a turn at the
plate including Nick AltrocK.
With the Inauguration Of these
batting drills. the volley ball
games will be disbanded. How.
ever, Trainer Martin plans to in
clude this form of exercise in the
daily order of things when the
space and time permits.
