Missing a Million
Tho queer turns and shifts that
abound in sport liava been mentioned
before. But 0110 of the queerest to our
zigzag lino of thought is tho lack of
development among tho white heavy
weights of tlie flstlc enterprise.
A littlo more than 4 years havo
now passed since Jack Johnson do
throned Jim Jeffries at Itcno. It re
quired no expett prophecy of that
period to tell that tho first white heavy
weight able to step out and beat John
son had $1,000,000 In sight. Yet with
seven years to work on not a contender
has been developed worth ranking in
the championship class.
Sour Field
With iMi years to work in, look at
tho result Carl Morris, Jess Willard,
Gunboat Smith, Jim Flynn, Frank Mo
ran and Jim Coffey! Not a touch of
science or skill in the lot merely a vast
collection of human flesh and bone,
JACK MAY RUN FOR PENN
Coach Orton Put Jumper in Track
Squad,
Because (Arthur Jack, one of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania's high Jumpers,
failed to improve properly In his special
event, Coach Orton Is now trying to
make a Iialf-mller out of him and with
fair prospects of success. Jack has never
done better than S feet 9 Inches consistent
ly. But he was a good half-mljer be
fore he entered college, and has been per
suaded to try middle distance running.
He Is working out dally with Meredith
and the other half-rollers, and has shown
such good form that he Is likely to rep
resent the University In some of the two
mile relays this winter.
ThB University's four-mils relay team.
consisting of Humphreys, Huston, Doraey
and Sweeney, left town this afternoon for
New York, where they will take part In a
four-mile handicap relay race tonight. As
a team tlieae men do not come up to the
Pennsylvania, standard, and they are ga
ins to New York largely for experience.

minus any of the ability or instinct
that once belonged to the old crop
Sullivan, Cot belt, Fltz and Jeffries.
Not 11 single first-class white heavy
weight has displayed his frontispiece
against tho llstic horizon in 12 years.
Any number of stars at lesser weights
havo come and gone, but In- tho one
field that would havo paid a cool mil
lion In letutn there lias been no entry
worth the name.
The Reason Thereof
The reason has been twofold. 1. Lack
of heavyweight material possessing the
fighting instinct. 2. Lack of proper
training and aggressive competition for
championship heights.
If Joss Willard had fought his way to
the front as Jeffries did there would
be no question today of Johnson's fate.
Hut AVlllnrd has been content to stall
along, lighting once a year or less,
whete lie might havo gathered in skill
and experience enough to bo one of
tho best uf tho game.
If some big, strong and shifty young
fellow of about 20 had started out in
thfc right way IVs years ago, thero
would Mion bo another millionaire
added to tho list. As it Is, Johnson may
havo to die of old ago befoto any of
tho present cheeho and prune, chal
lengers tiro lead' to push him aside.
For If Willard wins at Juarez it will
not be because Willard is any good, but
rather that Johnson has only been tot
tering on tho brink of tho dump, wait
ing for tho first shove.

that ho took something off instead of

What's tho Answer?
A six-day blko raco in Chicago gets
four lines In agate. Ban Johnson lets
out a blast, ln tho vernacular, and gets
40. Whaddo yuh mean reward of effort?
Just Like n Hub (Woodliko)
Hero's a Chineso idea of a golf
course. An lS-holo golf course ln a 40
acre tract is tho scream. Tho plan Is
to lay out 11 perfect putting green In
tho centro of tho land and place tho
18 tecs at varying distances, and at
different angles. Just llko the spokes
of a wheel. Can you Imagine tho gpec
taclo of IS foursomes approaching tho
same green from 18 different directions?
Wo can. Appalling! A real Chineso
puzzle, as it were. Not a bad idea, If
you havo lots ot friends.

Tho report is being spread broadcast
that Joo ltivcrs, once considered u, con
tender for tho world's lightweight
championship, has lost his ucrvo and Is
a beaten man beforo ho enters tho ring,
When Joa first appeared on tho pugilis

pers.. Ono good bit of punishment,
howover, took all tho confidence out of
h)m. Since then ho has been unablo to
do himself Justice. Ho has tho ability,
wo know, but the courage is sadly lack
ing. Tho idea of being knocked out by
Frankio Callahan must bo galling, yet
thero Is glory oven in defeat. If tho
licking works tho proper spirit, Joo
should again bo among the battlers for
tho crown. He has the quality. Let's
all encourage him,
Talk about Sphinx-like Bllcnce, how
about Judge K, M. Landls as tho cako
