CALIFORNIA ATHLETE,
WILLIAM HUMPHREYS,
MAY HEAD 1916 A. A. U.
Olympic Club President Is
Named by Secretary Ru-
bien as Likely Successor to
A. D. Lill, Jr., of Boston.
Secretary-Treasurer Frederick W. Ru
blcn, of the Amntcur Athletic Union, in rt
special artlclo to tho Now York Times
writes concerning matters of vital Im
port to members of the governing athletic
body:
"Track nnd field athletics were Im
measurably benefited when the Olympic
Club ot San Francisco won the senior
championship of tho Amateur Athletic
Union on Saturday, following their tri
umph In tho Juniors on the previous day.
"For a long time the East has reigned
supreme, and with this continued su
premacy becamo overconfident. Now It Is
a different Btory. The West 1b out for
more glory, and from whnt I have ob
served In my short stay on tho coast tho
material Is at hand to gain it. I was
surprised Indeed when upon totaling the
points It wns found that the Irish-American
A. C. had lost the team champion
ship. There Is no uso offering excuses for
tho Eastern boys. They lost and accepted
their defeat manfully. The loss of Mc-
,Donnld nnd McGrath counted heavily
against tne twinged insures.
"If thefe over was niiy feeling In tho
West agfllh.it tho Arriateur' Athletic Union
nnd nt tltries there have been potty
squabbles there Is absolutely none now,
and In 1916 a California man may bo
found at tho head -of tho governing ama

Is the man proposed to succeed Alfred J.
LIU, Jr., of Boston, who wilt retire from
tho cabinet of tho Amateur ' Athletic

phreys' boom was launched at a dinner
given to tho visitors nt tho Olympic Club
on Saturday night, and tho announcement
wns greeted with long rounds of applause.

ACCURATE COUNT ON FIGHTS
GOOD IDEA, DECLARES McGUIGAN
Stop-Watch Suggestion of Evening Ledger Should, Mark
Innovation, Says Promoter Some Objections
Cited and Answered May Adopt Plan.
Itclatlvo to tho Btop-watch suggestion
of curing "slow count" alibis published
In tho EvnwNa Ledger yesterday, Jack
McOulgan, local fight promoter and ono
of tho most popular referees In tho east,
agreed that tho plan would bo successful.
Ho also ngrced that rectification of toll
ing tho "fatal ten" with the assistance
of a watch probably would bo token up
by all leading promoters aB soon ns the
originator proved tho system could bo
successfully accomplished.
However, McOulgan did not approvo of
the secondnry suggestion that time
keepers should toll off 1 to 10 counts
when ft boxer wns on tho floor. He bo
Doves tho third man In tho ring should
hold tho watch, although ho points out
tho fact that a referee would loso two or
three seconds yanking the ploco from his
pocket. Then, again, McOulgan Bnys, tho
official probably would break tho ticker
If he held It In his hand whllo endeavor
ing to separate a boxer from a clinch.
Well, this stumbling block easily can
be pushed aside. How about ncglnald's
wrist-watch "Why not have tho loft
wrist of tho referee conspicuous with
a strapped-on stop watch? Then when n
boxer Is iloored the referee Is In a posi
tion Ho start the ticker and right arm
upward and downward motion simultane
ously Without losing even a fraction of
a second.
"In tho event of a timekeeper counting
a fallen fighter out," says McGuIgan, "he
Is likely to become greatly excited, espe
cially when a boxer Is dropped a few
Beconds boforo tho end of a round. Nine
Chances out of ten the tlmekeoper will
forget to count In his anxiety of pulling
tho bell at the cohcluslon ot the period
Then ngaln he may start tolling off fig
ures and forget to sound tho gong at
the right time.

SEABRIGHT
FOR GERMANTOWN
"But," continued tho promoter, "with
(ho referee counting over a felled flghtor
tho timekeeper Is In a position to keep
his eyo on tho watch and pull tho bell at
precisely the light time. As tho article
In tho Qvknino Lbdqeii yesterday stated,
arguments arise, tlmo nnd again, ns to a
slow or faBt count over n floored fighter,
and tho system, If undertaken, would
prove ono of tho best Innovations In pu
gilistic circles for many years."
McOulgan cites the fact that Frank
Hough, who wroto under tho name of
"Old Sport" for a Philadelphia Journal
until several years ago, timed him In tho
act of counting out a boxer, nnd that nine
out of 11 tlmos tho rising and falling of
his arm was exactly to the socond.
Kven In this case, on the two occa
sions McQulgnn was off In tolling of tho
"10," that Is, In tho event of a ring bat
tle, tho fighter on tho floor would have
been saved from a sure and legitimate
knockout.
Then another question arises. Aro all
referees as competent as McOulgan? Ono
would not be tailing a big chance in an
swering In tho negative. Fight fans In
Philadelphia, also Boston nnd other cities
whoro McUulgan hns been sent for to
act as official In Important contests will
agroo that although Jack Is not In a
class by himself as n referee, he Is bettor
nnd more competent than' 00-por centirot
ring officials, , ,
Why, then, shouldn't counting with tho
assistance of a stop-watch be Inaugu
rated? When n rcfereo of McGulgan's
ability agrees that tho Idea would stop
"slow count" alibis, there should bo little
doubt of tho system resulting In a suc
cess. And Philadelphia promoters havo an op
portunity of making pugilistic epoch by
considering tho matter and originating
the plan when tho curtain rises on the
lSlfa-10 boxing season, but thrco weeks off.
"MUD BALL" DANCES
RIGHT UP TO BATTER
Federal League Pitchers now
Using New Delivery
Effectively.
The now "mud ball" Is being used in
tho Federal League with marked success.
George McConnell, of the Chicago
Whales, mado the Brooklyn Tip Tops
look like monkeys with the new delivery.
nd Roulbach, veteran Cub pitcher, now
with the Newark Feds, Is credited with
having Invented the mud ball, which
promises to become famous In the Federal
League and possibly In other leagues.
Fred Falkenbcrg picked up tho new style
of delivery and made tho Whales look
like bushers In Chicago last Sunday, de
spite the protests of Manager Tinker to
Cnlef Umpire Brennan.
Brennan decided that he could not stop
tho substitute for the emery ball, as
there was no legislation against It, so
Joe told his pitchers to learn how to de
liver it, and McConnell tried It out on
Brooklyn with marvelous success. He
allowed tho Tip-Tops only six hits. Two
were mado in tho first Inning, one In the
second, two more In the seventh, and one
In the ninth.
The Idea Is to first drop some tobacco
Juice In the glove, pick up some dirt
around the pitcher's slab and squeeze It
on the sphere. This has a tendency to
make the ball do a regular Oriental
danco and the batter cannot land on it
with any degree of success. The same
effect results in using the emery when
the smooth surface of the ball Is feath
ered. Lee Mngeo and Bennle Kauff, the hard
hitters In the Federal League, were help
less against McConnell. Bennle managed
to beat out a scratch hit to Westerzl) tha
first time up, but after that he was an
easy mark nnd Magee failed to get even
a near swat.

Why Gats and Dogs Have
No Place in City Life
By Woods Hutchinson, A. M., M. D.
With the resources of relentless science to
back him, Doctor Hutchinson says that
doga and cats must go! Indeed, his arguments
quell even the appeals of the sentimentalists,
for it is shown that the conditions of city life
are such that four-fifths of the docs and cats them
selves .are insufficiently fed and washed, n prey to dls
ease and starvation, and in such a physical state that It
is an aat of mercy when the "catchers' (jet them and put
them out of their misery in the "gas chamber."
There is muqh $f intorsst and instruction to be
gleaned from this article and it is treated in
the delightful vein that makes all this faratwa pbysicUn
autbor'fl productions so readable. Be, sure YQV see ft
