Mitchell. Throughout the bout he tried
to scoro n knockout, nml becnuso of this
fact ho left himself wide open, willing to
take a punch In order to land one.
In all of his lights here, even when ho
knocked out lMdlo O'Kccfo nnd Kddlo
Moy. KUbane was careful of his guard.
Johnny held his urnis high nnd did not
enro to trndo punches. Ho always was
prepared to make his opponent miss,
while ho did not start 11 blow unless ho
was suro of connecting.
Kllliaiie threw science to tho winds In
his MHehell mix. reports say, nnd In tho
final few rounds ho kept up nn Incessnnt
cries of swings, with the hopo of finding
lodgment with one punch which would
lay his opponent low. Tho result wns that

MOTORING McGUSTY WHIRLED UP
HILL AND DOWN WITH NARY A STOP
He Forgot All About Hand-Brake on the "Warm Baby"
Until His Mother-in-Law Reminded Him
It Was There
By MOTORING
WHAT happened to us on tho llnna
yunlc Hill will mnko n little piece by
itself I won't strlns It out. There's
somo details not quite pleasant to go over.
If I'm over going to mako a cruckerjnek
driver, which I am It I'm only left with
ono arm and no legs for tho Job, I'vo got
to crowd ccrtnln Incidents Into tho back
of my mind. 'Cause learnln' to run a car
la a good deal llko learnln' to bo a soldier.
You get hardened to It 'till there's blood
in your eyo all the tlmo. And bellovo
me, folks, I'm a gamo little guy If I do
ay it myself. If I wasn't I wouldn't ba
down hero selling eggs nnd writing theso
memoirs between sales.
'I can't mnp out just what route wo
took to tho Manayunlc Hill. When Smith
ton got out wo were out In tho suburbs
tomewhero round Ovcrbrook or Dala. Ho
wouldn't even lot mo tako him to the
nearest car line. Said ho'd wnlk and "bo
careful of your mother-in-law."
"Good byo quitter;" was all my
mother-in-law Bald to him, but sho said
It In a way that made him walk away
fast and not turn his head bacK.
Her tone was nasty nnd It galled me,
too. I turned on her and suld, "Mrs.
l'lggott. If you haven't any confidence In
me yet, you'd better get out and walk
also.
None of us has got n scralclt yet
and tho engine la still running. You
hsard Mr. Smlthson say that I was now
competent to run tho car. If you don't
cire to get out and walk, you may get
out and Btand while I run to soma town
and get ,yoti a rig to take you home."
"I'll not walk and I'll not stand." said
Mrs. riggott. "Not on this beginner's
practice thoroughfare. Here nro two
beginners coming at us now, and I can
hear another one back In the rear. Tako
me homo If you know the way."
"You haven't said whether or not you
have any confidence In me," I answered
back at her,
Then she laughed. I thought tho laugh
was for me. It sounded sarcastic and
mean. It wiasn't, though. It was at the
beginner who had come up behind us and
smashed hla lamps against my tank. I
didn't even feel the Jar. Hut I did feel
the, laugh. It got my red up three hun
drtd degrees, and I said to myself "I'll
how her."
Which I proceeded to do, letting In the
clutch and giving- the Warm Baby gas.
I didn't notice that the hand brake was
.pulled back und locked. I gave her
enough gas to overcome the resistance
aod likewise dislocate the brake. I didn't
know It at the time, and airs. Plggott

didn't know It. "We proceeded on our
way and I shifted up Into second and
then Into high pretty neatly.
I wouldn't cnll my gcar-shlftlng quite
smooth yet. I'd forgotten whether to hist
tho gas before or after the gears were
locked, and- once or twice I got In re
verso for second, which made things In
teresting nnd slid Mrs. I'iggott off her
sent n couple of times. Yes, the gears
stood It. They're strong genrs und havo
stood a lot In their tlmu.
It seems a long wny to that Manayunk
hill, but I'm going to bring you thero
soon. I guess I went through Hala and
Cynwyd to get there, both pretty little
suburbs with railroad stations and rall
toad bridges. I've gone through them
since a little slower, Just to look 'cm
over. And they didn't seem the same.
It. makes n lot of dlffcrenco when you
take the Warm Haby through n town
or suburban place fast. If fast, you
don't see the pretty houses or much of
tho scenery, and It costs you about 513,50
in fines. If slow, you get n good look
at things and folks and hear comments
on your car.
I got on some turnpike, heading for
Cynwyd Ttallrood bridge. I learned
afterwards there's .a tollgnte right near
tho bridge. I was practicing taking
corners and didn't feel equal to nn en
tirely new lino of practice at stopping at
tollgates. Also I'd hit an abandoned toll
house n mile or so back nnd naturally
wanted to veer oft from this one.
Just across the railroad bridge was
another sharp corner which I practiced
on some more. It was this turn that
got me on the Mannyunk Hill. In fact,
it was nil down hill after I made that
turn except for a little upslope before
I came to another railroad bridge. But
by tho tlmo I came to this upalojie it
didn't do me a bit of good.
I'd crossed tlie Cynwyd bridge at about
35 miles an hour and turned that corner
nt about 30. Then I took my foot off
the accelerator and shoved down a lit
tle On the footbrake. The footbrake
went clear to the floor, and I began to
realize there was something the matter
with It. I didn't think of the handbrake
then; didn't even recollect there was such
a thing attached to the car.
Wo passed a tennis club pretty fast; a
little above 40. There were some kids
playing hockey on the tennis courts, and
Just as we went by a hard rubber puck
came over the fence and landed in my
right eye. I guess that's what made me
forget the handbrake until we cams to
what was the real Manayunk Hill. Mrs.
Plggott reminded me of It, .

UNDER DR. KER
New Athletic Director In
strumental in Reviving
Interest in Athletics
INTEREST IN CAGE
t'ndcr tho supervision of Dr. Ulchard A.
Ivor, director of athletics, sporting nctlv-1
Itlcs nt the South Philadelphia High 1
ftetmnl hnVn nnnluri.l nt ImHAt,,. Il,n4 la '
expected to place thorn on the plane es
tablished by the teams of 1009-1910. when
the downtown Itcd nnd Ulnck boasted of
such well-known schoolboys ns the Coo
gan brothers, Makln, Murphy and Mc
Cluckln. Doctor Ker brenme n member Of tho
South Philadelphia faculty Inst yenr nnd
nt once renewed nn Interest In sports,
which for several years were In the dol
drums. The new athletic director wns at
one tlmo associated with Hermann's gym
nnslum, nnd has won n reputation ns a
boxer nnd gymnast. I'nder his direction
a football team was organized Inst fall
nnd won n position In locnl scholastic cir
cles that has proven to he n stepping
stono to a membership In tho Inter
scholastic Gridiron League, the teams of
Which contest each senson for tho Ultnbel
trophy, Indicative of the public High
School championship,
At present the new athletic director is
forging ahead with tho nthletlcs by put
ting In shape tho new gymnasium, on
the fourth floor of the school building,
where gym classes will bo organized
nnd the bnskctbnll candidates may take
n prlvato workout each afternoon. When
tho new gymnasium Is fully equipped nnd
the routine Is put In running order, Doc
tor Ker will organlzo a class of faculty
members, tho first In Philadelphia.
The new athletic director nlso Is plan
ning a campaign to Interest prominent
South Philadelphia business men In se
curing a. much-needed athletic field for
tho school. Since tho school opened, In
1007, the drills of the various teams had
to bo conducttd In rented gymnnslums
or nt tho field of the Houthwork Club,
10th streot nnd Oregon nvenue, a great
distance from the school.
Although football enjoyed n big run of
success during the last season, the In
terest already manifested In bnskctbnll
Is expected to eclipse the Interest demon
strated over tho gridiron game. The cage
game has been n big factor In South
Philadelphia athletics even since the
downtown Institution made Its debut In
scholastic athletics. In this branch of
sport tho South Phllly boys always turn
out hlgh-cnllbre tents und eacli year
comparo favorably with tho older high
schools.
Tho tenm's victory over Central High
In n recent championship contest bus
stirred up Interest to a flaming point, nnd
basketball this season, ns In seasons past,
is assured tho unreserved support of the
student body. In the past the basket
ball team has always produced high
class players, as shown by tho players
later making rood on college fives. At
tho present tlmo Doctor Ker Is examin
ing tho scholastic marks of the members
of tho regular aquad to make certain that
the men will bo In good classroom stand
ing next weak, when ttie monthly reports
11 ro Issued.
The ono great drawback to the financial
support of the basketball team Is the
Inability to charge admission to the
gymnasium, nn Ideal place to stage the
big championship games. It was pointed
out at the school yesterday that tho
Hoard of Education, ns, with the West
Philadelphia High, has prohibited the ac
ceptance of money for contests or enter
tainments In the public school buildings.
This ruling forces the basketball man
agement to piny the games on the near
est lloor, In order thnt funds may bo
raised to defray the expenses ot the
team. Ah n result South Phllly's league
'.fames this year will be staged in tho
Madonna Club cage, 12th and Wharton
streets.
Basketball has created such u stir at
the school this season that an intersec
tlonal league, composed of the sections of
the various classes, is In big demand.
Doctor Ker Is nt present working out n
schedule, and It Is expected that tho play
ing of theso games will bring to light
several expert players who otherwise
would go undiscovered.
To Intensify the Interest In the Indoor
game the first team has started off with
n string of victories. To date such com
binations , ns Trades School, Palmyra,
Darby and Central High have been de
feated. On Tuesday the second Public
School League game will be played with
the strong West Phillies, who havo never
been a big factor In scholastic basketball,
but this season are speeding along In
grand style.

GEOnOB W. ORTON, coach of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania's track team,
has provided n new incentlvo to make tho
Quaker track candidates work hard and
Improve nil their performances. It Is a
"noil of Honor," posted on tho bulletin
board In the trackroom. It contains
names und best performances of members
of tho varsity squad, with a blank spaco
for tho inscription of new records. It
has attracted a lot of attention from tho
candidates, and from thin time on there
will bo a grent deal of hustling on the
part of tho old men to Improve their per
formances nnd tho new men to do some
thing worth recording.
Naturally, Captain Ted Meredith Is the
high-honor man. Opposite Meredith's
name aro given his Intercollegiate, record
of 4S seconds for tho qunrtor-mlle run nnd
his world nnd Olympic record of 1 minute
o2',4 seconds for the half-mile run. Theso
marks are both likely to remain unim
proved unless Meredith himself betters
them. Of tho two, tho nuartermlle rec
ord Is the more likely to bo displaced.
Joe Lockwood, the sprinter. And New
stcttcr, tho pole vnulter, divide honors
for second placo on tho list. Lockwood
Is credited with having run 100 yards In
10 seconds nnd 220 yards In 21 4-S seconds,
both good for points In tho intercollegiate
championships. Nowstotter has a mark
of 12 feet 10 Inches In tho polo vault, a
record thnt ho made last year ns a fresh
man to the relay carnival. That perform
once, had Newsletter been eligible, would
havo won this event In the Intercolle
glatcs last year.
Lockwood Tops 100
Lockwood In the only even-time man for
either the 100 or 220 yard sprints. Two
men nro credited with 101-5 seconds for
tho century, Kaufman and Friedman.
Kntz, Lennon nnd Wcntz are tho 10 2-3 sec
onds men, while live, Weedo, Dcpas, Mc
Donald, Wlss and Bcrtolct. havo dono
103-5 seconds. In the 220-yards dash Len
non hns a mark of 22 1-5 and Kaufman
and Bcrtolct 22 2-5. Friedman, Kntz, Hoh
lleld and Hchradcr hnvc done 23 seconds
ench: Dcpas, 231-5 seconds; Bortsch, Mc
Donald, Kdnle. Pope and Laggcm, 23 2-5
seconds, and QUI, 24 seconds.
A stranger examining tho lists of the
quartcr-mllera would look for tho Quakers
to clean up In this event. In addition to
Ted Meredith, with his mark of 48 sec
onds, there are threo other men with
actual performances better than 50 sec
onds. Lockwood, Kauffmun and Lennon
nre all credited with 49 4-5 seconds, while
Dorsey has a mark of 504-5 seconds. This
I'KNiYS CREW COACH
AMONG THE MISSING
Joe Wright Cannot Be Located at tho
Present Time
The University of Pennsylvania rowing
authorities aro wondering what has be
come of Joo AVrlght, of Toronto, their
new conch. Wright has been reported as
coming nearly every day since the first
of the month, Tho Inst report had him
here by Monday, January 10, but Captain
("nickering has had no word from him.
The varsity practice will not begin until
Wright arrives. Wright was postmaster
of Toronto up to January 1, and it Is
thought that It has taken him longer
than expected to wind up his business
affairs.
Captain Checkering has had charge of
the crew's freshman oarsmen for tho last
week. Today he announced five combina
tions of eight men each to row at regular
hours beginning Monday at 4:15. The Ave
crews follow:
First crew Knox, Luther, Sanderson,'
Mather, Dyer, Halllgan, Phillips. Newton.

list loses some of its Impresslvenesa by
the fact that for Intercollegiate purposes
only two of the group besides Meredith
are available for this event. Lockwood
will specialize In the short sprints nnd
Knuffman In tho hurdles. But tho entire
group will bo out for the one-mile relay
tenm, which ought to be up to last year's
standard, when a new world's record of
3:18 wns made. Of the other quarter
miters, Scuddcr hns dono 61 2-5 seconds.
Popo 52 2-5 and Bcrtolct, Ednlc, Berry,
Schroder and Hohflcld 53 seconds each.
Tho mile and two-mile field Is very poor.
J. B. Pesso heads the list of the rollers
with his record of 4:27, made In his fresh
man year. Karl Humphreys comes next
with 4:29, also made as a freshman.
Neither man hns Improved since.
Tho best of tho other rollers are Max
Nenrlng, with a record of 4:31, nnd De
Korn, 4:37. Humphreys on record is the
best of the two-mllcrs with 9:51, while
Colton Do Korn nnd Lleborman have
each done 10 minutes. Elsie nnd McComb
are both 10:10 men.
Tic in High Hurdles
In tho hurdles, Wnrrcn nnd Crane have
each done 18 seconds over tho high sticks,
while Knuffman lends In the low hurdles
with 26 seconds. In neither event do tho
other hurdlers show up well. In tho high
Jump Crnne lends with a mark of 6 feet
2 Inches, ma do ns a freshman, while
Bushnell, a new candidate from Illinois,
has a record of 6 feet. Of tho others,
Kogley and Thlbault have each dono 5110.
In the broad Jump there Is only one man
who has dono better thnn 21 feet. He Is
Bcrtolct, who in one of the freshman
meets last year did 21 feet 10 Inches,
Newsletter is tho best of the pole vault
crs. with his mark of 12 feet 10 Inches,
but Sowelt Is also a high-mark man, with
12 feet 3 Inches. Beardwood has done It
feet 6 Inches, but all tho other vaulters
nro In the 11-foot clnss. Nell Mathews,
captain of tho football team, leads the'
hammer throwers, with n. mark of 129
feet 6 Inches. Ex-Captnln Harris has done
120 feet, but there are no other men with
creditable marks. In the shot-put Mike
Dorlzas, tho Greek strong man, leads,
with a mark of 44 feet 6?i Inches, made In
the 1914 Intercollegiate championships nt
Cambridge. The only other man who has
dono 40 feet Is Wltherow, who has a mark,
of 41 feet. Harris has done 39 feet.
Conch Orton Is confident that the honor
of getting on this roll will bo an Inspira
tion to the Quaker candidates.
"We havo a number of boys here who
are just on the ragged edge of the point
winning class," said Doctor Orton in ex
plaining his Idea. "With the proper en
couragement I feel that several of them
will como through, and if they get the
needed third, fourth and fifth places they
will help swell our total,"
