W. Smith. (Referee of Fight and Sporting Editor of Hearet’e Chicago American.) NEW ORLEANS, Nov. s.—Joe Mandot had a shade the bet ter of the last two rounds of his fight with Champion Ad WnL <a-t here, and that shade would have earned him the decision had 1 been allowed to render one. I was not compelled by the agree ment between the men to render any verdict. I am not cowardly in those things, but 1 am mighty glnd that I was not called upon to give a verdict, for It would have taken the champion's laurels away from him. Wolgast had the best of the In fighting, but Mandot clearly out boxed him, especially in the last two rounds, and he had scored the most points. 1 would like to see these two game little warriors hook up In a battle over a route. It sure would prove a hummer, and I don’t know which man I would back should I make a wager. There was too much clinching in many of the rounds, especially the •arly ones. This was due to the fact that neither boy understood the other’s mode of attack. Toward the end of the bout, however, the fighting was much cleaner and more gclentlflc. Wolgast Started Fast. Wolgast started off In the first round as though he meant to finish Mandot right then snd there. With head lowered, the champion sailed right tn. slamming away with rights and lefts to the body. Mandot took some of these, but blocked most of them. Toward the end of this opening gessrfon Mandot found himself. He held Wolgast at bay with a Jong left jab that didn’t carry a heap of steam, but. nevertheless, counted for points. During the next six rounds it was a case of give and take all the way, Wolgitst getting in many damaging body blows while at close quarters, tin the other hand, Man dot used a right cross to the head that worried the champion not a little. Wolgast Slipped to Floor. Tn the seventh. Mandot's friends claimed he had knocked Wolgast down with a left to the jaw; but It was not a knock down by any means.

The eighth round was a pippin. Wolgast opened xylth a stinging left to the jaw. The punch spun Man dot around, but before the cham pion could follow up his advantage, Joe covered up and went Into a clinch. As I broke them Mandot stepped in close and worked both hands to the head. One of these punches caught Wolgast on the nose and made it bleed profusely. At the bell they were tearing into each other and both were weak. Wolgast Down in Ninth. In the ninth round Mandot floored Wolgast with a right to the jaw. It was a terrifle punch, but the champion proved that he is a hard nut. for he arose in a jiffy and fought Mandot to a standstill for a minute. Toward the end of the round, however. Joe began to forge to the front and he handed out many telling blows, both to the head and the body. Hard Fighting in Tenth. The tenth round belonged to Man dot by a shade. When the bell started them on their way in this spasm, both came out of their cor ners very wild. They uncorked swings that they brought up from the floor, but none of them landed. Mandot was the first to settle down, and he shot a right hook to the head that sent the champion up against the ropes. Mandot closed in fast and. with the champion’s back bending over the ropes, jam med two rights to the body and then crossed a right to the jaw. > Wolgast finally eased himself into close quarters, and, although he was dead tired, he fought like a maddened tiger, crowding rights and lefts to the body with telling effect. Hut Mandot was not "to be denied long, and as soon as 1 tore them apart, the New Orleans lad began hooking both hands to the head, and at the bell he had Wolgast on the run for ’lie first time during the ten-round session.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 5. 1912. Georgia Needs Juvenile S. I. A. A. and a Whole Slather ot Reform PREP SCHOOL ATHLETICS ARE IN AN AWFUL MESS By Percy 11. Whiting. j ET after the prep school I y athletic conditions again," a prominent prep school football coach whispered in our ca pacious ear the other day. "GiVe 'em thunder. They are worse rot ten than they ever were before hiring players, buying players and all sinh stuff.” No doubt all he said, and much along the same line he didn’t say, is painfully true. Prep school athletic conditions are unquestionably bad. And get ting worse. Players are hired like farm hands. We don’t know this, but it’s true and can be proved by anybody who is willing to make the effort. A man who owns a big prep school told me once: “We hire play ers. Sure. What’s wrong with it? There’s no rule agalnet it. We don’t belong to any association. We don't violate any rule by playing hired hands. "Look here,” he added. “I’ve got all my money tied up In this school. I’ve got to make it pay—and I do. The way I do it is to advertise — with a winning team. A team that cleans up means added patronage. If I have a winning football and baseball team I can virtually afford to cut out my newspaper advertis ing. I can fill my school without it." There you have it —winning teams pay; there’s no rule against it. Therefore, hire players! • • • tnoN T ask me the solution—and don't flatter yourself you know one that will really solve. The first step and the one that should have been taken years ago is to form a prep school athletic association along the lines of the S. 1. A, A. That would do some good, but not a lot. You can't wipe out wrongs with laws, as reformers have been finding out for years. Then what? Goodness knows! Until you edn make the men who have their money tied up In schools appreciate that, in the long run, professionalism in prep school sport doesn't pay, there will be no lasting reforms. At the rate progress has been made In that direction of late years the desired reforms will be effected about thirty-seven hundred years hence. Please don’t understand from this, by the way. that all schools are doing things they ought not. A lot of schools in Georgia and the surrounding states are clean as a polished diamond in athletics and in everything else. And a lot of them aren’t. • • • kJ Ain a college coach earl) this foil: "An alarming thing is the steadily increasing number of men who write me every season want ing to know 'how much will you pay me to come to ?’ They seem to think I’m crazy or untruth ful when 1 tell them we don't pay anybody to come to our college." What can you expect of a lot of boys who get paid for going to prep schools to play fcotball and baseball? Naturally they expect something out of going to college. And do they get it? Frequently. When they accept money for playing on college teams—accept it directly or indirectly —they have to sign an affidavit that makes them out liars. The S. I. A. A, requires the affidavit. If they tell the truth, they are declared ineligible so they don't tell the truth. of course, few colleges pay a man real money out of tile athletic tssociation funds But the ath letes get it. just the same The mo»t popului methods ait- I The take sularj fur the myth ical Job. 2. The “scholarship.” 3. The “loan.” In the first case, a man is paid a nice salary to represent a cloth ing house, or a shoe store, or a laundry. There is little or no la bor connected with the job. It is merely an indirect way of paying the athlete for his services. The "scholarship” is popular. And it is one of the slickest ways of paying an athlete’s way through college. The frantic alumni usual ly put up the money, and it is sup posed to be for the purpose of get ting a deserving and education desiring young man through col lege. As a matter of fact, it usu ally goes to some famous prep school athlete—and a lot of the con tributors figure on getting their money back by betting on the games in which he plays. It is mighty hard to draw a line between the right and the wrong use of scholarships. When the charge that Sewanee was using "ringers” was made the other day. somebody said, "What’s the use of saying Sewanee pays its athletes money? They have a keg of scholarships up there. When ever ‘‘they see a deserving man, and especially a deserving athlete, they give him a scholarship. No wonder they have good material.” It wouldn’t be tremendously sur prising if the S. I. A. A. some day took the matter in hand by ruling that no man who was going through college on a scholarship would be eligible to play on an athletic team. This would be hard in a few cases, but it would throw out a lot of FODDER FOR FANS The Cubs, Pirates and Dodgers have refused to waive on Roger Bresnahan. • • • Barney Dreyfuss wants Bresnahan as a catcher and Frank Chance to play first base and is quite willing to pay for them. • * * Leslie Mann, of Seattle, equaled Ar thur Beus’ home run record of twenty seven this year.

The rawest of the popular meth ods of getting athletes into col lege is the “loan.” A man who has made a big prep school reputation as a half back wants to go to col lege. So some enthusiastic alum qus or some alumni chapter or or ganization "lends” him enough money to get through college. He signs notes in due form —which are shown if there is any yell raised. He isn’t required to pay interest on the notes, and nobody expects that he will ever pay back the money. • • • NOTWITHSTANDING the many ways of dodging the S. I. A.

What the colleges need is: First—More careful scrutiny by the responsible heads of the col lege of the athletic doings. College ’ presidents would not tolerate ath letic crookedness in their colleges —if they knew about it. But too many take pains that they shall not know about it, and too many more are indifferent. Second—An appreciation of the fact that, in the long run, athletic crookedness doesn’t pay. Third—The development of the spirit of amateurism and of the ab horrence that any gentleman should feel for any crooked methods, ath letic or otherwise. Fourth —A reform of conditions in the prep schools, so that so many good athletes would not be made “ringers” before they even got into college. in the heart of the bluegrass-and-reci liquor country, at Owensboro, Ky. • • • The Naps have Bob Gilks down In Pen sacola now. laying out the field that the Cleveland and Toledo teams will use for training next spring. • • » Whoever succeeds Roger Bresnahan will have his hands full from the very start.

If the trouble is not checked it invades the stomach and other portions of the bodj’ and becomes a dangerous disorder.

A FEW days ago the Cincinnati boxing commission announced that they would never allow Battling Nelson to tight in that city, as they claimed he was too feeble, too old to ever fight any good man again. All of which has caused Bat tling Matthew Nelson to soar—and soar good and high, too. It seems that Nelson wrote me a few days ago, asking if the boxing game was flourishing here in Atlanta. If it was, the Battler wanted to come down here and do some milling. Before I had found time to reply to his letter, the Cincinnati papers came out with the announcement of the boxing commission there that they would never stand for him fighting in the Brew Burg. As a result of this announcement, Nelson sent me the following let ter, which arrived in the early mail today: “Matty Baldwin is a pretty tough citizen. And in Boston, where I boxed only a short time ago. they still think me good enough to hand Matty a trimming in twelve rounds. Only two months ago I went fifteen strong rounds with Steve Ketchel at St. Joe, and when Ketchel was on the floor taking the count, in the eleventh round, his manager, Larney Lichtenstein, believed me any thing but feeble. "I don’t like the city of Cin cinnati, and I’m not crazy about boxing there, but I’ve accepted a match with Tommy Gary there, and I'm going down to that city just to show t-hem that even a tough young fellow like Gary can not take any liberties with me in the ring. "I am thirty years old. I never tasted tobacco, liquor or any harmful drug in my life. At least half of my life I have slept in the open air. There is perhaps no man in the country who leads the careful life I do. My diet includes only strength building selections from the menus. I have no worries, and I have been an athlete seven teen years. Why should I be anything but the picture of health? “As far as the Cincinnati boxing commission is concern ed, I invite the closest kind of an examination into my phys ical condition. "Meantime.
