COLLEGE RILES
By Innis Brown.
I T n ay be all right for the national
game of baseball to spread over
the length and breadth of the land,
invading the small tow’ns in an or
ganized form, but if it does, said
•'priading will cause woes untold to
1 ‘liege coaches of football and b^ise-
Ball, A number of the small towns
ri this and adjoining States are now
• rijoying league hall for the first time
in their existence, with the result
hat every hamlet and village is being
ombed for ambitious young ball
( layers, who hope to pick up a few
1 isc dollars, and at the same ti,me
aflnrd themselves an opportunity for
getting into the game professionally
for larger things.
Owing to the fact that these towns
have only a limited population from
uhlch to draw their patronage, it is
• necessary that they establish a sal
ary limit that will not permit their
managers to sign up anything other
than youngsters who have never
had league experience, and in a ma
jority of cases, who have never even
played college ball. Many of their
players are either “prep'’ men, or else
boys who have shown more progress
in playing ball than they have in
•lass work, and atfe not even attend
ing a good preparatory school.
• * *
AT the present time there are a
^ number of good ball players in
Houthern institutions who are barred
from playing because of the fact that
they have received money for play
ing. Only last season eligibility rules
knocked Pitcher Wilder off of the
Georgia team, when he was giving
promise of showing great stuff in
college circles. The same thing hap
pened at Vanderbilt two masons ago.
when Bob Brown was declared ineli
gible. At the time he looked to be
the best bet in the box that the Com-
modbrae had he£n able to uneartn
since the days of Spencer Love.
At the present time, there are no
less than five valuable ball players
at 'Washington end Led who are un
able to play college ball because o1
the fact that they have played pro
fessionally. In fact, these are
good that they have played in various
eagues from the Appalachian League
up to the American League.
However, it is not with the colle
gians, after they have .entered college-,
that trouble is likely to arise. Once
in university, most players will show
enough loyalty to the institution to
stay off ; of the professional stuff,
until they have completed their
course. The trouble is rather with
the youngsters who have developed
sufficiently to attract atteption before
they reach college. There are many
of these, who would have to do from
two to three years preparatory work,
before they can make the require
ments at a university, and it is these
fellows to whom the allurements look
•especially strong.
* * *
TAKE the case of Hickman, football
* star at Riverside during the pres
ent year. Owing to the regulation
of the prep association, he was al«
lowed to play football but has been
cut off of the baseball team. ThD
boy was good enough to size up with
the best in the Appalachian League,
and would certainly have made some
sweet football player had he entered
college and been allowed to play.
However, his baseball experience will
cut him off from college football in
the South.
It appears practically certain that
college eligibility rules will have to be
revised, else ’college athletics in this
section will suffer, provided thepe
small leagues make good. Of course,
it is* a practical certainty that many
of these are going to spring up, run
9 short course and then 'die over
night. For the limited drawing ca
pacity to which they are restricted,
makes it a fact that many toe tile
mark, but few check in at the finish.
* * *
'THIS, however, will mean little to
*■ the youngsters who spoil their
amateur career by going into profes
sionalism. In fact, it will mean noth
ing. save probably that they will wind
up a season with a few' dollars back
salary due from a defunct team,
whose treasury has long since been
depleted. There is a lot of satisfac
tion, and some glory, to the local
enthusiast w r ho puts up a few dol
lars in real money to organize a
league team, but it is another thing
to have to keep digging down for
the real mazuma to maintain the
team when the boys are going bad
and the gate does not register a cor
poral’s guard at the games.
It does not seem likely that a re
vision of the eligibility rules of the
Southern Association will be made at
an early date. This contention is
made, that it is next to an impossi
bility to draw the line between a
player who has received money from
a semi-pro club and one who played
in organized ball. As a matter of
fact, cleaner eligibility requirements
could be established if the faculties
of the different institutions would see
to it that men who play on the teams
are past the dead line in their class
work.
• * *
A T the present time there should
be little or ho trouble in keeping
track of these matters. A few years
ago, with few exceptions, members
of the faculties of Southern institu
tions paid little or no attention to
athletics. However, whether through
a pure love of sport or an apprecia
tion of the fact that a winning ball
team affords very valuable advertis
ing, you can now see most of these
professors lined up in attendance at
both football arid baseball games, and
It is not an uncommon thing to see
more than one of them show up the
most enthusiastic freshman in the
way of rooting for the team.
Furthermore, many of them know
very member of the team intimately,
heir acquaintance extending from a
knowledge of the locality from which
the players come, to an ability to give
.• ir pedigrees for a couple of gen-
ratiens back, more especially if said
pedigree involves athletic prowess on
oar of some preceding male member
of the family. In view of these facts.',
here is no reason why Southern col
lege faculties should not be able to
pass readily on the standing of its
athletic aspirants of itself without
. ailing on outside regulations to make
them come to time.
If the Southern Association can see
fit to include summer baseball, with
certain limits, it will allow a good
number of youngsters w r ho would oth
erwise be barred to take part, and at
the same time allow- them an oppor
tunity lo' earn vacation money in
larger amounts than they would like
ly be able to earn otherwise.

CINCINNATI CROAKS
BATTLING NELSON, AT CLOSE RANGE AND IN THE RING
FOR Jill 12
By Thomas ,J. Halpin.
(Quarter Mile Champion of United
States and Canada.)
1 AWSON ROBERTSON, coach
of the Irish-American Athletic
Club of New York, Is credited
with the statement that Abel R.
Klviat, the mller who represents that
dub, Is able to give John Paul Jones,
the great Cornell distance runner, a
handicap in a mile race and defeat
him.
When questioned about this, Rob
ertson replied: "I don't recall having
said this, but it goes, nevertheless,
as I consider that Klviat could con
cede Jones five yards and defeat him.
This means, in other words, that
Klviat, when running at his best, is
capable of doing close to 4 rninpt.es
12 seconds for the full mile distance."
The Irish-American Club, which
means Robertson in the matter of
track athletics, has been carefully go
ing forward with arrangements to
have Jones, Klviat and Taber meet
in a special mile race at the annual
meet of the New York Athletic Club,
which will take .place on June 12.
If this race is held on the Travers
Island track it is reasonably sure to
be a record-breaker. Jack Moakley,
who is training Cornell, has said
nothing about Jones appearing in this
race. The New York Athletic Club
has flatly refused to listen to any
such arrangements as the games in
question are run solely for amuse
ment for the members and no admis
sion is charged.
Owing to the fact that Klviat re
fused to compete in the indoor games
of the winged foot club, he Is not
any too popular with the officials of
the New York Athletic Club. The
Irish-American Athletic Club would
cheerfully finance such a meeting at
its track on Lon& Island, for if tfiL
race took place on a Sunday over
30,000 “fans" would take in the race,
for it is a popular meeting place for
track athletics and is well supported.
It Is to be regretted, however, that
Jones does not fancy running under
such conditions, but it is not too much
to suppose that if the National Ama
teur Athletic Union championships
are held early In the summer the Cor
nell record-holder will oppose Klviat
in the mile run for the championship
of this country.
Although much has ben said about
these two runners, little hope is held
that Taber, the Brown track captain,
will be able to successfully challenge
either of them over the mile distance,.
Taber is, however, training faithfully
himself as a miler and this confidence
is a great asset in a race of this
kind.

Century Plant of Lightweight
Fighters Will Lay Aside Gloves
After Long Career,
T HEY always referred to him as
the century plant of the prize
ring. He loved the title, for it
struck him as adulation no other
fighter received. Now it Is all to,
be forgotten. For Oscar Battling
Nelson, of Hegcvvisn, 111 . the greatest
fighting machine that over fought, in
this country, is going to retire.
There is no press qgent yarn about
his stepping aside. Thp hands (hat
brought many flaiie stars to their
finish, the iron jaw that stopped
thousands of blows, have done their
work and are entitled to a rest.
The career of this human dynamo is
nothing leap than sensational in the
extreme. All he knew was'fljjrht. ATI
he did was fight. Not the fancy fcifjd-,
but. the steady, persistent method
that overcame ail obstacles and never
stopped until it put Oscar Battling
Nelson at the top of the pugilistic
ladder of fame.
Eulogizing Nelson would mean
nothing but a repetition of facts that
hav ' been printed thousands of times
all over thi» continent. He', is un
doubtedly the most widely known and
popular fighter that ever donned the
gloves.
As an instance’ of big popularity
we can recite what happened after
Ad Wolgast wrenched th< liglUty^ight
crown from Nelson. Wolgast paraded
his honors for ten weeks and earned
$10,000. Nelson went out before the
public and within thirteen week*
gathered in $16,636. Only two m« n
have been credited with knocking him
out—Wolgast and Moran. Nelson al
ways disputed their claims, swearing
thut he wav not given a fair deal id
those battles.
He holds the record for marathon
fighting by meeting ajxtysinc bat
tlers in one week in FoiJuflelpbia^
How many battles h#y ida-.Vfd. b-adUig

was idle, and to put th* figures* at
600 would be conservative.
He leaves the ring with a fortun**
estimated at $360,000. H1» income is
at the rate of $700 a month. He's
entitled to every dollar, for he gave
value for value received.
There will never be another Bat

Tiger Star Pitcher Sends Over
Curves, Slow and Fast Balls
by Different Motions.
DETROIT, May 10.—Jean Dublin
of the Detroit Tigers, attributes his
success as an American League pitch
er to the fact that he can deliver his
curves, his slow ball and his fast ba^
with three different motions, and have
control of the ball by his motion.
“Years ago. when I was pitching
with Notre Damn College, I learned
that speed without control was value
less. I always had pretty fair control
of my delivery, but with the acquired
knowledge I began perfecting diffei -
ent deliveries and control of the ball
In each,” says Jean.
‘It took years of patient effort to
acquire th« j delivery 1 now have, but
I believe it is one of the least tryin/r
on the arm and shoulder muscles, for
the reason that 1 put the weight of
mv body behind the pitches and lo
not depend on the strength of my
arm. to. send up a fast ^all.
"I worked with my slow ball for
tfordC* months before I could get a
cqj*,ve to it, and after that it took mo
three i;e,a:,.s to perfect tlje delivery.”
Dubuc declares that his delivery
would be an ideal one for a left
hander, inasmuch as hitting such a
ball from a- left-handed pitcher would
be much harder. The ball would come
up to the batter on an entirely new
angle, a-nd Jean insists that the best
batters m the major leagues would be
puzzled.
Various persons have been given
(C*aHI far developing Dubuc, and
among -those honored Hugh Jen-
jiLagsi. Hughey, however, declares
that Dubuc alone is responsible.
TTCcfcit is one of those players who
never wastes a moment,” says Jen
nings.
“When he is on the bench and an
other man is pitching, the Frenchman
is always figuring what he would
throw the batter. What is more val
uable. he makes ills comments alou 1.
