Athh tie c luh football, semi professional football and profes
sional football are all failures.
A few possible exeeptiuns tii this statement may exist but
they are suufcw mill so scattered as hardly to furnish the conven
tional -- *
Semi-professional football lias been tried time and again in
various sections of the country. And generally it has lioon a
mild failure, liuunciaily mul urt istiealli.
Perhaps the eliief objection to semi.professional football
is tile fact that it is impossible for the plavera to get in condi
tion for the game and for the teams to get sufficient practice to
make a lirst class game possible.
A goodly per cent of tbe serious accidents and fatalities in
football ronie in athletic club games where the men go onto the
tield poorly prepared for a streinions eiiooiiiitcr.
In the colleges the men start work early in September. Six
days every week they get on,the field before four o’clock ill the
afternoon and work until six. After a little they harden into
niicIi a condition that they can run full tilt into a runaway auto
mobile, without even sustaining a dent.
Hut—your—Ht4il«4ie-<4ub mao Ims m> ehauee-to get-any sueli
training. A few times before tbe games lie goes into a gymna
sium and runs signals, if be gets any chances at tackling, fail
ing on the ball and kicking, it is exceptional.
And then he goes into the game. Ills muscles are soft, his
wind is broken and after ■he has played awhile lie is too exhaust
ed to put up any games worth speaking of
actually injured in the encounter lie is too
worth his space for two or three days.
The New Year’s game at Piedmont Park was an exception
to tlie general rule that athletic club football games are'’jokes."
As a general thing the men are in such poor physical .con
dition and Imve so little elmnee to learn even the signals that
the games would imt do credit to a couple of grammar school
teams.
We may lie in error. It wouldn’t be tbe first lime by
many occasions that we have quite lost count. Hut our opinion
— and staled for what it is worth (which isn’t much, hot nnyxrny)
is as follows, vjx, audio-wit. that: Athletic Huh football is N, <1.
fwhieh means "no go") ami that all efforts to put it on n firm
basis arc misdirected and practically wasted.

and he has a sure enough hold on the

the fatuous strangler, even In his palm
lest days, would not have been the
equal of Hnrkenschmldt. Lewis- Is out

Cleveland strong man. Is out of the
game as n champion.
BOXERS KEEP BU8Y.
The year 1906 has been remarkable
»r tho great number of boxing
matches which have taken place In va
rious parts of the country, but there
have been only a few of them of great
Importance to-the followers—of the
game. Chicago and New York, two of
the great centers of boxing n few years
ago, are still closed to the si*ort, but
the number of bouts which take place
do ‘not seem to diminish In the least;
on the contrary, there has been nn.In
crease In many parts of Ihe country,
but there seem* to be n disposition on
the part ot the promoter}! to keep the
bouts down to a more reasonable basis
—this, short round affairs, such as are
conducted In Philadelphia. Milwaukee
and Indtnnnpnlt*. The exception Is In
the State **f where finish bat
tles hove taken place, and it Is the only
state in the Union where finish con
tests are permitted.
In the heavy weight division there
has been no one developed to meet
James J. Jeffries, although the-Nevada
promoters are now trying hard to coajt
Jeff to come out front his retirement
and agree to make one more fight for
to championship.
Tommy'Burns is looked upon today
as the champion, although If Jeffries
were to return to the ring there would I w „
he nothing to Tommy's claim, ns h** f uni** j;43.
would hardly class with Jeff. Burns
.ntet anti defeated .Marvin Hart for the
title and last November fought a 20-
round draw with Philadelphia Jack
O’Brien at I.os Angeles. O’Brien also
claims that he has ns much right to
the, title as Burns, as he defeated Tom-
In a short bout two years ago.
However, the boxing public seems to
favor Burns In th** controversy for
the title. O’Brien still retains the light
heavy weight title and he Is also cred
ited with the middle w+dght Wmmpbm-
ddp. since Boh Fitzsimmons has prac
tically retired and was beaten by o'BH.
The next best man to O’Brien In
the middle weight division s**ems to be
Hugo . Kelly, of I ’hiqig**. who Is u le
gitimate ir.fi pounder, and who has
been making good against all tlpj best
ten of the country around the middle
eight limit.
WELTER WEIGHT8 WRANGLE.
There Is considerable controversy
over tho welter weight title, and Joe
Thomas, the California boy. and Honey
Mellodv. of Boston, both claim It. Mel
ody defeated Joe Walcott for the title
and Thomas had previously knocked
out Mellody, hence hi* claim. How
ever. Thomas has gotten beyond the
142-pound mark and will have to go
Into the mUldlt* weight class. s«j that
Mellody Is the man to defend the welter
weight title no\^.
In the lightweight division there Is
no dispute, as Joe Hans has a dear
title. Battling Nelson ts the man wh*»m
the public would like to see meet C,.»ns.
for they are not yet convinced that
Hans Is the better man. It Is true that
loe won on a foul It) the forty-second
round, but there ntv many ’who Mill
think that If they meet against Nel-
»n will beat th** colored nmn.
Abe Ant tell holds the fort In the feath-
r weight class. having defoated
’rankle Nell. Harry Baker and Jimmy
Walsh for the title during the past
abnvg that weight when they met. n
Baker won At Los Angeles.

PLENTY OF RUNNING RACES.
Despite the opposition In Chicago
and other places to running races th* t *
were plenty of them during 1906 In the
East, but the loss of the great Ameri
can Derby at Chicago was felt. Ti •
running records seem to be very much,
like the trotting and packing mark* —
apparently at the limit, but always be
ing smashed.
Atoka ran 3-6 of a mile at Hut»\
Mont., In 33 3-4 seconds, a new mark.
Pinkerton ran 3-S at New York in
