Tost Stars at Michigan. » Coach Yost of the famous University of Michigan football team is much sought after by rival colleges. Recently he received several tempting offers, but finally decided to remain with the Ann Arbor pigskin experts. Yost receives a salary of $3,000 for the fall months of September, October

and November. From his vigorouz methods he has won the title of “Hurry Up,” and he was never known to let a player grow fat and lazy. A member of one of Yost’s teams learns quickly to comprehend the meaning of the term “the strenuous life.” That’s the reason his eleven “holds a mortgage” on the western championship.

Mow York Bowlers In Big Tonrney. ’ New York bowlers will make an effort to secure the annual tournament of the American Bowling congress for that city in 1906 and will go to Milwaukee in February with a view of obtaining such a concession from the delegates who will attend the next tournament to be held in tbat city. Brooklyn bowlers are willing to cooperate with those from New York, feeling certain that if the tourney should be awarded an eastern city, and to New York in particular, it would be ■ only proper that such an event should be held at the most convenient center—possibly Thum's—since, with the many large places in New York, a new set of alleys sufficient in number to accommodate the many teams would not be required. Chairman Moll of the Milwaukee local committee writes that for the February tournament there will be 150 Individual cash prizes and 100 team prizes, for which $3,500 has already been set aside for each class. Other prizes to the value of $3,000 and possibly more will be given, making this the largest aggregate ever given at a Similar event in America.

What Nelson Says. “Well, I am still champion of Hegewlscb. 111., and they can’t take that title away from me,” says Battling Nelson, who was recently defeated by Jimmy Britt in Frisco. “When Roche gave the decision to Britt I was the most surprised person in the house. “At no stage was I worried, and I think that I was given the worst of it. Very early in the fight I called the referee’s attention to deliberate fouls on Britt’s part, but there was nothing doing. He should have been disqualified there and then. “I know that I can lick James Edward at any time or place, and if he cares to fight me again I will bet him $5,000 on the side. “Britt Is a tough proposition, but I know that I can stop him. I was robbed of the decision and tbat is all there Is about it There is no use crying over spilled milk, however, and I will have to svfialt my next opportunity."
