MOVE ISSUES CALL FOR FOOTBALL MEN; WORK STARTS MONDAY

First call for Earlham football warriors will be made next Monday after noon by Coach Mowe. It is expectedthat about 40 candidates will answer the first call. Although school doesj not start at Earlham until Sept. 19,1 the football men will arrivei a week! early. Several of the men have arrived already and are taking light workouts every day. It is necessary for the Earlham mentor to call his candidates a week farly, as the first game of the season is three weeks away. This will handicap Coach Mowe to a great extent, for the material available for the Earlham eleven is virtually unknown, and from present indications will be one of the lightest elevens that has represented the Maroon and White for several years. Old Crowd All Gone Coach Mowe has a very difficult task before him to develop a winning combination. Last year he lost nine letter men through graduation and men discontinuing school. This will give the coach only two weeks to develope a team out of the green material. Hanover will be the first opposition for Earlham this season, the game being played at Hanover. The following week the first home game will be played when the Earlham gridmen buck against Wilmington, on Reid Field. Earlham athletic coupon books are on saie now ana can De obtained Dyj fiemng in toucn wnn uoacn .Mowe ori E. P. Trueblood at the college. The price of the books for this year will be $5. These coupon books are good for any Earlham athletic contest. The books contain 16 coupons that can be used at any time or any number. ST. LOUIS 57 POINTS BEHIND N, Y.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Fistic Wallopers Since Earnings Time

When Youths Shrouded Identity is Past Hebrews Now Use Real Monikers Well Paid Sluggers Not Afraid of Paw and Mamma.

By FIIAMC G. MEXKE Ever since they've whopped up the pay of the noble slinger of wallops, he's ducked assuming an alias and been fighting under his own name unless it's one of these names that sound like a tonsilitis gargle. Time was when the fistic youth shrouded his real identity behind a ring moniker. There were several reasons. One was that he feared papa and mama would find out what he did on certain nights and give him an enthusiastic whaling with the family shingle for disgracing his ancestors. Another explanation belongs rather exclusively to the Hebrew race. Although some of the great ring war riors of the bygone days were Jews, l. n.. v . 1 v. , 40 years ago that the Hebrew couldn't th off ,h tk0f wouldn't be worthy of his hire in any bout in which he figured. Jews Used Irish Names. In that era, and for many years aft

erward, the Jewish youngster, figuring!"'"" " a V ,, u"cl "v" Ko vi. 1 u V " 1; " That gave the gallery boys a chance

that his real name would handicap him in getting bouts, changed it. Most of the Jewish boys lit upon Irish ringnames for themselves, reasoning perhaps, that an Irish name would get a man a fight whether he could battle or not. But times changed amazingly. The Jewish fighters, through the years, gradually demonstrated their ring greatness. The greatest warriors in many divisions were and are Jewish. Only a few years ago the Jewish race held the following world's titles: Light-heavyweight Battling Levinsky. Middleweight Al McCoy. Welterweight Ted Lewis. Lightweight Benny Leonard. The fight promoters and fans were quick to realize the real greatness of the Hebrew ringman. The matchmakers actually began to scout around for Jewish fighters. And so the young Hebrew of today who decides upon a ring career finds no necessity for hiding behind some Irish moniker. In fact, he finds that his own Jewish name is in reality an asset. Boxing Now Favored. The Christian boys in the main now operate under the baptismal presentation: that is the new flock of warriors. That's because the papa and the mama no longer regard boxing as a brutal, degrading occupation. They reckon it as an honorable means of a livelihood and one that's charmingly lucrative. Practically every conspicuous heavy

Johnny tried the Panica to twist it into "Pancake" and have a gay time over it. Johnny spoiled their fun by naming himself after a famous species of liquor. Bryan Downey's real name is William Bryan Downey. Mike Gibbons sails along under his real name. So do most of the other 160 pounders. Swaps Tough Name. Jack Britton. another who started fighting long ago. was William Breslin, just as tough a sounding name as Jack Britton but Jack didn't think so when he made the swap years ago. Skim the list of the' newcomers among the aspirants for his title and you'll find the vast bulk clutching fondly to the family name. Benny Leonard is really Benny Leinert. He used the name Leonard instead of Leinert in his first battle, fearing his mother's displeasure if she heard he was a professional fighter. The lightweight division, peculiarly, has been afflicted with more "ponney names" than any other rank. Johnny Dundee is Joseph Carrora; Charlie White is Charles Anchovitz; Willie Jackson is 'Otto Tobler; Rocky Kansas' family name is Rocco and when Joe Wining decided to become a pug he named himself Joe Welling. John Patrick Kilbane is the real name of the king of feathers. The bulk of his foemen use their own names. The boss of the bantams changed his own. name which was of Italian vintage for Pete Herman. He did it because his own name was one

Chips and Slips The two miners had never seen golf played '.before. They stood watching a fat, unskilled player at work in a bunker. The sand flew up but the ball remained. Seven agonizing shots had been played. The player stopper for breath, and then made his eighth attempt. The ball was lobbed up, dropped on the green, and rolling gently to the pin, settled in the hole. "Basrum, Bill,'.' said one miner to the other, "he's got a devil of a job on now." The New York National league club has announced that a testimonial game for Christy Mathewson, ex-pitching star of the Giants, will be played Sept. 30, when New York meets Boston in the last National league game to be played at New York this season An effort will be made to precede the game with a five-inning contest between the present Giants and the Giants who played with Mathewson on New York's world championship team of 1905. Donlin, Dahlen, Rusie, Gil bert, Bowerman, Bresnahan and other players of 15 years ago, will be asked to play. The New York club will give its entire share of the receipts to Mathewson, who is ill with tuberculosis at Saranac Lake.
