COFFROTH WILL
STAGE BIO
DP
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2— Whetb
er or not James W. Coffroth. presl
dent of the Lower California Racin'
Association, and at one time a promo
ter of many of the professional ring
battles between champions, will ha't
any active part in staging boxinj
matches in the bull ring at Tijuana
Is a question that none of his friend)
seem able to answer. Coffroth hai
vouchsafed nothing definite other than
to say that his former right hand man
Gregory Mitchell, is going ahead with
plans to bring together the best met
in various classes in the ring today
According to Coffroth, Mitchell will g,
after the championship bouts of 2<
rourids.
Fiver since Coffroth became idenii
fled with horse racing there have boot
rumors that he would promote oci a
sional fights as a side Issue, and thi
belief is general that he is a silent
partner In the present venture. Thi
bull ring, which is about a mile fron
the Tijuana race track, is being re
modelled and it is expected to hi
ready for the staging of a match it
September if a suitable bout ran hi
arranged.
The appointment of Hugo Bezdek
University of Oregon roach and alb
letlc director, as manager of thi
Pittsburg Pirates, may not necessarily
mean that the university will havt
to find a new football coach.
No action has yet been taken by
the school officials toward filling Bez
dek's place, and it is very probable
they want to retain him, for it was
Bezdek who trained the Oregon elev.yn
that defeated Pennsylvania last New
Year's day at Pasadena.
It has been pointed out that the
baseball eeason closes early In Octo
ber, and that the university probibly
will open late in September. So by
coming directly west Bezdek could
arrive at Rugene in time to whip out
a team. As he would have to leave
i '....-'—i
for the tratninJLcamp here early In
the spring, the J vcerslty would havs
to get a new bast jail coach.
Bezdek signed! three year contract
with the unlve»lty recently. When
he went east s veral weeks ago be
said be expected to return and get. an
other Oregon tet n Into shape, despite
the war.
An effort is b ing made to induce
Duke Kanhanam ku. the famous Ha
waiian swimmer, to participate In the
national quarter] mile championship,
which will be had at Alameda, Cal.,
on August 11. Dtily Dangers, another
holder of national and world's swim
ming records, who Is at the present
time living in the Hawaiian Islands,
'also is being urged to enter the ev snt.
fl’hese invitations have been mO"e
than ordinarily pressing for the rea
son that followers of swimming In the
far west are anxious to see these two
men again In competition with Nor
man Ross, the Olympic Club expert,
who will be an entrant In the event
| Ross is swimming at the top of his
form and has broken records In al
i most every event that he has entered
recently. His fellow club members
are sanguine that he can hold both
the title holders from the Islands in
bis wake,
The two most prominent girl swim
mers of the Pacific coast al the pres
ent time are Miss Prances Cowells
and Miss Dorothy Rums. The former
iH a San Franciscan, and the latter
rails from Dos Angeles. Miss Cowells
has a unique record, in that since she
won all the swimming championships
in which she entered during the Pana
ma-Paelftc Exposition In 1916, she
never lost a race.
Both women not only have strength
rnd speed, but their form is consid
ered, by judges of swimming, to be
as nearly perfect as possible. Miss
Cowells Is under the daily tutelage of
the clever Swedish -ixpert, Gus Peter
son, while Miss Burns is being;
coached by Vance Veith. J
GERMANS ClilM
SUPERIORITY
IN AIRMEN
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Aug. 1.
—Interesting comparisons of British
French and German methods of air
fighting were made recently by Gen
eral von Hoeppner, commander of the
German flying forces, in an Interview
with the Berlin correspondent of the
Holland News Bureau. General von
Hoeppner admitted that the air forces
>f the entente allies were superior on
the western front and la the Balkans,
but said that on the eastern front the 1
German airmen outnumbered their ad
versaries. Mere superiority lu num
bers, however, he professed to believe,
meant nothing when compared with
the quality of machines and of the
men flying them. He added:
"The Frenchman Is obviously not
to be placed on a par with our air
men from the point of view of morale,
but It Is just In flying the Briton
proves that be Is of German race, and
therefore has a love of fighting. In
general tbe Frenchman only attacks
when he feels himself numerically su
perior. He avoids a fight under equal
conditions. The Briton seeks the com
bat. The Frenchman only attacks
once; If the first attack be unsuccess
ful, he Immediately retires. The Eng
lishman, on the other hand, fights till
he or his opponent goes under.
"In their Spad aeroplanes of 200
horse-power, and the British Sopwlth
trlplanes, they gioRSeRR splendid ma
chines, which mostly equal our best
machines.
"More important, however, than the
superiority of the machines is that of
the crews. The enemy battle airmen
are just as much up to their job as
ours. That is not so, however, with
the reconnojterlng airmen. In the
case of the French, their training, ,
which Bhould be of a purely military !
character, la mediocre: while the Brit-;
Isb 1h even inferior. Here are to be
found the deeper causes of the better ;
performances of our fliers;
"To Britishers flying Is a sport, the
climax whereof is aeffght. They Reek '
the combat regardless of the question I
whether the carrying out of the charge |
entrusted to them renders this ne
cessary or not. The German is first
of all a soldier, who looks upon every
flight as a military operation, and that
decides his line of conduct. Our pro
portionately smaller losses, therefore,
show that our commanders are too
good soldiers to set their airmen 1m
possible tasks. Moreover, the airmen ,
are not sent out singly, for the fulfill- I
ment of military tasks is more import
ant than oil spirit of sport and all
bravery. The century-old German mili
tary tradition cannot be caught up
with by the three years’ warfare of
the British.”
A final Inquiry as to who the Ger
mans prefer to meet as enemies,
elicited the response: “That Is a
question which may not be put It is
not the sporting achievement, but the
fulfillment of the charge In hand that
is the main thing. With us every sol
dier wants to be a Boelcke—the death
of his comrades does not frighten ;
him.”

matchless indeed
Is the electric light in more
ways than one. In the first
place it is the most brilliant
ami sunlike light known to
man. In the next place no
matches are required, just
a turn of a button or a pull
on a chain. It Is the light of
power, safety and conven
ience. Its use means more
comfort and less labor.
