NEW YORK. Dec 2.-In rating the
golf players for the past season almost
all of the expert critics are agreed that
IL. Chandler Egan stands at the head
for the excellence of his work as a cham
pionship winner while he was at liberty
TO play. Beginning at Onwents;a he
secured permanent possession OF the
Ravinoaks Cup. went from there to the
Western golf championship series and
won that next won the national amateur
championship and finished by capturing
the Exmoor tournament-four in sue
cession
Walter j. Travis. the veteran of the
East is placed second. Mr.. Travis vic
tories In this section have been many
since the goIfing year began. but he fell
off in the more important matches,
which gave his younger rival an oppor-
tunity TO creep up
The third man is one OF the younger
golfers. Jerome ID. Travers. who has
played well enough this year 10 break
even with Travis. as they have two wins
each to their credit.
Fourth on the list Is Findlay Douglass.
Erratic at times, largely due to the fact
that he Is unable TO take steady prac-
tice. the general excellence Of his game
Is such that he cannot be placed lower

Fitz Tells His Story

Won $4,000 Purse and Didn't Get a Cent
President Bet 1t on Jim Hall, Who
Was Beaten
By BOB FITZSIMMONS.

In giving a crowd a run for its money
any time that's possible. l set IL pretty
stiff for Jim, and long before the first
round was over i knew ! had him on
Queer street.
When the fourth round came in Jim
was a cinch. and i just handed him his
and began to count up that big bit of
change in my mind. It's a good thing
counted IT there, for II was the only
counting 1 I'D. While 1 was putting
a nice artistic finish on Jim the good
president of the club was out. I'll give
you FIVE slIesses, and you'll never hit IT.
unless you've heard the story. The
president was down the street putting
up the purse on Jim Hall. AS 1 an,
living man. that's Just what came of.
President Bet Purse.
There we were in the ring, getting
warm and brusiy and the good president
was hiking from one place to another
putting up the $4,000 on a dead one
That's where l fought myself out of a
good bunch OF ready stuff If I'd been
beaten. I'd have taken down the short
end. and that would lave been some
thing but I had to go and whip Jim
into plug hat. and just because L did,
and the presidents judgment had a
hole in IT, I got a financial slap that
hurt.
Then / thought of that fancy little
speech I'd made about sticking to my
old friends in New Orleans. and
could have sat down and howled an In
dian war song. I thought OF the $50, 600
we'd been offered in New York. and I
could have hit some one with an AK.
but ! had to stand anG take the medi-
cine. though I'll never forget how mean

that il was all up.
Where's the coin ?" I asked.
There isn't any coin" said they. at

''All Of it?' want ed to know.
Not Penny Left
Every red" said they, and then /
kept quiet
That was my good friend from New
Orleans. Say. but there are a lot of
things they can hand to you In this
sporting game. and it's a new one every
minute. Think of me standing up there
to batter Jim Hall up and down the
ring for nothing. OF course. IL was
some satisfaction to have handed James
his, and TO shut his trap down about
what he was going to do to me. but
that money was a bitter wallop. I've
got many a worse one in the ring. bur
they never hurt like thar did And ne
all but broke. Wow
However. it's good saying that it'li
all come out in the wash. and il did
got along somehow. but that lesson
taught me q lot of things.
In the newspapers sometimes you've
read something like this: Some DELAY

mons. He wanted the money put UP I'm
plain sight, and said he wouldn't go on
unless some reputable man held the
