GOLF IN The SNOW
One Enthusiast Tries Game
With Snowshoes

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 6.-Going in
the snow. when there is only a light fall,
not sufficient to hide the red ball when it
drops, or when there is hard crust, on
which the ball runs so nimbly that a
dub can make 200-yard drive, is glor-
ious sport, and many golfers take advan-
tage of such conditions in these wintry
days.
1t remained. however, for an enthusi-
astic golfer (too enthusiasticl to crown
winter playing with the absurdity- of
snowshoes. He was seen one day last
week at the Country club, and his atti-
tudes and gyrations were wonderful to
witness. A drawing of his snowshoe
stance should have place in the golfers
hall of fame, and inasmuch as his ardor
both in snowshoeing and golf play, was far
in excess of his Skill his efforts to man
age his feet and hit the ball at the same
time. resulted in contortions that would
put the strivings of circus performer
far in the shade. He hit the snow oftener
than he hit the ball. and when he did hit
the ball he was unable to find it. He was
satisfied, however.
'T am after exercise, and 1 am get
ting it," he said. There was no gain
saying that.

ARMSTRONG MIGHT
HAVE BEATEN JEFF
Big Fellow Was Frightened
and He Lost His
Chance

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Big Bob Arm
strong was knocked out in four rounds at
Haverhi1l on Christmas day by another
colored pugilist named Walter Johnson.
Armstrong, if he had possessed the cour-
age and the nerve, might have prevented
James J. Jeffries from ever coming into
prominence. When Billy Delaney brought
JeffrieS East for the first time the boiler
maker was practically unknown He
weighed 240 pounds stripped and Delaney,
together with Billy Brady, proclaimed
him the coming champion of the world.
| In order to prove to the pugflistic fra
ternity that Jeffries could fight it was ar
ranged for him to meet two men in q
single night-Bob Armstrong and Steve
O'Donnell. Jeffries contracted to knock
each of them out inside of ten rounds.
and the affair was put on at the Lenox
Athletic club in this city.
Was a Good Boxer
Armstrong was scientific. shifty boxer
and a good, hard punchef. He had Tom
O'Rourke behind him and was the first
to face Jeffries. The latter was so fat
crowd fairly hooted him in derision. If
Jeff had been introduced as John Jones,
of Hoboken," Armstrong would probably
have displayed the courage Of a lion, but
heralded as coming champion took all
the heart out of the big negro. Yet, at
that. Jeffries never came near scoring a
knockout in the ten rounds. Instead he
numbered around the ring in the clumsiest
manner. Armstrong using his feet skill
fully and jabbing away with the left hand
to his hearts content. 1t was a pretty
even thing and could have been called a
draw, but at the end of the bout the ref
cree decided in favor of Jeffries, partly
because Armstrong had been clearly
afraid to take chance.
JEFF s showing was SO poor that Delaney
and Brady evidently decided that no
more chances should be taken with a
man of O'DonnelfS caliber, so the boiler
maker announced that he had injured his

fizzle that Jeffries was called a dub" and
a lobster by the short Drained critics
who could not see where he had a look in
for the championship. FitZsimmons was
one of the spectators of that night, and
he formed such poor opinion of jeff S
prowess that he held him cheaply all the
time that he was training for the mill
that turned the championship over to the
big fellow.
Regrets Opportunity
Armstrong never got over the fact that
he lost a chance to acquire fame by beat
ing Jeff when the latter was out of real
fighting trim.
"n 1 had only taken O'Rourke's tip
and mixed it up, said he. Il would have

that the spirits of the dead commune

possible for men to carry halos about

riety of beliefs regarded by the ma

be demonstrated as truths.
