JACK BLACKBURN LOOMS UP BIG
New Darkey In the Prise Rins Come
mnnds Attention.

New Dnrkey In the Prise Rims Conc
mands Attention.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. zS.-Another dark
shadow Is looming up on the pugilistic
horizon. Jack Blackbur has announced
that he is a candidate for the lightweight
championship. This is rough on the eau
casian aspirants TO the title. Joe Cans
is no more than eliminated than Black
burn, who has long been considered too
heavy for the lightweight division, scales
down to 13S pounds and was strong at that
weight in his bout with Memsic. Black
burn has been trying for three years to
get matches with the crack lightweights,
Thoy told him to make the weight. He
did It for Memsic. but, according to sew
eral experts. he weakene himself. Black
burns manager says his man is strong at
1913 pounds. The only way for him to
demonstrate this is to take on a light
weight Of real class.
Blackburn is clever enough to stand off
Battling Nelson and other topnotohers for
six rounds even at almost any weight,
but II Is extremely doubtful IL he could
last ten or fifteen rounds with the cham
pion at 1873 pounds. The negro might
weaken himself making weight and still
outlook any opponent for a few rounds.
But TO win a championship he must 60
west and try a longer route.

change his connections two or three times

to secure the consent of his club, and
this was rarely withheld. Now he must

OLD GUARD LEADS At GOLF
Season Fails to Produce the New
Names Looked For.
TRAvERs, TRAVIS AND DOUGLAS
of tho Course In America
for Many Seasons Hold on 90
Supremacy for Another
Year ne Least.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2s,-The list Of inn
portant golf tournament winners. both in
championship and open events, during the
1908 golf season, reveals the fact that the
''old guard" has continued to hold its own
against the dvances Of the precocious
youth. The names Of young men figure
conspicuously in a majority of the compe-
titions. but they have been golfers of ex-
perience rather than new Corners without
regulations. In other words, some of those
who attained places In the final brackets
five and ten years ago were able to repeat
this season.
AS to the open tournaments. the value OF
a first depends to a certain extent upon the
merit OF the links as a test Of golf and the
quality Of the opponents. Unless these con-
siderations are reckoned with, the number
Of chief cups gathered in by a golfer are
OF no special consequence. 1t Is quite pos
sible for a man to win a cluster Of cups
over courses in a certain section and then
fail utterly to make good in more I'M
portant tournaments. There are those who
win first cups regularly In open events at
the summer resorts in the mountains who
rarely figure at all In the Metropolitan
Golf association circuit. Points that count
most are steadiness in play in high class
company and the average maintained on
links that compel good golf.
To start the competitive season in this
section Findlay s. Douglas won the Lake
wood tournament last April, and a week
later the national champion of a decade
ago was runner-up to w. C. Fownes, jr.,
at Atlantic City. The latter Is another
old-timer. Douglas als) won the gold medal
in the qualifying round Of the Apawamls
tournament in July, and, as he played in
important part in several other tourna-
ments, the 1893 season was the best expert
enced by the Scot in years.
Walter ]. Travis scored his first success
of the year in this section by winning the
spring tournament over his home green al
Garden City in May. The veteran also
won at the Nassau Country club and al
Poland Springs. Jerome d. Travers. the
national champion, scored first in the Hunt
ington Valley tournament, where he dis.
posed Of Eben NJ. Byers, the 1906 title holder

enoe a lapse for some time thereafter
that Is, 50 far as open tournaments were
concerned. He competed, however, in the
metropolitan championship tournament
at Baltusrol the latter part of May, and
after having the title apparently in hii
grasp, lost to Charley seely in the fina
round. A few weeks latter Travers sue
cessfully defended his New Jersey title a
Englewood, and in September he returned
to top form and won the national cham
pionship at Garden City for the SECOND
time.

tional title at Chevy Chase. while MasoI

more than a year ago he won the Western
open. In the east the best showing on the
part OF a young and comparatively unknown
amateur was the recent winning OF the
chief cup at Atlantic City by r. T.. Hayne,
the Yale freshman.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2S.-The 1908 season
of golf was the best known since the game
secured a foothold on this side OF the
water. fifteen years ago. Aside from the
almost continuous string Of open and in
~vitstion tournaments this year, the various
championships proved to be memorable
affairs. The first OF the national events.

August. resulting I'm a tie between Fred
Mcleod and VIII smith at the end OF

a notable performance.
The United States open championships
since the beginning have been won without
exception by foreign players, but the ma
tive-born are annually showing more
strength and the day will come when one
of the home-breds will succeed in breaking
through the Scottish lines and win the
coveted title.
Closely following the open, came the
amateur at Garden City. where Jerome
IraVers so ABLY defended his title. The
young man, who only a few months ago
celebrated his twenty-first birthday. is
without doubt the strongest amateur gclfer
playing the game here today. He is not
only a genius when IL comes to playing the
strokes. but he is a master Of tactics. and
Is full Of resources.
The critical match Of the recent cham
pionship at Garden city was between Trav-
ers and Walter ]. Travis. and It is doubt
full II a finer match was ever brought off
between two leading amateurs at thirty
six holes. If the champion could be pre-
vailed upon to cross the water, taking with
him several of the best American anna
Tours, one of the number might have the
distinction OF duplicating the feat accom-
plished by Travis at Sandwich in 1904.
In winning the national woman's title
at Chevy Chase a month ago, Miss Kath-
crime C. Harley developed a consistency OF
play never before seen by a woman ex-
ponent OF the game in this country. Such
faultless direction with the wooden clubs
was unheard Of, and IL the Fall River cir

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Its "all off for

Athletic union Of the United States put its

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-while the ath-
letic split between this country and Great
Britain was being announced to the world
in scare-head type. the Amateur Athletic
uunion at its annual meeting passed a
rule which will be Of more real benefit

lete who wishes to change his club affilia-
tions to compete unattached one year

the colors of another.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.-There will be seven
umpires in the National league next season,
President Pulliam having passed up his
plans to have referees for each game be-
cause Of the scarcity of reliable men. The
American league will have the double UNI
pire system in 1909, and President Ban
Johnson soon will announce the names of
the men who will compose his staff.
The latest umpire signed by the National
league is S. p. Cusack, who has had ex-
perience in the American association and
the Eastern league. Cusack is a Chicagoar
and was highly recommended to Pulliam
by managers and players who live in this
city. Last season the National leaguers
