.BEECXER EARNS A DRAW
OverComeS COSter's Lead by Fast
Boxing in Closing Rounds.

The fast and furious finish of Willie
Beecher the little East Side lightweight,
which lasted throughout the final three
rounds OF his bout with Joe Coster the

the seemingly unbeatable lead which the
clever little Italian had piled ur in the
early rounds.
Coster was beyond Beecher I'm the point
of science and skill. and he relied upon his
skill to even the advantage OF weight which
Beecher had. For the first seven rounds
Coster picked ard jabbed his left TO the
face and landed two clean blows TO one.
He hooked the left TO the body and swung
II into the stomach with force sufficient 10
daunt any except the sturdiest boys i'm the
profession, but Willie took the beating with
a sorry grin and tore in for more.
Joe kept up the defence. and his defence
was good. He seemed TO anticipate the
moves Of his adversary, and just moved
erough to avoid them by slight margin
and then leap back with hard counters.
His blocking was good, and many Of Beech
ors blows landed on the shoulder.
Gradually, however. Beecher beat Cos
ter's guard down and punched away at his
stomach until the latter was weary and
ready to rest. Rest. however. was not part

Shugro 10 the punch and made him miss
his leads time and time again.

GOLF DOCTORS DISAGREE
Ward Says Allegiance Is Still
Paid to St. Andrews.
ONE MORE INTERPRETATION
Explanation Shows Garden City
Club Was Not Opposed to
the Schenectady.

According 10 John VI. Ward, once famous
baseball player with tho Giants and no"
a prominent golfer, the Garden City Coll
Cluh was not opposed 20 the retention OF
the Schenectady or centre shafted putter
previous 10 the meeting Of the United
States Golf Association. He said yester-
, day that a mistaken notion appeared 10
have gone forth, following the action Of
the club when instructions we're issued TO
its delegate. an action which meant sim
plv that golfers here should continue al
leeiance to old st. Andrews.
Mr. Ward, who was the delegate from
the Garden City Golf Club, added that
this was accomplished and that the ssso-
citation here still swears allegiance, in
which, by the way, he appears TO differ
slightly from those who believe that what
amounted TO declaration Of independence
was signed To make his point clear. Nj.
Ward dictated the following statement:
There exists a mistaken notion that the
Garden City Golf Club is opposed to the
retention Of the Schenectady putter on
! the contrary, the club favcrs its retention
and as its delegate at the recent United
| States Golf Associa zion meeting ] was
under instructions to vote 30 as to brins
about that end. The action taken at the
meeting in this particular was precisely
what the Garden City Club desired.
There was an effort on foot to have the
United States Golf Association break away
from St Andrews by refusing to adopt the
amendment made by the Royal and Ancient
club to the clause in the rules regulating
the form and make of golf clubs. The
promoters of this movement argued that II
we adopted the amended clause we would
perforce approve the Interpretation placed
I upon il by the st. Andrews committee, with
the result that all centre shafted clubs, in
Guiding the Schenectady putter, would he
barred in this country
THE Garden CITY club, at its recent
meeting, however. took the ground that VIC
should continue i'm our allegiance 10 St.
Andrews by adopting the clause as adopted
there, leaving il, however, for our own
committee 10 make its own Interpretation.
believing that our committee would not in
clude the Schenectady putter as coming
under the ban imposed by the term NAL
let headed club
This is exactly what has happened The
clause was adopted word for word and our
committee has interpreted II 50 as not TO
exclude the Schenectady putter. And the
United States Golf Association continues 10
pay 10 the Royal and Ancient Golf Club OF
ST. Andrews the complimentary and senti-
mental allegiance accorded 10 it by golr
associations the world over and which has
done so much 10 conserve the unity Of the
rules and tho beauties of the game"
