GOLF AND BUSINESS;
ONE HELPS OTHER

Probably few devotees of golf have
ever paused to consider to what length
the game has extended into profession
al as well as the business life To
get a better idea of the hold 1t has Sc
cured IL is only necessary to note its
constantly growing connection with
the trade in various forms of special
associations.
If one were to attempt to show how
almost inseparable golf and business
life have become he would soon get
lost in a hopeless maze of figures. At
any rate, existing conditions serve to
make ridiculous an article that ap-
peared in one of the doctors papers
some time since to the effect that golf,
on account Of the nerve strain. is not
an ideal game for everybody. especially
busy folks with few hours and days
pened since, it would appear that eX
ponents OF the game have shown their
disdain for the warning by playing
more soft and taking less medicine.
Game Good for Business sIan.
Even If the enthusiast does not rob
the office of a little time in order to
catch an earlier train to the club the
chances are that he will be able to do
the better work when he picks up the
thread" again on the morrow; that is.
unless he takes his golf too seriously.
For instance, there was the case of the
hostess. who. when at tea in her home.

of anxiety, what might be the terrible
noise in the hall where the furniture

were other angles to the betting.
Some of the Is round bets read
FLYNN to win in 5 rounds" and the re-
mainder Miller to stay Is rounds" and
those who wagered on Flynn to win in
Is rounds claimed that they must have
won because there was no 18th round
A DoubIe-Edgcd Decision.
It is said that one old sport on being
asked for an opinion as to the merits
of the controversy, declared that while
those who backed Miller to last Is
rounds were undoubtedly entitled TO the
money wagered, he felt that those who
had bet on Flynn to win in Is rounds
also had won.
Isn't that nice kettle of. fish? How
in the name of all that is reasonable
could there be two winners
If Miller stayed-or averted defeat
for IS rounds. surely Flynn could not
have won in Is rounds.
He must have won after IS rounds.
The pool sellers wriggled out of q
tight corner by refunding all the Is
round money to the original placers
and the Miller-Flynn Is round incident
may be considered closed
Suggests a New Rule.
But when the New York boxing com
mission, or whoever it may be, appoints
a committee to frame up to date boxing
rules it seems to me that the follow
ing should be inserted somewhere:
When from any cause it shall be
made to appear between rounds that a
boxer is unable to continue the referee
shall await the signal for starting the
following round. Then If either boxer
fails TO toe the scratch he shall be
adjudged loser"
It may be worded more gracefully
and with more regard to euphony and
construction but the idea is there. The
thing is to do away with a boxer win
ming or losing between rounds"
Flynn Is Improving.
Flynn by the way is considered by
San Francisco sports to be a much i'm
proved boxer. Seeing the cold blooded,
heady way he watched for an opening
when fighting big Miller, it is hard to
understand why he seemed to get
ratified and resort to butting in his
affair with Jack Johnson.
Another match between Flynn and
Al Kaufman may form one of Coff-
roth's fall cards. It is strange how
kaufman maintains his grip on the re-
gard Of western hight followers. No
matter how poorly big Al performs
there is always some one to demand
that he be given another chance.
His personal popularity, no doubt,
has much to do with the desire to see
him in action Just once more"
In the case of Flynn and Kaufman
the argument is used that since each
man has a victory over the other to his
credit it is only fair that they be sent
together in deciding bout
