APAWAMIS TO HAVE A "PR0.'
Potts, of Edinburgh, to Have
Charge at Rye Golf Club.

The rumors to the effect that the Apa-
wants Club was going 10 dispense with the
services of golf professional this season
have gone up in thin air. W II. Potts,
native of Edinburgh, who was with Donald
Ross at Pinehurst throughout the winter
and prior to that with him at Manchester,
Mass. has been engaged by the Rye or
ganization. Potts is good player and
enjoys the reputation Of being long
driver. He signed a contract yesterday and
expects to start in at once. He Will have
charge OF clubs, balls and supplies. the
same as the late Willie Anderson and Her
bert Strong, both Of whom preceded him
there.
With regard 10 the national handicap list
leighton Calkins rises to remark that the
United States Golf Association disabled
itself from producing a reliable handicap
list when It undertook 10 make it serve two
entirely different purposes. He adds that
he does not believe a national handicap list
is practicable, and finished with this para
graph:
I'm my judgment the L. S. G. A. is pro-
ceeding in the wrong way. II should con-
fine itself to the adoption Of a national
handicap system and require all local as
socIations TO adopt such system in the
handicapping Of their players, and to GER
tify to the national association that they
have done so. The actual handicapping
should then be left to the district associa-
tions who are far more competent to pro-
duce reliable ratings. The national asso-
ciation could compile a championship eligi-
bility list from the various local handicap
lists and save itself lot OF work, at the
same time obtaining better results"

SECONDS TOSS UP SPONGE
So Bob Moha Is Prevented from
Knocking Out Jim Smith.

Bob Moha, the doughty mddleweight
from Milwaukee, stopped Jim Smith. of
West Chester, In eight rounds of one-slded
boxing at the National Sporting Club OF
America last night Smith was on his feet
at the end, but was weak and groggy when
Billy Roche threw the sponge into the ring
in token of defeat His action was timely,
for Moha was bombarding Smiths body
with fusillade OF terrific jolts. and a clean
Knockout was only the matter of moment.
That Smith lasted as long as he did was
only because Moha was not disposed to end
the battle more quickly.
From the first round Moha had his man
missing wild blows and countered heavily
10 the face or body as the opening present
ed itself Many times Smith reeled from a
blow on the jaw or crumpled up from a
stinging right to the body. He was pain
fully slow and landed only a few clean
blows.
The end came after about two minutes
of work in the eighth round. Smith was
tired when he came up, and missed a left.
Mona countered with right on the solar
plexus, and after a few more punches
Smith went down for count of eight. lie
rose and tried TO box, but before Mona
could do further damage the sponge was
tossed up.

To BOX N THE GARDEN YANKEES HARD PRESSED
New Club Applies for License and
Likely to Get II.
HELD UP FOR A FEW DAYS
Frank Farrell, Owner of Yankees,
Denies That He Is Inter
ested in Venture.

Application for license on behalf OF
the Garden Athletic club. which proposes
10 hold boxing contests at Madison
Square Garden. was received at the Office
of the State Boxing Commission yester-
day At the meeting of the commission
the granting of the license was deferred
because Of technicality. the certificate
Of the necessary bond not having been re-
turned in time from the State Controllers
office in Albany.
The Garden Athletic club has been in
corporated. with s. y. Van Allen, presf-
dent, W. II. Randel. treasurer and Thorn
as J. Ryan, secretary. 1t was stated un-
officially that the new club had rented
the Garden for a sum approXimating
5000. 600. There have been persistent ru-
mors to the effect that Frank Farrell was
interested in the new venture. but the
owner Of the New York American League
baseball club denied this yesterday In
most emphatic terms. He said:
The report connecting my name with
the new boxing club I'm Madison Square
Garden is without foundation ] am not
interested directly or indirectly In this
undertaking. My baseball interests are
Of too much importance for me TO waste
time and money in the boxing game"
The Buffalo Social Club of Buffalo was
granted a license by the commission.
There 'wero the usual complaints, includ-
ing that OF Sailor Burke and his manager.
Bob Clarke, against the Long Acre A. G.
The contention was that the club did not
bring off the show as advertised. Burke
being billed TO box Victor. The fighter
and his manager want 5000. Final de-
cison was withheld pending further evil
dence.
Complaints also were lodged against
the Empire Athletic Club for failure to
comply with the state boxing laws An
other charge against the club Is that per-
sons after paying money for seats were
refused admittance This question viii
be gone into further at the next meeting.
Word came from Chicago last night that
Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion
of the world. is beginning TO grow skeptical
concerning his bout with Jim Flynn. the
Pueblo fireman. Jack Curley, promoter of
the match, failed to keep an appointment
with Johnson, IN which the champion
states details wero TO be discussed ana n
site for the battle selected in either New
Mexico or Nevada. Now, however Johnson
has arrived at the conclusion that neither
Curiey nor Flynn is anxious to continue ne
gotiations.
1t seems 10 be the general opinion OF the
boxing "fans" that the match has fallen
through.
The last entertainment OF the season at
the Long Acre Athletic Club Will he held
tonight. when Joe Shears and Young
Lustig and Willie Houck and Mickey De-
vine will cross gloves I'm two ten-rOund

The rival teams batted equally we'll and
neither hit TO much effect except I'm one
inning. when New York won the game
through superior fielding and base running.
Mcconnell pitched effectively, even II he
was wild. He was steady and cool in the
pinches. Quinn's control wasn't good
either, and he was often in the hole. The
locals tied the score in the eighth by slam
