LESS WILLARD KNOCKS OUT RODEL
Westerner Has Advantage All the WayBoer Downed Four Times Losing in Nin-First Scheduled 20 Round Fight in the East Since 1901.

vile, Now the name of Walter Co., chato is known from one end of the grand circuit to the other from kal- amazoo, Mich. to Rockingham park at Salem, N. H.. and from Buffalo to Lexington Opposit the name stands a record of 2.03 IA. and the statistics for the racing season just closed show that Walter Cochato won for his huckster owner the princely sum of S6500, the largest amount credited to any pacer in the 2.05 class.
 While the campaign and the turf history of Walter Cocheto are known to many followers of the grand cir cult. but few know the real debut of this noted star. The son of Cochato (2.17 1-2) and Kitty Burgess. by Pat chen Wilkes. was foaled in Franklin county, Ky. seven miles from Frank fort, on the farm of w. H. and w J. Lewis prominent breeders of trotters. The black colt grew so rapidly that he was not highly regarded by his breed- CTS and he WAS picked up at a small price when representatives of the DaughePty stock farm were in ken lucky Like all Indiana horsemen, MT. Maple was anxious to secure a horse of good size. and when Walter Co., chato was led into the ring his size alone recommend him, as she show ed little speed. In his three year old form, however, the colt made Q cred itable campaign in the hands of Il. K Trowbridge of Marion, Ind, and as a four-year- in 1912, he beat all the best pacers on the great western circuit, driven by Harry Snider of Montpelier.

BOXING WORTH $45,0oo
 TO NEW YORK STATE.
According to Report of Athletic
 Commission.

Although there has been a tempor- ary slump in boxing during the last six months, the sport is on 8 sounder basis now than ever before in it's his tory. There are approximately fifty clubs conducting bouts in the various parts of New York state, and the great majority of these are thriving. This is made apparent by the report of the State Athletic Commission, which governs the sport in New York. During the last year 900 has flow ed into the coffers of the state, , per cent of the gross receipts of every boxing entertainment This is $10 000 less than the sum received last year, but that decrease is easily explained
 No new worlds champions have been crowned. One reason is perhaps that the various title holders were loath to risk their laUrels. Johnny Coulon. for example. the bantam weight champion, has not fought a championship battle since he gained a, questionable decision over frankie Burns in New Oreleans in February 1912. Willie Ritchie fought Joe Rivers only since he whipped Ad WOlgast, excepting his one match with Leach Cross here in this city. KiIbane, too, refused to take many chances with his newly won title, while Jack Johnson boxed only one ten-round bout on December 19 in France, and because of an injury had to be content with a draw against Battling" Jim John son.
 "Gunboat'' Smith stands out as per 1aps the most promising of the white beaVyWeights at the present He is a terrific hitter and is rapidly picking up boxing skill. His defeat of the once mighty Sam Langford has placed

him in the front ranks of the men of his class.
 George Carpenter won the heavy weight championship of Europe by defeating ''BombarieT'' Wells, the English champion, in one round
 The French Federation of Boxing made an attempt to strip Jack John son of his championship title, and ap- pealed to the State Athletic Com mission of New York for support, but Charles J. Harvey, the secretary, cabled the French solons, that the negro was recognized as worlds champion in this country.
 At the present the champions of the respective classes are as foIlows:-- Bantamweight. johnny Coulon, feath- erweight, Johnny Kllbane; light weight, Willie Ritchie; welterweight, openj rniddleweight, open; heavy weight, Jack Johnson

TINKER AND BROWN
 SIGN CONT TRACTS. Joe Expects to Be His Own Boss With Chicago-After National League Players.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-The final papers by which Joe Tinker and Mordecal Brown, for many years National league baseball stars, cast their lots with the Federal league were signed in the local offices of the Federal league today. This was confirmed by both players, who said also that their salaries had been guaranteed by a bonding com pany which assured them full payment for three years contract, regardless of what fate may befau the league. Both said. too that their departure from organized baseball into the new league had not been made without a. full in vestigation, which convinced them that the Federals had sufficient finan- ciaI backing to make it a real com petitor of the older leagues.
 Tinker's contract calls for $36,000 for the three years, according to a state ment by Charles Weeghmar, president of the Chicago club.

TT is no doubt true that the ma
jcrity Of the golfers play simply
for the exercise the game affords.
Certainly golf furnishes an excellent
opportunity for exercise, but it also
supplies one of the finest studies in
the world. and he who plays only for
exercise misses half the pleasure. One
can get a good deal of fun and ex-
ercise by Just batting the ball around,
yet surely much additional enjoy
ment can be found in attempting to
discover the reasons that lie back Of
good or poor shots.
D. R. Forgan has said that golf
is the study of a lifetime" and this
is undeniably true II one wishes to
attain excellence. Every day the care
ful player can learn something about

obstacles to be overcome. II NAV
be argued that the business man has
no time to study a new game, bur
little more care in playing would
require but little more time
There is a great pleasure in know

derstood. Accidents happen, of course.
ana fortune is proverbially tickle but
she. like providence, is a little more
inclined to help those who help them

There Is a great deal of good golf
literature to be obtained at present
and l have no doubt a great deal OF
information can be obtained in that
way. Personally, I have never read
