PAUL R. TALBOT A
SELF-MADE GOLFER
Pastor Becomes an Expert
Player Under Discourag-
ing Conditions.
(By Charles ("Cbick,) Evans.

One of the most interesting persons
of the many l have met on my pleasant
travels about the country is DIR. Paul r.
Talbot, rector of Grace church, Kansas
City, Mo. Most people are interesting
to the student of human nature. but
golfers are especially so. because golf
brings to light good or bad sualities
that seldom disclose themselves under
other conditions. DIR. Tolbat admirably
illustrates my favorite theory. that ev-
cry clersvman should play golf
When the golf wave first reached
the west DIR. Talbot was studying in a
theological school on Lake Neshota.
near Milwaukee. He purchased a book
on how to play golf. set it up in front
of him. and word by word, sentence by
sentence. he practiced directions with
a golf club. Imagine the courage and
enthusiasm of this young student,
alone in his study. painstakingly work
ing out his shots. The wonderful thing
is that he really developed very good
game nv this method.
After his ordination DIR. Talbot's
first charge was Anderson, Ind, link
less town. For a time he endured the
loss of his wholesome recreation. then
he obeyed the call of the links and laid
out a few holes outside the town.
do not know exactly how he encom-
passed his object, but 1 do know that
he cut the greens and fairgreens with
his lawnmower, and L think it would
be very interesting to know what be-
came of that course when he went
away.
DR.. Talbot's next charge was at
Hutchinson, Kan. There, accompanied
by his golf clubs. went the true golf
missionary" and there he laid the
foundation of prosperous golf club.
Today that club has a membership of
200 people. but there were many diff.
ficulties in the beginning, such as tin
cans for the holes and the fact that DR..
Talbot continued his old habit of cut
ting the greens himself. Cutting grass
under hot Kansas sun. watering
greens with a sprinkler and building
crude bunkers If necessary surely mean
an unusual sort of enthusiasm.
In 1906 I played in my first big tour
ney, the western championship at st.
Louis. In an early round D. E. Saw
yer, the winner, defeated DR.. Talbot on
the thirty-seyenth hole after being two
down. In 1908 at Rock Island DR. Tai
bot defeated Warren Wood and only

CIabby Is San Francisco Idol
Most Versatile of Fist Fingers
Naughton Lauds Hammond Star

San Francisco. Cal, Dec. s.-Jimmy
Clabby intrenched himself more solid
ly still with the San Francisco sports
by his wor<manlike handling of Frank
Logan at Day City on Thanksgiving
afternoon. After seeing Cfabby in all
his variety, the western fight follow
ers have about concluded that he is
the most versatile young fist finger
that ever appeared in a San Francisco
ring.
In the engagement with Logan Clab-
by acted like fellow who Is subject
to whims. The first few rounds showed
that he had his opponent sized up to a
dot He made Logan miss by swapping
his head back a very few inches.
When he felt like ringing the
changes in his system of defense he
used his shoulder as a barricade and
If by any chance Logan's right wand
cred too close to the Clabby Jaw Jim
my permitted his head to roll with the
punch and robbed it OF Its sting.
1t looked in those early rounds as
though Clabby was simply burning
with desire to show the crowd how
clever he Is. He tainted and leased
Logan rather than punished him.
He was told beforehand to be pre-
pared for trouble If ever. the sinewy
soldier man closed in on him and made
a hand TO hand fight of it, but when it
came to breast-to- breast work Logan
was so bewildered by Clabby's re-
sourcefulness that his sole thought
seemed to be to find some safe place
for his face
In this short range work Clabby
used right loop and used it SO that
Logan came out of every clinch with
fresh evidence of punishment.
Clabby might have kept right along
goading and pecking Logan for TWEEN
~ rounds had it not been that short

patch of skin from Jimmy's nose in
the fifth.
The blood dripped on Jimmy's arms
and his pride was hurt He changed
from a tactician to a Turk right there
and there were several rounds Of trad
Ing work that kept the Clabby back
ers on the anxious seat.
In the seventh Jimmy yanked out
his dental bridgework and tossed 1t to
his seconds. and this was equivalent
to clearing the decks for action.
Until the tenth round Clabby's
friends felt that their man was taking
uncalled for chances and many mes.
sages OF warning were sent to Jim.

'MATTY' KING
OF TWIRLERS
Allows NJ. l.. Rivals Ave
rage of About Two Runs
Per Game.

Christy Mathewson veteran of the
New York team, easily maintained his
supremacy among National league
pitchers last season and is awarded
first place by safe margin in the Of
fetal pitching averages of that league,
made public yesterday by Secretary
John Heydler. Mathewson held his OPP
ponents to an average of little over
two runs in nine innings during the
season and took part in forty games.
of which he pitched twenty-five COM
plete combats.
Babe" Adams of Pittsburg was Sec
ond to Mathewson with record of on
ly Els runs per nine innings earned og
him in the forty-three games in which
he participated. Tesreau and Denlaree
of the Giants were close behind Adams
in the matter of effectiveness. Pierce,
the Cub southpaw, who worked in fast
company for the first time last season,
was fifth In the league. His opponents
made an average of not quite two and
one-third runs oc him in nine innings.
Charley Smith and Larry Cheney rank
ed next in efficiency among the Cub
hurlers.
The work OF pitchers is gagged by
their own performances and not by the
work of their supporting teams, as
used to be the case under the archaic
system Of ranking hurlers by games
won and lost. Each pitcher Is charged
with the number of runs made off him
without the aid of errors or passed
balls. The total of earned runs is di-
vided by the number of innings each
man pitches. and that result is multi
piled by nine to give the average OF
earned runs for a regulation game.
None of the National legaue pitchers
succeeded in holding his opponents be-
low average Of two earned runs per
game. while the official records OF the
American league showed that five of
its pitchers allowed less than two
earned tallies on the average in nine
innings.
Larry Cheney was the most useful
pitcher in the old league, as he took
part in ffty-four games. although he
pitched only twenty-five complete con-
tests. Seaton of the Phillies struck out
the greatest number of opponents, set
ting down 16s of them by the whiff
route. Tesreau of the Giants struck
out 16 men. Seaton also has the poor
est control he passed 1s6 batsmen.
Lavender of the, Cubs hit thirteen men
with pitched balls. leading the league
in that respect. Alexander OF the Phil
lies welded the whitewash brush oft
enest, pitching seven shutout games

STAGE SAYS
IT'S UP TO BOARD

director Of athletics at the University
of Chicago. who is here on his svaca-
ton. said today that the possibility of
a football game next fall between the
Harvard and Chicago elevens still was
a matter of conjecture. An invitation
for game recently was received from
Harvard, Mr.. Stage said. and had been
referred to President Judson of the
University of Chicago. He added that
President Judson probably would call
meeting of the universities athletic
board in the near future to take action
upon what he described as Harvard's
challenge" Mr.. Stage declined furth-
err to discuss the matter until the ac-
ton of the athletic board is made
known. He said he would return to

Stomach
Trouble
advertising Story No. 3s)


Though we must confess some fail.
ures, often think our success is real
~ wonderful in treating stomach
troubles. The great difficulty in ac-
complishing permanent and satisfac
tory cures, is the rayinous appetities
of the human race. If the doctor CAN
NOT and the patient WILL NOT ex-
ercise the necessary control over the
appetite, then it is impossible to re-
move the cause, in great many
cases.
In spite of the fact that we must
let people have their own way about
eating, for eat they will, we are often
able to trade off as it were, by substi-
tuting some new articles of diet, for
the old harmful and trouble-making
diets they have been using, then by
little judicious medication and spon-
dolotherapy, have been able to pro-
duce very gratifying results and often
surprise myself as well as the patient.
Any stomach, liver, kidney, bowel or
bladder trouble of which you may
complain will receive my prompt at
tention and best efforts whenever you
may see At to place your case in my
hands. Consultation free. Come!
