When we first began negotiations
for the games we intended to have a
fall festival with baseball as the prin-

to arrange for earlier dates and now
we find that they cannot be here until
November 6. so it will hardly be worth

auspices Of the chamber o. commerce,

Thorpe May Fight Gage In Juarez
Local Gossip of the Fighters

Gage never works on the mat or
punches the bag, combining his train
ing to shadow boxing, rope skipping
and boxing, with pulley work and
wrestling interspersed.
Battling" AanteI continues hard
work at the Cottage. Manten boxed
with Max HalfOrd and kid" Alberts
Thursday, after which he INDUCED in
exercise and shadow boxing. Indica-
lions are that Manten will enter the
ring in the best of shape. The Brook
Ignite is boxer who depends on his
stamina and hitting power to win, and
is developing these assets to large
extent.
Max HaIford, the San Francisco well
ter, who decisively whipped frankie
FOwser in Juarez several weeks ago,
and who is now booked to meet Eddie
Duffy, is down to the required weight
and in excellent condition Halford is
scientific infighter5 and will probably
be the toughest proposition Duffy has
tackled thus far
Duffy is in good condition. the result
of his hard weeks workout with
frankie Gage Duffy fought a 10
round draw with Luis Torres in Albu-
querque on Labor day, and is a tough,
aggressive fighter He boxes standing
straight, but has a lot of experience at
infighting and is continually rushing
the fight.
Colorado Kid Williams. a bantam
weight, will probably secure the semi
windup in conjunction with kid"
PayO. FL PasO- bantam champion, on
September Is Williams is doing light
work every few days TO keep himself
in condition.
Al Higgins will arrive in FL Paso on
or about September IS. Higgins, who
has already signed to meet Jack Her
rick at Juarez, on September %, is be-
ing trained by Bart Gordon, the Okla
homa middleWeight. There is a lot of
Roswell money ready to be placed at
odds on Higgins, according to reports
Joe Herrick will probably accept the
offer made to him by one of the four
round Pacific coast promoters TO fight
in San Francisco. after Jack meets
Higgins.

TT has often been remarked that
the average golfer involuntarily
disquaIifies himself before he has
played two holes through ignorance
regarding the rules.
In the rules of golf as adopted at
St. Andrews and approved by the
United States Golf association we find
this definition of the teeing ground:
The 'teeing ground is the start
ing place for a hole. The front of
each teeing ground shall be indicated
by two marks placed in a line as nearly
as possible at right angles to the line
OF play and the teeing ground shall
include a rectangular space of the
depth of two club lengths directly be-
hind the line indicated by the two
marks"
Offering an understanding of what
is the teeirg ground let US see what
use we must make of it as shown in
rule of the rules Of golf:
Rule II.
L A match begins by each side
playing bah from the first teeing
ground.
A ball played from outside the lin
its of the teeing ground may be at
once recalled by the opposing side, and
may be reteed without penalty.
If ball. when not in play, fall off
tee or be knocked off a tee by the
player in addressing it, it may be re-
teeed without penalty; if the ball be

sible for the New York and chicago
teams to play in Douglas, Comlskey
said in his letter to Charles F. Hanson,
of Douglas, who is trying to have the
clubs stop in Douglas.
The Douglas Dispatch refers to FL
PaSo's position as an attempt to hog
the whole show, and that IL PaSO IS
trying to put one over on Douglas,
adding that FL PasO had planned to
run excursions to this city for the
series, but would get little support
