national pastime that a strenuous war
will be waged against the reelection
of President Tom Lynch by certain
magnates that he has antagonized.
According to the best informed au-
thorities Lynch might not be unseat-
ed were the yearly conference to be
held at this time. 1t is alleged that
the incumbent has tie support of four
club owners to match the four that
clamor for his scalp. According 20
the National League constitution, an
executive, in case Of deadlock, must
continue in office.
THE four clubs unfavorable to
Lynch are said to be New YORK,
Boston, Chicago and Brooklyn. The
Giants have never forgiven Tom for
three decisions he pulled on them. 1t
began when a game was lost to tho
Phillies through the failure of Klein
to allow a base hit by Moose" Nc
Cormick because the arbiter had his
back turned at the time, as he said,
announcing the change in the batting
order. Fuel was added to the flame
when McGraw was punished as Sc
verely as Pitcher Brennan after the
Quaker had assaulted the Giant man
ager at Philadelphia. The straw that
broke the camels back, however, was
Lynchs unusual ruling in the cele-
hrated forfeited" game in Philadei-
phia on August 80.

Louis is supposed to be on the fence.
If he can be won over by the reform

Lynch's days will he numbered. Herr

ATTELL At END
AS AFACTOR IN
BOXING WORLD

TOR more than ten years Abe At
II tell the former featherweight
champion of the world, was the
terror of his contemporaries. But
time will in the end conquer the most
powerful, and the clever Hebrew
fighter was no exception to the rule.
But in the time of AttelIs regime few
men with pugilistic aspirations ever
tried the ranks of a featherweight
without being dispatched back to the
land of oblivion from which he came.
Attell has been pronounced the cleV-
crest of modern fighters and his rec
ord certainly corroborates his reputa-
ton.
Attell started fighting in San Fran
cisco about fifteen years ago. He was
a messenger boy in the city of the
Golden Gate and in the streets of the
great city received his first pugilistic
training. He gained the reputation of
being invincible among his compan-
ions and gradually became recognized
by the promoters OF the Western city.
They offered Abe a chance to enter
the professional ring and he was not
dilatory in accepting it.
lid LENNETT was Attelrs first
IL victim. The pugnacious little
fighter knocked Lennett out in less
than five minutes Of actual fighting in
the Garden" at San Francisco. This
was his start. In rapid succession
Abe met all the boys of his weight or
the coast and then journeyed East for
bigger ones The Eastern scribes
considered Attell marvel. He was
given a boost by the sporting medi-
ums, and it was not long before he
was matched to meet George Dixon
for the championship in the feather
weight division. The result of that
encounter needs no narration. Abe
was justly proud of his victory and
by way of celebration, he proceeded
to clean up all the eligibles in the
country.
1t is also needless to say that his

Us 'uiuitAs the bfOOkllne gOit-
er, who won the United States
open titla is a member Of Woodland
Golf Club. He is little known as a
national player OF any prominence. It
is timely to tell something OF his me-
teoric golfng career.
-Four years ago he won the inter-
scholastic golf championship Of Great
or Boston, but the significance OF his
win was not IN the fact that he gain
ed the title, but the kind of golf he
played, that brought him this honor.
He won the final on the first nine
holes, so to speak, and the match
was over by ST as he reeled off hole
after hole in fours or better,
His next appearance was as a full
tledged golfer member Of the Wool
land Golf Club, and by winning the
Woodland cup his first year as a
member brought him considerable
prominence
Next his history was looked into.
and It was found that he was born
of French Canadian parentage, on
Warren street, Brookline; that his
father was employed by the Country
/ Club at one time, and that the lad
had followed his daddy over to he
club, had found broken club and
many balls and started in to play
even when in kits.
Next he took his spare time as a
youngster in grammar school to pick
up some pocket money by caddyinR,
and his employers, noting that the
| lad knew more about the game than
n
selecting the clubs
Realizing that he wanted to save
his amateur rating, he gave up
caddying before his sixteenth birth
day. and that same year won the
interscholastic championship
Chick Evans Beat Him.
Ouimet played in four national
championship qualification rounds
and didn't win a place in the draw
ing until this year, when it looked
as though he was going to win the low
score prize at Garden City. until
Chick Evans romped in winner with
a remarkable homewo God run Of 80.
He went through one round Of the
1918 national amateur championship
and was then beaten by jerome d.
Trayers in the hardest match the
champion had to play on his way
through TO the honors he won this
year
Travers said he was the greatest
amateur player he had seen, and gave
/ the lad all the credit in the word
( for his stubborn fight which went
/ against him by 81 on a strange
course mt the hands Of the four time
winner OF the national amateur
I championship.

golf at that time.

@ AMMY HARRIS. who manages
y Kid Williams. tells us that on
the morning of the battle be-
tween Cross and Anderson the latter
was three and a half pounds over
weight. That after he ate a light
breakfast he was forced to go 10 a
Turkish bath and reduce in order to
be mt the proper notch when he
weighed In at the lightweight limit. IL
this is 30, and we have every right to
believe it be, then Anderson could not
possibly have been at his best when
he faced the tough and Shrewd Cross
boy. At the same time all credit be-
longs to Cross for the victory, for 1t
was no fault OF Leachie that Buddy
failed to get his flesh of by natural
means
A Turkish bath is a splendid place
to reduce your poundage, but at the
same time the hot vapored atmos-
phere Saps your strength and nine out
Of ten times sends you into the ring
in weakened condition. Dozens Of
fighters have met defeat through this
cause. Some Of the boys were simply
unable to reduce by road work or
gymnasium stunts and were forced to
resort to artificial methods. In fact,
they signed to fight at a weight i'm

other class too lazy to work on the
road who prefer the Turkish bath in
removing the superfiuous beef than
to take 1t off by natural processes

ence matters of this sort.

The general public hardly realizes
the strain the fighter labors under
when he is reducing. Often they go
for As hours without food and give
their whole time TO the drying out
process. THIS naturally weakens them
and they can't possibly be at their

ONLY a short time ago he was beat

crushing of any desire for further
fame within the squared circle. Attell
declared in a public speech that he

never see him with the gloves ON

The truth of the matter is this: At
