M Joe Msndot, one of the
Southern aspirants, to the
lightweight title, gained the deci-
sion over Mickey Sheridan, of Chi
cago, in an eight-round bout at the
Phoenix A. c. Monday night.
Sheridan made what was regard
ed as a game showing. but proved

an advantage in every round.
The Chicago boy tried to stem
the tide in the fifth round. when he
forced Mandot to adopt defensive
role. but Mandot came back in the
sixth with a rally that threatened
to end the bout. Sheridan was
rushed TO the ropes and corners, but
always managed to cover up. He
cecuperated rapidly for the seventh,
and finished the last round with
plenty of strength. In fact, specta-
tors were under the impression that
had the bout gone much longer
Mandot might have succumbed, ow-

d" HERE is a strong probability
that group of American pro-
fessional golfers will go abroad
to take part in the British and
French open championship tourna-
ments. The Golf de Paris club has
invited Il team of four American
professional golfers to compete on
the LaBoulie links. A substantial
purse has been put up and travel
ing and maintenance expenses will
be paid, if it is the same team
which completes in the British
open.
These facts remind us that the
West has some excellent profess
sional golfers. who deserve to be
considered in this connection, and
one of whom is the subject of to-
days article.
Jack Croke was born of Irish
parents in New York city. but
went to live in Ardsley- the
Hudson when very young His
first knowledge of golf was OBJ
tanned at an extremely early age at
the Ardsley Golf club, where he
served an apprenticeship under
Willie Dunn, and he caddied for
that professional in his match with
Willie Park. When Willie Dunn
laid out the Ardsley course Croke
carried the paint pot for "dobbing'
trees, and in every way managed
to make himself useful about the
links. Afterward he worked in the
shop, not only for Willie Dunn, but
for his successors, John Dunn and
John Foreman.

Later he went to the Onondaga
golf course Syracuse, n. Y, and
thence to the Waterbury Golf as

one year. From Waterbury he
went to Roanoke. Va, for another
year, and then he spent four years

MEYERS To HELP
NJ GRAW COACH
JIM THORPE
By w. j. McBeth.
\ NE of the reasons why Jim
\ Thorpe picked New York as

~ NE of the reasons why Jim
y Thorpe picked New York as
his gateway to big league
baseball fame is the fact that his
good friend and wise counsellor,
John Tories Meyers, is a member
of the Giants. and will take pains
to see that the famous Carlisle attn
lete gets started right.
Of course, there are other con-
siderations. The principal one is
that McGraw offered Thorpe a bet
ter contract than any of the other
clubs. Then the great all-round
champion likes New York best be-
cause he has competed in many
meets here and has many friends
in the city.
1t is believed that Thorpe will
draw no less than $4,000 for his sea-
sons work with the Giants. He
could have earned more money,
perhaps, by going into vaudeville
first. but he hasn't yet reached the
stage when he puts money above
all other considerations.
Aside from other advantages of a
New York engagement, Thorpe will
profit By instruction from one of
the best teachers in baseball. He is
not only proud to be Giant, but he
and his mentor, Glen Warner, both
believe that if he is to develop as
q great baseball player John Nc
Graw is the man to bring out the
best that is in him
Thorpe will be under the special
"tutelage" of John ]. McGraw and
John T. Meyers, to use a term made
famous by Charles Victory Faust
McGraw counts on Meyers to give
the younger Indian good advice
concerning things on and off the
ball field. 1t is probable that
Thorpe and Meyers will room to-
gether on the road and that they
will live together in New York.
