Chicago, finished their training
grind yesterday for their bout at the
Columbia theater tomorrow night.
Both boys claim they are in the best
Of shape for tie fray, so that neither
should have an excuse to offer if de-
feated
The boys are scheduled to battle
over the round route, but the
rival ringmen promise a knockout be-
fore the tenth round is reached. Nell
son and Mcmahon are both noted
for their ruggedness, and it will take
stiff punch to put either boy away.
Mcmahon has defeated such boys
as Maurice Thompson. Jack Payne,
twice. Jimmy Anderson, Jack Gold,
Eddie Collins and several other boys
around here
Nelson needs no introduction to
local fans. as he has been battling
around here for over two years.
Terry is going better than ever now
and is out to land a match with
either Whitney or Abel if he whips
Mcmahon.
The semi windup will be a six
round affair between Kid Brown, the
Greek bantam. and Young Goldman
of Chattanooga The winner of this
go has been promised a match with

tenn of looking at the hole, felt it 20

promised by looking at his own bali,
but keeping at the same time a men
tai picture of the hole with his ball
dropping into it. This plan had
worke> like magic.
IN line with this theory is the as
serton that good players are made
chiefly by imitation, and the would
be champion should spend a great
deal of time watching players of rec
ognized ability
No doubt there is much truth IN
these theories of subjective or sub
conscious, golf Take the theory II
imitation, for instance. With children
the initiative faculty is strong and
they easily reproduce strokes. With
most people, however. this ability
weakens with time, and they deceive
themselves. 1t Is easy to imagine
that one IS playing a Vardon stroke
when it is something quite different,
and much of such self deception
would prove disastrous to ones game.

COMMENT
By Ed w. Smith.

~ HICAGO. March 10.-"This
Murray boy out on the
coast is going to be another
Stanley Ketchel, / should say,
judging from the form he has dis
played and the wonderful conf
dence that he has remarked
Harry Foley the other night in
discussing the latest fistic find"
out on the Pacific Coast. Muir
rays first name is Billy and he
is the 19-year-old boy who took
Lee Houck 20 the most crushing
defeat of Leo's long and tenn
pestuous career. 1t went only
fourteen rounds and the German
was completely whipped.
"H ELS like Ketchel in that he
IL has got a shift that is a
cOrker," Foley continued in his
laudations of his townsman. Yes,
I'll go further than that and say
that he is nearly as good as Fitz-
simmons was with that crisis
cross style Of delivery. And by
the way he isn't unlike Fitz in
build at that, especially from the
waist down. He has the same
old knock knees as the Australia
wonder has
GIT WAS this shift that got
Leo going early in the fray
and kept him going all the way
through. Murray is an innocent
looking sort of a boob and when
Houck sized him up in his corner
he must have figured him to be
the easiest kind Of picking, But .
when they shaped up in the CEN
ter and had been sparring for a
few moments Murray started his
shift and swung right into Leos
jaw so hard that the German saw
stars.
ct HAT started Leo backing up
on his heels and I'll swear
that he never recovered his equi-
librium from that on to the finish.
He was rocked all the way
through, Murray fighting care
full battle and taking few chances
Of running into one of the des-
perate mans swings
GYM HAT struck me most Of all
w was this lads supreme con
fidence both before and after the
Houck contest, He always thought
he would beat Leo and after he
had turned the trick he didn't
seem 10 feel either highly elated
or changed in any way. / asked
him IL he would box Clabby and
he said he would be glad TO do so.
at HEN suggested to him that
1t might not be a bad idea
for him to get some Of the soft
ones before he took on the Ham
mond man. He looked at me in a
blank way and then told me he
didn't figure Clabby any worse
than the others, and that was all
he would saw.
0VoU know that a young fell
low who feels that way
about It, sincerely. too, l might
say, Is bound 10 make a heavy
mark among the middles before
he gets through. ] wouldn't tout
him to beat Clabby, whom | con-
slider one OF the greatest ever,
but he Is capables Of giving any
OF them a Whole lot Of trouble,
take it from fne,"

~HICAGO, March 1O.-In an in
I teresting article on subcon-
scious golf by Henry Leach,
mention is made of the case Of a good
golfer who wished to conquer a GER
tain stroke that constantly eluded
him. His plan for learning the stroke
was to have three enlarged photo
graphs made Of a first class player
properly executing the stroke.
One photograph depicted the be-
ginning, the other the top of the
swing and the third the finish These
pictures were hung where they could
be constantly seen by the player WHO
wished to improve his game. He made
no conscious effort to study the pho
tographs, merely looked at them from
time to time and his mind simply
absorbed them" Gradually he felt
the secret of the stroke was being IN
folded to him until at last he found
himself playing it exactly like the
man in the photograph. It had all
been a matter OF unconscious alb
sOrptiOn and imitation

J. G. Wood, was being hunted for
wheel stealing when the property of
Mir. Wood was stolen. Special Off
GERS had tried for some few days to
find him, but had failed. When found,
he wore the stolen hat Of young man
named Wilson, and a coat, evidently
stolen, which was too large for him.
A stolen wheel was left in the woods
for about three weeks recently, and it
was not disturbed, although more than
one boy knew it had been placed in
the black Jacks" and they thought it
was a police trap to catch the thief
This was learned after the wheel had
been recovered by an officer.
One boy the past week claimed the
two wheels and frame of a wheel at
the police station, while another iden-
titled handle bars on the same wheel
as his property. while still another
identified the light on the same wheel
as his property. The wheel wah re-
turned piece meal to the claimants.

DENNIS, ANOTHER NEGRO,

HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE.

Alex Hawthorne, the negro who shot
and killed Ed Dennis, another darkey,
early Sunday morning, was yesterday
locked up at the county jail, and
charge of murder has been docketed
against him. This action was taken,
however, pending the investigation of
the killing, which Hawthorne admits,
by the coroner. A jury will be en-
paneled early this morning. Permission
to remove the body of Dennis was
given by the coroner, and the inquest
was postponed until some hour this
morning.
This is the third killing, according
to records at the county Jail, which
will be inquired into by the next grand
jury. Self defense is pleaded in two
cases, while the third is that of young
Brown,awho was shot down by Mrs.
MCGOWAN in the office of the superin-
terdent Of public instruction, a short
time ago. The woman who shot Brown
has been eXonerated by a COroner's
jury, but Sheriff Ellis Will have to
see to it that the cases are brought
to the attention of the state solicitor.
who will in. turn bring each of them
before the august body for investiga-
ton.
Hawthorne readily admits having
slot down Dennis, and said that the
latter was found on the premises of
the man VINO did the shooting. Haw-
thorne, in Calmer moments yester-
day, stated that Dennis made a move
ment toward him which he, Haw-
thOrne, interpreted as n threatening
attitude, and when the prowler said
nothing ana continued to advance
upon him, Hawthorne said, ne shot.
Immediately thereafter he made his
way to the police station and gave
himself up, telling what had happened
