To the great body Of golfers the work
Of the greenkeepers IS vastly more i'm
portant than that Of the green committees
and the professionals. The green COM
mittees are constantly changing and In
too many cases the chairmen and their
associates know littie OF nothing about
the upkeep OF the course. Most profess
sionals are not conversant with green
keeping and win have nothing to do with
IT. As some one expressed IL talking Of
a professional: He knows how to cut
a hole in the green for cup and that Is
the extent Of his knowledge"
But to those of US who want to play
over well-kept fairways. where we are
reasonably certain of good lies, over
greens where the wormcasts are reduced
to a, minimum. over greens which are nat
burned out and which are cut with intel
ligence, where the ball above the hole
has as much of a chance of getting into
the cup as the one below it, on greens
where the crabgrass is unknown or
where ii is eliminated as soon as 1t makes
its appearance, where the bunkers and
pits are well kept, the greenkeeper is
man Of Importance. The trouble with too
many of our clubs Is that We spend too
much money on our professionals and not
enough for competent greenkeepers. Com
ing down to the last analysis, we golfers
would rather have a course which is well
kept and we'll planned, than possess a
professional with a national reputation,
who is away most OF the time playing
matches with other professionals: Ten
years from now we will spend more time
in selecting greenkeepers than in choos-
ing professionals, and the better paid
men i'll be the greenkeeper, as he de-
serves TO be. i

come when such thing as an Intentional
knock tout In boxing match viii almost
be unknown. THE present-day scrappers
are content TO win on points. and few
Of them are capable OF scoring knock
out. even though they try with all their
might" me writer says. Jack Skeily
takes up the subject with the following
interesting discussions
John L. Sullivan made a wonderful
reputation in the, prize ring when he be-
came champion by touring the country
offering 1900 to any man who would
stand before him. Queepsberry rules, for
four rounds Sullivan must have met 100
men in this FIRST X, o. tour. and not one
OF them was able to stay the four ses-
sions. with the big fellow. Many of the
most powerful were put away In one
short round. such men as Al Marx, the
Texas Giant, and Dan Henry, at Hot
Springs, and many others.
''On this tour the total receipts. which
were divided between Sullivan and his
manager. AL Smith. amounted to a little
over S1s7.000 with expenses about 200.
Neither John L, nor any one else ever
kept a record of the many battles on this
trip. They would. indeed. make a long
and interesting study in themselves.
In 1850 number Of sporting men in
Brooklyn thought Paddy Smith had a
great chance against Jack McAuiiffe for
the lightweight title. but when they met
Jack put Paddy away in the first round
as he came tearing In.
Tom Sharkey put Gus Rubin away In
the first round when they met at Coney
Island. but in two subsequent fights
Rubin defeated the gallant sailor in
mastery style.
Remember Terry.
We can all remember. how Terry Nc
Govern put the K. o. on PedIar Palmer
in less than half a round at Tuekahoe
on September Is. 1899. Terry was certain
ly a quick. aggressive. decisive battler at
that time. for he put Patsy Haley. Harry
Forbes, George Dixon. Caspar Leon. os-
car Gardner. Frank Erne. Joe Cans,
Tommy White, and many other fstic
stars asleep within a year or so Of each
other. In fact. 1893 and 1900 were the
banner years Of AlcGovern's great career
within the ropes. The following year
Young Corbett put the X D. over on
Terry in two rounds and In 1903 again
put him TO sleep in eleven sessions to
prove It was no fiuke.
