~ Murphy must go. Organized
baseball stands united on this
question. Ban Johnson's threat to
drive the owner of the Cubs without
the fold is no idle boast. He will be
backed by every one of Murphy's own
colleagues-the seven other club pres
idents of the National League.

1t was learned on excellent author

to impeach Murphy Vt once if he
refuses to step down and out. He
has left himself open to expulsion by
criticising Ban johnson and his own
league.
At the time Tom Lynch succeeded

which made a capital offenSe of any

his National League associates the
Cub owner has defied this mandate.
But the league is prepared to rake
out the dead past if Murphy may not
be dislodged in easier fashion. League

celebrated letter which Murphy wrote
to a sporting writer of Chicago, and

BOX[NG{@NS 55g5y]1S

Boxing fans are taking Ad Wolgast
seriously in his effort to make another
stab at the lightweight championship.
Wolgast's great form in his recent bouts
prove that he is the same old battler,
plenty of hackers when he stacks up
against Willie Richie in their ten-round
go at Milwaukee March IL.
Ritchie's refusal to meet Ad In a long
round route is proof enough that Richie
has great respect for Wolgast's fight
ing ability.
Saturday night at New Orleans, Frank
Whitney, the Fighting Carpenter" will
make strong effort to stop Mandot in
his come back attempt to reach the top
of the lightweight division. Frank is a
pretty tough customer for the French
man to tackle at this stage of his career.
Oliver Pierce, local boy, is anxious to
get on with some 125-pound boy here.
Pierce is particularly wild to meet
either Meyer Prizes or Kid York.
Gilbert Gallant. the tough Boston
lightweight, will clash with Johnny Nc
Carthy in a 20-round go at San Fran
Frankie Burns to 20round draw.
Battling Kelly, the promising
youngster is simply aching to get into

Critic Thinks Golf Cruel Game
Henry Leach Tells About Sport

followed a very encouraging period Of
golf and the effect upon the whole
some-hearted golfer was so depress-
ing that he straightway called the
sovereign game "a vile deceiver."
On the night Of that sad day Mr..
- Leach turned to Robert Louis
Stevenson for comfort and from him
he learned that men do not want
happiness: what they live
for is rivalry. effort. success" Then
Mr.. Leach tried to convince himself
that Stevenson PLAYED golf. because a
gardener had dug up in front Of his
cottage a golf ball deeply marked
with the letters r. l.. s
do not think that Stevenson
played golf. and I am very sure that
If he had written fewer books and
played more golf he would have lived
longer I am equally sure that on
some pleasant day, when Mr.. Leach
found himself going good" he would
consider golf the friendliest, happiest
game in the world.
To my mind the charm OF golf
aside from fresh air friendly in
tercourse. Is in the enjoyment of skill
Of control--in other words, the JOY Of
the expert. II is not SO much win
ming. though that Is not to be, de-
spised. but the sldllful rendering Of
strokes.
Only competition makes skillful
players. for without Il a man can not
measure his advancement. | do not
believe that ones enjoyment OF a golf
match consists in the humiliation of
ones opponent-no, rather in the eS-
altation of ones own skill and a re-
gret that its manifestation, is OBJ
tanned at the cost of another man.
Many a game has been won by
trckery rather than skill. but what
golfer cares for technical victory?
And in that fact one learns the real
jov Of the game.
IT is not the defeat of an opponent;
IL is the pleasan consciousness OF
ones own skill.

Bv "Chick" Evans

a MONTH or so ago There APP
~ peared in a British journal a
very interesting and charac-
terlstic article by Henry Leach on
the philosophy of Golf" A good
subtitle would have been The Cruel
Game or Golf" for IN his article Mr..
Leach attempted 10 show that golf
was a cruel game. much moro cruel
than boxing or even prize fighting,
for he believes that the mental and
psychological pain of the golfer IS
much more severe than the purely
physical suffering OF a boxer or
fighter.
Mr.. Leach thinks that golf is cruel
in its essence because "a match is a
series of exchanges of mental blows
Furthermore. the golfers good shot
IS a greater advantage because of its
effect upon the next shot of his OPP
ponent.
Thus 1T is fairly even combina-
tion of game of skill and a contest
in psychology"
WHILE playing Mr Leach tells us
w a man is SO absorbed in his
game that he loses all sense of physi-
cal WEAKNESS or psychological strain
but both of these evils are with HIM
and when the match is over he real
ICES the accumulation of suffering.
Mr.. Leach does not believe that the
recognition OF the fact that golf is a
cruel game win injure it at all. APP
parently he thinks that in these over
civilized times We are savage enough
under the skin to like things that
hurt do not know whether should
add the other fellow, or not.
This is truly a new view OF golf
and a new role for the genial Henry
Leach. one paragraph in the article
apparently gives us a key to the novel
situation. Mr. Leach confesses that
q few DAYS before writing this art-
Gle he had had one of his worst days
at golf. This unfortunate day had
