Postponement Of Battle Use
Big Disappointment to
Fight Fans.
BY JAAIEs ]. CORBETT.

n 7 EW YORK, Feb. 9.-The postpone
ment Of the Packey Mcfarland
Mike Gibbons bout, originally
set for next Thursday evening at Madi-
son Square Garden. is a big disappoint-
ment to local fight fans. Notwithstand-
ing matchmaker Billy Gibsons an
nouncement that the match has been
put off at his own request the sports
have about given up hope Of seeing
these two gladiatOrs settle their differ
ences in the ring.
Gibson assures me the match is posi-
lively on and that PaCkey and Mike
will meet in a ten round go at the
garden during the first week in March.
He claims the pOstpOnement Will bene-
fit both boys in that it will allow them
more time to train, and from a finan-
ciaI standpoint it will help everybody
interested. February u (LincOln's
birthday, the original date was a sorry
choice for the meeting, Gibson argues.
as experience has demonstrated that
New Workers turn to other forms Of
amusement on such days and that in
consequence attendance at boxing
events suffers.
Sports Are MUttering.
Gibson has selected the March date
for the reason that a big delegation of
sporting men from Chicago and other
cities will be in New York at that time
to assist in the home coming reception

maker with it, The owner of the ball
Immediately claimed that it should
count as having been hOled on the pre-
flcus stroke. OF course the other side
vigorously protested and the match
remained in dispute for several days
Ine ultimate ruling, the matter having
been referred to an authority to de-
elGe, was that the ball should have
been replaced without penalty, on the
ground that if the ball had missed the
cup and rolled ten feet below, the
owner would undoubtedly wished to
replace it.
On another occasion a grasshopper
figured in match during a tourna-
ment The ground was hard and very
Iast The ball of the opponent con-
uDued to roll straight for a sandpit
after it was played and it seemed as
u would be strong enough to trickle
IN but it finally came to rest on the
very edge of the pit As the player
approached his ball a big grasshopper,
which had been beside it. started off
and disturbed the ball so that it top
ped into the pit. The insect had ac-
tGally kicked the ball into the hazard.
the narrator held that his OppOnet
should replace the ball without PEN
atty, and this was finally done.

Little Disputes In Golf Game
-:I- -:H- -;.- -:I:- -:I:-
They Arise Easily Many Times

T would seem almost impossible
that such tiny matters as cater

figure in golf, yet instances have
been recorded where a stable dis
pute has arisen over just such mat
tiers.
a well known golfer tells the story
Of a fOur-bau match which had fin
ished at the 18th hole with the match
even. They agreed to play an extra
hole to decide the matter. The green,
was a trifle slipping and on this par.
ticular day it was rather keen. One
ball, after the approach put, came to
rest few inches above the hole. The
player whose turn came next was q
nIethOdical and deliberate person. and
as the match depended on his nexf
shot he took an unusual length in his
calculation.
One of those big fuzzy caterpillars
at this particular time happened tn
crawl upon the ball and the weight
was just sufficient to disturb fine
equilibrium of the sphere, causing if
to move and by a curious Chance If

NEW CIGARETTE Law SOME
WHAT DRASTIC.

The distinguishing fact about
the Eew cigarette law, which be-
came effective June II, is that
il can be enforced. As a sub
stitute for the clumsy and semi
comatose act under which the
minors in Kentucky have been
peacefully smoking, and dealers
have been peacefully selling them
this new bill is apt TO create a
stir. II is sharp and drastic
earring its own program Of action
and the public, as well as the
courts, are responsible for its en-
forcement.
The act provides that il shall
be unlawful for any person, firm
or corporation TO furnish any
person under the age Of Is years
with cigarettes or the "makings
The dealer is thereby included in
the first sentence and he remains
until the last. Ii is also unlaw'
full for any person under the age

violating this clause may be fine'
-, unless the court RENTS th'
penalty when the offender dis
closes the names OF the person
or place supplying him with tn
cigarettes.
The third clause is the mos
unusual in the kill, for by il th'
police, town marshal, sheriff, o
his deputy are required 20
