U.S.. Tournament at Exposition

practical than the golfing powers, and
in consequence, no good tennis player
is ever missing from a tournament
because he can not afford the ex-
penses of the competition, Under
present conditions If the Western or
national championship were beld on
the Pacific Coast it might mean few
er Eastern or Middle Western en-
trants, but if a sectional qualifica-
ton test could be applied then the
champions Of the respective localities
would compose the representation,
and the event would be more nearly
national than any heretofore held. In
the case of a championship tourna-
ment on the Pacific Coast in 1915 all
the usual objections to distant
championship venue are non-eXist-
ent. Visitors from all parts of this
country and Europe will be in San
Francisco and OF golfers and golf
galleries there will be an abundance.

winter. Speed is the craze of the
grand old game these days, and, next
to right hand wallpapers, that lad is in
most demand who can slip craftily
from base to base under the heaviest
guns of the enemy.
THAT passion for right hand hit
ters, by the way, is rather diff
cult 10 explain.
Time was-and not so long ago
when four fork-hand reapers were
considered about the correct number
to mix in the batting attack, to the
bafflement of perspiring northpaWs.
That fad accounted in great meas
ure for the prestige Of the left hand
slabman, retained and groomed to
sneak in and slip the everlasting
kibosh to clubs carrying an overplua
Of left-hand hitters. Jack Pfiester
earned his sobriquet of Giant Killer
bv the devastation he wrought in the
ranks of McGraw's clan in the days
when a majority of the regulars bat
ted left handed,
TOR our part we do not understand
L the growing prejudice against
left hand hitters. Certainly a good
left hand hitter usually shows up
pretty well against dealing from
either side-witness Cobb, Welchonce,
Robertson and others
And we always were rather soft on
that step nearer first base. So many
runners get nipped in that last step,
you know.

Grant Of Big Match

Jimmy Grant, the crack bantamwelght,

Kid Herman at New Orleans. D. J..
Tortorich wired Grant yesterday terms
to meet Herman next Monday night, but
Jlmmys right hand is still in bad shape.
and he will not be able to fight until the

Grant has been after Herman for some

chance to meet the Pelican wonder II
his hand was right for a tough battle
Jimmy will probably meet Herman

BOXERS FAIL To

~HE six boxers who fought at

failed to live up to eXpecta-

The boys appeared unevenly matched,
the ringnen hardly knowing how to

In the main bout of the evening
Young Jackson, of Indianapolis,
STONED Gus Sharkey, the soldier, in
the second round of a burlesque af-
fair Jackson shot out of his corner
at the sound of the gong in the first
round and gave the Soldier a neat
laeirg for three minutes. Sharkey
however came back strong at the
st7rt Of the second session and after
raining a shower of blows at Jackson
Suddenly weakened and took a right

ranhest sort of amateurs.
Walter Monahan practically threw
away his bout with Battling Jones
when he fouled his opponent after
booking him cold in the fourth ses-

han having a slight shade, when the
fourth round opened. While the boys
were scrambling around the ring in
The fourth session Monahan let go a
right swing that caught Jones flush
on the jaw and he hit the canvas. In
stead Of waiting for Mike Saul to
start counting his opponent out, Mon

win afford an unusual oppor-
tunity for holding a golf tour
nament of international importance
in California. If one of the good
courses on the Pacific Coast can be
put in championship condition it may
become the battle-ground for one of
the greatest tournaments ever held in
this country and it matters little
whether the event be w. G. A.
championship or a u. S. G. A. cham
pionship If the best players in Amer
lea and some from abroad enter.
Recognition in golfng way has
been due California for long time,
for almost all of the leading clubs IN
California have been members of the
United States Golf Association and
the Western Golf Association for
many years there have been no Cali
fornia entrants in the Western cham
pionship except at the Denver meet
ing and not within my knowledge has
California ever been represented IN a
national championship. How Cali
fornia players would compare in such
events with golfers from the East and
the Middle West is a question, but
there is no doubt there would be a
great mutual advantage in such a
meeting. When / met Californians at
the Western championship meeting at
Denver l was particularly impressed
by their enthusiasm. They played
very well. too, and ! realized then for
the first time how much of skill ana
good fellowship is lost to the game by
the great dividing breadth of con-
unent.
TOURISTS from the East and Mid
die West who spend their win
ters in California are, with the nota-
BILE exception OF the Hunters and a
few others, not our best golfers, and
so the respective merits Of the best
players Of each locality have never
yet been determined, Proud as we
are Of our size, it Is unfortunate in
some ways that we are a country OF
such immense distances, but when
golf Is played throughout all the ter
ritory that lies between the Atlantic
and the Pacific Oceans the word re-
mote will have lost its meaning.
A truly national tournament should
be representative of the whole coun-
try. and. Furthermore, whenever con-
ditions OF courses admit the tourna-
ment should be held IN different parts
Of the country. At present, however,
time. money and convenience to golf
centers should be considered.
THERE is no doubt that in time
i some method OF defraying ex-
penses Of amateurs in tournaments,
as is done in other amateur sports,
will become the custom Most Amer
lean golf champions are young men in
school or inst beginning bustpeSs

 The door of the outer vault, which contains records and valuable papers was left open yesterday during the noon hour While the officers of the city hall were gone the intruder en- tered the building and finding every one gone, entered the large vault and, finding the inner vault closed, began his attempt to pry the door open, using cold chisel.
 He worked rapidly and had sue. ceeded in forcing the door partly open when the fancied approach of some person alarmed him and he fled.
 Later in the afternoon the fact that the door had been tempered with was discovered by officials and the door of the vault was opened and the money counted. The cash, which was more than thousand dollars was found to be intact.
