LEWIS OUTBOXEs RITCHIE,
Willie Failed to Follow Up Advan.
tage Gained at Start.

NEW YORK, December 29.-Ted (Kid)
Lewis of England outfought Willie
Ritchie of San Francisco in every
round, except one, of their ten-round
bout at Madison Square Garden last
night.
Richie was the aggressor at the out
set of every round, but failed to follow
up his advantage with force or clever
ness sufficiently to mark him as the
master of the Englishman. Only in the
third round did Ritchie have anything
like an even break with his opponent.
Ritchie was willing all of the way
showing pluck, and at the end of the
bout he appeared to have lost little of
his speed. Ritchie's best blow was a
left jab to the face, but Lewis used left
and right hooks at will, and his fast
footwork made 1t difficult for the Cali
fornian to land an effective blow.
Lewis most effective attack was
short left arm jolt to the head, which
Ritchie seemed unable to evade and
suffered as a consequence. Lewis was
unmarked at the conclusion of the bout.
but Ritchie besides having a cut over
his right eye bore other evidences of
the losing end of fast encounter.
Both Lewis and Ritchie apparently
have outgrown the lightweight class.
Lewis weighed in at 1894 and Ritchie
at 14334.

the excerpt from the report:
Mr. Camps devotion to foot ball and
his services to all lovers of the game can
scarcely be overestimated. Always a
gentleman and a sportsman of the high
est type, his influence has invariably been
|eXerted on the side Of clean foot ball

Break Simple Rules.

Most of the shots missed in golf are
not missed through wrong grip or a
bad stance or from other causes that
we deem so important and over which
we spend SO much time. Most of the
shots missed by duffer and star alike
are missed through breaking one of
the few simple rules of the game
through moving the head or looking up: !:
through pressing, or through swaying
the body at the wrong part of the
swing.
In other words. most of these faults
so commonly found are mental faults
not physical ones. They come from
nervousness. overeagerness. lack of
confidence or some other condition of
the mind. But these faults seem to be
missing in Vardon's makeup. He isn't

Leader in Three Details

Vardon in the front rank-the leader of
them all. I will enumerate them in or

any golfer alive, the result of being
born into perfect swing.
3 He has wonderful temperament
for the game, an even. steady poise
that is never ruffied or upset, no mat
ter how badly the break goes against
him. He has learned the rare art Of
tkirg the game just it comes. with
never a complaint
3. He has had the advantage of keen
competition over the most wonderful
courses in the world, an advantage no
American golfer possesses. and, un-
like most professionals. he practices at
every chance. Vardon will work for
hours with one club, not so much to
improve his play-which could hardly
