o you remember the young fellow
they used to call The Upton
IL SIasher?'' His name was Benny
Yanger and he was an Italian lad from
the Chicago south side who could battle
like a tiger.
Benny got to be a great card around
ChicagO-one OF the best we ever had,
in fact, and for two very excellent rea-
sons. He was at once the best liked
and the most cordially hated fighter in
the business Half OF the crowd went
TO see him kick the other fellow and
half went there on the long chance that
he would be beaten TO pulp
When a man is disliked he usually is
a good card His enemies are there 10
see his defeat. They wouldn't miss II
for anything.
It is doubtful If we ever had knock
out in Chicago that created the same
amount Of discussion and at the same
time raised so much bitter feeling as
the night at TattersalPs. on 18th street,
back in 1900, when Yanger got knock

a six round battle

good golfers use a low tee. Take a

get a level stance with your feet on
a level with the ball, and place your
hand gently on top. so the sand viii
be highest under the palm Place the
ball on it firmly enough to hold it.
Take a firm grip on the driver, with
your left hand, one and one-half inches
from the top. The grip should be more
in the fingers than in the palm Of the
hand. with the fore and center fingers
and the thumb around the club doing
most Of the work Do not grip so that
II strains the muscles, but Just so you
have complete control Of the club.
Then place your right hand as close
as possible to the left but not gripping
as tight with the right Have your
hands on the club so that the '-N''
formed by the thumb and the first
finger Of each hand are nearly on a
straight line on the top Of the club and
in line with the center Of your head.
Practice Swinging Driver
Practice swinging the driver from
the wrists The wrists must be supple
in any golf shot, keeping absolute
control Of the club with the left hand.
Take your stance so that your right
toe, left toe and the hole viii be in a
straight line and address the ball

IL PASO viii not have league base
ball this week. The original
IL schedule called for the Mackmen
TO come back to play the Farmers, but
when Douglas dropped out Of the league,
through failure to pay its players
and TO keep its league obligations this
left five teams. Las Cruces had been
keeping up to the mark but did not
have the required funds to strengthen
a couple OF positions which were. show
ing weakness. while Bill Hurley was
anxious TO get back to the farm With
wheat selling for S1.6O a bUshel, the
farm beats baseball this year
Temporarily. at least, Las Cruces viii
be dropped If some other town takes
over the Douglas franchise and players,
it is not unlikely that the circuit VIII
go back to six clubs. for the league is
anxious TO play fair with the little city
up the valley.
Hurley's men viii be held together
here this week. If 1t is decided to con-
tinue with four clubs, practically all the
men now with the Farmers viii find
jobs with the other clubs, for Hurley
has a fine aggregation Of youngsters
