INTERESTING GOLF NOTES FROM THE
LOCAL CLUBS

Announcement made in these col
umns last Sunday to the effect that the
District of Columbia Golf Association
would likely award the 1915 event to
Chevy Chase and that it is almost GER
tain to change the championship tour
ney from a medal to match play one
has caused great deal OF discussion
among the golfers at the different
clubs, and Match Play VS.. Medal Play
has been the main topic of the day.
This subject was threshed out very
thoroughly at the last meeting of the
association, and it was finally decided
that medal play would furnish the best
actual test as to who was the best
player, and consequently a 72-hole
event was decided upon for that year.
Match play is, however, much sport
Ter proposition and is more popular.
and it's supporters have fought with
such determination that it has prac-
tically been decided to play at match
play for the 1915 championship.
Nearly every golfer agrees that
medal play competition is the best
test, but it is contended that medal
play takes away all the pleasure OF
the game and makes it too much like
work. In the first place, the thrill
WnlCn comes ITOHl UedllHS Soui opPS
nent is almost totally withdrawn; in
fact, you don't know what the other
fellows are doing. and about the only
satisfaction obtained is in reading
about 1t the next morning, while IN
match play you have the chance OF
beating four or five players in work
ing up to the finals, and you also know
just about who you will play If you
win and what your chances are.
Then, again, the match play event Will
allow more players to compete and
limit will not be necessary, as was the
case in last years event. when, in or
der that the entry list would not be
too bulky and hard to handle, the com
mittee was forced to limit the ellgibles
to those handicapped at fourteen
strokes and less. AS a matter of fact,
the association is very wisely expert
menting a little. with the idea of try
ing out several schemes and then def
nitely deciding upon the one which 1t
believes best meets local conditions.
Because Of the adverse weather con-
ditions Chevy Chase did not hold its
holiday event Christmas. The golf
committee expected to announce an
eighteen-hole event for that day, but
conditions were SO unfavorable that
same time that there would be moth
ing doing" on New Year either. None
of the other clubs expected to hold
events on either day, so that with the
exception of a few Individual matches
no golf was played.
There will be very little golf played
on any of the courses for the next
three or four months as most golfers

my mind he did not succeed in doing

pounds in weight and several years
younger. Simpson seemed to have
good chance of victory. but Dixie had
him guessing in the first minute and
dropped him for a long count. The
Britisher was badly shaken and had
Dixie gone after him instead of fooiing
in one round. The colored mans great

twelfth to the sixteenth round the box
ing was fairly even, but in the seven
teenth Simpson started in to win, and
with a stiff right-hander sent Dixie
clean through the ropes. This mis-
fortune took all the steam out of the
colored man, and from here to the fin

NEW YORK, January 2.-"Jack John

wreck, and he'll be in Reno shape when
he meets Willard" So says George
Munroe, one-time famous pugilist, who
recently returned from London, where
he saw a lot of johnson.
This talk Of johnson swimming in
champagne Is all a lot of bunk" con-
tinued Munroe. johnson drinks cham
pagne-but he drinks it sparingly. The
fact that he went twenty rounds
against Frank Moran and showed but
little effect of that milling ought to
convince people here that johnson is
still able to stand the gaff of a long
fight.
There's a human side to johnson
that We don't hear much about over
here. When Johnson has money he is
willing to share it for the asking. I

They came to London and they were

them enough to enable them to return

Most of those who got money from

loan. Some wanted to give johnson
notes for it But johnson refused to
take them.
your word is good enough for me,
said Johnson. Send it back when you
get Husband don't hurry about it.
II you don't get flush, forget all about
owing it to me-
Still Has Money.
johnson landed in London some
months ago with quite q bit of money.
Stories to the effect that he was bust
ed are all bunk. He had enough money
to maintain two automobiles. two
chauffeurs. secretary and live in nice
style. Furthermore, soon after his ar
rival in London he secured an engage
ment in the music halls there and drew
down quite a nice roll for his exhibt-
tions..
johnson told me about one of the
French officials asking him to enlist
for war duty. johnson said to him:
Sure, I'll fight If you give mo
100000 francs ($30,000) win, lose or
draw
"Johnson's one ambition is to be-
come great cook. Just now he is
specializing in tea biscuits Every
night he mixes up a batch, bakes them
and eats them before retiring, with
morning he is up early and back at
his biscuit-bakfng job. The last time
saw Johnson he had reached a stage
where he could mix up the batter with
out the aid of an apron, and that
pleased him about as much as a kid is
pleased when he finds his stocking full
of toys on a Christmas morning.
Il didn't notice much physical de-
terioration in Johnson. He is somewhat
heavier than he was in 1910 and, of
course, he is four years older. But the
extra weight is the kind that he can
shed through training, and the added
years do not seem to have robbed him
of much Of his speed. Certainly it has
not taken away his knowledge of the
fighting game.
johnson has a lot of confidence in
himself. but it didn't strike me as
over-conf1dence. He doesn't fear any
man. He'll fight any man if he gets his
price. He takes the bout with Willard
seriously and believe he will train for
it just as faithfully as he did for the
Jeffries bout. But he feels sure that he
will win"

Dixie Kid, known to some residents

rather a remarkable fighter; not that
he is champion. but because of his
wonderful stamina. Dixie has been
boxing since 1899 and is now thirty

he was reported to be all in, but he
came back and appeared in Paris and
London, meeting all the welter-
weights, some with success. For a time
he looked like champion, but it soon
became the old story of wine, etc,
and he was again reported all in. De-
spite this fact he has made another at
tempt to come back, appearing in a
marathon fight in London a few weeks
ago In a letter a friend tells Of the
scrap as follows:

colored welterweight, known as the

Dundee has also outpointed Shugrue in
q no-decision bout, and seems to have
Charley Whites number completely. He
gave White the worst beating the Chi
cago boy ever received, knocking him
down in the first round, and twice in
the second, and would undoubtedly
have scored a real knockout had not
the lights gone out while Charley was
on the floor. The building was in
darkness for over a half hour, and, of
course, White had time to recuperate
and stay the limit.
White Is the idol of the middle west,
and great fighter: He almost won
the title from itchie, shaded Welsh,
and, in the writer's opinion. had the
better of Shusrue in their recent fight
He has everything a fighter should
have except aggressiveness. His left
hand is a wonder; he is exceptionally
cool, and most dangerous man at all
times Look out for him!
Ritchie's retiring manner SINCE the
London fight with Welsh has been
big disappointment to his friends.
Richie really has more attributes Of
real champion than any other fighter.
Evening star., 1915-01-03

The Ritchie-white battle should not
be accepted as criterion of the merits
of the two men. Ritchie was beaten
badly without a doubt, yet he was not
without credit. Any boxer Is hit once
in a while. Ritchie happened to bump
into stunning left-hook that dazed
him for several rounds and enabled
White to pummel him numerically. yet
he stood up under the storm like a
true champion and gradually shook
off the effects of the blow and was
pumping White toward the close of
the battle. His form is almost without
flaw, q reminder of the old Joe Cans.
But he is suffering from malady CALL
ed "frenzied finance Willies mind is
too much with business. He gives
more attention to his hat stores and
new flats than he does to the boxing

But he has announced a vacation
from his business affairs and will soon

more. If he is able to get back in his
old form again it is not at all impos-
sible for him to win back his former
honor.

The proposed rearrangement of the
Washington Country Club course as
described in The Star recently has
made quite a hit with its members and
practically all Of them are in favor of
the change. Under this scheme there
will be no change in the first five holes,
but the present thirteenth will be the
sixth, the future fourteenth will be
the seventh, the fifteenth will be the
eighth and what Is now the sixteenth
will be No. 9. Coming in. the present

teams are always up in the race. al
ways club that must be feared.
Mack's motto has always been, Flight
the opposing club and leave the UNI

Philadelphia many a great ball club.
Don't think for minute that the
Mackmen accept every decision with
out a murmur. No, indeed! They let
the umpire know when they believe
he has made a mistake, but always do
it in such a way that the umpire is
forced to listen to the protest, rather
than take offenSe.
Every fan in the country has his IA
vorite player or players. There are
any number of people who always
make it a point to see the New York

the sole purpose of seeing those stars
in action. Imagine what disappoint-
ment it is to the public to attend a
game and in the very first inning see
couple of the stars put out of the con-
test. 1t Immediately robs the day OF
much of its interest.
Manager Mack Changes System.
That very feature made Manager
Mack change the system that most
teams followed in regard to the UNI
pires. He figured that any time such
thing happened the public was not
getting run for it's money, because
the star players were not in the game
He also made it apparent to his play
ers that the loss of star player in an
important game robbed the club of
much of its strength. There is also a
chance that player may draw sus-
pension of three, five or ten days any
time he is put out of the game, the
length of suspension, of course, de-
pending entirely on the gravity Of the
onense. Mack figured it out that a
club that could keep from getting in
trouble with the umpires would be able
TO constantly present it's full strength.
For years he has insisted that his
players work on that theory. AS a re-
suit he has seldom been handicapped
by loss of valuable players through
run-ins with the umpires. On the
! other hand. other clubs in big series
would get into arguments with the
umpires and invariably be weakened
by the suspension of some player much
needed, thereby playing right into
Macks hands.
That the plan followed by Mack was
| good one is proved by the attitude
now assumed by many managers or
that question. Since the managers nc
longer favor a policy of kicking or
! every close play the athletes no longer
; insist on doing so. The result-fewe1
players elected from the game, less
trouble on the field and better class
