The Shift Again.

II YOU have followed this far you
will notice that for the last few years
most of the glory had been built
around Travers and Ouimet Evans
was beginning 10 lose his place. His
following was falling away, driven
back by his many failures TO make
good in the big test. Observe the sit
uation to-day 0uimet's name is
erased from Che list of amateurs. For
the time being. at least. his tourna-
ment days are over Travers, tied
down by business interests. has played
little golf and his game has fallen off.
And Chick Evans is Open Champion
the top man of the Trio. where he
had for so many wears been the last
of the three OF the three the future
of Evans IN golf is the more alluring
the brightest-where a year ago his
case was given up by many as a hope
less one For it may be-though all
golfers hope not-that Ouimet may not
be readmitted 10 the amateur fold;
and il may be that business will cut
in upon Traverss old effectiveness and
block his way 10 the heights. But with
Evans the way lies open. There isn't
any barrier to his amateur high road
And he still has the time for enough
tournament golf and for enough prac-
tice 70 hold his game with the winning
grin

Concerning the Yankees.

The Red Sox proved last that fine pitching plus
strong fielding defence enough beat rugged
attack that led by Cobb Crawford and Veach
all tearing the cover oil the ball Bill Donovans Yam
KEGS Offering about the proof this season They
not leading the league attack by several noches
but they getting the best pitching the game
Of this superb pitching both nheld and are help
20 roll back any rival attack At the start of the
son the Yankees via the dope awarded fourth place
well back of the Tigers, White Sox and Red Sox To-day
they are the most feared and the formidable club
IN the league, despite harder luck than any other club
has faced And club that stand up under such ad
verse fortune INIT very likely break later on when
the harder test comes on the next western trip.

The In and Down.

Yet so varied have been the fortunes
of these three that no one can say
what the next turn will be. II Evans
should win at Marion he would hold
the throne room with undisputed sway.
But as all three have come forward at
times when they were not expected
to shine with any brilliant glow there
Is no way Of telling what the years
ahead may hold.
Ouimet is now "a: Evans is 27;
Travers is 2S. Under the proper con-
ditions they should have at least 20
years OF winning golf left. and in that
20 years enough episodes and rival in
tcrcsts should develop TO make up
mary volumes. For John Ball won d Brit
ish championship at so: Hilton tri-
umphed when he was we'll above 40.
and Travers won both the American
and British amateur titles we'll beyond
10. SO these three should have only
begun their great rivalry-one that
might equal in 20 years. from the view

Bv GRANTLAND RICE.

The many quaint turns Of fortune
that have followed the careers OF
Americas great golfng triumvir-
Travers, Evans and Ouimet-or Jerry
Chick and Francis, are more than pass
ing rich with interest. Their ups and
downs form the star chapter in the
golf history of the United States.
First Travers was king. In 1913 he
won the amateur championship for the
fourth time, and to achieve this destiny
he beat Evans at Chicago and Oumet
at Garden City.
Two weeks later at Brookline Out
met reached the peak by winning the
Opening Championship - the frst
American amateur TO reach this height.
After that Ouimet beat Travers three
times in succession twice in the Les
lie Cup matches at Brookline and Bal
tusrol. and again at Ekwanok, in the
championship final.

Lightweight Champion to
Risk His Title on
Labor Day.
BY W. o. MGEEHAN.

Once upon time the excitement
over contest for the lightweight
championship was almost as intense as
u was over a battle for the heavy
weight championship. When Bathing
Nelson and Joe Cans held their hrot
contest for this once popular title stu
dents of the Queensberry art came from
points as far distant as Patagonia anu
Zamboanga to mobilize in the Nevada
desert near the rlngside.
Freddie Welsh, of Pontypridd, Wales
has held that title now for over TWO
wears. He has fought about a hundred
times since he acquired the crown, DuD
tho interest in these battles has been
mild. This is probably because tns
battles in which Frederick has INDUCED
since the acquisition Of the title nave
been mild. Physicians have been send
ing patients who were sufferers from
acute insomnia to see Freddie welsh
box. and a number of cures have been
reported
rrederick's naturally sweet disposl-
ton has been embittered by the iacK
Of interest in his reign as the llght-
weight king But Frederick has MN
self 10 blame. After few bouts u
became apparent that IT would be I'M
POSSIBLE fer Welsh TO lose that title IN
ten-round, no-decision bout. Welsh
could box as languldly as he pleased
and be outpointed as many times as ne
cared TO be. without once jeopardizing
ne title. TIE only chance for him
becoming an "ex" was TO be knocked
The multitude soon learned this.
They discovered that Frederick's s one
idea was 10 gather at the box oitce
with the least possible eXertion. ne
.ohtweioht title to him was something
TO be capitalized. nothing else. HIS
determination to cash on II was a.
rectly responsible for its depreciation
in value.
II became clearer and clearer that
the multitude had no regard Tor a
lightweight champion who defended the
title only passively They wanted an
ideal lightweight champion, a comDlna-
tion of Corbett. McGovern and Cans.
Though he was the title holder, Welsn
soon became the least popular of the
ightweights The fact that he drew
AZ all was due to the fact that the
multitude went in the hope OF seeing
one of the contenders put one over.
Joe Cans also had his troubles when
ne was lightweight champion, but the
troubles Of Cans came from a different
reason. The 'Cld Master was so
good that ne could not get opponents
unless there was an agreement Tor
him to let the opponent stay. welsh 5
troubles come from a directly opposite
reason.
After two years of playing the game
safe Welsh seems 20 have come TO the
conclusion that he has reached the end
of his stallng powers. He has agreed
