Clarence Richardson has resigned
his position as engineer at the power
house, and will leave the first of next
week with his family, for Muscatine,
Iowa, where they will make their fut-
ure home. Clarence has been an en-
ployee at the Power house in this city
for the past ten years or more-in
fact ever since the plant was installed,
and no doubt will be missed by the
power house force. We regret to see
Clarence and his family leave our
midst, but wish them success in their
new location.

Modern business methods were highly

son, manager of st. Nicholas A. c., aided
the spectators in their effort to spend an
enjoyable evening and they gazed upon
two knockouts which bordered on the sensa-
tional Ted Lewis f1attened Albert Badoud

of Tommy Tuohey. And there was rea-

his opponent the quickest in the last three
bouts. That bonus will consist of 500 per-
fectly good dollars so go to it,"
frankie Bruins and frankie Brown were
first to appear, but there was nothing doing
The battle lasted ten rounds. with Burns
the winner. JoeN yelling and Tommy
Tuohey were next. Joe needed the money
and started after his man from the start.
In the third he had Tommy flying signals
of distress, but ne weathered the storm In
the sixth, however, Joe connected with
Tuohey's jaw and Tommy was torpedoed.
He arose from the mat before the count of
ten, but his seconds tossed in the sponge.
This gave yelling the edge for the $500,
but Ted Lewis was yet to come
Ted met Badoud, the Frenchman who
prefers fighting for money rather than en-
list as soldier. The foreigner kissed the
canvas two minutes and forty-five seconds
after the bout started and Lewis grabbed
the bonus. Ted also claims the welter-
weight championship of the world by virtue
of his victory. Let him have it. Perhaps
he deserves it.
When Tuohey was knocked out last night
he lost good job and some money at

Jack Hanlon was on the phone early this
morning with the following:
Tuohey has been scratched for my show
next Monday night. a guy who can't last
ten rounds with yelling has no chance to
appear at the Olympia against Jackson.
He has been canned, fired and everything
else, and Terry McGovern will take his
place Terry will give Jackson a better
battle anyway. The rest of the show will
be the same"

MAJORITY OF PHILADELPHIA
CLUBS HAVE ARRANGED EVENTS
TO CELEBRATE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY
Scotch Foursomes, Best Ball Matches, Play
Against Par and Regulation Medal Play Handi-
CAPS Will Feature Days Competitions
BY PETER PUTTER

TABOR DAY will be busy one for the
II Philadelphia golfers, for nearly every
one of the thrty-one clubs affiliated with
the Golf Association of Philadelphia has
something or other on the program for that
day Those who have not anything schcd-
uled will be busy caring for the golfers Ihe
Philadelphia Cricket club has not had
single event scheduled for this season nut
the golfers there promise to be out in force
on Monday. The Merton Cricket and tn,
Philadelphia Country clubs have nothing on
the schedule, and this is true of the Sea-
view and the Pine Valley clubs. But the
others, with almost no exception, nave
something on the card for either the morn
ing or the afternoon.
The mixed or Scotch foursOme is popu-
lar event for most of the clubs. and thes.
will be played at Lansdowne, st. Davids and
Merchantville. Two or three others had
this event on the program, but owing TO the
fact that so many of the women players ar"
still out of town. they have postponed these
events until later in the fall. While every
club has sent its quota to the front either
through enlistment or draft, the members
believe there is no harm in carrying out the
regular program, particularly as the bulk
of the members are still past the cOnscrip-
tive age.
In the Scotch foursomes the two players
are on each team and the men and women
players alternate in hitting the ball. Most
of the clubs are using the selective
drive This makes it more interesting all
around, as both partners drive from each
and every tee. After the drive is selected
the alternate stroke play follows until the
ball is holed out
At Philmont the feature on Monday will
be the qualification for the Treasurer's Cup.
The players will qualify at eighteen holes
and the match play rounds will be played
each Saturday during September with
final round of thirty.six holes. At Lans-
downe there will be a match play against
par for the Secretary's Cup. Lansdowne
has had several secretaries, but the present
incumbent is the only that has ever
put up cup for play and big field is
expected to play for the trophy.
There are several best ball four ball
matches. Whitemarsh and Stenton featuring
this interesting event which is rapidly
growing in popularity with the golfers of
this city.
Every club without exception will have
a big dance Monday night and not few
will have dancing on the greensward and
the tennis courts.
The Huntingdon Valley Country Club for
at this time of the year there is usually an
open golf tournament on the carpet. But
the members of the club viii be cut in
numbers, as the fall championship is sched-
uled for next Saturday and the members
are anxious to get into shape ror that event.
Here is brand-new reason for the
calling off of the national amateur tourna-
ment as advanced by Follow Through:
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1917-09-01

zone of our pittsburgh friends happened
along yesterday and before we had finished
talking to him we discovered Just WHY the
United States Golf Association gave IN
the plan to hold patriotic tournament
at Oakmont during the week originally set
apart for the national amateur champion-
ship. incidentally, the explanation shows
pretty clearly that those who have been
critczng the L. $. G.. y. so fervdly for
its action in cancelng the tournament didn't
know what they were talking about
According to our Pittsburgh friend, II
was the Oakmont Country Club itself that
found it virtually impossible to held the
tourney, and he is under the impression
that word to that effect was sent to the
L. 5. G. A. officials 1t seems that a mill
tary camp of some sort was established a.
the very gates of the Oakmont club, that the
officers domiciled therein had been invited
to use the course, and that there was a
strong probability that parts of the links
might have to be given over to the soldiers
In view of these facts, the Oakmont off,
cials decided that it would be impractica BILE
to hold big golf tournament and asked to
be relieved of their implied obligation to the
L. S. q. A. As the officials of the national
association were none too anxious to hold
the tourney anyway, it was not hard to
grant Oakmont's request
That Is the explanation which our Pitts
burgh friend impaired to us, and we have
no reason to doubt his veracity. The action
of the U. S. G. A, met with such universal
commendation that its officers probably did
not feel it necessary to announce that Oak
mont had taken the first step in the aban-
donment of the tournament, but because of
the unjustified criticism which they have re-
celNed from one or two sources we think
that in fairness to them the exact situation
ought to be understood"
