NOTES OF GOLF AND GOLFERS.

Allan Lard. Henry 6. Davis and @.
Browne-Miller played at Chevy Chase
during the past week.
Fred Mcleod believes that the pres
ent winter. SO far. has been the worst
for golf that he has seen since he came
to Washington. five years ago. Snow
falls do not please the former open
champion. as he likes to play every day
if possible.
Howard Beckett of the Washington
Golf and Country Club had a score of
81 over his own course during the past
week.
Officials of the local golf clubs do not
believe that their annual tournaments
will be Cancelled next year, as recent
declaration by officials of the United
States Golf Association appears to in
dictate The L. S. C. A, although it does
not discourage golf tournaments, is OPP
posed to any title changing hands dur
ing the period of the war and frowns
on all formal affairs The Western Golf
Association at a recent meeting reaf-
firmed its action of the present year.

JOE CHOYNSM TUTORED
JACK JOHNSON IN JAIL
Pugilist, Now III, Taught Negro
Boxer Ring Science While Both
Were Locked Up.

Joe Choynski. battling for his life
with pneumonia. has one chapter in his
life's history that has never received
the attention it deserves. An old-time
New York boxing enthusiast tells the
story in the following manner:
"A few months after the Dan Cree
don Herman Bernan affair Choynski
fioated down from Chicago to see Gal
weston, Tex. Jim Hall was there, and
they boxed for the edification Of the
sports. Hall was in bad. way physi-
caliy and Choynski went very easy with
kim Then Choynski was asked to meet
a husky dark pusson who had been
boxing with all Corners for 81 a con-
test at the Galveston Athletic Club. He
looked easy and Choynski consented.
THE fight was harder than Choynski
expected. The black was tough citi-
zen. strong as bull and with natural
ability. Choynski had to watch his
|p's and q's at various times to escape
the powerful negroes we'll meant efforts
to settle the matter with a punch, but,
finally, science told and Choynskt put
one over on the black mans chin and
that ended it. or should have. but didn't.
Instead. Sheriff Henry Thomas
stepped in the ring. notified Choynski
that he, the black pusson and all con-
cerned were under arrest, and little
later the black boxer and the white
boxer were in Jail They remained in
Jail for a month or two and. to relieve
the tedium of the days. Choynski gave
boxing lessons to the black he had
knocked out
asWhen Joe Choynski left Jail that
negro was a fairly scientific pugilist.
what science he ever displayed there
after may be ascribed to his teacher.
for the pupil Joe Choynski taught IN
jafI was the redoubtable Jack Johnson.

BONUS CLAUSE IS HELD
HURTFUL TO BASE BALL
Rewards to Players for Keeping in
Condition and Good Work
Slap at Sport.

One reads with great deal of in
terest of the modern feature that has
crept into base ball contracts, which
does not appear in very many contracts
covering the relation of employer and
which promises a bonus to a player II
he keeps in condition and does his best.
In every contract between an en-
p1oyer and employee, be the same In in
dustrial pursuits or in following a
sport. the presumption ought to be that
the employed will give the employer his
best services in all circumstances. This
implies. too. that the employee will keep
himself in as good condition as possible
to render his services, and that when
he is actively engaged in the pursuit
of those services he will do the very
best he can.
The writing into a contract of q spe-
cial clause to cover what by right
ought to exist without 1t is indeed an
implication that the employed does not
intend in the absence Of such provi-
sion to keep himself :, in .serviceable
shape and give to the employer the best
OF his efforts.
In the development of the base ball
business a good many novelties have
crept III ana a BoOu many leAtuIe CO nav o
been permitted which no other business
would allow. This bonus, which Is in
fact a sop to players, is entirely I'M
justified from any good business point
of view. The manager who gives 1t Is
foolish. and the man who takes 1t. in
the estimation Of a good many people,
Is one that ought to have 1t. There are
people who think that no man could
work for them II he did not intend. In
the absence of an agreement to that
specific effect, to do his best in all
circumstances.

MAHAN NOT TO BE OFFICER.
Foot Ball Star Satisfied to Remain

PHILADELPHIA. December 2s--The
report that Eddie Mahan. the forme
Harvard foot ball player. now a private
in the United States Marine Corps, sta
toned at the League Island navy yard,
had received an appointment to an Of
ficers' training, camp is denied by
Mahan. He stated that the statement
was news to him and was without
foundation. Mahan said he had never
applied for or received such an APP
pointment. and. In fact, did not desire
one. The former foot ball star stated
that he was perfectly satisfied with
his present position and was not con-
templating any other service.
