HOLED TEE SHOT IS
REAL FEAT IN GOLF
lIoyds Say Odds Are 10000 to
! Against Trick.
Feat Accomplished by Pierre ProaI at
Old seabrisht Course and Again
at Rumson After Lapse Of
Seventeen Years.

When Pierre a. Proal made hole
in one ut the old Seabright golf course
some seventeen years ago he felt that
he had accomplished the feat of life
time. Since then Proal, playing regu-
ldrly season after season, has made
thousands of strokes, but not until. the
other day at Rumson did he manage to
coax another tee shot into the hole.
This happened Mt the short second
hole, only mashie shot, says New
York dispatch to indianapolis Star.
Proal played hole after hole with lit
tie deliberation, but, oddly enough, he
gathered in two twos during the course
of the same round.
Every time one Is recorded the
question of odds is brought up. On
one occasion the problem was put up
to Loyds in London, the decision be-
ing that the chances were 10000 to
against the feat being accomplished.
Had Charles l.. Fletcher, who keeps
truck Of practically every round he has
ever played, made the sixteenth hole
Ia one at Seabright, nearly score of
years ago and duplicated the perform
| ance ut the second hole on the Rumson
course the other day, It would only
have required question Of minutes
to glance back over the cards to tell
how many chances at possible ones he
had had.
How many rounds of golf Proal has
hnd during the last seventeen years is
| of course purely n matter Of conjec.
| ture. The former Harvard man doesn't
| know himself. However, he plays quite
regularly and IL Is reasonable to as
sumo he has averaged couple of
rounds week; good deal more than
that in the summer. less In the Off sea-
son. So to carry the analysis further
100 rounds year for seventeen years
would make LOO rounds. Granting
that courses over which he played had
three short or possible One-shot holes,
which would be fair proposition
Proal would have had 800 chances
since he made his first one-spot when

SEES NEW GLORY FOR BOXER
Bob Dunbar Says Heavyweight Fighter
VIII Be Master Magnet After
War-Sport Revived.

The heavyweight fighter will be the
master magnet after the war, just as
he is today In this imitation sort of
domestic fighting small coterie of
promoters have been handing out. II
is the surest thing in the world that
some stupendous heavyweight battlers
will be developed by the war-big,
rawboned lads from the far places of
our country, only awaiting the oppor-
tunity to demonstrate their punch
ability, writes Bob Dunbar In a Bos-
ton paper. From millions of prlmed
young fighting men will come n band
of real, red-bloOded, tight-fisted war;
riors who will startle the country. All
the old-time nationwide enthusiasm
over boxing will burst into flame when
these lads meet for their titular bouts
all that old enthusiasm and lot more.
II will be 'grent" and Wen like It all
the better because the pot hunting,
hippOdroming tactics of today will be
swept away by the deluge Of red
blooded action.

ATTENTION PAID TO SPORTS
and Encouraged Have Been
Helpful In Training.

Some people are beginning to think
that the army is paying little too
much attention to sports, but they
are people who are not very sympa-
thetic with sports anyway.
The fact of the matter Is that so
far as the records that have come to
my attention disclose no American
army officer has permitted sports to
interfere with the regular military re-
quirements of training, or otherwise,
says u writer In Milwaukee Sentinel.
What sports have been permitted and
encouraged have been helpful to that
purpose.
OF course now that prominent base
ball players are getting into the army,
that game has attracted more atten-
ton, and there are those who think
that 1t has been given too much prOmi-
nence. They simply are worrying
about something that Is not, and some
thing that ought not to scare them.

CRICKET IS DIFFICULT GAME
Americans In War Zone Who
