VIII not have the use OF their services
| IN May, for they are now in national
service. North Hills will be minus tho
services of Eddie styles and W. J. Pyatt,
and other teams will not be able to de-
pend on players who represented them
last year
Every club in the league has lost
payers by reason of enlistment and
draft and while some have been hit
harder than Others all have suffered, as
the majority of the players who have
been playing at the top of the list are
or draft age, IT will be big season
Tor those golfers who are past the draft
age and many of these will be plavinp
the top positions for the first time This
year
Last year the various divisions were
made up as follows:
Division \ 80 Woodbury.. Overbrook
Bala and Lansdowne.
Division B Haddon, Moorestown
iiiverton and Merchantville.
Division C-Bon Air. North Hills
Stenton and West Chester.
Division D-Old York Road. Frank.
ford. Bucks County and Philmont.
Unless changes are made in the divi
slons the race for first honors will be he
tween Divisions a and D. Woodbury.
ana Bala will in all lkclihSod fight 1t
out for first honorS in their division
and as Bala has more veterans than
Woodbury. and has been less affected
by the war the chances favor the Bala
team. Woodbury., on the other hand,
was made up last year of young players
and while some of these are too young
TO be hit others have been called to the
Colors.
Frankford is n veteran outfit that
changes very little with each passing
year, and the best player it has lost is
Joe Young. But the veterans will be on
hand as usual. 1t Is rather early to
predict, but unless something unforeseen
happens, either Woodbury. or Bala will
play Frankford in the final match for
the championship.

Ngl1lgi'ID' Ftu. los
Fight fans here today are chanting a
pugilistic requiem for Jim Flynn, the
ancient Pueblo fireman. but are predict
ing a bright future for Jack Dempsey
the heavyweight from Utah. Dempsey
showed Flynn into the discard at Fort
Sheridan last night by knocking him out
before two minutes OF the first round
had passed.
Flynn was helpless before Dempseys
attack A smashing wallop to the body
directly under his left arm started the
veteran going. and a few seconds later
Dempsey had driven him. dazed and
helpless. through the ropes. With Flynn
scrambling about among the first row
spectators. Tom Jones, who was in
Flynn's corner, gave the referee the
signal to call II off.
The Pueblo scrapper was pot In con-
dition, some critics even declaring he
had applied rouge TO his face to eradi-
cate the marks of age.
Dempsey's victory wipes out the stain
of a knockout Flynn scored on him
year ago. Flynn's defeat is believed to
mark his passing from the ranks of
formidable heavyweight scrappers.

There is the usual agitation against
the West Side Tennis club at Forrest

West Side Club will bid again.
There is to he an election of officers,
and while a calm meeting is predicted
by most tennis leaders, some expect to
see determined effort made to put in
dependent candidates in the saddle in
place of some of those commended by
the nominating committee.

Watson's shooting was the best Of
