CPORT YARN0
 ~ BY THE VETERAN Ky

' INCOME tax figures show that A Uncle Sam has collected quite a neat little wad of kale from the boxing fraternity. Bennie Leonard Jack Dempsey, Jess Willard and others all contributed liberalIy not alone on what they earned but also on such real estate and other prop erty as they possess and which is taxable. Unlike most of the pugiI- ists of the past the boxers of the present, as a class, hang on to their earnings, which is as it should be. The old-timers were in the main a only. noteworthy exception being Tom Sharkey, who never parted with a nickel without giving the matter careful considera ton.
 Jack Dempsey, the great Non pareil,' who was one of the best middleweights in the annals of the ring and who held the title of his class, died broke. Jack McAuliffe parted with most of his earnings by playing the ponies. Bob F'itzsim- mons had a little farm but some years before his death admitted that he was near the end of his rope. John L. Sullivan made over a mil lion in the ring and on the stage, but had little left when he died. Jeffries is in no need of benefit, but belongs to the modern school of boxers, as does Tommy Burns, who has a flourishing clothing business and much real estate in Calgary.
 Poor Little Terry McGovern made a fortune in the Diff game, but spent it as soon AS he got it, and lost his physical and mental vigor in the spending. A few years before his death, fearing that his mind was failing, he applied for admission to Long Island hospital for the in sane. McGoTern's successor as feath- erweight champion, Young Corbett, was a prominent figure on the Great White Way while his money lasted, but later he had to make a living by teaching the game in which he once excelled. George Me Fadden, George Dawson, Joe Choyn- ski and, a member of other once prominent boxers also took to teach ing the manly art after their ring days were over. Kid Mccoy was one of the greatest spenders of them all but he has managed to keep his head we'll above water and at latest reports was living in a nifty little cottage on the Riviera, in France.
 The Manchester team is the pres ent holder of the Budd challenge cup which, was presented to the State as sociation five seasons ago by Dr. Budd of New Haven as the official emblem of the State. The New Haven team won it the first season it was put up. Nothing pleased pr. Budd better than to see his own city team win it on the first occasion.
 Charlie Drinkwater of the Bridge port City team has played in P final ties. Some record and one of these was the final of the National cup competition the first season it ws' competed for. He assisted the BroCS- lyn team on that occasion and his team won the championship.

Plan To Bring Golf
 Clubs Closer To US.
 c. A. Has Been Set Aside

all been arranged up to fall. Be- tween the two might be attempted, by way of experiment, a two-day tournament such as proved popular in Boston before the war. It is al ways difficult to attempt a new line of cleavage but right here is a bully chance for several of the newer smaller clubs to acquaint outsiders with their courses at small expense. The objection always advanced by such clubs is that they could not care for players over night. For the one day tournaments there is no over night. It might be urged that a single days stay would not permit of prac tice rounds That objection might hold for remote courses, but otherwise it would be as cheap and probably more convenient to make a prelimin- ary trip for if strangers didn't like the stretch, they need not enter for the one-day affair. If they listed themselves and then feel out, they would lose their entry fee, and at the same time gain the name of lacking sportsmanship. The strange thing is that women players who have held one-day tournaments every week on the average for a decade haven't talked the men folk in the plan long ago.
 Now that the bone dry law is only about two months away and the re- newal of the Tri-State cup match not much further off, it is timely to re- mark New Workers have always de- clared John Barleycorn cost them the Lesley trophy at Brookline, in the fall of 1916. Of course, it was their own fault or rather that of two or three of their number who didn't sknow when to say mo- Even if the tap rooms continue to flourish, it is doubtful if another such lapse would be permitted.
 Several weeks ago were mentioned herein two almost incredible instances in which playing conditions were changed during the progress of a con- test. One was in reducing the handi- cap of a visiting player in the midst of a tournament; the other the shift ing of cup locations on the greens during a big fixture. The best in stance of such mismanagement, how ever, developed near Chicago, seven years ago while the Olympic cup was in competition as the curtain raiser for the national amateur champion ship. In the middle CT the match, the sand traps were ra:-sd, one of the most criminal violations imaginable, as it smoothed the way for the later competitors. The break practically ended all interest in the result Pro- fuse apologies followed that did not perceptibly smooth the wrinkles After that date the Olympic contest was linked to the western instead of the national championship, without much regret on the part Of customers

When some suspicious fans were heard to remark that it was custom ary for champion wrestlers to battle away for an indefinite time on the mat without a fall being secured and that one of the men could secure a fall if he chose, Promoter Jack Cur ley of New York introduced a novel stunt of advertising that unless a fall was secured in his big bouts the fans would receive their money back. This plan made a big hit in New York and proved a great benefit to the wrestling game and a scheme which seemed to kill off all suspicion that the wrest- lers were not working on the level. The plan was favorably commented on by all of the New York sport writ CTS and, in fact, by writers all over the country.
 Now Manager Dick Curley of the New Haven Arena is going to try the same stunt on next Monday night, when Worlds Champion Wladek Zbyszko and Renato Gardini, the Italian champion meet in their return match. While the match is two out of three falls to finish, if neither of the men secure a, fall the fans will receive their money back and the bout will be called mo contest This is the announcement made by Man ager Curley.

Anyway, That is Impression Plays and Fans Have Others New and Comment of Old Sport.

Now that the world is slow in com ing out of turmoil it is pertinent to in u1Iire what has become of the all important scheme to bring the United States Golf association into closer re- lations with all the state and section al organizations. It was three years ago last January, that the plan was broached at the annual national meeting in Chicago. That was year before the Ouinet case was set tied and the vexed question of anna teurism monopolized attention. It was the promise of such improved re lations that caused the tabling of the proposed amendment to the constitu- tion giving allied as well as associate clubs a vote at the annual gather ing.
 In his speech urging the tabling of the amendment, President Woodward said that since the proposed amend ment had been drawn by the eXecu- tive com Nittee, the more important movement had been started to bring together all clubs and associations for betterent of the sport. In short, through the coraIling of such section- al associations, all the constituent clubs could be rounded up. taking in
 
 only small, new organizations remain unattached. It might be possible to hook up with the California asso- citation, but the western would prove a mighty refractory steer. Between war and amateurisn, everything else had to be shelved, but now that life is becoming normal again, the rank and file of golfers are insistent to learn the details of the plan that Frank Woodward was so cock sure over.
 Truth to tell they never shared his confidence, the details vouchsafed be- ing too meager to inspire hope in so complicated problem. What brings the matter up just now is the wall from the Pacific slope over the strad dle in dates between the national and western open and amateur champion ships of six and eight weeks, respec- lively, which means that far western professionals and amateurs intending to compete must make two trips in- stead of one, calling for about 5000 extra miles travel What with rail road fares a third higher war taxes etc, coast players will stay at home A Juno date for the national open was a monumental blunder that should not be tolerated again.
 Although little progress has yet been made toward launching the one day tournament discussed at the an- nual meeting of the National asso- citation, the secretary has received numerous inquiries from individual players who lack time for three-day competitions. The matter is soon to be pushed. now that the old line

w E'sTLING every night for three
 w months with. layoffs only on Sundays is a gigantic and strenuous task and an impossibility to many, but that is just what w1adek Zbyszko, the Polish wrestler, has done. Since the fourth of February he hos not been idle a single night, Sundays ex- \ cluded. He has during that period crossed the continent on three differ ent occasions and for the next three weeks will appear before clubs in the East.
 Clean living, plenty Of sleep with a little play makes up my day. said the wrestler yesterday to a core suondent of The Times-Farmer in New York. "Of course. I'm getting tired, but so long as there is de- mand for my services I will go through with all maches that my manager, Jack Curley, arranges for me. I haven't been given a, night to myself for more than three months"
 Since February 4 the wrestler has cleaned up more than 0,00O from matches in which he has appeared. Most of this money he has made in the AfiddIewest where the sport is exceedingly far more popular than it

 Last night down at The Bronx, New York, W1adek Zbyszko deefated Ivan Inlow in an exciting match. Zyb pinned his opponent to the mat with had forced the Pole to use every trick in his repertoire. The attendance was large and netted about S4,O00, most of which went to the Bronx EIks' fund for which the match was staged. Jack Curley and George Bothner pro- noted the affair.

growing sense of duty to humanity and
less selfish spirit upon the part OF the
people of America. Our first war was
for liberty for ourselves. and in freeing
ourselves from tyranny we started a
movement in the world which has gone
on steadily throughout the nineteenth
century.
''The war between the states was
actuated BY ideals of liberty on both
sides. differing ideals, it is true, but stun
they both had liberty as the basis. The
north fought not merely for union. but
to make free a great mass OF human
beings, and they fought not for mere
selfish reasons, but for that ideal OF hu-
man right and human freedom which is
the only basis of just war.
Our war with Spain was even more
unselfish and based even more on hu-
man justice. The war with Spain
showed the world and showed our own
citizens that the United States con-
sidered herself part of the world,
part of humanity and a believer in the
brotherhood of man.
