We inquired about DIR. Berthold Baer, the
rapidly becoming well known mortuary es-
sayist, and have received two lively replies
One asserts tersely that when he lived in
Philadelphia the Doc was a scream. The
other is more cruel to all concerned. We
are told, by our friendly client James D.
Law:
In many ways he resembled yourself
far as l can judge, never having seen
you,
Doctor Baer, who is now putting New
York in an uproar by his little essays in
honor of a Manhattan undertaken, edited a
sprightly little German paper in this town
a dozen years ago. It was called "Die
Glocke" (The BelD, and carried on it's front
cover picture of the Liberty Bell. But we
notice letter the Doc printed to one of
his subscribers who had signed himself evil
liam s." "Why," grieved the Doc. in
good German, edo you call yourself WI
liam? Doesn't Wilhelm sound good enough
Wonderful how quickly people get American
lied"
On learning that the Doc is German we
understand more clearly his enthusiasm for
funerals. For certainly Germany has been
the cause Of more of them in the last few
years than any nation ever was before.

BARNES. HOLDS
TITLE WESTERN
GOLF CHAMPION
Young Player From Detroit Shows
Well by Pushing the Champion
Hard All the Way.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 26.-Lead-
ing in every round Of one of the
most brilliant tournaments in the
history of the Western Golf assoc
citation, Jim Barnes, Sunset Hill
club of st. Louis, yesterday re-
tanned the western open champion
ship, finishing with a total of 283
oTer the $3.50 yards course of the
Mayfield Country club.
This was the same Total he scor-
ed in 1917 when he won at the
Westmoreland Country club. May
field normally is a harder couf9e
than Westmoreland, but under theN
present arid conditions the experts
were able to get great distance
from the tees, this simplifying
their second shots.
The greens also held the ball
when pitches were made and this
accounts for the low scoring. As
evidence of this it may be cited
that Mike Brady and Walter Hagen
tied for first place in the national
open championship at Brae Burn
with totals of 301.
a >
from the Detroit country club,
showed sterling ability by pushing
the champion hard, finishing sec
ond with a total of 287.
Josk Hutchinson of Glen View,
who tied for 26th place on the OPP
ening day, battled with his usual
determination, equaling the record
for the course with a So in thsS
morning and following with 7Q-z3n
the second round.
Otto Hackbarth Of Cincinnati,
state champion, and Little Freddie
Mcleod of Washington, both for
mer Chicago professionals, tied at
2SS, while Bob Macdonald, with
two sterling rounds of 70 and 73,
landed in fifth place.
Walter Hagen, national and Met
ropolitan champion, wrecked his
chance for a trinity Of titles by a
bad start in the morning. He
splotched his card with a six at the
start by slicing to the long grass
and then getting trapped on his
! second shot. At the second hole
he was trapped near the green and
took 5. The gallery looked for i'm
provement, but he continued to
make mistakes and while he made
few good recOveries, he took 38
to reach the turn and was then
seven strokes behind big jim
/ Barnes.
This was enough to put Hagen
out of the running, but mean
while Diegel, who was paired with
him, was gathering pars and a few
brides. Going out in "a and home
in 35, he scored the second So Of
the day and became a champion
ship possibility.
At the 54th hole the leaders
were: Barnes, 283; Diebel, 2s6;
Hutchinson, 2S7; Mcleod, 2SS; o.
Hackbarth, 288; Macdonald, 29l;
Hagen, 291; Hampton, 292.

MIKE O'DOWD is
BACK WITH JOLT
THATDOES WORK
Looks As II the Middleweight
Champ Developed His Kick
in Argonne Fighting.

New York, July est is not uu-
usual for a fellow to start out
fighting without much of a punch
and then suddenly develop a real
wallop. Benny Leonard, the light
weight champion, began his boxing
career wholly punchless. but over
night he found the secret of the X
o., and there is no better smasheT
in the ring today.
Now it looks as if Mike O'Dowd
the middleweight champion, who
was not considered much of a
fighter before he went to war, had
discovered a real kick over there
in the Argonne. In his first two
engagements since his return
Michael has stopped both of his
opponents.
He licked Al Mccoy, his preda-
cessor in the championship chair
recently and followed this up by
fattening one Young Fisher. The
caliber of his opponents may not
exceed %, but none the less a
knockout is a knockout And it is
sometimes more difficult to stop a
DUP tnan a good man.
1t may be that the development
of Michael's punch really goes back
to the night he stopped Al Mccoy
and won his title over in Brooklyn.
Mike marched away to war before
he had a chance to show whether
that affair was f1uke or some of
the other things people said about
it, but now that he is back at work
again he resumes the knockout
stuff right away.
A lot of folks have suspected
that Mccoy did a Kellerman on
that historic occasion across the
bridge, and one of the strongest
reasons advanced for the suspicion
was the fact that O'Dowd had
never before produced much of a
punch in these parts.
In the light of his new accomp-
lishments it may be that they have
been doing Mike an injustice by
casting asparagus at his victory /;
it may be that his wallop came to
him from the f1stic gods, if such
there be, between suns, as Leon
ards poke came to him.
In fact, when you make a close
study of Mikes record before the
Mccoy fight you find it speckled
with enough X. O.s to indicate that
the Gopher state terrier was COM
ing.
When Young Corbett beat Terry
McGovern back in 1901 everybody
was utterly fabbergasted. Yet
that same year, before he beat Nc
overn, the Denver man had whip
ped Joe Bernstein, Eddie Santry,
Oscar Gardner, Kid Broad and
George Dixon. Few people both
cred to look him up before the Nc
Govern meeting. After considering
his record they were not so greatly
astonished.
O'Dowd is only "a years old right
now. He was about % when he
beat Mccoy. 1t stands to reason
that he had a chance to improve
over the days when the Brooklyn
and Manhattan fans were watching
him as a heavy welter against
Terry Mitchell, Willie Adams, Ted
(Kid) Lewis and others.

JOHNNY KILBANE
WILL RETIRE SOON
FROM FISTIC GAME

Johnny Kilbane, worlds feath-
erweight champion, last night was
given a testimonial dinner at the
Adelphia hotel by Cody brennan
of the Sun Shipbuilding company.
When called upon to speak by
Toastmaster Jimmy Doughertyr
Kilbane was presented with a pair
of cuff links by Frank Poth.
81 have about reached the time
when I am ready to step down, u
said Ktlbane. "and 1 don't want to
leave the ring without giving the
world a chance to see my title
taken from me. l am ready and
willing to defend it as 1 have in the
past wherever and whenever
have been called upon to do so.
II have given my best. have
fought often in this city where
American boxing has gained its
feet and its ability to walk upright
and 1 have fought always the same
on the level.
"In leaving the boxing world
there is but one desire 1 have up
ipermost in my heart and that is a
longing that Americans may see
the immense value of boxing to the
nation as a whole. 1 have served
26 months with the army. I have
seen the enormous value that box
ing can bring to provide a national
array of manhood able and willing
to meet all emergencies, knowing
how to fight and not shrinking
from it's duty.
II hope for a world wide boxing
organization, a supreme body that
will rule boxing and bring it to
that stage where it will be the
greatest Of sports and hope to see
It soon. Boxing needs just such a
ruling body"
Concluding his address KiIbane
referred to the RECEIPT death Of his
daughter and tears/ filled his eyes.

SOX VICTORS in
GAME MARRIED BY
POOR BASEBALL
ST. Louis Browns are Victims I'm 9
to 4 Contest in Which Claude
Williams is Hurt

Chicago, July z6.-In a contest
marked by bad baseball on each
side, the White Sox gained another
victory over the St. Louis Browns
yesterday at Comiskey park. Bar
ring the bad stun that took place, II
might have been a close and excit-
ing battle, but the bad stuff let q
lot Of ta1lies into the box score that
didn't belong there, the final count
being to 4.
If a stranger had watched the
game. he might have wondered how
IL could be possibel in the race Tor
a major league pennant. But the
stranger naturally would have
thought the So and Browns did
those things every day. Perhaps
each side did earn a couple Of runs
in regular fashion but all the rest
of them were mixed up with pad
pitching, some weird fielding, and
some foolish base running.
One pitcher was disabled and had
to retire, another apparently took
sick or was overcome with the heat
and had to leave, and three others
were mauled and battered about in
a threatening manner.
It was Claude Williams. one OF
Gleason's two aces, who was dis
abled, and it looked as if he was
lucky he wasn't taken to the hos
pital. It happened in the second in
ming when Hank SEVERED, VINO
swats the ball about as hard as any
of them, drove a liner right at
Claude's head. Claude was struck
close to the temple, but it looked as
If he got his hand up in time to
break the force Of the blow and
save his life.
Anyway, after about three min
utes he was able to walk off the field
and even hurled a couple of balls to
see If he felt good enough to con-
tfnue the game. It was thought best
TO let him off. The score:

VAUGHN IN TRIM,
TWIRLS CUBS TO
Win over CARDS
Mitchells Play Alright Ball in the
Field and One Run is Suffi-
cient to Cop.

st. Louis, July 26.-Big Jim
Vaughn, star southpaw or the Cubs,
hurled one of his best games of
the year yesterday, beating the
Cardinals in the first of a series
by 1 to and allowing only two
hits. The big fellow was never in
much danger after his mates gave
him a one run lead in the first
frame.
Opposed to the Cubs was Bill
Doak, who himself was in pretty
fine fettle. Doak was touched for
only five hits, one of these in the
firsts inning linked with a pass, a
fiel6er's choice that didn't work,
and a couple of outs. Had the field
er's choice play been successful it
is very possible that in view of
what happened the two teams
might have battIed into darkness
without either being able to gather
a tally.
Flack was responsible for the
lone run of the day. He opened
the game with a single to center
and advanced when HoIlocher drew
pass Magee sacrificed and the
bases were filled when Miller's at
tempt to force Flack at third
failed. Merkle hit into a double
play and while this was going on
Flack eased over the counter
The first of the two hits made off
Vaughn happened in the Cardinals
home half Heathcote beat out a
clOu roller IN the nifchar with one
dead. Stock then famed and
Heathcote completed the inning
by being nipped in an attempted
steal of second Stock turned in
