Cyril Walker the former professional
of the Shackamaxon Club, has just re-
turned from Pinehurst, where he spent
three very pleasant weeks playing golf.
He played twelve rounds over the
second and third championship courses
and did each round in seventy-three or
better In one of his rounds he estab-
lished new record of seventy for the
No. 2 course.
During his stay Walker played in two
four-ball matches at Southern Pines
with George McLane, the Great Neck
professional, as a partner, against En-
met French, the local professional, and
George Fotheringham, open champion
of South Africa. They were beaten
in both of these matches.
The Shackamaxon Country Club will
tender Walker a farewell dinner
Wednesday night, and on Thursday
Walker will leave with his wife and
young son for Minneapolis to take up
his new position as professional of the
Golden Valley Golf Club.

Newark Club
Promises Fans
Boxing Treat
Lew Tender Faces Joe Well
ing Tomorrow Night at
Ii g htwe e i g ht L i'm It
By w. O. Mcclellan

A startling pugilistic innovation is
promised at the Newark Sportsmen' 8
Club in Jersey tomorrow night. Two
lightweights, contenders for the light
weight championship, are scheduled TO
box at the lightweight limit, 1873
pounds.
The boxers who are staging TINS
unique event are Joe yelling and Lew
Tender. Joseph is the merry mariner
who has lust returned after Drawing
the perils of the Great Lakes Train
ing School and the stormy waters of
Pelham Bay. Tender is the Quaker
lad who made something of a show
ing with Benny Leonard at Philadel-
phia.
During the last months of boxing
in New York State "lightwelghts" we're
battling at 14O pounds and better. Any
thing under that was considered al
most light enough to be held IN the
featherweight class. The traditional
weight, 1873 pounds ringside, the weight
at which Cans, Nelson and Wolgast
used to Night, had become merely a
tradition.
yelling Over Weight
Tender will have no trouble in max
lightweight like Wolgast, Nelson and
johnny Dundee. yelling is rangy,
big-boned boy and may have some
trouble reducing. He is over the scale
already and the time is short.
1t begins to look as though boxing
fans were beginning to take the weight
question seriously again. 1t was be-
cause of the strenuous training that
he had to undergo to make weight for
Nelson at Goldfield that Joe Cans de-
veloped rapid tuberculosis. Nelson's
manager found clause in the London
prize ring rules that compelled fight
er n to weigh in with his fighting togs.
At the last minute Cans was forced
to go through a drying out to make
the weight. That and the gruelling
battle that followed helped to hasten
the great colored boxers end.
The victor of the Yelling Tender
contest is supposed to box Benny
Leonard. Yelling has always been re-
garded as runner-up in the light
weight race. His best fight was
against Ritchie Mitchell, who was
afterward knocked out by Leonard. In
dropped with a cross to the chin in
the first round. But he got up with
out taking the count and was giving
Mitchell a good drubbbing at the
finish.
Since his comeback against Benny
Leonard, Willie Ritchie has decided to
continue in the boxing game for q
while. Ritchie may still be something
of boxer, but he can hardly ever
hope to. regain the lightweight title,
for he is ten pounds over the light
weight limit.
According to the best judges, Ritchie
was winner in four rounds, but
would have been loser had the fight
gone on. Promoters in this vicinity
are trying to bring the pair together
again. Certainly, they will fight again
1t is highly probable that Ritchie-
Leonard contest will be one of the
first bouts when the new boxing law
for New York goes through

iowa CAVES HAVE
ice IN SUMMER;
none IN WINTER
(Des Moines Register)

McGREGOR, Ia, Sept. 5.-There
are three or four places in the United
States known to science where winter
and summer get all mixed up and ma
ture puts up ice in July and August
instead of in January. DEBORAH, Ia,
and Bixby's Park, near Edgewood. are
two of them. They are ice mines at
both places.
A rocky hillside with a cave in it,
whence issues a draft of icy air on the
hottest day in summer, describes each
of these mines. Inside the caves there
are walls of ice. Picnic parties at
Bixby's Park most any Sunday after
noon may be seen freezing ice cream
at the mouth of the ice mine The ice
has been chopped in chunks from the
cave with an ak.
The DEBORAH ice cave is much the
larger of the two. How large is a
matter of conjecture. Winding cham
bers lead back a hundred feet to the
big ice bound chamber, but there are
many evidences that beyond this other
cave passages penetrate deep into the
hill. 1t Is even surmsed that there
may be subterranean halls mile or
two in length, as in two different
places distant from the ice cave blasts
Of cold air issue from the crevases in
the hills about DEBORAH.
Science has been busy for some time
explaining these ice mines. Edison
P. Blach of Philadelphia, who has
made a particular study of them,
states that according to the theory
evolved by investigators the forma-
ton of the caverns is such that the
cold air of winter does not penetrate
and settle in them until late in the
spring at the time when the water
