WASHINGTON, Jan. 1e.-The Ma

Mrs Florence Kelly, general secretary

to-day, "only to find that after they
have procured most of these improve

Star Match PLAYER

Even if Travers is not yet back to his
old stride, no one who meets him will
look for anything but battle. For he
stands as one of the greatest match
players of all time, a golfer who, in
spite of decided weakness with the
wood, was able to win four amateur
crownsI
Travers attained most Of his success
through his deadly accuracy with the
putter and his grim, fighting deter
mination to stick TO the finish.
With the possible exception Of
Walter J. Travis. Travers has always
had the finest and keenest concentra-
ton in the field. A big part Of his sue
cess has been due to his ability to CEN
ire his complete concentration on the
next shot to be played, whether from
tho fairway or from the bottom of a
pit. He was never one of those who
brooded over q mistake. He figured
that part Of it belonged to the past, to
be wiped from his memory. The result
was that even in a deep pit or in other
trouble he was always dangerouss for
you could always bank on him to play
each shot with all he had.

Good Throwing Arm Essential
To Prolonged Stay in Majors

garden. He gets the ball away quickly,
can throw a considerable distance and
with accuracy. Those who saw the big
opening Sunday game between the
Giants and Phillies can attest to this
fact.
Showing Youngs Power
In that game, with Philly runner
on first base, the batter hit into right
field. The runner got a good start and
it appeared he would make third easily.
Young set himself, and on receiving
the sphere rose and shot the ball to
third. 1t plunked into Zimmerman's
hands at third and the runner was
nailed by at least five feet. Walker
and Hooper are much the same sort of
throwers.
Those who possess exceptionally
strong arms are infelders Blackburne,
Of the Phillics; Smith, of the Braves;
Groh, of the Reds, and Baird, of the
Philles. and outfelder Burns, of the
Giants. In the American League, in
fielders Weaver, of the White Sox; !;
Peckinpaugh, of the Yanks; Witt, of the
Red Sox, and Gardner, of the Indians,
and outfelders Lewis and Wick, of the
Yanks, and Speaker, of the Indians,
rank with the best in the matter of
winging.
Ball hxnna, the veteran baseball
writer, who has seen them all. says
that IN getting a ball away quickly
Dugan is the best he ever saw. But
the fellow, professional or amateur
who owned the best arm for hcaving q
baseball was Harry LIE Gore, the Yale
star athlete" Hanna added:
"Le Gore could shoot ball knee
high and have it carry clear across the
diamond at the same level. Au in
stance of his remarkable throwing was
seen in game at Yale Field at
the time he was starring at shortstor
for Old Eli. With a runner on third
the batter hit into deep short lie
Gore fumbled, recovered and snapped
the ball to the plate in time to nail
the runner as he slid into the plate"

Except for Terrific
Beating Willard OK
Says Toledo Doctor

Professor Jim Byrne, official physi
clan of Toledo athletic club, gave
Jess Willard, loser of the champion
ship, an exhaustive examination and
later told what he found was wrong
with the big fellow.
Briefly, the Byrne statement amounts
to about this:
"Willard's jaw was dislocated and is
giving him a great deal of pain. His
frontal bone on the right side of his
face was shattered, and from what I
saw it seems to me that an operation
will be necessary before he gets the
right sort of relief. The ex-champion
has other injuries and decorations, but
none of them is of serious character.
His floating ribs are mashed and de-
cidedly painful, and it will take some
time for them to get back to normal.
"All told, l should say that it will be
at least six weeks before Willard is
back to rormal condition and able to
move about comfortably" said Byrne.
"He got tremendous beating and, due
possibly to his rather soft condition,
was an easy victim to the heavy
punches of Dempsey"
