The Field VS.. The Big Four

The dope of the day in golf matches
the field against the Big Four; such
men as KirkDy, Walker, Whitney, Jones,
Fownes, Anderson, Marston. Heron,
Sawyer, White, Rodenbach, etc, against
Evans, Ouimet, Travers and Gardner.
These last rour have taken care of the
last five championships. Travers won
in 1912 and 1918; Ouimet in 1914:
Gardner in 1915 and Evans in 1916.
The field at large will have a rough
assignment overthrowing all four, but
queerer things have happened in the
ancient Scottish game, especially if
the Big Four become entanglcd and
begin eliminating each other. Evans

Pugilisnl in 1888

A n OLD engraving, dating back to
IA early in the last century, is
pretty good proof that the art of
pugilism has undergone no little re-
finement since it's first beginning.
This old picture, from plate en-
grayed by l. Grocer. appeared in
"Bovaina'' about 1912. The scene
is the battle fought January 9, 1888,
at Oldham, Lancashire, Eng, be-
tween Daniel Mendoza, Spanish
champion and father of scientific
boxing, and Richard Humphries.
Humphries won the pictured bout
in twenty-eight minutes, but two
years later he was "beaten into
submission" in fifteen minutes by
the victorious Spaniard.
There were no padded gloves in
those days of realistic pugilism.
Bare and bone-hard knuckIes fell
upon unguarded jaw and protrud-
ing nose without semblance of
of apology. Punishment was ter
rife and recovery proportionately
painful.
Since those days pugilism has un-
dergone many changes. 1t has be-
come much more of a cold science.

Record Entry Expected
For Trapshooting Title

With 698 trapshooters already en-
tered and stragglers coming along in
each mail, Secretary Stoney McLinn
of the American Trapshooting Associa-
tion, announced last night that the
Grand American Handicap, to be held
in Chicago on August 10, would be a
record breaker from the point of the
number of contestants.
1t is practically assured that field
of 900 or more will start in the annual
clay target shooting classic. These
.trapshooters will represent ever state
in the Union and Canada. There will
be number of women, two men eighty
years of age, two boys under twelve
and at least a score of soldiers and
sailors.

Other New York Entries

Other New York entries to be con-
sidered include John G. Anderson, twice
runner-up in previous championships;
Max Marston, who eliminated Jerry
Iravers and carried Bob Gardner to
the thirty seventh hole at Detroit; Ned
Sawyer, exWestern champion, and
Gardiner White.
These are men all sure to qualify
and dangerous in any one match.
Either one of the four is likely to
turn in 72 or a 73 at any stage of
the tournament, for all are tournament
veterans, rarely afflicted with any at
tack Of nerves
Anderson, for example, carried Chick
Evans TO the thirty-seventh hole in
the French Amateur Championship and
a year later, at Garden City, dropped
the Chicago star by a margin of 3

In addition to the stars summarized
and exploited up to date, there are
many others who may kick in with an
upset any day of the meeting. Two
of these are w. c. Fownes and Dave
Heron. Both are Pittsburgh entries
and both know the Oakmont course
to turn. Fownes won the champion
ship at Brookline in 1910 and came
within an eyelash of beating Ouimet
at Ekwanok in 1914 when he was / up

CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS
No. 6-Kirkby and Walker

The Metropolitan district, which en-
braces over 100 golf courses around
New York City, has gathered in five
amateur championships through Walter
j. Travis and Jerome D. Travers.
But for 1919 Travis will be missing
and Travers will be an unknown guam

championship play.
Among those to be considered at
Oakmont, representing the Big Town
or it's environs. are Oswald Kirkby.
Lucien Walker. Max Marston, Gardiner
White, John G. Anderson and Ned
Sawyer.
From this list the pair that have
shown better golf display since last

Kirkby's Chance

Oswald Kirkby, the lanky Jerseyman,
has become the Metropolitan successor
to Jerry Travers.
Kirkby has won three out of the
last four Metropolitan Championships,
which is proof enough of his superior
ity.
Kirkby is slashing hitter from the
tee, steady iron player, who is able
to get fine distance with any club he
needs, exceedingly good at the chip
shot and at least an average putter.
If his game ever comes upon an
erratc tendency, it is around the greens.
For some particular reason he has
never reached his game in an Amateur
Champ pionship. In 1913 he failed to
qualify at Garden City. In 1914 he
again failed to qualify at Ekwanok.
In 1916 he. qualified and played we'll
at Merton but was finally dropped by
Gardiner White. He should be due
this year to 60 far before he is finally
stopped, for he has game that leaves
him with the ranking stars.

His Best Year

Kirkby has looked better this sea-
son than at any time before. He won
his first tournament in Virginia and
then bagged the Metropolitan Cham
pionship at Brooklawn for the third
final round through brilliant golf.
On the Canadian Red Cross tour
where he was pitted against Chick
Evans in eight different matches, he
was only a stroke or two back of the
Chicago star for the full route. He
played eight rounds with an average
under "a, which is sufficient test
Kirkby has developed far more con-
fidence in his play than he ever knew
before and this will help him over
more than few rough gaps. He
should make the best showing at Pitts

had it not been for the quick witted
and cool headed driver who was on
the truck.
Arriving at the houses on Clark ter
race which is a very steep incline, the
driver was unable to back up to the
curb while he was driving down the
road as far as Commercial avenue
and proceeded to drive up HILL When
he had reached the desired spot where
the lumber was to be unloaded, the
driver put on the brakes, but found
to his disappointment that they re-
were busy on the houses saw the big
truck moving slowly, gaining speed
backward down the steep hill, yelled
to the driver, while others attempted
to block the big truck with logs and
stones. Meanwhile the driver, cool
and self-possessed, tried in vain to
bring the truck to a standstill, but
his efforts were fruitleSs Realizing
what would happen, the man on the
truck swerved the big car so that it
would hit the curb down on its course,
trying at the same time to use the
brakes The big truck with its con-
tents went backward for Il distance
of about 100 feet, and came to stand
still against the curb.
In its fleeing course it went over
two trees and crushed an ash can,
otherwise nothing serious happened.
The driver fixed the brakes and the
truck continued up hill, this time with
out mishap, and unloaded its contents
on the jobs, and then went to the
yards at Weehawken.
