GOLFERS
 MEET MASS MEN

Officers of the Massachusetts Golf Association announced yesterday that interstate golf competition would be resumed on July 26, when the Mas sachusetts team will play Rhode Island at the Wannamoisett Country Club of Providence. The Connecticut team will play Massachusetts at the Brae Burn Country Club on Septem- Der 6. Francis Ouifnet is captain of the sachusetts state team.
 As kind of prologue to the main event the club is staging a series of four ball matches open to amateur professional teams. These are not exactly scheduled affairs. The matter of teaming up is left to players them selves. However, only professionals regularly entered in the real tourna- ment are eligible to play. Cash prizes of $50, s3O and $2O are offered for first, second and third places. Anna teurs will be given plate of equal valuation instead of money prizes, of course.
 The Massachusetts Amateur cham pionship ended yesterday on the course of the Winchester Country club. From all reports terrific bat tie is ahead of the winner of the title. Jess Guilford, the present title holder, will have quite an armful in meeting the attacks of Francis Ouimet, Freddy Wright, Will. liam Chick, F. C. Newton, Nat Lowell, junior champion, and others too numerous to mention. At least a hundred are expected to tee off and with few exceptions the field includes al of JJ,1h ment.
 A mixed foursome with class enough is planned for Saturday, fol- lowing the completion of play in the Women'S Western Championship Tournament at the Beverly Country Club. Chicago. Chick Evans and Miss Eleaine Rosenthal, holder of the women's Western title, will play Rob- ert Gardner and Miss Alexa Stirling. who holds the women's national title. This quartet will play an exhibition match for the benefit of a charitable institution.
 There will be no lack of goIfing in terest in the metropolitan district next week in spite of the fact that it follows one of the features of the local season at North Shore. Over in Jersey at the Deal Golf Club the Jer- sey State championship will be set tied, and at the same time West chester players will be sitting out the individual supremacy of that section at the Apawamis Country Club. h. asmuch as both are restricted affairs. territorially speaking, there is no clash in the schedule. There will be competition aplenty ahead of the winner in both events from the out set.

Pat Moran, the manager of the Gin cinati Reds, has written Hans Wag- ner. inviting him to join the Reds and help them in their drive ito the pen nant." At least that's the way Fitch br~g Pat put it. The old lure of the diamond came back to Hans when he read 1t, but he decided he couldn't spaee the time from business to re- turn to baseball. Morap's invitation did not specify whether he wanted Wagner to! play or to aid in an ad- Visory capacity with pinch hitting du- ties.

wasn't a chance in a hundred of Will lard living through 12 rounds. He was beaten and he knew it as every man and woman in that crowd of 40,- 900 knew 1t. Yet he allowed him. self to be made a human punching bag of. He was literally battered to pieces al every ounce of strength in his gigantic body was drawn out of him. Another blow like that one Dempsey landed in the ring would probably have meant WiIlards end

The fans were con- vinced he was no match for Dernp- sey---and that is all that crowd of 10000 wanted to find out.

 WILGARD quit game. He fought
 Ev gamely. He tried, but without success. Like tho mighty Napoleon he met his Waterloo. He had under estimated the ability and hitting power of his smaller opponent. He was taken by surprise---and beaten beyond question of doubt. And chances are that had Ollie Pecord been on his job the Kansan would not have lasted through the first round. He took a terrific beating. He was convinced, as the fans were, that he was beaten.
 Boxing is a sport. whether those engaged fin it, believe so or not. Every man with a heart pumping red blood
 made the trip to see a boxing match,
 not a slaughter. They were convinced
 in the first round that Dempsey was

Bridgeport had runners on the bases in every one of the eight in- ninEs that Enright held forth and the wcnderment of it why more were not scored. Some scintillatinE stops by Ford and Torphy saved him on sev- eral occasions while in the second inning he flashed his best form by moving two batsmen down on strike with a runner on gscond base. In the first inning Bridgeport crowded the paths with only one out, chiefly through En-ights wildness Ford later cut off q run at tho plate with a brilliant stop and throw while Torphy retired the side by making a good catch of hot grasser off Man ager Grimes bat.

rHE greatest knockers in the world


 when criticism is directed at them.
 Take for instance. those champions. near-champs, future champions and former champions who drew hundreds of dollars for towering" the Jess Willard Jack DempGey fight at To- ledo.
 With the exception of Billy Recap. every writer. eNperiCucved and train ed. was satisfied that the battle was the most spectacular ever fought in the history of championship boxers. Even tine old timers reached this opinion.
 Anu get there has been considera- ble knoCkinE-all directed at Jess Willard. But this has been done by former champions, present cham pions. near champions and future champions. These gentlemen took Into the noble Craniums that Jess Willard made a great mistake in quittinE-and took the move as the act of a cot.ard. characterizing his actions ms those of a coward and farcical champion.
 Take Jack Dillon. for instance. He has been very severe in his criticism Of Wiilard's defeat. He has publicly accuses tho former champion of coward.ce. And the only reason he gives Tor having reached lNlS cOnclu- sion is that Jess quit. Jack may be a giant killer" but in his best day he could not have even feinted the ex-titlcho1der. He may have felt Justified in yielding the hammer. but honest writers criticized Dillon's worit-criticism that was intended to show him his faults-he howled like a hungry wolf.
 These boxer-writers proved about ag capable as a clamdigger would be in supervising over the destinies of national savings institution. Inside the ring they may feel at home, but with the pen they are lost. Some of the articles supposedly written by these near-champions were about as interesting as Boishevili circulars Their reasoning was about as logical as Dr. Cooks proverbial talc of how he discovered" the North Pole.

The Giants have lodged a protest with John Heydler, president of the National League, on the game won by the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, July 6. The game in question was the second game of double header with Pittsburgh which Cincinnati wCn by a score of to 0. The game was called at the end of the sixth inning to en- able the Reds to catch a train for Boston The Giants claim that it was necessary for Cincinnati to cut short this game the Reds were not scheduled to play in Boston until yes terday. In their protest the Giants submitted list of trains that Cincin- nati could have taken and which wouM have brought them in Boston in time for it's double header yester- day. As the Reds had an open day on Monday in which to get to Boston there seems to be something to the Giant complaint.

The visitors got away to a one run lead in the third when Braun receiv ed a pass, went to second on Lai's sacrifice and completed the round of the circuit on Skiff's single to left. Baker forced Skin at second and R. Grimes followed with a single over second but Martins best was q roller to Enright. There was no further scoring until two had been retired in Bridgeport's half of the seventh. The veteran Howie Baker opened with a single to center and scored all the way from first base when Manager Grimes shot double in to deep left. Martin drew four balls and Kenneth Grimes followed with a single to left field. Manager Grimes scored on the hit while Martin registered a mo- ment later on Simpsons poor throw. Kenneth Grimes went out in an at tempted steal. With one out in the eighth Bridgeport scored two more on Brackets single, Braun's triple to the right field uprights and a bril- iantly executed squeeze play.

New Haven's best opportunity to score came in the sixth when DanielIy worked Lennon for pass and Dav- idson followed with a sharp single past Tai. The BridgeDorters played the ball poorly and Danielly, in at tempting to score when Tai dropped the throw from the outfie1d, was caught at the plate. First Baseman Grimes made the putout. Davidson. in the meantime, tried to reach third but Grimes throw beat him, com pleting a double play. Lennon, for the visitors. allowed but six scattered hits, no two coming in any one in ming.

thunder crashing would have done
credit to a midsummer storm. The
thermometer stood at 81 degrees that
afternoon, and the following morning,

degrees, which made winter clothing
