How the smiths Figured.

Back In 1905 Alex Smith finished IN
tie for sixteenth place for the British
open and five years later his brother.
Willie, to my mind ono Of the finest
golfers who ever hreathed. after setting
the record AT 81. Andrews at II, came
IN ffth. with Donald Ross stroke
away.
SO far as We can Judge from reports
the games OF tho leaders have not been
impaired by the war. However. while
the records wou'd seem to indicate n
casual superiority on the part Of the
British quartet, the weight O, numbers
appears to even the count.

He went cOatess In the rain drencNed
TO the skin, taking uncommon pairs
with every shot He was thirKlnG 81
what the victory meant for America and
American golf. and he fought to the last
putt,
That Is the spirit which will make
n man careful and steady. cool and
proudly defiant, not unresponsive to the
greatness OF his opponents but deter
mined every inch OF him to win for
America. Let twenty men play thus
imbued and one will prove the victor
over any opposition.

PURSES TO BRITISH
BOXERS ARE SMALL
American Fighters Will Not

Says A. F. Bettinson.

a. +. Bettinson. manager of the
National Sporting Club OF London, Eng
land, in communication received by the
Sporting Editor of THE Sun last night.
intlmntes with emphasis that the ex-
traordinarily large purses said to have
been offered by English promoters for
bouts between American and British
boxers are more apparent than real. He
adds that American boxers would do well
to insist on the posting OF substantial
forfeits by promoters who are inclined to
make offers OF fabulous purses.
Mr.. Bettinson explains that while he
has no objection to visiting boxers get
ting all the money possible for their SER
vices, yet conditions in England do not
warrant the huge sums mentioned. He
calls attention to the fact that the
National Sporting Club. which includes
In its membership the leading sportsmen
OF the British Empire and which Is the
recognized governing body in boxing
matters in England. is ready and willing
to stage bouts between American and
English boxers and to orrer reasonab Die
terms to the visiting fgh,ers But the
National Sporting Club will not meet the
eXorbitant offers OF promoters outside OF
that club, and Americans would have 10
take their chances IL they cross the ocean

Mr. Bettinson also says that box ing vii

Originally 1t was decided to sign tho
articles Of agreement at the Hotel
Claridge. When Richard told Ike Dor
gan. his major domo. Saturday night that
Dempsey would arrive here this morning
Dorgan arranged meeting for the
Broadway hostelry at 2 L. NJ. to-day.
The revelations in THE SUN yesterday,
showing the illegality OF signing any
fight contract here and the worthlessness
OF any fight agreement made In New
York caused switch In the plans
Richard last night acknowledged Demp-
sey would have to go to New Jersey to
sign the papers.
Until l picked up the sporting section
OF THE SUN this morning, said Richard
last night, land had my attention called
to clause 1.710 OF the Penal Code. II
never occurred to me that the repeal OF
the Frawley law brought back the same
conditions here that pertained In 1910,
when We had to take Jeffries and john
son across the Hudson to sign the fight
papers.
AS 1t 10 Illegal to make any hght
agreement In New York. any con-
tract Dempsey and 1 might enter into
here would be worthless Before read
to- days sporting section Of THE SUN
had Dorgan go ahead and complete ar
rangements for meeting at the Clar-
idge tomorrow afternoon. That now
will have to be cancelled. l will find
out as early as Is possible In the morn

possible.
II will not so back on my word
