M. A. TITLE GOLFER
IS DECIDED TODAY
By BRYAN MORSE

The "ifs" in life make it more or
less interesting. And while a golf
tournament is in progress one gains
neither credit nor friends in an at
tempt to dope out a winner. BY the
same token, and INTERPRETING the
proverbial ST." D. Clark Corkran,
the Baltimore expert, should be
Middle Atlantic golf champion by
nightfall.
The ease with which Corkran dis
posed Of Donald Woodward yester-
day reflects no discredit upon that
worthy's classic head. Corkran, over
a heavy course, cracked of "A for
eighteen holes. He was one over
fours going out. As Woodward had
halved but three holes during the
engagement, Corkran won handiIy,
and is today favored to win.
Much can happen between a second
round and semi-final, but the dope
shows Corkran to be the best bet. To-
days play, barring more adverse
weather, should bring out even bet
ter competition than that Of yester-
day.
COrkran and Walter McCalIum
were the outstanding winners yester-
day. McCallUm easily disposed Of
DR.. Lee Harlan Today he goes I'D
against Walter r Tuckerman, vet
eran Chevy Chase player. Wise ones
pick McCallum to land in the final
round with Corkran.
It would appear that William G
Ballantyne, Columbia's hope. is over
looked in the running. Ballantyne
had a tough match against Hawse.
Of Richmond yesterday and had to
go to the nineteenth because Hawse
blew a crippled putt on the eight
zenith. A penalty stroke caused Bal
lantyne TO forfeit a chance on the
seventeenth.
Tuckerman's play against Tom
Sasscer, Of Baltimore, was an uphill
fight. Two down at the turn Tucker
man began a great comeback and
gained the ascendency at the twelfth
with a forty-foot putt. He was
dormie three at the fifteenth but
Sasscer carried him all the way to
the home green before succUmbing.
Here is the way the golfers will
be matched up today.

WILLARD MONEY IS ABSENT
AMONG NEW YORK BETTORS

NEW YORK, June 2s.-An appar-
ent lack OF Willard money along
broadway has been responsible for
the fact that local betting on the
biz night has been very slack Demp-
sey seems to have a host Of followers
here. Jack Doyle. who is an author
ity on the way betting goes on all
big sporting events, said today that
there is nothing but Dempsey money
in sight. He added that reports from
Toledo TO the effect that Willard is
not training are making Willard
money scarce.
The sports will not back a cham
pion until they are sure that he is fit
and ready to defend his title" said
Doyle.

JACK KEARNS
. TAKES BACK
HIS PROTEST
Have 100000 For
Backing Jack

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 28.-Ap-
proximately S1,OOO,OO0 has been
rushed into town from all parts
Of the country with this instruc-
ton: "Bet it at even money that
Jack Dempsey whips Jess Will
lard on July f." The bulk of the
fortune came from plungers in
the big cities who hoped to find
odds against Dempsey in their
own towns. But practically all
Of that S1,000,000 remains I'M
placed. There is no financial
backing for Willard, and right
now there is the belief that be-
fore fight time Dempsey will rule
a 5 to 4 and perhaps 5 to 8 IA
vorite over the champion.

By FRANK G. MENKE.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jun 28.-Jack
Kearns today withdrew his opposi-
ton to having two Judges perform
on July 4, when his protege will
attempt to wrest the heavyweight
title from Jess Willard, in the fol-
lowing statement:
Il had a talk with Richard on the
matter and voiced myself against
having two judges. l told him a
referee was all we wanted and that
there was no use having a lot of
amateur frills. But after my talk
with Richard I hav decided to sane
ton tn action of the boxing board
In naming a referee and two judges.
"But / want it understood that I
don't like the plan and 1 am chang
ing my attitude for the best in
terestS of the fight. / don't want
anything to happen that might de-
lay Dempsey getting a chance to
lbelt the crown off Wizards dome.
Ollie Pecord, who will officiate as
referee next Friday, is undisturbed
at the storm Of comment over the
rules of the Toledo Boxing Commits
sion.
1.-The commissions rules will gov
ern- the contest" said PecOrd today.
'"The men will be permitted to fight
IN the clinches, so long as one arm
is free, but they'll have to break
at the word Of the referee.
He'll Protect Boxers.
81 shall protect them coming out
of the clinches. They need no wor-
~ about that In all other details
! the straight Marquis Of Queensberry
rules will be observed.
"a q understand that both willard
rand Dempsey are using the kidney
blow in their training. That will not
;be allowed July 4, according to the
commission rules. I shall insist on
this.
ct am ready to talk over the rules
with both men before the bout, but
hardly see the need of 1t. We can
discuss things in the ring in front of
everybody just as we'll"
Training Takes Slump.
D.. Training took a slump for both
boxers yesterday. Willard was more
than ordinarily slow in his little set
40 with Walter MOnohan.
Dempsey faced Jock Malone and
the Jamaica Kid. He took things
easy with Malone, but he knocked
the Kid out with left jolt.
Most of the experts here now have
switched to Dempsey, though the
champion has his supporters. 1t is
thought that Willard Will enter the
ring a 10 to fayOrite.

monster" said the Syracuse HindOo:
but listen: / licked George Lawler
In Hot Springs years ago, and he was
exactly the same size as Willard. II
the big man isn't as good as the little
man, he has no chance. Dempsey's
rush? Yes, it is good. I'd like to see
him In a fight, though.
You know there are two ways Of
rushing In fight One way Is to tear
In as you would in a street fiEht.
That's no good. The other way Is to
rush in and play checkers with the
other fellows leads. That is the way
to force a fight
He'll Bother willard
Dempsey, bobbing this way ana
that will bother Willard. But his
hands must work. too. He must have
an idea with his bobbing. 1 noticed
him hitting his sparring partners on

as they start punches. That IS a SCI
ence, that touch thing. Jack johnson

He beat Johnson on the level, but
that let's him out You know at
Havana we told him day after day
and night after night that Johnson
was an old man. He had that in his

that all he had to do was to keep
Johnson going and that in time he'd
tire and fall. Jess never was wor-
