TOLEDO TO MEET
ANY FOREIGN BID
PRIzEF|CH7
Promoters Of July 4 Cham
pionship Bout Stand Ready
to Stage Dempsey-Car-
pentier Match.

Toledo, O.~ Dec. 27.--Tolede
wants the Dempsey-Carpentie,
championship pugilistic encounter
1t was announced officially today al
the Toledo Athletic club that Ad Q
Thacher, matchmaker for the To-
ledo boxing commission, has wired
Jack kearns, manager for Dempsey,
that his club will duplicate any offer
made in France, London or the
United States. Thacher is awaiting
reply to his telegram.
Thacher was responsible for the
match here last July 4, in which
Dempsey wrested the title from Jess
Willard when nearly $4,000 went
into the boxing commissions char
ity fund from 10 per cent tax upon
admissions and it is understood that
that is Thscher's principal reason
for wishing to stage another con-
test of like nature.
Thacher also is seeking to arrange
a championship match between

Golf Critics Are
Unnecessarily Alarmed
Failure of British Triumvirate Before Onslaught OF
Younger Players Not Regarded as Calamity by
Francis Ouimet-Merely Lost Keenness of Com
petition in Contest Following War

have merely lost the keenness for
competition and as result the old
inventive to win was not there. 1t
looks to me as though they are far
from done for. No one can convince
me that Harry Vardon has fallen.
Vardon today. like the other two,
facts a harder task than ever in that
there are more good players to de-
feat than ever before in English
golf. British golfng ranks are be-
coming filled more and more each
year with younger men Of splendid
ability.
America Went Through.
To my mind England is going
through today what America has
been experiencing the past 10 years.
You could almost pick the winner
of any of our title events over a
decade ago whereas today you know
that any one of a dozen cracks are
likely to come through. Before the
war there was similar condition
in England. Picking any golfer
other than the Big Three to win a
big event was rating yourself as
mentally unbalanced.
These three-Vardon, Taylor and
Braid-play golf with such ease that
taeir games will stay with them just
as long as they are able to take a
full swing. On top of that they
know TIL. game so thoroughly that it
will be many years before they slip.
1t is folly for the British to think
that they are all through just be-
cause they had bad season. The
best man does not always win, al
though the play of Mitchell in the
News of the World event and of
Hagen ir our own Open is proof that
the best do come through at times.
But if the English critics calculate
as they do, | wonder how they
would have handled Jim Barnes this
last season. who showed up so poor
ly at Brac Burn. Then they would
have argued he was going back Yet
Barnes won FIVE major events later
and took second in the Canadian
Open. Jim simply was not right at
Brae Burr. Likewise. the Big Three
OF England were not right in the
News cf the World tournament.
Another year will see them just as
dangerous as ever, or | miss my
guess completely.
