new GOLF LEADER WAS
ATHLETE IN HIS YOUTH

Although there are few who appre-
ciate 1t here In the East, G. Herbert
Walker, newly elected president OF
the United States Golf Association, is
quite a player, as we'll as one OF the
best all-around athletes in st. Louis.
walker is forty-nve years of age, but
has not ceased to be Identified with
some form of athletics ever since as a
boy he played on the Smith Academy
football team. He is a member OF
both the st. Louis and Sunset Hills
Country Clubs and Of the Links Club,
in this city.
No championship attitudes have
been attained by walker in the golf
world. although in 1917 he reached
the final round for the st. Louis dis
trict title, and the following year he
lasted until the semi-flnal round. In
both events he eliminated no less q
golfer than Jimmy Manion, the public
links lad, who last year at Oakmont
qualified in the national amateur
championship. Manion, 1t will be re-
called, was put out In the first round
by Bobby Jones, the Southern cham
pion, winning by , up and to play.
walker achieved his most conspicu-
Gus success as a polo player and was a
member Of the famous four that prac-
tically held the championship OF the
West for several years. He was said
to have the best stable of polo ponies In
the middle West. lie is a great hunts

LONGEST GOLF COURSE
CLAIMED BY DENVER

Denver advances the claim for the
longest golf course in the United
States. II not in the world. The new
municipal links there, recently COM
pletcd, measures 6,767 yards and oc-
cupies only eighty acres of ground.
forty of which belong to the state of
Colorado.
1t is remarkable also because OF the
great number of-bunkers and traps.
There are ninety-eight bunkers. traps
and other hazards The course is typ
ically Western, there being little
grass in the fairways. Greens are Of
oiled sand. 1t was necessary to re-
move forty.f1ve buildings, farm, a
dairy. n brickyard, a dumping ground
and part of race track in order TO
build the course.
The Shackamaxon links at West.
field, N. j., one OF the longest In the
metropolitan district, measures an
even $500 yards.

Ardmore a few years ago, and has
hundreds of friends here. He is in
good shape and is training steadily
for his bout with Smith.
Johnny Ray, the Washington feath-
erweight, who has been coming along
nicely under the tutelage of the vet
eran Tommy Lowe, Is down for the
hardest test given him yet. He Is to
face Johnny DAILY, a tough little Bal
timorean, in the semi-final of six
rounds. A victory for Ray will be a
feather in his cap.
Washington boxer, Is also on the card

Baltimore. These lads are simon
pure fyweights, tipping the beam at
less than 105 pounds. q.
Manager Sullivan is busily engaged
now in completing his card. He

show cqually as good as the last one.

WILLIE LEWIS BELIEVES
CARPENTER HAS CHANCE
Former Ring Marvel Says French.
man Can Hit Just as Hard
as Champion.

Willie Lewis, we'll known a few
years ago as clever boxer. is one
man who is sure that Carpenter has
royal chance to whip Dempsey.
"I know Carpenter and his points
better perhaps than any man in the
world" said Lewis recently. "He Is
a tricky, heady fighter, and II
Dempsey imagines he's going TO walk
in and slap THIS boy over he's got
another think coming.
Carpenter learned the game from
the ground Nup and he can hit just as
hard as Jack, don't forget that. He
had Gunbost Smith on the floor and
he had jeanette In the same position.
Any man who can floor big Joe can
hit. 1 taught him TO box. He used
to hang my picture up in his home
and he kept practicing my lighting
pose. He loves to fight and to my
mind is one of the smartest ring
men that ever lived. A great boy
that and don't you let Dempsey tell
you that he'll beat this fellow In a
punch. Carpenter was lighting our
best middleweights when he was a
sixteen.year-old boy and they in
cluded Papke and Klaus. Chance? l
should say So"

of their 7-to-3 win over Holy Cross
today. The Worcester lads have been
beaten twice in two years now and
yesterdays defeat was administered
by the Hilltoppers.
John O'Reilly's lads started right
after Mclaughlin, the Holy Cross
crack, and whanged him for two runs
in the first, one in the second and
three in the third. One in the eighth
frame was added for good luck.
Art Reynolds. who pitched swell
game for the Hilltoppers. got some
lusty stick work behind him and
some first class fielding support. The
Hilltoppers made four errors, but
these did not affect the final result
to any extent. Twelve hits were
lashed off the Holy Cross pitcher, in
cluding O double and homer by Bill
Kenyon.

The failure of Marsans. the Cuban
ball player, to show the kind of stuff
which made him famous when with
tho Cincinnati Reds few years ago,
left the Red Sox with only three out
ielders--Hooper, Hcndryx. and Men
osky.
This is the reason why Eibel Is
being pressed into service as an out
fielder. 1t was originally intended
to carry him as utility first base
man, as he had considerable expert
ence playing at this position in the
Southern League, and also to use him
as a pinch hitter. The emergency.
however. requires that Hack go to
the outfield.
VIII Shift Menosky.
: Hendryx has been playing center
field and Menosky left field since
Marsans departed. If Eibel Is used,
he will be placed in left field and
Menosky shifted to the center garden.

Hendryx has been hitting the ball
hard: in fact, he's one of the few Red
Sox players who has shown much OF
a punch when at the bat. Hendryx,
however. is not a great Uutficlder like
Hooper, and many balls viii get away
from him which II man OF the Califor-
mans fielding ability would get.
Menoskey has ben playing hard.
fast baseball. He possesses plenty of
the old fight and has been hitting the
ball hard, although not safely. The
breaks are sure to come hts way soon.
The Red Sox need another star like
Hooper in tho outfield to keep the
team on an even plane with Its
American League rivals. Unless 1t
gets a player who can field we'll and
hit around 800 things will not be
very bright up Fcnway Park this
