AMERICAN GOLFERS
IN ENGLAND REST
UP OVER SABBATH
By Associated Press

Hoylake. England. May 22.-The long
standing restriction OF the conservative
Royal Liverpool Golf club, prohibiting
Sunday play on its links, made a desert
ed spot today Of what during the coming
week will be the scene of five days bat
tie for the British amateur golf cham
pionship.
Most of the 223 players entered spent
the day in resting, though a number OF
them motored to nearby courses for final
practice. OF the 10 Americans entered
II will go out tomorrow in the first round.
Ninety-five matches are scheduled Tor
the opening day and GA for Tuesday.
Golf speculation was rife among the
scattered few who had obtained locai
accommodations. Estimates of the aoil-
ity of the Americans had risen over
those formed before Saturdays play,
when they defeated the best of the
British amateurs in nine of the IL mat
ches. Clear, dry weather, which is sup
posed play to favor the American style.

the conditions would maintain the course
fast thus aiding and abetting the super

and putting weakness of the British re-
personalities.

full expert falls the lot of opening the
tournament duplicating the honor he hat
in Saturdays international match. 1t is
expected he will get a good hand at $50
in the morning when he squares away
with G. C. Manford, of Luffness for
imitation tests of the class. Golfers were
sympathetic with Jones today for being
called upon to play at so early an hour
but assured him not only of their con-
fidence that he would win the first round,
but that he would be contender in Fri
days final
Charles Evans, Jr., the American cham
rion, was not discouraged today by his
defeat Saturday at the hands of the
British champion, Cyril Tolley He il
expected to dispose of D. Stoner Crow
Their of the Coombs Hill club whom he
will met tomorrow afternoon. Gossip in
the American quarter today left no room
for doubt that the Americans expect
Francis Ouimet to win without much diff

Copyright, 1921, by The Aee-Herald
New York, May 22,-(special.)-
Since George Carpenters arrival
in this country a decided slump has
been noted IN the confidence of
those boxing enthusi SITS who had
been Inclined to the belief that
the Frenchman had an even money
chance to boat Jack Dempsey on
July Q next. You hear no talk Of
that sort today. On the contrary,
If the sporting men continue to
feel as they do just low l should
not be at all surprised to hear OF
some 2 to / offers within the next
week. Odds of tho sort would be
. silly and they may never exist.
The fact remains, however, that
Georges h IS lost prestige. The rea-
sons for this state OF mind follow;
COMPARATIVELY FRAGILE
No. ! AS compared to the
rugged Dempsey with his black
smith chest, shoulders and other
rugged physical characteristics,
Carpenter, when he reached here
on the steamship Savo!e, suggested
jockey. OF course, this IS a little
overdrawn, but l all merely giving
the state of mind of those who
have seen Dempsey recently and
then went down to the dock to
look Carpenter over. The French
man has a sort OF linking in ef-
feet below the cheek bones which,
though probably natural, suggests
a man, who is too finely trained.
Again. his chin is somewhat sharp
and, all in all, the impression he
gave was that he was a pretty
fragile customer to battle for the
heavyweight championship of the
world. This idea was heightened
by an apparent flatness of chest.
LITTLE SPARRING
No. 2-The theory of his manager.
Descamps is that too much box
ing will not help his protege and
that as a consequence, sparring as
a part of the training course will
be limited, emphasis being placed on
road work, gymnastics, shadow
boxing and the like. This hit Amer

eyes, and they are inclined to be-
lieve that the willy Francois is
trying to put something over on
the public. But, if he is serious.

entries in whom most faith is placed to
defend the title, will not clash with the
American early in the play.
Asked today concerning his opinion of
tomorrow's game. Bobby Jones refrained
from making any prediction. The Geor-
ga boy with the unassuming manner
which is characteristic of him, said he
was feeling fine and expecting a stiff
contest. The British experts today laid
emphasis on the consistency with which
Jones went through Saturdays foursome
and singles unscathed. They consider
him great factor in the play for the
championship. 1t was pointed out today
that Jones and Evans in Saturdays

For Good of
the Community


cess. 1t will start on vacant lot at Nor
ris avenue and Twenty-fourth street.
From that small beginning it will grow
into one of the city's real attainments.
Success sits on it's brow because the
truckers who are to furnish the stuff to
be sold in this market are its parents,
pioneers and projectors. They have
asked others to do it for them. Others
have not done it. The truckers are doing
it for themselves That is why it bears
stamp of permanency.
The shippers of Birmingham for years
bore burden of freight rate inequalities
and determinations. They writhed under
it and went thither and yon asking for re-
lief. One bright day a few of them got
together and said: eve must do this
thing for ourselves" Then it was DONE
Early in 1917 the Birmingham Traffic
Bureau was organized by shippers, of
shippers, and for shippers None others
were invited into the bureau and none
others ever have had anything to do with
it. They got real traffic man and put
him to work Today Birmingham has a
system of freight rates practically with
out flaw.
The Jefferson county truckers have
grown good stuff, but have not gotten for
itwhat should have been gotten Like the
shippers they have felt the need Of organ
ization They have formed it. The coun-
ty truckers association has taken it's place
among the institutions of the district.
Over fifty truckers have taken space in
their own market. The truckers begin
this enterprise with fifty of their own kind
standing back Of it, offering their pro-
ducts for sale in it and paying their money
for it's maintenance.
Former commissioner James Weather
ley tried to establish a city market on
Fourth avenue near the county jail It
was fine effort, but died borning A
few years later they pitched it on the Rain
bow viaduct. The automobiles objected
to it's being there.
They transferred it's habitat to Capitol
Park. Someone in that neighborhood
raised hue and cry over the truckers
burning up some park grass with their
early morning coffee making Again the
truckers become the shuttlecock of the
neighborhood battledoor.
In desperation the city commission
shunted them to Avenue A and Twenty
second street. Then it was that the truck
ers began asking themselves if it was not
worth while doing little Of the choosing
for themselves. They organized they
rented their own market space on Morris
avenue and Twenty-fourth street and
their own market will open there June 1.
The truckers are not only going to open
a market but they have planned lot Of
standardizing of products. They are go
ing to grade their offerings and make eff
fort to have them in such form as to win
the recognition Of the housewife and hold
her patronage.
If the truckers score a success on the s
vacant lot at Morris Avenue they will
win that public appreciation which will
enforce permanent city market The
market with their own effort and their
own means will have won community re-
spect. Nothing is impossible after that
is done.
