Jock Hutchison. OF st. Andrews :,
Scotland, and Glen View. Chicago
may or may not be the greateA
golfer in America. but once on a
rampage he is undoubtedly the most
brilliant
Which is 10 say that Jock is csps-
BILE Of scoring lower than any other
star once he gets under way.
His complete average for the year
may be no better than that OF Wal
ter Hagen or Jim Barnes. In leading
tournaments IL may be not so good
But he will very likely have more
near miracles packed away than
either. For the wiry Scot is a brown
streak once that extremely nervous
system Of his acts as a driving mo-
tor 10 carry his rare ability down
the trail.
A Few Records.
Jock recently astonish-d the golf
ing experts al ST. Andrews by a Sc
ries OF performances that dazzlsd
the ancient community. over one
course or another he spliptered 20
more than once. dropping as low as
81. where beating - was unknown
and unbelievable.
Those highly sstonished Scots
who msrveled at these rare deeds
had no idea that Jock was capable
Of such things. Yet they might have
understood IL they had watched
Jock at Inverness in the last open
championship. There. in the qualify
ing and the championship rounds
but one golfer managed to break
20. And Jock broke it twIce. EX-
tremely nervous. almost wreckingly
81. h.. = Thai no
one else could follow until this
nervous fame burnt out with only
eighteen holes to go. But in those
Two sixty nine rounds his golf was
better than anything Ray. Nardon.
Hagen or Barnes had to show. a
game OF the slashing. chance-tsk- :
ing. devil type. that com
bined both length and accuracy.
Jock Vs. Haee. and Barnes.
As for swapping strokes. Jock can
do this with either Barnes or Hagen.
But they have something on Jock
in two respects Hutchison is slight
Of build. where Hagen is cast in
powerful mold. with a distinct phys
ical advantage Hagen. too, has a
far calmer temperament. wonderful
tenacity % purpose. but a serene
type OF tenacity that rarely gets
rusteIed. Hagen is, therefore. able
to conserve his physical and mental
resources through championship
test to far better advantage.
Barnes sn't physically equipped
ny better than Hutchison is. Long
Jim is tall. thin and lanky. There
is nothing of the troglodyte about
rim. But he also has a far greater
poise and serenity than Jock carries
and so doesn't wear himself out to
the same extent.
You think of Jock as a whirl~ind.

Looking at 1t from a sporting
standpoint I can't see any reason
for. the criticism Of Fighting Bob
Martin after his recent bout with
Bill Brennan, which was won by
Brennan on ecisfon at the end Of
fifteen rounds Of fshting. Demp-
sey was criticised, too. when he took
twelve rounds to knock Brennan
out.
The plain fact Is that Bill Bren-
nan Is a strong. rugged fighting
man-a very fair heavyweight and
a hard man to beat, Brennan seems
to be overlooked. He deserves a
lot of credit for staying as long as
he did with Dempsey and for out
pointing Martin.
Martin has a pretty good record
for a fellow who took up boxing
while in the army during the war.
He is only 90. He is six feet two
inches tall and weighs 1s0 pounds
In his qualifying bouts for the A. E.
F. championship-whi he won
he knocked out twenty-five OF his
twenty-ssven opponents. He won
the interallied championship by
knocking out Capt. Gordon Coughill

Since the war Martin has been
busy fighting. Last year he had
twenty-eisht battles. and won If
teen of them with knockouts. land
ing the fifteen X. O's in less than
forty-two ROUNDS of fighting-an
average of less than three rounds
per fight. And while he wasn't
fighting champions he beat some
pretty fair men in Jack Mcfarland
Jack Moran. Tom Mcmahon. Sergt
Ray Smith and Bandsman Rice. He
won six OF his 1920 fights with
knockouts in the first round.
Considering Martins age and ex-
perience there's no reason to doubt
that he will improve rapidly in an
other year, and II wouldn't surprise
me In the least to see him a chal-
lenger for the hampionship-and
well backed by the public-within
two years.
Martin Has Time.
Jim Jeffries was in his third year
OF fighting when he beat Bob Fitz-
simmons and became champion. and
Jeffries went to the top faster than
most of them. Jim Corbett had

Notre Dame Beats Indians

Indianapolis, October 29.-Ripping drives through the line, alternated with an aerial attack in the last two periods, today gave Notre Dame a 2S to victory over Indiana The field was covered with water and mud from an all-morning rain.
 Indiana was able to hold the Cath olics even in the first two periods, the count being seven points each when the halfway mark was reached.
 Indiana's attack was almost com pletely smothered in the last two pe- riods. The Crimson elected to play straight football until the final pe- riod, when forward passes were used Little ground was gained by this method of attack. however. Summary

that he took at regular intervals He was doing very well in the tour ney; had qualified very respectfully. and had won two matches when he discovered that his pills were gone! That night a fellow lodger found him swinging his club desperately in his room at night and getting up at a dark and early hour the next morning to practice putting. hoping thus to overcome his hoodoo. I was through my own match in time to soc him play the last three holes and l caddied for him on the extra hole. 'If I only had one of those pills" he said mournfully to me as we went down the extra hole. He played it miserably and lost. As he forced his club into his bag after his defeat. he said He never could have beaten me if I had had those pills" It Is my guess that he was right.
 If you see a friend with a noted weakness for dress wearing some particularly disreputable garments while playing golf, do not attribute those clothes to financial distress. He is wearing his lucky clothes" in n feeble effort to propitiate the little god of chance that presides over golf links

TOPNOTCHERS ARE SCARCE IN BOXING,. SAYS TEX RICHARD
By SPARROW MCCAIN special Correspondent of The Age Herald. Copyright. 1891. by The Age -Herald.)

Copyright, 1921. by The Age-Herald.)
 New York. October 2s.--No pugil- istic class is So heavily freighted with high grade performers that knockout or two, may not change a divisions entire aspect. Tex Rickard was speaking this today.
 Everybody" he said had been poking fun at the poor old middle weight division, not forgetting the featherweight class, ] when suddenly Rocky Kansas of Buffalo shades Lew Tender, supposedly the out standing contender for the light weight crown. Well. where does that leave you? The only difference now between the light and middle weight classes is that the former group has a real champion and the other has not.
 There isn't contender who would impress the fight fans as hav- ing a chance against Leonard and they will pay good money only to see a chap of that sort"
 Tex made 1t clear that he had no idea that boxing enthusiasts as a whole had any wish to see Benny take beating simply for the sake of a beating, but they have grown tired of paying to see the champion plaster someone.
 When you come to talk big money" said Tex, who was in one of his quiet philosophical moods, there are two classes in the country today and only two men in these classes who look attractive to promoter,-Jack Dempsey and Benny Leonard All of which is true as gospel.
 Andy Channey. Charles Beecher and Billy Defore are the leading feathers and no fan would bet even money that Kilbane couldn't beat them.
 5 In the middleweight division the only man who looks as though he could settle Johnny Wilson's hash is Mike McTigue. Think of itl Bad as Wilson is, the class can produce only one opponent who would inter- est betters as having at least an even chance of winning.
 To get back to the lightweight crowd, if Ernie Rice of England, continues to progress the time may come when great international bout for the worlds lightweight champion may be on the cards. Be-
 
 ahve retired. For no one believes Rice would have enough of a look-in against Leonard now to cause any excitement.
 In the light-heavy class, Carpen- tier. Gibbons and Harry Greb. with Billy Shade lowering by. look to be the goods so far as real sporting interest is concerned. But Gibbons won't meet Greb. This is because the St. Paul knocker-out is afraid of beating. Jf he were knocked out by Greb. or even shaded, the rich Carpenter stake event would go flooie. By the way. the reason for Tommy's long string of knockouts after years in which he has made no reputation as hard puncher. was an operation for her mia which Gibbons took at the time of the war. When the surgeons cured this he was no longer afraid to hit out. Hence the string of knockouts
