BEST HARVARD ATHLETE
Gourdin, Who Set World Broad
Jump Mark, Is Star in
MANY Lines,

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. July 26-Ed-
ward o. Gourdin. Harvard's negro
athlete, who set a new world broad
jump record of IS feet 3 inches last
Saturday. has closed his college ath.
letic career with an all-round record
Of track and field proficiency sur
passing that OF any man who ever
wore the crimson. His ability in
events which he first tried as a fresh
man is shown in a list of the marks
he has made in actual competition.
They follow,
r00-yard dash, 0.O9 AS; 22o-yard
dash. 0.22 1-5; 440-yard run. O52 l-5 !;
broad jump. IS feet 3 inches: high
jump. feet inches; running hop.
step and jump. 45 feet 3 inches: jaw
elm throw. 140 feet. and discus
throw. 110 feet.
Gourdin will be as much decorated
as hero Of many wars If he chooses
to pin on his breast all the medals
he has won in four years. The Har-
ward athletic authorities have been
unable to get medals struck of as
often as he has earned them. Five
gold medals of special die are due
him for his successive college record
marks in the broad jump, eliminating
in the broadest jump known to man
last Saturday.

Herman regained his crown as he
had lost it-by judges decision. The
bout went the full fifteen scheduled
rounds and Herman clearly had the
better of thirteen Of them on points.
Lynch was credited with three rounds.
Zach boxer weighed in at 116A
pounds.
One Of Few to "Come- Back"
Herman is one Of the few fighters
to regain a lost championship: stan
ley ketchel, after being knocked out
by Billy Papke. returned the favor In
a later bout for the middleweight
championship.
Herman. in his battle for the title.
was not the same boxer who so list
lessly let the ring bauble slip from
him last winter. He was as different
as day is from dark. No strictly de-
fensive battle with an attitude of
meek submission here. Instead the
positions were reversed. A glaring
transformation was witnessed in the
styles Of the two poxers., Herman
fought as il his life depended on the
result. And when ne fought this
way Lynch was nonplussed. The great
crowd. therefore, witnessed the spec
tAcle of Lynch. the champion. per-
forming as did Herman. then the
champion. on that chill yuietide holi-
Lynch managed to carry of the
second, sixth and eleventh sessions.
For the remainder of the battle the
champion was subjected to a strHdy.
systematic beating. which resulted
points which only knockout could
upset and as the battle progressed
Lynch. tired and apparently worried
of the pace. gradually lost that snap
and dash which must be possessed il
Knockout victory is to be accom-
plished.
Wears Lynch Down.
An analysis OF the battle is fur
nished in the declaration that Her
man fought in his accustomed style
and Lynch could not. The springy
little southerner started well
fought battle with the opening of
the first round and seldom thereaf-
ter did ne deviate from his set
course. This was evidenced in the
workmanlike manner in which Her
man accomplished the victory.
He gradually wore Lynch down to
a state Of ineffectiveness-to a point
where he knew he was safe from
the danger of the champions vaunted
right-and then continued methodi-
cally to accumulate points which
Lynch could not overcome. despite
desperate efforts in the closing
rounds to turn the tide of battle
with one lusty full-powered blow.
A lone hold-up man poked a re-
volver through the glass in one Of
the ticket booths while the lights
at the park were temporarily extin-
guished by the blowing out OF a fuse and
robbed ticket taker of 5000.

Feat of Pirate Center Fielder
Equals Felsch's Mark.-Adams

Scoops Carey, Pirate center fielder.

putouts. in d game at Pittsburgh with
the Giants. This achievement is said

When the President was soJourning in
Florida last winter prior to the inaugu-
ration. he and Barnes played together
as partners several times. and at the
last meeting were defeated by Mcleod
and Small. This was at St Augustine.
where Mcleod was attached to the st.
Augustine links for the winter, and
where Small was representing TIE ac-
tivities of the President-elect. BY an
unusual coincidence it so turned out at
the national open championship held in
this city last week Barnes proved the
winner. with Mcleod in second place.
Reminds President Of Blot.
President Harding presented the
trophies to the winners Friday after
noon, and at that time Barnes reminded
him of the fact that they had the sting
of defeat to wipe out: that in short there
was blot on their golfing escutcheon.
The President agreed that an attempt
should be made to extinguish that blot
and he asked Barnes to remain over in
Washington until Monday to renew the
old foursome hostilities Of last winter
with diminutive Freddie and the cor
respondent.
The game was preceded by a
luncheon at the White House for the
foursome. the President seating
Barnes. the champion. on his right.
and Mcleod. the runner-up. on his
left News Of the contest leaked
out. and there was good sized gal
lery on hand to watch the start and
finish of the match. 1t is an un-
written rule of the links here in
Washington that galleries shall not
follow the President around the
course.
Barnes. who is at the very top of
his game, played brilliantly, as
in admiration of the champions
shots he neglected several OF hfs
own. On the homeward journey
Barnes cut loose with number of
brides. holing 3 at the tenth. 2
at the thirteenth and at the four
teenth. Barnes had a IS for the
eighteen holes, against II for Nc
Leod.
President "ShOOts" Well.
Despite the good scoring by the
professionals. Mr.. Harding several
times tied their balls for low score.
which meant par golf in most in
stances. At one time during the
second nine Small and Mcleod were
five points down. but. taking advan-
distinguished opponents, they cut
down the lead to all but the winning
point.
The gruesome fifth hole at Column

all. The President played his second

trap, with its mounds and sand pits.
and on his third went sailing across
almost to the green. which is $50
yards from the tee. The champion
ship tees are still in use at Column
bia and this called for some excep-
tionally long carries to avoid traps.
streams or rough.
The strong points of the Presi-
dents game are driving and putting,
however, and when he sank twelve
footer on the eighteenth green the
gallery broke into applause remi-
niscent Of the championship tourna-
ment.
President Harding is a loyal
golfer and he has high regard for
the professionals of the stripe of
Barnes. Mcleod. Hagen and the
others who have done SO much for
the game in this country.

4 PROSPERITY DRIVE.

1t has been declared recently in
drive" is over, but the National Re-
tail Clothier holds the view that one
more can be put-1ver and that now is
the time to start it. It says:
1.-The time is ripe for Prosperity
Drive. Deflation is at an end. Prices
are reduced. Cotton is down to pre-
war levels. There is shortage of
railroad supplies. There are short
ages in many lines. Crops are big.
Copper stocks are low. All signs are
for good times ahead.
THE prosperous period : that is
looming will differ from the last one.
The race this time will go to the swift.
The wide awake merchant will win.
pg-and the mine will yield. is the
motto that must prevail. There will
bee better business than during. the
1pre-war times, bal. merchants will
have to use all of the pre-war efforts
and more.
s'Inattention~ TO overhead, careless
neglect of sound policies, reckless
buying-all such practices must pc
abolished to ma Prosperity in
1921"
The Red Cross. the Y. NJ. c. A, and
the other campaigns, which were so
successfully carried out-the sugar,
wheat, and gasoline conservation
drives achieved their aims, and it is
urged by the C1othier that today we
can adopt some of those wartime tao
tics and put over the prosperity drive,
and bring this country back to BUSH
ness. just as quickly and successfully
as we put over the war campaigns.
There is nothing wrong with the
United States. it points out. except
thu mental state of mind. True there
has been an illness. and there has
been a certain serious and important
deflation. 1t had to come. There was
an unhealthy indigestion resulting
from an overfed financial condition
and the country had to have an oper-
alton winch brought conditions quick
ly to normal. 1t is time now for the.
patient to stop talking about the oper-
alton and commence instead a. drive
for quick recovery.
Let all the agencies-merehan
bankers. magazines.
and other advertising me-
diums get back to business with
drive and we 7-ill be back
quickly.
