Moscow sent out agents to lay the
foundations of revolution this year.
These agents are now coming back
to the soviet capital and so far it has
been reported that revolution is feas-

The secret agent from Germany, how
ever, has reported that revolution is
not practicable in that country at
present.

ORTEGA USES CHIP
AS. PUNCHING BAG
Former Champion in Poor
Condition for Bout.

Battling Ortega. the pride of the Pa
cific coast in the middleweight division,
last night handed a real surprise TO
George Chip. X-middleweight title
holder. in fifteen round bout at the
Broadway Exhibition Associations club
house in Brooklyn. Ortega hit Chip
with lefts and rights all through the
encounter. which was full of action from
start to finish.
Ortega is "A battler who uses both
mitts TO good advantage. but he is an
extremely weak hitter, if last nights
fight was his best form. A hard hitter
would doubtless have put Chip away in
few sessions, for the former champion
was in poor condition
The coast fighter had Chip in a bad
way in the last few rounds of the con-
test The first six rounds were very
slow, with Ortega the aggressor and land
ing the cleaner blows. Very little dam
age was done in these rounds. as both
men were cautious.
From the ninth round until the finish
1t was question of how long Chip
would last, for the end of each round
found George in q helpless condition.
Yet he managed to come out for more.
Chip weighed 159 and Ortega scaled 157.
In the ten round semi-fnal Frankie
Bell defeated Eddie White in a fast
contest. Willie Tappy stopped Johnny
Victor in the first round of a scheduled
six round go.

History of the Mashie.

In Britain at the present time they
appear to be wrestling with the history
of the mashie, n club which many golf
ers in this country may be surprised
to hear is Of comparatively recent date.
Jack White, himself n former open
champion, and who was in the habit Of
caddying for John Laidlay. who won
the British amateur title more than
thirty years ago declares that he be-
lieves the latter brought the first mashle
from St Andrews 10 North Berwick
in the eighties and that 1t was not
new club then.
81 can quite believe that" says Harold
II. Hilton. "as I was using n short
headed iron club in the early eighties,
and although they may. in the matter of
the life of the head, have been more akin
to the long headed iron clubs. on the
other hand they were clubs which GER
tainly have n strong resemblance to the
mashie of the present day
Tho former British and American
champion goes on to say, however that
IL was not until 1889 that he came across
a really short headed mashle for the first
time. The club was In the window OF a
shop in Liverpool. and as IL turned out II
had been made in Ellie, In Fifeshre. it's
chief Characteristic being that IL had n
much broader sole than the ordinary iron
then in use. 81 have just had look al
the old warrior" AYERS the Hoylake
wizard "and IL appeals to me as repre-
sentng what might be termed a shallow
faced mashie, but 1t has accomplished
so much service I'm its time that 1t has
no doubt lost not a little OF it's initial
robustness But that IL was originally
