Promoter Also Will Do
Away With Petty An
noyances of the Past

Tex Richard, the Gatti- -Casazza of
The prize ring, will usher in the in
door boxing season in this city to-mor-
row night at Madison Square Garden
when he offers as star attraction
ffteen-round battle between Johnny
Buff and Pete Herman for the bantam
weight championship Of the world.
The bout will be the first of series
Of championship encounters which will
be held in the Garden throughout the
winter Mr.. Rickard has announced
that his shows will be staged strictly
in accordance with the rules and regu-
lations adopted by the New York Ath-
letic Commission and that every meas
ure possible will be taken to safeguard
the comfort Of his patrons.
The promoter has taken steps to
eliminate the many needless annoy
ances to which fistic fans have been
subjected in the past. The boxers in
the various matches have been ordered
to be on hand at the scheduled time
and the main bout will be started
promptly at 10 o'clock, as prescribed
by the state boxing authorities. This
means that patrons Of the Garden will
be on their way home by II p. m.
The winner Of the fight tomorrow
night will not only be the bantam
weight champion of the world, title
now held by Pete Herman, but he will
New-York tribune., 1921-09-22

also take possession Of the diamond
studded belt emblematic Of the high
est honors in the division This belt
was put up last winter by Tex Rickard
and was won by Joe Lynch when he
defeated Herman
Lynch has thus far failed to return
the trophy, although he lost the title
to Herman in return match which
was held many months ago. Tele-
grams were sent by Rickard yesterday
to both Lynch and his manager, Eddie
Mead, directing them to return the
belt to-day.
Herman and Buff conclude their
training this afternoon and will be
ready to weigh in at 2 o'clock to-mor-
row afternoon. The prescribed weight
at that hour is lib pounds. The ring
in which the little scrappers will meet
is the same one in which Jack Demp-
sey defeated Georges Carpenter in
their historic battle in Jersey City last
July.
Buff and Herman have met once be-
fore, having fought an eight-round
draw at Trenton, N. j., two years ago.

State Commission
Puts Ban ON Pet
Wrestling Holds
Moguls sDenature' Sport by
Stopping Use of Head,
Toe and Scissors Locks

The New York State Athletic Com
mission yesterday dealt what is con-
sidered by many to be the deathblow
of wrestling. At it's regular weekly
meeting the commission adopted rules
which will "denature" the sport un-
til, as an attraction for the public, it
will be something less than what Mr..
Volstead calls one-half of l per cent
by voume.
In censoring and deleting wrestling
the commission threatened to revoke
the license of any contestant who uses
the deadlock, toe-lock or scissors
holds. The wrestler who INDUCES in
these rude methods will not. only have
his license revoked in this state but
he will be disqualified and his oppo-
nent in the match in which they were
used will be awarded the decision.
Fearing that some real uncouth
bone-crusher might horn his way into
a public ring in the sovereign state of
New York, the commissioners ruled
that displays of "bad temper" also are
out of order, and punishable by dis
qualification, revocation of license and
disbarment from further competition
in this commonwealth.
Scratching Also Barred
The temperamental stranger had
better watch his step, for a similar fate
awaits him if he is caught in the act
of striking. scratching or gouging."
The commissi oners didn't bar squaw
wrestling, ans there is still a hope
among the follo.5ers of the game that
this may be lawfully indulged in.
Further diluting of the sport of
westling is forecast, and it is possible
that if Joe Stecher and Zbyszko ever
get together again they may adopt
Irwin Cobb's patented method of set
tling it with powder puffs on the ends
of fish poles.
The commission ordered that all
wrestlers, their seconds and managers
must be licensed. In view of the pro-
hibitory ruling on important holds, it
is difficult to see what good license
would be to a STRANGER" Lewis, Earl
Caddock, Zbyszko or Stecher.

Hunter l Down in Morning
Ine British champion turned l down
IN IN 'ne forenoon when his approach to
the eighteenth green buried at the
edge. The ball was practically unplay-
aoie, but he slashed it out with Min
lick back across the green. Neither
could shake his opponent in the after

uphlil fights of the championship.

up, only to lose the tenth, and then
at the long thirteenth he laid his 15O-
yard pitch two feet from the cum for a
brilliant a, squaring again for the sixth
time. '-> vi
The fourteenth was halved. but when
Manion's second caught the trap at the
hfteenth, Hunter finally moved on

Only brilliant recovery and a six
foot putt saved Manion at the short
sixteenth, where Hunter had a ten-foot
putt for 2.
The seventeenth was a classic. nrov-
ing Hunters all around skill. One nm
here, his approach was over the green
IN the deep rough. With an interven-
ing mound to carry, he pitched dead
to the cup with niblick flick that
few can control. 1t is one of the hard

and iron nerves, and this alone de-
served the victory. When Hunter

Stars Triumph
AT Garden City
Mitchell and Duncan Defeat
Barnes and Hutchison for
the Third Time, 3 Up
By Ray Mccarthy

The four greatest golfers in the world
met for the third time this season at
the Garden City Golf Club yesterday,
and again the Britons were the victors.
For the. third time this touring team,
George Duncan and Abe Mitchell, tri-
umphed over the two champions, Jim
Banes and Jock Hutchison. The for
eigners won by 8 up.
Rain fell in torrents during most Of
the issue, although of course this
worked to the disadvantage Of the Wis
itors as we'll as to Banes and Hutchi-
son.
The reason Duncan and Mitchell won
is simple enough. Their puts, par
those of Barnes and Hutchison were
playing tag with the hole. Mitchell
dropped several marathons, those of
the twenty y-fve-foot kind.
True, both of the Britishers were driv-
ing more accurately on the morning
round; nevertheless Barnes and Hutch
son, or rather Barnes, because Jock
was quite off form in the morning, was
holding his own up to the green's. But
the puts refused to drop.
Americans Improve Drives
Barnes and Hutchison improved their
driving in the afternoon, but that made
little difference. Jock, in fact, anxious
to make up for his poor play in the
morning and in an endeavor to overtake
his rivals, was driving like wild man.
He was ahead Of the larruping Abe on
most Of the holes on this round. But
that old boy still had his putter working
effectively.
For instance, after halving tho first
two holes in the afternoon Mitchell
stepped up and dropped a twenty-foot
putt on the third for bird and q win
This made the Americans down. On
the long fourth, with Jock lying only
eight feet away on his third and Jim
thirty feet. Mitchell holed a putt OF
scme twenty-five feet, the ball rolling
, over a knoll into the cup. Jim looked
at Jock and the tawny-haired Scot
looked at his tall partner, as much as
to say, whats this?" Jim missed, and
Jock did likewise. Five down.
Jim and Jock put on every ounce OF
steam trying to cut the lead, but the
best they could do was to halve the re-
naming outgoing holes. Mitchell and
but never together.
Misses Chance for Prize
Mitchell had par beaten two strokes
going out, and apparently was on his
way to record score and a prize OF
SlOO. But at the tenth the clouds
opened wide and terrific deluge fol.
lowed, so that thereafter good golf was
practically impossible. The cards:

Mile. Lenglen
Off, Unnoticed,
To Native Land
Worlds Champion Leaves
for France; Next Tennis
Tourney at Greenwich
BY Fred Hawthorne

Mile. Suzanne Lenglen. Of France, the
worlds women tennis champion, sailed
for her native land yesterday on La
France practically unnoticed, in strik-
ing contrast to her widely heralded ar
rival on these shores a few weeks ago.
When she boarded the big liner. how
ever, Mile. Lenglen was handed a note
from Horace G. Knowles, former
United States Minister to Rumania,
which brought smile of gratitude.
Mr.. knowles's note in part was as
follows:
"Just line or two of rood cheer
and bon voyage to you as you are
about again to pass your famous Bar
tholdi statue of Liberty. 1t may be
as you slowly and silently slide by it
that your emotions, SO turbulent within
you since you arrived in our country,
will be, like our magnificent steamer,
outgoing.
"That which has occurred since you
arrived in our country has been, Of
course, most unfortunate, and 1 know
heartbreaking to you and your family.
1t was all due to natural causes
"But even at that you have lost
none of the qualities of great player.
and you would not be French if you do
not come back and find, like the an
cient Greek wrestlers, that the result
of your falls will give greater strength
and force to your playing little later.
I am sure it will prove to be that way.
Good luck to you, and bon voyage
to you and your dear mother.
Sincerely yours,
HORACE G. KNOWLES"
