lHOLING OUT IN
ONE IS NOTHING
TO SANDY HERD
British Expert Has II
Such Feats to His
Credit.

New York, Feb. 25.-To the. ma
tority Of golfers, a hole in one is
something to be celebrated through
out all the remainder of their golf
ing careers but to Sandy Herd, the
British expert, it is a mere incl
dent in a crowded life. Sandy has
made no less than IA holes in one
stroke, according to carefully au-
thenticated records. James Braid,
another of the great British golf
ers, shares that noble distinction
with Sandy, having also holed his
tee shot on IA separate occasions.
Herd, it was announced today, is
coming over to visit us this sum-
mer. That will be good news for
the golfers who love a good story
for none has wider repertoire or
a more engaging style than he
Harry Vardon, with all his long
career on the links can boast of
having made a hole in one on only
one OCCASION. That notable feat in
his goifing life took place on the
course at Mundesley.

BOXERS FROWN
ON KNOCKOUTS
Too Much FriendlineSs in the
Fighting Game Nowadays to
Suit the Fans.

New York, Feb. 25.-Is there a
protective union of boxers of
America? And if so, has the or
ganization called a boycott on that
winter trip most frequently travel
ed by pugilists in the dear bygone
days-the dreamland journey, all
expenses paid and everything but
beds supplied?
Up at Grupp's gymnasium, where
all sorts and kinds and degrees OF
box fighters gather daily to train
for bouts this question was put to
Bill Shade. the San Francisco
boxer. He said, there was no union
and that the only trouble with the
goodnight wallop was that it
wasn't as popular as it used to be.
The public wants science, he added.
But does it? And again, aren't
the pugs pulling the biggest mis-
take of their lives in thinking that
it does? Possibly so. Now, so far
as an exhibition of science was
concerned, Jack BrittOn, the welter
champion gave as pretty an exhibit
ton recently against David Shade,
as anyone could ask TO see. He had
everything and he showed all he
had. Yet was the crowd satisfied
1t was not The fans were as sore
as boils as they left Madison Square
Garden.
No, sir. what the public wants
is hard hitting. and that is just
what the fighters of the present day
are not handing out. Speaking of
his failure to put Kansas away
Leonard asked what was the use.
He had the Buffalo boy beaten and
Rocky had a hard bean. Benny
didn't want to run the risk of break
ing his hands. Maybe that was the
case. Maybe again, he didn't have
a hard enough punch TO stow the
Italian away. Or still, again, may
be he liked Rocky too well.
1t hurts a fighters business to be
knocked out and the feeling of fra
ternity among the pugs these days
is such that no fighter wants 20
hurt his opponents earning ability.
Why up in the gymnasium of which
mention was made in the foregoing
you could see today fighters who
may be matched next week induIg-
ing in friendly sparring matches.
1t is. indeed, not infrequent that
two men who have just been
get together for a practice
bout. This doesn't help to give the
hghting edge to the real bouts when
they occur.

Exhibition FOrfeits.

Stipulations are being made by
the towns which are encouraging
big league clubs to play exhibition
games for them that the majors put
representative teams in the field or
forfeit their guarantee. Reckless
managers have more or less ruined
the exhibition game business in the
past. One season there were So
called second class teams parading
thorugh tn ecountry whose playing
would not have done credit to a
good prep school team; also much
criticism was caused for major
league baseball when Ty Cobb was
billed as the star attraction for ex-
hibition games in the south when
it was known that he would not re-
port for training and had no inten-
ton of playing.

Davenport and other nearby towns
in Iowa folk will tell you that Jim
is a hummer. First thing he did
after buying the Indians was to cart
every last one of them to Davenport
for a game with the minor league
club there. l happened to be
scribbljng the doings of the team at
the time and jcurneyed along. And
the happiest gent in Davenport that
day was James c. Dunn. A proud
papa with his family all dolled up
couldn't compare with Dunn.
Incidentally Dunn made a win
ming team of the Indians and a
whiZ of a baseball town out of
Cleveland. Right off the bat he
bought iris Speaker for over $780,
900. iris very promptly led the
American league in batting. Later
Spoke became manager and led the
team to its first American league
and world pennants.

ITALY A CHAMP
Claims Tunney's Title by Forfeit
Will Be Hailed as Con-

BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Feb. 25.-Big news to-
day. Ermino Spalto, the Italian
heavy weight champion, who has
been hanging out in New Jersey for
a year, is going to return to Italy
bearing as fruits of his American
visit the title of light heavy weight
champion of America, Will all the
bands of Italy be out when En-
mino's vessel bumps into the doak
over at Naples? Well say SO. He
will be the Italian Carpenter and
when he hooks up with Paul Jour
nee. late this coming spring, there
won't be an Italian from Palermo
to Parma who won't stand by with
a hearty cheer.
But, some one will say, Spalto is
not the light heavy weight cham
pion of America He might add
that this proud title belongs to
one Gene Tunney. Probably, every
fan in the country would be will
ing to bet the wrapper of his roll
would lose They would if Ermino

mitS that he is the champion and
no one could convince him to the
contrary. He had a date to meet
Gene up in Boston and Gene didn't
show up. So Ermino claims Genes
title by forfeit. Howeve the dope
may sound here, any one with imag-
ination will have no trouble in
picturing the way Spalto's fellow
.countrymen will grab it. AS for
Tunney he is not saying anything.

DEATH STRIKES
HEAVY BLOW IN
CAMP OF CARDS
Loss of DiIhoefer
Hurts Clubs PEN

(BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Feb. 25. = The St.
Louis National league club has been
hard hit by the death of Will Dill
hoefer, catcher and live wire Few
realize to what extent Dilhoefer
was of value to the st. Louis club.
Last season he caught in 70 games.
Clemens took up the brunt of the
work, as it was expected that he
would this season. but Dilhoefer
was in every game. When he was
not behind the bat he was on the
line as coach and he was peppery,
intelligent, wide awake young man
on the bases who outwitted the
Giants three or four times when
they were trying for the pennant
in 1919, because he was smart
enough to divine what they were
after
Dilhoefer was not catcher equal
to the highest type of player in that
position but he was a bright play
er mentally. His physique was a
little against him. He was too
light but not an ounce under weight
in pluck. There wasn't a ball play
er who would stand up under any
thing more unflinchingly than he.
Nor was he afraid to match his
smaller body against those of some
of the heavier men who played be-
hind the bat and on the bases.
When he thought he saw an open
ing worth while he tried to make
the play, He nearly telescoped him
self in a collision with one of the
New York catchers but in doing so
no ball player ever made pluckier
effort to score.
Blow to Hopes.
Hickey had a team formed for
1922 that looked good for the fight
thsi summer, but he had not count
ed upon being compelled to develop
another catcher Had he reckSned
with that he would perhaps not
have permitted Gonzales, Bruggy
and Daily to pas sout of the Ma
/ tional league If he can get
Schmidt away from Pittsburgh he
had better go after him. Schmidt
would make the st. Louis team. so

principal necessity would be to get
