Young Earring. wiimington's new

his name may be unfamiliar 20 some
local followers OF the nstio sport,
Earring has established quite a rec

Earring has been the competitor

The newcomer has made his home in

In their recent fight, Jack Brit
ton made Leonard look foolish with
a ieft-hand lab and Tenders big
kick IS on his port side.
Leonard weighed over 40 pounds
when he fought Britton and he was
slow and sluggish compared to the
| speedy ways of his former days.
He cannot be as strong or as fast
when he has TO make 1876. pounds

Leonard's poor showing against
Brltton. however. should not be
accomplished. because Britton is
the greatest boxer in the game and
one OF the brainiest OF all times.
Tender has youth and strength in
his favor, but he will have to do
about fifteen more years In the ring
before he could hope TO approach
the skill OF Old Man Britton.
In listing the marvels OF sport,
Jack Britton should come close TO
the top. He IS close to forty, 81 he
IS not past that mark. and he had
been in the ring eighteen years. He
does not know himself how many

CHAPTER II

| CHAPTER II.
In this second of his series OF in
structions 10 golf beginners, tho
noted British golf expert enlarge,
on the importance of learning tho
proper grip.
In this article I want to amplify
my remarks on the grip. After all
the way in which you grasp the club
is the very first essential in golf. II
comes even before the swing. be-
cause, before you learn to swing you
have to make up your mind how you
are going TO hold the club.
There are two choices-the over
tapping or the natural "V," or palm
grip, as It is called. In the overlap
ping grip the left thumb lies down
the shaft Of the club, and the little
finger of the right hand rests on the
forehnger of the left hand. Both
hands come together in the palm
grip, but there is no overlapping.
The thumb OF the left hand goes
round the shaft of the club. the right
hand gripping the shaft just below
the top joint OF the left thumb.
Be Natural.
Both styles have produced cham
plons. but so much has been written
about the overlapping grip that be-
ginners think either that II is the
only effective method or that the
adoption OF any other is rank bad
form.
Nothing OF the kind. may be ac-
cused OF prejudice in favor OF the
palm grip because It happens to be
the one which 1 have always used,
but my contention is, that n Is the
natural way of holding a club. A
woodman does not eeize an axe with
an overlapping grip, in order to cut,

NEW YORK, July II Omitted
Press) Before the season started
the New York Yanks looked like a
sure repeater for the American
Leaue pennant.
The team wasn't the classles'
looking in the circuit, but the all
star pitching stafr looked like Il
ought to be good for nearly a hun
bred games.
Instead of going away TO a big
lead, the club stumbled and faitered
and dropped down before the sea-
son had reached the halfway point.
The reversal Of Babe Ruth's form.
the collapse of the pitching staff
and the absence Of winning spirit
on the club were responsible.
Strange to say, Miller Higgins,
the manager OF the club, wasn't
held TO blame. Last year. when It
rained in the sixth inning and cut
the fans out Of a rain check. Hug
gins was held TO blame. He was the
target for everything.
This year, however. the fans know
that Higgins isn't responsible and
the town IS for him.
During the recent disastrous
squirt" OF the Yanks, when they
lost twelve out OF fifteen games,
Higgins Is said 10 have offered to
step out. but the Yank club owners
assured him they weren't looking
for his scalp.
GO back and use the club on
some OF those who are throwing
you down" he was told. Fine them
or kick them off the team and Wen
back you up"
Some OF the Woodworking ath-
letes on the Yanks ought to get the
gate. They are working for two Of
the finest men in baseball and draw
ing big money but things outside
Of baseball interest them most.
When Commissioner lands has

him and threaten them with a five
year suspension II they do not give
