who was runner up In the national
junior championship to Jones. The
match was defaulted to young In

Tilden appeared TO be in fairly
good shape to defend his previous
title this year. There are many ten
mis- critics who believe that the
mighty Bill Tilden is in for the licll
ing Of his life In this tournament.
There is no denying that Ttlder
will have to retain his title against
the greatest field that has ever beer

portant match staged in Europe.
Following his usual procedure the
temperamental Georges has demand.

nally they were scheduled to meet
on September 8.
Carpenter had the date put back
to September 10 and then to Septem.
Der "a. That his motion picture Ell.
gagements prevented him from
made by Carpenter.
The knockers say that Georges
thought he had a set-up in Sikh and
that he now finds he is going to have
a real fight on his hands and is get
ting nervous.
Sikh is training Mt Luna Park,
where Jack johnson prepared for
his match with Frank Moran,
The Senegalese does his work In
public and has attracted q great
deal Of attention.
He boasts loudly Of what he will
do to Georges, according to an Eng.
lish sportsman with inside informn'
ton who recently arrived here.
Carpenter has made big hit In
the movies and he evidently intends
to devote all his time to film work
in the future. There no longer is
any talk Of another match with Jack
Dempsey.
1t looks as though Jack Is going
to see another soft match fade away
Dempsey made a mistake by goine
to Europe. He looked so formidable
that even Carpenters most rabid
followers had to confess that
Georges was outclassed.
Carpenter will be better suited In
the movies than the ring. He made
one picture in America and demon
strated that as an actor he IL well
up to the mark.
4 Georges lost q great deal Of his
popularity following his defeat by
Dempsey. He is afraid that his fu
ture in FINLAND will be affected by
another defeat, SO he is not going to
fight any more tough opponents.

This machine is a mechanical

power Of a mad goat. It strikes q

Evans ID the nearest thing to
this machine that has ever been
discovered. His swing is as faithful
as q grandfather's clock. He has
been hitting golf balls around Clyde
lark for q week now and hasn't
put one into the woods or into a
water hazard yet. He just crashed
his tee shots down the middle and
banged his irons on the green.

graduate club might be expected
to wear.
But even II Knepper was outhit'
ting Evans on some holes, we noticed
that when they stepped up to the
eleventh tee, where a long tee shot
Is much to be desired, that Evans
took a full swing and crashed the
ball thirty yards beyond knepper's 3
effort.
This Just shows that when Evans
feels that he can get close enough
with wellplaced and accurate
drive to bang an iron home, that he
conserves his energy until a real
long drive Is an asset. He thereby
demonstrates that he plays his shots
with his head as well as his clubs.
Evans played over the Clyde Park
links in the amateur championship
in 1910. It was his first visit East
and he was only a kid" golfer. He
lasted until the semi.finals and was
well on his way to the finals with Q
two UP lead, with onlv few holes
left to play against w. C. Fownes,
jr., but he cracked and lost.
Then he went into the clubhouse
and "baYled'' like children will
when someone takes candy away
from them.
That was twelve years ago, and
since then Chick has won the anna
teur title twice and the open title
once, and in many other ways and
places convinced all observing per
