w you were never in the

might kick. = How do know
that he is willing to face

tough the Finn is on the mat.
He knows more about Ketonen
than I do"
Have =. you talked with him
"No. How could I? l Just

"Well, listen; don't you think
that Washington fans are tiring
Of seeing Turner meeting a lot
of fish he can beat without half
trying? Don't you think that's
the biggest reason why they are
showing little interest q your
show? And, don't you think
they'd come out In bundles IL
you got Waino Ketonen or Johnny
Meyers, admitted to be shooters
to face Turner7"
The Washington times., 1922-08-15

Its all rlgnt for you TO suggest
Kentonen as an opponent for Tur-
ner," said Freeman, touching a
match to fresh cigarette, "but, il
you were putting on the shows,
you'd find it a hard thing to get
him. He's a wealthy man. He
doesn't have to wrestle and, when
ever he signs, he insists on a guar
antee that is too much for me,
that's all there is to that"
"Well, that sounds good n eve'y-
thing" we answered, "but do you
think Washington would turn out
to see Ketonen? Do you think
Washington fans would turn out in
such numbers as to make it pos :
sible for Keton,n n to get his guaran-
tee in the form of a percentage ?"

We Speak a Bit.

<SCEEMS to US that Pete Dal-
las and the Masked Marvel
~ are poor jokes when oppos-
ed to Turner" we interposed. "No
wonder the folks don't tear down
the theater to get in for those
matches, though III admit Dallas
drew a big crowd to the Coliseum.
We saw that show. No, we didn't
go over to the Capitol and so don't
know what sort of business yon
did.
"Now, it would be different with
Ketonen. 1t is generally admitted
by all knowing anything about
wrestling that, if Joe Turner is to-
day the middleweight champion, it
is only because he hasn't tackled
Ketonen. Maybe he wouldn't be
the champion if he had to tackle
that Finn from Rutland, Mass.
What I'm getting at is this:-
Suppose Ketonen was matched with
Turner, which he isn't, don't you
suppose you'd have a tough time
finding a place capable of seating
everybody? Don't you suppose the
fans Of this town would know Ke-
tonen when they heard his name |?
We do"

OF late we have observed the ex-,
hibition of star men golfers become
more and more a golf course attrac-
ton. The fine English players have
been among us, and to the credit OF
these gentlemen let II be said that
they awoke us to the possibilities OF
golf In our own country, since all the
playing that such stars as ynrdon
and Ray, Mitchell and Duncan,
Willie Hunter and others from
across the Atlantic do over here op-
crates wholesomely to spread the
popularity Of the sport In America
and Canada. - r.. .. 49, p.
Partly because of such human FAC.
tors and partly because OF the natu.
raj allurements of golf, the favor OF
the game has spread here until IT
seems well-nigh useless to try to
spread IL more. Nearly every golf
club has it's waiting list, and the new
club Is filled up almost before the
course Is opened for play.
In all this there Is but one lack
and that Is, the popularity Of golf
for women has not kept pace with
the growth Of the pastime In the
favor OF men. .
Women can benefit from the re-
Taxation and the fun Of golf just as
well as men can, SO let's haVe>more
mixed foursomes and see IL we can
not lure more girls and women to
the links. -
/ have Just heard that a plan Is
now afoot to have in the East this
fall a great mixed foursome play like
the matches in which I took part IN
England in 1911. This was at~the
Stoke Poges course, when ten Of the
best women players In England met
ten OF the best Of the men amateurs.
The women beat US!
Last week l played in a mixed
foursome exhibition match at the
Peoria, ILL.,, Country Club. Two fine
women golf stars, Miss Edith Cum
mings and Mrs. F. c. Let's, jr.,
played against Burton Nudge, jr.,
and myself. 49,
Cummings and Mrs. Let's, in our
best ball, four ball mixed foursome,
carried our game to an extra hole,
having a handicap of only nine
strokes, a half stroke per hole! This
shows the possibilities Of the woman
golfer.
The playing Of this match made
a fine exhibition and as Miss
Cummings and Mrs. Let's stood mt
the tee and sent out drive after
drive that equaled or bettered our
own tee shots, scores Of women
in the colorful gallery must have
been encouraged to take up this
sport more earnestly.
The value Of the mixed foursome
match is this: Men players the
country over have learned the finer
points of golf by watching fine
men players and studying their
work. The same thing will apply
IL we can coax the expert girl play
ers into exhibitions everywhere.
Women can master golf if they
are encouraged to. since golf is not
primarily matter of physical
strength fact which men players
are seldom able to fully realize.
II is mainly "A matter Of hitting
the ball with the right snap Of the
club head.
The girl can do II almost as well
as the man can-and anyone who
thinks otherwise has only to see
Miss Cummings or Mrs. Let's, or
anyone of scores Of other accom-
plished women golfers in action on
the links.
Let's, change the golf widows
weeds into the flowers of the golf
links!
