HOLE-|N-ONE CHAMPION
AFTER j. S. GOLF TITLE

CHICAGO. February 16. Although
records do not show that any golfer ever
made a hole in one stroke in a national
championship in America, a veteran i
that art will have a good chance to es-
tablish a precedent at the national open
championship at the Skokie Club, Chi
cago, next July. as Alexander s. Herd,
a British veteran, who mas chalked UP
fifteen holes in one, will be a competitor.
According to word received by his
brother. James Herd, professional at the
South Shore Country Club, Sandy" as
the British veteran Is known. recently
scored his fifteenth ace at the Coombe
Hill course. making his average about
one for each ten thousand noles played.
As Sandy Herd has played golf for
some fifty years and covered the links

Inmates that he has played at least
10000 holes. OF this total probably
10000 holes were possible ones. SO that
he has averaged a hole in one out Of
eacn 1000 chances.
At Skokie Club, where he and John H.
Taylor, another English old-timer. will
try to wrest the title from James Barnes
of New York, there are four holes that
might be made in one, and as these
holes will be played four times each
Herd will have a chance Of eight to
1000 to score his sixteenth ace.
Herd won the British open title at the
age Of fifty-three. He and Taylor ex-
pect to reach New York about July 1,
giving them ten days to become accli-
mated before the national open. starts on

1t is possible these experts are in
f1uenced by the last fight between the
two In Oregon. Upon that occasion,
as will be recalled. Shade received
credit for a knock-down, although it
appears that upon that historic oc-
casion Britton slipped. Again he was
en- tour throughout the country at the
time and was not in the best condition
to meet man such as Shade.
There will be no such mistake this
time. Jack is in the pink, and If
Shade takes him he will have no
slibi. unless it be the long period of
inaction he has just passed through.
Not since July rs last has the cham
pion fought, and he is a fighter who
needs action. Shade is not terrific
puncher, and 1t would seem the cham
pion has little to fear from a punch
that. with another fighter. would be
a knockout. But II he is not thor
distance. Shade may win on points.
Remember. the word Is may"
Winner May Fight Walker.
Whichever wins probably will be
called upon to do battle with Mickey
Walker. Shade did a bit better
against the Jersey man than Britton.
but Walker has been coming fast, and
Boston sharps say that his recent

However, to get back to the starting
point, the public interest. or rather
lack of public interest, in this Britton-
Shade set-to Is pronounced. Unless
the situation bucks up Tex Rickard
is liable to have the pain Of looking
upon lots of vacant seats.
AS for Walker, he will next box on
February % in Newark, when he
meets either Sailor Friedman or
Soldier Bartf1eld. After that Boston
will put in a bid for his services
against the winner Of Friday nights
bout. Walkers ring savings will
modern boys are certainly business
men. Don't hear Of champions who
are broke any more. Benny Leonard
has earned nearly a million as a
fighter. Jack Dempsey would be well
fixed for life If beaten tomorrow.

fact that 1t supported nearly all the
other sports. He hoped President
would reaIh some happy agreement
as to the foot ball of the future, but
thought there was little need for
change.
President Lowell Replies.
President Lowell answered Aldrich's
point about foot balls contribution
to the athletic treasury by saying
that all necessary college athletics
could be supported without the aid Of
the revenue from spectacular public
exhibitions. He disapproved Of car
in college athletics too far. While be-
lieving there sholud be annually one
supreme struggle between Harvard
and Yale in foot ball. he thought the
habit which had grown up OF provid-
ing exhibitions for enormous crowds
riod in the fall was open to objec-
ton. As a result the public was led
to believe that sports were the sole
purpose Of college life.
The undergraduates. President Low
ell thought. preserved true balance
of the importance OF all the activi-
ties. but the alumni and to q greater
degree. the general public did not, be-
cause they saw only the spectacular.
The Harvard president paid tribute
to the Yale captain as an ideal under
graduate. and cited instances of
craftsmanship shown by him in the
Harvard-Yale game Of last fall: Aid
rich previously had praised the
qualities of sportsmanship Of the Har-
ward team. -
