GOLF MATCHES
Pro Tourney in England
Proves Putt Hardest Shot
In Game.
Most gold matches are won or

Most gold matches are won or
lost on the greens. When the duff
fer's score runs up above 100 the
strokes which furnish the undesir.
able margin are the puts. Some
players miss the long puts, some
the short ones, and most golfers
miss both kinds.
A recent putting tournament In
England revealed several startling
things about putting. There were
two puts on each green for the
contestants--one six yards and the
other a yard and a half. Four
points were given for running down
the long puts and two for the
shorter one. 1t was q professional
tournament, and over $4,000 in
prizes was offered. The winner had
a score so. He holed all but one
Of the short puts and four of the
long ones.
1t was not an easy tournament
Some Of the pros were so bad that
in several instances they ran over
the holes and into the sand traps.
Many styles Of putting were re.
vealed. One player got down on
one knee to hit the ball. Another
shot the ball through his legs.
That the winner got so out Of
a possible 1oS shows how even the
professionals find 1t difficult to hole
puts. Where does the duffer come
in when the pros fail to run down
easy shots?
One professional who has made Q
few holes in one at various times
missed several Of his yard and q
half attempts.
There were 200 contestants in the
putting tournament, and the con.
test proved one thing-the putt is

1t will be a question of only a

No sympathy In Other States.

DOXING authorities in various
X parts Of the country where
~ the ring game Is flourishing
have handed the grand "razz' 70
the New York State commission .
edicts against Johnny kilbane and
Johnny Wilson. We happen to
know this, as we have recently
visited several of these boxing CEN
ters and talked with members OF
other commissions.
While holding no briefs for Kill
bane or Wilson, they resent New
York's official attitude in trying TO
force these men into matches and
naming the contenders for the
titles they have vacated-in New
York. There are many clever corr
tenders in other sections OF the
country, but they have been ignored
by the New York commission.
So far as we know not one State
that handles boxing under the COM
mission system, will uphold the
New York ruling. They decline to
fall into o scheme to develop q flock
Of paper champions.
Several other States put the bars
up against Johnny Wilson last
winter on account Of his reputation
of the articles in which he agreed
to box Harry Greb. The general
impression now is that Wilson has
been punished thoroughly and that
further prejudice against him
amounts to persecution.
Both Wilson and Kilbsne are de-
manding more money than they are
worth. They wont get it unless
they draw it at the gate, and that
means they must fight on per-
centage. -.
Dempsey's case is different. He
can attract / million dollar house,
so why shouldn't he get what he's
worth at the box office?
BY the way, has anybody any
idea Of just what Wills wants for
his end! Might be worth the
commissions while to look into
that.

ALLIES GATHER
FOR CONFERENCE

London, Aug. 6 (By the Associated
fress).-Allied statesmen are gather.
ing in London tonight for the opening
tomorrow Of what seems universally
regarded as the mos. momentous con
ference since peace was concluded.
The immediate concern of the con-
ference is the question of reparations
and Germany's request for norato-
rum; but since the delivery last weei;
of the note Of Earl Balfour it is as
sumed that the question of allied in
dC5tedness cannot be excluded from,
the discussions, especially as Raymond
Poincdre, the French premier, is cred
tied with bringing to London a plan
for the extinction OF the German rep
arations bonds in exchange for q can
collation. of the French debt to Great
Britain.
This plan meets with little SYM
pathy in England, because it is con-
rded these German bonds, being ad-
mttedly worthless, Great Britain
would gain nothing, bit by forgiving
the French debt, would lose the last
weapon she possesses for bringing
pressure to bear upon France on the
question of armaments, or on any pol
icy in which France might run counter
to British ideas.
The situation is further complicated
by the ultimatum France delivered to
Germany concerning Germany's pay
Enents on account, Of clearing hcr
debts and the measures which France
already has ordered taken in this con
nection.
Little hope seems to be entertained
here that the conference will be sue
cessful one, although it is fully rec
ognized that IN view Of the swift fall
IN the value of the mark, which threat
ems to bring Germany in the wage Of
Austria and Russia financially, a
situation has been reached in which
halfway measures no longer will be
Of avail.
