.ANSON BECOMES A GOLF ADDICT
Veteran Baseball Player Is Chief
 Director Of Chicago Club

Chicago Jan, 27.--''From baseball chief to golf club manager might be the title Of an autobiography of Ad- rian C. Anson, for he signed up to- day as chief director of golf club the Dxmoor, which is to set new style in golfdom.
 After macy years on the diamond both as player and manager, Captain Anson, popuiarly known as Pop, one day allowed his enormous form to be invcigled to golf links and there was beguilcd into swinging q club at a wee white ball on the first tee. He found the ball at first as elusive as n swift double curve, but eventually he hit it n healthy swat AS the ball sailed away like feather in breeze the baseball dean, like many a man before him was smitter with golf fever.
 Asked a few years ago which he liked better, golf or baseball, he re piled:
 Well I would rather play baseball than see a golf match, but l would much rather play golf than see a baseball game" And so in the winter and the summer, the captain swings his herculean frame over the plbllc links at Jackson park, clad in klhck- CTS and playing tolerably good game And now in order to be in- separable from the links he has un" dertaken to manage the DiNmoor club, where members will reduce thelr annual dues, by allowing the public to play at daily fee. except on Sat urday, Sundays and holidays

POLISH CHAMP ID
 MEET BIG GERMAN
Stan. zbyszko Tackles Burkarth
 at Turner Hall Next Wednesday

A worlds champion at 1 years Of age, is rare these days, History of American sports will show that only seven men retained worlds fame at this stage in life. Of this number, Stanislaus Zbyszko, the Polish heavy weight wrestler, who meets Charles Burkarth, the German champion at Turner hall next Wednesday night, February 1, did not attain his title until he had reached two-score of years. By his decisive victory over 'Stranglcr" Lewis at Madison Square Garden, last winter, he came into possession of the worlds wrestling title, thereby achieving q lifetime de- sire.
 Zbyszko, called by Americans Bis cuits' has in his long wrestling career engaged in over 1000 battles on mat. and with the exception Of defeat by the late Frank Gotch, he has never been beaten.
 Lost Through q I1uke
 The champion has always main- tained that Gotch took an unfair ad- vantage of him in thebout, and as a result, he lost the first fall in seven seconds, one of the quickest ever recorded in the mat sport. According to Zyb's version. when he walked to the center of the mat in the bout with Gotch, the Iowan Farmer Boy instead of grasping his hand in friendly shake, quickly made a dive at him, resulting in the fall. Overcome by surprise and unable to regain his confidence, Zyb was again downed by the American champion after a half-hour of gruel- ling work.
 Finally Won Title
 Zbyszko repeatedly challenged Gotch for return match but was never accom- mmodated Shortly after his return to this country from Poland, he began a campaign that brought him matches with Joe Stetcher, Earl Cad dock, and "Strangler" Lewis, then the title holder. He defeated all three, and after winning the title, he gave Lewis chance to regain it, but the Kentuckian failed. Zbyszko will come here direct after his championship match with Dick Daviscourt at Boston next Monday.
