The first is the superior caliber Of
opponents met by the men as they
advance up the pugilistic ladder.
The second is the desire Of the
boxers to protect themselves from
Disagreement and their thus putting
a stress on defence which they did
not show at the start Of their
careers. when their whole object was
to beat their opponents as quickly
and expeditiously as possible.
The third reason is the protection
of their hands, the tools Of their
trade and the Implements of their
profession. As the men went along
they realized that everything de-
pended on keeping their hands in
good shape, and they therefore were
averse to hitting with their full
power for fear OF injuring their
hands.
The fourth reason is the loss of
desire to win by q knockout and be-
ing content to defeat an opponent on
points. Boxers as a class are kind
and humane and they do not seek to
do more harm to an opponent than
Is absolutely necessary.

GLENNA COLLETT NATIONAL
 WOMEN'S TITLE

White Sulphur Springs. w. Va, September 3O.-Miss Glenna Collett 1s-year old Providence girl. is the new golf champion of the United States. crowned today on the course of the Green Briar club. She turned back Mrs. William A. Gavin. brilliant English player, in a selntillating 3e- hole match In the international wom- en's tournament. Outpiaying her rival almost continuously. driving longer and truer balls and taking ad- vantage of every opportunity. the American girl demonstrated again that youth must be served.
 The score was up and to play.
 The game was good at all points and both played out the match to the finish. only one hole being conceded. After driving twice Into the lake on the sixteenth, Mrs. Gavin picked up her ball.
 Miss Collett played more steadily. moved with more ease, fought vita less show of nerves after the first few holes than did her rival. Bril- liant recoveries from miserable traps and bunkers, stronger in the pinches. the crucial moments when a tide can be turned most easily In any con- test. the young member of the Me- tacomet club was mistress of tho fairways and the greens. The early gains obtained were most discourage ing to the English woman, although the latter never quit trying.
 It was the third time that Mrs Ga- win had battled her way into the finals of the American in the national tournament, only to lose the title.
 Miss Alexa Stirling. the Atlanta star in 1919, fell short in that match also. But Mrs. Gavin can go back to her home on the edge of the Hun tercombe club links with the Ca- nadlan championship safely tucked away for another ear. for she played superior golf in that engagement.
