The Funeral or Jonah

With two big league scouts-Paul Kricheu of the Yankees and Kitty" Bransfield of the Chicago Cubs look ing on-Eddie LePard uncorked some of his smartest curve stuff of the sea- son against Waterbury. LePard's s bender had a great break" and al- though Cosgrove, King and other Brassco batters tried to walk into" them their efforts were futile. Eddie famed six batters and allowed five scattered hits. Only once was he in danger. That was in the fourth round when the visitors filled the bags. In that session hits by Long and Dona- hue, a pass and a sacrifice flyout, net ter the Brass city outfit their only tallieS of the game (tWo).
 In the words of the self satisfied fan in the rear of the press box ''LePard pitched a helluva good game"
 Moose" Fuller also pitched a fairly good game, although the Derbs found him for nine pings At intervals however, Fuller had trouble in man aging his ''spitter."
 LePard was also ace high in the willowing. A single and double full ly atoned for his strikeout the last time he faced Fuller. Eddie marked up Bridgeport's first tally in the third when he singled, advanced on SchmehPs error, scoring on Mi11er's long rap to right field.

BY BILLY EVANS.

Golf is considered the most dim
cult sport to master.
II takes years TO develop the skill
that makes for a champion.
Yet of all sport titles none is held
on such uncertain tenure as that of
the golf champion. Usually II is q
mighty brief one.
During the summer we have had
a couple Of striking examples of
this.
Jock Hutchison, the British open
champion of 1921. went abroad to
defend his title. He made a show
ing worthy Of a champion. How
ever it was not good enough to re-
tain the title. Walter Hagen won
the British honors.
Recently at Chicago. Jim Barnes.
the United States champion, was up
against a classy field. He played
well. but Gene Sarazen did consid-
erably better

In the American open event was
Walter Hagen, just back from his
British triumph. He was one Of the
many golfers who bowed TO Sarazen's s
prowess.

In tennis Bill Tilden relgns SUI
preme among the men. while Molla
Mallory and Susanne Lenglen are
easily the class of the feminine stars.
It is much the same in baseball.
Ty Cobb year after year has led the
American League in batting. Occa-
sionally some batsman will carry of
the honors for year. but Cobb in
variably RECEIVERS the title the fol-
lowing season.
The element OF luck figures largely
in every sport. Golf is no excep-
ton. AS a matter OF fact, all other
things being equal. luck usually de-
termines the winner in any Of the big
golf matches.
Recently 1 discussed this feature
of play with one of the games
greatest players.
Here was the way he sized It up;
In every big championship match
there are perhaps so players whose
golfing ability is about equal. There
fore, It is only natural that the
championship should be decided by
the breaks OF the game"
Keen competition from q large
field also plays a big part in defeat
ing a golf champion.
No wonder a professional golfer
uses his title to every possible advan-
tage while he has it.

Dempsey May Battle Big
Jack Johnson in Hdrana

may go down II there are enough
loose pesos around to make Il worth
while.
Kearns IS peeved because the In
diana officials wouldn't let his cham
pion knockout Bill Brennan again.
There are some grounds for Kearns
to object to having his charge
branded as a prize fighter when
Benny Leonard got away twice in
that State as a boxer.
Kearns claims there is no one for
Dempsey to meet out Of the set-up
class with the exception of Wills
and no promoter has made him an
offer.
The chances are that he will get
a bid for a Dempsey-Wills fight
within few days from Tom
O'Rourke, the matchmaker Of the
New Republic Club which has leas-
ed the Polo Grounds.
O'Rourke says he will make a
proposition to Dempsey If the cham
pion' will agree TO fight during Oc-
tober. He already talked to Wills
and the challenger is willing to
fight. he says.
The Polo Grounds oan be fitted to
accomm odate 10000 spectators and
the promoters OF the club ought 10
be able to make a fair offer 10 the

The horseshoe pitching tourna-
ment died out toward the end Of

Grabbing and fishing ala Kee Bee

low the light right into the net. no

when he stopped at Front and Mar
ket, in five hours time. Not a single
machine had a bit of trouble. Usual

Schweitzer tried to put the jinx on
the run at Stockley, but did not sue

disappointed because he did not
have half dozen blow-outs. George
Dawson was disappointed also, be-
cause he didn't have to stop
