CHAMP
AND PARTNER
WIN MATCH
Havers and 0ckenden Win
First American Exhibition
From Ross and CapeIIo.

PINEHURST, N. c., Dec. 25.-
Coming from behind when five
down for the first nine holes played
OF their 36-hole match, Arthur G..
Havers, the British open champion,
and James Ockenden, holder Of the
French open title, won their first
exhibition match in America, yester-
day, when they defeated Alec Ross.
of Detroit, and Joe Capello, of
Bangor, up.
Ross and Capello got away to q
flying start and had the English
men five down for the first nine
but at the end Of the eighteenth
Havers and Ockenden were but one
down.
Going to the fifteenth the match
was all square and for the first
time during the play the Britons
assumed the lead when Havers
holed a 25-yard chip shot from the
sand for birdie two. They man
tanned their advantage TO the end.
Students Of play who watched the
match were unanimous in their
opinion that Havers is one OF the
best golfers developed in Britain
within the past two decades. His
drives were long and although ne
experienced some difficulty with the
hard dirt tees, his performance all
around was better than had been
expected.

ST. LOUIS RING
FANS MOURN

Threatening Permanent Blind
ness of Babe Asher
Affects Bugs.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 25.-Fistic fans
and followers in st. Louis are
Grieved to learn of the misfortune
that is threatening permanent
blindness to Babe Asher, former
local bantamweight and one-time
A. e. F. champion.
Asher, now residing in Chicago,
has been under the care of special
lists since last February. He has
not pulled on a glove in almost a
year and there is little chance OF
his again entering the arena. His
physicians are hopeful of bringing
about a partial recovery of his
sight, but his condition is under
stood to be serious.
Friends of the little fellow have
protested the use of his name in
connection with a fistic show at
Akron, Ohio. The promoters adj
vertised Asher would appear on
New Year Day.
Few boxers were more popular
than Johnny on his return from
France. Under the guidance OF
Sammy Eckert he gave st. Louis its
first big fistic thrill when he stayed
the limit against Jimmy Wilde in
bout at the Coliseum.
Wilde hammered him to the floor
repeatedly, but Asher always came
back for more. Later he drifted
away from Eckert and moved to

108, 401 PLAY ON
CHICAGO GOLF
LINKS
And Still Others Hope to Play
Round or Two During
Xmas Week.

CHICAGO. Dec. Is. - The last
ticket of the season, No. 1Os. 4O1, was
issued Saturday by the Lincoln Park
Golf Club, J. Harry Healy, a North
Side professional, being the recipient.
The course. however, is stf1l being
played by a number of. enthusiasts
who hope to celebrate Christmas
week with a round or two of golf.
Copious rains late in the spring,
which kept the course from being
patronized almost month after the
Jackson and Garfield links had
opened, undoubtedly prevented
record attendance at Lincoln Park.
In 1922 there was total of los, 1898
tickets issued, while in 1921 the num-
Der reached 108,128.
Agitation is still rife for additional
playing space which, however, could
only be obtained by filling in the
Diversey Beach swimming hole or
using ground north of the present
links.

There may be a change in the

But while cannot give him first
place this year I cannot say enough
in admiration of Jones. His great
game can stand being placed Sec
ond because he has so many won
derful years ahead of him. After
years Of trying, youthful years, he
arrived q great victor in the ma
ttona1 open.
It is difficult to say that one
golfer is better than another be-
cause on certain days any one of at
least ten weH-known players can
beat any one of the others.
Bobby Jones gave q very inter-
esting reason for not winning at
FIOssmOOr. He said that for some
unaccOuntable reason he could not
concentrate at match play. No
one knows better than / that one
must concentrate at match play.
wonder whittier this young
mans mind was wandering and
where 1T came to rest; for he is
still learning the lessons Of a
schOOlbOy, but even 50 vagrant
fancies often carry one far
afield.
Whatever caused his mind to
wander he has no reason to worry
about his game for he is certain to
be national champion, and he will
be the first one from below the
Mason and Dixon line. That fact
will hold double interest for it
is fairly certain that golf was first
played in this country below that
line, but there were neither cham
pionships nor golf reporters in those
days.
Bobby is becoming better each
year as he grows stronger and
more mature. His long drives and
wonderful recoveries from trouble
are features of his play. Physical
ly he is one Of the strongest OF
present day golfers, and he has
good weight which he gets splendid
ly into each shot.
His peculiar style is difficult to
copy; il has q world Of power, and
there is no one i'm the game i'm
this country today who is as
powerful as our national open
champion. Only such wrists as
Bobby's could keep his clubheadf

Bobby played little golf this year,
combining his competitive 4 efforts
almost entirely to the two national
events. He seemed much more seri-
ous-minded this year. and that 3
saying q great deaf-,for he mas
always been a serious player.
To me the only improvement of
his game over last year is his older
mind. With his strength his game
should last for a long time and for
years to come we shall be hearing
of Bobby Jones. Even business
cannot rob him OF his exuberant
strength.
