That he is not a thoroughgoing
success as prize fight manager -
due to the fact that the boxing game
has been, and Is. happy hunting

almost pathetic at this merry

No better proof Of this Is needed
than the fact that wills. q potential
million dollar asset as tate as last
summer, Is now barely solvent, IN e
fistic sense. He has been allowed TO
depreciate beyond all reaso just be
cause Mullins thinks that modesty is
q more seemIy virtue than garrulous

He has never made q serious at.

the public. and as result the

title is now almost dead issue.

Morgan In charge Of Wills affairs!
They would have talked that
brunette person into q match with
Dempsey long since or had the pub

that Jack would be discredited IL he
declined the issue. They know that
publicity is the one and only

The matter OF opinion must Or
necessity project itself into the job
OF placing these men one against
another. I hesitate to express such
opinions because of personal feel
ings in the matter and because OF
my own consciousness that ! am q
golf player more than golf
critic.
/ would like to see Bernard
Darwin, the great English golf
critic, take the time to list our first
ten amateurs and cite his reasons
for his selections. 1t would be In
teresting to see how his choices
compared with my own.
However, here is my list Of the
first ten amateur golfers in Amer
lea:
Jess Sweefser, national anna
teur champion; metropolitan cham
s.RoberA T. Bobby Jones,
Southern amateur champion.
3-RudOIph RUDY Knepper,
traus-Mississippi amateur cham
piOn.
4-Francis Ouimet, former ma
tiOnal amateur and national open
champion.
robert Gardner, twice ma
tiOnal amateur champion.
6-Jesse GuilfOrd, national ana
teur champion in 1921.
7-JoIIn G. Anderson, New
s-w. c. FOwnes, jr, Pitts
9-Jack Neville, San Francisco.
IO-Edward Held, national pub
lie links champion.
Last year picked Jones as
Americas best amateur player, hut
Sweetser must be given preference
this year by right of might. Sweet
ser not only is the champion. but
in winning the championship he
defeated Jones. This he accom-
plished despite the fact that Jones
shot perfect golf during their match
at Brookline.
Sweetser was called upon for
super golf, and he delivered it.
Any fair-minded critic, therefore,
must regard Sweetser as just a
little bit better than Jones. And
l say "just little bit better" be-
cause it would not be possible to
be better than Jones by any wider
margin, as think Sweetser himself
would admit.
Sweetser has the same youth
that Jones has, aud, II anything,
he has more physical strength
than the stOclIy Bobby. Sweetser
is a giant Of boy, q pure-blOOded
AngIO-SaxOn from the mountains
Of Kentucky. He Is what the
Piedmont sectiOn would call a
mountain man. His big, handsome,
straight physical make up an :
nOunces to all who behold him
that here IL a mounta'neer come
down into the IOWlands for a look
around.
While Sweetser came from Todd
county, Kentucky, he began his golf
at an early age in st. Louis. His
game developed remarkably within
the last few years. He is our only
amateur champion ever to take the
title on the jump. His first time
up, he COPIED, as the saying goes,
whereas all the rest of US had to go
through the many years of near
wins before we finally captured the
cup.
SWeetser was never near-cham-
pion. He got ready in 1922 and
when he came on he moved down
everything in front of him, and
Jack Dempseyed his path to the
title, sending out all his competition
feet first.
Sweetser looks to me like the
best playing amateur golfer in the
world today.

Grisby is a left-handed hitter.
He will be given every opportunity
to qualify, although the Cubs are
overstocked with batsmen of that
type. They however, have not too
many good ones that they cannot
find a place for Grigsby If he can
deliver with the stick.
He has youth in his favor, for he
was born March "a, 1901, and to
date has had only two years of
professional experience. He has
speed, and because of it is a natural
fielder and a ball hound, as Scout
Doyle calls him.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-01-22

That Grisby displayed earmarEs
Of promise when he first entered
professional ball i'm 1921 is shown
by the fact that the New York
Yankees took him on their spring
trip that year.

! Owing to his lack of experience
and youth he was farmed out to
Sioux City in the Western League
and after playing there twenty days
was shipped TO Albany, N. Y,
which club sold him to Sapulpa,
Okla. With this team he establish
ed himself as a wonderful throwing
outfielder and slugger of unusual
! promise.
Four home runs in single game
/ is how GrigSby applies the wood to
the sphere. Unlike most young left.
handed batters he has mastered the
habit of pulling at the plate and
steps straight into the ball, which
enables him to get his weight into
his swings.
! He is not a big fellow, weighing
only $50 pounds and, standing five
feet nine but he is strongly con
str1ucted and has the stamina to
stand the strain of playing every
day in a hot race.

NEW LIFE SCHEDULE ENDS
YOUTH AT AGE SIS.

Members of the French academy are
giving attention to what should con-
Stitutc a proper division of life. They
announce that age 81 is the end of
youth and the beginning OF middle age.
Thus the period of youth is given
half of what was previously regarded
rs the span of life. 40 years. Science
is doing all in its power TO extend
life. and recourse to statistics shows
that the average age at death has ad-
vanced materially within the last 81
years. The time may not be far off
when the dream of well-rounded ca
rccr of 100 years is ordinary, rather
than exceptional.
Critics of the French academy de-
clare it a mistake To encourage the
race TO be young. They prefer the
picture show paints in Back to
Mcthuselah.- where children. ace born
articulate and. after devOting four
years 10 the fancies of youth. spend
the remaining hundreds OF years in
study and thought. II is claimed the
race needs maturity more than youth
and the science which urges, people to
extend their years of preparation for
life may result in more harm than
good.
There is. happily. a disposition TO
continue well into the advanced years
activities which once were considered
part of middle life. II the French
savants follow the reasoning which
has caused them TO end youth at 80,
they should place old age at so or
higher. 1t is likely more persons
have died as result of their own
decision that they were old than be-
cause they were old. The allotted span
means little to those who are really
interested in life and carry on
its functions NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

YANKS FAVORED BUT
ANY WORLD SERIES
is EVEN MONEY BET
Gambling on Games Be-
gins; 1t Just Can't
Be Stopped.
BY JOHN Il. FOSTER.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York. Sept. 2..-Bettiny has
begun on the world series with the
New York Yankees slight favorites
over the Giants.
Gambling is the most rcprehensible
thing connected with baseball-or, for
that matter. with any sport. when
money moves in. sport drops out. But
apparently the betting can't be stop
ped. There have been few bets
placed on the Yankees Mt q TO ). But
these bettors were foolish. Quite 4
lot of Giant money has ben offered at
even. And, after all. those are only
fair terms. Any normal world series
is an even money bet.
Had Pittsburg done as well against
New York this season as il did last
there might have been different story
this year. But McGraw has been
pounding the idea into his men all
summer that they had TO beat Pitts
burg to Win their third penannt and
the result was thirteen victories for
the Giants. as against nine last year.
That difference again robbed Max
Carey of a chance TO crow. For years
the Pittsburg center fielder has been
broadcasting his ambition 10 beat the
Giants for pennant before ne quit
the game. He almost achieved his
ambition in 1921. but Pittsburg blew
the pennant right under his nose.
The Yanks will have TO keep their
best foot foremost from nov on If they
are TO make the 100-victory record
on which they have set SO much
store. They still need several games 20
make it and that means winning two
out of every three games left to he
played.
Ii will be the best thing in the
world for 'tlem II they keep on shoot
ing for the century mark. 4 team
that has clinched the penanut is in
danger Of going stale before the world
series rolls around. Its players are
like man who has hoed corn all
day and is ready 10 sit down in the
cool of the evening and swap lies
with his fellowmen. The Yanks need
something TO keep them on edge IL
they are TO show their real form in
the series. Shooting for the hundred
mark would provide them with the
proper tonic.
