championship. Neither the griiiron
nor the diamond could have furnished
a more striking example of last
ditch fighting spirit directed and sup
ported by wonderful self control and
coordination of mind, eye and
muscle.
Every Hoppe enthusiast who sat
through the early stages of the
match and witnessed Schafer pile
up a big lead and then saw his favor
ite undaunted and unshaken, fight
back against those odds and finally
surmount a wall that seemed un-
surmountable, had a right to a pride
in his man. That fight was made
in the face of a physical handicap
which obviously led the present
champion to avoid masse shots and
which bothered his stroke, yet his
cold steel determination in the final
points literally swamped his oppo-
nent. 1t was grand match. for
Schaefer was not lacking in nerve,
skill or determination as his run of
PA points showed.
1t was an exhibition of the kind
of spirit which every foot ball coach
in the country strives to inStill into
his charges. For it is the ability to
fight a losing fight undiscouraged,
with determination undimmed yet
with coolness that avoids mistakes
and penalties. that wins foot ball
games and makes champions in every
line Of athletic endeavor.

There was report today that Sara
zen formally requested Briarcliff au-
thoritieS for permission to go to Eng
land.
If the open champion has done this
1t would appear that he is counting
upon a favorable decision. SaraZen S
situation briefly is as follows: Being
a professional golfer, title means a
great deal to him. Indeed, a title was
never so valuable as now. AS every
one knows, championship titles are
not easy to acquire. In lawn tennis,
for example, the margin between the
topliner and those who would occupy
his position is not too close.
And so with boxing and, in fact,
practically all championship games.
The champion is assured of a more or
less lengthy tenure of his throne.
Golf Champs seldom Repeat.
In golf it is practically the rule
that champions do not repeat. This
applies alike to the professional and
the amateur. 1t follows. therefore,
after the better his chance of wear
holding his place in the public mind
Entering the British open, the United
States open and the Z. CT. a. Journeys
he has three chances for additional
fame, whereas if he remains in this
country he has but two. 1t is doubt
full, in view of this fact, whether he
would not be strongly tempted to go
to Troon even in the face of the most
definite objections by the powers that
be in Briarcliff Lodge.

ty-three cars of truck leaving the

Brownsville takes first place in

The heavy increase in the mixed

to the fact that solid cars of any
