GOLF OFFICIALS
WAR ON SOF 7
CENTERS
Curb Long Game, Is Intention
of ''Men Behind
Pastime."

When the golf ball was standard
lied it was believed that the tend
eney to make the bali more lively
would be curbed. The manufac-
turers, however, have not been
bothered much by the restrictions,
and the ball is getting faster.
At the open championship at
Troon and at Inwood there was
some tremendously long driving,
especially when the wind was in
the players favor.
Golf officials both here and
abroad are already at work on
some means to curb the long game.
The most difficult courses are
now being played by crack players
IN low scores. Course records come
so fast that 1t has become a
common practice rather than q
notable achievement.
The rubber cored ball completely
revolutionized the game, and there
is strong sentiment among the
conservative to reduce the re.
siliencys Of the golf ball.
One Of the suggestions which il
said to be receiving some considera'
ton from the officials is TO abolish
the soft center and replace it with
a solid center. It Is the soft-cen
tered ball which has stimulated thu
long game.

Md. They do say that down
Annapolis way the fish are biting
with regularity" Hardheads, Of
the big variety, are being taken
in large numbers, and Norfolk
spots are running true to form. 1t

get enough fish for his table and
possibly some for his friends, at
the present time, from the deep
waters of the bay.
The advance guard of the trout
family have already put in their
appearance and several good-siZed
fish have been taken.
AS the season advances no better
fishing grounds, within radius of
100 miles, can be found for the
monster sea trout and blue fish

Ln he NJ III 10

The angler is also offered the
waters of the Severn river to try
his luck. Protected by law against
nets of any description. it's waters

finny tribes.
During the months Of Septem-
Der and October the Severn is
| noted for it's rock fishing. Many
monster fish are taken from its
waters by trolling, casting and
still fishing
Artificial lures, notably Captain
Huntington's Drone, have produced
the best results for trollers.
No better bats for hardheads,
spot, trout, rock or blue fish, can
be had than bloodworms, soft
crabs or cut fresh spot.

Furthermore, Philadelphia
Promises Knockout Victory
Next Monday Night.
Nv MAX KASE.

DELANCO, N. j.. July 19.-In the
mind of Lew Tender, a new light
weight champion has already been
crowned in succession to Benny
Leonard. And the new champion Is
Lew Tender. The only formality
that remains is the actual knocking
out Of Leonard in their bout next
Monday night, and this, Tender
AYERS, will be accomplished.
"I will win and by a knock out,
the Philadelphia challenger said, in
the same matter Of fact manner one
would use in discussing a certainty.
ct had Leonard's number in our last
fight but this time I'll score more
decisively. I feel excellent and
won't have the slightest difficulty
in making the weight"
HE Is at the 1876 pound limit
now" Phil Glassman. Tenders man
ager interrupted. LEV will win
sure. He Is in great shape and will
cop by a knockout"
The challenger appeared in good
condition. He was told of reports
that his right hand was in bad shape.
Before he could answer, Glassman
chimed In.
Say, there is nothing to that.
Lewis hands are in wonderful shape.
They were never better"
Tender was asked if it was not
disconcerting to be the short man
in the betting. The early odds have
made Leonard g. to-5 favorite.
Tender shook his head in the mega.
tive. Glassman supplied the answer.
Say, betting odds! Odds don't
mean anything. They don't always
forecast the result. We don't care
If Leonard Is 10-to-1 favorite. Leon
ard should be favorite. He is the
champion, isn't he"
Tender said he had no special
plan Of battle. So many things come
up in the course of hard bout, he
said. that the original plan is lost.
But I'll be in there to win and
I'll win by a knockout" he declared.

Hagen Meets Same
Fate At Inwood
AS Troon

Walter Hagen had something
of the same experience at In
wood that he had abroad. At
Troon Hagen said the curious
thing about his golf was that
whenever he made a bad shot
it usually cost him two strokes
instead of the customary one.
"These things hurt" he said,
speaking about his playing at
Troon. "You can pick up one
stroke, but it is very hard to
pick up two"
Hagen has all along had a
mental condition about his
game this year which has not
helped him. He has felt that
this was not to be his year,
and he has found this feeling
a difficult thing to shake off.
The dash of his game has been
lost temporarily and he has
been constantly struggling to
accomplish much.

Years before, the writer. saw

Goodman was as game as

While Dundee was whipping
Bowen here, Mcdonald was hand
ing out a stiff lacing to Johnny
Reno in a twelve-round contest at
Allentown. Reno appeared here
several times after leaving the
navy and is known as a fast, clever
boxer. Mcdonald had no trouble in
reaching him, however, flooring him
four times in the last round. The
bell saved Reno from hearing the
brides sing.
Mcdonald has never battled
around here, but he is well-known
in PENNSYLVANIA where he has
fought such lads as Johnny Leon
ard. Allentown Johnny Dundee, who
met Lew Tender, and George Wy
man, the coal fields champion.
Tonight's main bout is SUBJ

hand keeping him from a date

Kilbane Will See Two
Big Fights In
Gotham

NEW YORK, July 49,
Johnny Kilbane, the former
featherweight champion, will be
here to take in the Leonard
Tender and Criqui-Dundee
bouts next week. Johnny is
anxious to see how it was that
he was so easy for the little
Frenchman.
This is just a matter of
curiosity with him. He has no
idea of fighting again. Johnny
thinks that Dundee will prove
too tough for Criqui, but it will
be a close fight.

CHARLEY WHITE SLAMS
MITCHELL INTO DEFEAT

NEW YORK. July 19.-Charley
White. Chicago boxer, is now in line
to meet the winner Of the Benny
Leonard-Lew Tender battle. White
earned this right by knocking out
Richie Mitchell, of Milwaukee, in
the fourth round of furious battle
last night. Mitchel1's manager
tossed in the sponge after Richie
was sent to the mat for a count of
nine.
Although Mitchell was beaten he
showed a flash of speed in the
second round when he daZed White
with fierce hooks to the jaw. The
Chicago boxer for a minute ap-
peared groggy, but came back with
Q remarkable display Of gameness
and battered Mitchell to the ropes.

The Phils are only nineteen

now there are no clubs between

Eleven and half games blanket

The American League is diff
