A RTHuR HANERS, who beat the

five other leading GOLF stars from the
United States in the recent Troon
struggle.
Havers is a plodder. For long
time Ne has been recognized IN Eng

younger players In 1914. when he
vas lis years old. he qualified for the

resembles that OF some OF the older
heads than the younger generation
DosS YOUNG. the Giant outhelder,
N is another one Of those persons
who so around carrying baseball
teams on their shoulders and never
let anyone know about IL.
When Young hits--and he usually
does the Giants win ban games.
when Young slumps. the Giants
stump 1t seems he steers their dcs-
tiny and in so much as they are lead
lng the league by safe margin,
Young's power Is easily calculated
What he. Max Carey and few
other unheraIded stars need Is n good
press agent. who would spread their
fame.

w pastimc in the American league
but it's not always stratcgicaIly sue
ccssful. Ed Rommeli. the Athletic
star. threw him four wide ones In a
crucial moment Of game UP at the

Wimbledon championships took the
life out OF the play. The spectators
and fans turnout the world wanted
10 see the hid from Yonkers go into
the finals at least. He was "sec.

Johnstons superior experience and
speed. however. lroke down Richard

for $4,000 10 protect the promoters
Of their scheduled July q bout. Per
haps there was a personal motive II
that instance. because both Leonarr
and Tender proved themselves un

OfTiara Wood and Gerald Patterson
administered a sound drubbing f
William Tilden and young Vincen
Richards last season. there was grea
commotion over the situation and al
effort was made TO link up some new
and more formidable combinations
But so far nothing has develope,
