old Comiskey pennant-winning ma

free in saying so. There is even some

The association officers decided 10
work for more local tournaments. No
tournament dates were set, although
it was suggested the city champion
ship be held when the new Bracken-
ridge Park clubhouse is completed,
Work has stopped on the clubhouse
for lack of funds. The association
will attempt to have city warrants
issued TO the contractor TO the amount
Of $4,000 TO 1000. 10 be POPULATED
in June. thus permitting construction
to continue.
The Texas open championship next
winter probably will be held later than
usual. perhaps about the middle Of
February. so that a complete circuit
of tournaments through Texas and
other Southern states may be worked
up in order TO prove more attractive
to the most famous professionals.
An idea brought out at the meeting
was the ACCESSIBILITY of equipping
municipal golf course employees with
police power so that all rules might
be more effectually enforceod.

Catcher Must Not Get Chickenhearted While Chasing Foul

knockout. Papke beat him Ketchel
was absolutely reckless and fearless.
The kno kout didn't have any effect
on his confidence. and he knocked
Papke out in return match. But If
Ketchel had been beaten the way
Papke beat him early in his career.
probably he would never have been a
champion.
Firpo and Floyd johnson would
make a great match. Both are young,
strong. confident. tough and able to
hit. The winner Of that fight would
DE a good match for Dempsey.
As for the champion, no fighter in
the world ever took better care of his
physical condition. Dempsey trains
all the time as il about TO start hard
work for a battle. Right now he is
going through several weeks of daily
boxing. and looks very fit. IL he ever
loses the championship it won't be
for lack of condition. There is just
one handicap against Dempsey. No
gymnasium training can take the place
of real bout now and then. and
Dempsey has been kept out of the
ring a long time He must have been
at the top OF his form when he was
fighting every month, as he was dur
ing the year before the battle at To-
ledo. But when Dempsey goes into
camp he'll get the toughest lot OF
heavyweights he can gather, and tell
them TO try to knock him out. Every
day will be a battle for him then.
It's the way he trains. II Firpo wasn't
among the championship possibilities
he could learn lot about fighting by
getting job on Dempsey's training
staff.

OVERRUN SAYS GENE
Sarazen Says Chances Taken OF
Greens Will Pay.

"One mistake of most golfers, par
ticularly beginners, is that they play
safety-first methods when they gel
on the green's says Gene Sarazen
national open champion.
"Such methods are all right if you
have only a hole or two to 90. and
know that by halving you can win
but on the whole it is the daring
player who meets with most success
on the greens. -,
UNLESS conditions of the match
demand careful play, l never sneak
up on a hole; i always try to sink
the put.
"A golfer should always bear in
mind that he has no chance to sink d
putt unless his ball travels at least
to the cup. That is why | claim il is
far better to overrun the cup than
fail to reach il"

wrung the hands Of well-wishers in
the st. Anthony hotel lobby Friday
night just before starting for the
Station and the return trip TO New
York.
1t was something of an ''unoffi-
cial remark" and might have re-
ferred to 1924, or 1925 or even
springs after that, but it cannot BE-
denied that those words indicate
the Giants haven't given up the TO-
ton of coming back to San Antonio
to train.
President II. J. Benson Of the
San Antonio club, with whom Mr..
McGraw conferred briefly on the
subject of 1924 New York train

The San Antonio bears gave a
creditable account OF themselves
against the Giants on a muddy field
Friday afternoon, with only a few
hundred fans looking on. The Giants
won, . to 3, in contest that required
only an hour and % minutes to fin
ish.
or Bob Couchman had his tamale
curve working after the first inning,
in which the Giants made four hits
and two runs, and pitched shutout
ball-aided by some snappy fielding on
the part of Whitney, Meyers, Gallo

He surrendered the hill to Dewey Mar
shall, the loose-jointed gent from Vir-
ginia, at the beginning of the sixth.
Marshall was walloped rather freely
but kept the Giant scores down pretty
well.

base on balls was issued by the
Bruin pitchers.
Feature a Triple Play.
The feature of the game was triple
play by Galloway and Gross. 1t hap
pened in the fourth inning. Kelly and
OConnell had singled. Snyder lined
to Galloway, who raced over to first,
stepped on the bag and snapped the
ball to Gross before Kelly could free
himself from the mud and get back to
the second sack.
The Giants got seventeen hits, all
but two of them singles. while the
Bears annexed but five blows, yet the
local outfit made better use of their
safeties. Everett Booze got his single
back of short with the bases full and
two out in the fourth inning. scoring
two runs, and RED" McKee's double
came with man on base in the ninth,
and a sacrifice fly by Todt scored the
run from third.
Ryan pitched five innings for the
major leaguers and allowed four hits,
two in the fourth and two in the fifth.
Hugh McQuillan twirled the rest of
the distance and gave but one blow.
McKee's double, but walked four. He
likewise famed five. indicating he had
lots of stuff on the ball.
