Argentinian Ends FarcicaI Af- fair In Second By His Deadly Right Arm Blow On "ItaI- ian Jacks" Jaw

HAVANA, June 1O.-Latin Ameri- can crowd of 7,0S0 people sat steam ing for hours in packed arena Sun day for five-minute glimpse of Luis Angelo Firpo in the act of abusing Rickety Jack Herman, the New YorN Italian heavyweight prize fighter. F'irpo paved Herman's chin with a brusque right smash in the second round and brought to close the box ing show which had kept Havana in d father of anticipation for three weeks.
 It was no fight. but an execution. Herman had been knocked out be- fore by F'irpo, who took five rounds, however on that previous occasion
 Firpo was much taller and more bulky than Herman and outweighed him 29 pounds. The Argentinians; weight was 214 pounds and Herman,s 1855. They were obviously a farcical match, but this did not diminish the enthusiasm of the Latin Americans from all the republics, who were there to see one of their own lambaste a New Yorker.
 There were delegations at the ringside from Buenos Aires, Firpos home town; from Colon, Uruguay, from the West Indies, and from ob- scure places up and down the .sthmus less known to fame than Firpo him self. Owing to the small capacity of the arena there was a wild jam Of excited but disappointed customers outside the place as the fight got under way.
 In the first round Firpo was wild as usual and was using his left only as rake to brush away Herman's guard and clear the path for huge l heaves of his right fist. Firpo banged l Herman twice in the ribs with his right and pushed his left into the ! Italians face. Herman laughed as | l.. width of the Broad Atlantic. Herman threw in a right to the heart and another to the ear. Her man outboXed Firpo. dancing away as the Argentinian giant ploddingly pursued. On points the round was not much force and Firpo's were landing with solid thumps. Two rights on the head had Herman dizzy at the end of round one, and he woo- bled all about the ring looking for his own corner.
 as round two began. Herman jabbed to the face and flung right to the cheek. They traded rights to the body. Exchanges were about even in a rather swift scrimmage until Fir pos belated right mitt at last ar- rived on Herman's jaw. Jack tum- bled and stayed down.
 Firpo leaves Monday for Mexico City to do the same thing there to Jim Hubbard. He was to have fought a man named Joe White in Havana originally. but a welterweight spar ring partner of Whites spoiled the arrangements by stopping White twice in five minutes in gymnasium ] work out So Herman was substi- tuted. 4t
 Firpo said he would be back in I New York by June 2S to meet Jess | Willard.

LOCALS TO OPEN LONG HOME STAY AT WOOD TN LITTLE ROCK SERIES
Two New Barons Join Team Here Monday-Cox And Moore Will Probably Pitch Openers

Joe Dunn's tinxharassed Barons have returned home. and during the next two weeks will attempt to re- gain some of the ground lost on that disastrous trip to Atlanta.
 After losing seven straight games to the Atlanta Crackers, 1t Is only fitting that the Dunnsmen should be given 8 weak adversary to enable them to catch up on their breathing. Sc Monday afternoon sees the open ing of series with the very lowest team in the league. the Little Rock Travellers.
 A double header will be played between the Barons and Travellers Monday, the result of a rained out game in Traveller Baron series back in May. Four games will be played with the Pebbles Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Tho Barons' schedule for the home stay just opening is:
 Little Rock. June II. 12. IS.
 Memphis. June 14. 15. 16.
 Nashville, June IS, 19. 20, 21.
 Chattanooga. June 22. 2323.
 Monday afternocn's double-header will begin at 2:15 o'clock. Single games will begin at 33o. Team Is . Puzzle
 Baron fandom has about given up the puzzle of Joe Dunns men. Since the beginning of the season. that team has been pulling the most unex- pected and unexplainable things. whats the matter with the Barons?" has ceased to become a by-word in curbstone circles; it is joke now, and a worneut joke. at that
 Dunn undoubtedly has a. classy lineup. It would be hard to find a team in the league that could stack up, man for man. more favorably than the Barons can. Yet, as a team, they have proven as effective a S side pockets on a. pigs hide.
 o O O
 New Barons Coming
 Two new Barons join the team at Redwood Monday. They are Catcher Claude Yam. secured from Little Rcck via the waiver route, and In fielder Holt Miner, secured from Memphis. With the signing of Vann, Cecil Hammond, second string catcher, will be released, while Tommy Tay Tor was sent to Memphis in return for Milner.
 The Barons will be at home for two weeks now. Time is favorable for Joe Dunn to doctor his ailing team. and drive the demons of sickness out.
 Red Cox and Roy Moore, new Baron southpaw, will probably do the hurling for the Barons Monday against the Travellers.

Tee, Fairway and Green { By CHICK EVANS
:, SHORT HOLES


 The short hole gives to golf one of the games delightful thrills. There IS in no other sport anything that can compare with a mashie pitch shot over ravine or the water hazard, and especially is this true when the player has the additional satisfaction or seeing ball, after sailing arrowy through space, plunk on the green and stay there.
 Modern golf course designers also are adding to this lure of the game the practice of building short holes scientifically, so that instead of hav- Ing several short pitches over ravtnes or water we now find the modern course equipped with series of short holes that bring into play all the different clubs. The Briergate course in Chicago, which is one of the star courses of America, was built to conform in every detail to the modern American game, is an ex- ample of superb short-hole arrange ment.
 Test Of Short Golf.
 Here the short holes bring into play the spoon and three of the irons digger. mashie and midiron. This brings out better test of short hole golf and keeps the short-hole situa- tion constantly changing In front of the player because all the distances vary. Four short holes are in reality all the same if the distance is equal. and the good golfer Is concerned only with the distance the shot calls for that Is. 1t makes little difference to the finished player what is between the tee and green other than dis tance. Give him four 150-yard pitches on . course and he has the same
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-06-11

ming as one shot of that distance to De made four times-a much simpler matter than making four short-hole shots of varying length and calling TOT different club each.
 Thus the fine Chicago course i'm proves upon the famous Country club course at Brookline, one of the great golf testing grounds, because Brook line. an older course, has two midiron holes and two mashie pitches for it's other short-hole greens.
 The purpose of the short-h in golf Is two-fold-it adds variety to the sport and 1t gives the player op- portunity to use some weapon besides driver at tee after tee. It is a real thought added to the sport to make these short holes of varying length and description. as has been done at Briergate. Golf is game of per- ccntages and this kind of building adds certain percentage to the lure of the pastime.
 It is by such margins as these, seemingly unimportant in themselves, that the game as whole is improved. Golf offers all of us the chance for constructive thinking. Let's have more of 1t like this.

Ecu Is Greatest or
 1923 3-Year-Olds

NEW YORK, June 10.--All possi. hle doubt as to the 1923 three-year- old championship of the American turf has been annulled by the great victory of Harry Sinclair's brown colt, Zev, in the Belmont stakes, tho third $50,000 race of the season and fifth victory in the graduating class. As to the runner-up for the year there will be much dispute. Mar tingale crowded Zev in the derby and one other race to finish second and was the gamest pursuer most of the way in Saturdays eastern classic. only to drop back exhausted in the last quarter. Vigil won the Preakness and Chickvale took second in the Belmont
 However, the runners-up honors are unimportant and the important fact remains that Zev has been the greatest winner of them in all his class this season. The winner o1 the Belmont added s4s.sOO to his earnings.

during the AUTUMN and winter months,
10 lonely inhabitants of this island
look Hskance at the telegraph and will

Recently a steamer sailed from the
island of Lewis, the largest and most

thus broke st, Kilda's nine months
solitude by bringing II nails pro-
visions and other necessarles.
During their Isolated months the
islanders send their letters to Lewis
in tin canlsters in sheepskln buoys.
They launch these when there is a
gale Of northwest wind. Sometimes
the buoys get blown out of their
course and take the letters thousands
of mlleg, but very often they cross the
sIxty-mile stretch of sea to Lewis
island safely and are then posted
from that place,
