the man Of the cities needs an out
door game, and to my way of think.
ing golf is the best sport for him,
considered from the viewpoint OF
time. Naturally there are children
and very young people who would
never like golf, and it is well that
that should be SO, for I am the
last person in the world to decry
the big muscular games that de.
mand so much in the way Of
physique and the swiftness Of
youth. Nothing can be greater than
they in early youth, but how few
can play them, how few can make
the teams in our schools.
And after the schooldays are over
what chance have we for the big
muscles, the strong heart, that
they demand; they leave us with.
out a game and we feel our own
muscles growing flabbier and flab.
bier from disuse.
So that is why ! say that from
my present age ] can see many
advantages in nay choice Of game.
It's disadvantages lie in the fact
that, unlike baseball which Is
played in every vacant lot, it takes
much expensive ground; but the in
terest stn municipal golf is remedy
Ing that and think that the time
Is coming when every man will
have his chance to- play and that
he can keep up his sport until the
last curtain calls. The possibility
is the favoring advantage that sets
golf above every other outdoor

Must Develop Naturally.
<< A ND there is a lot to be
q said against trying to
"A teach a man who has
already won a number of fights
by developing along his own
lines, for then the chances are
that he will have gone too far
to have his style entirely
changed. The great little Jimmy
Wilde was a fistic genius, but he
was also a freak, and he could
do all those things which a boxer
should not do, and it was by
these methods that he got so
far ahead in his profession.
Wilde developed entirely on his
own lines, and, had it been other
wise, / am certain that he would
never have achieved the distinc-
ton that came his way.
"It is a significant fact that it
was only after he had been per-
suaded to take boxing lessons
from Jim Driscoll, perhaps the
greatest of all the stylists, that
Wilde suffered his first defeat,
and this after he had won more
than a hundred fights.

IRON Man STILL
PITCHES WITH
SUCCESS

It has been a good many years
since Joe McGinnity saw service
in the big leagues. And it has
been a good many years, too, since
he won renown as an Iron Man by
his ability to pitch day after day
with little or no rest.
And perhaps the record Of
Christy Mathewson and three
fingered Brown, and Eddie Plank,
and Chief Bender, and Jack Coombs
have tended to dim a little the re.
collection of those feats of prowess
which made McGinnity's name fam
GUS in the days when he was with
the Giants.
But through the years since he
left the big tent Iron Man Nc
Ginnity has chung fast to baseball.
Out in Danville, ILL.,, he is still
pitching today--a gray-haired,
ieather-faced, sturdy Individual,
long past his big league career,
but still able to hold his own with
the youngsters who strive for
places on the Danville team, which
he organized and manages.

Eugene CORR On Teaching
Old Dogs. '

MIR. EUGENE CORR, the
V famous London referee,
Az does not believe that it is
a good idea to teach a man well
along in the boxing business any
new tricks. He fears that it may
set the boxer back some.
Regarding this, he says:
"Dave Magill had been receiv-
ing lessons at the hands of Roland
Todd, a champion who is es-
sentially a stylist and one whose
skill lies in defensive tactics
rather than in attack. As the
Irishman had shown himself to be
a good natural fighter, I do not
think l should have recommended
him to Todd for lessons in the
more polished movements of the
game.
"It may be that Magill has not
thoroughly digested the knowl-
edge impaired by Todd, and, if
not, he may be seen to better ad-
vantage when he takes the ring
in two or three months time !;
but ! am inclined to think that
Todds' defensive boxing, instead
of improving the Irishman, will
tend to make him machine-like
and so keep him among the Sec
ond-raters, whereas had he been
allowed to develop on his own
lines, he might have grown into
a very tough fighter, even if he
lacked the polish that Todd is
trying to put in his boxing.
"Magili made Cook miss a
number of times, but he always
neglected to counter, and this is
exactly the !. fault with Roland
Todd, who otherwise has brought
defensive boxing to a fine art.
Jack Johnson was the greatest
adept at drawing an opponents
leads and making his miss, but
the great negro never neglected
to counter, for that is how he
won his fights. It is useless for
q man to be merely a fine de-

Challenge Board Is
Big Success At

There's a professional 1T the
Hacienda Club, near Whittier, in
California, who has introduced
popular innovation among his
members. He has placed a chal-

Golfers are placed on the board
according to their handicap. If
a player wishes to advance he
can challenge the man above him
and they play at scratch. So
when a man has worked to the
top of the fourteen handicap
group and challenges the bottom

they play at scratch, and if the

Genaro, of New York, has two
decisions over Villa.
1t has been said, not especially
