LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8.-Sammy
Mandell's coast visit ended last
night with a defeat at the hands of
Phil Salvatore, clever veteran of
foltr-reund boxing fighters.
1t was the Illinois lightweight S
first reverse in five California bouts.
Before meeting Salvatore, Mandell
won over four of the most repre-
sentative fighters Los Angeles and
San Francisco could offer.
Salvatore, in besting the formid-
able Mandell, took three of the four
rounds. The bout was fast through
out.
Tony Fuente, Mexican heavy

fights by knockauts, put Jim God
dard of San Francisco to sleep for
five minutes in the s6mi-final.

Mississippi Leader Has Splendid AlI-Afound
 Record

UNIVERSITY, Miss, August 26.- Claude T. Smithson, Jackson lad, will assume active charge as captain of the Unievrsity of Mississippi football team when Coach Chester Barnard lines his 1924 pigskin chasers up for the first kickoff on the lower athletic field here next Monday, September l.
 In Captain Smi;5 5son the University will have one of itS most dependable captains. A good foU ball player and man of exceptional ability Nn the athletic field he never Days for show and is always found .doine his bert no matter what may be the Score. He is known on the campus as an tthlete who always keeps training, and his leader ship should mean much toward the development of the Red and Blue eleven.
 .~Ihis season will very likely find Captain Smithscn at half although he may be switched to full as he is es- peciallv good on the defense in this position. However, most of his football experience at the university has been gained at half, and the first game will very likely find him lined up there.
 The 1924 football team will be the second Ole Miss team that Smithson has led in the capacity of captain. Last season he was captain and leading scorer for the university track team. Smithson entered the hurdles and 220- yard dash with the cinder path squad.
 Smithson will be junior law stu dent at the university this season, hav- ing taken up law after two years in the College of Liberal Arts. He is prominent in various student activ-

NEW YORK, August 2s.--Sports activity in the east, now at the height Uf one of the buiest late season cam paigns on record, was abruptly halted by rain today on nearly all fronts.
 A heavy overnight. downpeur played havoc with baseball, boxing, horse rae ing, polo and tennis schedules, dis appointing performers and spectators alike who have been manifesting un- usual interest.
 In the metropolitan sector. play was suspended in the national mems singles championship which opened in spectacular fashion yesterday at Forest Hills; interrupted the international polo practice matches at Westbury, in which an English team was to have played the California junior champions blocked the boxing card slated at the Greensboro A.

While boxing bouts are being staged all over tIi:s fair land of ours Labor Day from Maine to Mexico, the Magic City will not be without its fistic en- tertainment for on next Monday eve ming Mir. Johnny McGinty, visitor from New York, will be entertained by Mir. Jimmy Finley at('the Birmingham Athletic club in ten course lamming luncheon-of maybe biffing banquet would be the more appropriate. It is to be an informal affair, the ring cere-' mony to be used , Es
 Ever since the, Dillon -McGinty fight ended 50 abruptly Monday night local fans have been rejoicing over the fact that they would get to see more of Johnny. Upon his arrival here from New York, he wired his mahager, Billy Gibson, and asked permission to remain over here for Labor Day. Gibson granted him this privilege, even though he was figuring on using Johnny on a card in New York on Labor Day. :. :" This means that the fans will have Q chance of seeing Johnny in a ten- round go, unless. of couse. he lands a lucky punch and stops Finley. It is conceded that Finley can't stop John ny, for me met him when the Irish man was greater and slower boy, and he couldn't put over a kaye at that time.
 There are some in Birmingham who believe that Johnny can put the kibOsh on Finley's string of consecutive wins. If Johnny ever gets his timing to working perfectly, he'll slam Finlye to the rosin," said bug yesterday: That is, of course, if Finley will stand up and mix it with him. Finley isn't so fond of mixing it with hard pune CTS, you know, and that's one thing Johnny hasa powerful punch"
 Dave Evans was busy Tuesday re- ceiving congratulations from hundreds of local fight fans over the merit of the preliminary card offered the past Monday night These compliments tickled Dave and he has gone about ar raning another preliminary card which he hopes will prove just as good, and also a semi-windup that will bring the fans to their feet. Dave stated Tuesday that Max Scholder had accepted Tasi- lor's challenge and that the two boys would wrestle for ten rounds as an event on the card the night of Labor Day.

The United States Lawn Ten Dis association was the host and most .of the prominent officials of the or ganization as. well as the umpires of the tournament sat down on terms of friendship with the players.
 Some disappointment was occasioned when the Chinese players, scoring chopsticks, evinced masterful technique with the knife and fork.
 The entire days program on the courts at Forest Hills was postponed to Wednesday because of the all-night rain which had left the grass to slip pery for good playing. William T. Tilden's twice-deferred match with Manuel Alonso will be played late Wednesday, if the weather quits crying.

By BARRIE PAYNE

to tie the clubshaft in a double bow knot around the body of the tree. We guarantee you against any further trouble with that driver.
 Proper Form For The Midiron-Grip the stance same as for driver, but swing slightly more upright. Swing low and take a big divot. Leave as little of the fairway as possible. Repeat the swing in the same place and take a still deeper divot. Continue your divo- tional exercises (Note to Printer: Not devotional" please) until deep pit has been dug. Drop the midiron into the pit with a few well-chosen epithets. Replace divots until the club is com pletely buried. Then go west and try to. forget.
 Correct Pse Of The Cleek-Hunt up the guy who advised you to buy it and cram it down his throat. Better rhythm and timing will result if it's crafnmed down shaft-end first.
 Proper Use Of The Putter, Btc.-After the fourth putt on the first hole build a bonfire in the middle of the green. Keep your head still. Release the put ter with a snap of the wrist and let 1t fly into the hottest part of the fire. Pile the. bag and all remaining clubs on the fire. Take off your. golf togs-after moving the women and children to a place of safety-and use them for ad- litional fuel-the togs, not the wom- en. Leave the caddy behind to scatter the ashes. Stalk majestically back to the house in your bee-vee-deeze. Set fire to the clubhouse and call it day.
