NEW GOLF PLAN
BRANDED As
FAILURE
is in Qualifying Round
OF Amateur Event Too
Few.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-That the
1925 plan of having only sixteen quail
ify for the national amateur. cham
pionship Of the United States Golf As
ISOLATION was failure was evidently
kept a deep secret from the governing
body until a few weeks ago. As 2
matter of fact, whether or not the U.
s. G. A. knew it, the idea was fail
ure long before it was tried out.
The root of the whole matter OF
experimentation lies in the fact that
the association does not want to take
ten days to decide the championship.
which decision is TO be commended;
but, on the other hand. il the tourna-
ment is to be run only with the time
limitation in mind. it might just as
well be made a 36-holc medal play
event.
The only logical way out to com
plete the championship from Monday
to Saturday is to devote Monday and
Tuesday to eighteen-hole qualifying
rounds, have thirty-two gain the right
to continue in the match play and
stage the first and second round on
Wednesday at eighteen holes. The
third round could be finished On
Thursday, the semi-final on Friday
and the final on Saturday, all over
the double route. That seems simple
enough

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASS NEEDS
MEN AROUND 1856 POUNDS
By ED w. SMITH

giant from the Coast. 1t didn't do
Jim very much good.
As a matter of cold fact there was
n difference of something like eighty
pounds between Corbctt and Jeftries
when they. fought, but that didn't
show very much inferiority for the
small man. As a matter of fact, even
when the larger man won, 1t was
shown that sheer bulk swayed the
contest in his favor and that 1t WASH
a matter of skill.
The man who whipped Jim Corbett
was merely a middleweight or some
thing of that sort, weighing about 100
pounds-Bob Fitz. He carried all OF
his weight from his waist up, and
had such tremendous driving force
in his muscles behind the shoulders
that he was all but unbeatable.
Small men came after that until
the craze began for white hopes, ;"
which was silly thing and resulted
in q lot of giants that amounted to
nothing. 1t wound up in the reign of
Jes Willard, perhaps one of the poor
est champions that the world ever has
seen. Jack johnson was gone the att
ernoon in Havana that Willard beat
him and it really wasn't a fair test q
skill.
There were at least a half dozen
men in the country at that time that
could have given johnson merry
game and perchance licking. but it
was the lucky Kansas fellow who got
the chance, almost by the toss OF
| coin.
Yet a small man licked Willard and
licked him so thoroughly that he has
stayed licked for a long time. In be-
tween times there were Tommy Burns
and Marvin Hart, poor champions, tho
former weighing about $50 and the
Louisville detective scaling in about
100.
And now we have one of the light
est men Of all sitting in the saddle.
Jack Dempsey doesn't weigh an ounce
over 1S5, if he goes that high. and
really is one of the smallest of our
champions, with the exception OF
FitZsimmons.
So it really doesn't matter wheth-
er we ever have another Jess VIII
lard or not. Big men of little
merit are not needed in the fightinf
game.

GOLF BALL PRICES
DUE FOR INCREASE

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Dc your

American manufacturers OF golfing

cisco representatives that commencing
January 5, 1926, the price of golf
balls will be increased from 20 cents
to So cents. and the 50-cent balls viii
be increased to 60 cents.
Now here's the joke!
Various makes Of British golf balls
selling for 81 will not be affected by
the raise in price. Local representa-
tives of British manufacturers say that
thew have received no word from their
home offices regarding changes IN
nrice. and express the opinion that
old prices will prevail after January D.
With Great Britain controlling be-
tween 20 and so per cent of the
worlds production Of rubber, and the
United States purchasing approximate,
" 40 per cent of the rubber produced
in the world, British manufacturer:
are able TO purchase their supply, OF
rubber and figures considerably 6eloW

The price of crude rubber has IN
creased from twelve cents pound u
1912 TO over a dollar a pound in 1879

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Is it neces-
sary to get a whale of q man like Jim
Jeffries or a Jess Willard to take
the title away rom a small man like
Dempsey? Isn't n small man Of 1So
pounds capable of handling himself
nicely against the biggest of them all?
Ring history and all of the rest of it
has told us that the little Teller is
about as good as the big Teller when
it comes to an honest scrap, and that
is generally what they have.
Who's going to lick Jack Dempsey |:
Certainly not another jess Willard
or a man of that type. The whales OF
the ring, the mammoth men who had
the huge log measurement and were
slow of movement and didn't have
much between their ears, were not
good champions. They had bulk and
that was all.
Lighter men were always the bet
ter men. From the day of Tom Allen
and men of that class right down
through the line there wasn't a real
champion that was big man. John
L. Sullivan was a great fellow, and
he started off the class as teaching the
public that it should know that
champion ought to be man of 46-inch
chest and thigh something like a
leg of beef. Nothing of the sort.
We think that at his greatest Cor,
bett did not weigh more than ISL
hounds. He was even lighter than
that when he fought Mitchell in Jack
sonville. Possibly he weighed matter
of 1S5 when he took on Jeffries the
first or the second time. He was try.

he might be stronger for the hairy
