FORE!
u AND AFTER
BY ROSS cONKLIN-

'Splints" Burrows is an ex-
Chevy Chase .caddie, and Splints
is dyed-in -the-wool golfer. He
qualified for the Rock Creek tour
nament with a creditable score, and
i he lost his first match, but in the
losing Splints wrote some interest
ing history.
First of all, Splints, a spindle
legged, freckIed, tousled headed
red faced kid, hits cross-handed.
That means s.that instead of having
the left hand over the right, he has
those appendages. exactly reversed.
He either hits or misses, usually
the former. Splints carried A. T..
Decker to twenty holes, and then
made his history.
After seeing Decker's tee shot,
q healthy hit drive, tricl1le to
within eighteen inches of the cup,
SpIints shot for the moon. He
cut into the ball with a vengeance,
and drove the green, which was
200 yards away. He pitched to
the edge of the green, and got
near the pin in three. Decker
had a short putt for an eagle, and
SpIints laid him a dead stymie.
That was all he cared about.
He was licked, but, in his own
words, 81 kept him cut of that
damn two" And the afternoon
for SpIints was a success.
) Danny Morgan and George Diff
fenbaugh: have an exhibition match
on at SHERWOOD Forest. Sunday.
They will play against Nate Mather
and Charlie McCourt, Maryland
amateur champion, lin a thirty-six
hole exhibition, eighteen in the
morning and eighteen in the after.

Mention of Horgan's name re.
calls his fondness. for betting on
himself in golf. He would bet he
could hit the moon, if the odds
were properly laid. Tom Keleher,
one Of the good municipal LINKS
PLAYERS, wagered Horgan that Re
couldn't shoot a thirty eight on the
Rock Creek course two days ago.
Keleher was financially eut
barassed at the time, and he pGt

The present record is 135 miles

Culver City track in California last
fall At times during the last
twenty miles OF the Laurel classic
he whizzed around the great bowl
at a speed of 134 miles an hour.

De PaOlO's try fer q record will
be a side feature Of an intercfty
bicycle meet. The fastest riders
i'm Washington and Baltimore will
compete. The meet was organized
by Jack Prince. builder of the
Laurel speedway and many other
racing tracks.
To the winner of the pedaIing
contest will be presented a silver
trophy, the gift OF De Paolo, him.
self former bicycle champion. De
Paolo is a speeder Of parts. He
has battled time with bicycles, auto
mobiles and airrlanes. He likes
his speed best when made on four
wheels. He cares not at all for
motorcycle racing.
With a suitable place to hold themi
bicycle races may become popular
with Washington1ans again. The
older generation remembers well the
stirring races onco held here. Any
way, the old boys talk about them.
Jack Prince, the same person who
built the Laurel saucer. was a
|cycling champion and established
a world record right in this city.
He won the world championship in
1886 on a track at Monkey Park,
near Brookland. -.
Over period of about fifteen
years Prince was unbeatable, He
is an Englishman by birth and
came to America when twenty-three.
He began racine at the age of nine
teen.
At Moxley Park he peddled a
mile in trifle less than two
minutes and he did 1t on one of
those things with front wheel
measuring feet s inches in
diameter and a rear wheel twenty
| inches in diameter.
1t was his experience as 9
bicyclist that led him into the track
building game. He built the frs
wooden racing track in the world
| in Madison Square Garden.
And shortly after it's completion
he won the first six-day race on it
Six-day peddling was tough racket
| in those days, in the nineties.
The contestants competed sing
| ". There were no tWO-Inan
teams. A contestant rode and
rode and rode until he tOppled
from exhaustion. Then his trainer
bathed and rubbed him and gave
him stimuIants until his tired
limbs were able to function again,
and back to the grind he went.
| A part of the trainers job, too,
was to doctor blisters. These
were large and agOnizing, accord
| ing to Prince.
Of sleep there, was little. Prince
once rode for fourteen hours at q

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-07-17


Richards action was taken with
his eyes open. in the opinion of
Broadway. The hot sports of that
gay causeway contend that this
was the first gun of the war and
that Tex has no intention of say
ing that he didn't know it was
loaded.
AS a matter of fact. he plans to
fire another one today by signing
Dempsey to a legal contract, as
specified above, at the same hour
the commission is conducting its
semi-weekly proceedings.
Ii is not likely, however, that
the board will take official cog
nizance of the situation until
next week, owing to the fact that
Its chairman, James e. Farley, is
out Of town.
Richards suspension is almost
certain to follow, unless the COM
mission cares to go into reverse. 1t
has done so before. but hardly in an
Issue as important as the present
one.
If Richard is banished to the
outer darkness, he probably will
take the Dempsey engagement to
OldlO anu 4NC" OSApNS -
just across the river. He still has
a lease on Boyle's thirty acres, Jer-
sey City, and it is no secret that
the Jersey authorities are not as
friendly with the local board as
once they were.
Gene Tunney and George God
frey, colored gentleman, have
been mentioned as tentative oppeT-
ents for the champion. So has, Jack
Renault. although the latter hasn't
beaten good man since Tosti said
good-by.
This, according to Richards
program, will be the warm.up bout
Dempsey needs before dailying
with a gent of Wills ability.
Another. taken independently of
Richards auspices, probably will
involve BARLEY Madden at Michi-
gan City. Ind, on or around
Labor Day.
Tunney hasn't been signed. Meth
or has Godfrey or Reanault. These
are mere details, according to Rick
ard.
Considerably more than that,
however, is the fact that the pro-
.moter may prove to have the win
ming ace behind his ear. He not
only has signed Dempsey but some
months ago had the foresight to get
Wills signature.
All he needs. therefore, is to get
the colored mans agreement to wait
until next year and he will have the.
commission standing on it's feet. He
figures he can make Wills listen
TO reason by pointing out :hat the
harvest moon will shine fe4r more
brightly for a year of active pre-
paration for the extravaganza. This
done, Wills will be sent before the
commission to withdraw his prior
claim on Dempsey and the sound
of slow music will fall upon the ear.
But if Wills won't play. it will be
war to the death and let the oes.

The, ex-newsboy got a break
when the judges decided that he
had outpointed Eddie Wagner in
the first round of the tournament
last winter. He got another when
he won from Sammy Mandell on
foul.
Mandell was considered the
"class" of the tournament and he
was beating Goodrich when the
foul suddenly eliminated him.
Goodrich's victories over Basil
Galiane, of, New Orleans. and
Loayza, survivor of the foreign
section, were clear-cut.
Many a champion has won on
ONE lucky break. Goodrich had
to take several swings at the title.
He is far from being a Cheese"
champion. 1t will take a good
man to beat him.
Not a Joke Champion.
I'm the last few years there have
L been many joke champions.
Most of them won their titles on
flukes. That charge cannot be
brought against Goodrich, because
he still had to defeat Loayza, a
dangerous hitter, after the lucky
break with Mandell.
1t may be said that Jimmy
would not have finished in the
tournament if Sid ferris, Jack
Bernstein, Luis Vicentini and
others had entered. Perhaps not.
But ferris, Bernstein, and Vicen-
TIM would not take chances for
which they would have been i'll
rewarded.
Leonard Definitely, Out
GOODRICH is~recognized as the
VI champion in New York, and
he will be generally recognized in
other States. He is entitled to
every consideration.
Benny Leonard has definitely
retired. Billy Gibson, who con-
Quoted Leonard's fistic campaigns,

Gibson. eff the commission calls

what his answer will be. He's

The New York commission
promised MandeIl an early crack
at the title, and if Mandell is
prompt with his challenge he
probably will be Goodrich's first
opponent in this State. However,
Goodrich has the privilege of
waiting.
The New York commission
