. AND AFTER
az ROSS CoNKLIN-

"One-putt green's" the subject
of an enIightening discussion in
this column two days ago, was
the real cause for the downfall OF
Al Houghton in the national pub
lie links tournament at Garden
City, Long Island. The best way
in the world to lop off strokes is
by taking a single putt, and
Houghton found that out to his
sorrow.
William e. Serrick, of New York,
defeated AL, Z and S, and he had
eight consecutive one-putt greens.
Four OF those puts went fer
brides, and the others for either
winning holes or easy halves.
Houghton's game was as good as
Serrick's, with the exception of the
putting. and that was where ne lost
invaluable strokes.
In spite of his defeat, HoughtOn
is tickled yOungster. His show
ing in the tournament has made
him eligible for the national anna
teur at OaIxmOnt later ON in this
month. Roland Mackenzie threat
ems to be the only other Wash
ingt0nian eligible and H0ugEton's
proud position Of being an espe.
cialIy invited participant gives
him room to crow little.
Word from Houghton today also
proves that he is movie actor.
Listen to him: Movies took films
in action of four semifinalists, so
TIL be on the screen next thing I
know" AIS defeat of Dick Walsh
was one Of the most startling of
the play, inasmuch as the New
York press had painted Dick
super-human, invuInerable, under.
par golfer. Houghton's sportsman
ship in refusing to take hole from
Walsh, when Dicks caddie was hit
by his masters ball, was thorough
ly praised. It was fine sportsman
ship.
One week from today, Beaver
Dam, the newly-founded course near
is going to be one busy
place. Mr.. Eddie Brashears, known
in the business world as E. s.
Brashears, president of the club,
has thought up three interesting
tournaments for the day, with
prizes for all.
Starting at 10 o'clock, the ladies
of the club will have their club
championship tournament. It will
probably be handicap play of
eighteen holes, with par as the
target. At one o'clock, the men
will have their annual handicap
tournament for the championship
of the club, and when they come
in somewhere around o'clock
they will witness one grand sight.
A couple of cows have been
secured and they will be made the
subject of a rollicking barbecue
with all the trimmings. Members
of the club who wish to play are
requested to get in touch with
officers of the club so that their
time and partners might
be arranged. Argygle and Manor
play the last of the summer
matches in the three-club series at
Manor today.

nHORT STUFF q
- FOR ROOTERD

The Cleveland Indians come to
town tomorrow and will stick
around for five days. AS Iris
Speaker has his pitchers delivering
the goods now, the Indians won't
be anything soft for the champions.
Next Friday the New York Yam
KEGS open their final series Of the
year in Washington and large
crowds are sure to be out for last
peeks at Babe Ruth and his com.
panions.
Harry Rice collided with the right
field wall, trying foolishly to grab
a foul fly landing in the pavilion,
and was forced to leave the lineup.
The veteran Johnny Tobin replaced
him.
Stanley Coveleskie did not look
bad on the hill, but no pitcher in
the world can win games without
runs behind him. The Griffs sim
ply were not scoring yesterday.
George Sisler beat out roller to
deep short in the sixth and then
first base by the strong-armed
Muddy Ruel. Sisters dive in the
mud brought a big laugh from the
fans.
Joe Giard had a perfect record
at the bat, four strikeouts in four
times up. Gene Robertson, the
third sacker, walked three times in
four chances, showing how fate
deals with men.
After manhandling Quinn in the
first game, 10 to 4. the Indians sub
sided before Rommel in the second
and the Athletics got an even
break. 2 to o.
Carey and Grimes went six fast
rounds to a draw during the course
CT the Pirate-Dodger game, which
the former won, 10 to 8, with a
three-run rally in the ninth. The
:snpromptu bout eased both prin-
cipals off the premises and the
Pirates found Oeschger, Ehrhardt
and Hubbell more promising ma
terial than Grimes.
The Giants took another on the
chin from the Reds, 2 to /, and
dropped 32 games behind in the
pennant chase. Frisch's failure to
touch Rousch at second followed
by Southworth's misjudgment of
Walkers fly in the sixth was the
bIow-off.
Johnson's two errors nullified
Pennock's left-handed finesse and the
Tigers beat the Yanks, 8 to /.
Grimm's double and homer
staked the Cubs to a 5-to.1 decision
over the Phillies.
The Red Sox failed to score for
the second successive day, Lyons

McAuIiffe and Serrick Fight
II Out for Public Links
Title

GARDEN CITY, N. r. Aug. 3d.
Ray McAuliffe. Of Buffalo, and
william serriclz. OF New York.
began their thirty six-hole match for
the national public links title this
morning with perfect conditions and
the prospect Of ding.dong battle
that probably would not end until
late in the day
an original field of ninety eight and
their respective paths to the final
round were. strewn with the figura-
tive remains Of victims who had
shot near-par golf and found that
IT wasn't enough.
The two finalists were evenly
matched, McAuliffe being the more
brilliant and Serrick the steadier
Of the two.
The Washington times., 1925-08-08

Consider the fact that Dempsey,
since he has been champion, has
been followed everywhere by
gaping. good-natured throngs under
the spell of the hero worship COM
pick. This close attention at times
has been extremely annoying to
him, but still it was fattering.
The new tone that has crept into
the voice of the crowd has startled
Dempsey. He is well aware of the
fact that the mob, having set up
an idol, eagerly awaits the over
throw. He knows 1t is not him
self nor his personality that the
mob worships.
It is the title he now so zeaIously
and carefully guards from attack.
Yet it Is difficult for a cham
piOn to realize that all the CLAM.
our that clings to him-the cloak
of substantially and public es.
teen-can fall away in an In
slant. One SCATTERING blow and
his armor is stripped away, re-
vealing an ordinary mortal.
The knowledge of this, when
clouds threaten, arouses the an
tagonism Of a champion for his
tickle public.
Dempsey has always keeniy
sensed public reactions to his de-
pertinent as champion. Since that
day in Toledo when he toppled
over the giant Willard he has de-
veloped mentally more than he has
physically. He will never again be
the perfect fighter he was when
he won the title.
Some of the mistakes Jack made
in his early days have long dis
tressed him. He has tried to live
them down. The war record is
one of them. There is reason to
believe that Dempsey, in his heart,
bIames Jack Kearns for the ship
yards episode. He was young then
and easily persuaded that his OBJ
legations called for obedience to his
manager in all things.
Now, when heis holding the fort
instead of besieging it, his differences
Of opinion with Kearns have p:ac-
tically separated them.
After he won the championship
Dempsey tried hard to invest the
title with a dignity becoming a
leader. That is perhaps the main
reason why he avoided an issue
with Wills when the Black Pan
Their doomed up in ilis path.
The writer knows Jack always
felt that If he were matched with
Wills he would become a shining
target for reformers and that legal
ized boxing would be ieopardized.
He had no desire to be pictured as
a plug-ugly. At that time he had
absolutely no personal fear of Wills.
At Jersey City. The day he met
Georges Carpenter. Dempsey was
badly worried by reports that there
was to be a concerted demonstra-
ton against him BY service men.
He was very nervous in his corner
and hardly acknowledged his in
PRODUCTION. The long moment that
elapsed before he vent into action
was more of a stain on him than
any moment of the fight.
This writer believes that Demp-
sew has STALLED" Wills in the hope
that the black man would be elm
mated by some other contender and
a white man developed to bid for
the title.
Possibly he has been the victim Of
too much advice iii his recent ma
neuvering. When h9 discovers that

Coach Lou Little VIII Give
Football Candidates Con-
ditioning Stunts

Georgetown University, looking
forward to stiff football schedule

ordered all prospective candidates
for the varsity eleven to report at
Monmouth Beach, ~. j., on Mon
day, August 81, to begin three weeks
OF light work preparatory to fitting
them for the opening game Of the
season.
Georgetown's greatest loss Is the
one and only Freddy Sheehan. Had
this big fellow played at Harvard,
Princeton or Yale, he would have
been hailed far and wide as an ALI
American guard. His work In one
game alone would have rated that
high honor for him. He had TIE

selves after he had shown what he
could do against the University OF
Pennsylvania's indicated eleven.
Another whose absence viii be
felt Is Jerry Minihan. the midget
center. Al fighter all the way,
Minihan was hard and fast and he
frequently outplayed his bigger and
heftier RIVALS through sheer alert
ness.
Eddie Brooks, kicking fool, and

turned in his equipment and gone
into the world. So have Andy CAT
fey and Frank Murray, substitute
quarterbaeks.

his public is losing faith in him
he will be provoked into action.
He lost some prestage by his
failure to stop Tom Gibbons, and
when Luis Firpo threatened to
sweep him off the pugilistic map
he was goaded into meeting FirpO
at his own game instead of scieD-
tificalIy staying the "Wild Bull"
That moment of rashness almost
cost him his title.
You can say one thing for Demp
sey; when they get him into ring
Champions can hold OUT against
public opinion just so long. Billy
Brady, in his memoirs, relates how
Bob Fitzsimmons logged the foot
steps of Jim Corbett for several
years. Corbett, reaping the title
harvest, was haunted by fear OF
this spectre on his trail
He made many excuses, hut Fitz
simmons gave him no rest. il
became a personal issuc--a bitter
feud. Finally Corbett's public
would no longer support him. The
crowds began to jeer as they are
jeering Dempsey now. F'it2simmons
did not get Corbett until nearly five
years after Jim defeated John l.
Sullivan for the t Vie. But eventu
ally he got him.
We predict that Dempsey will not
retire at this time and that he will
be cornered sooner than Corbett
was.

Whether Rheumatic or other
wise-depend upon this new
discovery for quickest
action.

1t was high-class pharmacist who
saw prescription after prescription
fail to help hundreds of his custom
ers to get rid Of rheumatic swell
ings and stiff inflamed joints.
And it was this same man who as
serted that remedy could and would
be compounded that would make
creaky, swollen, tormented joints
work with just as much smoothness
as they ever did.
Now this prescription, rightly
named Joint Ease, after being test
ed successfully on many obstinate
cases, is offered through progressive
pharmacists to the millions of peo-
pie who suffer from ailing joints
that need limbering up.
Swollen. twingy, inflamed, stiff,
pain-tormented joints are usually
caused by rheumatism, but whatever
the cause Joint-Ease soaks right in
through skin and flesh and gets
right to and corrects the trouble at
its source.
Remember Joint-Ease is for all
ments Of the joints, whether in an
kle, arch, knee. hip, elbow, shoulder.
spine or finger, and when you rub
it on, you may expect speedy
and gratifying results.
1t is now on sale at any drug store
and druggists everywhere for &C
cents q tube.
Always remember, when Joint
Ease gets in joint misery gets out
