BY Henry l.. Farrell

United Press STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Unprece-
dented prosperity and a succession
of startling form upsets will be re.
corded in sports history for 1926
when other aspects Of the season
are forgotten,
Here are just a few of the fea
lures of the season: A new heavy
weight, middleweight and light
weight boxing champion; a two
million dollar fight gate and a mil
lion dollar football crowd, the largest
fight crowd and largest football
crowd on record; two new baseball
champions and the first world series
winner in st. Louis.
The year also marked the passing
Of Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills;
Americas first home-bred winner of
the British amateur golf champion
ship, Jesse Sweetser; Americas
first amateur winner of the British
open golf title-Bobby Jones; the
passing Of Bill Tilden and the sue
cession Of Rene La Coste to the
worlds tennis championship.
The swimming Of the English
Channel by two American women
also featured as did the fall of the
New York Giants and the comeback
Of the Yankees; the comeback
victory OF Mrs. Molla Mallory in the
women's tennis championship; the
entry Of Mile Suzanne Lenglen into
professional tennis; the falling of
Rogers Hornsby as the National

O. YOUTH
FOR MIKE
MCTigue, in Second Youth,
Proves Sensation in N. Y.
Winter Boxing.
Bu Times SDecial

BH 1imCS SDcfiWt
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The re-
iuvcnation Of Michael McTigue, the
creaking Celt, is the first sensation
Of winter boxing.
Whether Mike has found the
fountain Of youth or has been
monkeying with monkey glands
only the aging Irishman and his as
tute little manager, Jimmy Johnson,
can say. But the fact remains that
McTigue is a better fighter TO-DAY
than at any time in his career and
must be reckoned with in light
heavyweight circles.
A MISUNDERSTANDING bout should
be one Of the big tistic hits of the
season, and there will be a lot Ct
wise money upon the oldster from
the Emerald Isle, For Mike has
grown notwithstanding those
who only saw him when champion
will never beleve-Mike has de
veloped a left hook and is not afraid
to lead with it, Mike has decided his
hands are not so brittle after all and
has discovered a knockout wallop
in his accurate right fist.
With Berlenbach back in the East
looking for a lot Of fighting, Me
Tigue presents himself as the first
candidate. Mike is duo for re
turn bout with Jack Delaney IL he
can dispose Of BeIEenbach and Tom
my Loughran, while Berley himself
might keep his weight down and
attempt to regain his crown from
the Bridgeport battler.
A scrap between the Irishman and
the Astoria Assassin, therefore, would
pack any indoor arena this winter.

During the past season all

They amt doing right by our lit

7 Meaning the u. S. G. A. after long
years of Irritation with eastern and
mid-western links is about to do the
correct thing by its Pacific coast
sweetheart and honor the California
school of golf by shunting the ma
tional amateur there in 1928 or 1929.
All this is the aftermath of George
Won Elm's sensational victory over
Bobby Jones for the simon pure toga

One cannot ignore a champion.
That is why the boys in the know

Golf Special Planned
A special train from New York to

route, is the suggestion already Of
fered.
And now how about and what
about Won Elm?
Blond, smiling. shy-he is the
original "Nothing-to-say" bird who
is the despair Of every interviewer.
He always has had Il haunting fear
Of publicity and a distinct aversion
to patting himself verbally on the
back.
No, he cannot explain why and
how he beat Bobby Jones, he says.
Bobby is just the worlds greatest
golfer, and Won Elm says it simply
and sincerely.
Won Elm's father and mother,
residents Of Salt Lake City, Utah,
have the distinction of having three
sons who each hold golf champion
ships. George, Of course, holds the
coveted national amateur champion
ship. He once tipped the Utah State
crown jauntily over one eyebrow.
later the Pacific Northwest, Trans
Mississippi, California and other
titles, winding up with a berth on
the Walker cup team.
His Older Brother
Leonard Won Elm, two years older
than George, won this years Salt
Lake City championship from a fast
field that included the States lead
ing amateurs. He also holds the
championship Of the Ft. Douglas
Golf Club.
The latest Won Elm to capture
championship is Leroy Won Elm. He
is just IS. Always reluctant to en-
ter the competitive field, he yielded
to Georges coaxing this year and
stepped out with a bang. He was
third low in the city meet, won by
his brother. Then came the Nib
ley Club championship, and, by
curious coincidence, on the same day
George was beating Bobby Jones at
Baltusrol, young Leroy was beat
ing his club field to cop the medal.
He continued his drive TO the finals,
taking the championship in a great
squirt, winning nine of the last four
teeen holes to finish off a 8 and l
victory.
That's a high-powered gang of
kids to have in one golf family.
