BOBBY GARCIA MEETS
BABE HERMAN IN PHlLLY

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-Phii-
adelphia fans have been getting
good line on pretenders, contenders
and challengers for the feather
weight throne. Lou the Kid, mean
ing Kaplan, the champion, cannot
be coaxed into the Arena ring, but
Jules Aronson has accommodated
the fisticuff lovers by matching
other crack 126-pounders.
Tonight Babe Herman, Portu;
guese ouncher from California. will
make his decision-debut in this city.
Pitted against him will be the
Baltimore Bearcat, Bullet Bob
Garcia. and the bout is slated for
ten rounds-or less.
Herman displayed his wares here
four times in no-decision matches,
and this evening is his first since
decisions have been authorized In
the State.
Herman has had two shots at the
featherwekght title. once holding
Kaplan to a draw and. losing
decision recently. On five previous
occasions Babe and Lou FLASHED in

John L. Sullivan. When Jackson
first came to this country, in
1888, he certainly was at his best,
~ shall never forget the pic
ture of physical perfection he
presented. Over six feet tall,
beautifully proportional, he looked
like statue carved out of ebony.
His features were handsome and
we'll Horned. Peter jackson, re-
member, was not an African
negro, and so did not possess
the racial characteristics of thick
lips and flat nose. His strength
was prodigious, and yet he gave
not the slightest impression Of
being muscle-bound. His were
the light; stringy muscles of a
true athlete. He moved like a
flash of light, with the grace
of a thoroughbred race horse and
the power and snap of tightly
coiled spring suddenly~released.

Since his sensational victory in
the recent $4,000 open at Los
Angeles Harry Cooper has been
talked of a great deal wherever
golfers congregate. who Is he and
where did he come from?" are
frequent questions.
This young professional was born
in England twenty.one years ago last
August He is now located with
his father, Sgd Cooper, who has
charge Of the Tension Park munic-
ipal course at Dallas, Tex. Sgd
Cooper came to the United States
in 1912 and at the outset he located
in Canada, but later obtained the
post as pro at the Mississinewa
Club at Peru. Ind.
Harry Cooper started swinging a
golf club at the age of 5 years in
England and by the time he was 9
he was getting around the Miss
sometimes better. His father early
taught him the value Of accuracy.
Harry, who is high school gradu-
ate. twice won the Texas profess
sional championship.
He is an extremely long driver
and in his match with Walter
Hagen in the =. G. A. championship
at Olympia Fields he repeatedly
outdrove the title holder, but lost
because the veteran was steadier on
and near the green. There are
those who declare that Cooper was
a better putter when 8 years old
than he is today.

MISS
GREAT CHANCE

The Yankees were on the A>xery
verge Of another licking at The
hands of the Stanton basketeers in
the preliminary game at the Arcade.
But, they showed a last minute
rally and that gave them the game,
'2S to IS.
The half ended with the Stan
tons apparently outclassed. But
coming back in the last portion of
the SgaIne, the green clad young.
sters flashed their best form. and
matters were running anything but
smoothly for the Yanks. The score
was tied near the end OF the game
through the Stanton squirt.
Jack Smith, who usually runs
wild. had a miserable afternoon.
He was guarded so closely he got
but a single basket. Doc Burch
was the chap who did the guarding.

We Often Wonder
Why They Take Il
So Seriously

Everyone knows the serious
golfer. He is found wherever
one goes, arriving at the first
teel with the air Of the man to
whom the hangman has just
sent q note to say that the
ceremony win take place in
half an hour sharp. He frowns
at the levity Of the lark which
will persist in singing It's
wretched song, while he is pre-
pairing to drive, and q joke that
would make wooden Indian
grin, leaves him stone cold.
Why he chooses to indulge in,
such sociable game as golf
remains one of the mysteries.
Perhaps it is for self -discip-
linary purposes and after the
round he goes to funeral or
a meeting of creditors to cheer
himself up.

that he would appear in only one
set of games in America. the Mill

den on February a.
The bally old statements attrib.
uted to the British officials, of
course, are nothing more than a
backwash of the series of contro-
versies that trailed Paavo Nurmi
over this, our native land last year.
Paavo was said by several pro-
moters to have attempted what the
vulgarians would term a 'shake-
down." and views, pro and con.
were freely aired on the subject
while the A. A. U. was kept busy
with investigations into this and
that and their plurals, these and
those.
When it was all over, Paavo got
the ultimate decision. He merely
went back to Finland, while the
promoters had to go back to work.
However, with a special A. A. Z.
committee supervising the impe1d-
ing tours, this condition is not
likely to arise again.

paid off by a free-will offering
