 When I came back to my corner l explained everything. I had sub stituted wine for water myself and was drinking all through the bout.
 In the 18th round I flattened Myers. He made the mistake of trying to box instead of fight.
 Just to show you how game fight CTS of that time were and how con- fident. Jack Skelly had taken a bad case of malaria and was so weak and wan-looking it was a shame to think of him walking around in- stead of fighting. He came 10 me and asked me to second him against George Dixon the next night.

 Poor Skelly, he never had a chance. He was in terrible shape but he kept trying. l don't mean to discredit Dixon, who was a great fighter, one of the greatest. But Skelly was just as good and it was q hollow victory Dixon scored that night.

H0RNSBY HAS MIND ON BATTING MARK
Not Worried at All Over Stock Wrangle or Civil Suits

St. Louis, Feb. 3 R - Rogers Hornsby. second baseman and cap- tain of the New York Giants, sec- ond largest stockholder and a di- rector of the St. Louis Cardinals, and defendant in three suits total ing s76,000, said today he was more interested in the 1927 pen nant race and his own batting rec ord than in anything else.
 Hornsby predicted the Giants would win the pennant and he would be near th~ top In National league batting. Last season, while managing the Cardinals and while suffering from boils, Hornsby slumped in batting after he had led the league for six consecutive seasons.
 "I'm not worried about all this mess" Hornsby said, referring to the law suits. 'ut's natural for slickers to try to get slice of your dough when they hear you're get ting a good salary"
 I'm in fine physical condition. My back Is strong, and I've re- gained all the weight l lost during my siege of boils and illness last summer. And morale? I'm full of it. I'm going to get out there and get a flock of base hits for all friends and another for all the birds who have sued me. And I'll tell you this: I won't say right out that I'm going to lead the league, but I'll say that if anybody else leads the league in batting that leaders name will be right above the name of Hornsby.
 Another thing, the Giants arc going to breeze in. They've got the pitching and they've made some trades that won't hurt the team. And they have morale. Everybody will be satisfied and working to- gether."
 Hornsby said there was mo chance" the trade sending him to New York might be called off. He said he expected to be able to sell his Cardinal stock at a fair price.
 William Fahey, Hornsby's attor- ney, said he was considering suit to compel Sam Breadon, Cardinal president and controlling stock holder, to declare back dividends on the 1,167 shares held by Horns by, but he would have another with Breadon and make further efforts to find buyer be- fore taking action.

lBY JIMMY POWERSl

New ' ork, Feb. 3.-keep the old Ilamps peeled for Johnny Farrell this year.
 He Is the one man Walter Hagen fears.
 This tall, slender, black haired, blue-eyed Irishman with neat per- sonality and every shot in the kit Is just about ripe for sweet clean up in the big golf spasms carded for 1927.
 Where do I get that noise |? From "the Haig, himself, personal"
 I asked the Big Boy who he be- lieved would give him his toughest run this year. Thought the anewer would include Macdonald Smith, Joe Turnesa, Gene Sarazen, Leo Diegel, Al Watrous or Bill Mehl- horn. Figured the dapper Quaker Ridge pro was out like the bum S toe.
 Cant see it that way at all,' says Hagen. T fear Johnny more than any other golfer because I believe he has finally reached the stage where he can and will use the great game God gave him.
 Most everybody hoped he'd come galloping through long before this. When he Jagged bit they lost their interest and even If he did come close failed to get the credit due him. He's farther advanced right now than Gene Sarazen was at the same age.
 He certainly has the shots. He has a fine free swing with the wood, a crisp iron style, and there are not many better putters.
 And here's another thing--each year he's slowly and quietly forged ahead. All his changes have been for the better. I'd like to have a look at the years tournament aver ages just to see If they don't bear out my opinion"
 Well, Mir. Hagen, here's your de- sired squint at the years averages dug out of the big-time tournament results:
 In 24 championship rounds in 1926 Walter Hagen busted the ball for an average of Il 11-24 strokes
 In 30 championship rounds in 1926 Johnny Farrell slugged the pill for an average of 72 11-30 strokes.
 These figures take in only the leaders who have played 16 or more rounds in events of a major caliber.
 Of the eight first places in the eight leading tournaments, Hagen and Farrell together won two apiece or as many as the rest of the pros put together.
 Farrell was tied for third in the U. s. open with 297; he was fifth in the Canadian open on 29l; he was second in the eastern open on 2S4; he was first in the Shawnee open on 2S9; he was second in the Metro- politan open on 2SS: he was first in the P. G. A. qualifying on 142, lead ing Leo Diegel, Jim Barnes, Gene Sarazen and Joe Turnesa, and he was first in the Westchester open on 14S.
 Farrell, like the rent, will be very much due this year.

NEW YORK, August S.-Following

tervals, but little or no attempt was
made to rally the market from the
current price level.
Rumors that a rupture had taken
place in the agreement to curtail out
put of crude oil from the Seminole
field were promptly denied, but the
oil shares continued under pressure
Standard Of Kentucky, which had
rallied Saturday to it's high for the
year, was almost 9 points lower on
the day
Standard of Indiana following it's
recent recovery was pressed for sale
below 49, while Prairie Pipe Line and
Vacuum Oil lost more than a point.
Whether or not attempts to regulate
production are to be successful, the
fact remained that this would have
no effect in stimulating consumption
and this appeared to be the chief
consideration so far as speculative
Wall Street was concerned.
Public utilities resisted the selling
better than most other groups
United Gas & Improvement was
well taken just below III. Southeast

on the side of rising prices. At 1871
the price compared with 172 Satur-
day. Johns Manville, Safeway

Trading fell off appreciably as the
session progressed. The active pro-
fessional coterie was content to let
the market take its natural course
and apparently was awaiting new
developments before doing anything
in a large way on either side.

NEW YORK. August S.-The de-

for bonds yielding per cent or better

however, sentiment toward them has

DAVIS they have been in good demand.
In t0day's session the 612s gained

pared with 50 a short time ago. All
of the many Argentine per cent
issues were up to par for the first
time this year. Peruvian 712s were at

The European group was not neg
Iected. French 12s. French CITY os,
Seine rs and scissors 6s all rejected
a broad demand, even at the new PRICE
summit. Belgian Is were higher than
ever and the 6s were up u.
Similar demand was observed in the
high coupon domestic list. This caused
sharn advances in some of the sugar,
paper, oil and tire company issues.
The local public utilities were lrregu-
lar. Brooklyn Union Gas made its
