Shorey, according to Thorn, Is per-
fectly equipped for late afternoon golf,
for Thorn claims he can see IN the
dark like a cat Thorn tells OF a
game near Norfolk short time ago
when 1t was so dark the players could
not see the pins. Shorey, Thorn re-
lates, asked the caddie to rattle the pin
in the cup when he had bunker shot
to play close to the green. He holed
the ball for a birdie from the trap. On
the next green Shorey again asked the
boy to rattle the pin, and he holed a
35-foot putt for another birdie. The
match last night was finished in the
dark.
Again the United States Golf Asso-
citation has sent circular letters to all
sectional, State and district golf asso-
Citations seeking their support In an
attempt to have Congress lift the 10
per cent tax on dues and initiation fees.
Two years ago the national golf body
started a campaign to have this tax
lifted, but its efforts SO far have not
been successful 1T is the belief of the
executive committee of the United
States Golf Association" the letter says,
that the entire tax on athletic and
sporting clubs is fundamentally wrong
in principle and that 1t would be a
better policy on the part of the Gov
eminent to promote rather than to tax
health-giving outdoor sports. The old
objection to the removal of this tax.
that golf is a rich mans game, would
certainly not be advanced at this time
to any one familiar with the develop
ment of golf in this country"

DEMPSEy-WR|GLEY
COMBINE IS SEEN
Jack Said to Have Obtained
Exclusive Use of Cubs
Park for Bouts.
BY the Associated Press.


n YEW YORK, November 21.-The
N New York American today said
VI that Jack Dempsey has reached
L an agreement with William
Wrigley whereby the former
heavyweight champion will have the ex-
elusive right of promoting boxing con-
tests next year at Wrigley Field, home
of the champion Cubs.
The paper also said that the owner
Of the Cubs Is not satisfied with the role
of landlord for Dempseys promotorial
ventures, but wants to buy in as a full
f1edged partner of the Manassa Man
Mauler.
Impressed by the Dempsey Tunney
spectacle at Soldier Field two years ago.
Wrigley since has become financially
interested in the Chicago Stadium,
which Is reported to be in search of
promoter, and also owns the Pacific
Coast League ball park in Los Angeles,
where profitable bouts are held.
The American points out that these
considerations, as we'll as the backing
OF Wrlgley's millions, may cause Demp-
Sey to consider the base ball magnate's
partnership hopes favorably.
Dempsey is reported to view the Chi
cago Stadium proposition with disfavor,
but the fact that Jack Kearns is be-
lleVed to be headed for the directors lob
there may move the former champion to
take the position. the American adds.
The real ambition Of both Wriglev
and Dempsey is to bring to Chicago an.
other heavyweight championship bout.
1t is believed. The second Dempsey
Tunney fight drew a gate in excess Of
81 100000, the record figure for any
sporting event.

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 21.-Maj.
John L. Griffith. athletic commits
sioner of the Western Conference,
believes critics of college foot ball,
particularly investigators for the
Carnegie Foundation. have searched
for faults without giving attention to
possible good qualities of the pastime.
At a dinner last night Maj. Grit
fifth said: Those who charge COL
lege athletics are commercialized
think only in terms of foot ball.
Foot ball is the only enc of IA in
tercollegiate sports that has any con-
siderable earning power. and &C
tualiy supports the remaining 10.
This raises the question of whether
we should condemn the sports that
have earning power solely because
of this earning power, and should
stress only the sports that lack
earning power simply because they
have no appreciate earning power"

practiced rotation of crops long be-
fore this basic principle of scientific
agriculture was thought of by a peo-
pie who were to build nation deep
~ rooted in the products of the soil.
AS patron of the improvement of
live stock in this country and the in
PRODUCTION of new fruits and vegeta-
bleS he was in constant cOmmunica-
ton with men interested in these sub
jects, both in America and Europe.
While he was President he laid the
foundation for the modern system of
government crop reporting by person
ally watching the markets of Wash
ington for eight years and recording
the earliest and latest appearances
of 81 different farm products.
AS scientist his name is preserved
in scientific records in the LatiniZed
sloth whose fossil remains he was the
first to describe, "MegalOnyx Jeffer-
sOni." When he sent Lewis and Clark
on their famous exploring expedition
into the newly-acquired territory be-
yOnd the Mississippi, one of the duties
with which he charged them was that
of making accurate and complete rec
Ords of the natural history of the re-
gion, the life of the native races,
the fauna and flora, weather condi-
tiOns and the like. 1t is not generally
known, perhaps, but he was also in
in OIL in, ho
made tour of Long Island to visit
the Indians of that region and to re-
cord their language. The result was
200-wOrd vocabulary of these Indi-
ans the manuscript of which, in JEFF
ferson's own handwriting is still pre-
served.
Rotation of crops and other forms
of scientific agriculture, however, are
not the only things for which the ag-
riculture of today is indebted to
Thomas Jefferson. When the farmer
plOws up an old meadow, turning the
sod over upon itself, he can thank
Thomas Jefferson, the inventor. For
it was this man who invented the
pillow mOld-bOard which makes mod
ern grassland blowing possible. When
the motorist folds down the top of
his car TO get the full benefit of the
cool breeze, he can thank Jefferson
for the invention which makes it pos
sible to do so. When the desk work
er tits back in his comfortable swivel
chair or swings around easily instead
of getting I'D and turning the chair
he should remember gratefully the
name of Thomas Jefferson, for it was
this Virginian who invented the only
improvement in seating devices since
the time of the early Egyptians. In
fact, all inventors should look upon
Jefferson as their patron saint. For
when a man devises something new
and establishes in court his right to
1t against those who would initiate it
and profit thereby, he is indebted to
Jefferson for laying down the prin-
ciple upon which the United States
patent office is founded
No less interesting than Jefferson

NUCLEUS OF OLD
CHAMPION TEAM
Evers, Gowdy and Maran-
vile Return to Braves.

Back In 1914. the Boston Braves
were In last place In July, 10 games
behind the leaders and apparently GO
Ing nowhere, as usual.
George Stallings invoked q mir
acle," and the Braves won the Ma.
tional league pennant and later the
world series with the Philadelphia
Athletics in four straight games.
Just how much credit is due the
miracle" for that most amazing form
reversal In the history of baseball and
how much is due the players who
made it possible cannot be told with
any degree of certainty in this still
unenlightened age.
But the keystone combination and
the hard-hitting catcher who formed
the nucleus of those amazing Braves
of Is seasons ago will be back with
the club in 1929.
Evers, MaranviIIe and Gowdy, names
to compare with in 1914, have once
more joined their old club. 1t may be
that Judge Emil Fuchs believes he can
build another winner upon the gray
matter of the past.
The Boston Braves have never APP
preached a performance equal to that
of 10 seasons ago. They have never
even won pennant. They have gone
steadily downhill, despite the efforts
of many masters.
Last year, even with Rogers Horns
by and some promising pitching mate
rial, the Braves were the disappoint-
ment of their hackers In the Hub.
This year. Judge Fuchs will take
matters in his own hands, he says, and
manage the club himself. His first
move was to gather about him Johnny
Evers, Hank Gowdy and Rabbit Maran-
vile, heroes of that 1914 drive.
Johnny Evers will be Fuchs assist
ant as manager of the club, Hank
Gowdy will be a coach, scout,
great help to young pitchers. Rabbit
Maranville will play shortstop.

Marian Transformer

A Brazilian inventor recently an
nounced that he has perfected de-
vice to make walking swifter and less
tiresome. The apparatus, which he
calls Martian transformer, weighs
about two pounds and is attached to
the back. 1t is supposed to energize
the nervous system, SO that one may
hike long distances over high noun
tains with a small expenditure OF
bodily energy. With a similar device
weighing about 33 pounds, the In
ventor claims that one may take off in
aerial flight like bird. AS yet, how
ever, no practical demonstrations
have been given.
