WILL MEET

NEW YORK, May Q.N.sl-
This weeks professional boxing
program in New York gets under
way tonight with a 1O-round bout
at the St. Nicholas Arena between
Benny Bass, Philadelphia veteran
who once held the featherweight
title, and Petey Mack, of Jersey
City.
The feature bout of the week is a
10-round fight at Madison Square
Garden on Friday night between
the rival lightweights, Billy Wal
lace, of Cleveland, and Louis Kid
Kaplan. former featherweight cham.
pion.
Wallace achieved an over
night reputation two years ago
by stopping Kaplan in five
rounds. 1t was the first time
the Connecticut battler had ever
been knocked out.
Wallace has been bothered with
bad hands and forced into long
spells of idleness by illness, but
still rates as Sammy Mandell's
most formidable rival.
A new national amateur heavy.
weight champion will be crowned
this week at Madison Square Garden
when boxers in four classes from
Canada, Boston. Pittsburgh. Phila-
delphia and New York participate
in an international tournament to-
morrow and Thursday night.
The heavyweight title competition
Is limited to three men and is an
added attraction to the regular pro-
gram which has an entry list Of 10
crack "simon pures."

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May g.
Ben Paschal, New York
Yankee reserve outfielder, is
expected to become a member
of the Washington Senators
before the present week is out,
according to indications to-
day.
President Clark Griffith, of the
Washington club, paid a hurried
visit to Chicago the latter part of
last week and is understood to have
practically completed arrangements
for the delivery of Paschal, a right
hand hitter and fast fielder, to
Washington at an early date.
The transfer Is expected to be
made in the form Of an outright
purchase of the outfielder by Wash
ington. For some time there has
been a strong rumor among base
ball men to the effect that Pascnal
would be landed for Walter John
, sons faltering Senators and the
same rumor carried the names of
: Ruel or Tate or Spencer as going
to the Yankees in exchange.
1t is not certain even now
that one of the catchers will
not Join the Yankees, but an
outright sale of Paschal seemed
the more likely course today.
The catcher-outfielder probable
trade gathered some background
over the weekend because of the
Yankees plain weakness behind the
bat and Washington's dire need
Of more right-hand hitting coupled
with Sammy Vests pitiful work
against southpaw Fingers of whom
the Washington club has been fac
ing many.
In whichever manner Paschal
should so to Washington, he can
I be well.spared as the three regu-
lars, Meusel, Combs and Ruth are

American Open Champion

EDINBURGH, Scotland,
MAY 6.-The American Ryder
Cup team and other players
from the United States have
been practicing hard to get
their game in shape for the
British open championship
which starts today, the quail
flying rounds to be held on the
Muirfield and Gullane courses.
This will be the greatest British
open tournament ever held with
many foreign entries including Jose
Juardo, of Argentina, who led the
field for three rounds last year and
Bambato of South Africa who pre-
sents a striking figure on the links
wearing white flannels despite the
cold weather.
From American there are
seventeen prominent players in.
cluding the ten Ryder cup men
and Tommy Armour, Bobby
CruIckshank. Macdonald Smith,
Jim Barnes, Wild Bill MelhOrn
and the amateurs George Won
Elm and Cy Newton.
Walter Hagen Is the defending
champion and think he will finish
near the top. The Muirfield course
Is very long measuring an even
1000 yeards, with fast green's, which
means that the scoring will be
high.
The player who has the best con-
troll of the tricky run-up shots end
excels in delicate putting will win.
l think the winning score will be
near 30O.~

The championship course at MUIR
field is the home of the honourable
company of Edinburgh golfers. In
the ordinary way, unusual creden-
tiaIs are necessary in order to play
| in quiet and privacy on this re-
nowned course which frowns upon
the popular charms of more famous
resorts. Even more than st. An
drews, the home of the game, this
club regards itself as the "aristo-
crat" of the game.
But it is a fine championship
course, although. at first sight. it
looks a little flat and park-like in
side it's stone wall. But when one
has overcome the difficult first
hole and the very cunning second,
then a general view OF tall hills
appears, and the courage of the
newcomer begins to ooze.
1t Is necessary to hit far on
this course. And not only that,
one must hit straight, because
the fairWays are but compare.
lively narrow glades cut through
rough Of q tenacious ana
ubiquitous character. There IL
not one easy hole In the eight
cen, and they must have been
designed by someone with no
sympathy at all towards the
average golfer.
But there are compensations in
the shape of beautiful turf, soft and
yielding to the foot, friendly and
helpful. And If one gets into
trouble on the tricky seventh and
solace of the beautiful adjoining
Archerfield Woods. And for literary
folk, and particularly lovers of Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson. these woods
are sacred, soil, for this is the coun-
try of THE Pavilion of the Links"
There are several famous holes
on the course. The short fourth is
one of the most interesting. There
Is a considerable gap between the
hill where the tee shot Is played
and the green. An accurate drive
might give a two; but the slightest
deviation might result in a seven.
The long fifth Is dog-legged, has
trees to the left and small hills to
the right and is heavily trapped.
A drive which is not perfectly
straight will land in front of a
particularly high and steep bunker.
The short seventh is also a death
trap. The slightest deviation from
the straight means tragedy. At the
eighth an ill-placed teeshot ends in
disaster, and a pulled second lands
in Archerfield Wood. The ninth is
full Of tricks as we'll as traps and
has ruined many a card.
Coming home, the short thir.
teenth with the green on top OF
q narrow plateau Is terror for
all. And the long seventeenth,
where badly judged drive fails
to open up the hole, Is a nerve
racxing preliminary to the mar.
row eighteenth with its iearsOme
traps.
Many famous golfer has returned
a fine card up to these last two
holes, only to find his hopes dashed
at the finish.
The distance of the course is 3,414
yards out and S,279 in, a total of
6,693 yards.
Because Of the secluded location Of
the course, and the fact that a heavy
entrance fee Is charged, it is not ex-
pected that there will be an uncon.
trolable multitude of spectators, and
elaborate arrangements have been
made for stewards to prevent the
galleries overcrowding the players.
There is no likelihood of a repetition
of the trouble caused by an unruly
rabble of onlookers, such as has oc'
Cured frequently in Scotland in re-
cent years.
