Ray F. Clarity, chairman of the

by abjuring him as he stepped up to
his ball on the sixteenth tee to slice
off,"
Thomson looked around in amaze

1t hit Pal under the eye and cut
bad CASH
so far as I know Greb had never
seen Reed fight. Naturally, he had a
man at the gym watching Pal in action.
This fellow went back to Harry and
said:
well, it looks like you would have
an easy time tomorrow night
'How's that?' asked Harry.
This Reed fellow cut his eye open
this afternoon replied the other. All
you've got to do is smash him one on
it. After that everything will be easy.
rs that SOP said Greb.
"At the gymnasium, meantime, Reed
was heartsick. He wanted this fight to
go through bad. The question was,
would the doctors let him fight?
And If they did, what chance would
he have against Greb? Harry was one
of the craftiest fighters in the game.
He had a reputation for never giving a
man a chance. In the clinches he
butted like a billy-goat. Pal remem-
bered that when Greb had beaten Gene
Tunney in 1922 he had butted both his
eyes shut. What chance would he
have now, with this cut under his eye?
His trainers fixed up the wound as
we'll as they could. They did a good
job Of it, for the doctors let Pal fight
The night of the night, when Greb
got a look at Reed in the ring, he said
to his seconds: i like that fellows
looks. Nice boy
1.-The fight hadn't gone very far be-
fore Greb had a chance to shoot one
to Reeds weak spot. He didn't take
it. There were other times after that
when he could have opened the cut
But he never did
Not once during the evening did he
hit Pal above the neck. He refused to
take advantage of Pals hard luck.

Kind a lot of folks don't think exists
IN the ring game.
He was taking a real chance, too,
in not using everything he had against
Pal. No matter how good he was, he
might have left himself open to a
punch that would have beaten him.
That could have cost him his fight
with WilSon-and the championship.

VUST as Jack Shsrkey was quick
to declare Dempsey's rally against
4 Firpo the gamest action he saw
in the ring, he didn't hesitate a
minute when asked what was the most
sportsmanlike thing that ever had come
to his attention.
'It was Harry Crcb's conduct in his
1o-round fight with Pal Reed, the old
Navy fighter, at the Mechanics Build
ing in Boston six years ago" he said.
Jack, by the way, says that Greh was
his idea of a great fighter.
HARRY had everything" he explained.
Did YOU ever think that during his
career he licked men who held the
championships in three divisions-Gene
T1lnney, who became heavyweight
Champion Tommy Loughran, light
heavyweight, and Mickey Walker, mid
dleweight?"
All the same, Jack allowed. Pal Reed
was no set-up even for as good man
as Greb. He was the only man other
than Sharkey to drop Tommy Loughran.
and he had put Tommy down Tor a
count of nine in their fight at Newark.
He had fought an even battle with
Johnny WlSOIl. AIlu llC 4AdN lIlOAC tAAoAl
held his own with lots of other good
men. He packed sizeable punch and
he was no gutter.
There was a lot of interest in Bos-
ton," said Sharkey, when the Greb-
Reed fight was arranged. Harry was
not yet champion of the middleweights,
but he was on the way then to a night
with Johnny Wilson. He was always q
big drawing card. Reed was popular,
too. 1t wasn't merely that he was a
good fighter, but he was serious fell
low. ambitious to make good in the
world. Right now, unless there has
been some change of which I haven't
heard, he is physical director at New
Hampshire University. He has been
studying anatomy and all that sort of
stuff at the Harvard Summer School
and in another year or so will have his
degree.

Greb, Reed went to the gymnasium to

bag too hard and broke 1t OF. This

Cheapest Golf in World
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

One of the finest golf courses in
mid-America will be thrown open on
September 10 when Fielding H. Yost
dedicates the fairways and green's
he has built for the pleasure of the
students and faculty Of the Uni
versity of Michigan
The course is built on the gentle
slopes that surround Ann Arbor and
is the product of the architectural
skill of DR.. Mackenzie, who designed
several of the best courses on the
Pacific Coast and who now is laying
out the one L. w. st. John is con-
structing for Ohio State University.
The course will measure 5000 yards
under ordinary conditions. but for
championship play can be stretched
to $3.50.
Michigan will provide its students
with the cheapest golf in the world.
Director Yost plans charging only
SIS per year and divides that into
the Fall and Spring seasons. If pos
sible, he will even reduce that fee,
once the course is in use. The course
cost the university $500, 900, of which
only $4,000 went into construction.
The remainder was expended in the
purchase of the land.

In fact the gents who say it with
surveyors instruments have found that
Rock Creek Park, by any standard Of
measurement, is short golf course,
that 1t deserves a par of not more than
SO and that it is only a shade more
than 500 yards in length. All of
which may or may not be help to the
buffers who find it quite long enough,
pwhat with the hills and trees, bitches
and bunkers.
The course as it stands today, meas
ures 5,194 yards and has a par rating
of SO strokes. The first nine is 2,508
yards in length with par of "a, and
the second nine has a length of 1885
with a par of "a. The old score cards,
which are now in use, show a length
of $500 yards, with par of 35-35-70.
The surveyors found that many Of
the holes have been overrated as to
length, while one or two have been
moderated. In the main, however, the
distances on the old score cards are
too long. Here is the way the course
measures up as it will be found on
the new score cards to be issued within
a week or two:

ship lacrosse twelve to Central
High Stadium here next Tuesday

Cambridge team of England, will ex-
hibit one of the most finished players
in the sport in Robert "Moppy'' Pool,

Despite his 20 years. Pool has had 16
years experience in welding lacrosse
stick. At the age of 10 he bsgan as
a member of the Mount Washington
Junior team just outside OF Baltimore,
a cradle for the pastime.
Three years later he began scholas-
tic lacrosse career at Baltimore Poly
technic Institute. where in his fourth
season he was high score in the Scho-
lastic League.
He now is in his third year of the
sport at st. Johns. In his first year
he was high scorer for his team, but
last year he contented himself with
feeding to his two high-scoring team
mates, Spring and Thomson.
This year Pool gives promise Of being
one of the most finished players ever
to hold stick. His ability to handle
the ball can best be appreciated in
watching him turn somersault, stick
in hand without dropping the pellet.

There is one sure way that never

To do this, just get about four

apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to rioisten the scalp and rub

By morning, most, if not all, of
