Big Difference

We thought there was quite
a contrast in the reaction OF
the general public to the de-
parture of Bobby Jones and
Bill Tilden from the amateur
competitive ranks.
While Jones leaving was uni.
versaIly regretted in view Of
the fine sportsmanship he has
ever shown on the golf links,
the same can not be said OF
Tnden's launching into q busi-
ness career based on his ten
mis- fame. Too temperamental
entirely even for one of his
achievements, usually main
tanning little regard for the
galleries before which he
played and otherwise not q
100 per cent sportsman. Tilden
does not leave the aching void
in tennis that Bobby Jones
left in golf.
No man in American sports
history ever bore his laurels
more gracefully than Jones. He
was absolutely unspoiled by
his greatness. The same can
not be said for Tilden-alas
and alack-a-day!

DUE On NAT

An old-fashioned grudge wreS-

night, when Chief White Feather
and Nick Nester tangle in one OF
the preliminary bouts on Pro
moter Joe Turner's program at
the washington Auditorium.
This pair hooked up in a siz-
zliug 15-minute encounter last
week and they spared nothing:
The fans were provided thrill
after thrill and Referee BennIe
Bortnick had a hard time separat-
ing the combatants when the time
limit whistle sounded.
Indeed, White Feather was so
cispleased with the treatment Of
the fans, who habitually booed
him, that he hurriedly left the
ring without shaking the hand Of
Nester. The latter didn't approve
of this unSportsmanlike deed and
asked Turner to book him again
with the Indian.

HARVEY MEETS
VINCE DUNDEE

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Having
pulled a financial and artistic
bloomer by staging the Jack
Renault-Pierre Charles nightmare
last week, Madison Square Gar
den will attempt to get out of
the red by adding a dash of the
Wellknown international flavor
to this Fridays card. Len Har-
vey, crack British middleweight,
is meeting Vince Dundee, Of Bal
timore.
Harvey'S American debut Is
expected to win back the Gus
toners who left the Garden
moaning after watching RenauTt
and Charles dance the kiss
waltz for 10 dreary rounds.
1t is hoped that the Britisher,
who has lost but one of his $50
fights, will instill new life into
the middleweight division, now
Stagnant as the result of Mickey
Walkers refusal to defend his
crown.

Racing in Slump

The sport of racing horses
has passed through some very
trying days in the last twelve
month, and track officials are
doing some tall thinking along
the lines of stabilizing (no pun
intended things before racing
falls to the low estate that has
overcome prize fighting.
Laurel, Belmont, Saratoga and
Arlington Downs we're the only
tracks to show a profit during
the racing season Of 1880. The
way for track interests to hold
their game together is to take
the public into greater consider
alton and see that they get a
run for their money.
Plenty of squawkinG was heard
in Maryland last fan over the
conduct Of the sport, and there
is much cleaning up to be done
before the full confidence Of the
public Is restored.
