JACK BLACKBURN, they call him.
Charles Henry, he was christened
at Versailles, KY, in 1883. Quick on
his feet. clever on defense, carrying
a jarring right, the kind that made
day. this feet IL inches tall Negro
IS doing today at the Arcade Gym
nasium OF Chicago what he did for
tors when he helped train them for
important fights. AS Lena" he was
known to them, but to the boys of
this era. is simply Jack.
twenty-five years ago, Blackburn,
at the height Of his career and close
to the top of the lightweight division,
put himself out of the champion
ship picture by being sentenced to
prison for inf1icting a gun wound on
a friend, when, if he hadn't lost his
head in the quarrel that had ended
SO disastrously for him, he might
have been crowned king of his divi-
sion. 1t was all a mistake, Black
burn insisted, but the law took its
course and prospective champion
was ushered out Of the spotlight.
Today Blackburn is almost so
years old. yet shows no traces Of the
worries and hardships through which
he has been. Tall lean, muscular,
stately in appearance, he looks every
inch the fighter. yet he admits that
he could probably stand no more
than three rounds against some of
the youngsters whom he trains.
But when Lena" was in his hey
day, there wasn't a cleverer boxer
In the game. His bouts with such
masters as Joe Cans and Sam Lang
ford, were masterpieces. He fought
Langford three times, and though
he didn't win any Of these bouts,
each was declared draw, two Is and
one 10. When one realizes what q
tremendous hitter Langford was, he
can readily gauge the ability of
Blackburn. At his best, Lena" never
weighed more than 140 pounds, yet
he never raised any objections to
fighting men IS pounds heavier.
The Blackburn of today hasn't
much of Gods goods, but he has
his health and enjoys his work as
physical culture instructor to Chi
cago's fighters.

PAIR Of new golf holes that are

PAlR OF new gol1 hOleS tnat are
~ certain to be rated among the
~ best finishing holes around
Washington have Just been put
in play at the Beaver Dam Country
Club by way of rounding out the i'm
provements that finish up the job Of
putting Beaver Dam once more on a
stable foundation after the club house
fire Of last Winter. With the new club
house located 200 yards north of the
old house. 1t was necessary to construct
new eighteenth green near the new
house, so M. H. Maier and his Golf
Committee got together and thought
out scheme to bring this about. They
finally settled on plan to abandon the
old seventeenth and eighteenth holes
in their entirety, and during the
months while the new house has been
in the building the new holes also have
been under construction.
They have just been thrown open for
the first time to the members of the
club, who, after playing them, are GER
tain that they are even better holes
than the old finishing holes on the
Beaver Dam layout.
4 LITTLE length has been lost in the
"a rebuilding process, but 1t takes
nothing away from the quality OF
the golf. For example, the old seven
teenth was about 215 yards in length
while the new seventeenth is about 175
yards. The old eighteenth was around
500 wards long while the new eighteenth
is about 470 yards in length. But both
of them are tough golf holes and both
call for absolute accuracy.
The eighteenth is rated par 5. but
it can be reached with two good shots.
From the tee good shot will carry
ditch 100 yards away and fine second
shot will carry another ditch and run
up onto the green The professionals
who played the new holes yesterday in
an exhibition match declared them fine
holes and rated them among the best
finishing holes they know.
Al Houghton of Kenwood was the
bright star of the professional match,
registering a subpar 72 to set new
record for the course, breaking the old
record of 73, held by Martin Mccarthy.
Houghton and Bob Barnett, the Chevy
Chase pro, trounced Cliff Spencer, the
new Beaver Dam professional, and his
brother Glenn. from the Maryland
Country Club, by a score Of and 4.
