To-day's Sport
 Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 New York, May 16.-tUP)- The ancient and honorable and fine and unlifting sport of boxing has reached very sad state, in- deed, when a public appearance of Americu's finest and fairest heavy weight flower brings forth nothing more deafening than silence, noth- ing more enthusiastic than n few involuntary yawns
 Such an unbelievable thing hap. pencd no later than Friday night when Jack Sharkey, acting as sec ond to Ernie Schaaf. stepped into the center of the Madison Square Garden ring while his man received instructions from the referee.
 There stood Sharkey, the man this country is counting on to re- store the coveted title to the land of the brave and the home of tho free. Clad in Q snow white sweat CT, the Kleig lights beating down on his alabaster brow, he was n noble and arresting figure. AS as reached the center of the ring, Sharkey lifted his face. prepared for the roar of the crowd.
 He got a roar all right; roar or silence that made the Sahara des- ert at midnight sound like Times Square Ut high noon in comparl- son. He stood 1t as long as he could, which was for n couple of seconds, and then scampered to tho ropes nnd vaulted over to the se- clusion of his seconds corner. ha ~ls 1tftnd hta fann upward he expected one of two things, (a) a mighty ovtburst of boos, hisses, snarls and threats, or | (b) q moderate mess of cheers. | The complete absence of the boos was a most sinister sign. Here- tofore, the Boston sailor has been popular because he was so un- popular. People have been known to pay good money just to be able to tell him, from tho safety of n balcony seat. of course, just what they thought of him as CD fight. CT, t2) n man, (3) Q citizen. and | (4) a bum. He had come to love thls razzlng, and gained no small measure Of satisfactio out of the fact that he was undoubted. ly the most cordially disliked ln. dividual in the manly art of disar. ranging profiles.
 The reception. insofar as thu, | particular crowd was concerned ! could moan but one thing--Shar. key had ceased to interest. And when Q fighter ceases to interest he might just us well hang up his ] gloves and g oin for clipping the {, neighbours lawns.
 | Let US not count the Sharkey man out, however. The snubbinp probably was just the thing needed to snap him out of his lethargy and send him off on q new whirl oi disagre enbilities, If there be such n word. From now on until time for the fight 1t will take pretty 1 foxy photographic to catch him smiling. shaking Hands, pnttinr 1 puppies on the heads, and slipping | quarters to urchins along tho street.
 And Sharkey can he counted or to have at least one ace up hii sleeve---one master stroke thn' will bring the boos and hissei pouring down upon his head
 Those who were present at hi' first fight with Schmeiing wil
 neker forget Sharkeys entrance
 m entrance that brought hin squarely down the long pathwa,
 from the dressing room 10 tho rint completely enfolded sn an Ameri
 can flag.
 brought the thousands of custom
 CTS to their feet for resoundint thunder of disapproval. Sharke!

Six Gents q Round
 Caddy Builds Three
 Hundred Golf Links

One day the shaft of his club was broken. Ross found car- penter who offered to replace the splintered shaft with one of ash provided Ross gave two barn doors three coats of paint. The young man tackled the job, which re- quired four hours after school for 12 days.
 With his newly -shafted club. Ross hurried to the links. On the third hole the clubhead of this dearly-earned cleek flew off. He has not forgiven the carpenter to this day.
 While a professional at Dornoch. Scotland, his birthplace in 1872, Ross met Robert Wilson, a Har- yard professor. who suggested that he come to America, where golf was just being introduced.
 Ills first position as q pro in America was at tho oakley Coun. try club in Boston which he held for nine years before going to Pinehurst In 1889.
 With Jack Jolley, in 1906, Ross played tho first gamo of moonlight golf in America. Followed by u gallery of 500. he rounded the pinehurgt course in 80, which was perfect golf in those days.
 In 1907 he returned to England and was the first American pro- fessional to enter the British open, in which he also was the first American to win money prize.
 The early courses in America were unscientific. Ross introduced traps. Golfers at first thought he had ruined the game, He clung 10 his idea, however. and traps be- came popular hazards of the game
 Two thousand men arc employed by Ross in constructing courses yearly, which cost from $50, 900 to us high as $24S.000 for IS holes. It requires three years of work before course is in shape to be y.ln va h1o

A caddy who toiled for 6 cents m hour Is the man who built more than 800 golf courses in America.
 The man is Donald J. Ross. and he is the last of the early pioneers of golf in this country. Courses he has designed and constructed include such famous layouts as In- verness, scene of the 1881 National Open; Beverly in Chicago where the Amateur was played last year; Scioto, host to the Ryder cup matches In 1881; the Buffalo Coun- try club the new course ut East Lake, home course of Bobby Jones, the Augusta Country club course, and tho S1 holes at Pinehurst, one of the golf Meccas of the United States.
 More than half of the golfers in this country have played once or twice on course designed by Ross.
 Ross, at 59, Is active as the youngest professional. He has been pro ut Pinehurst since 1889. He is q member of the Tin Whistles and recently set the course record at pinehurst with n G6. round In which his card showed 10 threes.
 Here Is the card of Donald Ross, a man 59 years old: Out--333, 334. 353; in--454, 343, 555. Don Ross not only can build courses but he can play them! tt
 Ross carly years were spent at St Andrews, Scotland, where he caddied at the prevailing rate of pay, 6 cents per round, He learned club making on the side from the daddy of golf. Tom Norris, a saint to early golfers.
 His first club was n discarded left. handed iron with which he learned to hit them from the port side. Later he came Into posses sion of a right-handed cleek, which ba plnNa1 appaa. h n n1a1

If yesterdays financial returns from a City Amateur league double header at Hamilton Park Is any indication, the boys are going to have tough going this year, inso. fur as meeting their expenses Is concerned. A crowd of about B.. 800 contributed $55 tO the fund that was hoped for to take care Of injuries to league players suf. fercd last season. The answer Is that the fans contributed less than n penny apiece for more than two hours of entertainment. Two weeks ago, the City league officials were pOidcring the question as to whether or not they should try to collect q ten cent admission fee. The opinion of the majority Of managers and league officers was in favor of allowing the fans to be guided by their own cOnsclcnccs and means In regard to cOntrlbu- tons at Hamilton Park.
