JUMPING the gun by several days
in the hope of reaching Los
~ Angeles in time to play in the
L. A. open championship, Ro-
land Mackenzie plans to leave town
tomorrow on the first leg of the long
drive to California. He originally had
planned to shove off on New Year
day, but his anxiety to play in the Los
Angeles open, billed for January IL
to IA. prompted his earlier departure.
So the young man will hop in his new
car tomorrow, not to return until
March l after tour of the Pacific
Coast and Florida.
Il hope to arrive in California about
January or 7 to give me several days
practice prior to the Los Angeles tour
nament," Roland said. THE folks
here at Congressional are willing to
have me go and I'm anxious to get
away"
Back In the woods, near the club,
where Roland has q replica of an
early frontier log cabin, stands a big
silver bowl won by the young man
three or four years ago when he was
an amateur. 1t represents the low
amateur prize in the Los Angeles open
tournament and it must have cost
half a grand, so heavy Is it. But this
year he goes out with sterner things in
mind than silver bowls. He is a pro-
fessional playing for money, instead
of glory and silver, and If he wins a
spot in the money he will be paid of
in something more substantial than
a big bowl.

Crowd Pities Spring.

IN THE day of the fight jackson
refused to referee. Instead, he
said, he would stand outside the
ring and promptly dispose of the first
spectator who gave any evidence OF
creating disorder. All accounts agree
that it was the most orderly fight ever
witnessed in Great Britain. All were
surprised at the appearance of Spring,
who was described as fine as stall
lion, strong as an OK, light and active
as a deer, confident as a lion" But
they pitied him when he faced the
punches of Neat.
Four minutes elapsed before a blow
was struck. For two minutes the men
glared, at each other, awaiting an
opening, and each determined to avoid
giving first blood" For two minutes
more Neat chased the cleverly lodging
Spring around the ring. Desperately,
Neat strove to get in punch. He only
landed glancing blows at best, while
Spring relentlessy cut his face. The
fight ended in the eighth round when
Spring, still light on his feet as a
cork" knocked Neat down. The lat
ter arose with broken arm.
THE abrupt termination Of the
battle" says the Literary Humbug,
produced sensations among the back
ers of Neat not easy to be described,
and such coarse expressions were ut
tered that we cannot give place to
them on our pages. A few positively
acted like madmen. But the ready
fists Of Jackson we're a safeguard
against any more effective demonstra-
ton"
Spring, the paper explained. "had
won the battle before it occurred" and
now was undisputed champion of Eng
land.

CRAFTY BRITISH
WITH GOLF DATES
Ryder Cup Play Is Slated
for September 28, 20 at
Ridgewood, N. J.

By the Associated Press.
"A YEW YORK, December 26.-The
nj 1885 Ryder Cup golf matches.
between teams of British and
American professionals. will
be played September 20 and 20 on the
links Of the Ridgewood, N. j., Country
Club.
George r. Jacobus, president Of the
Professional Golfers Association Of
America, announced the dates, which
amount to a capitulation to the invad-
ers who opposed the plan to hold the
international competition close to the
American open championship In the
first week of June.
The British p. G. A. pointed out
that if the matches were contested
early in June they would have to hur-
ry back to England for the British
open and would have little or no time
to prepare for their national cham
pionship.
The decision to yield to the British
is Disappointing to the United States
Golf Association, which was counting
on the presence Of the English mashie
swingers in this country to give the
national open q truly international
aspect.

THIS left Neat for Spring to over
come. and few seriously believed
he could do it. Spring had
learned boxing from Crib. He was a
clever runner and faller. but was not
credited with having Cribs punch.
He was referred to rather contemptu-
ouSly as the "lady's maid fighter" Z"
"the China man" and "the fellow who
couldn't make dent in a pound OF
butter" Neat, on the other hand, had
little science, but he was a killer
literally. He had punch which 1t
was believed no science could with
stand and he boaSted that Spring
never would get up once he knocked
him down.
Betting was heavy on Neat in the
crowd of 10000 that assembled at
Andover in 1928 to witness the battle.
1t was one of the largest crowds yet
to attend a fight in England There
were many threats to prevent it.
Within few days of the appointed
time" says the Literary Humbug of
September, 1873, some of the beaks of

erset discovered much bad taste by
issuing warrants to prevent an exhi-
bition of this branch of the fine arts.

N YEW YORK, December 26.-Bol-
M stored by three examples of
frank discussion, the delegates
to the annual National Col
legiate Athletic Association conven-
ton and to the meetings of three
other college sports bodies, will meet
tomorrow to consider primarily the
question of recruiting and subsidizing
in college athletics.
In Cornelrs recent open statement
of its attitude toward scholarships for
athletes, the revelations of President
Ralph c. Hutchinson of Washington
and Jefferson as to what 1t once cost
his college to maintain athletic schol-
arships and the remarks Of Eddie
Casey. retiring Harvard coach, anent
the difficulty of rounding up a good
foot ball team when other institutions
were actively bidding for players,
there is plenty of subject matter for
the discussions.
The round table conference on the
recruiting situation Is one OF the first
events scheduled in the two-day series
Of the gathering which winds up Fri
day night with the annual foot ball
coaches dinner. Prot. z. G. eleven
ger of Indiana University will preside
at this gathering. which will be at

SHEPARD HAS TASK
TO KEEP UP RECORD
Tarheel Basket Mentor, Who Has
Winning Average of .767, Is
Rebuilding This Year.

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., December 26.
" Coach Bo Shepard, who is be-
ginning his fourth season as
mentor of North Carolina's basket ball
squad, has a batting average Of .767
to live up to for the three previous
quints he has put on the hardwood
here.
The Tarhee1s, in their three years
under their young tutor and ex-Army
guard, have amasSed an enviable rec
ord of IS victories in so starts.
The 1884 quint topped the perform
ance. winning l8 of % games.
His record for one year as freshman
and three seasons as varsity coach
stands at 81 victories and II bsses, a
percentage of ITO.
Shepard faces knotty problem this
year. Five letter men were graduated,
including two all-Southerns, Dave Nc
Cachren and Virgil Weathers, and the
material coming up from the frosh
was scant. The tossers are small, the
center, Glace. being the only man to
top feet, and there is little reserve
strength.
His quint viii be built around the
three regulars back from the 1894
team, Capt Aitken at forward. Giace

like the fate of two nations contending

The jackson" alluded to was Gen
tleman John" Jackson, proprietor of
a boxing school attended largely by
the nobility and best known for his
intimate friendship with Lord Byron.
For long time during the poets exile
this pugilist practically served as his
business agent in England. He had
succeeded Mendoza as the master mind
of British pugilisn at time when
there was a growing opposition to the
sport on the part of magistrates and
churchmen and when exile to Aus
tralia might be the fate of pugilist
who injured his opponent.
Jackson correctly reasoned that the
laws would not be enforced so long as
fighting was good business" and so
long as the crowds were kept in rea-
sonable order. He selected site near
the city of Andover for the battle.
The mayor was a churchman VINO
looked with horror on the event. Jack
son arranged for committee OF the
towns merchants to wait upon the
mayor and insist that nothing be done
to stop the flow of money which the
London crowds would bring to them.

sharply off to the right, so the ball

Tommy Armour, who used to play
Burning Tree while tuning up for his
championship forays, regards that
third hole as one of the finest any
where. 1T is q really fine shot, "
Tommy used to say, and I always
approach it with feeling of awe as

Placed in an attractive setting Of

and one whose like you won't often
