McAvoy Has Weight Edge.

THE American went down three more
times for counts of three, five and
eight before McAvoy pinned him
against the ropes and sledged him to
the floor for the final count.
Risko, who had climbed to his feet
five times, made one futile gesture
to rise again, as the crowd pleaded
with him to get up.
He couldn't make 1t, however, and
he settled back as the referee counted
him out.
McAvoy, who made an auspicious
start here when he outpointed AL
Mccoy of Boston. weighed 1881
pounds, ~ more than Risko.

Fills Crying Need in London.

London is the perfect spot for
Loughrau. In the first place, a boxer
of Tomny's skill, though he may be
getting a bit old and slow for the
opponents who know him so well over
here, can't fail to lick the cream Of
the English crop. In the second place,
there's been a dearth of niceness in
London, famine in manners and
good taste that has shaken the fight
business to its very foundation.
The last nice English heavy
weight was Painting Phil Scott,
the swooning swan of Soho.
Philip fell from grace through the
deplorable habit he acquired of clutch
ing his thigh and shrieking "foul!''
in cultured tones. That queered him
with the better people on both sides
Of the Atlantic and eventually, though
none too soon, it Queered him with the
fight promoters. When last seen, he
was doing a nice but futile job of tray
lifting in a London tea shoppe.
Even more genteel than Scott was
one of -his predecessors, Billy Bonn
bardier Wells. Above everything else,
Billy was nice to look at. All London
applauded the classic beauty of his
fight pose, the Greek symmetry OF
his body and the easy grace of his
manner. He came to New York and
proved that he could fall still more

Might Be too Easy.

AT THIS point Instructor Loos
looked up and asked-"Would
you mind hitting few shots the
way want you to swing?" Instruc-
tor Loos placed the club with the
fingers almost entirely in control.
He then loosened the wrist and FORE
arm tautness-"keep 'em slack" he
said.
The result was more than pleasing.
There was combination of much
better distance and much better di-
rection. There was an absence of
body lurching and shoulder heaving,
one of the sureSt signs that the hands
are tied up and that the wrists are
in heavy knots, of no use at all.
Instructor Loos sighed again.

why Caddies Become Stars.


I'LL give you an illustration" Loos
continued. who make the great
golfers? The caddies who get a
mental picture Of good swinging and
then initiate it. There Is nothing
synthetic about their swings. They
have a clear picture in their minds
Of correct swinging. This list in
cludes such stars as Hagen, Sarazen,
Runyan. Horton Smith Mac Smith,
Picard, most of the leaders. If a
caddie can get this picture, why can't
leading banker, lawyer or writer?
The answer is that the caddie de-
pends on this picture, while the
smarter people have theories of their
own, mostly bad theories, and they
are trying out q dozen things. The
golf swing isn't difficult or intricate.
1t Is the average golfer who makes
1t so.
'The game Of golf Is a matter Of
simple concentration along a few
simple lines. And yet 90 per cent
of all golfers make the game about
four times as difficult as really it
Is because they refuse to use their
heads. I'm not talking about cham
pionship golf. I'm talking about the
low 80s or the late 70s, which any
normal man should play, as against
the 81 or the l16 that so many Of
them shoot. They just go on and on
repeating their faults, thinking of their
mistakes. thinking of cures for q
slice or hook or something else"

about his feet-his knees-his hips

they should all do? I can understand
easily why Ernest Jones of the Wom-
