He had quick hand action and quick

quick reflexes, lack of worry over re-
suits and lack of fear. He was equipped
to be an all-America back, a major
league star at base ball or one of the
best golfers of all time. And there
was basket ball nd hunting on the
side
His main trouble was that he had
. restless, rowing nature which refused
to give any one sport its proper chance
His amazing physical energy was
more than young fellow could keep
fixed in one place. He played for a

WISHES He OWNED
REPORTED RICHES
Amazing Physical Energy
Kept Him From Focusing
on Any One Sport.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

TINE athletic story and the gen.
eral life of John Montague,
also known as Laverne Moore
and the Mystery Golfer, is one
ef the thrilling melodramas of sport.
1t goes back a matter OF 18 years
10 the time when Montague was only
IA years old-when even then he was
known as an athletic prodigy around
Syracuse. For, at the age of IA. he
was one OF the crack young golfers
around his home district, and, at the
same age, in prep base ball game,
he struck out 19 men.
Montague came to his heritage of
speed and strength in a logical fashion.
His father, Matt Moore, a hard-work-
Ing citizen, one of 13 children, was
one OF the strongest men of his time.
I'm his prime, my father was able
to lift as much as 500 pounds" Monty
told me. He not only had strength,
but also something much more i'm
portant-quick strength. A slow,
strong man means nothing in sport.
When 1 was playing foot ball, base
ball, golf and basket ball l never
smoked nor took drink. l never
broke training in any way 1 was
only interested in sport and any form
OF outdoor life. In order TO keep from
developing bulky muscles, used to
have heavy weights tied to both wrists
and l would stand for an hour or
longer at time to draw all my mus
cles into place" These bulky mus
cles, developed from too many sports,
wrecked Schoolboy Rowe after two
years in the big leagues
Montague. S feet 10, weighing 225
pounds, is powerfully built. hasn't a
big muscle TO show on any part of
his body, and yet he comes close to
being the fastest strong man l ever
have seen.
