Fond of Foot Ball.

T>HAT'S tough enough just think
ing about it," smiled Freddie,
who had just come in from trot
through Central Park in preparation
for his title defense against Eddie
(Babe) Risko of Syracuse, N. Y, in
Madison Square Garden February 10.
But liked foot ball. he continued.
"The bumps I took in the game were
tougher than any I've received in the
prize ring with one exception"
That was four years ago, when he
had his jaw broken with the very first
punch in the first round by Leonard
Bennett, a Seattle rival. He swallowed
q lot of blood and was sick boy for
the six rounds the bout went, but he
won the decision.
Since then Freddie has f-actured
three jaws belonging to opponents. His
most famous break was of Vince Dun
dee's "cowcatcher" in 1885, when he
knocked Dundee down 13 times and
finally out in a little more than two
rounds.

THE scene is the eighteenth hole at

characters are John Montague and
S. F. B. Morse, president of the Del

the national amateur championship
of 1929, not even Robert Tyre Jones

Upon discrimination, Mr.. Morse
recalls that, during the Winter of 1929,
the same Robert T. Jones, jr., arrived
on the 560-yard fourteenth with two
prodigious Smacks, to the amazement
of the assembled multitude. Mr..
Morse also recalls that, with a drive
and iron, Mr.. Montague not only
reached the green, but was several
furlongs beyond in the well-known
rough.
Mr.. Montague not only hits the golf
ball untold and unmeasured distances,
but also strikes it with the skill of a

thousand dollars, he gave an illustra-

ut went something like this. It

this year and when I walked on the

dressed In the Phillies suits. Gabby
Hartnett was catching and Dizzy
Dean was pitching. Gus Mancuso
was warming up Carl Hubbell over
by the dugout. Camilli was on first,
Billy Herman on second, Bill urges
at short, and Pepper Martin was
standing on third taking a chew Of
tobacco Then I looked out in the
outfield and there stood Joe Med
wick, Terry Moore, and Mel OFT.
Il walked up TO Hartnett and
said, 'Gabby, what the hell Is going
on here?' and he told me they all
had been bought by Philadelphia
and that I was TO manage them
during the 1887 season. Well, the
dream skipped while and the next
thing I knew 1t was opening day.
And how do you think we opened?
With a doublehcader against the
Cards and Giants. That was the
sweetest part Of the dream--getting
a crack at the two clubs who have
been beating out the Phillies brains
year after year. Did we knock hell
out Of 'em!. We beat the Cards
something like II to 4, and the
Giants by eleven runs.
Then came another very delight
full part Of the dream. Soon as the
games were over I walked over to
Terry and Frisch, and with kind
smile on my face, wished 'em bet
ter luck next time. That's what
Bill and Frank have been saying
to me for years, and they never
have meant any Of 1t any more than
I did in the dream"
