mo doubt you, or any one who
has been around the ringside, will
agree with me that college boxing
should take from the pros all the
good features of pro boxing and
discard all the bad things. At
Charlottesville it was pitiful to see
a splendid ring figure like Leo
Louck, who learned his stuff the
hard way over many tough 90
rounder against men like Jack Dill
lon and Frank Klaus. apologize for
being pro- And after all his pro
experience has done for Penn State.
With no previous A. A. U. fight
ers allowed in college, the teams
that will win are those coached
by men who have made a study of
boxing. Id say Houck. Eddie La
Fond, Heinie Miller and the like
always will have good teams.
Cheering Rule Has Merit.
"On that A. A. U. rule I believe
there ought to be limit. Locally
you have Jim Koustenas, II years
old. AS soon as he heard of that
non-A. A. U. rule he dropped out,
observing rule even before it ap-
piled to him. Fellows like that, for
instance, should not be barred
Neither should lads like
Ivan NedOmatsky or Mike
Lombardo. Both lost bouts
while freshmen at Maryland
in the Golden Gloves tourna-
ment here in 1884.
"On the cheering, I believe the
only thing to be said in favor of
the present rule. and it may be
worth while, is that all the cheering
is for the home team. These kids
are not hardened fighters. They all
pay too much attention to the yell
ing and it may be a good thing to
keep that restriction about no
cheering while the bouts are in
progress.
Anyway, those guys missed the
mark mile when they passed those
rules. Helping the kids-phooey.
They're handing 'em camouflaged
crutcheS."

The amateur championship, al
though encountering unfavorable
weather conditions, brought out
some fine play and most interesting
matches. Both the finalists de-
feated many of our best golfers to
reach the last round, showing them
selves to be fine competitors in
match play. Willie Turnesa is a
splendid champion.
After there had been a bad scare
the first day of the tournament on
account of an electric storm, a large
steel tire rim was suspended and
equipped with a heavy sledge ham,
mer, the idea being to ring this i'm
provised gong certain number of
times to warn the players that play
was being suspended during a storm
until the gong was rung again, when
play would be resumed. This plan
probably will be used with some
kind of equipment in future cham
pionships to avoid as much as pos
sible the dangers of lightning.
Outlook for Year Bright.
The Women'S and public links
championships were outstanding for
large entries and fine golf, and q
new champion was crowned in each
event, Patty Berg in the women s
and AL Leach in the public links.
The outlook for the coming year
is surely promising.
Never have the fields in all classes
had so many fine players, any one
of whom has the possibilities OF
becoming champion.
No important changes in the rules
are contemplated this year.
The trial stymie rule put into
effect last year appears to have been
we'll received and the Executive
Committee feels it deserves another
years trial before making a can
vass as to its popularity.
The association expects to enlarge
the service of its greens section
during the coming year, among the
developments being the resumption
of serial publication. similar to
the old green section of the Bulletin.
On the whole, I could only wish
that the world were on as peaceful
and happy basis as the game of
golf in America for the coming year.

IF we're to protect the players

the East and Midwest, by arous-
ing in the public a liking for fast,
violent contact between players.
He theorized that it was to meet

BY A. M. REID,


President, United States Golf Association.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The year
1888 was memorable and success
full one in golf.
From reports of sales of sport
ing goods we learn that golf has
reached the top of the list, after
starting from nothing so years ago.
A census for 1887 shows that $13,-
760, ,337 worth of golf accessories was
produced during that year, not
counting such things as sweaters,
shoes, other clothing and many
articles that might we'll be cred
tied to golf equipment. Golf balls
alone accounted for more than
$4,000 900.
Perhaps the outstanding happen
ing of 1888 was the winning of the
Walker Cup for the first time by
Great Britain. I think all Amer
ican golfers feel that losing this
international match was a very
healthy development for the game
in this country, as well as in Great
Britain, making for keener rivalry
by both teams for 1910.
Our Women's team won the Curtis
Cup. making splendid comeback
in the singles after the British
team had gained a considerable ad-
vantage in foursomes.
Golf Standard Is High.
Turning to our own champion
ships, each one produced a very
high standard of golf and the usual
crop of fine young players was
coming on at a great pace.
Ralph Guldahls repeat in the
open was a remarkable feat, espe-
cially his wide margin Of victory in
such powerful field.
This tournament, played in Den
yer, Colo, the farthest point west
that it ever has been held, was a
great success from every stand
point and convinced the associa-
/ tons Executive Committee that
the open can be a success in almost
any section of the United States
where a golf course is available.

Georges Didn't Notice
SeneeoIese Get Up

They fought at the Buffalo Velo-
drome, just outside the gates of
Paris. Carpenter had trained
mostly on champagne, but he had
no worries after Sikh took the short
count in the first round like a
Barrymore. The Bell saved him in
the second. He went down again
in the third, and Gorgeous Georges
turned to salute the worshipping
throng, not observing that the
battler had shaken off his coma
and was rising to his feet, scenario
or no scenario.
A moment later, left hand came
sailing from back of second base
into Carpenters chops and he was
never the same orchid man again.
He went down and out in the sixth,
and his title went with him.
The stricken NJ Descamps went
to bed, where he remained for six
days, plucking feebly at the coverlet
and calling down the curse of St.
Joseph upon all Senegalese and their
managers. Meanwhile, NJ Charlie
Hellers hustled off to notify the
sports writer's of Paris. who had
seen the script beforehand and
written the story of Carpenters
triumph in their offices, without
bothering to go to the fight.
The result electrified everybody
but Sikh, M. Hellers and M. Hellers'
friends, who were legion.
The battler and his manager
had separated by the time Sikh went
to Dublin, Ireland, of all places, to
defend his title against Michael
Francis McTigue on ST. Patrick S
Day. He lost it. A few years later
they found him dead, shot in the
back, in the Hell's Kitchen section
of New York City.
His career was short But one
trip to the tank (and out of it,
brought him more glory and excite
ment than come to the average
Senegalese in a lifetime of Sum-
days.

"Sure. they want to protect the

kid gets hurt. The smart thing to
do is to hang on until his head

boxing? No, because they prohibit
clinching or infighting. He's got to
stand up there and duck, block it or
take it.
"And times out Of 10 you'll
find he just takes it because
his head isn't clear enough to
duck or block.

Quick Victory Written
For Carpenter

In September 1922. there was a
bout of fisticuffS between Georges
Carpenter, the orchid man, and
Battling Sikh, the singular Senega-
lese. which MI. Tom Topping, a
Paris historian, has labeled the
double cross of the century Mr..
Topping eXaggerates a little, but the
fight did have its points.
Carpenter and Dempsey drew the
first S1,000000 gate in 1921, and
Carpenter was sadly battered. He
returned to France to find that his
prestige as the idol of the nation
was down several points in the open
market. He still had a title-World
light-heavyweight champion - and
his manager, the temperamental
M. Francois Descamps, decided to
defend it against a soft touch, for
rebuilding purposes.
The soft touch was Louis Phal
or Battling Sikh. one skip and a
half jump out of the jungles of
Senegal. After the papers were
signed. Sikh had the effrontery to
slaughter one Knockout Marchand
and M. Descamps became slightly
Ill at ease. He figured that there
is such a thing as being three
quarters certain, and also such a
thing as being absolutely certain
M. Descamps' sympathies lay with

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-Sports fans
at wrestling bouts, at professional
tennis matches, at horse races, but
mostly at fights contested under the
August code of the late Marques
of Queensberry-have found a sort
of devious enjoyment for years in
putting their fingers to their noses
and yelling "fake!"
It's nice to feel that you are in
the know. and if you 60 looking
for it, you can find symptoms of
skullduggery in any kind of con-
test. The symptoms will be there,
even if the skullduggery is not.
Sherlock Holmes, reaching for the
needle, used to tell DR.. Watson that
when you form a hypothesis first
and fit the facts to it afterWard,
you'll get the answer you want.
1T won't be the right answer,
Watson said the Baker street
master mind, but it will be the
one you want"
Genuine fixes are few and far
between. Constant crookedneSS in
evitably will kill any game, and
the very fact that sport is alive
and flourishing is evidence enough
that the honest matches outnumber
the business" matches by at least
10 to /. Wrestling is an example
on the wrong side of the book
When wrestling became 80 per cent
fixed, it died as a sport. Today,
wrestling is vaudeville, stuff to be
reviewed by critics and not reported
by reporters.
True tank jobs, when they come
along, usually are highly comical
affairs. I'm not aiming to defraud
the sports fan of his credo. There
is Santa Claus, and he brings his
share of larceny every year. Here
are some authentic fixes. If you
had no other way of knowing, the
parties of the first and second
parts would tell you themselves.
They revel in their memories.
