Crossman, son. RUGBY IN NEW ZEALAND According to the first census of national sports in New Zealand, Rugby football holds the premier position. The number of active players in that country is 40,000, including 12,000 schoolboys. FROM KANGAROO LAND Comes a Warning to Davis Tennis Champions Everybody Plays Golf Now Time was, and not so very many years ago, when golf in the United States was looked upon as a kids' game. “Huh,” said the older folks, “it’s nothing but shinny. All you have to do is—take a ball and knock it around the lot; just as you do in shinny; that’s all.” But time brings changes, progress; educates the masses; and so it has worked with golf, all sorts and conditions within the masses having taken up the game, having become educated in the technique, until today it is played by numbers uncountable. Some play it for the sport; others for the exercise it promotes; while others indulge in it for the money garnered—the betting end of the game, as it were. None were such outright scoffers at golf as the professional athletes; the boxers, the baseball players, the hockey players, and this class snickered in no uncertain terms whenever they saw a man rigged out with his trappings, or carrying the implements of the pastime, or, in other words, “that silly game.” Leave it to time, however, to work changes. And thus, today, we see the professional athletes of all branches flocking to the courses, clubs in hand. “Babe” Ruth, "Ty" Cobb and a number of the big “lights” of the diamond are today devotees of the game; while the pugilists, those that were once champions, as well as the present-day champions, think so little of golf as a “sissy” game that they spend hours knocking the ball around the greens. Old Jim Willard is a fanatic, as is Jimmy Wilde, the one-time flyweight champion. Bombardier Billy Wells, the well-known English light-heavyweight, is not only a devotee of the game but is a top-notch performer, and the king of them all, Jack Dempsey, totes his sticks to the

Old Jim Willard is a fanatic, as is Jimmy Wilde, the one-time flyweight champion. Bombardier Billy Wells, the well-known English light-heavyweight, is not only a devotee of the game but is a top-notch performer, and the king of them all, Jack Dempsey, totes his sticks to the velvet sward and tees off for a round of eighteen holes just as comfortably as though he were entering the “squared-circle” for a 20-round championship bout. It must be remembered, however, that one reason why golf appeals to the professional athlete is the fact that it is one of the few sports he can follow as an amateur. They can cavort around the course with exactly the same standing as any other amateur, or anyone who plays the game for the love of it. Professionals Not Always Record Holders Harking back to the professional and the amateur in sports, it occurs to the writer that the professionals are not always the “cocks of the walk.” Amateurs often beat them at their own game. In the game of golf the amateurs step right along with the professionals in the open tournaments. In shooting, the professionals used to be the big “I am.” Today there are dozens of amateur gunners that are as good, if not better than the professionals. The same holds good at horse-racing. Tennis, of course, has never been professionalized, but the attempt to make college football a professional proposition has been a dismal failure—there’s no “pep” in the

Tennis, of course, has never been professionalized, but the attempt to make college football a professional proposition has been a dismal failure—there’s no “pep” in the men-against-game. While boxing and baseball are the only major sports that thrive through professional channels, so to speak, a good scrap between a pair of amateur boxers, or a good game of sandlot baseball, give more thrills to the minute than the moneyed game does in a month of Sundays. A little bet on the side is, of course, always interesting—but, do the fellows who are paid to uppercut, or crack the ball over the wall, always give their best efforts forward? The amateur always does, consequently the spectator usually gets a rub for his money. The Two Games. Life and sport are much the same; We’re always out to better records made in either game. The winner’s the “go-getter.” In answer to your query—A player on reaching his golf ball after the second shot, finds that a number of twigs blown from a nearby tree practically surround the ball. The ball is resting on a slight incline. The player stooped over and removed several twigs but in no way touched the ball. However, the moment the twigs were removed the ball rolled several inches from its original position. Is there a penalty for such action? The player is within

However, the moment the twigs were removed the ball rolled several inches from its original position. Is there a penalty for such action? The player is within his rights in removing the twigs, they being regarded as loose impediments. However, if the ball moves after the removal of the twigs, the act is held responsible and the player penalized one stroke.—Ed. Irish Evening News. Mrs. Ophelia O’Leary one night was quiet, reading, perusing the news; Mr. O’Leary sat near at her right, A tired of reading, enjoying a snooze, When out of the stillness there suddenly came The voice of Ophelia; “Mike, what does this mean? I read in the paper of yesterday’s game, That down at the ballpark they’re using a screen. They sure need no screen in the wide, open air, So tell me, dear Michael, why is the screen there?” Mr. O’Leary awoke from his snooze, Temper all twisted, and ready to fight; “The screen in the ballpark,” he answered, “they use, That is, if my memory serves me quite right. On days of the game when excitement is keen— With every spectator completely enthralled, As something quite handy and useful between The ball that is fouled and the foul that is bawled.” Mrs. Ophelia O’Leary still read.

NEW YORK, Sunday.—There is going to be the greatest fight throng of the year at the Carpentier-Tunney battle on Tuesday next. The sale of tickets shows a rush that carries one back to the “Battle of the Century” on Bovery’s Thirty Acres. There is a growing belief that Georges has a fine chance to beat Tunney. It all depends upon how much horse power has oozed out of the Frenchman’s right hand. There is no doubt that at sometime or another, probably more than once— if once is not enough—Carp will land that right of his and land it upon the button. Tommy Gibbons, when he sailed for England, smiles when asked about that right. He caught it once in Michigan City. How it felt only himself knows but if one may judge by what happened he didn’t feel it much. “Take time by the forelock,” is the motto of many folk. James O. Anderson of Australia, has paraphrased the old saw to read: “Take tennis by the forehand.” For this added member of the Australian Davis Cup team who threatens to lead the offense in quest of the cup, now held by the United States, has turned

How it felt only himself knows but if one may judge by what happened he didn’t feel it much. “Take time by the forelock,” is the motto of many folk. James O. Anderson of Australia, has paraphrased the old saw to read: “Take tennis by the forehand.” For this added member of the Australian Davis Cup team who threatens to lead the offense in quest of the cup, now held by the United States, has turned back the world’s best stars in international matches with his terrible forehanded playing. Until Anderson’s decision the Australians were depending upon Pat O’Hara Wood and Gerald Patterson, to carry them to the challenge round and into possession of the cup. Wood and Patterson alone meant real opposition. Anderson’s entry gives the team from the distant land himself and Patterson for the singles matches and O’Hara Wood fresh for the doubles, with Patterson as a mate—a powerful combination. One does not have to identify Anderson to close followers of tennis. He is the man who defeated William M. Johnston, “Our Little Bill,” in the opening singles match last year in the challenge matches. Tilden’s victory in the other singles match halted the Australian drive for the cup. Last year was not Anderson’s first on the cup team, by any means; He represented his country, in the belated series of 1919 and again in 1921. In the former series Anderson was forced to bow to the wonderful playing of Kingscote, the star of the British team the Antipodeans faced. Anderson got sweet revenge, however, by defeating Lowe in the other singles event. The Australian is not a specialist. While his great forehand

Anderson got sweet revenge, however, by defeating Lowe in the other singles event. The Australian is not a specialist. While his great forehand stroke is his main stock in trade, he also has a sound backstroke that is not to be lightly regarded. His great height, perhaps, helps him in his forehand work. He seems to handle the most difficult returns with little apparent effort, thanks to his raking build. His forehand stroke has been likened to that employed by “Little” Bill Johnston although Bill counts upon his speed and uncanny judgment to help him cover returns that Anderson’s build brings to him. He has had a notable career, all told, at the game. Back in 1913 he defeated F. G. Lowe. (It was A. H. Lowe he met in 1919), in what was classified as one of the best bits of tennis at that time. In 1919, which was one of his banner years, Anderson met and defeated Brookes in a thrilling match in Melbourne. 11 — ANDES Aug. 22, From La Rochelle-Pallice.
