Bush, Jr., Has Lowest Score CHATTANOOGA, TENN., June s.—Sixty-four of the South’s crack golfers are playing the final eighteen holes of the elimina tion flight at the course of the Golf and Country club this morning to determine the 32 players who shall comprise the championship flight of the eleventh annual tournament of the Southern Golf association. This flight also determines the win ner of the medal for low qualifying score. > So clean did the players of the two golf clubs of New Orleans sweep the first half of the qualify ing round yesterday that they won th.e team prizes, the only trophies decided on that day’s play, and put eo many players around the top as to assure them the low score prize, and. unless some ill luck befalls, the championship as well. The New Orleans Country club team captured the team prize, with a total of 316. The scores of the players were: J B. Bush, 78; A. F. Schwartz, 78; Whitney Bouden, 80; 6. J. White, 80. The Audubon club of New Orleans was second, with a score of 333. The Birmingham club was third, with a score of 343. All indications point to the Bush brothers as the most formidable contestants. J. B. Bush qualified in the first eighteen holes, with a 78, yesterday morning, but Rube Bush went his brother one better and pulled down a 77. making the last hole in 3 by a magnificent put. Rube outplayed his brother through the seventeenth hole, but flickered on the eighteenth and wasted 6 strokes. It should have been an easy 4 but for carlessness. Rube Is picked by the majority of golfers in attendance as a favorite over his brother as well as the rest of the field. The play of the New Orleans golfers attracted great attention and the Crescent City delegation In the first day’s play completely outclassed everything in sight. Every player who represented the Audubon club of New Orleans qual ified yesterday, not a single one falling below the required 92. The play in the first flight was mediocre, due largely to the heavi ness of the grounds. A slight driz zling rain fell through the first two hours-of play, and those who start ed after the midday hour had a great advantage.. Os the Atlanta players entered F. G. Byrd, H. A. Scott and G.

These, from present appearance, will prove the most formidable entrants of the Cracker capital. Byrd, in the first flight yesterday, was bad ly off and upon one or two occasions all but quit in disgust. The Cracker player could proba bly have made a much better score, but seemed satisfied to qualify. He is expected to show greatly im proved form today. The course was overcrowded and upon several occasions pairs were forced to wait as long as fifteen minutes at the various tees before continuing play. Rube Bush and F. G. Byrd were especially unfor tunate in that respect, the rapidity of their play forcing them to wait at evety tee. Both Bush and Byrd complained at intervals of being stiffened by the enforced inactivi ty. The Atlanta golfers who qualified in the first eighteen holes of play yesterday were: H. G. Scott, 84; F. G. Byrd, 86; G. W. Adair, 87: W. R. Tichenor, 89. and W. H. Rowan, 90. The scores of the other con testants were:. Dr. Frank Holland, 100; P. A Wright 100; R. P. Jones, 93; W. H. Glenn, 106; C. E.

Amazing Form Exhibited by the Stockyards Star in Bronson Batt/e JI’FARUND SURELY THE LAST WORD IN RING SKILL By Ed W. Smith. CHICAGO, June 5. —Small won der, indeed, that so many people- regard Packey Mc- Farland as one of the greatest lightweights that ever lived. As a matter of fact, many regard him as THE greatest, and his showing Against’Ray Bronson, of Indian apolis, bears them out to a marked degree in this stand. Packey is getting steadily better. Each battle he makes shows him to be just a . little better than he was in the previous affair, and today it looks as if the Stock Yards man is absolutely the last word in ring skill. ’ Ray Bronson Is no child at this game of fighting. He is a full grown fighting man and is just about 100 per ’ cent better than a raw hand. Yet he wasn’t much in Packey’s hands: It is true that Packey didn’t knock Ray out, but then nobody else has. so there can be no quarrel with the Chicagoan on that score. But he certainly gave the Hooslef lad a gentleman ly defeat, if there is such a thing in pugilism. He’s There With the Sting. Don't get the impression that Tommy Ryan Out to Develop Flynn Into Another Sharkey LAS VEGAS, N. M„ June 5. The thin,'arid, high altitude air of New Mexico is going to be a big factor in the fight on the Fourth of July between Jack Johnson, king of the heavyweights, and Jim Flynn, the doughty fire man of Pueblo. Johnson isn’t In shape; it’s go ing to be mighty hard for him to get anywhere near the condition he reached when he took the title from Tommy Burns and defended it against Jeffries. This much was palpable to the experts, who saw Johnson attempt to box six rounds in fast style yesterday. The timekeeper cut the rounds, short. Johnson," it was noticed, didn’t perspire. jnuch. He looked atyful tlrech "That’s the altitude. It affects lots of people out here, A man with heart disease would drop dead If he ran a foot race out here. Johnson thinks he Is good because he feels good. There’s a lot of danger In feeling good in a treach erous altitude like this. Sometimes ‘a tnan thinks he’s sick when there’s nothing the matter with him; and you can put a reverse English on that statement out here; sometimes a man thinks he’s In great shape when, as a. matter of fact, he’s far from being in condition," said a na tive son. Champion Is Peeved. Johnson was peeved when told that h ! S workout had hot been im-* presslve. “You ought to wear specs. I never felt better and I know I am working as well as I ever did in my life,” he said. "This talk about altitude makes me tired. lam going to work hard all month; I want to get down to 215 pounds. And the people who think I am a back number are kid ding themselves. Say for me that Flynn won’t go twelve rounds with me.” AFTER FALLING OUT OF RING, ELLIS DOES WELL CHATTANOOGA. TENN., June 5. Fred Ellis (Al Christensen), of Atlanta, and Rube Kreider, of Rome, Ga.. fought eight rounds to a draw here last night. The bout was one of the fiercest ever seen in thia city. In the fourth round Ellis was tripped by Kreider and fell over the ropes to the floor, a distance of four feet. He alighted on the back of his head, but immediately sprang to his feet, climbed to the platform and made a wild rush for his antagonist. From this time to the end the fight was furious. HARVARD’S STAR HURLER ' CHASED BY AUTHORITIES CAMBRIDGE. MASS, June s.—Be cause of difficulties with the college of ficials Sam Felton, the mainstay of Harvard’s pitching force, will be out of. the game for the rest of the season.’ With Felton and Reeves, the crimson catcher, both out. the latter being laid up with a sprained ankle, Harvard men are not hopeful of victory in the com ing series with Yale, ERSKINE MAYER IS HERO OF NO-HIT NO-RUN GAME Erskine Mayer, former Tech pitcher and the man whose farming out is get ting lo be an annual spring perform ance with Atlanta managers, put a no hit no-run game to his credit on last Thursday. The victim of his hurling excellence was Norfolk. Mayer has won 8 games, lost 1 and tied one with Portsmouth this season. HOPPE DEFEATS KLINE AND RETAINS HIS TITLE PHILADELPHIA. PA June Willie Hoppe last night successfully defended hi? title as IS .2 balk-line bil liard champion by defeating Harry Cline, of this city, by the score of 300 to 396 Packey can not punch. There is a sting and a snap to his wallops that sap an opponent's strength quickly. Bronson found this out to his cost, as he was sagging and weary before three rounds had been completed, and only his extreme grit and gameness and his desire to do something handsome before a great gathering of homefolks egged him into the fray in such desperate fashion. Bat Nelson was among those that sat at the ringside last Wednesday night and saw his old enemy, Mc- Farland, play tag with Bronson. He made little or no comment on Packey’s showing other than to ad mit that the Chicagoan "looked” like the real thing. Sitting alongside of Bat was John B. McKee, formerly of iCincinnatl and Louisville, where he ran box ing clubs. McKee is on his way to Winnipeg, where he is to be given charge of the new Coliseum club there, an organization that is to get the big building, wit"h a seating ca pacity of 6,000. McKee was on a hunt for some of the good fight ers to cross the border and exhibit for him, among those desired being Packey. Over in the Flynn camp at Mon tezuma Springs they are going ahead with persistent method try ing to evolve away to snatch the crown away from Johnson. Flynn is roughing it in the clinches and Johnson's Adam'§ apple is going to be one of the objective points of the title challenger. Flynn la being coached to bump hard with his head as he goes into the clinches. Wily Tommy Ryan's hand is seen in this. Johnson is nearly a head taller than Flynn and he's likely to get many a 'bump and jolt under the chin, provided Jim can get under or through the champion's guard. Ryan is trying to teach Flynn how to stop punches in some other way than taking them on the jaw Flynn a Modern Sharkey. “Take a few on your arms or shoulders,” is Ryan's constant or der. He realizes that he never can teach Flynn to sidestep or duck the lightning jolts of John Artha. But it isn’t going to be that kind of a fight. Some one is going to get slaughtered on Independence day, for Flynn is going to be coached to go straight into the formidable fists of the champion just as Tom Sharkey of old used to lam into Jeffries and Fitzsimmons. It never got Sailor Tom much be sides a terrific quilting, hut, any way, this whole fight is just a gam ble as to whether Johnson cap come back in case he ever "went.” If he’s the Johnson of old there’s something coming to Flynn, prob ably. But if the gas wagon and the limpid lights and the flash pots of Paris and London and the bubble water have deprived Johnson of his stamina to any great degree and if he can’t become acclimated and re duce his paunch without sapping his strength, then the big black bear has an elegant chance to get his trimmings. At least, that is the way Jack Curley and Tommy Ryan figure it.

WE BUY OLD GOLD "Would you box Packey up there?” McKee asked Bat. “Just as soon as my hands get better and he pays me that $57 that he owes me,” was Nelson's surprising reply. The $57 referred to evidently is part of that old trouble over the clipping bureau deal between the two fighters. "If my hands were, good I'd box McFarland any time, if he could ■make my weight,” Bat said. Later on, in response to the calls of the big crowd at *fle fight, he made a speech, in which hk’ outlined a plan for coming back, and told the people that he especially wanted another chance at Ad Wolgast. May Box Charley Lucca. Packey was approached regard ing the Manitoba club and said he would be willing to go there and battle anybody, provided the in ducements were nice. Charley Lucca, the Chicago fight er, who has proved a big hit up there, may be Packs;, 's opponent if a match is clinched. McKee approached a number of other fighters In Indianapolis and would especially like to get Jack Dillon to box somebody at his new club. THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today.

Jim Sullivan Says 50 of Our Athletes Can Win Olympics By Monty. THE American Olympic com mittee has sounded its warn ing, and any star athlete who stays out of the tryouts next Saturday at Chicago and Boston may come to grief. The commit tee counts on raising at least $20,- 000 from the proceeds of the two meets, which would be almost enough fb make up the deficit in the Olympic fund. If the crack men do not-appear in these games, less people will attend them, and accordingly the. receipts will be smaller. Consequently, if there are other men in sight figured good enough to win for America at Swe den, the stars who stay out of the trials will be kept off the team be cause of their unwlllingeness to help. Secretary James E. Sullivan of the American' committee has thus laid down the law. He said today: “There IS no question about the United States being able to win the games. No other country has a chance to. score more than half as many points as America, even though the membership of our team might have to he curtailed. Fifty of our men could beat the rest of the world combined. But just the same we are not going to put up any premiums for athletes unwilling to help, and believe that some of them will find this out to their sorrow.” Crack Men in Chicago Meet. Practically every star who was not seen in the Pacific coast try outs are expected to show more topnotchers in action, the Chicago games will present many world beaters.

At the Boston meet there will be still more champinns in competi tion. In the sprints Alvah Meyer, of the Irish-American Athletic club, will meet Jim Rosenberger, his teammate, and Richard Carey, the former Naval academy sprinter. It also is possible that Ralph Craig, of Michigan, and Gwynne Henry, of Texas, will run in the two short dashes.
