New Orleans Wins Team Prize;
R. G. 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
the team prizes, the only trophies
decided on that day’s play., and put
so. 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;
S. 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 hla
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.

Adair showed the best form. These,
from present appearance, will
prove the most formidable entrants
of the Cracker capital. Byrd, in
the first flight yesterday, was bad
ly off form 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

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.

90. The scores of the other con

Amazing Form Exhibited by the Stockyards Star in Bronson Battle
M’FARLAND SURELY THE LAST WORD IN RlNfi SKILL
By Ed W. Smith.
CHICAGO, June s.—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 lotfks 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 hartdA; 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 Hoosier 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 much. He looked
awful tired.
"That's the altitude. It affects
lots Os 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 man 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 his workout had not been im
pressive.
"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 this 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 hack
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

CAMBRIDGE. MASS. June s.—Be

ficials Sam Felton, the mainstay of
Harvard’s pitching force, will be out of
the game for the rest of the season.

catcher, both out. the latter being laid
up with a spiained 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 to 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 t and

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 Cincinnati
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, with 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’s apple is going to
be one of the objective points of the
title challenger. Flynn is 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, but, any
way, this whole fight is just a gam
ble as to whether Johnson can 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 hl-ack
bear has an elegant chance to get
his trimmings.
At least, that is the way Jack
Curley and Tommy Ryan figure it.

“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.
/’lf 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 the fight, he made a
speech, in which he 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 Packey’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.

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 to 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 unwillingeness to
help.
Secretary James E. Sullivan of
the American committee has thus
laid down the law. He said today:
“Ther® Is no question about the
United States being able to win the
games. No 1 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 be 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 we 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. Among them are Frank
