Showing Here That Jeff Is Also SOME Ring General
By “Bud” Fisher
r.
By Tick Tichenor.
W HILE I stated in last Sunday's
American that our golf does
not yet class with that of the
East and West, still there has been
a marked improvement in the work
of our players In the last five or six
years.
For example let us compare the
scores made in the first tournament
held over the East Lake course and
1 the tournament which ha* Just been
finished for the Henry W. Davis cup
over the same course.
The first tournament held by the
Atlanta Athletic Club was held Sep
tember 18, 1906, and an examination
of the cards returned in the qualify
ing round proves beyond the shadow
of a. doubt that the golf now being
placed has improved on an average
of' at least a stroke a hole.
It is true that when this first tour
nament was played, now nearly seven
years ago. the course was new
and therefore was not in very good
condition. But even making al
lowance for the defective condition
of the course there is too great a
difference between the scores then re
turned and those now being made to
be accounted for in any other way
than in the improvement in the men
swinging the clubs.
* * *
T N this first tournament there were
A thirty-two starters in the quali
fying round and F. G. Byrd was the
only one to turn in a score of less
than a hundred. In fact his ninety-
eight was eleven strokes better than
W. J. Tilson, who was the next man.
The scores ranged all the way from
Byrd’s ninety-eight to Joe-Colquitt's
two hundred and six which so far
as 1 know is a record.
F\ G. Byrd and the writer had the
only fives at the twelfth and Byrd's
four was the only one at the thir
teenth. Xot a man got a four at the
fourteenth but W. J. Tilson. B. W.
Trawick. B. J. Clay, Lowry Arnold.
W. K. Stone. C. P. King and W. H.
Glenn all had fives. Byrd and Tra
wick had the only fives at the fif
teenth and Marye and Langston had
the only sixes at the sixteenth. S. C.
Williams was alone in the glory of
having the only five at the seven
teenth. while Byrd scored the only
six at the eighteenth. This made
the best ball coming home forty-four
or one under fives. The only hole
which was played under par was the
fifth at which Lowry Arnold and O.
D. Street holld threes.
# * *■
OW in the tournament which was
* ' started on April 26 and finished
last week there were only fifty-five
players who returned cards but of
this number there were twenty-seven
who were as good or better than the
low score in that first tournament
seven years ago. ^
if other evidence is desired to es
tablish the general improvement in
the playing of our g dfers let us
compare the score returned in the
qualifying round of the first South
ern Championship played here in
Juno. 1907. and those made at Chat
tanooga last June.
In 1907 there were only two men
of the one hundred arid forty, who
teed vp Ip. the qualifying round of
the Southern Championship, who
were able v> break a ninety. Law
rence EusoS. of New Orleans, won
the low score medal with an eighty -
six and F. G. Byrd was second just
one strok^behind him. R. H. Brooke
and Nelson Whitney tied for third
place with an even ninety. All of
those who were as good as ninety-
seven qualified in the Championship
flight, which at that time was limit
ed to sixteen. Those whose scores
were between ninety-seven and one
hundred qualified in the second flight.
The first flight in this tournament
consisted of eight players and all of
those who made as good as one hun
dred and sixteen in the qualifying
round got in it. Playing true to
the form exhibited in the qualifying
round F. G. Byrd and W. J. Tilson
met In the final which Byrd von
eight up and six to play.
Those who made between one hun
dred and seventeen and one hundred
and twenty-three got in the second
flight, which also consisted of eight
players. This flight was won by J.
G Darling, who disposed of P. H.
Whiting in the final at the fifteenth
green.
Tlie third flight consisted of all
the other entries and was the only
flight of sixteen. In some unex
plainable manner yours truly, who
had qualified with a score of one
hundred and twenty-six, managed to
win from W. Carroll Latimer in the
final of this flight.
* * *
I F we go further in an examina
tion of the cards returned in the
qualifying round of this tournament
jy'ou will find that the best ball of
the entire thirty-two players was on
ly, eighty-one. In making this best
ba71 score P. Thornton Marye was
the only man who had as good as a
three at the first hole. W. P. Hill,
C. A. Langston and F G. Byrd had
fives on the second. Byrd had the
only three at the third and Marye
the only four at the fourth. Lowry
Arnold and O. D. Street had threes
at the fifth and H. clay Moore had
the only four at the sixth. The
seventh was easy, if we are to judge
from the number of players who ne
gotiated it in five. They were W.
J Tilson, C. A. Langston. B. J. Clay.
T B. Paine, J. G. Darling and A. T.
K. Brown. P. H. Whiting was the
only man to get a five at the eighth.
S. XV. Trawick, \V. J. Tilson and B
J. (May had the only fives at the
ninth. This made the best ball go-
'.ha uur iota! thirty-seven. Coming
home F. G. Byrd alor.c had a four

eleventh.

F *ROM one hundred to one hundred
and three qualified in the third
flight and from one hundred and
tiiree to one hundred and six made
the fourth flight. All of the flights
at that time were made up of six
teen players each.
Last year at Chattanooga the qual
ifying round was thirty-six holes
ijfcsiead of eighteen as in 1907 and
it took one hundred and seventy-five
for the two rounds or an average of
eighty-seven and h haif to get into

Expert Sees Little Hope For Cubs
By W. W. Naughton.
S AX FRANCISCO. May 10.—When
White Hope Luther McCartjr ar
ranged a series of pugilistic one-
night stands with his far-flung bat-
the line extending from Pittsburg to
Calgary, critics said that Luther evi
dently meant to take no chances of
losing the championship belt confer
red on him by Tom McCarev.
It is just possible that McCarty’s
motives were correctly construed, but
it looks as though Luther is likely to
protect his girdle at the expense of
his reputation. So far Luther's
cross-country matches—some one has
designated them safety matches—
have detracted from rathe, titan in
creased his prestige. His affair with
Jirii Flynn in Philadelphia was voted
j exceedingly tame, and his bout with
j Frank Moran in New York was
w orse.,
The troub'e with McCarty is that
-ince his defeat of A] Palzer he has
| had too much footlight work and not
enough boxing. li required a very
’ moderate amount of success to turn
his head, and it seems as though reali
fighting is the last thing in his;
thoughts at present. I
That Luther has become flghtv is
suggested by the episode of tlie bath
robe. It seems that instead of pro
ceeding to the arena to put on his
ring togs the night of the Moran go
he donned his ting togs at his hotel
in New York and went out through
a crowded lobby to his waiting taxi-
cao wrapped in a bathrobe.
He returned the same way, and the
hotel management promptly request
ed him to give up his apartments.
The one thing required to complete j
the asininity of the exhibition would
have been for Luther to have had his
champion belt buckled around the
bathrobe.
McCarty’s pranks are in distinct
contrast to the busine c s!ike methods
of that other cowboy’ hope. Jess Wil
lard. Jess is putting in big licks up
at Harbin Springs and will be in fine
fettle when the date of his match
with Gunboat Smith comes around.I
He has for sparring partners Soldier
Elder and teig Jim Cameron. Charlie
Miller is to join the camp soon, and
then Jess’ collection of mastodons
will be complete.
JOE RIVERS TURNS DOWN
OFFER TO MEET BRITTON
NEW YORK. May 10. —Rivers, the
Mexican lightweight, who gained re
nown by stopping Knockout Brown
and outpointing Leach Cross, doesn't
appear to be anxious to try conclu
sions with Britton in the Garden.
Rivers so far has refused to box
Britton at 133 • Ingside and 27 1-2
per cent, of the gate terms named
bv Dan Morgan, manager of Brit
ton. Rivers is willing to tackle
Welsh or Murphy at 133 ringside but
neither Freddie nor Tommy will con
cede this point.
JOE MANDOT TO BECOME
MERCHANT IN HOME CITY
NEW ORLEANS. May 10.—Joa
Mandot is one boxer who has saved
his ring earnings and will probably
never need a benefit. The French
Market crack has never been a roun
der or a spender. But Joe realizes
that the ring life of a boxer is lim
ited at the best, and that the wise
men are those who save their money.
He has been a regular depositor a*
a bank near the French Market, but
will soon withdraw’ a good portion
of hie savings and enter the men's
furnishing business.

T HE team match in 1907 was de

name the members of the team be

1907 the lowest scores returned by

N EW YORK, May 10.—-In the es
timation of New York fandom
this big town is reasonably
certain of a share of the next world's
championship games. No one w.io
has seen the Giants perform around
these parts is ready to concede any
other rival more than an outside
chance against the two-time cham
pions of the National League. It may
be sectional prejudice, for und*»
Johnny Evers the Cubs have gotten
away to an advantageous start fo* -
a club that was heretofore a slow
breaker, but strange to say the Chi
cago team does not carry the same
fear as in former days.
The answer is the absence of the
Peerless Leader
The Cubs have always been full
of surprises for New York and may
be again this season. More will be
known of this after the Keystone
King's men have had a chance to sift
through the Eastern wing of Tom
Lynch’s domain. If the Windy City
array is able to win against Phila
delphia and Brooklvn with the wme
marked regularity that they have be»n
cleaning up our Western neighbors,
then it will be high time for John Mc-
Graw to shovel on more coal. From
this long distance angle it strikes one
that Chicago's fine showing lias been
the result of poor opposition rather
than individual club brilliancy. In
support of which a few arguments
will hereby be presented.
Pittsburg Team Crippled.
In the West Chicago has encounter
ed practically no opposition. Cincin
nati and St. Louis have shown a
straw’ defense. Pittsburg, generally
accredited pennant prospects at the
start was wrecked and broken when
the mighty Hans Wagner and the
reliable George Gibson went down in
a heap. It is an easy matter for even
a fair team to beat out crippled >r
sadly disorganized rival aggregations.
Now the Giants on the other hand
have battled neighbors that shape
up far stronger than for the past
several seasons.
Philadelphia and Brooklyn both ap
pear belter balanced than in years
and from what they have shown
must be reckoned for first division
berths. Philadelphia and Brooklyn
have both displayed real pitching:
pitching of far greater class than
Chicago has yet encountered. Chi
cago’s pitchers have been winning
right along- with five and six run■<
scored against them. This speaks for
the hitting powers of Evers’ line but
in the same breath insinuates box
weakness on the part of the rivals.
In New York’s games the scores have
been much more limited, proving bet
ter pitching and all around baseball
qualities.
Must Face Eastern Pitchers. •
If against Eastern battery strength
the Cubs are able to rip off seven
or eight runs a day then indeed the
Chicago Cubs shall be hailed with
due acclaim. They will indeed bp a
great shadow to the pennant pros
pects of the Giants. But I do not
think the team exists that consist*
ently teas* loose even an average of
four runs against such box men ns
Seaton. Alexander Mathewson, Tes
reau, Marquard, Rucker. Allen an-J
such sharpshooters. Certainly New
York, Philadelphia and Brooklyn may
expect to score as frequently against
the Cubs as have St. Louis, Pitts
burg and Cincinnati. In which case,
limiting the score as the good Eastern
pitching should, the Windy City trio-*
is most liable to find tough sledding
on its first long travel. All of which
puts it fairly and squarely up to the
approaching Eastern invasion by the
West. We will have to await devel-
enments to get a proper line.
Giants Look Stronger.
New York has reason to prein
herself over the possibilities of a third
sf.’ght pennant. To date the club
has looked fully 15 per cent stronger
than last season when the pennant
was won In the first there months.
That McGraw does not enjoy the run
away lead he did a year ago is due to
the improvement of Philadelphia and
Brooklyn, a happy circumstance that
should help his cause greatly when
Pittsburg and Chicago heave into
view. Every department of the cham
pion machine has been improved ove
1912. George Burns, in left field,
has rounded out a garden combina
tion that will compare favorably with
any rival. By the elimination of Dt -
vore. McGraw has suffered no loss
in speed and has gained greatly 1n
hitting power and defensive strength.
By the same token, the infield has
been bolstered up by Shafer. He '»
belter than Fietcher in every depart
ment. Still McGraw\« greatest
embraced in a new battery strength -
a depart rr en t which for years has
been a constant source of worry to
him.
Matty in Great Form.
Cbristv Mathew son. the great an
chor man of his.nu mg corps for the
past decade, has shown all his oil
time form and should have one if
the greatest campaigns of his bril
liant career. Marquard was late in re
porting. but is almost ready to cut : n
with all his accustomed ability. Wil
bert Robinson says he is all right and
none should know better. Tesreau
has always been a hot weather pitch
ed. He is better now than any time
before this early in the race. Leon
Ames, with a brand new spitball,
has chased his “jinx" and stepped
into his proper sphere at last. George
Wiltse seems to "have returned to his
form of 1908. In A1 Demaree little
Mac has cofrailed one of the season's
find?, to all appearances. He has
several other very fine looking Coit
tossers who should provide against
any possibility of overwork *to tb *
veterans. As it stand? to-day Mc
Graw’ has undoubtedly the most ef
fective pitching staff in his company
if not in organized base bull.
He need not hang his head vyh n
his catching corps is compared with
any other. Chicago boasts a great
pair of backstops in Archer and Bfes-
nahan. But for all around effective
ness Meyers and Wilson will pretty
nearly hold their own. The "Big
Chief” lias always been a rattling
good catcher, subserious to injury
and a fellow who will stick pretty
close to .330. Hitters of this type
are mighty scarce nowadays when
batting covers a multitude* of sins.
Wilson is a very muc h improv ■*.
catcher and also a very dangerous
hitter. Hartley the third man on the
list, in the estimation of John J. Mi
Graw is just about the sweetest pros
pect he has ever seen.
Giants Have Youth and Speed.
Those greatest of all natural ad
vantages—youth and speed —belong
to McGraw by a very wide margin.
He. too, possesses a listlof candidates
of such well balanced ability that it
is practically impossible to cripple
him. His substitutes are just one
little shade less formidable than tk
regular men. Now both Chicago and
Pittsbui'g. while possessing in num
bers are /ar below in class. Nor are
the regulars possessed of that vig**v
of youth that is capable of standing
all the strains of a strenuous cam
paign. Take the Cubs. now. Clym r.
Mitchell, Bridvvell and Evers hav ■
several times stood upon the brink
of major league oblivion ihe ’*a»t fe»v
years. Clymer. a veritable “oht man. ’
was rescued from the minors when
everyone thought him through as i
major star years ago.
The great uncertainty of pinni.o;
faith to waning sure is best illus
trated in the case of Pittsburg. Th
loss of one such man as Hans Wagner
seems irr°parable. The great “Fly
ing Dutchman’s” playing days hav"
run their course. In his unfortunate
fall he carried down with him th
pennant nrospects of the Pirates. Be
fore Wagner and Gibson were laid on
the shelf—let us hope it will be but
temporarily in both cases—the Giants
seriously regarded Pittsburg's opposi
tion. Chicago has never received the
same sort of respect. Pittsburg his
a wonderful pitching staff; Chicago
corps is lightly regarded. There lies
the answer.
Cubs May Be Surprise.
Chicago may be the big surprise -f
the season. Wo will all know better
in a couple of weeks. But in the
meantime we may look tor better
things in Brooklyn as some consola
tion should the Cubs slip one over
Mr. Dahlen at last appears to have
rounded out a real first division pos
sibility. There should be no sm ;!i
grain of comfort in that.

By \Y. \Y. Xaughton.
S AN FRANCISCO, May 10.—The
results of world’s championship
fights from time to time have
served to show that "expert opinion’
is not always to be depended upon.
For that matter there have been few
Blue Ribbon affairs in which the
wisdom ofi the so-called good judges
has not received a rebuke.
In the. latest championship event,
the Kilbane-Dundee bout, there were
times when the fellows who tluumtu
they knew were on the anxious seat.
They feared that another Terry Mc
Govern-Young Corbett catastrophe
was in store. There were trying
moment? indeed for the educated
sports who htqi bet 10 to 4 right up
to the ringing of the starting bell
and who were loud in their lamenta
tions'’ over the scarcity of short end
spurts.
The outcome of the fight will mean
a .boost for young man Dundee and
H corresponding setback for Cham
pion Kilbane. The latter started out
loaded with confidence to the Plim-
so!l mark—carrying a <TPrk load of
fat—but the experiences of the firs:
few rounds played havoc with his
self-reliance.
Dundee Missed Great Chance.
There are many who state that
Dundee missed the chance of' his life
in the Los Angeles fight. Kilbane.
despite his talk <>f excellent condi
tion and his announcement that the
Dundee go was largely in the nature
of a trial poise as he intended to in
vade the lightweight ranks, put up
one of the sorriest showings of his
career. He was palpably tired in
several lounds while Dundee seemed
chuck full of strength and ginger.
Had Dundee waded in more deter
minedly instead of trying to impress
upon the crowd that he was equally
as clever as Kilbane, New 7 ork
might be boasting a world’s cham
pion at the present time.
To the writer Dundee appears in
the light of a youngster who pos
sesses fine natural fighting qualifica
tions and does not know how to use
them. He seems imbued with an in
ordinate desire to feint without hav
ing any objeet in view. He keeps
ducking when there is nothing to
duck from and he is slow to follow
up an advantage.
He showed conclusively that he
had good punching force. Sorpe of
the stiffest smashes during the bout
were the body rights with which
Dundee countered Kilbane’s glancing
right handers. Instead of piling in
after landing heavily in the manner
described, Dundee straightened up
and feinted and fiddled because Kil-
ba»e feinted and fiddled, and you can
depend upon it that the New Yorker’s
tactics suited the fast tiring Kilbane
to a nicety.
Dundee’s Blows Lack Force.
Another fault In Dundee’s methods
is the frequency with which he leaps
in the air when trying to score with
the left. This trick enables him to
reach his opponent’s face but when
he does connect there is no force to
the delivery.
Now, however, that the Easterner
has earned the right to travel in se
lect company, he may try to correct
some of his shortcomings. If the
does not make the attempt he will
not be able to show the b£st that is
in him.
Kilbane Was Surprised.
Kilbane. evidently, thought that all
he had to do was to feint Dundee
into leaving an opening and then
whip the right across to the point
of the chin. But whatever his short
comings in other departments of the
boxing game. Dundee has quick eyes
for menacing rights. Not once but
scores of times he converted Kilbane’s!
best meant <fforts Into misses. I
have n<* doubt that tlie frequency
with which Kilbane’s glove bumped;
into nothing but thin air had a dis
couraging effect upon the Champion
Old fighters used to si

C HICAGO, ILL.. May 10. There
has been a great deal of dis
cussion of late in the British
golf magazines arid newspapers con-
erning what is called the “master
eye in golf.” This phrase seems to
indicate that each player has one eye
which serves better than the other
in the all-important act of keeping
the eye on the ball. British periodi
cals therefore discourse at length
upon the subject and advise a study
of ones best optic. An unintentional
experiment was made in England a
short time ago during a team match
by a member of the Cambridge I’ni-
versity team. (me eye of the gentle
man had been undergoing medli al
treatment and at the time of the
competition was bandaged closely. In
spite of this handicap he halved the
match writh his opponent and played
splendid golf at times, on occasion,
however, he found difficulty in judg
ing distances.
• • •
B EING interested in the subject I
made a few experiments myself
to determine which was my master
eye. and 1 have concluded that it is
my left. Perhaps I cock my head
back a little on the back swing and
on tlie down swing to the actual
hitting; at any rate. 1 seemed in my
experiment to make a greater use of
my left eye. I think Vaile's weight
testing machine could be used profit
ably in this discussion, because if a
player sways backward the line from
his loft eye to the ball is shorter and
less oblique, in any inclination there
is a tendency to shorten the line from
the left eye to the ball. Of course, 1
am arguing from the standpoint of
a right-handed golfer. 1 should think
the right eye would be more impor
tant to the left-handed player.
In the execution of tlie longer shots
the ball is played so far away from
the body that one can iuit get both
eves immediately over the ball and
allow the club to lie naturally, which,
by the way. is'one of the most im
portant things to be borne in mind.
In cases where there is a marked dis
crepancy in the strength of the eyes
the stronger must be necessarily most
fav’ored.
* * •
AXE of my great little rules has
always been to keep my eyes in
J such a position that lines of equal
length drawn from each eye will meet
at a certain point on the ball. In this
case, of course, no eye can be called
the master eye. In putting, the hard
est shot of the game. I try to keep my
eves directly over the ball. The
stroke is so short that it would be
hard for me to tell which eye is the
better one. Maybe I could do bet
ter with only one eye; that seems to
lie the only thing I have not tried
in my fruitless efforts to learn how
to putt.
Those players who wear glasses
must have special difficulties to over
come when playing golf, and if would
be enlightening to know what these
are and how •they are surmounted;
for tiie whole subject of the applica
tion of sight to golf playing is an in
teresting one.
S AN FRANCISCO. CAL., May 10.—
Jews Willard and Smith are down
to hard training for their 20-
round engagement here May 16. The
two big heavyweights started work
last Wednesday and have been in
creasing their labor dally.
Tom Jones has secured three big
heavyweights to box with his “hope.’*
Jack Vusinich and Al Williams stood
before the big fellow- yesterday for
two rounds each and Jim Cameron,
the Los Angeles negro, kept Willard
busy for three rounds of three min
utes each.
Willard will do a lot of road work
Monday and Tuesday, but will do
only boxing the rest of the time be
fore entering the ring. Jess is mak
ing a big hit out here and many fans
are picking him to beat Smith and
then get on with Luther McCarty.
Jones' protege has already beaten
McCarty in one ten-round affair and
says he can duplicate the perform
ance.
Over at Shannon's camp in San
Rafael. Gunboat Smith is losing no
time in getting into the best of
shape Like Willard, Smith started
work last Wednesday and is feeling
better than ever before in his life.
