HEARST’S SUNDAY AMKRIUAN BASEBALL AND OTHER SPORTS d'NT> \Y. MAY 11. 101 n. 11 D • 1 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 , * ’A' tenth \Y. J. Tilson. P. ML Marye. S. \V. Trawick and Fulton Colville tied with fives at the 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 11. v- first thirty-two as against a hundred for the same nunibt-i in 1907 and n also took ak go'*] as nine ty-one to get intofthe first sixty- X’O Uke To IFttAD ^ AHOTMCR. school Bq-r to slsiw (N JAW Tot>AY.

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.

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. four which is equivalent to the four flights as arranged in 1907. * * * T HE team match in 1907 was de cided by the four lowest scores returned by the players of any one elub and it was not necessary to name the members of the team be fore starting as it is now. Yet in 1907 the lowest scores returned by the four players pf any one club was three hundred and fifty-eight, while last year, with a team named before they started the Country Club of New Orleans* cut off forty-three strokes from the abow number or an average of nearly eieverf stroke 6 per man.

By W. ,J. Mi-Beth. 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.

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 which follows when on plows atmosphere is al being made the and such being likely that Kilbi the Dundee Jaw causi pion to tin* earlier tl have done had lie mad 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.
