It Hurts Jeff’s Head to Concentrate His Mind

By “Bud” Fisher
M ontgomery, ala., May si.—
With the approach of the
Southern Golf Tournament,
which -will be conducted thla year over
the links of the Montgomery Country
Club, much Interest 1s centered
around the cups and trophies which
will be awarded the winners of the
various flights. Altogether, about
twenty-five cups, trophies and med
als will be given the successful con
testants, Some of these cups are
exceptionally handsome, particularly
the championship cup, which Is usual
ly the most valuable golf trophy
awarded at any tournament in the
South.
This cup will be given the player
who defeats all opponents In the first
flight. The play In this flight will
begin on Wednesday, June 4, and
will continue through Saturday. The
winner of this trophy will meet some
of the finest players In the South,
some of whom will probably be for
mer holders of the Southern cham
pionship. The championship cup,
therefore, will be of sufficient value
to dignify the holder of the title,
as well as of sufficient beauty to
make the best players strive to at
tain the prize.
Alabama Cup for Second.
The second cup—that which will
be awarded the champion in the sec
ond flight—Is styled the Alabama
Cup, by reason of the fact that the
tournament will be held In Alabama.
This trophy, therefore, will commem
orate the State In which it was won.
In value. It will be next to the cham
pionship cup.
The prize for the winner in the
v third flight Is called the Montgomery
Cup. This cup Is so called because
it will commemorate the city in which
it was won. Just as the Alabama Cup
will typify the State in which the
tournament was held.
The Dexter Cup, to be awarded the
winner of the fourth flight, was |
named In honor of Andrew Dexter, |
one of the principal founders of
Montgomery, who emigrated from
Massachusetts in 1817. The Dexter
Cup will also commemorate the name
of Montgomery’s principal business
street.
Interest in LaFayette Cup.
Much Interest Is attached to the
LaFayette Cup, to be awarded the
winner of the fifth flight. This trophy
was named In honor of the Marquis
de LaFayette, who visited Montgom
ery In April, 1825, on his final tour
of the United States. LaFayette was
met by a prominent delegation and
was publicly received by Governor
Israel Pickens, on Capitol Hill.
J This cup was also named In com-
'■pliment to Ernest A. deFuniak, the
president of the Montgomery Country
Club, and the descendant of an aris
tocratic French family.
The Yancey Cup, the prize in the
sixth flight, was named In honor of
William Lowndes Yancey, one of the
greatest leaders of the South in his
time, and probably one of the most
brilliant orators the South ever pro
duced.
In addition to these prizes, a trophy
will be awarded the runner up In
every flight, as well as trophies to the
winners in all the consolation flights.
A handsome gold medal will be
awarded the player who makes the
lowest qualifying score, and a sliver
medal to the one making the second
lowest qualifying score.
300 Golfers Are Expected.
Indications are that in the neigh
borhood of 300 golfers will visit Mont
gomery to participate In the South
ern tournament. Great players from
all parts of the South will take part
in the match, and It is expected that
the event will prove the most success
ful of its kind ever held in this part
of the country.
The course over which the tourna
ment will be conducted Is now In
psime condition, the putting greens
being probably as fine as any In the
world. The painstaking and Inde
fatigable efforts of John M. Inglis,
the local gOlf expert, has been pro
ductive of the most wonderful re
sults, and visitors who have played
over the local course during the past
few weeks have declared it to be by
far the best course in the South.
Will Qualify on Tuesday.
The qualifying round will be played
on Tuesday, and from the scores re
turned by the numerous players the
flights will be made up. The cham
pionship division will first contain
64 players, and from this division will
be formed the championship, the sec
ond, third and fourth flights, of 16
players each. Every round will con
sist of 18 holes, match play, except the
semi-finals In the championship, sec
ond, third and fourth flights, and
the finals In all flights, which will
^consist of 36 holes.

Griffith Sure to Grab Tom Lons
© o O © O O 0
Crackers' Outfielder "Going Up
By W. S. Farnsworth.
I T begins to look more and more
every day as though one Clark
Griffith up In Washington Is going
to fit one Thomas Long into his out
field combination next season.
Said Thomas Is wearing Cracker
spangles Just at present, but It is a
known fact that Griffith has a large
string attached to him and that this
fall said string will be given a mighty
Jerk, thereby hoisting Thomas over
our rooftops into the Capital.
And If Thomas doesn’t make good
with screaming success we will hang
the old dope book In the closet and
never get It out again.
Right now Long looks like big
league material. He Is a natural hit
ter, a fast man on the bases and a
fielder who can cover an unlimited
amount of territory.
There seems to be Just one little
fault with this young gent. He picks
up ground balls rapidly and accu
rately, and when forced to heave to
the plate hurls as true as a bullet.
But he 1s slow getting the ball away.
BUI Smith knows this. He worked
on Long for fully twenty minutes be
fore yestereve’s game got under
way. He kept batting deep roll
ers to Thomas and the latter kept
pegging ’em home to Joe Dunn. But
every time that Tommy picked up the
ball he would run In fully four steps
before turning It loose. He must
learn to throw without ball room
tactics.
This would never do In the big
leagues. And BUI Smith is going to
break Tommy of this fault If possi
ble.
And I believe he •will, too. A good
teacher and a good pupil never fall
to make a success of anything they
start.
Take It from me that next fall and
next summer, too, that when you care
to write Tommy Long a letter, ad
dress it care of the Washington base
ball club.
...
P OOR old Whltey Alperman! He
can’t play ball any more. Well,
if Charley Ebbets or John Ganzel
could have seen him swat that old
pill In the sixth Inning of the game
with the BUllkens yesterday they
would have probably kicked them
selves In the slats for ever dropping
him from their rosters.
Whltey came to bat twice In that
sixth spasm. First time up he slam
med the Spalding to right for a pair
of sacks and would have gone on for
the circuit had not the ball hit the
score board and bounded back Into
the fielder's "hand. Then he came up
a few minutes later and pickled the
same ball to center for a complete
Journey around the lines.
• • •
T T was about the first time tills sea-
1 son that the Crackers walloped the
ball hard and timely and In turn
were given aid by a hurler. The
score, 13 to 2, tells the tale.
Young Mr. Dent was the stingy kld-
do for fair. Six hits were all that he
would allow Johnny Dobbs’ sludgers,
leading cloutsmlths at present in J.
Kavanaugh's organization. Three of
these clouts came In the fourth ses
sion and netted the visitors their on
ly tallies. One hit was made off his
delivery In the second, one in the
fourth and the final one In the fifth.
Barring a base on balls in the
seventh, no BiUiken put his No. 9’s
on Joe AgleYs sack after the fifth
inning.
• • •
D ENT had a ton of stuff yesterday.
His curve ball broke Immensely
while his fast one had a regular a la
Johnson hop. He showed perfect
judgment In outguessing the opposi
tion, and when there were men on
the bases he displayed the fact that
he can whip ’em across with little or
no windup.
But Dent is a hurier who needs
plenty of work. He Improved as the
game rode on and at the finish look
ed as though the first eight innings
had simply been a “prep” for him.
Said Dent’s display found Bill
Smith wearing a smile from ear to
ear this morning. And it is quite
a distance from one of Bill’s listen
ers to the other.
RINGSIDE NOTES
AURORA, ILL., May 81.—Charlie
White, of Chicago, made good on his
promise to finish George Meyers by the
knockout route in their fight here last
ftight. There were two other good mills,
one of them ending with the sleep punch.
The show drew 800, mostly Chicagoans.
White put George Meyers away In the
eecond round of their fight before the
session was a minute old. The knock
out punch was a right to the stomach
whicn Meyers’ seconds claimed was low
and the referee refused to listen to the
protest. Meyers was floored three times
n the first round, taking the count of
nine each time.
£
DONALDSON OUT OF GAME.
ANNISTON. ALA., May 31.—Earl
Donaldson, the Rome, Ga., lad who
has been starring for Anniston at
short and leading off at the bat, will
be out of the game for several days
on account of a cut received while
practicing Wednesday afternoon. His
place at short will be taken by Ste
phenson, the Prep pitcher, who has
'been re-signed by Hannon. Hannon
will act as field captain during Don
aldson’s absence.
Eddie McGoorty received $3,066 for
his six-round bout with Frank Klaus
at Pittsburg last Saturday night. Ac
cording to Rudy Unholz, who looks after
the Interest of McGoorty, the house
amounted to a little over $10,000.

Spider Britt is anxiously awaiting
the return of Meyer Pries, who is at
present in Chattanooga. The two ban
tamweights are to clash in one of the
. ten-round bouts at the Auditorium-
! Armory June 13, and Britt wants to
i make the match a “wlnner-take-all”
affair.
• • •
Several days ago Pries made the
statement that he was positive he could
beat Britt and would rather have the
winner take all the dough. Britt says
these terms are more than satisfactory
to him.

George Tully, the Kenosha, Wls.,
boxing promoter, is planning on Charlie
White and Matty McCue for his June
show. Nate Lewis, manager of White,
has agreed to let Charlie meet McCue.

Eddie Clabby, brother of Jimmy Clab-
by, will meet Young Denny in a 10-
round set-to at Denver, Colo., Monday
night. Both boys are welterweights.

Billy Nolan is getting generous. He
has consented to let his champion, Wil
lie Ritchie, box Joe Rivers for the
world’s title next July. Willie will find
the Mexican a tough nut to crack.

Although Jim Savage has not been
heard of lately, the big heavyweight
has not been idle. Danny Morgan, his
manager, has had Savage working dally
in New York picking up the finer points
of the game.
* • *
Morgan is confident his protege will
beat Jim Flynn here on June 13. Sav
age and Morgan boih saw Flynn put
up his great battle against Coffey, but
think that Savage is just the style of
boxer to take Flynn's measure.

NO GOOD TILL
THLIGETF1LL
1 < the fight gam© a man who Is
knocked out is “gone.” In base
ball a player who Is “beaned” with
a good swift one Is usually “plate
shy” for the rest of his career. They
never come back.
An odd thing about the motorcycle
racing game on board tracks—the sort
that will be on tap at the Motor-
dome next Friday night—is that a
rider Is never much good until he has
been knocked cold once and has come
to life again.
The riders call It “getting your sec
ond courage,” and they say that un
til a man gets It he Is not likely to
become a top-notcher.
“What they have to do,” said one
of the riders in speaking of It yes
terday, “is to get a spill and find out
It does not kill them. They learn
that It usually means picking tip a
few splinters and maybe smashing an
arm or leg. After they find this out
it is all right. If they get killed In
learning, why, that’s their risk.”
Riders who haven’t got their “sec
ond courage” are divided into those
who are still 'a bit afraid and those
who aren’t sufficiently afraid.
An example of the latter class Is
Henry Lewis, the circus-rider-vaude
ville-star-motorcycle-cop, who will
figure In Friday’s races. Never on
a board track has Lewis had a tum
ble. As he is absolutely without fear,
has only his "first courage,” and it
is a grand article. The only trouble
is that he is too courageous for com
fort. He rides up and down the track
as a fly runs up a sheer wall, he hits
the inclines at 90 miles an hour, and
when he gets in a race he is liable
to perform some feats that will spijl
the bunch. The riders say he needs
a spill to acquire his “second
courage,” which means In hla case a
little caution.
Every other regular rider at the
track has had his spills and carries
the scars to show for it. All have
acquired their “second courage” and
are brave to a degree, without being
foolhardy.
Before long new riders will be
breaking in. The game Is peculiarly
fascinating to the speed bugs, and the
city which developed so many great
bicycle riders is not likely to over
look the chance of sending some mo
torcyclists out In a chase for high
speed and fame. Already Manager
Hudson has had a lot of applications
from local riders who want to try the
track, and a novice race is a possi
bility in the near future. When the
novices begin to break In there are
sure to be many who lack their sec
ond courage. They will be game
enough to try anything once, but al
ways lurking in the back of their
heads will be the fear of a spill and
Its outcome. Each of these men will
need one spill. This will either retire
them from the game or give them
their “second courage.” When they
get It they are ready for anything.

S AN FRANCISCO, May 81.—While
Willie Ritchie’s triumphal tour of
the footlight belt was not entire
ly free from annoyance, he must ad
mit that he was not pestered with
challenges from his brother light
weights. The critics took a fling at
him occasionally, but the boys of his
class kept unusually distant.
Whether this was In defense to the
argument that a victor Is entitled to
all the spoils he can harvest, or was
the result of the tact exercised by
Manager Billy Nolan may never be
known. In the little fight talk that
was Indulged In while Ritchie was
working the theatrical circuit Nolan
contrived to mention every promi
nent lightweight as a possible oppo
nent, for Ritchie when ring activities
were to be resumed.
• • •
IT In Just possible that this Judl-
1 clous application of aalve made
each of the 188-pounders feel that
his chances of getting the next crack
at the championship would be Im
proved If he refrained from baiting
the title holder.
Now that Joe Rivers has been nam
ed as Ritchie’s next opponent it is
different. Back In New York Leach
Cross is claiming that Ritchie prom
ised him the first bout and Is hinting
that It Is fear of the Cross punch that
has made Willie go back on his word.
Up In Portland Bud Anderson Is get
ting ready to challenge Ritchie night
ly from the stage of the theater at
which Anderson Is showing. Bud,
through his manager, Dick Donald,
says he has $5,000 to support his
deft, and that If Ritchie considers this
too paltry a sum for a side bet Ritchie
will be accommodated with a wager
of double that amount.
• * •
T HIS may have an Irritating effect
on Ritchie, who is appearing at
another Portland theater, but the
worst is yet to come. Battling Nel
son is due in Portland within a day
or two, and the Battler has for
months been longing to get close
enough to Ritchie to dare him to
fight. Nelson says he may have
doubts occasionally as to how he
would fare with some of the vigorous
young lightweights who have sprung
up in recent times, but that all he
needs to prove himself a better boxer
than Ritchie is the opportunity.
From which It would appear that
Ritchie will scarcely be able to com
plain that he spent a dull week in
Portland.
TINKER AND HERRMANN
OPEN WAR ON MURPHY
CINCINNATI, May 31.—Garry
Herrmann, president of the Cincin
nati baseball club, and Manager Joe
Tinker yesterday opened fire on
Charles W. Murphy, boss of the Cubs,
and let go double barrels. The at
tack was based on Murphy’s attempt
to get some of the Reds in exchange
for men he calls Cub youngsters and.
which the Cincinnati crowd declare
are practically old-tlmerg. In an in
terview here Joe Tinker said:
"I suppose,” remarked Tinker, “that
Murphy includes In the list of hls>
youngsters he would trade, A1 Brid-
well, Tommy Leach, Otis Clymer and
Roger Bresnahan. Murphy came to
Mr. Herrmann a short time ago and
tried to get one of />ur best pitchers
and $5,000 for Good, an outfielder, who
is warming the Cub bench. We want
good men In trading We. of course,
laughed at the proposition. I still
think we will beat out the Cubs.
“Murphy has crippled his ball club
and he cannot make It play ball by
issuing claims or knocking President
Herrmann and his former players.”
President Herrmann agreed with
every word of the statement of Man
ager Tinker.
