I T IS na1d that the chief obstacle to Jerome Travers' playing in the British championship has been his use of the center-shafted putter, and that he Is seriously considering the adoption of a standard club. This re mark raises a difficulty that we have all been obliged to consider. For years I have been known as one of the poor est of putters, and nobody has realised the fact more strongly than I. Time after time I have seen opportunity allp away from me on the putting green, that fatal spot where the game la truly won or lost with few’ excep tion, one of fhese very recent. I have been beaten in important matches by the man with the Schenectady putter, and In many of these cases I had beaten my opponent up to the put ting green. Two years ago I came to the con clusion that the center-shafted put ter Is vastly easier than the accepted club. Naturally since that time I have been sorely tempted to try anything that promised to make me a better putter, but I have stoutly refrained from the use of the center-shafted putter, however, because I feel that the British standard of golf at pres ent is the highest in the world, and If we'hope to improve our game we can not afford to disregard the admoni tions of St. Andrew's. We are all anxious to measure our cklll against our British brethren, for only In that way can we know how far we have traveled, and this meas urement of skill cannot mean any thing unless there is a certain con formity in clubs and rules. Golf was an ancient game before the advent of the center-shafted putter, yet Its simplicity of construction makes it probable that it was known and con sidered before its American adoption. The Royal and Ancient Golf Asso ciation. however, will have none of it, and until St. Andrew’s accepts it, no golfer who has the faintest nmbttion to^ompete on British courses cares to depend upon the use of the Schenectady. I have no personal feeling about the center-shafted putter other than this: At the present 1 accept St. Andrew’s definition of a golf club, and there fore can not afford to spend the time practicing with a club not recognized in British tourneys We have etill much to learn from Great Britain.

Callaway, president of the Allan a Baseball Association, got a letter this morning from Pre*» ident W. M. Kavanaugh, in which he announced his ruling, that the game should be played off in the coming series. The dispute arose over a game that the Nashville management requested might be moved from Monday to Sunday, just after Sunday ball begun in that town. The Crackers agreed and the game was played. Then Nashville insisted on laying off Mon day, while the Crackers appeared and claimed the game by forfeit. The clubs played Tuesday and the Crackers de- j parted Wednesday, the Vole claiming a forfeit that day. CALLAWAY TO CHATTANOOGA TO SEE JERSEY CITY MAN .\jajor Frank E. Callaway, presi dent.of.the Atlanta Baseball Associa tion, is going to Chattanooga to-night to meet the president of the Jersey City Club. “1 really don’t know’ w’hat he s after,” Major Callaway said this morning. “He w ired that he w'oul 1 like very much to see me If I could meet him at Chattanooga.” Major Callaway did not suggest anything that might have attracted the Jersey City magnate’s attention. But two things sort of suggest them selves—Joe Agler and Slim Love. Ag. ler was much desired bv Jersey City when the Cubs sold blm to Atlanta And the reports of Love’s debut un doubtedly have got about the country by this time. It Is quite possible the Jersey City president may want to ar range a little deal in ball players. WOULD TRADE ENTIRE CARDINAL BALL CLUB ST. LOUIS. Aug 4.—President Schuy ler P Britton, of the Uaxdinals. is on the warpath and 1 n an endeavor to strengthen that club to-day declared he would trade every member of the club, except Manager Miller Huggins. That means t*at Ed Koney Harry Kallee, Bob Harmon, even Substitute Charley O’Leary and recruits, will be swapped if there is a chance to strength- en the club. Whether any trade will be made is not known, but President Britton announced that negotiations have been opened with the Giants, Reds and other clubs The tumble into eighth place for the Am time In years is too much for President Britton and Mana ger Huggins White and Whitney Fear No One *!••+ +•+ •!•»+ -{••+ +•+ Neither Boy Has Been Stopped ENTRIES By Left Hook. W iKN Charlie White, tht. Chi- cago sensation, steps into the ring with Frankie Whit ney on August 13, local fans will have the opportunity of seeing two boys in action who have never been stopped. This record is all the more marvelous when it is taken into con sideration that both have been fight ing the best scrappers in the game and have never dodged a tough one. Charlie White started his active ring career January 3, 1908. On that date the Chicago whirlwind met and knocked out Frank Decker in two rounds at Chicago. White was otily 17 years old then, as he has been fighting five years. In 1908 White took part In eleven ring battles, win ning seven over the knockout route and three by decision. Among those who suffered defeat at his hands were Danny Goodman, Billy O’Keefe, Kid Duffy and Benny Troubles. • • • 'P HE Chicago boy was sent up * against tougher game in 1909, and despite his youth he came out with flying colors. It was In this year that Charlie was sent against the first of four champions. Abe At- tell was White’s opponent December 6. and Charlie lost the decision in eight rounds at Memphis. This was ! the only defeat suffered by the Chi- : cago boy in his second year of ring I activity. Among those Charlie dis- ; posed of were Frankie Conley, Mor- i ris Bloom. Paul Sicora, Earl Denning and Young Dougherty. In all. White won ten battles and lost one. » * * T HR year 1910 found White under * the management of Nate Lewis, the Chicago manager. Nate pushed Charlie to the front at once by send- j lng him against the toughest boxers j in the world. Although Charlie was | defeated three times in this year, he ! also gained his first real prominence in the boxing world. White met Joe Mandot twice, losing and winning In eight rounds; fought Ad Wolgast a six-round draw; defeated Bobby Waugh twice; shaded Abe Attell and won two decisions over Tommy Dixon. Charlie*also lost a twenty- round decision to Danny Webster on the Coast. Lewis kept getting still tougher opponents for White in 1911, and, Charlie, helped by added experience, went through the entire year without a defeat. He got revenge on Joe Mandot by beating the French baker boy in an eight-round go, fought a draw with Johnny Kilbane in twelve rounds, won two decisions over Bobby Waugh, who outweighed him by eight pounds, and triumphed over Boyo Driscoll in an eight-round go at Memphis. White put the latter out of business by breaking two of his ribs. 0 • * In 1912 White secured matches with the best boys in the world. After winning over Battling Schultz, Tommy Dixon. Steve Ketchel and Kid Julian, White was offered a match with Johnny Dundee, who up to that time had 8f» victories without a defeat to his credit. The bout took place at New York April 30. Johnny at that time had a match pending at Madison Square Garden with Johnny Kilbane. providing he defeat ed W r hite. Dundee never got that match and also suffered the first knockdown of his career, besides losing a few teeth. Charlie gave Dundee the beat ing of his life for ten rounds, nearly stopping him in the last session. As a reward the McMahon brothers gave White a match with Owen Moran, which Charlie won in nine rounds. He was next sent against Young Shu- grue. Pal Moore and Oscar Williams. White won all these matches. • * • Thi$ year Charlie is after a knock out record. So far he has had seven fights and has won six over the K. O. route. Joe Thomas, twice, George Meyers and Jake Abel were some of those put away. His only defeat was at the hands of Jack Britton. The bout was stopped In the eighteenth round when the sheriff said the bout was becoming a prize fight. Despite the fact that Britton outweighed Charlie by ten pounds he never even floored the Chicago boy once during the entire bouL AT SARATOGA.

Aug 4.—Fol lowing a conference of the directors of the ”W-I.” League here this afternoon President Weeks gave out the following statement: “We have the assurance of President J. A. Croon, of the Rockford club, that in the future umpires will be protected on the Rockford grounds and that there wll be no rdpetition or possibility of a repetition of the riot of Wednesday. As far as the Oshkosh-Rockford series baited by my orders, those games will simply he stricken off All talk of giv ing Rockford any satisfaction on ac count of their loss Is simply bosh. Rock ford is getting off pretty weli as it is.” Umpire McGloon, the first witness, testified to the extent of the rowdiness on the Rockford field. President John Kluwin. of the Oshkosh team, took part in the examination of witnesses. The Rockford players are given credit for rallying to the support of the um pire when the mob rushed on the field, but they are held culpable and the real inciters of the riot through their con duct. Washinnton fans having bought a lov ing cup for Walter Johnson, it is said that several American League magnates are preparing to bay h m first-class pas sage (one way) to Novgorod. N EW YORK, Ang. 4.—“I never saw a smoother piece of ma chinery in my life than Walter Johnson in the box,” says George Da vis, the old-time star inftelder of the Chicago and New York clubs. “I’ve seen a lot of ball players In my time, and I was in there a good many years myself. I’ve s*een some of the greatest pitchers of the last twenty years, but I’ve never seen a better working pitcher than Johnson. He is grace itself out there. Never is there a false motion. He delivers the ball with all his great speed without jerking himself, or straining him-"cIf in any way. I would give a million dollars if I could find his equal some where and send him to Griff. •00 “■AS a matter of fact. Griff has a 1 * good ball club. I stayed three days in Washington and saw those games with the Athletics. Well, the Griffmen didn’t win them all. but they showed that they knew how to play ball, all right, and it’s only a matter of time when Clark will have his team up there fighting for the pennant. 0 0 0 ‘<THAT boy Porter at third base, even now after his illness, is one of the best little third basemen I've ever seen. In some ways he re minds me strongly of Norman Elber- feld. When Elberfeld was in his prime, he was one of the greatest in the business, and many of his move ments are now being shown by Fos ter particularly in tagging the run ner at third. At this trick. Kid Elber feld was a past master, but Foster Is just as good. “Morgan is another good-looking youngster at second base. I played that bag myself a number of years, too, you know, and the way he trav els to the bag for throws or ground balls is beautiful. Morgan ought to be one of the best second basemen in the game before he slows up. He seems to know something about play ing ball. 0 0 0 GT TELL you,” says ^Davis, “finding ball players is "no eapy thing. The scout to-day who grabs every minor lenguer he gees is foolish. I’ve been looking at bushers a long while, and never before have they looked so bad. A good scout nowadays is one who turns down 90 per cent of th" tipped players. Mike Kahoe is a suc cessful scout just for that reason. He doesn’t dig up many players in a year, but he saves his club many thousands of dollars every season by failing to recommend a whole lot of dubs who never would make stars in the big show. The Giants and the Yankees are losing a lot of money every year through grabbing at bush ers who never make good. Of course, you don’t hear much about the fail ures. FoTks always point to Marquard and Tesreau, but you ne\er hear of the lemons. The Yankees paid $7,000 for Paddy Green last year, and he was the worst lemon in years.” ZBYSZKO CLAIMS IT AGAIN. DULUTH. Aug. 4.—Herman, mana ger of Stanislous Zbvszko declared here to-day that he would formally claim the world’s heavyweight wrest ling title for the Pole by September, in the event that Frank Gotch con tinued to refuse to meet Zbyszko in a finish contest. "We will wrestle winner to take all. and will willingly submit to any conditions that the Iowa farmer will name,” said Her man. THE ALIBI IS WHAT THE law A sharps call a right without a benefit. It is also a test of in genuity and promotes the gayety of nations. For all of these rea sons it should be encouraged. The origin of the Alibi has been mislaid in the dusty file-room of the past. Even Sam Crane does not recall the first one. From time immemorial the Alibi has been the loner’s end of a contest for sport ing honor, and so far as history records. Goliath was the only loser who didn't have one. This was undoubtedly due only to the fact that David copped so hard with the firgt slam that he was never able to talk again, for it is a cinch that somebody had put something in his tea. At the risk of appearing brutal, we are sometimes guilty of wishing that this good old wallop of David’s had been handed down to posterity in all Its pristine vigor. In the use of the Alibi, the Eng lish excel all others in brilliancy and the Americans in gall. It was an Englishman who alibied the de feat of the polo challengers on the ground that the Americans played polo better than the game was in tended to be played. But it was an American who claimed that the whole English royal family and the House of Lords were out to trim the Yankees in the Olympic games. We could quote other local ex amples, but it is bad form to exult unduly in the prowess of the home talent. ' No ordinary sportsman ever en ters competition without a well- tried alibi about him. Veterans fre quently, through long practice, are able to trust extemporaneous work and thus produce remarkable speci mens. Always remember that if wou must he a bad los*er. you might as well win credit as a bright liar. (Get the next article of the heart rending series without fail.

Said Richards is a motorcycle demon and so is said Graves. Said Graves defeated said Richards last Wednes day night and said Richards Is out to avenge said defeat. To-morrow night said riders will clash at the Drome and h is not unlikely that some records will be smashed. Graves’ machine arrived just in time for the races last w r eek. It was able to travel at an 87-mile-an-hour clip then, but to-morrow night Morty save he will be able to get over 90 per out of it. “I am going to show Atlanta’s fans what speed is,” Morty says. "If I don’t carry off the honor of holding ; the track record for ten miles, it will I not be because I haven’t the nerve to try it.
