Skinny Won—Oh, Just by a Small Margin Bv Chick Evans. I T IS that the chief obstacle to Jerome Travers’ playing in the British championship has been his u»e of the center-fhafted 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 a?* one of the poor est of putters, and nobody has realized 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 is truly won or lost with few' excep tion, one of these 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 rkill against our British brethren, for only In that way can we know how for 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 ambition t<•Compete on British courses cares to depend upon the use of th* Schenectady. I have no personal feeling about the center-shafted putter other than this: At the present I 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 Hill much to learn from Great Britain.

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 by Jersey City when the Cubs sold him 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 LOnS. Aug 4 President Schuy ler P Britton, of the Cardinals, is on the warpath anq In an endeavor to strengthen that club to-day declared he would trade every member of the club, except Manager Miller Huggins That means C»»t Fid Koney Harry Sallee. Boh 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, Beds and other clubs. The tumble into eighth place for the first time in years is too much for President Britton and Mana ger Huggins. IT HBN Charlie White, the Ohi- V/Y 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 w'hen 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 only 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 sufTered defeat at his hands were Danny Goodman. Billy O’Keefe, Kid Duffy and Benny Troubles. won two decisions over Tommy Dixon. Charlie also lost a twenty- round decision to Dariny 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 tw'elve 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. r 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 activity. Among those Charlie dis posed of were Frankie Conley, Mor ris Bloom, Paul Sicora, Earl Denning and Young Dougherty. In all. White won ten battles and lost one. 2:30 to 5 GRAND 8: i® to REAL MOViES all FIRST RUN SPECIALS SEATS 10 cts AND : EXCLUSIVE FEATURES 'T' HE year 1910 found White under * the management of Nate Lewis, the Chicago manager. Nati* pushed Charlie to the front at once by send ing him against the toughest boxers 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 tw'ice. losing and winning in eight rounds; fought Ad Wolgast a six-round draw: defeated Hobby Waugh twice; shaded Abe Attell and : 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 mutch with Johnny Dundee, who up to that time had 85 victories without a defeat to his credit. The bout took place at New York April 30. Johnny at that time had a match pending ut Madison Square Garden with Johnny Kilbane. providing he defeat ed White. 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 tlie* 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. This year Charlie is after a knock out record. Sq 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 tin* bout was becoming a prize fight. Despite the fact that Britton outweighed tliarlie by ten pounds, he never even floored the Chicago boy once during the entire bout. lYomoter Tom McCarev practically set all doubts about the proposed Wol- gast-Ritchie fight aside yesterday when he refused to accept the match or hold the stakes Ritchie accepted this as final, and put the match aside.

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 belter 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 hlm>*elf in any way. I would give a million dollars if I could find his equal some where and send him to Griff. "AS a matter of fact. Griff has a good ball club. I stayed three nays 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 therq fighting for the pennant. PUNISHED FOR ATTACK ON UMPS AT ROCKFORD ‘‘THAT boy Foster 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 E1T rfeld 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 Elb£r- feld was a past master, but Foster is just as good. “Morgan is another good-looking youngster at second base. I played that bag mys*elf 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 'n the game before he slows up. He seems to know something about play ing ball. FAMOUS IN SPORT—II. The Altyi. HTHE 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 loser’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 first 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 be a bad loser, you might as well win credit as a bright liar. (Get the next article of the heart rending series without fail.

FOND DU LAC.. WIS.. 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 ; .1. A. Croon, of the Rockford club, that iiy the future umpires will bp protected oh the Rockford grounds and that there | wll be no rdoetitiort or possibility of a 1 repetition of the riot of Wednesday. As far as the Oshkosh-Rockford series halted by my orders, those games will simply be 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 well as It Is.C 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 tne 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. OJTELL you,” says Davis, “finding ball players is ‘no easy thing. Tlie scout to-day who grabs every minor leaguer he sees is foolish. I’ve been looking at bushers a long while, and nevfer 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. Folks always point to Marquard and Tesreau, but you never hear of I the lemons. The Yankees paid $7,000 for Paddy Green last year, and he was the worst lemon in years." "I TRIED TO AID CHANCE” declared Mr. Callahan in the matter of the Zeider-Chase deal: which re calls the helpful willingness of the boy who wanted a hatchet to kill the fly on baby’s head.
