STILL
TO OLD PUTTERS
By Chick Evans.
I T IS wild that the chief obstacle to
Jerome Travera' playing in the
British championship has been his
tifie of the center-shafted putter, and
that he is seriously considering the
adoption of a standard club. Thlif re
mark raises a difficulty that we have
all been obliged to consider. For years
1 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
rtip away from me on the putting
green, that fatal spot where the gam«*
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 1» vastly easier ftian 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 1 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
?*kill 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 w-as 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
to compete on British courses eares
to depend upon the use of the
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
Jn British tourneys. We have Kill
much to learn from Great Britain.

NASHVILLE-CRACKER GAME
MUST BE PLAYED OVER
That justly celebrated forfeited
game in Nashville will have to be
played over.
Major Frank E. Callaway, president
of the Atlanta Baseball Association,
got a letter this morning from Pre*
ldent 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 gnme that
the Nashville management requested
might be moved from Monday to
Sunday, just after Sunday ball begun
jn that town. The Crackers agreed
find the game was played. Then
Nashville insisted on laying off Mon
day, while the Crackers apepared and
claimed the game by forfeit. The clubs
played Tuesday and the Crackers de
parted Wednesday, the Vols claiming
a forfeit that day.
CALLAWAY TO CHATTANOOGA
TO SEE JERSEY CITY MAN
Major 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.
“I really don't know what he s
after.” Major Callaway said this
morning. ‘‘He wired that he would
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 deFired 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. LOUIS, Aug 4—President Schuy
ler P Britton, of the Cardinals, is on
the warpath and in an endeavor to
strengthen that club to-day declared be
would trade every member of the club,
except Manager Miller Huggins.
That means that Ed Koney. Harry
Bailee. Bob Harynon. even Substitute
Charley O'Leary and recruits, will be
F>vaped if there 1* a chance to strength
en the club. Whether any trade wdll
be made is not known, but President
Britton announced that negotiations
have been opened with the Giants, Reds
end other clubs. The tumble into eighth
place for the first time in years is too
much for President Britton and Mana
ger Huggins.

White and Whitney Fear No One
+•+ +•+ 4* 4*
Neither Boy Has Been Stopped
tty Loft Hook.
W IEN Charlie White, the 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 only
17 years old then, as he lias 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.
• • •
r HB 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 Slcora, Karl Denning
and Young Dougherty. In all. White
won ten battles and lost one.
* • •
T HE year 1910 found White under
the management of Nate Lewis,
the Chicago manager. Nate 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 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 heating 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.
• • *
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 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
at 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 the last session. As
| a reward the McMahon brothers gave
j White a match t^lth Owen Moran,
j 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. Bo far he has had seven
fights and has won six over th? K. O.
route. Joe Thomas, twice, George
Meyers and Jake Abel were some of
th088 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
j the fact \hat Britton outweighed
Charlie by ten pounds, he never even
l Moored the Chicago boy once during
the entire bout.
Promoter Tom McOarey practically
set all doubts about the proposed Wol-
gast-Rltchie fight aside yesterday when
he refused to accept the match or hold
the Btakes. Ritchie accepted this as
final, and put the match aside

PUNISHED FOR ATTACK
ON UMPS AT ROCKFORD
FOND PT ? LAC., WIS Aug 4—Fol
lowing a conference of the directors of
the ‘' W -1. ” 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 groundc and that there
will be no repetition or posibility of a
repetition of the riot of ^ ednesday. 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-
ooi^nt of their loss is simply bokh. Rock
ford Is getting off pretty well as it is.”
T'mpire McGloon. the first witness,
testified to the extent of the row’dvness
on the Rockford field. President John
Klnwin, of the Oshkosh team, took part
in the examination of witnesses
The Rockford players are given credit

oirt when the mob rugged on the field,

N EW YORK, Ang. 4—‘1 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 lnfielder 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
piany years myself. I’ve seen 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^lf
in any way. I would give a million
dollars if 1 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
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.
* * *
“'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 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.
• * •
TELL you.” says Davis, “finding
1 ball players is no ea.«y thing.
The scout to-day who grabs every
minor leaguer he sees 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 the
tipped players. Mike Kahoe is a 5*uc-
cessful scout just for that reason.
He doesn’t dig up many players in a
year, but he .®aves his club many
thousands of dollars every season by
failing to recommend a whole lot of
(lube 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
the lemons. The Yankees paid $7,0ftd
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 Zbyszko declared

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

The Alibi.
T HE 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 ha** been
mislaid in the dusty file-room cf
the past. Even Sam Crane does
not recall the first one. From time
immemorial the Alibi has been the
loj«er’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 los*er. you might as
well win credit as a bright liar.
