T HE English golf press is telling
us a great deal concerning the
slowness of American players.
Slow Is an adjective that I never
expected to see applied by a Briton to
an American; hitherto terms indica
tive of speed have usually come our
way from that quarter. Things have
changed, however, since our las»t in
vasion of Great Britain. It appears
that all of our players who went
across the water this year took an
unconscionable time over every golf
stroke. First there would be a gen
eral reconnoitering all along the line
of play, then five or six practice
strokes, and then, and not till then,
the stroke proper.
• * •
THERE is considerable excuse for
* our golfers who went abroad this
year for the British amateur cham
pionship. They were much impressed
by the seriousness of their undertak
ing, the unusual nature of the Brit
ish courses differing widely from our
own, and their game had suffered
from want of practice. Heinrich
Schmidt had come practically from
shipboard to St. Andrews not more f
than three days before the champion- j
ship began. Therefore, our American j
entrants in the British amateur were,
perhaps, jusrtified in going slowly
along these unaccustomed ways.
riut there is no doubt that, general- I
ly speaking, the slow player is trying
to the nerves and temper of his op-j
ponent and never more so than dur
ing an important tournament. It seems
impossible for such a player to realize
that there are others in the compe
tition, and if every one went at such
a pace all pleasure In the game would
be destroyed. Of course, some men
are physically faster than others,
but that is not what is meant in
this instance.
Yankees Must Deliver, Says P. L.

Tired Of Receiving Sympathy
D ETROIT. Aug. 25. — Frank
Chance is tired of being pitied.
He wants no more sympathy.
He has brought about a crisis in the
club’s affairs by announcing to the
men, severally and collectively, that
they must play intelligent baseball
or get the gate. This came about
because the Yankees thought that
being in last place was funny.
“They used to sit around the club
and kid about being in the cellar.”
quoted Husk. “Well," he added grim
ly. “they don’t do it now."
Chance has shifted his attitude
toward the men. He is the real dis
tant but determined leader and the
Yanks are about the worst serious
proposition in fast company.
The oldest pitcher on the club is
Warhop, who Is now in New York,
having his arm treated, and the only
other veterans are Ford and Swee
ney. The latter has begun to appre
ciate that Chance is out to make good.
The big catcher never showed such
form as-on this trip. Only one base
has been actually stolen on him since
leaving New York, the other thefis
being allowed.
Eight men were turned back in
Chicago and six here. Said Sweeney
as the Yanks left St. Louis for De
troit:
* * •
bY^HANCE will have a ball club next
year, take it from me. He has
as good a pitching staff right now as
there is in the league, barring per
haps that of the White Sox. Fisher
is a high-class man. and if the club
was hitting a lick he’d show up as a
top-notcher. Three other men. Ford.
Keating and Caldwell, are better than
they have been any time this season.
“A pitching staff can either make
or break a catcher. Our pitchers
have only begun to hold up runners
lately. They're all on the job now.
furthermore, we have two cracker-
jack men at short and second—Peck
and Knight. You can cut the ball
loose and feel certain they are cov
ering.
<‘T RA THOMAS was a poor catcher
* when with New York and De
troit. He went to Philadelphia and
hooked up with clever pitchers like
Plank, Bender and Coombs. He im
mediately showed form. Chance’s
pitching staff will make them all sit
up before the season to over. Of
course, we’ll beat out St. Louis.’’
Wolgast-Dundee Go May Be Off
•i-ad*
Sept. 2 Bouts Cause of Trouble
T
HERE is the man who takes threp
or :’our practice swings; who
goes ahead to look over the ground
for a eleek, or full midiron, or even
a half-iron shot; who throws grass
up in the air, seven or eight times,
to determine the direction of the
wind; who tries first one club and
then another; and finally he gets
down on his hands and knees, and
occasionally hto stomach, at both
ends of a putt. Sometimes he does
every one of these things and some
times after doing them his shot fails.
Many of these things are excellent,
particularly taking practice shots, to
loosen one’s muficles, but they should
not be continued indefinitely to the
detriment of others. A game should
not be delayed unnecessarily. Con
sideration for others is an admirable
thing in golf as in other things.

By IT. M. Walker.
L OS ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 25 —
Somebody has crossed the wire*?.
From San Francisco comes the
report that Ad Wolgast is to box a
little boy named Azevedo in an Oak
land ring on Labor Day.
It is also stated that Johnnie Dun
dee has closed a contract to box
Leach Cross on the same day.
These reports are puzzling, inas
much a9 Wolgast and Dundee have
signed to box twenty rounds before
the Pacific Athletic Club at Vernon
on the afternoon of Admission Day,
September 9. They have posted for
feits of $1,000 each, and a clause
in the articles says that neither man
is to engage in a contest between
now and the date of their meeting
here.
“Cherokee” Tom Jones, who still
acts as Wolgast’s manager, is in Los
Angeles and claims to have no
knowledge of the Azevedo affair.
• • •
U1V/TY check for $1,000 is up to guar-
* ant.ee that Wolgast will live up
to the Admission Day conditions,”
said Jones yesterday. “I have had
no advice from him other than that
his injured hand was mending nicely
and that he intended to go through
With the Dundee date. There must
be something wrong somewhere.”
“Scotty” Monteith, Dundee’s man
ager. called Promoter T. J. McCarey
over the telephone yesterday. He
claimed that Wolgast was going to
box on Labor Day and claimed the
same privilege.
“I don’t know what it is all about,”
said McCarey last night. “Our con
tract is a plain one. Neither man
must enter the ring before they box
for me on Admission Day. If they
do. they may consider their Los An
geles date cancelled.”
* » t
U fOLGAST is still a big drawing
card in the South. Dundee, by
the improvement shown in his work
when he so derisively beat "Chicago ’
Jack White, made of himself a fair
attraction.
The fact that WolgaMt and Dundee
would meet on a pound-for-pound
and an inch-for-inch basis, together
with the feeling that Wolgast has
“gone back,” gives the proposed
card such an even look that the
match would in all probability draw
a big house here on the holiday
date. Should Ad and Johnny break
their contracts they will be prac
tically passing up a house that fig
ures to run from $10,000 to $15,000.
• • •
W OLGAST would be taking little
chance of defeat in meeting
Azevedo, who is an unknown boy with
no ring record behind him. <>n the
other hand, Dundee courts* almost cer
tain defeat in taking on the tough
veteran. Cross. Nothing that Dundee
has ever done in the ring would jus
tify his manager in matching him
with a high-grade man like Leach
Cross.

NEW SPEED BOAT ENTERS
KEOKUK RACES TO-MORROW
KEOKUK, IOWA. Aug 25.—Hydro-
Bullet, a 25-foot F&uber hydroplane
owned by Earl H. Peakin, Elkhorn,
Wis., and carrying a 100-horsepower
Van Blerck motor, was entered to-day
for the Mississippi Valley races here
August 26, 27 and 28. She is believed to
be a “dark horse, ’ and is said to be
capable of sensational speed, though she
has been unknown up to this time
That tremendous power is not al
ways necessary to attain high speed is
illustrated in the Storey William, a
17-foot Valley hydroplane, entered by
A. J. Ruddiek, of Gregory Mo. The
Scarey William is powered with a three-
cylinder 15-horsepower Erd high speed
motor, and at the Quincy races recently
she cleaned up every other boat except
ing the Teaser IV.. which has 100-horse-
powur. With only 15-horsepower the
Scarey William made within a fraction
of 30 miles an hour, or only about eight
miles less per hour than the big 100-
horsepower planer.
Scarey William is expected to be one
of the sensations of the Keokuk regatta,
despite her small power, and is sure to
trim everything In her class, barring un
foreseen accidents.
NEW MOTORCYCLE RECORD.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Aug. 25.—
What is said to be a world’s record

torcycle was made Sunday afternoon
by Harry Goudy, of Chicago, when
he rounded the local mile track 100
times in 92 minutes fiat. The previ
ous record for a 100 miles on a dirt
track waa 95 n^inutes.
LORE AND REILLY WILL
CLASH IN NEW YORK RING
NEW YORK. Aug 26 —Jimmy John
ston has just closed a good match for
his show at the St Nicholas Athletic
Club next Wednesday night. For the
star bout he has signed Johny Lor© and
Young Reilly This should be a “hear”
of a right, as the keenest rivalry exists
between the two boys. They are boxers
of the same type, and that presages a
whirlwind battle. Both are strong, ag
gressive, good stiff punchers and fairly
clever.
In the semi-final contest, Patsy Cal
lahan, the "Fighting Irish Lad.” who
has been persistently challenging Cham
pion Johnny Kilbane without success,
will meet Joe Stacey, a Bronx feather
weight, who has been making a fine
showing of late.
