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. v • •!* •pe-J- -J* • -!« •{•••{- • .]♦ 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.

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. Phila. C'land. Wash. Chicago W. L.

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.

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.
