TTTF ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SAYS 0. FLOTD By Otto C. Floto. D ENVER, Aug. 30.—The muddled condition of the middleweight division regarding the oham- I ionshij- 1« in a measure attributed to the ten-round route. It is claimed that the distance is too short to pro- due* 1 real champion. That twenty rounds are required for this, and that if the longer Journey were adopted we would have a recognized cham pion in that class.

Always five or six contenders wltn claims and not a single one with cre dentials that entitles him to the pre mier honor*. • • • I N the days of finish fights or in the twenty-round arena there seldom was a doubt as to who was the real leader of any division. Men who fought during the period when dis putes were staged "on the turf" never left the ring until a winner and a loser had been established. Then no arguments as to the verdict were dis cussed, because we might say "The bouts refereed themselves." and the only use for the third man in the ring at that time wan to guard against transgressions of the code and to an nounce nunlshment when a vlolatior or bn u of the rules was commit ted.

C HICAGO, Auk. 29.—Mr. Warren Wood, our brilliant Western amateur champion, will not en ter the National this year The an nouncement comes as a surprise to his hundreds of admirers and to his personal friends, and It means a dis tinct lessening of the West's chance to bring home the championship. We had expected much of Warren this year, and his absence from the big competition at Garden City Is a grievous disappointment to us It weakens the Chicago delegation to a regrettable extent, but we admire the courage with which Warren has put aside the most fascinating pleasure in the world for the good of his busi ness This is the busy season of the year with him. During the week of the tournament Warren will do doubt in dulge in occasional surreptitious dreams of a beautiful golf course and trailing galleries and little white balls In arrowy Might through the air or running swiftly over velvety greens to the waiting hole. He will probably hear, in imagination, the clapping of hands, the rustling movement of the heart of the golfer. Yet Warren, at the top of his game, has the courage to forego all the pleasure of compe tition that he knows so well and to devote himself to business. He has had a very liberal vacation this year, a month in the Northwest and a week for the Western, and has put tempta tion aside and will work his hardest during that long first week of Sep tember But we. the Chicago players, who are going to Garden City, In spite of our admiration for his conduct, are lamenting We had counted upon Warren to make a good fight, and we are a rather small band to at tack the numerous and valiant East. Perhaps other Western cities will come to our rescue. I. being a burnt child, am not rushing overconfidently into the fire. Many other Chicago players have deserted golf for business this year Th**re is Albert Seckel. devoted to business since his marriage, and D. E. Sawyer, equally devoted to money making Just before he enters the strange land of matrimony. Army and Navy May Clash After All ANNAPOLIS. MD„ Aug. 29— Navy officials to-day took steps Intended to have the Army team cancel Its scheduled game on November 29 with the Carlisle Indians and play the Navy football squad Instead. The ac tion of the Army officials In schedul ing a game with the Indians on the day set for the classic Army-Navy game, following the deadlock over the field where the Army-Navy game should be played, has come as a shock to the Navy officials. The Navy to-day. it was said, urged upon its athletic hoard to accede to the Army's demands that the annual game be played on the Polo Grounds, New York, feeling certain that if this concession Is not made nothing will induce the Army to cancel its game With Carlisle. The Navy hoard wanted the game played this year in Franklin Field. Philadelphia, as in previous years. The Army claimed the fl*!d was too small to accommodate the crowd that wanted to attend.
