The Rev. R. R.

NOT MANY OF LAST YEAR GOLF CHAMPS WILL REPEAT, BELIEF (Copyright, «1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, March 15.—How many of the golf champions of 1923 will repeat this year? Not many, if precedent is to be-believed. And “Because | get lots more for my money” The man who rolls his own from “BULL” Durham has found his best friend for life. He's always going to be sure of real quality and real tobacco taste. And think of the m¢ money he saves—100 cigarettes for 15 cents! Re Ncotonaitle “BULL” DURHAM NOW fed some admirable golf not many if last year's crop of al- most champions can do anything about it. They are a strong aggregation of golfers, these near-champlons of last year. There is Dexter Cummings, for instance. He won the intercol- legiate title, but isn’t it possible! that there is something better in store for him? If he should develop into such a golfer as to become a leader, and if his sister, Miss Edith Cummings should continue her suc- cesses, America could boast a brother-and-sister act comparable to the famows Poger and Joyce ‘Wethered ‘of, England. Dr, O. P. ‘iling of Portland play- in 1923. There were times when he .seemed bound for the higher honors in the game—and what rejoicing it would have caused on the Pacific Coast had’ he won in England. “What re- Joicing it would cause if he could win a national championship tn the United States. _ Frank Dyer was another golfer who won some honor in 1923, and who was named for greater honor in 1924, He‘has changed his resi- dencg to Memphis although he will come north to defend his golf titles. But if he wins in the north he will carry the glory of his success to Tennessee, and Tennessee will be- gin to brag about the skill of its golfers. Bobby +Cruickshank was not heralded as a superior golfer when the season of 1923 began, but he car- tied Bobby Jones through that fur- fous battle at Inwoo dand of all the men who had been named to do that sort'of thing Cruickshank was not nténtioned. What ts he likely to do in 1924? ee 8 ability. Ig there e@ pro rene enough, to take away from Bobby Jones the title that he earned? Some of them say they, will get it. That is thelr privilege, of course. They. insist that the old hoodoo about no cham- pionsh{p two years in succession will sidé-track Joner, but if he is side tracked it may be that none of the galaxy of Barnes, Hutchison Hagen and Kirkwood Will be able to win it, although Kirkwood is playing a stronger game this spring than he has since he came to the United States to live. George Von Elm may come into the foreground more prominently. Rudy Knepper ‘threatened to be a valiant figure in golf battles and then dropped out of the picture, but it may be only for the moment. ‘That Max Marston will be able to save the amateur title not one in ten believes, but as likely as-not if ‘j he is unable to repeat, the man who 15 €1GHT CENTS A BAG! wins from him will be some one of those who looked good in 1923 but had not quite arrived at the top of his gam Butler Cagers Capture Title KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 18.— Butler. college, Indianapolis, won the national A.

JOE LYNCH TRAINING LIMIT FOR HIS FIGHT ‘FRIDAY WITH GOLDSTEIN NEW + YORK, March 15.—Joe Lynch, world’s bantamweight cham- pion, who defends his title against Abe Goldstein in Mad'son ‘Square Garden Friday night, went into the intensive part of his. training today on the farm near Nyack, which is owned by Eddie Meade, his man- ager. Lynch. boxed eight rounds with Pee Wee Kalser of St. Louis, and Al Pettingill, New Orleans, his two sparring partners. He started box- ing yesterday. The © champion weighed 130 Pounds when he started working, but he expects to have no trouble in making 11§ pounds for Goldstein. ‘Since he was suspended by the New Yirk boxing commission for refusing to defend his title, Lynch has grown a moustache, which he will have removed before he enters the ring. Lynch probably will be a prohib- itive favorite in the betting to re- tain his title when he enters the rin ms CHAE NOT | CONDITION NOW, FARRELL SAY Gossip obtains Late Venfied; Only One Fight in Making. By Henry L. Farrell NEW YORK, *March 15. —Jack Dempséy has been scheduled on’“Tex” Rick- ard’s ‘summer boxing pro- gram for only one contest because the champion is not in good physical condition and can- not enter the ring for six months.

Rickard said he still hoped to mike use of Gibbons and he | intl- mated that he might match him with Erminio Spalla, Quintin Ro- mero, Jack Renault, or others he has in mind, While Dempsey has agreed to terms for a Labor day bout with Firpa, it is not certain that he, will, be able to fight then and Rickard is), known to be making plans to haye another opponent ready for Firpo it Dempsey should not be in condition to fight them.
