SPORTS. Preside DEFEAT McLEOD-SMALL ’INA. PR IDENT HARDIN Club _when and Robert the, “GRUDGE” MATCH er : BY FAIRPLAY. G and long Jim Barnes of Pelham, national open goli champion, evened up an old golfing grudge yesterday afternoon over the championship links of the Columbia Country deieated Freddie McLeod, the Columbia professional, mall, Washington correspondent. The margin of vic- tory was narrow—one point—the match being played on a two-points- to-the-hole scoring basis, one point going for the best ball and one point for the lowest aggregate scor When the President was sojourning in Florida last winter prior to the inaugu- ration he and Barnes played together as partners several times, and at the last meeting_were defeated by McLeod mall. This was at St. Augustine, cLeod was attached to the St. e links for the winter, and mall was representing t@e ac- tivities of the President-elect. By an unusual cofncidence it o turned out at the national open champlonship held in this city last week Barnes proved the winner, with McLeod in second place. Reminds President of Blot. President Harding presented the trophies to the winners Friday after- noon, and at that time Barnes reminded him of the fact that they had the sting of defeat to wipe out; that in short there was a blot on their golfing escutcheon. The President agreed that an attempt should be made to extinguish that blot and he asked Barnes to remain over in IWashington until Monday to renew the old foursome hostilities of last winter with diminutive Fredffie and the cor- respondent. The game was preceded by a Juncheon at the White House for the foursome. the DPresident seating Barnes, the champion, on his right, and McLeod, the runner-up. on his left. News «f the contest leaked out. and there was & good sized gal- lery on hand to watch the start and finish of the match. It is an un- written rule of the links here in Washington that galleries shall not follow the President around the . who is at the very top of game, played brilliantly, as usual, and the President was so lost in admiration of the champion's shots he neglected several of his own. On the homeward journey Barnes cut loose with a number of birdies. holing a 3 at the tenth, a 2 at the thirteenth and a 3 at the four- teenth. Barnes had a 75 for the eighteen holes, against a 77 for Mec- Leod. President “Shoota” Well. Despite the zood scoring by the professionals, Mr. Harding several times tied their balls for low score. which meant par golf in most in- stances. At one time during the second nine Small and McLeod were five points down, but, taking advan- tage of every slip made by their distinguis opponents, they cut down the lead to all but the winning point. The gruesome fifth hole at Colum- bia. which proved a graveyard for many a champlonship hope in the ent tournament. did not bother President or his associates at all. The President played his second short of the vawning ninety-yard trap, with its mounds and sand pits, and on his third went sailing across almost to the green, which is 560 yards from the tee. The champion- ship tees are still in use at Colum- bia and this called for some excep- tionally long carries to avoid traps, streams or rough. The strong points of the Presi- dent's game are driving and putting, however, and when he sank a twelve- footer on the eighteenth green the gallery ‘broke into applause remi- niscent of the championship tourna- ment. President Harding is a loyal golfer and he has high regard for the professionals of the stripe of Barnes, McLeod, Hagen and the others who have done so much for the game in this country. CAREY MAKES 17 0UTS Feat of Pirate Center Fielder Equals Felsch’s Mark.—Adams Baffles Giants. Scoops Carey, Pirate center flelder, Yesterday was credited with elev Dutouts, in a game at Pittsburgh wi the Giants. to equal the mark set by Hap Felsch of 1919 White Sox. when he took twelve chances without a slip in a game with the Indians.

Carey got two doubles and & single in four efforts. RUTH HITS LONG HOMERS. Drives Ball Over Wall in Ex- hibition at Cincinnati.

NEW YORK, July 26.—President Harding in a letter expressing his regret at being unable to attend the Joint Princeton-Cornell and Oxford- Cambridge track meet at Travers Island Thursday praised the spirit of the international contest. . “I am desirous that you'should be assured of my interest and sincere approval of such contests as this' the President wrote. “l Know that in the past years such friendly com- petitions have done much for the pro- motion of those splendid relations be- tween our country and the govern- ment _and the people of the United Kingdom, which have so excellently eerved both countries for now a fuil century. “In these fine and manly contests, the very essence of which in true sportsmanship and real good fellow- ship, we have found the basis of good understanding and friendly sentiments. I have many times been informed of the pleasure with which our American Athletic repre- sentatives in Oreat Britain have re- ceived the hospitalities there shows ered upon them, and I confidently, hope that our own treatment of visi- tors from the other side will never fail of full reciprocity. Whatever shall contribute to the maintenance and further improvement, .if it be possible, of the splendid relations so long existing between the two Eng- lish-speaking nations, must be of service not only to these nations, but, indeed, to every interest of eivi- lization and humanity.” CUP TO AMERICAN BOAT Bootlegger Takes Trophy From Canadian Sloops—Another Yan- kee Entry Finishes Second.

High scores in the preliminary 100- target match follow: nt and Barnes Win at Golf : Herman Is One of Few Champions to Come Back- HARDING LAUDS SPORTBRITISH NETEN PRME[WINS 12 OF 15 ROUNDS IN VICTORY OVER LYNCH EW YORK, July 26.—For the Pete Herman is bantamwei proving the old ring proverh man tore into Joe Lynch before Brooklyn, last night and won back the title of which Lynch had de- prived him last December 22. Herman regained his crown as he had lost it—by a judge's decision. The bout went the full fifteen scheduled rounds and Herman clearly had the better of thirteen of them on points. Lynch was credited with three rounds. Jlach boxer weighed in at 116% pounds. One of Few to “Come-Back.” Herman is one of the few fighte to regain a lost championship. Stan ley Ketchel, after being knocked out by Billy Papke, returned the favor in a later bout for the middleweight champlonship. Herman, in his battle for the title, WAS not the same boxer who so list- lessly let the ring bauble slip from him last winter. He was as different as day is from dark. No strictly de- fensive battle with an attitude of meek submission here. Instead the positions were reversed. A glaring transformation was witnessed in the styles of the two voxers. Herman fought as if his life depended on the result. And when ne fought this way Lynch was nonplussed. The great crowd, therefore, witnessed the spec- tacle ‘of Lynch.' the champion, forming as did Herman, then champion, on that chill yulgtide holi- day night last winter. Lynch managed to carry off fthe second, xixth and eleventh sessions. For the remainder of the battle the champion was subjected to a stemdy. systematic beating, which resulted in Herman compiling a record of points which only & Knockout could upset and as the battle progressed of the pace. gradually lost that snap and dash which must be possessed if a_knockout victory is to be accom- plished. Wears Lynch Down. An analysis of the battle 'is fur- nished in the declaration that Her- man fought in his accustomed stylé and Lynch_could not. The springy little southerner started a well fought battle with the opening of the first round and seldom thereaf- ter did he deviate from his set course. This was evidenced in_ the workmaniike manner in which Her- man accomplighed the victory. He gradually wore Lynch down to A state of ineffectiveness—to a point where he knew he was safe from the danger of the champion’s vaunted right—and then continued methodi- cally to accumulate points which Lynch could not overcome, desperate efforts in the rounds to turn with _one lusty full-powered blow. A lone hold-up man poked a re- volver through the glars in one of the ticket booths while the lights at the park were temporarily extin- guished by the blowing out of a fuse and robbed a ticket taker of $900. Another Herman Scores. In the semi-final Babe Herman. 124, of Sacramento.
