This proposal was not even accorded respectful consid- j eration by Griff's fellow magnates, but it has become increasingly appar- ent that there is more to be said for them than against his schemes. 1t now develops that Commissfoner Landis, although not cpm- mitted to a plan ux drastic ax that put forward hy Griff Inst winter, forexaw Just such a trade scandal an that hetween the two New York and two Bost X but a majority of the sixteen club owners in joint xesxlon vetoed suggestions.

He also took a 100- mile race in fifty-three minutes here yesterday after his reconl-breaking 50-mile run in the Cotati sprint. Jimmy Murphy was forced out of tho &print while he was in the lead and traveling 119 miles an hour. In the nineteenth lap he stripped a tire, the rubber of which jammed his brake band. Murphy also came -to grief in the century event, in which three tire changes forced him to take second place. Elliott drove the 100 miles withoutfa tire change. The former record for fifty miles was held by Ralph de Palma, veteran Italian pilot. ~ He made the mark at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y. on June 14, 1914, when he negotiated the dis- tance in 26.23 41-100. Tommy Milton was second and Eddie Hearne, third; Jerry Wonder- lich, fourth; Bennett HIill. fifth, and Art Klein, sixth. Al Melcher was in seventh place and Harry Hartz was eighth, Elliott's average speed for the 100- mile race was 113% miles an hour.

Joe Bush chalked up his eighteenth triump'. Babe Ruth walloped out his twentieth homer, and the Hugmen obtained revenge for FPillette's two victories over them at the Polo Grounds recently by driving Cobb's voung hurling star from the box in two innings. Jesse Barnes skyrocketed in the tenth inning and the Chicago Cubs scored eight runs, winning. 10 to 3. and culting the Giants’ lead over the Cardinalg to two points. Cincinnati hammered Grimes out of the bhox and beat Brooklyn, 6 to 3. in the only other National League game played.

It receives ita name from the brass plate covering its wole, and this covering ix necessary because the brassie hax much rougher work on the fairway than the driver has on the tee, and for the anme reasxon it hax n stiffer shaft. The im tant difference hetmzen the two clabs liex in the pitch and loft of the face, that of the bras- sle slanting backward and that of the driver being almost straight. This slanting face the brassie enables it to lite the ball in a w impossible for the driver. The Iatter club, however, obtains some- thing of the Tting power of the brassie from the tee from which it fs played. Above is pictured Emmet French, famous pro of Youngs- town, Ohio, who Is one of e championship contenders in all the biz tournaments.

EE. but it's tough to pick the hardest of the lot of hard bouts I have engaged in since taking up the )\ manly hit-and-get-away art eleven 3| years ago. Starting as a bantam in 1911, 1 have gone into ring battles against feather- weights and now lightweights. All told, I have par- ticipated in more than 300 bouts. Benny Leonard and 1 have been formally intro- duced from oppo- site corners on eight different occasions for a total of sixty-six rounds. It was against Benn that 1 alway found myself in Johnny Dundee. & grucling con- test, and on one ! occasion “the toughest of any of sy tussles. The main reason for my hard battles with Leonard has been because it always has beert my ambi- | tion to w ip Benny and beat him de- possible, arted back in 1915. We Our feud iboth were just about breaking in as leading lightweights in New York land it was a case of the better man being the best of the boxers of our weight there. Is there any wonder that I have longed to show superior form over Leonard, especially since’ he won the championship? Along about 1916 critics through- out the o Fred Welsh, then champion, was about through and they figured the Welshman would lose his title in 2| short time. = In June that year Leonard and I met for the second time, and, with a hout against Welsh in mind, ¥ found myself in the hardest bout of my career. ‘We clashed fri the ring at Madison Square Garden. The place was jammed to the doors. At that time Leonard was boxing and punching better than any time during his very successful career. And how I longed for a decisive victory! So anxious was I to get over a knockout punch that T took all sorts of chances to connect, and because of my eager- ness—much to my sorrow—Leonard was able to get over a knockdown punch. . Benny dropped me in one of the early rounds, but I was up after a brief count. .¥rom then on I tore into Leonard with all my might. I have never fought so hard in ail my life. We battled all over the ring. I was the ‘aggressor almost throughout. 1 have had a lot of fans—friends and just ordinary boxing bugs—iell me antry were predicting that Radiators- and Fenders i “Efi“fi.‘;‘.‘n’#-fih‘i’lflflfm MAKES DIATORS. » 2] WITTSTATT Wy v.ee wnr N Plan IMAY PICK CERTAIN CLUBS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY BY LAWREMCE PERRY. FROM talk your hear among golfers who have been doing the round of links this summer it scems likely that a movement will be launched this winter to follow the British idea in the matter of links for championships. Over there certain clubs are designated as the scenes of tourneys of national character and the links are used in rota- tion. In this country the course is selected in the winter,sand the cl! made that often the choices are none too good. For example, the scores made in the national open are attributed less to the excellence than to the fact that Skokie does not offer a severe test of golfis ty. There were too many 300-yard holes for men whose drives aver Iagc the distance of men of the sort that playca at Glencoe, 111 It is not unlikely that a list of clubs will be urged this winter to be used in rotation. such as Pine Valley, M n, Lido, the National links, Brookline und Brachurn. Here, t Is said, are courses that will test i the best of the professionals.
