INSIDE GOLF By George O'Neil. WHAT HAPPENS HERE? While the custom is passing out, some golf clubs still maintain a small flock of smheep for fairway “mowing” purposca. It may mot be commonly known. but a sheep will eat all the weeds first, then rexort to grass, and thus they are of value In keeping a courme nicely trimmed. Themodern links, how- ever, ix too crowded with players to permit of the pastoral flock. Last summer T was playing on a course . where wome sheep were graxing. Just before my opponent approached to the green with his midiron one of the sheep walked neross the green. The ball trickled into one of the sheep's tracks. Was this player entitled to remove his ball? REFEREE’S DECISIO He was. The tracks did mot make a hasard. A hazard is any bunker, water (except casual water), ditch (unless excepted by local rule), bush, sand, path or road. Sand blown on the grass, or aprinkled on the course for itn preservation, bare patches, sheep tracks, snow and ice are not has- ards. Weather Is not & hazard (R. and A.). Long grass ix not a has- ard (R. and A.). (Copyright by John F. Dille Co.) grass seed in liberal quantities has been sprinkled to settle down inta the ground with the snow. In addi- tion, grass seed also will be sown in the spring, so that the club hopes to have a heavy stand of grass by early summer.

BY SPARROW MCcGANN. EW YORK, February 17—“You never can tell, can you?". speaker was Tex Rickard, seated in his office, casting his thoughts The His idea concerning | Leithook Charley had been to have the Chicagoan take the Rocky Kansas hurdle at full gallop and then open Benny Leonard's 1923 fighting season in a spectacular effort to lift the lightweight champion’s crown. was taken very se believed he was the one man capable When he let Kansas run away withq— him he busted Rickard's promotion plans relating to the lightweight di- vision right through the middle. And it Is, of course, well known that the | two blg money classes in pugilism to- {day are the lightweights and the | heavyweights. Rickard now has Sailor Freedman in mind as one of the principals of a bulld-up bout for a lightweight champlonship battle next summer. Freedman has been doing very well lately., has made pretty much the | same sort of comeback as White had | been making up to his appearance in the Garden last’ week. ¥ be jpitted against Benny, be- T 0 he m although have to meet Kansas. Rocky never has been going better than now, and | the fact that he has victories over Tendler and White to his credit gives him a_sizeable look-in at his class, even if Benny Leonard has beaten him twice. If Freedman and Kansas do mest, the champion probably will be called upon to fight the winner. Tt Jooks to be certain that Leonard and Micky Walker, the welterweight champion, will face each other in a no-decision bout in the open air in Jersey. Leonard would have nothing particular to lose unless Micky should knock him out, which Is highly im- probable, and 1t would put him in prime condition for a real champion- ship bout in New York next July. This bout unquestionably wiil see Tendler as the contender. Tew has been having trouble with his feet, ac- cording to reports, but he will get over that. The chances are that he will not be asked to risk his prestige before meeting Leonard. It is a cinch when he faces the champion that he will hgve a big following as & result of the splendid fight he put up against the champion in the arena on Boyle's Thirty Acres last summer. Luis Firpo is due here next week, and then the heavyweight market will begin to boom. There is a lot of wise nodding of heads when the forthcoming Firpo-Brennan bout is discussed. Brennan is getting ready to retire from the ring with an ample fortune, according to a report, and man is in this mood he is not © to pay much attention to train- ing for a bout. The cards read that Firpo will take Brennan and then beat it back to the Argentine to set the deck for a fight with Jack Dempsey in Buenos Aires. Kearns has been advised that the champion can make close to a million out of this battle,’and when you talk milllons to Kearns you certainly get attention. As for Firpe's ability, he would in all likelihood prove a joke against Dempssy. Strong, viclous, he is at the same time bullheaded.

BOXERS SUPERSTITIOUS ABOUT THEIR RING TOGS Many boxers are’ superstitious in regard to some part of the clothing they wear into the ring. Kid Wagner of Pl elphin wears a checkerboard shirt with biack and white blocks over an inch square. Kid Willlams and Red Cap Wilson both have pe- cullar caps that they bave worn for yenrs. Leach Cross thought it wax unlucky to disrobe in the dressing room and always en- tered the ring wearing his tro sers, Lew Tendler packs a rab- hit's foot in the pocket of his bathrobe. When Lew met John- ny Dundee in the Garden Iast winter he almost had heart fail- ure when he found thnt his luck producer was missing. it al), and no one can convince him he doesn’t.
