HEN George Siler appeared . in the ring that September afternoon and called Joe Gans and Bat Nelson to the center for final instructions, I was a much relieved man. The fight now was a certainty, I could sit back ‘and see every blow without another ** worry about the preliminaries. I was really interested in the fight ftself as much as in the promotion. I . wanted to see every blow. Just as Gans was about to pull on his_gloves we passed up a telegram to McDonald, his manager, who in turn gave it to Joe. It was from Joe's old ‘ mother in Baltimore and the wording became "historic. One phrase of it is today a by-word in sport. It read: “Joe: The eyes of the world are on © you. Everybody says you ought to win. % Young Peter Jackson will tell me the news, and you bring home the bacon.” .. Another telegram that caused a big “laugh was from John L. Sullivan: * “Sorry I can't be at the fight. It ought o to be a corker. My regards to all, " especlally_the Sullivans.

Here is what Referee Siler said to me and to tohse near him: “1 repeatedly warned Nelson against his unfair fighting, and while I ‘don’t believe he was deliberately intent upon fouling Gans in many instances, he was unquestionably guilty of one of the most_apparent and uncalled for fouls that have marked the end of any bat- tle. ‘There is no question in my mind that he deliberately struck low, as he was making no headway against Gans.” ‘That tells the whole story.in nified, unprejudiced wayy .. ‘Then to top off his unpopularity, im- agine the final remark made by Nolan. “It was all a matter of %He betting. ‘The 1:_eleree was paid to-give it to Siter was londlv cheered, Nolan was Nimcu, Yes, that was a great fight, That one taste had started me in the game, as I will show.

Mr. Turnesa'is one of the best of the younger golf projessionals in the United _States. He finished one stroke behind Bobby Jones in the open at Scioto, and was finalist to Walter Hagen in the P. G.

Then come down with & long, full sweep, increas- ing speed until it reaches its greatest at the point of impact. It irn't necessary to add that the head should be kept down and no*body sway permitted. | There are so many fine long hitters today that it is hard to pick any cne as the best. Henry Ciuci comes as close | to perfection as ony one I know. He has splendid control. Johnny Farrell, Leo Diegel and Walter Hagen are also very fine hitters off ‘he tee. Not Size and Strength. Size and strength have nothing to do with long driving. Cluci is rather small and compact. Farrell is tall and | thin. Hagen is eround middle height, | verging a- little on bulkiness. When Cyril Walker won the open champion- ship at Oakland Hills—which was 6,880 | yards long—he weighed only 113 pounds, but he kept up with the hard- | est hitters. It's all in the timing, and not in the sheer physical power applied to_the shot. I think the greatest drive I ever saw was made by Ciuci on the fifth hole at i the La Gorce Country Club in Miami, ‘Thls hole is 375 yards long—a drive and a mashie-niblick chip for even the most thunderous hitters.

The eats part is attractive enough, but if any further incentive were needed for acceptance of the bid it could be found in the “all that goes with it,” especially with Kip Ed- wards, Cy Macdonald and Sam Ed- ‘monston officiating as umpire, head linesman and fleld judge, respec- “tively.

EL PASO, Tex., January 20 (A).— “Wild Bill" Mehlhorn held a new world golfing record today, but the cash he received for the performance, which won the El Paso open tournament was hardly more than a pittance in the pro- fessional golf world. The New York pro collected but $500 for the best 72 holes of the tournament golt ever played. He clipped 17 strckes from par to win the tournament here yesterday with the startling score of 271. Par for four trips around the 13- hole layout is 288. Melhorn never approached par in his two days of scorching play in the low money event, his poorest round being his first Saturday morning, which to- taled 70. Once he got the feel of the course, however, “Wild Bill” really settled down to his stick work and showed the South- west some golf. His afternoon round that day was done in 67, and he went to lunch yesterday with & 68 for the morning round. His final Tround was the best of all, when he sheared 6 strokes from par to turn in a 66.

ONLY THREE STAY ON REGULAR J08S Team Will Remain at Its Training Base and Do No Barnstorming. BY KENNETH E. SANDERS, (Assoclated Press Staff Writer.) LEVELAND, January 21.—The Cleveland Indians will enter the 1929 campaign non-com- mittal on their prospects, but hoping for the best from one of the most thoroughly overhauled line- ups in the American League. “We hope we have a better club than last year,” was the only comment forth- coming from Billy Evans, general man- ager of the Tribe, and he admitted that the Redskins could fare much better this” season and still not be much of an improvement over last year's seventh place outfit. Outside of the moundsmen, only the veteran Charley Jamieson in left field, Carl _Lind at second base and Luke Sewell behind the bat will be found in their customary positions as the Tribe now stacks up on paper. Gone are George Burns, George Uhle, Homer Summa and lesser lights of the Tribe of other years. Porter and Averhill Costly. The seemingly eternal hunt for a suc- cessor to Tris Speaker has resulted in the purchase of Dick Porter from Balti- more and Earl Averhill from San Fran- cisco, both slugging outfielders, who cost $45,000 each. With the sale of Summa to Philadelphia and the release of Gerkin, Langford and others, the way is paved for Porter and Averhill to patrol the outfield with Jamieson. Ollie Tucker of New Orleans, Charley Dorman, from Tyler, Tex., and John Gill, from Decatur, may help. Lind will be back at second, but an otherwise revamped infield will find Sewell shifted from short to third, Johnny Hodapp moved from third to George Uhle, is slated for short. Rookies will include First Baseman Glenn Bol- ton, from Terre Haute; Shortstop-John Burnett, a teammate of Bolton's, and Ray Gardner of New Orleans, who was the Southern Association’s leading shortstop last year. Catching Staff Unchanged. The catching department will remain the same—Luke Sewell, Myatt and utry, Hudlin, Miller, Miljus, Grant, Shaute and Underhill are holdover hurlers available to Manager Roger Peckin- paugh. He looks for further assistance from among such players as Holloway, Jimmy Zinn, who in five of the last six years has won 20 or more games & season for Kansas City in the American Association; James Moore of Little Rock, who led the Southern Association pitching last year, and Wesley Ferrell, who pitched 20 victories last year for Terre Haute, Al the newcomers are right-handers. The Indians, alone among all big league teams, will remain in their train- ing camp until they start North for the opening. Believing that a heavy prac- tice schedule takes more from the team than it adds to the treasury, the Tribe’s mentors will hold them in New Orleans until the first game. There they will meet all comers, but will do no_travel- ing. NAVY AGAIN ENTERS ANNAPOLIS, Md, January 21— Navy crews will enter the Henley and Poughkeepsie regattas, will have three races at home and will go to the Har- lem to meet Columbia. In the latter race, crews coached by the Glendons, father and son, meet. The big event at Annapolis will be and Pennsylvania on May 18. The schedule follows: April 2, Massachusetts Tech (var- sity and junior varsity), 2-mile race at Annapolis. April 27, Columbia (varsity), 2-mile race on the Harlem. May 11, Syracuse (varsity), ( varsity and probably freshmen), 2-mile race at Annapolis. | of Pennsylvania (varsity, junior varsity, freshmen and 150-pound crews), 2- | mile race at Annapolis.

GODFREY AND UZCUDUN MAY FIGHT IN HAVANA NEW YORK, January 21 (#).—A re- turn match between George Godfrey, Uzcudun, the Basque woodchopper, will be staged at Havana on*February 18, if present negotiations by the Madison sq;;?rf Garden Corporation are suc- cessful. Burtner, Leader for Bowling Prize, Was Coaxed Into Event i ARRY K. BURTNER, the Con- vention Hall team captain, leader of the Howard Campbell sweepstakes fleld, was coaxed into the affair. Hap had prac- tically deeided to pass up the chance to share in the big purse. His chances of taking first money now are good, as he assumed a 23-pin lead over Brad Mandley Saturday night. Burtner had been in a slump of sev- eral months’ duration prior to the open- ing of the sweepstakes, The night be- fore opening of the 15-game purse event, he failed to break 300 for Con- vention Hall against King Pin in a District League match. Hap was ready to admit he had no business in the sweepstakes and some of his friends had to use strong persuasion to induce him to get in line. Al Gardner and Burtner’s Convention Hall teammates are pleased to see the captain of the District League cham- pionship team returning to form. A victory for Hap in the sweepstakes would do much to restore his oldtime confidence. - Hap faces a big task next Saturday night as the final five-game block of the sweepstakes goes on the boards- at Coliseum. His chief rivals at the close of the second block—Bradley Mandley and Tony Saniini—are both partial to the Krauss-managed _establishment. Mandley, & member of Stanford Paper Co. team of District League, has rolled more 400 or better sets at the Coliseum than he has on any other drives in the city. He is always right on the Coliseum drives and & 23-pin handicap may be overcome should Hap fail to keep his pace. Santinl is but 5 pins removed from Mandley. Tony has been the big sur- prise of the sweepstakes. He followed his 624 set at Convention Hall with a 570 at King Pl No, 1. His 1,194 total is third high to date. Like Mandley, Santini considers the Coliseum as his home establishment, for he finds time for a few games each day there when his duties as a merchant in Center Market permit him. Another dark horse entrant is within reach of the big money. Oliver Pacini, who finished among the leaders in the recent Evening Star tournament, trailing in fourth place with 1,174. start, shot his way into fifth place with nl{h! with the second highest five-game set of the current sweepstakes—629. Jack Wolstenholme, who brought his total to 1,170 on Saturday night, is sixth, with a good chance to figure in the cash awards, Maxie Rosenberg, who was picked b; many to lead !h:‘ fleld on t.hnvltnnctz henomenal “success this season game shoved him into seventh place.
