Colf Defended as Ball Players’ Game : Tennis Tempest Not Likely to Be Stirred HELD CONDITIONER BY SPKE SHANNON Says Diamond Pros Should Spend Much Off-Season Time on Links. BY GEORGE A. BARTON, INNEAPOLIS, July 27—“If somebody had told me 20 years ago that some day | would be hiking over the | field flogging the daylights out of a little white ball I would have knocked 'em off by saying they had gone daffy, yet here I am at the age of 50 getting just as big a Kick out of playing golf as I ever did out of professional base ball and college foot ball.” The speaker was a husky individual, | whose tanned and heavily-lined f and keen, penetrating eyes convinced u that you were talking to a man starred in athleties. His -r Shannon, mors ©s “Spike’ the days when h> was a noted out- fi2lder and slugger of the Naticnal League, after firsi gaining fame in ihe American Association, whence he was graduated to the big show. PIKE, over a period of more than 30 years, has led the strenuous career of college foot ball player, major and minor league base ball player and, more 1ecently, that of an umpire in the American Association, Pacific Coast League, Southern Association snd Western League. Spike has just as many freckles as ever, but his hair, once brick red, is now sprinkled with gray, thinner than when he was chasing fly balls for the Giants at the old Polo Grounds. Asked whether he thought golf af- fected bes: ball players' batting, as charged by various club owners and managers, Shannon Teplied: “I think golf is a fine thing for base ball play- ers and helps rather than harms their batting. Driving a golf ball calls for the same balance, rhythm and eye that batting demands in base ball. “From what I have been told by base ball club owners and managers, they have no objection to golf, except that many of their players become leg-weary from playing anywhere from 18 to 36 rounds in the morning and then show- ing up at the park in the afterncon so tired that they are unable to give their best efforts to the team. ¢ OLF is an excellent conditioner and every ball player should put in a lot of time on the links during the off season in base ball in order to keep in condition. Trouble with many ball players is they loaf from October until March, take on a lot of weight and get so softened up that it is difficult for them to get into condi- tion for base ball in the Spring. “I agree with the club owners and mlingers that the players should re- frafh from playing golf during the reg- ular season except when the clubs have open dates, but I believe every ball player would find golf a splendid way o keep in trim during the off season.” Spike Shannon has had a colorful career. He was born at Clarksburg, Pa., February 7, 1880, and after attending gnde and high school there, finished is education at a small college. He played fullback on the foot ball team and roamed the outfield on the base ball team. “I really like foot bali better than base ball despite the fact that I suf- fered two broken legs, four broken ribs | and the fact that I broke both legs, | four ribs iron,” Shannon asserted with typical grin. +T GUESS I got a big kick out of d two fingers on the grid- his foot ball because it was rougher | than base ball, although profes- sional ball was far from being a tame sport during the years that I played with the New York Giants and St. Louis | Cardinals. There were lots of tough guys in base ball those days and a fel- low had to know how to take care of himself on the field, and quite fre- quently off it. “Boy, I was with a wow of a ball team ‘when I met up with John McGraw and his Giants. A great club and a great manager. From McGraw down they were smaft, aggressive and hustlers. That gang regarded opposing players as enemies and never spoke to them ex- cept to cuss ’em. Playing in the outfield | with me were Mike Donlin and Cy Seymour. “The infield was made up of Fred Tenney, first base; Larry Doyle, second base; Al Bridwell, shortstop, and Hank Devlin, third base. The pitchers were Christy Mathewson, Joe McGinnity, Hooks Wiltse, Charley Ferguson, Dummy Taylor and Red Ames. Roger Bresnahan and Frank Bowerman were the catchers. SVPTVHAT was a team of tough guys, but the toughest of them all was Bowerman. He could whip his ‘weight in wildcats, and was by far the best rough-and-tumble fighter in the major leagues. Frank was a graduate of the University of Michigan, but you'd never suspect him of being collegian if you ever saw him in a brawl. He used to keep in shape for base ball by work- ing in logging camps in the Winter. “Never in all my base ball career did I ever see such bitter feeling as umtl during | ' Shadows of the Past BY L C. BRENNER. HE “Orchid Kid” is what he was known when as the leading light heavyweizht and heavy- welght of Europe he was the idol of Gay Paree, and the “Orchid Kid" he is billed when he appears on the Orpheum circuit in a vaudeville sketch in which he has as his part- ner the beautiful Lita Grey, former wife of Charlie Chapman. In fight circles he is known as Georges Car- pentier, the man who engaged Jack Dempsey in the first million-dollar gate at Boyle’s Thirty Acres on July 2. 1921, and was knocked out in the Tourth round. Handsome, Gorgeous Gecrges was one of the niftiest, cleverest boxers ever developed abroad. and to this GEORGES CARPENTIER. day his nimbleness is one of the attractions that make of him a drawing card in his vaudeville tour. Tall and lithe in appearance, any- thing but that of a fighter, Carpen- tier is the idol of the matinee fans wherever he appears. In the movies he is equally popular because of his splendid build and the ease with which he acts. Early in his youth he was taught the science of self-defense by Fran- cois Deschamps, with whom he trav- eled through France with an acro- batic_troupe, and so skillful a boxer did Georges become that he joined the ranks of professionels when he was only 12 years old. He is the only fighter in modern ring history who went through all classes and ld every championship of Europe 'om flyweight to heavyweight. 1If Georges had carried more weight he would have been one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. ‘Weight, alone, caused his downfall. As it is, he cleaned up most of the stars of jis division before he fell before the prowess of the mighty Jack Dempsey. THE SPO BY GRANT! OS ANGELES, Calif, July 26.— More than 40 nations and close upon 2,000 of the world's picked athletes now face the last week of training for the greatest of all Olym- | pic shows. The curtain lifts on Saturday with the opening day march and on Sunday the competition opens, featuring the 10,000-meter run. This will be a week of interesting developments all along the line. What | about Nurmi, for example? Will he be | allowed to run? If he is reinstated or approved, what about the strained liga- ment in his foot, where an Achilles’ tendon blew up some time ago? | “Nurmi can run and win without any | feet,” a leading German expert re- | marked. And there is a better chance | | now fer the flying Finn's entry to be accepted than there was 10 days ago. Nurmi has been limping and favoring his sore foot ever since he arrived, but even if he has only one leg he will b2 favored in his two big races—the 10,- | 000 and the marathon. NOTHER feature this week will be the final bid of United States track and field coaches to have the team on edge after the massive flops of 1924 and 1928. One would think that with Metcalfe, Tolan and Simpson for the 100 and 200 meters, with Carr and Eastman for | the 400 meters, the United States would | | be fairly safe up to the middle distance | Tuns. Yet foreign experts who have been which existed between the Giants and | &round for 20 years believe the United | Cubs. It required bravery to play the infield when those teams met because the runners always went into the bases riding on their shoulder blades with their spikes high in the air. “The spectators were just as hostile as the players and aided the home team by throwing bottles and stones at the visiting players. The fans waited after the games and threw things at us as we loaded into the bus for the trip back to the hotel from the park. S*T)LAYERS frequently were seriously hurt by the missiles fired at them, so the club owners voted at & meeting in 1909 to build dressing rooms for the players at the park, thereby discontinuing the old practice of dressing at the hotel and riding to States will have a carload of trouble on the track outside of the 200-meter | test, where Metcalfe, the colored cata- | | pulf, is conceded a big edge. They give | us only a fair chance at the 100 meters |and less than a fair chance at the | 400-meter whirl, in spite of all the nice things that have been written about Carr and Eastman. OST of the outside experts pick Rampling of Great Britain for | | the 400 meters, Hampson of Great | Britain at 800 meters and Lovelock | | and Thomas over the 1,500-meter path. | Those who have seen these men run believe any one of them can travel | close to world record time. And world | record time after the strain and the | trial heats of an Olympic test will be | FVENTS WELLFILLED FORSPEED REGATTA Pilots for Washington, Balti- more and Other Places to Race at Herald Harbor. | Speedboat pilots from Washington, Baltimore and various other points will | vie for cash and other prizes in Lhe{ | Afth annual Tri-City Regatta Satur-| day and Sunday on the Severn River | | at Herald Harbor, Md., under auspices | of the Chesapeake and Potomac Power | Boat Association.

Examine this close-up sketch of the forearms and hands of Macdon- ald Smith at the top of a swing with an iron. The position of the arms has put the right wrist more under the shaft than the left. The cocked right hand practically forms a per- pendicular, and therefore firm. sup- port for the club. The left hand, which is pretty well in line with the extended left arm, because the left wrist is not so sharply broken, is free to putt the club into the down- SWing. If the right wrist is not kept under the shaft the clubhead is apt to be- g'u]ll its downward journey errati- cally. “I'm helpless when it comes to long iron shots.” How many times have you heard this?

BIG AING HOPEFULS SCRAMBLE TONIGHT Retzlaff and Gastanaga Face in Fight That May Mean Oblivion for Loser. BY ALFRED DAYTON. EW YORK, July 27.—The heavy: weight scramble continues at Ebbets Field tonight, with Pro- moter Humbert Fugazy offer- | ing the second bout of his particular | elimination series. Last week he pitted Primo Carnera against Jack Gross and tonight he will toss in Charley Retz- 1aff and Izzy Gastanaga with the pro- viso that the winner will secure & | match with the vast Venetian later in the season. With this prize at stake, it is hard- ly likely that there will be much stall- ing, and with Retzlaff and Gastanaga | in there throwing plenty of punches, there should be few dull spots. In- deed, as both are good punchers, there | is & strong chance of a knockout, pro- vided one or the other isn't too cau- tious. They will be fighting for more than the match with Carnera. The defeated | one no longer will receive serious con- sideration in the heavyweight ranks, | and with plenty of work ahead for the | big fellows none of them is eager to be | rated among the also-rans. This will mark Gastanaga’s second appearance in this country. In his de- but here in June he whipped Hans Birkie in a 10-rounder and although | victorious and impressive Gastanaga was far from satisfied with his showing. He could not get started until the fifth round, but after that he did very nicely. BAN IS WITHDRAWN FROM BOXING TWINS Perlicks Will Shéw on Chicago Card—Mullen Ruled Out as Matchmaker. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, July 27.—The fighting Perlick twins of Kalamazoo, Mich., will fulfill their fistic engagements at the West Side Boxing Arena tomor- row night after all. Under suspension in New Jersey, they were reinstated by Gen. John V. Clin- chairman of the Illinols $tate Athletic Commission, today after his flare-up with James Mullen, matchmaker for the club. Mullen, meanwhile, has been relieved of his duties, because Gen. Clinnin said he was still under sus- | pension due to failure to meet previous obligations. Henry Perlick will meet Barney Ross, Chicago lightweight, in 10 rounds, while his brother, Herman, will engage Harry Dublinsky, also a Chicago 135-pounder, 12 another 10-rounder.

A when Mickey Walker and Jackie (Kid) Berg failed to appear, but a | count of the receipts for the benefit boxing show today revealed the fans had retaliated in some measure by con- tributing only $1,600 and a few odd dimes, nickels and cents.

Stan OR the third time in 10 weeks Benny Schwartz will reign a favorite over Billy Landers at the Twin City fistic show to- | night. Most of the so-called experts have disregarded Schdartz's two pre- vious defeats at the hands of Landers and are giving the edge to the cleverer bantam from Baltimore, Schwartz was a favorite with yours truly in the first two fights with Lan- ders, but tonight the blond Norfolk battier should rate no less than an even chance. Regardless of the doubt which shrouded the two previous de- cisions, Landers at least was good enough to create that doubt and to- night he may have two additional breaks in his favor—the advantage of a possible complex Schwartz may un- consciously feel and two extra rounds in_which to complete his noted late rallies. pSYCHOIOGY may not enter into likely than not. Schwartz, who really rates higher than Landers in the bantam ranks, has fought and licked better battlers than the aggressive Virginian. But in both bouts with the crude-boxing, but hard-hitting Landers he lost the nod. In both previous fights with Schwartz Landers earned the edge by late ral- | lies. Both fights were eight-rounders. Tonight's will be 10 or- less—more likely 10. A referee who has not been connected with either of the two previous de- | cisions_will be selected as the fighters enter the ring. He may be another, but | Charley Baum, Baltimore; Buck Alex- | ander,” Baltimore, and Pete Macluso, Annapolis, appear the most likely | choices. The judges will be newspaper men. ILLY STRICKLER, local light- | ID heavyweight, engages a newcomer to these parts, Rex King, in the eight-round semi-final, while in a spe- clal six-rounder Nick Antonelli and Sammy Romano, both of Washington, will oppose. The best preliminary appears to be the Roy Manley-Johnny Mays bout. | Mays, recently of the Pacific Coast, is | making his home here and under the management of Buck Grier hopes to go far. Another four-rounder features Scldier Clark and George Esrick. REDDY GROBMIER and Jim Mc- Millan clash tomorrow in Griffith Stadium in what appears to be one of the most evently matched wrest- ling tussels of the year. McMillan in the last three years has been vice pres- ident to Jim Londos and until recently he ranked higher than Grobmier. However, the former Illinois grid star severely injured a shoulder and was laid up in a_ hospital for some weeks. Al- though he has been active for the last month, Promoter Joe Turner asserts he’s not at top form yet and in late matches has been forced to go easy on his flying tackle, rated the best in the game. Only two wrestlers have escaped from | Grobmier's hook scissors here—Londos and Gino Garibaldi. Turner is frank in stating Londos is due here for an appearance shortly, the fight at all. But it is more | | but has not decided who he will op- | | pose. Recently the local promoter con- | ducted his_“elimination tourney” in | which four hefties—Rudy Dusek, Gari- baldi, McMillan and Grobmier—were entered.

S. L. T. A. Stipulates Only Cost of Travel, Reason- able Maintenance. BY LAWRENCE PCRRY. CABRIGHT, N. J, July 27— Action of the Canada Lawn Tennis Association in de- clining to accept three prominent American players in the national tournament now in progress at Ottawa, a very strong letter from President Newton of the Southern Association depre- cating the attitude of Clifford Sutter of Louisiana and Bryan Grant of Georgia, and an impend- ing conference of officials of the Eastern Association comprise the aftebmath of the refusal of 13 leading players to compete in the current Seabright tournament. What will come of all this, if any~ thing, may not be said. So far as the national association is concerned, the | feeling is that it has no part in the ine | cident. | Covering the question of hospitality ||nd traveling expenses, the U. 8. L. T, | A. code contains a rule holding that & club may pay a player’s traveling ex- penses and extend reasonable main- tenance. It does not definitely stipulate that a club shall do this. | So the feeling of the U. S. L. T. A. Is |#) that Seabright has a perfect right | to make its own conditions con- | cerning the entertainment of players, | and that the players, on their part, have | an equal right to accept or to decline | as they see fit. In other words, nothing | warranting official action, or even offi- | cial notice, is involved in the Seabright | situation—so far, at least, as the na= | tional authorities are concerned. One gathers the idea that Seabright would have been pleased had the play- ers seen fit to discuss the question of hospitality with the club instead of rushing the matter into the newspapers, from which source the sponsors of the | current Seabright tournament received lhedr first intimation that all was mot well, And inasmuch as some of the players whose names appeared among the 13 men who withdrew are members of families of means, and are well able to pay their way if necessary, it is believed their action was hasty and uncon- sidered. In other words, the idea is that more than one of the group were swayed, as youth is likely to be, by per- suasive tongues. T all events, so far as Seabright is concerned the thing has been dropped, and if anything relating to it comes up in the councils of the Eastern association it will in all prob- ability have to do with political -mch} such, for instance, as the attitude of one club toward another at times when a united front would better conserve the interests of the sport. ‘The writer learns that no representa- | tion of any sort was made to Canada | concerning the Seabright case. The se- tion of the Canadian authorities in turning down several players whose names appeared in the Seabright mani- | festo originated in Ottawa, and was | brought about not only as a of good feeling toward Seabright, but a tacit admission that Canada has had her problems concerning players. Which, as a fact, she has had and still has. One thing strikes any visitor to the | tourney at Seabright this week, and it is that the chief loss is incu: not by the club, but by the players who de- clined the opportunity to play the game they love in an environment lovely as a. dream and where tennis is a tradition reaching toward half a century.

It is from Frankie himself and he says: “I have read with interest your tennis story about myself and Mr. Beasley.
