Will Have Time to Fight if the Whole Allied Force Learns to Play Golf! GCeparigns. 1917, by The Pros Publishing On the New York Evening World). FOLK ts coming into ite own. Over in Europe the aviators and officers on the firing lines of We Allies have been ordered to pend one day a week, when practi. eal, playing golf. It in stated that golf unusual power. of pacifica- thon and that a few games of golf be- tween flights or bombardments will calm the most ragged nerves, Here- “ftBF) instead of being invalided home when the nerves cut capers, men will be sent back of the tines to play golf. It's considered getter to be a golf bug than a bomb Qu But what will happon when the whole fighting force of the Allies atte the game? Nobody will have ime to fight. The daily orders, in- stead of commending some hero avia- tor for flying low over the Boch ines and blowing up a couple of am- Munition trains, will mention the fact hat Lieut. Smythe mado the seven- senth hole at Arras dn 2, a 317-yard irive and a 23-foot put, and say that Xe has been recommended for the of the Iron-Putter. laity report passed by the = Aad will peng ee Uke ti Lag’ Pog! ored reat tri- ur heavy bom! iment he enemy back to « depth ile-along a front of ‘Our advancing ine Tale the ground gained linet all counter assaults, and surveyors have already laid @ut seventeen golf courses on the mound The our ma territory. thrown up by le "reported, Ca of the Slved ohne Hi ntaaore He promotion.” turned in been recommended ERE’S talk of matching Johnny Kilbane and Benny Leonard, but possibly not for a bout in dew York State.

He says he would have taken t least twice that sum in a Welsh in his home State, He thinks he same would hold good if he should 9%, Leonard, who 1s a much better rawing card, a fighter, than Velsh. Leonard made a great repu- pS the middlo west when he out Ritchie Mitchell, and is as far superior to the pres- title holder. A few days ago Kilbane said that hould he knock out Welsh he would ot try to defend the lightweight title, ecause he didn't feel that he could ive away weight to a boy like Leon- rd. He intended to retire from the ing with the two titles. Johnny has i the money he'll ever need. But no matter how much he hae faved from his ring earnings he can't verlook the fact that he can get ral thousand just now for any bout @ takes on—that is, any bout with a Fat class opponent.
