P THE EVENING WORLD, T EST | iw _ a Benny Kauff, Who Has Always’ Loved a Good Scrap, May De-| cide to Go “Over There” to Fight, Despite His Flat Feet. | Onorrght, 1918, by The Prewe Pabii@ing Co, bt New York Evening World.) XNNY KAUFF says that he hasn't any idea of dodging the fighting lMnes in France, and that he'd like to go over anyhow, just for the fun of it. Kauff always was a scrappy fel- low. He never misses a good boxing match when within reach of the ringside, and he likes to put the Sloves on himself. Ever since Benny! Leonard began to win tights Benny Mfeutt has been one of his greatest fans. Kauff picked Leonard to whip | Freddy Welsh and win the light~ Weight championship. He was will- ing to back his judgment, too. In- lentally, Benny might have become & great fiehter himself if he hadn't| Picked another game. Benny Kauft may have flat feet, but nobody ever accused him of hav- | ing a flat tire. HERB will be some good fight- ing within easy reach of New York next week. Monday night in New Haven Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson are to fight fif- teen rounds, to a decision, at the Riverside A. C. Manager Vincent Riene intends to hold several other first class fights | this spring. Fifteen rounds may not be the limit, but whether they go fife nor twenty there will be a dev s.on in every contest staged. It looks like old times. HB Marty McCue Boxing Bill may be reported out of the Judiciary Committee in the Btate Assembly to-day. McCue has ‘made a good fight for his bill, al- ‘though he is up against the stubborn ‘opposition of Gov. Whitman, who seems still to be opposed to bext: in spite of its great popularity ani the spread of boxing throughout the mps and among our future ‘FT is said in Albany that the Gover- nor, even if he discontinues bis one-man opposition and decides that it Is about time to put boxing back where it belongs, will not be willing to let the credit for that ac- Uon go to the Democratic side of the “Legisiature. If s0, some Republican undoubtedly is already drawing up @ boxing bill, But, even in this ca: Marty McCue will deserve the credit, for his bill and his long fight for boxing have been of great use in Fesurrecting an issue that its oppo- ments fondly hoped was dead.

ATT KIBRNAN, whose ac- quaintanceship in. the golf world runs in the thousands, made a five weeks’ tour of Southern courses and brings back word that the new links at St. Augustine are the finest in the Sunny South. Matt vis- ited Pinehurst, Aiken, Camden, Savan- nah, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Augusta, Ormonde, Sea Breeze and New Or- leans, and he was most impressed with the jayout at St. Augustine. “The course at St, Augustine is simply wonderful,” said Kiernan to- day, “All the greens are covered with fine turf, so rare in the South, and the club officials have hit on a scheme of keeping worms off the greens, The holes are especially de- signed for long hitters. The course measures nearly 6,500 yards, but this distance can be increased by playing different tees that are at various lengths and angles on nearly every hole, The fairways are great and the course is so laid out that there's need for every club to be brought into use.

Plunkett in Bril- liant Style. N the national pocket billiards championship tou: ney at the New York A. C. last night, J. Howard Shoemaker bowled over one of his most formidable opponents, Thomas A. Plunkett, 125 balls to 78, Through- out the sixteen frames it was a splendid tilt of wits and execution. Shoemaker, the four times cham- pion, successfully evaded the efforts of his opponent at safety, He had an eagle's eye for the combinations, picking them out of the bunch like berries from among the brambles. Helped out by clearing the table on the seventh and eighth frames, Shoe- maker counted the high record run of | the tournament with 31 balls. His other top runs were 21 and Plunkett got with a new-fangled one-handed putt which he describes asx being “abso- lutely infallible for putts within twenty inches of the cup.” There's no Umit toe the number of golf weapons, practically ail of the old boys tn ac- tion, The only ones now missing are Amando Marsans, who, on account of his winter baseball campaign in Cuba, will not have to show up here| Ull just before the team starts North; | Eddie Plank, who hag not yet decided | he will play this season, and Wilson Fewster, the Baltimore rookle, who} has been {Il with the grip.

Munoz, of the Amateur Billiard Club of New York. It was a bitter bat- tle of sixteen frames, the final tally standing 125 balls to 105, So ably did Plunkett play in his match against Wickers that he collected @ total of 49 balls for the first four frames, During that period he never left his opponent a shot of any promise, so that for the period the total for Wickers was 5. Plunkett cleverly con- trolied the cue ball for position and worked out his combinations so ably ay to cause his adversary to resemble a fity trailing a twin-six motor, Wickers in his desperation overplayed himself in the tenth frame. In attempt- ing to check Plunkett he made three consecutive scratches to forfelt the en- tire frame ta the Elks champion, Plun- kett always played conservatively.
