Roberts to the floor, The fireman jumped to his foet and sailed in again Tunney, who ing terrific punishment to the gamo Staten Islander. Tunney was too clever for Roberts and it was simply a question of time when Roberts would succumb. Gene evaded the lunging, phinging Rob- erts with comparative ease and be- fore Ai could get out of the way yooked him with solid rights and lefts well distributed about the body and head. Occasionally Roberts caught Gene with swings to the head, but they were ineffective.

BEST SP oe THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 192 ORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK { GENE TONNEY j WHO ADLER ANOTHER SCALP FO HIS CoLLEcTion BY KNOCKING OUT Aw ROBERTS LAST > Nour AAT NEWARK LAST NIGHT Copyright, 1920, by The Pr No Increase in Prices Balls This Year Of Golf Clubs Will Sef at About Last | Season’s Scale, Manufac- ‘turer Announces, By William Abbott. Four rousing cheers! Prices of golf equipment, accérding | to a statement made by a prominent manufacturer to-day, will not be | raised for the 1920 seasons The cost of best grade golf balls will remain the same. One foreign maker has even reduced one of its models 16 cents a ball. ‘ There will hardly bbe any increase in the price of golf clubs, Drivers will fetch from $ to which is about the same scale as last season. Some lines of iron chubs will be slightly raised, due mostly to the great scarcity of hickory which is used in shafts of the best models. The present scarcity of hickory in this country is proving a ig problem for club manufacturer ‘o-remedy this situation agents tave ‘been sent abroad to search foreign markets, especially Germany, where | large supplies of the precious wood | have been reported, While “specialty” clubs will cost a little more because of high grade hickory used and su- perior workmanship the majority of irons will not go up In price. While his implements will not be more expensive, Mister Golfer witl Nave his bankroll nicked in another direction—his club membership, It is going to cost more ths year than ever before to enjoy club privileges. Hye up considerably during the eight OR the benefit of those who are! wondering what has happened , to the proposed legislation on | vexing in New York State, wo are able to say, more or jess officially, ! + that it wil be two or three weeks | before the matter will be taken up at | Albany. The trial of the Socialists has so gummed up things at the) Capital that little else has had a ¢hance of consideration. ‘The bili to restore the sport, intro- duced in the Senate by James J. Walker, the Temocratic floor jeader, is in commttee now, but before it will be acted upon several changes are likely to be made in its original drwughting, Fer instance, the clause providing for a license committee of three, aside from the Boxing Com- mission itself, to issue permits to promoters and clubs and pass mpplications for the same may be eliminated entirely, Already th has been some criticism of this pro- on| York Bowlng Association and ‘The advent of Prohibition was like a Knockout blow to golf club treasuries, Deprived of the handsome revenue from the old nineteenth hole, clubs were forced to make pp this loss, and the only possible remedy wae an in: | favorably , authorit crease of club dues. Where clubs didn’t increase dues they issued bands, but whatever the panacea for & depleted treasury club members must stand a higher tariff. With everything considered, how- ever, the old game of golf compares with other sports in the matter of high prices. Alex Pirie, Secretary of the Profes- sional Golfers’ Association, takes the standpoint that there is no need of grading professionals into classes in order to insure better conditions for the paid insaructors, A competent pro can come pretty near getting what he's entitled to in this country, ac- cording to Alex, who thoroughly un- derstands conditions surrounding the profeasional end of the sport, both here and in England. James Crossan and John Whitehead are meeting with unusual success with their indoor golf school on Lafayette Avenue, over in Brooklyn. If the City of Churches also becomes one of expert club swingers it will be due mostly to the skill of these two efficient instructers whose pupils so numerous that they ¢an't even dream of keeping union hours these days. Peter Lees, a veteran golf and turf , thinks so much of Walter Hagen's ability on the links that he's written his old friends, Vardon, Braid and Taylor to watch out when the young American title holder invades England in the spring for the English open championship. It is Lees's opin- fon that Hagen will come near win- ning the British grown, but that he won't be able to get his usual great distance on English links because of heavy, damp English weather which has a marked tendency to shorten the fight of golf balls, Old Peter is con- vinced that Hagen is the best equip- ped of all American stars that ever Went in quest of English titles, ( Bowling Strikes utx and Spares ) The stars, fans and near stars were out in force at the big prize bowling wontest staged by “Tack” at the White Biephant Bowling Academy, and from 2 o'clock in the afternoon tll midnight, alleys numbers one, two, three, four and five were kept busy by the Eastern Individuel Cham- pionship cracks and the best bowlers that the United Bowling Clubs, New the | wastern Alley Owners’ Association | had to offer, When the contest ended vigion on the ground that a com- mission that couldn't take care of that subject would indeed be a smail potatoes affair, Still at the same time a license committee, composed of say, members of tue Army, Navy and Civilian Board Boxing Control might prove a good thing for the sport, a8 an uplifting and controlling bedy. It is a debatable question. The length of the bouts should be, according to the Walker bill, fifteen xounds, but no great objection would arise if a compromise on twelve is effected. Some students of the game point out that no matter how long the bouts are there would be som stalling by the bo xcrs. ‘They would “lay up” five rounds, ut the begin- ming, in the midulc end of @ conflict. We doubt for, the Stalling would be costly with a com- petent referee in tho ring. NE critic of the Walker bill is O under the impression that the fifteen round clause means that all contests would be of that duration. Nothing like it. Instead, it means tat no bout shall be longer, rules and regulations of the measure Jleay- ing it up to th’ commission to decide which should be fit and which should be limited to.any number of rounds under that. It is foolish to agsume thet where four contests. are » the programme, all would be fifteen rounds. it was found that Lee R.

Complaints were ggryed in these HE three “mystery” suits which actions, which may be summarized as follows: —Johnson is personally sued for 1 $500,000 for endeavoring to drive the Yankee owners “out of baseball” and for influencing the owners of the New York Giants to refuse per mission foy the Yankees to continue ying on the Polo Grounds after 1920 season. —Restraining Johnson from pay- ing any moneys to himself as President, under a salary of $30,000, or to the Secretary and ‘Treasurer of the league on the ground that he as not been legally elected.

The fighting Colonels are ; Mr. Johnson states concerning Col. Ruy going througn with the battla @ the bitter end. In the fist suit against Ban per+ sonally for $500,000, the damages are asked on the ground that Johnson con ceived the idea of driving the Yankee owners out of baseball, and to this end did various acts injurious to the New York Club, inciuing the suspension of ays, the making of erroneous states ments, which influenced the Giants to refuse permiasion to the Yankees to use the Polo Grounds after tie year 1920, and the making public of plans which the New York Club had for a new sit which prevented {ts acquisition on ad- Vantageous terme ‘The complaint sets forth the letter of Jolinson to his five “loyal” clubs, dated 6, 1919, which was written by him ly after the Mays controversy frose and. after it had become evident that the New York Club would the order of suspension which he bad t ‘sued.
