Those who draw their fame lrom tho
field of Bport grenerally tay the price.
This fame often comes swiftly, but It
Is rarely enduring and only too often
fades out as abruptly as It came.
In no other byway of life can a con
tender reach the top In audi brief space
and then be forgotten so quickly.
The Career of MoDermott
Some six years Jack McDermott was
a caddy, unknown beyond his own com
munity. Within six j ears MoDermott has
como from obscurity to tho opon golf
championship of America; has won the
title one season and defended It the
next; has proved himself to be the
greatest golfer, amateur or professional,
America ever developed, and has faded
back Into obscurity, forgotten now In a
sanatorium, where ho Is trying to re
cover his shattered nerves and badly
rocked balance.
Considerable Up nnd Sown.
In 1910 McDermott came from out a
side street In Nowhere and tied Alex
Smith for the open championship.
Ills achievement was held to be a
fluke. In 1311 he came back and beat
Smith, winning the open. In 1912 he
defended his title against the field. Ho
maintained this height over a wide
range, extending from Philadelphia to
Chicago, to Buffalo. He settled beyond
any doubt the query as to who might be
America's greatest golfer. In 1913, at
Shawnee, he proved again that American-made,
goods were the best by lead
ing Harry Vardon 13 strokes in a It
hole test, leading Ray by an even wider
margin.
Last Stand.
Here, In 1918, was a young golfer just
coming Into his own. He was then un
der 25 years of age nnd yet the proved
master of them all. He had no weak
ness with any club, a stolid tempera
ment for the game that at the same
time was mixed with bulldog tenacity
and courage. In all his life he had
neither smoked nor drank, keeping him
self In fine condition through clean life
in the open.
Certainly no entry In any game could
look to the future with greater confi
dence in tho way of increased honors
and rewards.

A MOVIE OF A
A Month Later
At Shannco the young American had
leached his greatest height. In the first
test he had outplayed Vardon and Rny
by unbelievable margin.
Yet thrco weeks later, at Brookllne,
where he had hoped to lead the charge
against the Brltiih invaders, he was
practically a wreck. For after Shawnee
Fate turned against him with n fist of
Iron. Outspoken criticism against his
Shawnee speech, born more from ig
norance than studied Incivility, cut
deeply into his pride. There was goi
slp of a lovo affair that went wrong
nnd possibly other troubles, tho combi
nation driving him into a moody, ner
vous wreck.
At Brookllne, three weeks later, tho
old McDermott had started out. He
felt that every one was against him
that he was an outcast, nnd that oven
if he won, his victory would be un
popular. Nervous Wreck
Since that tlmo McDermott has neter
been himself. His entire nervous sys
tem, once a marvel of perfect co-ordination,
has gone entirely to smash.
Last summer he left America, to en
ter the English championship, and ar
rived too late to even qualify. Later
on he failed to try for the American
title. And his absence got a bare line
here and there from those who sud
denly remembered that McDermott had
once been the king of American golf

COUrJTS HIS CHfVtJgS
MAN WHO HAS BEEN OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE
KILBANE-IILLIAMS
BOUT DELAYED BY
WEIGHT, NOT MONEY
Contest Will Not Be Staged
Unless Managers Can
Reach Agreement on
Avoirdupois Question
Klllier Sammy Harris or .Jimmy Dunn
will hao to "give In" If Philadelphia Is
to go down In pugilistic history its the
only cltj that staged a bout between two
champions of dlffeient classes. It Is not
a difference of money, as many fans be
itete, thnl ii delaying tho principals from
drawing tip a definite agreement for the
match In question Kid AVIIIIams vs.
Johnny Kllbane but, on the other hand.
It Is a matter of weight.
As In the "Merchant of Venice," the
respective managers of the tltleholders
nre wrangling over a pound or more of
flesh. Harris demands that Kllbane
should weigh In at 122 pounds half an
hour before tho boxers step Into the ring.
Dunn Insists that Han Is has no grounds
whatever to dictate to the featherweight
king, and ho desires his protege to tip
the scales at tho mentioned weight at 8
o'clock on tho night of the fight.
Promoter Jack McQulgan, who was as
sured of the bout by both Harris and
Dunn, stntcs that unless tho former al
lows Kllbane to weigh In nt the desired
Heine, the battle, the most talked-ot fight
here for many yeais, wilt never be
fought.
The National A. C. matchmaker conversed
with th "wis men" of Williams and Kllfcan
over tha long dlstanco telephone yesterday
afternoon, anil after a long talk neither would
viva un Inch. Mcclulgan announced this morn
ing that he will rnueuvor to bring both men
together In a conference next week for a final
conlab and If they do not agree he will not
worry about staging the encounter.
McQulgan quoted Dunn as staling ater the
telephone tho following:
"Why should I allow Harris to dictate, to
me when Johnny has nothing to ealn and all
to loser If Kllbane knocks out Vtllllams th
lialtlmore boy will still be the bantamweight
champion, However, even though the right
Hill be a six-round no-declslon affair, Williams
wilt fall Into the feathoruolsbt championship
should he atop Johnn).
"As to the bout, If Harris agree to my
terms. I have already decided at which club
th fight will be staged. There la no cnauce
of a .Snw Vork club getting the match. As I
said before, there is no wrangle from a finan
cial end. It Is th weight question, and as far
aa Kllbane Is concerned there will ba no
Wllllanu. Kllbane encounter unless 1 am the
person who does the dictating "

ON THE
SEA OF
spo;
Nobody Knows But the Judge
Theie Is ease In Landls' manner; there's
smile on Landls' face, ,,
.inci they say he whirls a penpolnt iclth
a most decisive grace;
And perhaps, when he's decided on this
Fed and Major bout,
There'll be reason for some bard to
write: "B. Johnson has struck out."
Following Us Again
Governor Whitman, of New York,
may appoint n one-man Boxing Com
mission, according to the dispatches.
He's probably been Impressed by the
showing of Director Porter In thfa city,
the Director, ns you prpbably know, be
ing the commission here, even If he
doesn't hold that title.
It Shouldn't Count
A few hours after committing matil
mony last week Jack Keating shaded
Tim Logan In a naval battle nt tho
National. Jack was inspired. Tim
should demand a return match.
The Oversight
The rule to cut down rcsubatitutlon
In football is timely. Some of the Tenn
games last season were turned into pur
suit races, with almost a continuous
line of players from tho bench to the
field and back again. The plan to num
ber players, optional last year, Is also a
good one. But the Rules Committee
forgot to take action, apparently, on
Harvard's individual drinking cups.
Certainly
The youngsters jump from league to
league,
The air is filled iclfi deep intrigue;
But Wagner's feeling like a coif.
So let 'em bolt.
Worth Seeing
Meadowbrook's meet this year, to be
held March 13, promises to eclipse the
five preceding it. This club keeps forg
ing ahead.
O, Shed a Tear
A day less than three weeks and La
joie will be larruping for the Macks and
the experts will be telling all about his
batting eye and Eddie Collins will be
elsewhere.

TTfceie the magnates yelp for lawyets
And the players howl for dough.
Give us back the breatJi of April
And the game wc used to know.
Give us back the breath of April
M'here the wallop leaves the stick;
"Where the pop Is on the gurgle
And the peanut hulls are thick;
Where a Collins, Cobb or Bpeaker
Takes an inshoat for a ride,
And the echoes leap to meet htm
With a "Slide you lobster-r
s-l-l-d-e"
Gifr us back the breath of April
And the glory of the game
Give us back the crashing double
And the fielder's sprint for fame;
Where the fumigating's over,
As the court scenes reach a close.
And it Isn't necessary
X-or a guy to hold his nose.

He Kept on Stalling
A manager and a bad fighter were
dead broke when tho manager finally
landed a match for his man In a little
town near New York. The fighter
wasn't properly trained and was put
ting up a miserable exhibition, running
away most of tho time.
The crowd hissed and booed, but the
bad fighter didn't change his tactics.
Finally some spectator, who could
stand the show no longer, took off a
shoe nnd hurled it into the ring, hitting
the bad fighter on the back. The bad
fighter, frightened now, turned nnd
started whaling away at his opponent.
"Don't. Bill, don't," yelled the mana.
ger, "Keep on stallln' fer tho lova
Mike! Maybe we'll get the other
shoe!"

The spring athletic campaign In lhr
major sports at the University of Penn
sylvania really begins today. In tiack
athletics, rowing and baseball, the can.
dldatcs, with their minds freed from the
anxieties of ths mid-year examination?,
emerge from the desultory period of pr.
Ilmlnary work to the serious business of
trying to mnks their varsity teams.
Track sports hold the attention of the
blggsst body of the students, for there
are now nearly 2S0 men trying fof this
team. Within the next two weeks the
candidates should pass the 000 mark And
create a new record for numbers at
least. At the same time the ttack sit
uation la serious. No Pennsylvania team
ever felt a defeat more keenly than last
year's loss of the Intercollegiate trophy
which Cornell won. The Quakers realize
that Cornell will again be their strongest
opponent and Coach Orton unci the
Track Committee have planned the most
extensive nnd careful campaign lo the
end that they may have the honor of
Inscribing the name of Pennsylvania first
on the new trophy cup.
For the first time In a good many years
fortune smiles on Pennsylvania's oars
men, Last year "Vivian Nlckalla was the
miracle worker of the Poughkeepsle
coaches, and hie men finished Just a
length back of Columbia for first plice.
Of that crew the Quakers have lost only
two men. They are ex-Captain "Watrous
and Blatz. Not only are all the other
members of that splendid eight again try
ing for the crew, but two other men last
spring through illness are among the
candidates and will bo very hard to dis
lodge from varsity berths. They are Shoe
maker and Littleton, both former strokes,
who were lost through Illness.. It's a
question whether Coach Nlckalls will Ul
timately decide to substitute either rnan
for Marcy at stroke, but If not both can
be used In other seats.
It takes supreme optimism to see any
thing bordering on a championship team
In the baseball squad. Five of Inst year's
first string men have been lost through
graduation, Including the star battery,
Sayre and Schwort. one of the best any
college ever had. The other men missing
are Minds from centre field, Hnlcv from
right field and 'Williams from third base.
This leaves of last year's regulars Cap
tain Wallace at first base, Mann at aeo
ond, Bchlmpf at short stop and Irwin in
left field. There Is some fairly good ma
terial from tho freshman class, but no
first-class pitchers.
PENN CREWS MUST BE
ALL-ROUND ATHLETES
Red and Bluo Oarsmen Will Be
Swimmers and Runners.
By the terms of a new oider Issued
this afternoon, any man who makes the
University of Pennsylvania crews must
be not only an oarsman, but a swimmer
and a middle distance runner as well
The order that the men should flrst learn
to swim and receive certificates from thi
swlmmlpg Instructor, George Klatler, was
announced last fall. But today Coach
Vivian Nlckalls announced that every
oarsman before being credited with hav
ing reported for practice must run at
least half a mile on tho outdoor track or
beneath the covered stand.
This Is another of Nlckalls' EngllBh
Ideas for the dovelopraent of his crews.
He believes that distance running Is the
best way to develop endurnri.ee, and an
nounces that the men must foll6w thli
regime every day. Nlckalls Is a coach
who practices what he preaches, for eery
day he may be seen Hmnlng around the
board track, and he .usually goes further
than his candidates. Another Pennsyl
vania coach who runs with his men is
Gcorp;o w. Orton, the Instructor or the
track team.
The new order for the composition of
the first three crews will not go Into
effect In full until tomorrow.
