morning of May 20, following the greatest
pugilistic upset In years, when Benny Leon
ard redeemed the llghtu eight crown for the
good old t". S A. from the clutches of Fred
Welsh. But before the bout Hotel Klrk
brlde was recommended to those very, very
few predicting the obliteration from the fis

you remember, G tn 2 wero tho pre ailing
odds that the probable result would not
be by a kayo, with the American doing tho
knocking out. Also, If you remember,
these odds went starving; that's how sure
most of the wiseacres, smart guys and Inside

about to be crowned.
Conditions nre precisely the same for the

THRBR Is no word to describe the suc
cess of the Intercity Junior match held
on the courts of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club on Saturday While New York won
the meeting five matches tn four. It would
have required only a punch by nodney
Beck on any one of six separate occasions
to have given the victory to the Philadel
phia team by the same margin Two of the
singles matches, I.elson s Beck and Taylor
vs. Pornhelm, dlspln.ved the fastest tennis
ever shown by Ixiys In this or any other
city. The conditions were virtually the
same In both matches, with the exception
that Philadelphia triumphed In one and
met defeat In the other
Beck was not nt all overawed by the
fact that he was plnving the boys' national
champion, and the (Jermantown youth gave
the best exhibition of strokes nnd tactics
of any player In the match He led Let
son throughout the first and up to 4-1 In
the second, during which time his victory
seemed to be n certain! v I.otson. who
showed himself to bo one of tho gamest
youngsters that ever stepped on a court.
roso to the occasion nt this point and
pulled two long, bitterly contested games In
which Beck ran his opponent Into overs sec
tion of the court Whenever the Philadel
phia!! would get within a point of game,
Letson nlwa.vs stepped Into tho breach with
unbeatable strokes which kept Beck from
winning
Reck Takes Service
Despite the discouragement of seeing his
seemlnglv safe lead taken nvvay, Beck again
came forward with more clever tactics nnd
speedv strokes nnd took his opponent's
service for the lend nt 5-3. In the next
game he came within one point of the
match and while Letson staked everything
on aggressiveness mid pln.vrd with gteater
severity. Beck became ovetanxlotis nnd
plned the point timidly, giving Letson a
chance to score, nnd bv nvertlng defeat
kept on going until he had pulled the set
out of the (Ire at 7-5. Beck was visibly dis
couraged at the unexpected loss of this set
nnd his game fell off In the final four games,
all of which ho dropped.
He recovered game s In tho third set nnd
with Letson getting better all the time (with
the exception of Incessant faulting). Beck
once mole went Into the lead. With the
score 4-5. be led at 40-0 111 the next game
nnd every one In the gallery ngreed that
this was the New York bo's finish Letson
unfortunately did not share this view and
despite the fact that imv ono of the fol
lowing threo points would bao given Beck
a safe lead of 5-2, Letson pulled five suc
cessive points for the game The loss of
this game was the blow that sounded Beck's
defeat, for he wasvlslbl.v disappointed nt his
Inabl'lty tn put It over, nnd In the remain
ing games he seemed to forget that ho should
lob when his opponent was In to n close
cover and. instead, made, many unsuccess
ful attempts to pass him.
The Philadelphia!! was not through yet,
however, for ho won his own service for the
tend Rt 5-1. and as a result of a double fault
nnd an earned point, had Letson 0-30, on
thu latter's service Beck once moro had
victors within leach He needed only two
of the next three points Jo win the match, but
again permitted bis game to get soft, while
Letson stiffened, and tleek was onco more
unah o tn coma through The game, to
gether with the following two. was won by
the New York captain nnd with them the
city result depended upon this. It w
wonderful match, replete with thrilling r4
lies and brilliant shots, but the outstanding
feature was undoubtedly the rameneat
shown by young Letson. He did not loe
because he simply would not be defeated.
Dornhcim's Gnmncss Triumphed
The situation was reversed In the Taylor.
Pornhelm match Taylor had tba upper
hand throughout a close struggle. He won
the first set and. although he had many
chances to win. he dropped the second one.
In the third set Taylor, after eight brilliant
games, of which he won four, went Into the
lead at 5-4 nnd had Pornhelm 40-0 for the
match Flashing the same solrll that Let.
son was showing on the next court. Corn,
helm gamely fought back and. aided by
Taylor's overanxtcty which caused Mm to
play soft and safe, tho Philadelphia boy
won a brilliant victory
l.eorge Throckmorton In decisively de
feating diehard Myers displayed a came
that possesses future great possibilities.
The accompanying New Yorkers are of the
opinion that he will bo even a greater
p:ayer than his brother Harold. O. B.
Pflngst fought gamely against Fred Ander
son's seven. foot son. but the New York, boy
had too much reach nnd stride for Pflngst
to be able to fill tho role of Jack the Qlant

In a close three set match. It wee anybodre

singles when he defeated young Ceoll
Donaldson In three sets The New Tork boy
was quite diminutive, being the tlnleaty ot

Charles Jennings lost Its entire galleiry
which deserted to watch the marvelou
rapid fire play of the skillful youths. Q,
II Pflngst and Vnux Wilson, although de
feated, put up a fine match against Leston
nnd Anderson. Wilson fell down at the
finish of this match, being seemingly die.
couraged nt tho New York team's growing
lean une or me most interesting matches
of the day was the third doubles whtoh,
with young Donaldson, Carl! Fischer and
lleadley Harper, contains three youths all
in abbreviated trousers. These diminutive
trio, together with Gerald Donaldson, put
up a fine contest through three sets. The
Philadelphia pair were Just able to come
through with a slight edge at S-B in the
final set
The New York team was aocompalned br
the seniors Letson, Donaldson and MY. and
Mrs Tnylor. the parents of young Harold
Taylor. The boys of both teams, the above
named adults, Joseph M. Jennings, George
Wnrder. William T Tllden and the writer
gathered around tho stereotypod "festive
board" In the evening, at which time, fpl
lowing the courses, speeches were called for.
The responses nf the visiting delegation
were unanimously superlative in acknowled
ge tho hospitable treatment received and
all were a unit In expressing the opinion

Flan of Practice
FOIJ.OWINO my full Iron practice, the
next part of my jilnn would be to hit
twenty-four full rnasble shots. That com
pleted, I would go to one of the greem
and throw one-half dozen balls tnto a
bunker and hit tnem
out to the best of my
abilttj . then I would
throw Mime half
dozen more balls
Into some tough long
grass nnd execute
great care In play
ing them up to the
hole
After this would
come six run - up
shots from Just off
two ports of the
green Then 1 would
make twelve long
putts apleco from
onnoslte sides of the
holo and this would
be. followed In like
...miner by twelve
short putts If nfter that "e uv" wwe,
I should happen to feel like practicing more.
I would do so, but no matter what hap
pened I would always completo my sched
ule of practice
To a person of my temperament una
sort of plan is steadying . It Is llke having
so much work to do and not feeling con
tent until the job Is finished I do not,
however, suggest that every man should
undertake such a plan. As a matter of
common sense we know that If a Urge num.
ber of golfers should congregate on the
sreens and begin that eort of practice every
one's chance to play, or practice, would
undergo Immediate curtailment.
Adapting Fundamentals.
Circumstances must In all cases deter
mlno the amount of practice, and I think
H very probable that Individuals differ In
the amount requiren. jnucc... "--
of golf Is that It must be an adaptation
of a few fundamental principle w .......--
uallty. My articles are inie.mcu ,. .
forth my own methods of practicing for
hlc- events
Miss Alexa Stirling tells us thst she has
accomplished her own great achievement
with comparatively little practice Per
haps she Is one of the fortunate few who
need but little practice, or being an Indus
trlous musician she may hardly realize the
amount of time she does give to practice,
for good musicians are the most practiced
people I know
Once when I was a very small child we
had an apartment beneath that of a profes.
slonal musician and the amount nf time
devoted to scales was past comprehension.
The object of nil practice, I suppose, lsst
make the work largely automatic, and it
strengthen the muscles used for the work.
System of Practice
The golfer must practice his etrots until
he Is fairly certain of being able to maJce
them on demand Whether much or little
practice la necessary Is en Individual thlnij.
The really Important thing Is to hare av
system, small or liberal, as the case must
be. that must ho carried out.
I endeavor to outline my own plan, bat
each man's business, habits of lislnr, Deaf,
ness tn golf club nnd condition of courass
must determine his.
My own plan r.- a great pleasure to tne
nnd a great aid to health. It Is harAVto
Imagine any keener deltght-to a. real rolfst4
than the achievement of a good, shot, and
working for one Is pure pleasure. The real
Joy of golf la not winning tournaments. It la
playing the good shots.
