No turf ovent In the United States has had tho glamour and appeal of tho Futurity, which will be run nt Belmont Park on Saturday next, the seventh day of tho autumn meeting of tho Westchester Racing Association. It Is for two-year-old colts nnd fillies whoso dams were named when they were bred, and tho fact that tho original nominators of the first, second nnd third nt tho finish have .1 share In tho prize money Is con tributing Influence In making tho clai.slc the popular feature It has been since tho day It was first contested. In 1888, at tho Coney Island Jockey Club's course, Sheep head Bay. Conceived by James O K. Lawrence, then secretary of the' Coney Island Jockey Club, It was designed to stimulate tho thoroughbred breeding In dustry of the United States, and In this It has succeeded. Tim first Futurity race was won by Proc tor Knott, a bald-faced gelding by Luke Blackburn, with the negro Jockey, Barnes, In the saddle, and In aecVmd place camo Salvator, by Prince Charlie, destined after ward to be ono of the stars of tho turf, with Oaten, a Missouri bred and owned colt, third. It was a triumph for Ken tucky, nnd Sam Bryant, owner of tho win ner, with his red hair and beard and long boots, was the most picturesque figure New York had seen that autumn. Proctor Knott, Sam Bryant and Barnes have nil passed theso many years, but thero Isn't a breeder of thoroughbreds today who doesn't know the story of that race and In whose breast there is not an ambition to win a Fu turity. Some Futurity Eligibles While Sun Briar, War Cloud and other favorites aro not eligible for this year's contest, thero Is an abundance of promising material bred In this country, and tho ex perts have figured that the starters will number upward of a bcore. Luculllte may be expected to show sorno of tho flro and dash which marked his early efforts when ho was considered tho bcit of his ago last May, and Papp, the giant son of Peter Quince, regarded by many as a star, should find tho long, straight course at Belmont exactly to his liking. Rosle O'Orady will have another chance to show her heels to tho colts, and In this task she will not be the only representative of the female sex, as Samuel Wlllcts will be represented by Seamstress, O. D. Wlde ner by Rose d'Or, James Butler by Km press. Senator J. N. Camden by Atalanta and Frederick Slocum by Star Class.

JAFFE CLINCHING n ring contest, In other words, signing up two boxers for a bout Isn't tho easiest proposition In the world, and nny promoter, whether minor or major, will vouch tor that. Matchmakers usually spend many hours, nometlmes dnys and weeks In nn effort tn arrange a match. Statisticians never have taken tho trouble to record a list of "quickest bouts nrranged," nnd If there was such a chapter In pugilistic history the Johnny Tlllman-Chnrley Whltct bout scheduled nt Shine Park Wednesday) night would appear right under tho raptlon. Last Monday nfternnon Mugg.iy Taylor, manager of Tillman, deckled to leave Atlan tic City. Its boardwalk, beach, ocean, breezes nnd everything behind to hie hln self here for the otllclal opening of the 1917 1S seahon nt tho Olympln Club. lie stepped off on to Philadelphia terra flrma nt the foot of Market street nt about f:30. Boforo C p. m. Muggsy had n contract governing a bout with White tucked mfely In his Inside pocket. It happened that we. too, ennio up from the shore that pleasant afternoon. It nlso happened that we had the pleasure of a fanning beo with young Mr. Taylor and sev eral other Individuals Interested In the boxing pastime. Not a word was mentioned or even hinted ancnt n White-Tlllmnn fray. So It really was with Mirprlse that we were giving the Whlto-Tlllmnn papers the double O on nrrlvlng nt J. Olyrtipla n few hours later. Muggsy sala ho had arranged for the bout In exactly twelve minutes. How It All Happened Thin Is how It nil happened. Muggsy. hnvlng one of his battlers booked In tho opening of tho Olympla'n show, trolley-rode to tho Illalto to bco what news was new. Itobert Ounnlss, matchmaker of Shibe Park, was thp first one to emtio Into tho sun-browned features of Taylor. "How," said Boh pleasantly, ns ho greeted Taylor, and to make things nil even, Muggsy camo right back with a pleasant "How." "Just thought of putting on Charley White with a good man," was Gunnlss's lead to Taylor, nnd Muggsy countered with, "What about Johnny Tlllifmn. He's on hlsj way hero now." "Fine," Bald Gunnlss. "How mucht" "Twenty-Ilvo per cent," answered Taylor. Fine." reiterated Gunnlss. "What weight?" "What weight do you want It to be," queried Taylor. "Hundred nnd thirty-eight at 3 o'clock Is what Nato Lewis wants for White," re plied Gunnlss, "Good," was Taylor's only comment. "Sign the papers," came back Gunnlss, and he put himself on record aH clinching one of the quickest, It not the quickest, bouts In boxing's history. Speaking of Confidence Tillman nrrlved In Philadelphia on Fri day, nnd he was overjoyed to tip his hat at Billy Penn again. This Is tho Minne apolis boxer's third visit to thli city, and ho admits he likes tho town. Johnny was met nt the station by Taylor nnd ono of his stanch ndmlrers, Chris Dolan, by name. After a handshako all around, Chris asked, smilingly: "Well, John, what do you think of your bout with White?" "I'll take him llko Grant took Richmond," was tho unhesltnting reply, Tho answer was so quick and unexpected that It staggered Muggsy, while Chris top pled over as If hit by Tillman's right hand. He was up on his feet, though, before Tay lor htartcd to count. "Boy, you win," said Dolan, "but I'd like to know where you get that stuff off of. If It's out In the wild and Woolly there are a lot of boxers around theso dlggln'a who should tako Greeley's tip and grab oft tome of that confidence gag," They do say that confidence Is half tho battle, but no matter how sure Tillman Is of victory ho Is duo for some lough tussling. White Is one of tho hardest hit ting lightweights there Is, nnd many pick him even a harder punched than Champion TERRY M'GOVERN TO BOX JACKSON AT THE OLYMPlA When Tommy Tuohey was knocked out by Joe Welling In New York last Friday night, ho also was knocked out of a bout with WIlllo Jackson nt the Olympla Club tonight. Matchmakor Hanlon pressed Terry McGJvern Into service to pinch-punch for tho Patcrson Bedhead. ' Contracts of the Olympla read that after n hoxer Is signed for a match at the Broad street arena tho articles would ba void If he were to appear In a previous public bout. This Idea Is to guarantee fans here the nbsotuto physical fitness of a boxer. A boxer who breaks the rule does so at his own risk nnd leaves an opening for Hanlon lo veto tho glovemnn's contract with th Olympla. McGovern has been anxious for a match with Jackson for somo time, and he has a chanco tonight to get off to a fine start for tho ensuing season, Jackson stands out ai ' nn easy winner, but pugilistic dope Is upset oft nnd anon. Barney Hahn, of Richmond, Is to be an other substitute boxer. He will appear In tho stead of Billy Bevan, who was drafted, nnd will meet K. O. Eggers, of New York. in tho semi. WIlllo Houck announces him self tn fine form for his bout with Mike Burns, nnd the other numbers will be be tween Benny Valger, of the same stab! with Jackson, and Frankle Clark, and Tommy Sharkey and Lou Belmont.

CHARLES EVANS aa-t cawata! - v ntsr ir-r-ut mmUMSSX.!: o.J eest I THI3 other day I was asked to tell some thins about the club which htops the ball on tho approach. This little instrument of tho gamo Is usually called the stopum. It has n cor rugated face, and I think of all the re cent I n v o n 1 1 o ns three years or so In the same of Bolf, the Idea of corrucat l,ns the faco of a club to Impart back spin Is tho most useful. The new Idea was not quickly adopted, but Is now so uni versally nccepted by Rood players that one is simply astounded to learn that any prominent player does not carry one. In mv own case the Invention met a Ions-felt want. Throughout my Kolfinir life I have centered my golf practice around tho mashle. I have never regretted this early turning of my thoughts to the mashle, although I have found that the putter meant moro In actual strokes. As the balls becamo faster I practiced put ting backspln on the ball and as I put a great deal of work on my practice I suc ceeded ns far as the medium allowed. But the balls becamo still faster and It seemed the greens were harder to make them catch on. I was not discouraged, however, for nil my life I havo felt that the way to play golf was through tho air where there was no rough ground to kick you off the line. In consequence of this belief, there Is today ono really weak shot In my bag and that Is the pltch-and-run shot from inny dis tance. I want to go all the way to the green, Mashle Cut Shot Unsatisfactory Tho machle cut shot became less and less satisfactory, and I found that tho bnlls were not only Increasing In distance, but they were nlso diminishing In size. This decrease In slie made It harder than ever to get under tho ball to meet It properly for the backspln. As well as I had learned the shot.-vl found to my dismay that I was half hlttlng about ona In three because of the difficulty of getting the blade accurately on tho ball. As I knew that the absolute value of the cut Bhot was Increasing each year I began to look around. My thoughts turned first to my niblick. I worked on It or a long time and I think really mastered It I used the shot In the Western nt a rand Rapids In 1914, when I averaged less than 71H for twelve rounds, and at the National Open at Midlothian, which I came near winning. I found that It waa particularly hard to get distances with It and to Judge them. But what e. pecially commended It to .me was the fact that I could pot put a straight backspln on the ball. I mean by this that the mashle rut shot aa I Played it was a aort.of env I --" : , - . ... .

And for that rea Kin, nftcr two years of practice with my mashle my most beloved club I was be ginning to give It up, and It was fast loslns; Its place of prime Importance In my 'bas;. In spite of nil my work with the niblick, however, there was always the Inner feel ing that It would not do. I hardly wanted a club that would drop a ball dead on tha green, nnd In the winter of 1914-16 I had thrco clubs made for that express purpose. I had experimented with the corrugated faced clubs that fall and I was convinced that they did tho work. MRS. DISSTON AND MYERS VICTORS AT ST.
