WIllE breeied nlon,r the c Igh cen-minute
t,. i like a sailboat with plenty of wind
b,hln the canvas.' While Kansas made
v"ral rallies and came hack stronc y In
the last few rounds, there was no doubt
Sit Jackson was tho better eloveman by
far.
Jackson Starts Fast
At the openlni? RonB Jackson started out
like the Jackson of old; like Jhc Jackson
ied to box before ho knocked out Dundee,
instead of tearlnB In. twinging both handn
for a haymaker, Willie circled the ring,
hooting oer Htralght lefts, loft hooks and
tight crosses Kansas scored with n long
left swing that stopped Jackson' only mo
mentarily. Then the big nolso of the eve
nine's entertainment was put on and the
proceedings, so far as Kr.nsas was con
cerned, came near an abruot end.
A short straight right-hander on the
nolnt of the chin, preceded by a left hook,
toonley Kansas Into the rosin. Kven before
Referee O'Brien had a chance to start
counting everybody In the ! arena. Sammy
Vogel more conspicuously than any of tho
other B00O or more frenzied fans,
were on their feet yelling like so many
madmen. They wanted to see a knockout.
It all happened so BUddcnly, so shortly
after the bout started, that It hardly could
be realized.
Down for Nine
There lay Kansas on his haunches, then
lowly pulling himself to one knee as
O'Brien tolled off tho doleful count. "Six.
even eight " O'Brien was shouting, hut no
one even those at tho ringside, could hear
the numbers, while Kansas, bleary-eyed
and In a semiconscious condition, patiently
watched the rise and fall of 'Top's" arm.
Then "nine." shrilled O'Brien, nnd ns ho
was about to lower his well-trained right
arm for the final second, that which would
have spelled knockout for Kansas, the
Itccky person barely stagg'erod to his feet.
Jackson lunged after Kansas llko n
Giants fan. who had bet the family bank
.-ii i fre lunch counter. Ho shot
Bunches at Hock's head like u machine Run
In action, getting to clos iiuartPis and
beating a rapid tattoo on the Buffalo bat
tler's jaw with hefty right-handers, Clroggy,
punch-drunk, weak-kneed mid virtually
dead i"i his feet, Kansas made a stubborn
effort to keen his ciiulllbrlum. and he did.
althiUKi! It was ham work. Ho was a sad
looking spectacle.
The be'l ending the round clanged while
the large gathering still was yelling, plead
Inc. shrieking for a knockout, all the while
Jackson was punching his utmost to finish
Kansas' misery. And the dim sound of tho
Kong came llko from 1'ravldence for poor
Kansas. He was like u (lsh out of water.
Rocky Hocks Around
Hocky rocked, tilted and stepped all over
his toes. He swayed and launched around
a If looking for straw or something to
grab. He started In fourteen different
directions for his corner, probably seeing
ns many, until lleferee O'Brien llnally put
him on the right track.
The one-minute lntcrinli;lon was .Ike a
much-needed month's vacation for Kim
las. N'ot only did the round llnish timely
MISS ROSENTHAL
WINNER AT NOBLE
Chicago Golfer Leads Field
in Qualifying Round for
Berthellyn Cup
N'ODUl, Pa.. Oct. P
The rain put a decided damper on the
Qualifying round of the sixth annual
tournament for tne Berthellyn cup here to
day Originally there were eighty-two
entries, but in consequence of the weather
conditions the field was narrowed down to
about flftv. hv no means a bad showing, all
things considered. Fortunately the rain did
not put In an appearance until after the
top-notchers had started.
Miss Klalne Rosenthal, of the Hevlsloe
Golf Club, Chicago, braved the elements In
Plte of the fact that she Is suffering fifmi
a bad cold. Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow nnd
Mls Mildred Caverly Btarted and were
paired together and Mrs. Caleb P. Fox,
whose husband Is the donor of tho trophy,
played with Miss Rosenthal.
Miss Rosenthal led the field with 98.
Unfortunately. Mrs, Clarence H. Vander
beck was unable to put In an appearance.
Fortunately for her, she withdrew yesterday
and therefore cannot be accused of with
drawing on account of the weather. Three
tUtetns will qualify, and there should be
Just enough starters to fill the bill. All the
contestants found the going extremely' dif
ficult, and Miss Elaine Rosenthal and Mrs.
Itonald H. Barlow alone of the contestants
succeeded In breaking 100 with a 98. Miss
rtoeenthal led tho field, but Mrs.- Barlow
was only one behind her. Both found
trouble here and there, but. allowing for the
handicap they were laboring under, they
4W remarkably well, and on a fine day
both would probably have been under
ninety Miss Rosenthal hncl u seven. on the
thjrd hole and another seven on the beven
teenth, She took exactly fifty strokes going
out, but coming in she did better by a
couple of strokes.
Her card was as follows:

II. JAFFE
for tho rocky Hocky punch-riddled pug. but
the On seconds furlough brought him back
to whero he was ; not where he thought ho
was.
That Kansas has quick recuperative
powers cannot be denied. The minute's
test nnd chance lo regain his bearings en
abled Hocky to leave his corner us If ho
had llrst entered the ring.
Jdckson was anxious to complete his Job
in tho second round, but he took no un
necessary chances. Ho Jabbed, hooked and
bewildered Kansas before shooting over a
right hander, and then at close quarters
Willie punched away for keeps with both
hands. Hocky was willing to slug, but
Jackson wouldn't have it that way from
the distance. It was different when they
came to half clinches. Then short punches,
uppercuts nnd over-hand blows almost
smothered Kansas.
Dody Ulow Hurts
A straight right-hander from tho shoulder
at tho beginning of the third round al
most caved In the Huff a cave-man. The
blow landed over the heart. It was a wicked
wallop. Hocky backed up and saved himself
from further punishment by falling into a
clinch as Jackson came tearing In. Jackson
gave ii pretty boxing exhibition near the
finish of the frame. Jabbing and hooking
At the bell Kansas's nose was bleeding
Kanras showed a reversal of form In the
fourth round. He earned an even break
for this period by reason of his aggressive
ness and hard punching, 1,-jth from the dls
tanco and Hi close quurters. It nppeared
that Jackson was contented to show hi
cleverness at times, Jackson did some un
necessary grand-stand stuff, and his fool
ishness gave Kansas an opportunity to score
some hard lunches.
Tho fifth round was Kansas's best. Ho
dashed from his corner with a. long left
hook to tho Jaw and Jackson was forced
to the ropes. Then a hard right to the
body almost doubled up Willie. This punch
apparently was tho only one that really
hurt Jackson. He was forced to use the
ring for almost a minute, with Kansas In
hot pursuit. Hocky had tho better of the
round by a mile, although Jackson llulshed
as strongly ns the rugged Italian.
Jackson Finishes Nicely
Jackson added the finishing touches to
his splendid victory by a great exhibition
In the last Inning. Ho started out as
speedy ns a deer and dropped numerous
hard punches on tho harder Jaw of Kansas.
In the half clinches Jackon drove home
some stiff uppercuts and Kansas's mouth
was badly lacerated. He bled profusely,
The final gong found both fighting strongly
and hard In Jackson's corner.
Kansas's comeback and exhibition In th
last llvij rounds really was short of re
markable. Previous to tho bout Hocky was present
ed with a cup by tho Kit Kat Klub, of South
Philadelphia.
Jackson's weight was announced at
131 U, despite u lot of arguing by Doc
Kutch, one of Kansas's advisers, while
131 'i was announced as Hocuy's avoirdu
pois. Ancnt Benny Leonard
"How about Leonard?" Doc Bagley,
Jackson's manager wns asked after the
bout, wheteupon he answered, boldly, "I'll
give Leonard $1000 If he will weigh In ut
123 pounds ringside for Willie."
Jackson Is to become a benedict next
month. On November 10 he will marry
Miss Pauline Scherr In New York.
Krankle McManus knocked down Bert
Spencer three times, rcoiing each fall with
a pietty short right hander, in the second
round. . and Referee O'BiIeti decided that
Spencer had had sufficient. I.co Vlcent won
from Al Wagner, Freddy Hussell piled up
nil early lead on Sol O'Donnell. but tho lut
ler's lltilsii earned him a draw, and Young
Hobldeau defeated Frankle Ness.

L00S HAS BEEN PLAYING GOLF
SINCE A BOY OF TWELVE, AND BILL
ROBINSON WAS HIS PRECEPTOR
Uy VETEK
Till
i:d
lias gone abioad that
IMdlc Loos, the very eniclent gou i""
fessional at tho l'hlladclphla Cricket Clun.
Is ii golfer of mushroom growth and that
he owes his present position to Jack McDer
mott. Nothing Is further from the truth.
He has been playing golf since ho Hrst
became a caddie, at twelve, and Hill ".
Inson. now his assistant at St. Martins,
was Ills preceptor.
Loos started lo caddie when he was a.
youngster in short trousers at the public
links In Van Courtland Park when ho was
u schoolboy, lie really began to play when
he was fourteen. When ho was seventeen
he attracted tho attention of Robbie, who
was then the professional at bprtng n"
which he had constructed. Robbie rebuilt
his golf form, for he had, like many other
youngbters, absorbed both good and bad
and entirely too much of the latter. But he
would not let him Play In tournament
mutches until he was twenty-one. For two
years he was Robbie's ass slant gn
Lake, and when he went to Atlantic City
Loos went with him. There he stayed two
years, and he spent one winter at beavlew
with Robinson. , , .
While he was at Spring Lake he played
against Jerry Travers and he heat the fa
mous amateur one up with a fcrre of 76.
He was then In his teens His first pro
fessional Job was at Charlotte, N. C. In
the winter of 1915 he won the amateur pro
fessional tournament at Augusta and In the
open he finished a stroke over Mike Brady,
"'ADe'land he led the field the first day
with u 73. scoring the wonderful total of
32 on his f.rst nine holes. But the best
he could do was to flnl-n fifth. He also
won the preliminary at the western open
tills vear. He succeeded Alec Duncan as
the pro ut the Cricket Club In March of
this year. . , . .,,
The first real loiiniauimi "i ""'
nature he ever played in was the national
open at Baltusrol In 101D. which was won
bv Travers. He was so nervous that he
never got started and failed to qualify. But
In the Shawnee open the same year he
tied with Tom Anderson for first place and
lost out after fifty-four holes of play. Loos
was five strokes to tho good playing the
fateful Blnnleklll. but the weather was in
sufferably hot and he was thoroughly played
out.
His Wonderful Playing at Shawnee
This year he won the Shawnee open by
outplaying the best players in the country,
scoring on the first day a GD and finishing
with 290, or two strokes over fours with
an average of 72.5 u round for the four
rounds. Ha bat out such cracks a3
Jim Barnes. HJmmett French, Walter Hagen.
Mike Brady. Wilfred Reld, Oil Nlcholls.
Fred McLeod and Charlie Hoffner. He beat
th' second man,- Kmmett French, by seven
strokes. It was a beautiful bit of scoring.
Eddie Loos will be partnered with Iy
man II. Maxwell In tho amateur-professional
exhibition for the benefirof the Red
Cross ut the Whltemarsh Valley Country
Club on October 14. He freely and
willingly gives all tho credit for his golf
to Robinson, who. he says, taught him
all he knows In golf.
There Is every Indication that there wi.i
be a record-breaking crowd at Whltemars.i
on the day of the play. Barnes has Just
returned from an exhibition match at
Woodmere, where he broke the course
record all to bits. AVith Barnes and Loos
representing the professional side of the
match there could be no better attraction
slated. Barnes last year had a monopoly
of the professional tournament, winning
the first tournament ever held that was
restricted to professional players. Ho uleo
won the North and South, This, year his
two greatest victories were In the western
open, which he won by the lowest score
ever made In a seventy-two-hole tourna
ment In this country, A week or so ago
'lie won the Philadelphia open by a brilliant
exhibition of golf.
Our Two Leading Amateurs
Both Buxton and Maxwell may be ex
pected to aid the professionals. Buck Is
not playing as much golf as In former
years. He threw up his partnership In a
big cotton firm In, Dallas, Tex., to accept
the position of assistant director of trans
portation In the United States Food Ad
ministration, at the head of which la Her.
bert Hobver. - And thla he took without
a, penny of salary. For years he waa one
of the best railroad men In the country,
I' liaii irct charge of the chipping of
PUTTER
nnd the two-time amateur champion of
Philadelphia will be thcro with wood und
Iron when play starts.
Norman II. Maxwell Is one of the young
est players In tho tuuntry who has over
won the North and South championship.
He also won tho Uelst Cup. the Shawnee
nijd tho Lakewood tournaments last fall
nnd every tournament but one at Shawnee
last winter.
Both he and Buck hit long balls off tho
tee, und with Loos and Barnes crashing
out long ones we may expect to rco some
of tho longest tee shots over mdo In a
local tournament.

Leading Batsman, While Daubert
Has Twice Held Honor
By GHANTLAND RICE
Concerning Walsh and Matty
No ringing, base hits went banging
Against the concrete wall;
A'o weak-kneed busher could ever hope
To get by with a stall;
No screeching drives went scorching
Along the first base sign,
As theit tore a-ripning, speeding,
Just inside the line.
Defeat the same old story
To their foes, try as they would
To trim Big Ed and Malty
When they both were going good.
Chicago meets New York today
Across the game's barrage,
But these two stars are not around
To lead the. oldtime charge;
For Father Time has atso
Grabbed a hand in this great game,
And beckoned those who lead the long
Parade of pitching fame; '
But what a joy it would be
If we just only could
Bring back those days when Matty
And The Moose were going goodt
WHILli Ty Cobb has led his league In
ten years out of eleven starts, the
National League has drawn no one-man su
premacy since Wagner's reign from 1900
through 1909.
Hero Is tho list of batting leaders since
1909:
1910 Sherwood Magee, Philadelphia.
1911 Hans Wagner. Pittsburgh.
1912 Heinle Zimmerman, Chicago.
1913 Jake Daubert, Brooklyn.
1914 Jake Daubert, Brooklyn.
1915 Larry Doyle, New York.
1916 Hal Chase. Cincinnati.
1917 ICddlo Roush, Cincinnati.
These succulent, statistics show that no
fewer than seven different players have led
the older league In the last eight years.
Jake Daubert was the only entry nblo to
maintain n two-year lease at the top. In
these eight years St. Louis and Boston are
the only two cities that haven't known a
batting champion.
Cicotte's Case
The case of Edward V. Clcotte Is the
queerest, or one of the queerest, In base
ball. The vast bulk of pitchers In their twelfth
campaign arc drifting out with their fame
far In tho rear.
Yet Clcotte, only known before as a good,
steady workman, had to wait until the end
'of his twelfth season to establish his star
dom nnd absorb his share of the olive stuff.
R. H. H. Among the regulars, Schalk,
Clcotte, Faber, Williams, Russell, Gandll,
Weaver, McMulIln, Jackson, Felsch and Lei
bold, of the White Sox. ure In their first
world's scries.
The Siege Guns
"To help decide an argument and a bet,"
writes a noncombatant, "can Joe Jackson,
of Chicago, or Dave Robertson, of New
York, lilt a'ball harder, and can either wal
lop one harder than Sam Crawford could?"
To the last query our reply would be
virtually us follows: "No." As between
Jackson and Robertson there Is no great
choice. Jackson Is ti much better batsman,
and will hit for more extra bases on this
account. But when both catch one on the
trademark It would take a testing machine
to decide which had the harder wallop.
Jackson has hit one over tho grand stand
iP
INVITED
at tho Polo Grounds. And Robertson ha
driven one Into the bleachers beyond the
tight field wing.
K. L. M. Cicotte's height' Is 5 feet
Inches, his weight 170 pounds.
