A Putt That Won
RHADlIHS have hequently asked mo to
w rite an occasional article on some of the
great shots that h tv e been made In golf I hav e
long beep an ardent student of tho history
and stories of golf, ns well as the science
of tho game And
many Instances of
remarkable shots
come to my mind
ns I think back
over the matches I
have myself taken
part In and tho sto
ries that have come
down to us about
great players of an
earlier generation
The story Is al
ready a classic of
how Francis Oulmet
putted In his match
with the British
stars, Vardon and
Itiy Great as was
Oulmet's achieve-
CHAllLES EVANS ment there. I am
Inclined to think that a putt made
by the veteran Salter Travis was about
the most remarkable piny hat has been
executed during my golfing lifetime
At one of the metropolitan championships
played at Garden City. Travis was having
a very hard match with Mr Wilder, of
Boston In fact the veteran was four holes

of escaping the "pan" Is for Leonard to
Knock Wsgonrt sa cold that Tiank Is able U
toll off the doleful ten ( thonvlse, there
will be two different and distinct fac'tons
of fans with sentiments all their own.
Offer for Lconard-Tillman Bout
Champion Leonard has been offered a flat
guarantee of 2S00 bv Muggsy Taylor to
box Johnnj Tllhmn Ullly Gibson. Leon
ard's manager evldcntlv Is not keen for this
bout as he has mnde no definite nnswer to
Tajloi s offer He maj have good reasons
for passing up Tillman The tltleholder has
been called to the colors of fnde Kam, and
this too probablv will prove an obstaclo In
getting Tillman and Leonard together
Leonard has been commissioned as a box

Tillman Has Tough Battle
Johnny Tillman won from lMdle McAn
drews on Saturday night at the National
Club but the Mlnneapolltan didn't have an
eisy time showing superior form Tlllmun
can thank his rally near the end of the
fifth round and his advantage In the last
round for his victory McAndreus was
In great shape and never showed better
form
Mc Andrew a stepped out In front In the
first round and fought bird to keep In the
lead Ho had a slight shade at the finish
of the fourth round but Tillman s advan
tage In the fifth frame evened up matters,
and then Tillman s work In the last period
enabled him to leave the ring a winner
Muckel Hilcj sui prised the customers bj
cirnlng a draw against Mike IMle Hrtls
started out like a sure winner, and It
looked as It he would nt least knock down
the little Smoky Hollow youth Muckel
however, stuck to his task and came back
so strongly that L'rtlo didn't have a thing
on him nt the flnil bell.
Al Wagner nnd Young Lawrence, the
clown boxers put on their usual clownish
exhibitions nnd neither was able to be
funnier than the other so It was all even
Battling Mack defeited Terry McCue and
Johnny Vlggl drew with Hddle Palmer
Kensington and Richmond fans are
manifesting a lot of Interest In the bout
between Little Rear nnd Penny Hughes at
116 pounds ringside tomorrow night at the
Nonpareil
a Championship
dropped squarely Into the hole, certanly one
of the most rcmirkable putts In golfing Ins
tory The st-oko Itself must have had a de
cided Influence on Wilder, for he missed his
putt, lost the next hole, as well as leaving
tho match squared Wilder came back
strong after this, but Travis would not be
denied, and on the fortieth hole rank hlj
tail again nnd won the match
Achievements like thU of Travis are a
golfing Inspiration for cery player The
golfer who will keep lessons lic thl' In

under seemingly Impossible cond t'om wll
have to be reckoned with oa every t,olf

Six High School Elevens
Ready for Initial Games
to Determine Champion
SOUTHERN AT CENTRAL
By PAUL PREP
The thousands of students of the six
puhllc high schools In this city nre anx
iously awaiting the toot of the referee's
whistle on Frldny afternoon, which will
send the high school elevens Into their
Initial contest foi the lnterscholastlc foot
ball championship of Philadelphia
This Is the first season that all the high
schools will compete for the Glmbel Cup
Last vear the champion Soutli Philadelphia
team did not meet Germantown and North
east High did not plav Frankford (ler
mnntown was n member of the league but
through a misunderstanding the managers
of the South Philadelphia and Oernian
town schools failed to arrange a date for
a gime and for a time it wns thought that
the two elevens would have to meet In
order foi Southern to claim the ihainplou
shlp This was averted when Northeast
lost the last matih of the season to West
Philadelphia giving the title to the down
town Ited nnd Black color for the first
time In the historv of the school
Tho mati lies this vear promise to be
hard fought, with South Philadelphia.
Central and Northeast appearing to have
the edgo on the other elevens This edge
Is Just as likely to dlsapear after the open
ing game ns the sharpest finish on a razor
It Is hardlv possible that the race this
year will furnish as manv upsets as the
contests last season
Since the time Kills Glmbel put the
trophey up for lompetltlon Northeast High
his been the victor twlie Centrnl High
and South Philadelphia once The hand
some cup will become the permanent pos
session of the first Institution winning it
three times The other vears have resulted
in tie" Although Northeast has won the
trophv twice. It has not finished on top
slnco 1114
The schedule next Friday calls for the
South Philadelphia 'live wires to meet

Second-hand Car Ads Show
What to Avoid in Automobile Buyinj
E'
VERYBODY has
the tremendous amount of news
paper advertising being done to
move second-hand cars. With many
dealers the Used Car Show has become
an annual event.
Much can be learned from used car
advertising, when the prices quoted for
the different makes and models arc con
sidered. With the average car the biggest
single item of expense the first year is
depreciation. Besides its loss as an invest
ment it tells another story its record for
service, utility, economy in tires, gasoline
and oil.
Used Franklin Cars have always been
scarce scarce enough to have waiting
lists of people throughout the country
who would rather pay the comparatively
high price of a used Franklin than put
the money in a new car of wasteful
upkeep.
The Franklin Owner Rarely .
Changes to Another Make of Car
Unlike the average motorist the
Franklin buyer does not endeavor to set
tle his choice among three or four makes.
The motorist who buys a Franklin
Car has unmistakable reasons for his
choice.
The Franklin buyer
has for a long time re
garded the. Franklin as
his ultimate car. He is
a man who knows the
reasons back of the pres
ent trend towards the
Franklin Car reasons
that have trifled the
Franklin building
schedules. Reasons that
always make Franklin
demand exceed Frank
lin production.

And what are these reasons? One is
Economy. On July 13th of this year 179
Franklin Cars, under standard efficiency
rules, at points throughout the country
established a new record for tjasolinc
economy by averaging 40.3 miles for a
single gallon of gasoline.
A similar economy in tires is recorded
by Franklin owners themselves. Reports,
over a stretch of five years, give 10,203
miles as the average for a set of tires.
Again economy in oil. A Franklin
Sedan covered 1046 miles New York to
Chicago on a single gallon.
Franklin Scientific Principles
Insure Long Life
The comparatively high prices of the
Franklin in used car advertising is the
best proof of its long life. Scientific light
weight construction, fine materials wisely
distributed and direct air cooling com
bine to minimize friction, wear, tear and
unnecessary pounding so common with
the average heavy car and destructive to
long life.
Reasons for choosing the Franklin are
numerous. Every Franklin owner can
give them from experience.
But never before has
it been so urgent for
every motorist to know
the full Franklin fac(s " J
as it is these days days
that clearly indicate that
the motorist must ulti
mately accept either re
stricted use of his car or
curtail unnecessary
waste with the Franklin,
