-' mt the Various classes In p-iglllsm Into the service under Old Glory ns workers of
the lied Cross. Then nothing would bo left to do but count the lllthy stuff that
Vill help America's real lighting men enjoy their duties.
By commissioning 1'eto Herman, bantum; .lohnny Kllbnne, featherweight;

undo? our flat Jf 600,000, slightly more or slightly less, could bo derived by tho
Government annually su thut It would mako lighting wor.th while for tho Yankee
fcoya "over there." All of tho leading boxers In question with tho possible excep
tion of Wlllard are within tho draft ago, but how much better they could servo
ur country than by each representing only one man In tho trenches. Through
their Hblllty In the ring tho chumplons and very near champs could bo of belter
Use, and that would be to continually bring In money, tho Blurt that really wins
Mich battles as Is now raging over in tho Old Country.
IMAGINE what half a million dollars unfiually could do to make thn
khakl-clud fighters feel good, knowing, too, that they had somo one back
In America fighting- rather, boxing for them, so that they, the real
fighters, could enjoy some little recreation and help feed them better as
well. Why, It would make 'em light all the .harder, and tho harder each
individual lights, tho harder each company lights, und tho harder each
regiment fights the sooner Kaiser Hill and his Kultured crowd will
have "K. O. by" recorded next to their names.
The Boxers Wouldn't Have to Fight as Hard as the Soldiers
IT WOULDN'T bo much work for tho boxers to appear on exhibition twice a.
month, not when It is taken Into consideration how strenuously tho boys are
trying to work their way Into Berlin. All of the seven boxers who could do so
much good under the management of .the bewhlskered old gentleman robed In
Old Glory have reputations of tho first water; each Is a boxer who would Jam
any club to the turnstiles. And there would bo many a fan who would rather
fork over a dollar or two to see a star box than to drop a nickel Into a lied Cross
box. Wlllard alone could draw a $100,000 gato In a bout In which ho defended
his heavyweight title; nnd why shouldn't the big American do that, so that every
copper of that sum would be turned over for tho use of his nnd our country?
JTred Fulton stands out us Jesh's most worthy contender and there Is little doubt
that Fulton would be more than pleased to box for nothing, so -that the lied
Cross would benefit by tho entire gate, Just to get a chance to annex the churn
Tlonshlp.
With a boxing show advertised for the lied Cross and the star boxers show
ing as head-liners they could bring In thousands of dollars a week for tho great
cause. After expenses for tho boxers are deducted there Is no doubt that
Leonard's share for tho Bed Cross, for ono bout, would average $3000; Kilbane,
12000; Lewis. $1500; Gibbons, $2000; Wlllard, $10,000: Herman, $1500, and Lo
Vlnsky, $1000. Two bouts a month for each boxer at these figures and for a year
would aggregate a net sum of $304,000. There is no icason to bellovo tho Gov
ernment couldn't draft boxers Into tho service of tho Bed Cross. Also there is
no reason to bellevo that any of tho flsticulllans would refuse to box for tho
benefit of the boys fighting against that which, if it were to live on, would soon
everthrow democracy.
THE Bed Cross Is a great cause and the work of this particular corps is
an absolute necessity during hostilities. Not only does It save humanity,
but tho herblc work of stretcher-bearers and nurses also wilt provo nn
asset In deciding the great war, that must end decisively lit favor of the
Allies for the good of future generations. And every boxer, not only the
seven great stars mentioned, can do his bit. It can be done right In the
twonty-four-foot ring.
Bob Fitzsimmons Would Have Beaten Jess Willard
Jess Willard been boxing In the days of lluby Bob Fitzsimmons
H-
"AD
tho
Circus Man would have been a knockout victim of the once Invincible Ruby
Robert, is the opinion of a number of old-timers who remember the late Australian
In the heyday of his career. Fltz would have outboxed, outpunched, outfought, out
Earned and dropped the Kansan for the doleful ten Is their argument. Wlllard's
body would havo been a mark for the powerful, rib-cracking smashes of tho Cor
nishman. Twenty years ago Fltz also would have been superior to Jack John
son, the negro, Is unother sentiment of a number of fans who can hurl; back that
&ir. Fltz never would have lost tho championship to Jim Jeffries, says Joe Vila,
of New York, had It not been thut the freckled person was not In lit condition to
box. Jeff was In far better physlcul form. In years gono by, when tho heavy
weight division had a lot of men possessing the class of real fighters, Fitzsimmons
was easily tho muster of the lot. Take u squint at tho records and you will seo
that Bob stood almost alone lit his class. Peter Matter couldn't stand up beforo
the sledgehammer punching f Fltz. nor could Jim Hall, Jim Corbett, Gus Buhlln
r Tom Sharkey, each of whom wus a remarkable fighter In his time.
DESPITE his handicap in weight against heavyweights, Fitzsimmons
stood out as the greatest of all big men until tho White Lights started
him on the down grade. Many a boxer when at his best has been knocked
out by the Midnight Sun and Midnight Sons, but ho didn't know ho. was
counted out until a younger, cleaner living boxer came along and tapped
him on the chin. It will bo a long time, If the time ever comes, before the
equal of Fltz as a puncher again will appear In tho ring.
Boxing Helps Youth in Gaining Education
BOXING Is helping Hurry (Kid) Brown, a Gray's Ferry youngster, to gain an
education. If It wasn't for his ability with the gloves tho boy, who Is only
sixteen years of age, probably would be running errands or selling newspapers
'tor a livelihood. Brown is a member of the high sophomoro class ut South Phila
delphia, High School. After appearing In soveral amateur bouts, Just for the
love of the game, the Kid took up boxing as a profession, becauso ho had to
arn enough money to defray his expenses so that he could continue, his course
In studies. Harry hopes that his ring career will bo successful long enough for
tlm t fight his way through college. If his bout tho other night with Mlko
Malone can be taken as a criterion, Harry should havo no worries ubout getting
work In the ring. Malone, at ono tlmo one of tho greatest bantam punchers In
Philadelphia, still possesses a knockout wallop and ho is a good trial horso for any
of the youngsters, despite tho fact that he Is old enough to bo a father to some of
them. Mike Is thirty-two years old. Brown gave tho "old man" a terrific tuselo
and had Malone very tired at tho finish.
BOXING has helped many studious young men to get their schooling.
It will bo remembered that u year ago u Columbia University student
graduated, and not until a week or so befofo given his diploma did It be
come known that ho had boxed his way through college. Brown has a
cousin who also Is a boxer and attends South Philadelphia High School,
but because of reasons best known to himself the boy doesn't caro to
L have his name or nom de guerre mentioned In public.

CHICK EVANS AND JIM BARNES IN
MATCH FOR TOBACCO FUND UNDER
THE AUSPICES OF EVENING LEDGER
Amateur Champion and Maxwell Will Oppose
"Pro" King and Loos Over Whitemarsh Course
in Benefit Foursome Next Monday
on::
Hy PETER
!: of the most Interesting things In
onncrtlou with the big golf match
which will bo played at tho 'Wliltemarsn
Valley Country Club, under tho auspices
of the BvnMMj LuuuUH next Monday, will
be tho b.ittlo of the links between Chick
Bvatis, the national amateur and open
champion, and Jim Barnes, the western and
Philadelphia open champion. Last year
Kvans won the national open and amateur
title and Barnes won the professional cham
pionship. In the amateur ranks Kvans has
no master, and Barnes Is admittedly tho
best of the American professionals. Barnes
has a recoid of 07 for his homo course,
whllo Kvans never has m:cii tho course.
This would seem to be a big handicap for
tho amateur, but ho has demonstrated time
and tlmo ngaTn the fact that ho never has
seen u course is no handicap to his won
derful game. So the friends of Kvans
lltnily bellevo it will be ono of the most
lutei estlug battles ever fought over n. golf
course.
All Champions
All four players, Kvans, Barnes, Kddlo
Loos, tho Shawnee open champion, and
Norman 11. Maxwell, tho North and South
amateur champion, are classed among the
longest drivers in this country. So tho
driving of these experts will be worth
going miles to see. But It looks as If the
real battlo will bo waged on the approach
shots and on the green.
Tho match has aroused tho greatest In
terest, nnd while It is scheduled for a Mon
day, one of the worst days possible, no other
day could havo been chosen, as Kvans can
not play hero except on that date. But tho
fact 1iat he will play In Philadelphia for
tho first tlmo since he won the amateur
title at Meflon Is sulflctent In ltFolf to draw
a crowd to Whitemarsh.
Within Easy Reach
Coupled with this, the fact tjfat Barnes
and Loos and Maxwell complete tho four
hall match Is enough to cause ecry man
or woman who plays golf to rush out to
Whitemarsh. Whitemarsh Is easily accessi
ble by train, trolley and motor. When you
remember that most of tho Chicago, New
York antp Boston courses aro more than an
hour's run from the center of the city by
train, and that Whitemarsh can bo reached
either by train or motor In forty minutes,
tho difference Is greatly in favor of White
marsh. Barnes has made some wonderful scores.

year:

Another Interesting feature of the match
i'i that tho two amateurs will play ngulnst
the two professionals. It is the blggesj
match of this sort ever played in this coun
try. Apparently th'u. professionals havo the
Letter of It as It is Uarnes's home c'ourss
and J.oos can play better golf at White
inrsh than anywhere elso and tho further
fact that Haines holds the record of tin.
coursu wit'' a Mxty-seven nnd Loos has
played It fit sixty-nine.
Hut Kvans, In spite of the fact that ho
will not see the course until Monday morn
ii'g. is Just as much at homo on a strata
links as he Is on his own. The Sunday be
fore the amateur championship began at
Merlon he played for the first tlmo over
the west course. It will bo remembered
that the golfers qualified on the two courses.
Playing with Bob tiardner he mado tho
tound in seventy, equating the course rec
ord. Tho first time ho played over that
most dllllcult of courses, Pino Valley, iio
made an eighty. Tho first time lie playtd
cer the Philadelphia Country Club course
ho mado a seventy-four and this was a day
after playing through the strenuous ama
b'ur championship for a week of thirty-six
holes a day. So it Is likely that !ie will
do Just as well at Whitemarsh.
Maxwell Likes Whitemarsh
Maxwell always plnys well at Whitemarsh
I' ml Us was a great assistance to Loos when
they played Barnes and Buxton in that
famous forty-two-holo match. Xormu.i
won threo holes outright and' that is bona,
showing, particularly when It Is remembered
that Barnes won but five; Loos, four, and
Buxton, four.
Tho entire proceeds will go to the Sol
diers' Tobacco Fund. This organization is
sending tobacco, mostly cigarettes and
smoking tobacco and pipes, to the men who
arc over in France or about to go over.
Thero arc nearly a thousand young fellows
v. ho are members of our Philadelphia golf
clubs who are either In France' or who will
he there shortly. Hero Is a splendid chance

Uy GRANTLAND RICE
SCATTEIUNO epistles from various by
standers and noncombatants contlnuo
to arrlvo with a request for further partic
ulars ns to the comparative status of the
male and the female of the species In sport.
Neither In golf nor In tennis has tho mat
ter officially been decided. It hna been
proved pretty well In golf that no male
champion can give a woman champion nine
strokes nnd win.
Tho rest of it It Is still a matter of burn
ing debate.
In Tennis and Golf
Just where would a woman golf champion
rnnk among tho masculine llno-up? . Or
whero would a Miss Bjurstedt or a Miss
Browno rank In tennis? More than ono
tennis expert has written us, offering fair
proof that neither Miss Browno nor Miss
Bjurstedt would rank among tho first
eighty tennis players In America.
A number seem to .believe and to have a
certain nmount of proof that at least 100
malo tennis players can bo found In this
country capable of winning from cither of
tho two ladles named. In golf neither Miss
Stirling nor Mrs. Gavin would rank among
tho first GOO.
This statement can be established with
out much debate. There aro Just about GOO
golfers In the country rated as flvc-handl-cap
men, or lower.
There aro at least 600 golfers who can
play below eighty or around eighty with
consistent effort.
Yet neither Miss Stirling nor Mrs. Gavin
very often can get below eighty-three or
eighty-four over nn avorage hard course.
Neither would be ablo to get a handicap
approaching five In the U. S. G. A, These
figures outllno tho situation without the
need of debate. They come very close to
telling tho entire story.
Other Games
There are no ladles listed in the boxing
line-up. Thero are nono that we know
of in football. Few go In for baseball.

Freak Shots
UlCnn como times in the career of every
golfer when ho faces a situation where
It is Imposslblo to play the ball in tho ac
cepted fnshlon and get any results worth
while. In such a cabc, if it is Impossible to
win the hole other
wise, trying freak
shots Is necessary.
I remember in tho
qualifying round of
tho national cham
pionship, which was
played at tho Chicago
Uolt Club In 1012, H.
II Hilton, tho great
Knglish player, was
leading' tho field.
When I was ready
to drive at tho eigh
teenth hole I knew
I had to make a 4
to be even up with
Hilton. I pulled my
$Mm
drive and the ball
wont Into the bunk
er. My recovery Bnot
ipft mo as badly off
CHARLES i:vANS as i wus before, for
I was completely stymied by a large tree. I
figured out the only way I could play at all
with any hope of beating Hilton was to put
a high slice over the tree, I must confess I
was surprised to seo the ball clear tho tree
beautifully and come to rest within one
foot of the hole. '
Another remarkable freak shot was one
which Ted Ray, a former British champion,
made when he was playing at Battusrol
with Vardon. On tho sixth hole he shot
from the tee nnd the ball stopped behind
a row of trees, through which It was abso
lutely impossible to play to the green. His
play was very much like the one I had to
execute In my match with Hilton, for he
was so close to the trees that he had to
pitch over them.
Uses a Niblick
Ilay. by the way, uses a nioucK quite
unlike that of any other player.
exceptionally large and he
cute some Bpienaia
tho hole. This remarkablo shot gave Ray
a three. This was one better than par.' nnd
was a freak shot that certainly paid big.
I was playing once on a public course
witn a roursome, which included a beginner.
His hhots wero going every direction and
he seemed to have absolutely no control.
His shot from the teo came to rest a short
dlstanco from a large tree that was right
In the center of the fairway. Ignoring our
advice to play safe, he stepped up to the
ball with hlsdrlver and hit tho ball a
mighty swipe. It traveled Just outslds the

Shots Very Unusual
The point to be observed In the results
of these freak shots Is that they are
freakish only In a sense that they are" very
unusual. The very fact that freak shots
occur every now and then shows that most
of us golfers have not y realized the pos
sibilities that lie in tho proper selection of
the club and- the right timing and execution
of tho stroke. No natural laws are sus
pended to permit freak shots.
And the fact that freak shots are exe-

painstaking study of dllllcult shots.

The ordinary Inner tube is not
built with the purpose of strengthen
ing the outer casing. It Is a mere
Inner lining designed jo confine air
pressure only with the support of the
quter casing. Not only does It give
no strength to the outer casing, but
because It Is a misfit It ts round or
cylindrical and the casing cavity ts
.pear-shaped It Is often the cause of
friction, pinching, leaks and blow
outs. Its thinness allows maximum
pressure to find and develop weak
tspots. To puncture It offers no re
sistance of Its own, and to the puno
tured casing1 it gives no protection.
viThe ordinary inner tube is the seat
of most tire trouble.
