POLLOK'S IDEA WORKED ONE TIME Benny Leonard Musi Again Face Boxer Handled by Ex Champion's Manager CLINE'S FEAT THE BEST Hy BILL BELL When Freddy Welsh was lightweight champion ho was managed by Harry Pol lock, a new York promoter, and thereby hangs a tale. It Is well known that Hilly Gibson handles tho present lightweight king. Ditto that Uoliny Leonard is tho best his weight In tho vorld. When Ilonny tnt-hed Freddy, .Pollock, ever hustling, started out after a champion. He didn't go out Into the very distant DUshes Ilko Connie and Ira Thomas, lie played Jawn McOraw'a ld army game or something. Ho waited and ho looked lliem over. He figured that ho would bnvn rcv eral years of hard work In producing and training a boxer by picking tip a good one. Irish Patsy Cllno was boxing hero and there and, nobody know who made hlh matches. His daddy and a man named Neumatt also took n try at tho thing.. Tills was a bad condition of affairs. Hero was ono of tho best lightweights In tho country going about without u regular manager and a regular press agent. i However, I'ollock covers ground quickly, 1 and when Matchmaker llaulou went after 1 tho Cllne-Leonard 'match for tho Olymplu on tho twelfth Mr. I'ollock did the talking for Cljne. And ho Mill -rr, talking. Thn '.following letter was received In tho llr.st assortment of thrco-cent postage tills morning: New York, Nov. 3U. Mill Hell, tho livening Ledger. Ueiir Sir: ' Hero Is a bit of "Insldo dopo" ro Penny Leonard, "Irish" Patsy inline and thoboy whom they have both stopped In u Quaker City ring ono Kddln McAn drew. Leonard mado McAndrcws muko 130 ringside, and nt tho end of Ilvo rounds, "Pop" O'Brien, tho referee, stopped tho muss because, 1-Mdlo was marked up a bit: Leonard did not knock him out. At 130, ringside, McAndrcws, who Is a healthy, rugged welterweight, crawled through the roped looking as It ho needed a trip to Denver. Ho was too weak to do his best, but at that, It took Leonard llvo rounds to stop him and even then McAndrcws wns not "out." Cllno let Mac como in at catchwelghts nd tho scales said "143 ringside." Patsy walloped tho Quaker welterweight tho other night for two rounds.' and In tho third round, knocked him cold. Tho De cember 1 match between Leonard and Cllno at tho Olympla A. C. In Phlladcl- ' phis, will tell tho tale. Cllno says ho Is a sure thing to beat the tltleholder from Jlag fall to ilnteh and. by Jhnlny. J think "Irish" Patsy has tho right "dope." Very truly.

Ts'onpareil to Run Show Tonight Tho dlfferencn between tho above-men-tloned manager and Joo Gelgcr, tho pro moter at the Nonpareil Club, up In Ken sington, Is tho difference between the winter and summer. Ono hu been taught tho . lesson of experience, and, liko all tho New York managers of Importance, ho continu ally Is writing publicity. Of course, It doesn't all get ovor. Now and then ho suc ceeds, and It Is worth tho effort. Gelger is running his club In a buslnessllko way with tho exception of his advertising. We iinanago to keep well Informed on boxing matters, but until an early hour this morning could not Inform our readers that Gelgcr was .running a show tonight. In fact, tho lack of boxing was mentioned. , The writers aro not to bo expected to go after the promoters. It will aid their busi ness and profit themselves by keeping In touch with tho ,paprs, and In turn tho general public Gelger Is as welcome to these columns as uny local promoter, and he lias an all-star card billed for tonight.

They observed tit onco that It contained many elements of success required for such a game, anil forthwith attempted It as part of their gymnastic work. Its success proved far beyond their expectations. It was only nercHsary to try It to lmo It become most popular wherever It was played. Tha col leges for women found It n boon. Tho physical training echuoltt took It up, nnd their women graduates spread It all over liho country. In Played Everywhere Today thoro aro few gymnasiums for women whoro basketball Is not n part of their curriculum, and hundreds of basket ball teams uro formed yearly In nil our cities by women nlm play tho gamo at reg ular times during tho winter. It Is one of tho most popular games In which tho fair sex participate. Kxpcrlcncii with tho sport, however, soon proved that Its ono great fault Is Its tend ency to roughness, and that In order to overenmo this tendency forao modlllcatlons would bo necessary. Nothing Is tnorii con clusive of this than thn fact that tho" ma jority of women who play the. gamo do n with morn or less modlllcatlons. Onu has n natural antipathy against making changes In rules previously estab lished. Tho fact that tho majority of women find It necessary to change the rules of basketball to suit their needs serins signllicant. All this has brought about a great causo for dissatisfaction ; namely, that scarcely two Institutions of education for women play with precisely the samo rules. Most of them play with changes of miiiio sort, but each institution uses tho changes for Itself. MAXWELL STARS ATLAKEWOOD Aroninitnk Golfer Plays Forrest, of Lakewood, in Tourney Semifinals M'CLURE VERSUS REEKIE LAKLWOOD, N. J., Dec. L There wcro somo exciting matches yesterday In tho first and second rounds of match play In tho annual Thaiikbglvlng tournament of tho Country t'lub r.f Lakewood. Hy no means tho least exciting was tho match between Norman II. Maxwell, of Aroninilnk, anil C. K. It. Itoekwcll hi tho fcconil round. Ilk which Maxwell had nil his work cut nut to defeat tho Lakewood representative on the nineteenth hole. The match had been looked upon ns ii comparatively easy ciio for Maxwell, but llotftweii naught hfm whn ho was decidedly off In his putting and very nearly put n surprise mcr. Maxwell started ofr well enough and at tho end of tho Jlftlt holn he was three up. At tho sixth Maxwell's putting vent wrong and fur four consecutive greens he look three putts, and as a ciniscqucnco the match was all square ut tho turn. The tenth was hahed In threes and Maxwell was cerlalntly fortunate on tho eleventh He put his tee shot into the water, failed to get out with his second and was only Just on with his third nnd took ilvo for the hole. Hockwell was short with his teo shot and then oierapprnucheil nnd wns short with his third and also took twu inure, a par three hole being hailed In fives. There wan little between tlu-m to tho sc enteenth. buL .Maxwell sucked up the holo nod found himself one. down and one to go. It was Itnckwell'N turn to get Into trouble on tho eighteenth, nnd Maxwell evened things up with a four to n six-. Maxwell pot oft a perfect drln on tho eighteenth, but Hockwell silted Into the rough nnd with his second bo wan in tho rough bevond tho hole to tho left. Tho Lakewood man was short with his approach and his approach putt. .:i tho other hand, .Maxwell played a perfect approach shot to within threo feet from tho pin and as he had a certain four Hockwell picked up. In tho first round ngalust H. C. Hlchards, of lialtusrol. Maxwell played tine golf, and never giving his opponent a chance he ile featcd him, 7 up and X to play.' Itlchard .won onlv ono hole, tho tenth, and halved thrt'o others. Maxwell was tho only Philadelnhlan to survive tho llr-t round In tho first sixteen for although II. S.

Tho regimental cham pions of -Camp DIx meet thn regimental champions of Camp Mcado In n gamo to decide tho football supremacy of tho two contonments on Franklin Field this after noon utS o'clock nnd with an array of former college and club btaM tho gamo should develop Into a cl.abslo that will sur pass In gridiron worth any of tho nnnunl army and tuny games In other days. Tho gamo today will bring to n closo ono of tho best football jars that has been known In tho history of tho game. Although college football has not thrived this, season ns It has In tho past, tho re turn of so many former stars through thn medium of camp games has aided to ii great extent the revival of enthusiasm. lCmbrnced In the battle array of tho two camp teams today arc men who havn gained national fame on tho gridiron and many other lesser lights on tho football horizon. And theso aro only a few of tho renowned players In the camp, but tho teams that will struggle today aro not tho pick of tho best players In tho two can tonments. They aro tho elevens which won tho elimination regimental contc-its. Both Infantry Teams Both tho teams in the game nro from tho Infantry. Tho Sltth Infantry Kcglment captured the title at Mcado and tho 311th Infantry tho championship at the. New Jer sey camp. It Is n peculiar fact that tho men on the Meade team are all from this State nnd those from Wrightstown are all from tho "fJkcetcr" State. A great throng of men In khaki will be within tho gates of Franklin Field for the contest. Meado Is sending R00O of the boys on a special train nnd they will all bo at tho game. Wrightstown will send about tho same number, nnd It Is safe to say that there will bo about two or threo thou sand soldiers, nnd sailors from other camps, bo that n crowd of about 18,000 men In khaki will bn in tho stands. This sight alone, without mention of a football game, should bo enough to draw several thousand civilians to tho field. Tho boldlers nro greatly enthused over tho prospect of getting homo over the week-end, for some of Iho men who will go to the game from Mcado nro l'lillailelphlaiis. As was aptly put by a writer In the Camp DIx News, It will bo "all excellent chance for fighters to bee a real fight, pn and ma, and sis and honey nt tho same time." Two Great Generals The two open field runners and generals will bo at the helm of tho ri'spcetlti; elevens. Ono Is Lieutenant O. r Anderson, quarterback on thn Camp Dix team, and tho other Is Lieutenant Kvcrelt Mylln, tho Mcado quarter. One year ago Anderson was helping Col gate clean up its rivals, and ho did It with such a show of nblllty nnd cleverness that ho was chosen by Walter Tamp for thn All- American team. Anderson Is ono of the best open Held runners In tho history of the game, and his .selcctlom of plays has won tho admiration of well-know u football authorities. Kcrett Mylln needs no Introduction to Iho followers of l'eiui, For--4ho last two years ho has been thn captain of the Franklin nnd Marahall team, and although i Mtrromided by poor ptajers Mylln stood out agaliiht. great, machines as a star of thn tlrst water. Two years ago those who saw tho Frank lin and Marshall gamo on Franklin Field will remember bow Mylln showed up How ard Uerry, tho Hcd and Hlun hero. Herry Mas playing quarterback that bearon and Mjllii broke through tho I'cnu tirst and xi-i-findnrv defense. - Ho camo down the tl.l .. .. li.n.tfnnnil rlltt 1 1 1 1 tfllllV ltrTrV I between him and tho goal lino. Uerry managed tn place ono hand on him, but that was shaken off with ono twist of tho litllo chap's hips. Another player well known to Pcnn foot ball supporters Is on tho Mcado eleven. Ho Is Kddlo Thayer, famous drop-kicker of a few years ago. Thaer Is tho young chap who beat tho Marino team hern somo weeks ago with a drop-kick when lie was playing Willi tho Meado olllcerb' eleven. Despite tho fact that Mylln and Thayer urn In the Meado line-up, tho Dix players aro blight favorites for tho victory. The AVrlghtstown lads outweigh tho Admiral outfit by seven and a half pounds to a man, nnd that Is somo ndvantago on a wet and slippery field, where weight counts. Tho DIx team averages 17 Ms to 107.

(iolf's Financial Aid- r Thoro Is no set record yet available as to how many dollars golf has turned In for I hu Ited Cross or other wnr relief funds, llut a faint estimate Is at least pos sible, llnck In May, on Memorial Iay, metropolitan clubs of New York nlono turned In more than fDO.000, slnglo clubs contributing J1U00 and $7000 to thu fund. Later on, at Fourth of July tournaments throughout thn country, inoro than 80,000 was raised. Hero are two lone funds from golf that netted nruuiid f I7C000. In addition to this aro all tho exhibition matches played by Oulmct, Travers, Kvans, Klrby, Guilford. Sawyer, Anderson nnd others dozens of these which netted from $500 to $1000 for each match. Thero was ntlll another general contri bution. Money collected back In April for prizes at moro than u thousand clubs, al most without exception, was turned ocr lo thn lied Cross and war. Many of theso clubs turned In from $1000 to JlfiOO each. Others only had $D0O to offer. Hut the total ran up liho Impor tant figures. Hero Is a known record of golf contributions that reach tho K'00.000 mark, and It doesn't Include countless minor donations. There was thu only duly tour nament among professional and amateurs under tho Golf I'rofessionals' Association that netted. moro than $5000. As for .Men llut golf has done something mote than turn In an Ininii'iini sum of money, un doubtedly a greater nmount than any other siiiirt has been nblo to e.'ilse. Its contribution In men has been Just as complete. Hero Is n partial list of lead ing stars- Hob Gardner, Uiilmel, Marstoii, Kerr, Carter, Ham Gatdner, Hlossnm, Top ping, and any number of others. Since marching nnd I lie proper condition of legs and feet are a. big part of wnr, golf lias been n lino training for all tin) men it lias sent to service.
