THi:itn (lied at Philadelphia on Janu ary 2, 1918, one of tho best loved golfers of tho country. It is hard to speak of tho shock to his friends but I know what It meant to me, nlthough I did not hear of hit death until many time with tho nplendld patience of nn artist. It was pleasant to pco thn aI rol v ed bullies that marked tho lino of play and were but ono of thousand! of refinements. Mr. Crump was anxious to Fee a golf days afterward mid I urlto of It nowirour!l0 embodying his ideas of tho gime v. iiu vjci luuiMciung ui uii; uiuubiii ut him George A. Crump lvai not bo well known In tho Webt nq ho thould havo been, for moat of his golf was played In tho lclnlty of Philadelphia, where he lived. Kor twenty jeais or so ho had been reckoned among the leading golfers of eastern Pi nnsylvanla, but tho only tlmo I can recall that he played In an Important tournament In the West was at tho national amateur at Detroit, and that city Is merely n border line ot the Webt. Mr. Ciump Tas a man who loed golf for Its own sako, and ho loed tho good hhots of tha g.xmo and he learned to mako them. Moro than most men, how ever, ho realized that tho making of gooil fhots must bo encouraged by good cours.es. There nro many good courses around Philadelphia, but Mr Crump's Ideas of u good course went beyond anything that had been achieved and his lslon led to tho building of a cou'so that 1U always bo a monumen to fleorgo A. Crump. Tho Pino Valley course, of which hut fourteen holes aro completed, ' tho most wonderful courpo In tho 'ountry. It was built by tieorgo A. Crump, and to n greater degree than any courso I hae over Been It possesses Individual ity. l-erywhcro this Individuality was shown, nowhere moro than on tho greens, but ho worked constantly on tho whole landscapo garden as If It wero a picture, adding tho needed touch here and and ho discovert il tho possibilities. In vlblblo to many others at that tlmo, of tho tree-covered ftrotch of land, and In tho facp. of many discouragements ho went ahead I think ho bought the land himself, turning It ovtr to the club Liter on, and Into tho project be, eo suro was ho of Its future, put much of his own money, and finally built a bun ganw for hlm3clf at tho edge ot the course, ho that ho could better super intend Its construction. Nothing was left to chance, and tho result Is that to a turprlslng degree his Ideas havo found material form. I remember that hen CENTRAL CREW WILL ROW PRINCETON FRESH To Meet in Dual Race on Car negie Lake Either April 27 or May 4 .Ry ROUERT W. MAXWELL- Jcss, Jack and Fred FIRST EIGHT SELECTED Central High School has arranged u crew raco with tho Princeton Unlverslt ficthman eight, to bo held on Carnegie 1 .ko either April 2T or May 4. As tli Chllds Cup race, the oldest towing clas sic In America, will be held May 4 on Carneglo I.ako between Pennsylvania, Columbia and Princeton, It Is likely thnt tho Crimson and Gold will meet the Tiger yearlings April ?7. Thus far the training of the Contra Fqu.x has been conllned to tho machlnci In the gym, under tho supervision r Captain Dick Oellers. Uven thus early in the season tho men are rowing well together. They havo a good hcavp u tho shoulders, a splendid swing and a powerful drive of tho legs. The flnl.sl of tho stroke Is particularly strong, which gives an Impetus that will carr tho shell nlong between the strokes. A first boat has been formed and Is seated as follows: Dow, Jfoss; No. 2, McCllntock; N'o 3, IL Jones; No. 4, Kalidur; No. D, Traeey ; No. C, Captain Oeller3; No. 7, itubln; stroke, Mcuraw BnCATISB all of the other real cham pions aro In some branch of the Government service boxing fans have been forced to bo annoyed by the nllegcd tangle In tho heavyweight ranks Jack Dompscy and Trcd Kulton nro hot on the trail of Jess Wlllnrd and thero Is much talk of arranging a match for tho cham plonshlp Perhaps something like this will happen, nnd again It may not. Jess has bren challenged by perts and always i-llpped them the ley "taronmJ ozen mitt righting Interferes with 1.1, bUKlncHs. and his business has nothing to do with that rough sport called prize fighting Ho Is only the champion and Is willing to let It go at that A closo study of tho truck-horse situa tion reveals tho following: ' Tolton want" to tie nn nctor. DemiiseT wnnt to fight. Wlllnrd wimt to talk It over. Kurlous Krrdward Fulton says ho Is entitled to first crack at Wlllard's title and refuses to recognize nny one but tne champ. Dempsey has changed him a dozen times but nothing has happened, rulton snys ho must devoto all of bis tlmo and energy in dragging big Jess Into tho ring, and, anyway, ho has many Important theatrical engagements to fill. H Is much easier and safer to chal lenge the champ and appear behind tho footlights. Always Gcta In Rail Hvery time Frcdward qualifies as tho most logical contender ho docs bome thlng to nuecr his game. Ills refusal to meet Dcmpsey has not met with favor, for there aro many who bellevo that Jack could win from the tall plasterer. A battlo between tho pair would mako It ensy sailing for a bout with lllard. for Jess Urtually would be foiccd to de fend his tltlo ct relinquish all claim on It. Two years ago Fulton camo out of the Wet with a great j-ccord carefully prepared bv himself He said he almost ruined Wlllard In nn exhibition bout nt Rochester. Minn . and afterward knocked out seven men In a row. IIo challenged Wlllard and tcT a time It looked as If the m-itch would be held. However, the sporting writers throughout the coun try detected some spurious stuff In the record and laughed Fredwnrd out of the picture. That was tho closest ho ever camo to meeting Joss. rulton and his manager, Mlko Collins, went to Chicago and established head quarters there They wero fixing things up for tho big fuss for tho tltlo and were confident that It would bo held either In Mllwaukeo or New Orleans He 'Wins the Title r called on Pulton ono day and was welcomed by Mike Collins. "Where Is Fulton?" I nBked. "He's out at a movlng-plcturo studio," replied Collins, "whero ho Is working In a now picture You see, wo aro matched to meet Wlllard and after wo knock him out and win the championship the light fans will bo anxious to know who Fulton Is, how he became n boxer and havo some Idea of how ho scored the knockout. Wo aro anticipating this by a couplo of months and the picture will bo ready for rolene tho day after wo w In the championship. "It's a great picture," rnntlnued Mlko enthusiastically "It shows Fred as a poor but honest plasterer, working at his trade, and brings In a ll'tlo Incident which fctarted him In the boxing gamo He had a cruel boss who Insisted that Fulton was big enough to plaster a house without thn aid of a stepladder and Fred sometimes found It hard to naeb the celling.

Muggsy has been appointed matchmaker of the National A. A. nnd his friends will ex press their appreciation around the festive board. This la the first tlmo tho boy matchmaker has been Inflicted with a testimonial feast, but promises to wear his new honors as woll as ho Is abla. When Taylor was a kid ho discov ered the National A. C. ono day and liked the placo so well that ho decldod to stick around. He was given a Job as "glovo boy" and his duties were to see that tho boxers turned In the gloves after each bout. In a short. time ho was seconding boxers and rapidly rose to the position of Jack McQulgan's as sistant. He loved the boxing game and there was nothing too difficult for him to undertako. Two years ago Muggsy branched out as a promoter and took over the old Broadway Club, mado famous by Lew Bailey. He was successful from the start. Ho knew every boxer of note In tho country and had the names of tho local boys at his fingertips. His Judg ment was excellent, the boxers wero well matched arid each show seemed better than tho previous one. When the Government took over tho old build ing at Flfteenini street anu wasninE ton avenue Muggsy was forced to close the arena and since that time has do voted all of lUSi time In managing boxers. When the National A, A. was formed It was decided to employ the best match maker In the business, and Muggsy Tay lor was unanimously selected. It was a great honor for the young man, for it always had been his one ambition to make matcnes tor ma national, ISaaWP V i i I'll K$t V-V4vf fV?M$'v 1 W-UHttiVr .M&MUt J ' tSttSSKKtwKKKKKuf Job imtatili He cot nd soon ar- IHM ?-, VZw.Tgi..ri, . il . i. i. . ,ttVt HERMAN (MUGGSY) TAYLOR it brings together Jack Nelson and Franklo Brown.
