VNE night about three years ago a boy in short pants knocked at the stage
" door of the Gaiety Theatre. Ho was of slender build, weighing around
100 pounds and looked to bo about fifteen years old. Ho was neatly dressed,
however, bin face was washed until it glistened and he had a clean neck,
showing ho was a stranger in tho neighborhood.
. "I want to fight in the nmateur tournament," he said politely to the

HARRY (KID) BROWN
They changed in a convenient doorway and the pseudo messenger boy went
back to the thcatro This time he was admitted without question and his entry
for the 105-pound championship accepted.
That was the first appearance of Harry Kid Brown, one of our rising young
.featherweights, in a prize ring. It was his introduction to fistiana, and showed
him there were possibilities in the game if one took it seriously. He was suc
cessful in tho preliminaries and semifinals, and when the final bout took place
h'e scored a one-sided victory and carried home with hira the diamond ring.
Harry was afraid to tell his folks he had been fighting, but it was im
possible to keep the secret. The news soon leaked out and bis folks were broad
minded enough to look at it in tho proper light.
rTEE boy had been through a boxing tournament, ho had icon and did
not suffer any injuries. They decided that boxing icas not such a
rough sport after all.
Stuck to His Studies
TODAY Harry Brown is almost nineteen sears old. he has boen boxing in
the professional ranks for more than two years, engaged in fifty-one bouts,
never has been knocked out and is earning several thousand dollars a year.
That sounds like the usual stuff when writing tho story of a. boxer, but Brown
trnot one of the ordinary athletes. He is" moro liko one of Alger's or
Oliver Optic's heroeaof fiction. "ww .,
I "White establishing himself in the boxing world Harry has been attending
seliool every day, studyinThard and has been one of the leaders in his class. He
was a student at SoutbPhiladelphia High School and will receive his diploma
on'Jebruary 12. He graduated with honor3 and now intends to enter the Uni
versity of Pcnnsyhunla and study dentistry. v
Brown is ono boy In a million. He is the only one I can recall wlio stuek
close to his studies while boxing, supporting himself and his parents at tho
same time. He surely is n wonderful example to follow in the boxing game.
Harry started to work when thirteen years old. Ho was attending the
Mount Vernon School, at Third and Catharine, and sold papers for I'hil Glass
man after school hours. Lew Tendlcr nlso was ono of the salesmen. After
finishing the grammar grades Harry, liko the other boys in his class, had a
desire to go to work. His futher ttns a tailor and worked in it factory, nnd
he was one of six children. It was up to him to earn 5 a week, because tho
money was needed at home.
a v
HE SOO.Y discovered how difficult it teas to get a job which paid any
sort of teages, so he decided to sell papers one more year and go to
high school, lie averaged more than So a week, but wanted more, so
he went to tcork as a messenger boy, JIis hours iccre longer, but no
matter how late he worked at night, he always ten? at school the
next day.
Made Bow
"TTTHEN he was in his sophomore year ho entered the amateur tournament
VV at the Gayety and won tho diamond ring. That gave him his start, and,
with Joo Blum as his manager, he embarked in the professional world. His
first fight was at the Broadway against Young Eddie Wngond. Harry won in
the fifth when Young Eddie quit, and for tho glorious victory was banded the
munificent turn of S". Harry didn't think that was to bad, and decided to get
fome more of that "easy money."
His next opponent was Mike Malnne, a featherweight who hits like a
welter. Mike has knocked out dozens of opponents, but failed to register on
Brown. He knocked Harry to the mat in tho fifth, and to this day Brown
says it was the harde-t blow he ever stopped. He received S12.f0 for that
battle, nnd in tho summer of 1017 boxed at Shibe Park against Al Moore. lie
was handed $15 for that.
Harry continued to appear in curtain-raisers and after his eighth fight
was pitted against Eddie O'Kcefe at the National. He was given the popular
decision over the veteran, but, better than that, his price that night was $70.
Then he decided to go with Phil Glassman and met with great success.
Ho soon began to appear in the "third bout," which is just before the semi-wind-up
and regarded as an important position. A couple of month no he
appeared in a wind up in Boston, receiving SftOO fur his efforts. He ha-, met
most of the best boj in his class, but Glassman is nursing hira along care
fully, is shrewd in seleeting opponents and before another year has passed
Brown will bo a top-notcher. Ha can't help it, becauso he has brains, the
ambition to succeed and a very clever manager. A combination like that i
bard to beat.
It was not until last year that tho professors at Southern High learn, i
that one of their star students was a boxer, Harry feared he would be e
pelted if the truth were known, but, much to his surprise, evcrybodv g;i
him all the help in their power.

GOLF IS ENGULFING
POPULATION IN U. S.
Scottish Germ Is Invading Small Toivns in America, and
'. Day Is Near When 5,000,000 Yanks Will Ur
Whanging Away at the Ball
By GRANTLA'nd RICE
IT IS the belief of the Hon. George
Adc, of Brook, Ind., that it is only
a matter of n year or two now before
golf will begin to invade" tho small
towns of America, of from 3000 to -1000
in population "nnd when it docs,"
says George, "look out, for the tide will
engulf most of our natirc population,"
"There is n big swing in this direc
tion already," he said today, "aud
within a brief period you will fiud nt
least n nino-hole golf course laid out in
every town, or nearly every town, that
can locate forty or fifty acres of virgin
soil and that can produce thirty or forty
malo members subject to the Scottish
germ."
Mr. Adc is correct in this surmiso.
Golf is not only headed toward the
small towns, just as It engulfed Scot
land and England, but when it docs the
day isn't so far away when there will
be fi.000,000 Americans whangiug away
at the .ball.
When fans from the Middle West nnd
from New England hike all tho way to
St. Petersburg, remove their coats, ad
just their suspenders nnd whiskers on
the first toe, the general popularity of
the game for future reference can be
estimuted.
Bunkers Yrom the t'louds
WE HAVE frequently had a chance
to estimate the number of bunkers
on a golf .course in the course of n round
by taking them one at a time. This im
pression is always vivid, but the en
semble is lacking. Theru is no chance
to obtain any such vision in bulk vliile
slogging along the fairway.
In order to get this cuscmble wc took
a flight over the Bcllcair course today
with Len Wheeler, tho noted pilot, who
has u hydroplane here for this express
purpose.
At a height of 8000 feet the golf
course below resembles a succession of
vast divots, linked together. These
divots are bunkers, traps, pots and
hazards, nnd they nppear to cover the
entire course in their sweep with only
a few square yards of open soil.
From abovo there seems to bo a
greater space allotted to traps than to
the fairway, an opinion that quite a
number of golfers have always nain
taiued. It was a refreshing change to look
j from the bunkers replete with harassed
' and profane humanity out to the line
i beyond where the green waters' of tin
gulf and the blue waters of the bay met
beyond the last sandspnr.
4
THE hjdroplane trip also showed the
best system of carrying various
traps and bunkers across the course.
You can do it with a hydroplane easier
than jou can with a driver or a brassic.
THE late Mr. Gray was correct about
"being born to blush unseen." or
words to that effect. j
There is a stocky little Scotchman
here that very few out-dde of his own
district have ever heard about, and jet
lie is on" of the best shot players in
the country . His name is Davie Rob
ertson, nnd you can gamble your last
kopeck that he will trnel around any
firs.t-class course between seventy-one
and seventy-three on n general average.
You never heard of him because he
hasn't time between giving lessons nnd
looking after his course to play in any
