White hns hnd only something like thlrtepri bouts in championship com 'petition, Including flstfets with eight different title-holders during his sixteen lyenr career In the sipmred circle. Hut Charley Isn't satisfied. Probably he tbellcves the first thirteen cracks nt a title nrp the hardest and might be nole te cress the dope In another titular tilt with Leenard. I Being thirty-one years of age and se lung in the ring evidently has net (handicapped White te such nn extent that hi- li.ix te go te "the old men's heinc," puglllstlc-illy speaking. '. White proved that he n. far fmm hem.: "aged" when he permitted liar Irett te uncork a fleck of il t - for tvve rounds mer In the Velodreme, near lYenkers, N Y., and then dei Idcd te make short ve?rk of the Cliften Heights supposed secker. When Wlilte was In Philadelphia just before the Tendler-Leenard eon test nt Jersey City, Charley visited Slilbe Park and watched Hnrrett rnmc through with a sensational seventh and eighth round rallj against Jet Welling. Beb's finish was se impreive that the ringside critics were unanimous in giving the bout te the red-head. "lie's a cinch; I tan knock that bird out in no time. And It tool; Tendler lx rounds, ehv Well. I can de It In ipilcW order than that " That's vvhnt White had te ny. referring te Harrett. after watching the red-head In his eight-rounder with Welling.

Like Battle Between Promoters WHILH nothing eflicinl ha bcn anneun'id. there is no doubt that White would answer, "Sure thing." If offered a bout with Leenard fifteen round te a decision in New Yerk Clfj, and f tverable terms, of course, could be made te the title-holder.

Seme of the wise crackers pem te feel that "It's the bunk," and merely a publicity scheme en the champion's part Hut Leenard admits he "needed nmne badly" previous te the Rrltten 'bout, and the champion evidently was net nt all backward In declaring that as a business man he was a geed beer. Leenard, it would seem, can explain his circumstances better than any Be, nnd here is what the champion bus te sny about his finame: "Since my bout with Rrltten nnd Tendler boxing te me has assumed an ntlrely dlfferpnt complexion. It's n business. I have alwajs recognized It s such. But I failed dlsmallj as a business man, although 1 did succeed as a boxer. "They say Leenard is a millionaire All the money I ever made I still have, appears te be the public's version "If I were rich, a millionaire, de jeu think I would have gene through lth my match last week, especially when I was suffering with a liadlj spilt je and my mouth was sere, owing te the less of a teeth in the Tendler bout?

If I were n ...J. millionaire and could cheese between the WO. 000 and the chance of In Jvlnc myself against Hammer worse than I was the day of the contest I Would have passed up that match. Yeu can bet en that. ' "But I needed that money and I went through with the bout getting humped a little mere by that tough Hammer boy. ' "In the future I shall fight as fa-t as (Jibson can procure matches Just new I feel that I am entitled te a rest after t!.e swift work I have done In the last two months. "It won't be long before I will get gein- again, and then I want te box eftencr, if Rllly gets me matches. I hae no home of my own and I want te provide a home for my folks before I quit the ring. "While I have lest most of the money I have made in the ring. I have tried te be a model boxer. I have lived well and acted the part of a gentle man, se as net te bring disgrace te the cnme that gave me my livelihood. "Anether thing: The fans expect tee much from a champion.

ORIGIN OF GOLF COMES UP AGAIN Ne One Quite Sure Hew Game Started or Who Brought It te United States GREER'S NEW RECORD IF WE ACJED AS WE FELT Fer j ears golfing fans have argued pre and con with the accent en the "con" regarding the date en which golf was Introduced Inte this country. There has been almost as much outcry concerning it as there Is about the origin of the game Itself. Seme folks say that the Scotch game doesn't belong te the Innd of the thistle any mere than croquet does. There Is a legend that It started en the frozen streams nf Helland, ntn. that only the lower classes would In dulge in Its frivolous foolishness. There are a score of ether myths just about as convincing concerning Its nativity. There are almost as many stories about Its introduction into the United States. There are some who declare that hairy-chested sea captains spent their leisure hours batting golf balls ever the sand dunes of California in the sixteenth ccntui. but there N none of them left te ilenj or tillirm that glossy tale.

Weed's Proposal Pace of a Trailer jockeys' "Bener" By THE OBSERVER PAT O'HARA WOOD; the Australian tennis player, has made n meaty pre. pesal thnt should furnish n morsel for the mental chewlnic of the tennlg effl. clals In this country and in foreign Innds. Weed suggests that the teurnnment for the world s grass court champion ship be held In the same country nnd nt the same tlme ns the Davis Cup matches. The world's title new Is conceded te the winner at Wimbledon, but no little does Gerald Patterson, this year's victor, think of the championship that he says any clnm he has te it "will be thrown en the courts of the Gerraantewn Cricket Club, September 8," when he starts play in the American singles tourney. Although Wimbledon lins carried the title, the American championships have been, in fnct, the' world's tourney for the last thrce years. In 1010, Patterson, Wimbledon winner that year, was defeated in the nationals in this country by Hill Johnsten. In 1020 and last year Bill Tilden wns the winner of both the American and English championships. Again this beaten the, Wimbledon victor will be among the entries, se that for the fourth consecutive year the world's tltleheldcr has competed in our nationals. The field in the Amcricnn championships has been stronger than Wimble Wimble den for the last three years. The field In the American championships this season is much stronger and mere representative than Wimbledon put forth. This is due te the fact that foreign stars, here in quest of .the Davis Cup, will be in action as well nB the United States luminaries. The only thing our national needs te make it a world's champion is the name. It has everything else. AWESTKRN golfer played 144 hole In one day recently.

Members of the vnrleus clubs nleng bontheuse row gave freely of their time nnd energy in order te make the Gelden Jubilee n success. They worked with their club members nnd they lnbercd outslde their own organization. One of the hustlers of the regatta was Mitchell Hens, a member of the Crescent Beat Club. lie spent his vocal cords en his fellow clubmen te have them turn nut nnd participate In the events. He talked te groups and te indi viduals, nnd then they pinned him in a corner. "You're doing te much talking about rowing in the nationals, why don't you enter yourself?" wns the wny the ceme-bnek ran. It had been ten yenrs since Hens pulled nn ear in competition en the Schuyl kill, but he's still n young man. Did he curl up and crnwl within his shell? He did NOT. He took up the gauntlet where It wns thrown and by a pcrsennl example of active interest inspired six ether entries from the Crescents, who have net entered an American championship regatta In many years. Hens finished last, ten lengths behind the winner in the junior singles. But wh'at difference docs that make? Nene nt nil, for bnck thcre in the wash of swifter competitors, outclassed nnd alone, Hens set a pace mere brilliant than the winner.

Miss Hancreft has only one style of piny, which Is a driving game. Miss Hancreft's! game bultk Mrs. Mallery, for there Is no woman In America who can stand en the bnseline nnd benf her by "swapping" drives. She Is tee geed te be beaten nt her own gnme. Mrs. Mnllery nlse hns only n few strokes; in fact, only two worth sponk spenk lng of a forehand and a backhand drive. She plays with but one policy. She drives the ball down one side of the court nnd then the ether, tiring her opponent nnd causing her te err fre quently. A chop stroke Is net In her repertoire. She never plnys n soft, short bnll, nnd gees te the net only when drnwn there. Her volleying Is net yet sound, although It is improving. She often attempts te lob her vellevs, which is very disastrous. Formerly she ridiculed the lob, calling It n "sissy shot," hut she new renlizes that it has an Important place In the game.
