THERE has been a let of chnttcr In recent yenrs ns te which pert Is the
most expensive. ...
Court tennis costs n let of money, but It deesn t bother the champion,
Jay Gould, who has a mertcage en n couple of tens of cold dust.
Pole probably cuts n blRRer slice into u man's bnnk-rell than any ether

FILO, as played by the millionaires who make the Eastcetts, the Shel Shel

found. But there are some folks who piny it at a very nominal cost.
There are a let of cowboys through the West en the ranches around
Baapamce and down In the Panhnndb who can play the game right up te
the standard, and who hae trimmed some of tl'e crack cavalry teams in the

Thev don't bother with pith helmet- and snappy white suits, and their
wn intelligent cow-ponies pick up the game with astonishing rapidity. All the

The Cost of Gelf
GOLF, for these who belong te the larger clubs, is an expensive game.
Xe question of that. But the sport itself can be pared down te a rea
sonable cost for thee whose pockets are net bulging with legal tender.
Municipal golf link- have brought the ancient and honorable game within
the reach of every one. On the-e courses n man is net nshnmed te carry his
own bag and leek ir his ball when It snuggles down In the rough.
A bag of club- doesn't cost n fortune, nnd a ball will last quite a while.
e under the-e conditions the high cost of golf can be lowered te a rea
sonable figuie
A local profe-sienal a heme-bied. tee, by the way was talking about
the way he learned golf, and no one can say that it was an expensive way.
"We laid nut a course of our own out home," he said, "and played
ever hills nnd read I.atnp-pe-ts and fences wer hazards. Naturall, with
much w-c the holes became large, and we made ethers. The old ones made
excellent traps.
"We pln.icd fi .1 penny or two n hole. or. sometimes, when we were
flush, n quarter a round. Ne one ever made anything en It, though, for It
was 'an inflexible rule that the money should be -pent for sweets, nnd the
losers were in en it just as -treng as the winners.
"You'd be surprised te knew hew many well-known professionals in
thlh city learned tin- game that way. Nobody ever bothered about the high
cost of golf in these dnys."
THAT'K the way a let of professionals learned te play,
of our bin leaaue ball players learned their trade in a

Meney and Baseball

luminnries of the diamond the uninitiated would imagine thnt bnsebnll

It isn't Majer league ball, after nil, is only a fractional part of the
national game, and the rest of it i accomplished at a very -mall cost.
Eighteen men can lay out an Impromptu diamond and play an exciting game
with one ball, one bat nnd a few gloves
At root, perhaps, that is one of the reasons why baseball is the national
fame. The kids in the back lets can de as much In their wny ns the Ruths
and Slslers nnd at the cost of a few pennies.
Any game that develops into a money-maker becomes a showman's propo prepo
sition rather than a sport from the promoter's angle, anyway. It remains
a much simpler and brighter thing in the hearts of its humbler followers.
Who can say that It does net give some grimy yeung-ters as exquisite a thrill
te hit a home run off n hated rival as it does Rnbe Ruth te pole one ever

The Meney Angle of Spert
THE money angle 1 ad been blazoned out conspicuously in recent years. It
dominates tee many sports In baseball the salarle- paid stars are given
as much publicity ns the results of the gnmes. In boxing the first question
asked Is: "Hew much is the purse?"
Finances are invading fnmhall, tee. with the erection of vast stadiums
and the hiring of expensive coaches. jt comes into golf when a champion like
Gene Snrazen can earn ?."0,000 for three months' work.
New It has swung te the point where adherents of certain games beast
proudly that each is the m"-t expensive te plav. Pole and court tennis have
been cited. Se has golf. Trapshooting, tee, has been spoken of as one of
the high-priced sports.
Meney should be subordinated te the sport itself both from the promo
tion angle and the cost of the game, finmes of all sorts are the muscle and
brain builders of the Natien They should be made se that each is the right
of the many nnd net the privilege of the few.
The trend of prl'-es nheuld be downward, and the soft pedal ought te
be placed en financial reports of various sporting event-. Baseball and net
the sum taken in en World Series games is the important thing. Whether
Temmy Whoesthis put up 11 lean and game fight against Kid Knockout is
of vital moment nnd net whether the purse wns ,?.0," or $."0,000.
The cost of baseball bats or golf clubs or boxing gloves te the boyhood of
the Natien is a whole let mere important than either.
THE theirs of the future generation will be hardened by partici
pating in games, net bu watching them, anyway.
Spert in Europe
THOUGH no ether country In the world Is se inclined toward outdoor sports
as America with the possible exception of England the folks across
the water nre inclined te view us as the most mercenary in the world, even
In our play,
It is much cheaper te belong te a golf club in England than it is here.

Added te their hitting powers, theie nre
times when Tendler nnd Meran also
show that they possess cleverness.
.Monotonously
Easy for Tendler
Tendler had little trouble outclassing
the Chicago Swede, also known as the
Bristling Blend, who wns ever-hammered
throughout the scheduled eight
rounds. Only Hammer's ruggedness
saved him from "biting the resin." and
while it ensued in 11 monotonous sort
of n scrap, ench succeeding round being
a repetition of the foregoing three min
utes of action, it wnn't the fault of
Tendler nor that of Hammer.
At nil times Tendler tried te knock
out Hammer, but Hammer wouldn't be
knocked out. In his effort te put Ever
te sleep hew took n let of chances
with his precious hands, punching te
the ChicagennV hard head often,
although the Philadelphian had te di
rect his attack most of the time te the
body because. Hammer Hayed at close
quarters as much as he possibly could.
Meran, who showed he could keep
whanging away nt the ether fellow,
really was unable te display any boxing
ability against iip-nnd-tear ' Tiplit.
Meran fought Tiplitz nt his own game,
and during the early rounds it looked
very much ns if Meran would be the
winner. .Tee, however, came back -e
aggressively he was entitled te a shade
victory, but Meran did net le-e any
prestige.
The knockout punching of Chaney

single punch te stew away Hilly
Angele for that matter the Balti-

but Elliett surprised even hbt own
sehoelnuites bv his ability te scoop up
grounders and b grent throws retire
runners nt the initial sack.
lie, therefore, made this his regular
berth and was considered one of the
best slu,rt-lield"is In the Puhll" High
Scheel League last jear. Ile-(cer, it
was net enl his fielding for which he
was noted. Frem the very start hu
was a natural slugger.
Many a timely hit delivered from his
trusty bludgeon brought, victory te West
Philadelphia High. This, also was one
of the reasons for ills transformation
of n hinder te nn iniielder.
Experiment at Football
At football Elliett was mere or less
an experiment. He never broke into
a varsity game, but was ahvajs out
practicing with the clcen. He plnyed
with the class nine for ihree jears nnd
perfeimcd remarkably well at the end
pest.
He was te make his inillnl appear appear
atife In the line-up of the regular team
this season. His less is keenly felt at
present b Conch Deleplaine, who had
hoped te dewdnp him Inte a star.
If he had made a letter en the grid
he would have entered the select class
of the West Philadelphia High Scheel
athletes who have ebtuined four letters.
The ether sport in which he received the
W. P. was soccer.
During the aeiitIen season Elliett
has been pla.Ung with the St. Barna
bas nine in the independent ranks.
Eddie Duck, the manager of the Saints,
made another shift te Elliett by plac
ing him en the first sack.
Shifted te First
lln took te this pet,t wonderfully
and ills long reach enabled him te
grab ever-throws out of the air, and
he wnb ndept at pulling (lie low ones out
of the dust. He was one of the lead
ing Hitters et tne te.ipi, and helped
iiruiuuii-uii, iu nn! inuii running up a
record of fourteen stiulght games lie-
lore (usuamiuig.
Shortly afterward he was signed as
a substitute first baseman bv Bill Bu Bu
delph, manager of the Seuth Phillies
In the absence of Teny Pasquenillnl

Elliett, te the Wes,t Philadelphia
High Scheel students, will be remem
bered as a player always plajlng a

square deal.

Classes in Trapshooting
FOR the first time in history national class championships will be held in tbil
Grand American sheet at Atlantic City. I
Gunners from nil ever the country have been rated in different classes anil
titles were te be awarded te the winner in each division.
Class sheeting hns been tried nnd found successful in club sheets and tblil
year it was decided te inaugurate this policy into the shore classic.
The system is similar te the one used In rowing, in which oarsmen aril
divided into juniors, intermediates and seniors, irrespective of age.
The basic idea is te enceurngc the beginner, who would have no china I
ngirlnst the vcternn who hns been gunning nt traps for years.
By the method of class division every shooter has opportunity te win
national title in competition against men of his own caliber.
This mnkes for Interest, and it would be well for ether sports to.adeptl
tne same policy.
CARIi FISCHER Is rated generally as a brainy tennis player, but
if the truth be Imewn he pulls a let of "bones." Carl Is a student
at the College of Osteopathy.
