LIVELY SEASON FOR HARRISBURG GOLF IN PROSPECT; ATHLETICS WILL TRAIN AT HOME

Downfall of Bat Nelson Was Hastened
by Rudy Umholz Who Beat Him Badly
"Probably no man in the world cut |
£, greater figure in the division of [
the world's lightweight title a cer- <
tain time than our Unholz,' !
eays Ed W. Smith, the vet'erun ref- |
cree. "We won't say that Rudy was j
ever anywhere near being a cham
pion, because he wasn't, but he was
a sort of offside factor one time in j
a peculiar way.
"Rudy was a lovable little fellow, 1
who hung out around Los Angeles
at a time when Nelson was making
a big name for himself. Rat had I
just beaten Joe Gans twice and had !
obtained the title. The Dane was j
badly puffed up on himself, and)
thought there was nothing in the i
world to hold a candle to him. There j
wasn't at the time —in a long tight— j
but there were several kids just dy- j
ing get at him in a short battle. I
Was Nelson Jealous?
"Unholz fought and whipped!
George Menisic of this city in Los!,
Angeles one night, and Nelson, jeal- j
ous of this trick, sent from Salt Lake |
City, where he happened to be, a |
telegram that afterward became his-i
toric in fight annuls. 'Save him for :
me,' was the message he fired at
Tom Carey, the Los Angeles match- ;
maker. This was easy to do, since j
Unholz was more than anxious to j
get a crack at Nelson over the ten- ;
round route, and Rat was a strong |
card on the coast at the time.
Herice it was that Nelson, coming
into the ring badly puffed up with
his own importance, got a fine trim- j
ming from Rudy that evening. Un- j
holz took the lead at the start and !
never relinquished it, putting it all
over the champion at every inch of j
the route. Nelson was the most sur- j
prised man in the world after that j
contest had been decided, and luck
ily for him it happened to, be one of I
the rure no-decision battles that they j
held In that city. '
PULPIT CALLS
DENOUNCED BY
BISHOP BERRY
Methodist Episcopal Prolate
Warns Congregations and
Ministers Practice Is Wrong
Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of Phil
adelphia, wishes to discourage the
growing practice among Methodist
Episcopal churches of "calling"
pastors to their pulpits. "Calls" are
in order in Presbyterian and Baptist
churches, which adhere to the con
gregational system, the bishop says,
but they are 'lawless" in the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, where
bishops appoint ministers to congre
gations at the annual conference.
The bishop emphasizes these opin
ions, and administers a rebuke to a
Philadelphia minister who wrote to
him announcing he had a
'call" from s a certain church and
the bishop to appoint him to
"that ' church next March. Bishop
Berry withholds the names of church
and minister.
In his letter to the bishop the
minister wrote.
"My dear Bishop Berry—Several
officials of the Church were in
my congregation last Sundaj* and
to-day I am in receipt of a call from
that church to become its pastor next
year. That will bo an advance of
S3OO in my salary. I have replied,
pledging myself to go, and ant now
writing to you to ask if you will
make this appointment."
Bishop Berry sent the following
reply to the clergyman's communica
tion:
"My dear Brother—l have receiv
ed your letter in which you tell me
of your 'call' to Church and
asking if 1 will make the appoint
ment. In response, I must say that
both the church and yourself have
done an unlawful and mischievous
thing. That church has a pftstor at
present, a thoroughly devoted and
efficient man, to send an invitation
to another minister before the con
ference year is half gone is treating
the present pastor in a shltbby and
unbrotherly way. It is unsetting
him in the midst of his work and
virtually serving notice on him to
quit. This is a thing no Methodist
Episcopal church can do.
"When the conference comes it
will he proper for the brethren of
the chuhch to express their wish to
the appoiiWing power. It will also
bo perfectly in order for you to
tnake your judgment and preferen
ces known. But no appointments can
be made six months in advance
of the conference session—no ap
pointments can be made until the
conference meets.
"In the first place, I do not know
who will be assigned to preside at
your next conference, and any as
surance that I might give would not
bind another bishop. In the sec
ond place, if I should preside, it.
might not appear at the time to be
1 the best appointment either for the
I church or yourself, and my hands
ought not to be tied.
" 'Calls' to pulpits are quite right
in the Presbyterian and Baptist
Churches. That is part of their con
gregational system. But in a Meth
odist Episcopal church it is wholly
lawless. And a minister who ac
cepts such h 'call,* as you have done
Is equally lawless."
In conclusion, the bishop inform
ed the minister that he is "dealing;
with a principle and calling your
attention to an evil that has grad
ually grown up, and which is sure
to make more and more trouble."
Bishop Berry says that if he pre
sides at the next conference session
"there will be open shop," and he
will gladly hear the preferences of
' every church and every minister.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
Got Rudy to Help
"The funny part of the situation
• came the following day. Unholz and
! Nelson always had been friendly out-
I side of the ropes, despite the fact
j that Rudy was frank to tell Nelson
that some day he would whip.him
within an inch of his life. Rat al
j ways snorted loudly at such a thing.
J The day following the contest Rudy
j heard that Bat was in pretty bad
shape up in his room and decided to
| make a friendly call on him. This he
i did and he was received by Rat,
| a hose head was swathed in towel^.
"Well, Rat, I always knew what
) would happen if they let mo at you,'
; remarked Rudy. "I'm sorry, but I
j had to do it."
| "That's all right, Rudy; don't worry
j about me at all," Rat replied. "Sit
I down and help tne out a little while
! wire chatting. I'm st-ntling out
| some clippings of tlic tight.
Hastened Eml of Career
| "So Rudy took a chair and helped
1 Bat seal up a couple of hundred
| letters and newspapers addressed to
I all fiarts of the country. Then, in
! the goodness of his heart, Rudy put
i stamps on the mail matter and took
I the packages downstairs and dropped
i them In the mail box.
"Do you know what that feller i
j did to me?" Rudy aked
I a few days later. "Well, sir, one of'
the smallest papers in Los Angeled
gave Nelson a draw with me. He
bought up a lot of these papers and
i help him send out about 200 of
j them, and they all contained a roust
< on me for daring to slack up against
, a real champion like Nelson. Can you
j beat that for nerve? '
"The beating Unholz-gave Nelson
that night hastened the end. It. took
a lot. of the fast-oozing pep Out of
i Nelson and made him a readier vlc
j rim for Wolgast than he would have
' been otherwise."

Ty Cobb's For
Keeping in Condition
Tyrus Coob's simple rules for
keeping in physical condition, as
written by him for Lieutenant
Herman Soulhwick, an American
aviator, made such a hit with
General Kenly, chief of ai he raft
(♦oration, that they have been
printed for distribution to all
aviation camps both in this
country and overseas. The ad
vice is simple, sound and logical,
and any man may prolit by fol
lowing it whether he is an athlete
or not. Here is what Tyrus wrote:
"To win in any game your
stomach must have the best of
care. It is your power plant and
the one organ that keeps you go
ing. Now If your stomach is not
properly cared for it can put you
out of business in short order,
"Here are some points that I
have observed in the care of my
stomach, and they may interest
you. I am sure that they would
help any fellow to be a better
winner, a bettor flier, a clearer
visioned marksman and a come
back-alive hero, because any man
who faces bullets has paid iii ad
vance for every .service Ills coun
try can ever render .
"1. Exercise Is the keynote of
health, so take sorno exerc'se
every day, a mile walk and end
with a sprint. Exercise keeps tho
liver clear, and when one's liver
Is O. K. hft eye Is clear and his
nerve Is steady.
"2. Before a game I never cat
lunch. I go In on an empty stom
ach. If you eat before you go up
I would like to know from you
how much better you would fcpl
If you went "up light, how much
Clearer your eye Would be, how
much more acute your senses
would bo'.
"3, I never drink sweet milk
before a game (It fags the eyes)
and never drink coffee at night
or before a game.
"4. Smoke one cigar after each
meal, and no clgarets."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Freak Putting in Golf Wins Cup For
Boy of 18 Years on Pacific Coast
Golf Is planned for a great season i
in Harrisburg after the war stuff
quiets down. Reservoir links and the
Country Club's, considering the con
ditions, were freely patronised, but
the indications are that the oatrona
will be doubled when spring comes
along.
Recently a brisk discussion has been
going on as to the valt*e of consist
ent putting, and an Interesting critic
gives this feature first place in steady
golf playing. Says he:
"Although the long driver in golf
is a soul-inspiring fellow, and the
man who plays up to the hole with
deadly precision excites admiration,
neither of these is the opponent who
puts one out, Speaking generally, the
man who makes another nervous is
the adept <it putting. There .'s not
much doubt about It, the big half of
any well-contested match is fought on
the-putting green. Every one knov. s
how often the hole is gained or lost
on the tricky last yard f or, what is
equally to the point, failure to get
dead in the run-up on the green.
"It is this part of his game which
enables Charles Evans, Jr., national
amateur and open champion, to get
head and shoulders above the crowd.
How to Putt
"The pertinent question of 'How to
putt' (though this docs not guaran
tee the holing of the ball in a.wvln

thus by an authority: 'Carefully sur
vey the road to the hole, make up
your mipd on exactly what is to be
attempted, take up your stance, judge
your distance, thereafter concentrate
your whole attention on the ball and
its striking, and especially don't see
the hole or anything but the ball un
til the stroke Is made.'

and long for worlds to conquer with

while the genefal public may not be
aware of the Met,' Harrlsburg, Pa.,
has a football team that claims to be
the chanHplons of everything wltliln
twa looks and a holler of the burg.
"When Scott High triumphed over
Marolehcad, Harrlsburg Tech emerg
ed from conflict with a state cham
pionship, apparently, and, rooster
like, proceeded to climb up on the
highest hill.to crow at the Sun.
"A challenge was hustled off to
Scott High gillie the team with Its
cripples was sight-seeing In New
York. And. right away the news
papers telling of tho horrible things
Ttch would do to Scott when the lat
ter accepted the challenge,
"It was Monday or Tuesday before
Fred Slebert, Scott's faculty man
rger, managed to answer tho chal
lenge, and then It was to announce
that Scott had disbanded after the
game at Marblehead and could not
play nguln this year,
"Now some of the things they are
saylhg about Scott, In Harrlsburg,
to be able to answer with any legree
of certainty. Rut there's an 18-yenr
old anomaly out at Seattle, one J.eo
Steil, who has proven that it's pos
sible, at least. In a word, he switched
from cross-handed playing to the or
thodox style, and a short time after
ward won his first cup at Jefferson
Park, defeating his opponent by 9 up
nnd If to play.
"It may have been his very youth:
which helped §tell make the change,
for there are those who believe it
would be fatal If a player who took
up golf in middle life tried to switch,
or even change from left-handed to
right-handed play. Steil had never
been heard of until he turned in a'7s
in the caddie championship at the
Seattle Golf Club In 1915, ajid in the
final round of that event many of the
members followed the match.
"The gallery saw him take a -ross
handed grip of lya driver and hit the
hall "a mile" straight down the mid
dle of the course, that the lad
used one club after 1 another, and. un
less they had seen it, the golfers
wouldn't have believed that he could
get such results with his unorthodox
style. Every one agreed it wasn't
sound, because there was nothing ,n
golf books or in, the scheme of In
struction that could extricate him
from any faults into which his pe
culiar style might get him.
"His friends pleaded with him to
change, but he couldn't see it that
way. One day, however, he announced
to his opponent that he was going to
switch his grip, and quite naturally
he lost, his game being like that of a
novice. But from that day on he never
used a cross-handed grip, despite the
acft that he has had some hard times,
with heart-breaking experiences.
Even at that, his handicap was only
changed from 3 to 6. though for many
weeks he should.have had a rating of
20 or 26. Since he won his last cup
the hnndicappers have placed him at
3 again.

Mack denied that the American
League was guilty of ally acts of defi
ance against the National League, or
that there was a spirit of antugonism

Connie, "Is very anxious to have
amicable relations with the National
League. As a matte# of fact we laid
stress on the Willi as desiring com
plete harmony with our major league
competitor.
"None of the action relating to the
make-up of the commission or the
length of the schedule, or the date of
the opening game was binding. These
matters will be definitely decided
January 16, when the eight American
League and the eight National League
owners meet. I was surprised when
I read that it looked as if the Ameri
can League had snubbed the other
circuit." '
