While no orders regarding secret

Without barred portals. the coaches
claim the development of the highly

satictaction whatever with the po-
licy of allowing the eleven plenty of
opportunity to work in secret has
been shown at the university by un-
der-graduates or faculty.
The fact that every game is a big
affair under the regime of a. re-

work indispensable from the start.

NEW YORK. Sept. 15.—The in-
hrest of the boxing fraternity is not
centered 'on the tiresome heavy-
weight controversy. but on the com-
ing‘match between Dave Shade and
Mickey Walker for the welterweight
championship of the world, which is
to be staged at the Yankee Stadium
next Monday evening. There is go-
log to be a good deal of betting on
‘the tight. but yesterday the wager-

Question of whether Mickey Walker.

could make the prescribed weight.

the view that even if Mickey-does

weakened that he will prove a soft

This controversy. which raged in
lively fashion throughout the day.
led‘ one individual. a personal friend
of Jack Kearns. who is Walker’s
manager. to telephone the welter-

Bank yesterday afternoon. He was
told that Mickey Weighed 149 pounds
or two pounds over the figure that
he must make in the Offices of the

sion at 2 o‘clock on Monday after-

If this is the truth is seems fairly
reasonable to believe that Mickey
will make the weight without any
great difficulty. although it is acts

strong he will be.

the question of whichiboy is to meet

’ The writer stood at tho eighteenth
green with Freddie McLeod. the
Washington pro._ watching one of
the matches in the national amn-
teur golf championship at. Oakmont
several days ago.
McLeod's pride and pupil. young
Roland Mackenzie. the 18-year-old
medalist of the event, had Just been
eliminated.
“Bobby Jones will now go on to
win the championship.” remarked
McLeod. “He will win because he
is the only amateur in the country
who plays every shot prefectly.”
There is no better way to char-
acterlze Bobby Jones. He is the
perfect golfer.
Perhaps he is the first amateur
this country ever had who is capa-
ble of playing every shot exactly as
it should be played. From tee to
cup his more is absolutely flawless.
Consider some of the champions
of the past:
Walter Travis. who was winning
titles back in the days when swank
country club men drove prancing
bay colts. had a sound game but
was lacking. in distance both with
his woods and irons.
Jerry Travers. who won the title
four times. in two-year stretches.
was an erratic driver. Travers fre-
quently lost control of his woods on-
tirely. On one occasion is an
championship match he drova from
the teen with his cleek exclusively.
Chick Evans‘ lack of consistency
on the green forms one of. the bi-
zarre chapters of the national game.
There were times when Evans
would put as if endowed by a magic
touch. and at other times he would
be as helpless as if putting with a
tail feather from a. fledgling hum-
ming bird.
Francis Oulmet-thc Oulmet of
10 years back. was probably the
closest approach to the Jones of to
day. Francis played most of his
shots perfectly. If he had a weak-
ncss it was in his brassie play to the
green.
Francis exercised a perfenence for
the long iron shot. often to a point
where. he had to "press" for dis-

Sept. 15.—-(AP) Three American
distance running marks and a
world's relay record fell at the out-
door athletic games of New York
chapter. Knights of Columbus, in
the New York American League
baseball park last night.
Phenomenal running by Albert
(Whitey) Michelson in the winning
of the first national A. A. U. fifteen
mile championship accounted for
three new marathon ngures, while a
Greater New York relay team shat-
tered by six and three-fifths sec-
onds the world's mark for 2,400
yards made by an Irish-American
quartet in May, 1909.
Announcement was made by the
ofllcials that Michelson had broken
three American distance records in
his victorious race. stepping 12 miles
in 1:06:40; 19 miles in 1:12:21 3-5
and 14 miles in 1:18:09 9-5. The
former marks. made by Jim Crowley
of the Irish American A. C. in
1909. werenoozfitl 8-5 for 12 miles;
1:12:49 3.5 rot is miles. and
1:18:56 3-5 for 14 miles. He failed
by 20 seconds and a fraction to

—-(AP). Form prevailed throughout
in the National Tennis club yester-
day. not a. single upset occurring.
So true was the play to form that
only four sets were lost by the 14
American and foreign seeded stars.
In the '27 matches played. only.
seven went to four sets while two
others were dragged along to inc
limit of five sets to arrive at a de-
cision.
William '1‘. Tildcn, l: . of l'hiia-

plan, had little trouble eliminating
his fellow rtownsman. Carl Fischer.
despite the score. 'l‘iiden toyed with
his rival.,softc:iing up his service
and his drives until pressed for a
point when he applied the pressure
and rode through safely.
In the first test. the champion
took a bit too much liberty with his.
opponent and came to a. position:
where Fischer was within a. point of
the set but the titleholder brought
into force his dynamic service and
Fischer's first and.last chance to
embarrass the champion by win-
ning a set faded into the bygone.

Kinsey Scared.

.‘ilasonosuke Fukuda. of Japan when
the little Oriental took the first set
at 6-4. but Kinsey came back to
win the next three sets and the
match.
Twelve foreigners started today's
play and four dropped by the way-
side. onc by the default route and
three on the field of battle. Max
llecugis, captain of the French Da-

his match to Alfred H. Chapin. Jr..

TERRII’IC SLUMP.
The failure of the Athletics to go
the route has been a. shock to the
thousands of fans who were pulling
for Connie Mack.
In the second division since 1914.
public opinion was strongly with the
astute and able Connie in his sur-
prising comeback in 1925.
No one figured the Athletics as a
pennant contender in the spring. yet
from the start of the season until
Labor Day. the Muckmen were
strongly in the running.
True. they are not yet mathe-
matically out of the race. but the
odds are strongly against them.
Many of the baseball experts pre-
dicted the Athletics would fail in the
crisis. basing their belicf merely on
the youth and inexperience of the
team as a. whole.
Now
in the
“I told
their inning.
"My club is going to be just. as
good as the players think it is.” re-
spring. “I feel that l have a great
ball club. All I need to do is to get
the players feeling the same."
With 100 games out of the way
and the Athletics out in front by
a. fair] comfortable margin. I was
convim that the club believed ih
itself. I didn't look for the team
to fade as it. did. . .

In the 18 games the Reds and
Phillies have played this season the

age soft picking. It has tripped the
Phils more times than it has any
other club.

simply checked their extra base hitsl
for more than a month in the home
stretch.
As is usually the cast when things
are breaking badly. an error or a
base on balls invariably resulted in
a run.
Pitchers. who had been winning
consistently all season. just couldn't
get going. Take the case of Ed
Rommel for instance. The brilliant
knuckle-ball artist won 2'0 games in
the firsb four months. then went
about four weeks before he could
capture his 2lst victory.
However. it was in'base-running
that the Athletics slumped worse
than in any other department of'
play. That is a. rather freak situa--
tion.
A slump on the bases is the un-
usual. yet the Athletics in their long
losing streak threw more games
away because of poor base-running
than in any other manner.

In the. crisis the inexperience of
the club was a more vital factor in
its poor finish than anything else.
The Athletics are n real elubfiles-
tined to make history in the Amer-
ican League.
- CASE OF PIRATES.
No doubt some folks'will charge
the failure of the Athletics to lack
of courage.
Such a criticism is most undo-
served. The Athletic players gave
everything that wall in them.
