THE COMING SPORT

Bp DICK ANDKRBOK IS golf going to take the place of baseball as our foremost national sport? You may scoff at the suggestion. But sporting goods manufacturers estimate that at least 2,000,000 Americans are golfers. A GOODLY portion of the two million are knocking the ball around in our own city. It is almost impossible to walk down the street without noticing a man or woman carrying a golf oag. Our office boy played last night. The municipal golf links in Indianapolis are making the wide reach of the sport possible here. Thev will not be sufficient to care for the number who will rush to use them In a short time. The shortage of golf courses for the person of moderate means drives home the principle tha.t America has made practically no provisions for recreational sports for the people. For everyone that plays golf there are five that would be if they could. The price of getting into a good golf club is prohibitive to the average man. IF golf ever does dethrone baseball, it will be a good thing for the national health. The baseball fan rarely plays the game. He sits and watches professionals play. For this reason baseball in America is fast losing its standing as a sport. It is a form of theatricals. The golfer is not a grand stand loafer. He gets out and plays. Golf is sometimes sneered at as a namby-pamby game, but only by those whose knowledge of it is limited. Golf as an exercise is the most scientific sport ever devised. It combines the benefit of long-distance walking with the swinging-on-the-baU that brings nearly every muscle in play. Good golf courses, available to the public at low cost, are needed as much as good roads—possibly more. Golf may be the magic tonic for civilization’s ills caused by lack of exercise.

SPORT CASH CUSTOMERS NOW DO OWN THINKING

Bu EDDIE ASH Matching Benny Leonard with sec-ond-raters is bad business judgment on the part of promoters. Floyd Fitzsimmons discovered the fact last Saturday when the Hammer-Leonard bout at Mich.gan City proved a financial frost for the backers of the affair. The boxers were the only persons connected with the entertainment who profited. Ring fans fire not easily fooled. They can s.ze up a match in their oilt'n minds and they usually act accord.ngly. Boxing fans know Benny Leonard is too good for men of Hammer's class. Benny is almost in a class by himself and boxers of Ham.tier’s rating haven't a chance with h.m. Promoter Fitzsimmons played his Michigan City show big, was generous and anx.ous to please. Leonard was p.ctured as being in poor shape as a result of the Tendler bout and for th s reason it was explained by the boosters that Hammer would have a chance. But the army of fisticuff followers did their own thinking. They didn’t attend in big numbers. Built-up challengers stand little show with Benny. The fans know it, for they’ve seen the lightweight champion perform many times. Only the very good can give him a fight. The Hammer-Leonard bout was another lesson for the promoters. Sport cash customers demand their money's worth these days. Tom Phillips, late of Washington but now of Minneapolis, stood out on the Washington Park mound Tuea day and flipped his benders over In puzzling fashion. The ultimate result was that when nine Innings had been played, the Minneapolis Millers had three runs and the Indians owned a row of ciphers. And in scoring the victory Phillips blanked Harry Weaver, one of ths league's best. But Harry was not wholly responsible for the events of the afternoon. He pitched well enough, but his mates refused to Join out in a ly run-making celebration. In the first, second and third innings the Millers scored. After tbAt they got only thue safeties off the Tribe youth. He cut ’em off effectively, but bis mates couldn’t gather enough speed to overcome the short lead the Millers obtained before Harry settled down. In the eighth the Indians had a chance when they filled the bases with one out, but the next two batters were easy outs and all hands were left stranded. The fielding of Shortstop Defate was a feature. He handled thirteen chances,

SLAMS ENGLISH FANS Bp United News BOSTON, Aug. 9.—The “unsportsmanlike” attitude of English tennis fans, together with the expense involved, will keep Gerald Patterson, captain of the Australian tennis team, from defending his world's title at Wimbledon in 1923. In makings this announcement here Patterson said he did not believe the Wimbledon tournament was universally recognized as a world’s championship.

Bp United Sews NE YORK, Aug. 9.—Vincent Richards, still a boy wonder of the courts, notwithstanding h.s sprout.ng whiskers and some defeats m this season’s minor tournaments, will soon know whether or not he has made this year’s Dav.s cup team. The Davis cup committee of the Un.ted States Lawn Tennis Association will select the Davis cup deefnders at noon Wednesday and their choice will be made known by Friday afternoon. Bill Tilden and Little Bill Johnston are regarded as certain to be chosen for the singles. The tw’o doubles : players will be selected from R.

The members are Robert Wrenn, George ' Odee, Sam Hardy, Holcombe Ward and Beals Wright. The challenge round of the Davis cup tournament will be played at Forest Hills, L. 1., beginning Sept. L

line assists and four put-outs. Outfielder Earl Smith has joined the Millers. He reported Tuesday afternoon, signed a contract before the game and took a workout with his new mates. He formerly played with the Browns and Washington Senators. Veteran Sherry Magee saw the new player s.tting on the bench and old Sherry stepped out and got himself three hits. Wise man, Magee. The Tribe slump does not seerr. to bother Steve Yerkes. He fielded faultlessly Tuesday and got two of the Indians’ six hits. Tom Phillips has qyeer ways. His batting record Tuesday consisted ..f two hits' and two strike-outs Reb Russell is knocking down all the fences in the National. In a twin b.ll Tuesday he got eight hits, four being doubles and one a circuit clout. Now If Russell only would send his slugging prescription to the Indians all would be well w.th Elwell. Fellow citizen G?orge Danes turned back the heavy hitting Yankees Tuesday. If you are not getting your share of sport entertainment this week It’s not because your favor.te pastime hasn’t been featured. Ball bats, guns, tennis racquets, golf clubs and swimming trunks all are getting a workout.

NIG TIP IS OUT TUT PIRATES WIIiJMR FUG ‘Funny’ Stories Out About Last Year’s Slump—ln Winning Streak Now. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Rather strange movements have been made during the last week among the boys who wear the loud clothes and the big rocks. While most of the fans are picking New’ York or St. Louis to win the National League pennant, many of the big gamblers are taking the short end that the Pittsburgh Pirates will play one end of the world series. Tip Says Fifteen Straight Five days ago a tip sent out of Pittsburgh into New York carried the information that the Pirates would win fifteen straight games, take the lead in the race and cinch the pennant by the middle of September. The fact that the Pirates have already won ten straight makes the story interesting, to say the least. Some of the stories going around are too far fetched. One of them being passed out now is that the Pirates blew the pennant last year so that the Giants could get into the big money from an all-New York series and that a promise was made to allow the Pirates to have it this year. Look Like World Beaters In the last series with the Glanis they looked like world beaters and the class of the league and they still look good. They have been within striking distance of the lead all season and they are still in a position to step out and win with a spurt
