By Charles ("Chick") Evans. The golfing business man h'aa a peculiarly good feeling on .the Monday succeeding a week-end spent in the enjoyment of his favorite sport. He may have gone to bed very tired the night before, but the fresh air and happy memories of a good game insure a good night's rest and he comes back to his work with new vigor. He mayhave left the office early on Saturday tired and discouraged, with no Interest
in life, but he returns to it on Monday
morning, exhilara
realizing how go
a world where there is to much to enJoy an interesting sport with pleasant companionship, and the fine appetite of the outdoor man. Truly not the least of these things is to be despised. Last- week's worries have disappeared and all of the troublesome problems have solved themselves. There is nothing like the fresh air on the links for sweeping the cobwebs away from one's brain. There is something very restful In a mental picture of a golf course the arching sky, the sweeping wind, tees and greens and fairway. If the golfer is a good sport he remembers his good shots, he does not complain over his bad ones, and he gently crows over the number of yards he outdrove Smith. In Imagination he sees his shots flying safely over hazards and lighting deftly within a few feet of the hole. Perhaps our golfer remembers the . short putt that lost him the match with his friendly rival, but there is no bitterness connected with that missed putt just a little tempering of the - gentle glow of neighborly competi- - tion. He knows that ordinarily he is
a much better player titan Smith. He . has learned a great any new things about the game, and at luncheon he ( tells his friendly neighbor all about his shots. His friends should not be too , hard upon this falling of our happy golfer. He is enjoying hts game for the second time, and the retrospect is j almost as pleasant as the original chase of the little white bal lover miles of course under the open sky.

OUIMET CHAMP UNDER PROTEST
Boston, Mass., Dec. 1. Francis Ouimet of Brookline, the youthful amateur whose victory in the United States open golf championship surprised the golfing world, told friends recently how nearly he missed winning the title. "I sigh now to think how I might never have had a chance at the championship," said Ouimet. "I did not want to compete in the United States Golf association's championship tournament. This was because I felt I had no chance to win. "During the tournament at Atlantic City, President Watson of the association asked me why I had not sent In my entry for the championship and I replied: 'What'a the use of a player of my standing attempting to compete in such an event. I don't want to make a boob of myself.' "'That's all right,' the president said, 'but we are trying to get a good entry of amateurs, so just hand in yours. "I did so, but as I turned away I said to myself, 'I'm doing this under protest.' " The rest ia recent golf history.

San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 1. Some fights have no atfermath. The ClabbyLogan affair is one of that order. For one thing, Clbaby was so much the master of the situation at all times that there are no pegs on which to hang arguments as to how different it
mignt nave Deen iz such and such a mistake had not been made. There were no mistakes. The men battled "true to form," and Logan did
Just about as well as the betting pre
dicted he would. Clabby goes east in a day or two by
way of Los Angeles. He has been offered a match with George Chin at
Milwaukee and the chances are he will accept. It was Chip who knocked out Frank Klaus a short time since. If Clabby meets and vanquishes Chip the victory will go a long way toward establishing Clabby's right to call himself middleweight -champion. Logan will have to begin again a little lower down the lader. Like Sailor Petroskey, he was a trifle too ambitious for a new man. It might not be a bad idea, for 'that matter, to send Logan and Petroskey together. They are game fellows and are so equal In the matter of class that a soldier-sailor bout seems to promise well.
WOLGAST READY
TO FIGHT WHITE If Mr. Johnny Dundee of New York will come up into this country tofight Sharlie White he'll leave with a blot on his record, according to Nate Lewis In a wire last night from New Orleans, where the easterner was given the shade of over the Chicago boy.

lor cnicago and immediately upon their arrival will open negotiations for a return match to be staged by one of the Milwaukee or Racine clubs.

Ad Wolgast is now ready to fight again, a thorough examination of the ex-champion's ribs, Injured in the Bat Nelson fight of several weeks ago, having revealed that he Is ready to step into the ring. The injury necessitated that calling oft of his scheduled go with White. The Cadillac citizen has wired Promoter Frank Mulkern that he will accept any date and any fighter after December 18. In his wire Ad mentions Charlie White as his first choice. - Lewis maintains that the New Orleans crowd was so hostile that he knew before the fight began that he would not receive a square deal. "Referee Burke let Dundee use his elbows and engage in other rough tactics, despite my protest," he says. "Promoter Tortorlch was a loser on the show. A barrel of money was bet on the newspapers' decisions. White and I lost heavily."

FEDERALS TO QUIT CHICAGO?. New York, Dec. 1. The Federal league promoters have decided to abandon Chicago and are planning; to take Milwaukee Into the circuit, according to a rumor started here today. ' James Gilmore, who backed the Chicago Feds last year, has come to the . conclusion that it would be a waste
of good money to compete with the
White Sox and Cubs for patronage next year, continues the story. ,
The promoters. It seems, gradually
are steering away from a conflict with
the major leagues and are scheming
to make-headway against the class A.
A. American association. Milwaukee, in their opinion, can support two teams with non-conflicting schedules, and for that reason the league Is ready to transfer the Chicago franchise to Milwaukee, where the American association had a pennant winner this year. Vice President E. C. Racey of the Chicago Federal league club said last night the story from New York was news to him. He asserted that President Gilmore had been placed In charge of affairs, and did not' know what he had done In the last week. Furthermore, Mr. Racey said he has not taken an important part in the business transactions of the club since the season closed. Mr. Gilmore was In Pittsburg yesterday.
MIDDIES WELCOM E DEFEATED NAVY Annapolis, Md., Dec. 1. The midshipmen greeted the Navy players with the utmost enthusiasm when they returned last night.
