Hammond's star j wrestler and sp'or.dld athlete, is j now attached to headquarters divi-! sion wit American Expeditionarv Forces at Somewhere in; France. An interesting communication from him came to THE TIMES this morning but the man to whom it was addressed is on his way over and won't write the story. Curley is in the thick of the fight. A part of his letter, that is the censored part, says: "Leslie Parry. "Sporting Editor TIMES: "I had a day off today and I surely do appreciate the rest. Tomorrow I will go back m No Man's Land or at least on the day following. "It's wonderful. I'm seeing the horrors of war all right, all right. This is some death grapple and we have sure gone to the mat with the kaiser. "The other day a couple of Indi ana boys were killed here but 1 1 couldn't get their names you or I j would give them to you. "Hammond is certainly well represented 'over here.' I have seen quite a number of Hammond boys at the front. "Good luck to you. "Your pal, "CURLEY DAVIS." m CUV V 9 9 9 ts Afro ajf W9 tssv AA.EB.IC AN LEAGUE. V.

A STAR Theatrical Industry Ended With Fighting Bob Fitzsimmons. "What's become of all the prize fighters who used to go on the stago arfi star in m iodram a?" a friend asked the other night. Then I remembered that for the first time in a score of years, there Is not a single play on the, road with an exehampion pugilist liilii'.g the leading role. John I,. Sullivan used to star in 'Honest Hearts and Willing Hands" and crowds flocked to see htm. Corbett. in a piay called ' Tals." made a fortune and looked awfully swell In the role, of a midshipman. BitzsimmcTiS used to star in the old play of "Box and Cox" and the "Village Blacksmith," and right on tln stage Lob made and gave away horseshoes. ' It is thirteen years ago since Jim Jeffries took the road with "Pavy Crockett." and about that time Terry M.-iJnvi rn was playing Spike, the news1 . y. !;-. tb, o'.t ".'tr--ts of New . . k.' Jeffries as "Davy Crockett." Who that saw him will ever forget big Jim when he tried to play the part of Pavy Crockett, made famous by Brank Mayo? When the curtain went up on the opening act Jeffries was revealed dressed tip just as Mayo used to dress the part in the olden times. You saw Davy looking up at the mountain top, one foot on the mountain path and the other on the stage, and then you heard him get oft that famous line: "Be sure you're right ahead." Puring the play Jim around the stage like a and then go w ouH tramp i big flephafit. and just before the curtain ,fe!l on the last net his stage mother would ask: "Are yi. u still right. Davy?'' "Sure, mother." "Ti: n go ahead." Tlun big Jim would make a dive for the villain and the ru'-tatn wou'd fall amid tremendous applause.

Sven hundred additional rackets end balls have recently been ordered. Ir. Itaycroft announces the appointment of Mikii Orrisn, widely known in boxing circles in the middle west, as boxing instructor at Ft. Bliss, Texas. T. IMnsmore I'pton. known to thousands of enlisted men as Dinny Upton, has been enlisted by Pr. Itaycroft to the position of athletic director at Oamp McArlliu Texas, t.'ntil iiis appointment, by Dr. Kayornft yr fpton was T. M. t". A. athletic director at the aviation camp at Waco. Texas. Patrons and devotees of the fistic art will be gratified to know of the appointment of Tom Olbbons. the middleweight, to the post of divisional boxins Instructor at Oamp Meade. Admiral, Md. The appointment was offjcinlly announced today by Dr. IIa croft. Oibbons w ill assume his duties immediately. Tom is the brother of the famous Mike Oihbons, boxing instructor at Oamp Podge. Mike Oibbons has perfected a system whereby virtua'iy every soldier at Oamp Podge becomes proficient with the use of his fists. Entire, regiments are daily schooled in boxing drills. Tom Gibbons says he wtil employ the same system used by hi brother when he starts in at Oamp Meade. money out of it. He nutt early, and when he quit he told bis friends that he hated the stage and everything connected with it. Apart from elocution, there have been worse actors than Jeff. SulllvauTa "Mother and Me." John L. Sullivan used to buy every play that was off-red him. One dramatic writer in Xew York made a fine living by just writing plays for the Iion pugilisi. not. one cf which was ever produced. AH the big fellow e-er nked of the Play writers was that they put in a good part for "mother and me " In his plays the mother was always the leading lad-.-. John L. was strong for mothers and he would rot touch a play unless the mother was "it." The mother was always being surprised by the tax rollei tor, the gat man, the butcher, 'he grocer, the sheriff or se,me other pest, and when mother would call on Jonn L. for assistance the big fellow would proceed to b'at up the caller and all others in re.-o h. "Yes. mother." was the cue for the pests to ge j-eady to receive a beating and when John L. said "Yes. mother ," in that deep bass voice f,f hi, the pests braced themselves so as to be alio to receive the shock which came when th veteran went over the top after them. Sheriffs, collectors and others in the Sullivan roinpani.-s generally resigned at the end of the first wee s engagement without giving in rh-ir usiril two weeks' notice, and often th pugilist had to bribe them as well as ray their doctor bill. Terry McOovern went on playing "Spike th" Newsboy" unli! he went nearly daft on the subject. One day In Xew York 1 disappeared from the theater and after a long search he was found wandering the streets in the busiest part o,f the big town and peddling newspapers with a lot of newsboys. Picked up by the police and brought into a station, it was found that he was demented, and it triok his family some lime to bring, him back to his senses. In fact, .from then ti Terry wa never quite himself, and many of his friends asserted that it was his very strenuous work on the s.age that h'nl unbalanced him, Hal B'-id, who wrote n'flrty of the melodramas for the old pugilist, had a standing order to put in as many villains as possible, and so there were al ways two or three villains in the pugilist I plays and nearly always they had understudies, for tho villains were beaten up so early and often that regular substitutes for them were an absolute necessity. Old Gccrge Ade writes The T'MES sporting editor from Hazelden, a letter which will be of much interest to golfers In this vicln'ty: If r.u are interested in the game of golf you will see H played as it should be played, at the Hazelden Golf Club, adjoining George Ade's private home two miles east of Brook, Ind . at 2:30 p. m. on July lth. If you don't know so much about golf or have a suspicion that , it is a foolish kind of pastime, see it played by experts and possibly you will hae a new respect for it. The big exhibition match at Hazelden will bo for th benefit of .the Bed Cross. Ba-h person witnessing the play will be expected to buy and wear a badge which will cost $1.
