C Irwin Buys An Over. HARIME B. IRWIN, the husky veteran racer of thoroughbreds, forked over $25,000 for horseflesh the other day. Irwin bought All Over, crack dis tance horse, late of the New York tracks, from the Oakridge stable. All Over, a 4-year-old son of King James, broke the Tanforan track record the tirst time out under the Irwin colors. The Cheyenne horseman lias been racing his thoroughbreds at Tia juana for some time, but has yet to win the Coffroth handicap, a race he has spent thousands of dollars trying to land. One year he sprang Rifle and al most got down to the tvire first, but tlie plater cracked in I lie final drive and lost out to Be Frank. A year later ftlfle and Regreso finished second and third for Charlie. ^ Last year Abadane was the prize of the Irwin stables. Omahans re member this fleet-footed critter that won the King's Derby out at Ak track. Last March, had Abadane been eligible, he probably would have coasted in first. He was overworked at nominating time and Irwin had only a couple of cheap platers to start, so didn’t get a sliqe of the juicy purse melon. Now another winter race season has started at Tlajuana and Charlie Irwin is on deck with even a larger stable than he had last seasot. Abadane, the pride of Charlie’s string hV 1923 is feeding in the Y6 barns this year, hut not as the pride. He has given way to All Over. Following the Omaha meeting Irwin went east in search of horse flesh. He wanted a high class horse capable of carrying the Irwin colors to victory. All Over can pack weight and likes long distances. His breeding marks him as a runner of quality. Jrwin, one of the best Judges of horseflesh iq the business today, believes he has a hot'se, which under fair weights, will prjve a big money winner this season. B Malone's Stock Jumps. OCK MALONE, crack middle weight of St. Paul, stuck a feath er in hb» cap the other night in Boston when he stopped George Ward, welter, in the third round of their scheduled 10-round bout. Ward, who halls from Elizabeth, N. J., was considered one of the leading welterweight contenders of Hie east. He held decisions over Shade, Schoell and had fought Walker to no-deeision fights. According to reports of the battle, Ward was knocked down four times. Malone’s stock slumped when he lost to Billy Wells, tha English w elterweight, but it has taken an other Jump. ' All Star Train Idea Old. THE open gar.non on all-thls and all-that football teams Is In order. Walter Camp started selecting all American football teams 35 years ago. For the first 10 years Mr. Camp didn’t look any farther west than the Ohio river. - , • The first player from the west lo win a berth on Mr. Camp’s team as Billy Iteston of the tniver " sity of Mu lligan. All of this hap pened in 1903. Next came Walter Eckersall of Chicago. Me held the honor of be ing the only man from the west to make Camp’s big team three i straight seasons. In 1907 "Germany" Schultz of Michigan, now line coach at Ne braska, was selected among the western football stars. He was so powerful in his position that he could not be denied the glory and Mr. Camp didn’t overlook him. Of the 385 players selected fsr Mr. Camp’s first eleven for 35 years only 34 were chosen from the west. Of the 34, some were the selection more titan once, as the rase of Eckersall, who was chosen for three consecutive seasons.

JAMES BRAID TELLS: , My Mont Accurate Mashie Shot My Best Played Hole Breaking a Club to Win BELIEF'In yourself Is a prime es sential to .success In golf. Lack of confidence retards the man who may have every natural ability. Of course, a man must acquire skill to fortify his confidence. But, putting aside the ctlse of the ir.nn who is born and bred to the game, the sort who becomes a pro fessional, or a high class amateur, there is not doubt that the playdr who feels "in his bones" that he can make good makes better progress than the one who fears htS own ability. Often I have seen a middle-aged man of the former type develop a better game than a younger, more active and better conditioned one of the latter type. A play which I was lucky enough to make at the opening of the Rothesay course, near Glasgow, Scotland, in 1909, which I consider the most accurate masliie I ever made, illustrates my meaning. 1 was a member of a foursome which Included Harry Vardon, Ben Sayers and Arnaud Massey, the French champion, Vardon and my self being teamed together. On one hole, my tee shot got into rough at the foot of a high haw thorn hedge. The ball lay about three feet from the roots of one of the hawthorns, with the liedg^ be tween It and the green, some 60 yards away. After careful examination, I found in the hedge an opening, perhaps a foot square, through which the pin was visible. Using my mashie, I waa| able to put the ball through this opening without so much as disturbing a leaf. It stopped within a few feet of the pin, permitting me to hole out with one putt. Of course, this play was made pos sible by long experience, during wUfh I had won five British open rhlbiplonghfps. But It was only exe cuted because the confidence that It could be done was in me. ( When you are confronted by dif ficult hazard* visualize the play as it must be made. Then forget the liaiards and play tlio hail as you would If you had an unobstructed lie In the fairway. You’ll have more successes than you’d think. At Prestwick, in an exhibition match with Andrew Klrkcadtiy, I had another play which did not re quire extraordinary skill, but did call for confidence. My hall lay be hind a five-foot wall, about three feet from Its base and 50 yards from the green. The danger of this play was that the ball might hit tho wall ami re bound. possibly with serious Injury to me. I believed that I could get It over the obstacle, in fact never had a thought that I wouldn't. My niblick shot was successful and I made the green easily. My Beet Played Hole. TIIE duffer has small use for a sliced ball. Nevertheless, the slice U useful —If you can make It when you want to, and then. only. As good golf as I ever played was that on the fifteenth hole at Cardross In 1922, when Harry Vardon and I opened the extended course. I had had charge of the construe (Ion of the fifteenth hole. There had been fhoBe who had felt that It had 'keen made unnecessarily difficult, ami I felt an Interest In convincing the critics that the par 5 ought real ly to be bogie 5. The hole is a dog-leg, measuring 520 yards. The first eti'oke has to be played along the side of a wood, for a dis tance of about 200 yards. The second stroke must be played at right angles to the first, with the pin more than 300 yards distant from the comer of the wood. On both the morning and after noon round I played a brassie from the tee. On each occasion the ball flew straight down the fairway un-1 til it reached the corner of the wood, when it took a distinct slice to the right and advanced about 25 yards toward the pin. There was no wind hlowing and I heard one of the gallery ask Var don: '‘Did Braid play that shot?” Harry laughingly replied: “That's one of Jamie's easy strokes.” 1 hope I may not he sec used of conceit In repeating this incident. I merely mention It to emphasize the fact that a slice may have Its uses and that the duffer who suffers from unintentional slicing would do well to ascertain the cause or causes. Having learned liow to avoid alir ' ing, he also will learn how to make use of it—II he perseveres suffi ciently. At any rate, having rounded the wood on my drive in the morning round, I laid my brassie within 10 yards of the green, chipped a mashle close to the pin and took a four. in the afternoon, after an identical drive- my second shot, was into the rough and my third short of the green. However, T sank a mashle fourth, and thus twice demonstrated, to my own tnlnd at least, that par on the hole could as well have ben four as to have ben five. Breaking a Club In Win. THERE are a lot of anecdotes which have for their theme the supposed thrlfllnesa of the Scotch golfer—such as the one about the old fellow who announced his In tention of emitting the game and, when asked his reason, explained that he had loBt his ball. Wlialever may Iw our tendencies, I must say that we forget them if a match Is at stake. The sacrifice of my favorile cleek in one of the many British open championships in which I played Is an example. On a long hole, everything de pended nn my reaching the green on my second shot. When I came up with my ball 1 found It In a cupped lie, with only Its top visible. The only club that would carry the green whs my deck. “Give It to me,” I told my caddla. "I'm certain to break the shaft, but I must make the green,” He shook his head sorrowfully ns he compiled. “ 'Tis a bonny club,” he muttered. I dug the turf mightily. Sure enough, the shaft snapped off clenn ly. But the hall flow straight to the green. It was a step toward victory afu| was worth the price. (Cgpyrlzht.

New York, Dec. 1.—According to a quoted statement drifting in from the mlddelwest. Ban Johnson has emerged from the silence long enmyrh to inter view himself on the subject of George Sisler as a managerial proposition. George, according to Mr. Johnson, is just about'’a wind-blown, flannel moatlied certainty to achieve success as team loader of the St. Louis Browns next season. Nothing could be more certain. Ban intimates, not even the departure of yesterday's twilight. Among other things, our Mr. Johnson delivered himself of the fol lowing on the Sisler matter: "Ho has just the temperament to make a successful manager. A natur al leader of men, Sisler is a baseball strategist with few equals, and his foresight, so remarkable in bis own play, will b© even more apparent In his work as a manager. “The chief criticism of Sisler in the past has been his reputed lack of ag gressiveness. The truth of the matter is that Sisler is one of the most ag gressive players In the game. Simply because he does not threaten umpires and bellow at every play is no indica tion of a lack of fighting spirit. He is in the game every minute—de termined, confident and resourceful. I 'look for him to bring the Browns hack into the race as strong pennant Contenders. "Sisler apparently, needs pitchers. He lias an excellent outfield, and next year, with George back at first base, the Browne will have the best infield in the American league.” New York fans will take Issue with our Mr. Johnson on this last declara tion, however. And not without due reason. It is a matter of doubt whether the Brown Infield of Sisler, McManus, Gerber and Kzell outranks the PippAVardSeott Dugan combina tion of the Yankees.

You can wander around in woods for 20 days, hut they allow you privilege of signing tabs for eajs and drinks. Winter golf season Is now on.
