' i e* /v Ac*'on , GREAT GAME OF GOLF DUE FOR SOME BIG CHANGES HR effect of the edict prohibiting the use of ribbed and punched dubs in cham pionships of 1914 la causing much speculation among golf play ers. The punched clubs were used by virtually very crack of the i-ountry, both amateur and pro fesslonal, in champion ship jousts and it would be idle to say that no difference would be noted in the play of those who for several sea sons have used the slotted irons. Reverting to the smooth faced irons will have much the tame effecj on golf that the abolition of freak de liveries did in baseball. It will oc casion a break down in the play of many stars until such time as they are able to regain the faculty of im parting back spin to the ball by nat ural skill rather than the employment of mechanics. Conclusive proof that punched clubs were a mighty assert in the game could have been found at Troon, on the morning preceding the British open championship, last spring. A no tice on the club bulletin board in formed all contestants that nothing but smooth-faced irons would be per mitted in the tournament. Proa with ribbed or punched irons immediately procured files and set about smoothing off the faces of their clubs. Among this group was Johna thon Henry Taylor—admittedly the greatest mashle player of the game. It; was Taylor who brought the mashle into prominence and developed the fullest possibilities'' of that club. But the great .Tage had fallen for the ribbed irons, realizing that with these clubs mashie shots would not drift from their landing places. More over, In England it had reached the point where midirons as well as mashies were being punched to give a hack-spin and no one knows just where the craze would have ended. While Hie punched clubs are assets .to many players they are liabilities to others. ,101111 G. Anderson, the Siwanoy amateur and one of the lead ing critics in the country, commented on this when Sarazen and Hagen en ! gaged in the finals of the P. O. A. championship at Pelhain Manor. He pointed out that the ribbed clubs induced the smothering of the hall and it took the punch out of Hagen’s game. And Hagen’s game in general suffered from this cause. The amateurs, it would seem, will suffer less from the ban on the punched irons than the pros. Several among them, declared at Flossmoor that they had worked sufficiently with smooth-faced irons to be able to con trol the ball. And Ouimet believes that It can really be controlled better under certain conditions than with the prohibited weapon^ The reversion to the old style irons, the eventual introduction of a lighter ball, probably will bring golf back to the style taught a decade ago. Again It may not. But the style of teeing the ball high and slugging down on It n» longer will produce the distance that the present ball does and other shots will change In turn. New conditions, or rather the going back to old ones, is likely to develop a crop of stylists along the line of Jones, Ouimet, Evans, Mac Smith and others who brought the style of St. Andrews and Carnoustie with them to this country. _ Amateur Boxers Please at 0.

Detroit, Nov. 7 —Plnltey Mitchell of Milwaukee defeated Hid Barbarian of Detroit in a 10-round bout here last night In the opinion of newspnper men. They fought »l catch weights, each weighing under MS. B was Mitchell's second victory over the De troit boxer, I ' t BelieVe Kit. Or Not AM CALIjWELL, known through out sportdom ns a major leaguer when it comes to hunting snipe, returned a few days ago from the sand hills. He brought with him a few snipe< a couple of ducks, a chicken or two and the darndest story of the season. Says he: Believe it or not, a rancher told me of a couple of fellows who were shoot ing on Swan lake and using decoys. Theee decoys were the usual cedar blocks, but, Instead of weights cuid balancers on the bottom of them, they had a tiny pulley wheel on their backs. They were strung on a cir cular wire which ran about six feet above the blind. When a flock was sighted, these hunters pressed a but ton attached to an electric battery and the decoys flew around the blind like a train on a track. It Is believed by Omnhans who have heard the tale that the hunters are the same fellows who took a portable phonograph out with them and used a duck-call record to quack in their mallards. Tad Jones Faces a Big Handicap With Yale picked far and wide to beat Princeton and Harvard, Tad JoneM faces a handicap of no light proportion. He knows what It means to enter a big game as a top-heavy favorite. It Is almost Impossible under this han dicap to instill the needed despera tion in a team. It Is for this reason that Oil Dobie, with the most suc cessful record ever known to any coach, sheds bitter tears before each battle and informs his team that only the most terrific uphill fighting will stave off annihilation—defeat by 40 or SO points. Dobie is king of the gridiron psy chologists In this respect. Even where the team had expected to win by three or four touchdowns, he work* his organization Into a lie lief that victory' can come only after the last ounce la given. Tad Jones knows that Princeton and Harvard are going to be a lot better when Yale comes along than they have shown to date. Yet It Is no easy task to make the Yale team believe this In the face of constant statements that "This is Yale's year." Prohibit Wrestling Matches. Dong Beach, Cal., Nov. 7.—An or dinance prohibiting wrestling in the city of I,eng Beach has been passed by the council and will become ef fective In 10 days.

Young Schwab was always athletically inclined and is a star basket hall and football player, being captain of the eleven at Stivers High school, where he plays a star game. He Is called by experts one of the best hacltfh Id men among national scholastic players.

The referee charged Roaenberg with using the back of hla glove. They are middleweight*. . _ Another Baseball War Brewing __r> By DAVIS J. WAI.Sll EW YORK, Nov. 7.—Those hardy old irrec oncilables, Judge Landis and Ban Johnson, are reaching toward hip again with the idea of shooting it out for the control of baseball, according to well-informed sources. The war, if any, will be started by Johnson, they say, and finished by Landis, who happens to nit In the driver'* seat with a contract eo uncompro miainir ae to (five him absolute power. He will need It. It Is »ai<l that Judicious efforts are being made by the Johnson faction to discredit Kamils and his admin istration at every turn. Indirect propaganda, dealing only with generalities and lnuendoes. have been used for this purpose, It Is alleged. The business In question has been taken by the Knndia element to mean that a determined effort will soon bo launched against the Judge's control of the game. ft ha* even heen Intimated that f.andis will be approached by "friends” who will point out to him the expediency of tendering lii* resignation. One baseball man recently went an far aa to declare that some of the cluh owners would he satisfied to pny l-anrlls his sal lary for the duration of hi* run tract If he would step down from the throne. I'pon which the judge's local spokesmen make the state ment that l.anrils will serve the seven years of Ills rnntrnrt whether hnsehnll llhes it or not. Baseball Is "fixing" for a fight again. I.nndls himself mads some few political enemies when he awnrd ed to charity the proceed* of th* 1921 world's series gnrtie. rolled In the 10th Inning, without consulting John son or John A. Hcydlcr. Be re merited this hostility hy making ar rangementa fur the Inst series with Johnson and lleydler Ignored. Ileyd l*r even wasn't aware that the meet ing was being held until notified of the outcom* by the newspaper* i The propagandists, of course, had heen working on tha Judge for some time previous to tlila breach of etiquette. However, not all of slhe adverse comment Is actual T»n>|mgnn<l». Some u( it cornea from men who helped to elevate Ijindia to hi* position, after the New York, (lilrncn and Itoaton clulia of the American hail taken deep and laat Ing Issue with Johnson on Ills eon trol of baseball, wllli particular ref erence to hi* decision In the famous May* ease. On that oeeaalnn. the National league In Into lined up with the anti Johnson trio and voted l.andls Into one of th# biggest and most highly paid ntTleea In public life Some are »nld to have lived to regret It. The Judge, It la Intimated, ta entirely too arbitrary to suit some of them. I tilt at the time of bis alnvntlnn. Ihey signed an agreement to refrain from all public criticism of haaehsll officials and colleague*. Tied hand nnd foot by bonds of thetr own making, they have onlv on* recourse, to-wlt, propaganda t TOMMY GIBBONS WANTS TO BOX CARPENT1ER AND THEN JACK UmOMMT GJUBONR is mighty eager to meet Georges t'arpentier.” said I Eddie Kane, manager for Gibbons, yesterday. "But Tommy is through boxing these prominent fellows for nothing. If anybody in the world will tell me why we should fit into an internationally popular fistic errtbroglio in order to enable the French boy to line his pockets with the gold of Uncle Sam and see him rush right home wi’h it, they can enlighten me. “It is the best match In the world today, that between Carpentler and Gibbons. We know It, Tex Rickard Is keenly alive to the fact and Pes camps, who arranges details for Car pentier, in not ignorant of the fact. Is Carpentler any more popular than Gibbons? Is he? Well, remember this: Carpentler was knocked out in four rounds by the champion and Gibbons went fifteen rounds wtth the same tltleholder. "Not only that in spite of all mouthfngs to the contrary that the public has been regaled with since that time, Just as soon an the fif teenth round had ended in Shelby the first words out of Tommy's mouth as he returned to his corner were these—“Get that fellow for twenty rounds with me, Eddie!" This latter statement came In the nature of a surprise. On stories that had flooded the wiren many were led to the belief that Gibbons could not have gone another round, or two more, or three at most. Some have offered the advice that Pempsey could have taken the St, Paul boy any time after the tenth round. In contradiction of this illy-founded notion and In justification of the Gibbons' belief that a twenty-round journey would better determine the victor, It scarcely yt necessary to go back to a rehearsal of the important details of the bout. Olympics Making Ready for Contest More than 50 fans have already made preparations to travel to Sioux City Sunday to root for the Omaha Olympics when they play their only out-of-town game of the season. The contest will be between the Olympics and the Sioux City post team of the Disabled Veterans association. The Disabled veterans fail to show any disability in their team lineup. They have gone through the season so far undefeated and expect to put Sunday's game away quickly. Gene Leahy, former Creighton star, was out of the Olympic lineup last Sunday. He was incapacitated with a badly wrenched %nee. The injured Cgpidift "StauZ/c-j WaJstt, [ member, however, Is In much better shape and it is hoped that he will be back in the lineup against Sioux City. The Olympics have gone through a lot of tough drilling so far this week in preparation for the game and ex poet to work out again today. Denny Ryan is making every effort to perfect the aerial defense and of ftnse of the team. Rast Sunday the aerial game won the contest for the Omahans and it is expected that In the coming game it will prove the best ground gainer. The team will leave here early either Sunday morning or late Satur day night. Should they leave Satur day they will have an opportunity to limber up a little before the contest while if the start is not made unall Sunday there will be no chance of any more than a "warming up" be fore the game . The trip is to be made in automo biles according to the present plane. Ttie Purdue Boilermaker* believe tbee have an even chance to beat Ohio The team came out of the Notre Deme fray The Michigan aquad I oat two good men in the low a game.
