Fractured Wrist
Latest Prank of
Leonard Hoodoo
Benny Dogged by Series of
Mischances Cold Kept
Lightweight King From
Meeting Freedraan.
Has Benny Leonard, world's right
weight champion, joined the ranks
of hard luck pu
gilists? It hecins to
look decidedly
that way, for the
boss of the boys
in his class seems
to have' struck a
streak of ill luck
which refuses to
s u b m it to a
knockout. The
latest misfortune
to sock Leonard
came last Mon
day when he
fractured his left
wrist while train
in tr iar an eieht-
BENNT UiONARn, round champion-
l tribune rhoto.i ship tiit with Lew
Tendler, a bout
billed for Philadelphia last Friday.
Boxing with a sou'paw named
Jack Toland, Benny slammed his
left hand to Toland'i head, and
when he took it away it wasn't the
same strong punching weapon which
had been responsible for the glory
and the kale the champion has
stacked up. It waa cracked, and
forced Leonard to notify the Phila
delphia promoters that he would be
unable to battle Tendler as sched
uled. It's rough on the promoters
and it's rough on the champion.
Like Tendon of Achilles.
The big bugbear of boxing men
to hands.
ivi jvni J j---
We might tell how many of them
have had chances for .titles and
wealth thus ruined because their
weakest spot like Achilles' famed
heel seems to be their hands. But
this is a story about the lightweight
champion, so we stick to the origi
nal line and tell a few things about
Leonard.
Benny's hard luck seemed to have
sprung into being a couple of
months ago when he was unable to
engage Sailor Freedman in a bout
at Benton Harbor, Mich., because
he made the mistake cf getting in
front of an electric fan.
The breeze of the fan gave the
champion a cold, which settled princi
pally in his neck. The result was a
stiff neck and considerable accom
panying pain, which; responded only
slowly to trefctmAir, and Leonard
was forced to cancel that bout. In
round iron men it cost Benjamin just
$15,000, for that was the sum. that
"bad been guaranteed bina.;. according
to Promoter Floyd Fitzsimmons.
Injury Costs "Another Wad.
But that was a minor misfortune
compared to what happened to the
left wrist of the champion while
training in his gymnasium at New
York for the Tendler scrap. When
Benny and his manager, Billy Gib
son, signed for this bout their de
mands were heavy, because Tendler
is practically the only man in the
lightweight ranks who is conceded
a chance of dethroning the man
from the New York Bronx.
Never So Strong Afterward.
Such injuries as that which have
laid Leonard on the shelf for the
present invariably prove a handicap
to the future milling of the man sus
taining them. Leonard probably
will be out of the ring for several
months, and it is possible that his
left punching weapon won't be quite
as good after he returns to battling,
because he undoubtedly will favor
it Of course, he has his knockout
right intact. Nevertheless, Us
tough luck for Benny.
Tilden in Need
Of Long Vacation
Vincent Richards Says Tennis
Champion Is Overplayed
Or Stale
New York, Aug. 13. (Special.)
Vincent Richards does not agree m
the opinion expressed in some quar
ters that William T. Tilden is going
Sack in his play. He says:
"My own personal opinion of the
champion is that he is overplayed or
'stale.' No player can expect to
play as much tennis as Tilden and
still expect to feel keen about play
ing at the end of such a long cam
paign. ..!..
When we stop to thing about it,
he has been playing close to one
year without a letup in nearly every
place in the world. Who can do
that steadily for a year? I really
think Tilden is the only one who
could accomplish this feat and still
look a racquet in the face. In our
recent match I tried .some new tac
tics; that is to say, instead of trying
to keep the ball close to the lines I
played the center of the court almost
continually. This is called the cen
ter theory." As the world s champion
is a large man he naturally likes a
ball at arm's reach, and not getting
it there he is forced to cramp his
stvle to make a return.
"I think it was this theory coupled
with an exceptionally good day that
helped me to defeat the champion.
"A. long rest with absolutely no
tennis, I think, will do Mr. Tilden a
world of good.

New York, Aug. 13. (Special )
Once more the ominous bulk of Jess
Willard of Kansas, casts its shadow
athwart the local fistic pathway.
Tex Rickard evidently cannot believe
that Willard is as inferior to Jack
Dempsey as he showed himself to
be at Toledo on July 4, 1919. Rick
ard really felt sorry for Jack Demp
sey when he made that match, and
indications point to his feelings for
a return bout between the two on
Labor day.
-Willard is reported to be anxious
to meet his conqueror again. Why
shouldn't he be? He no doubt fig
ures that the least he can get for
taking another beating Is $50,000.
That would be pretty sweet for a
fellow like Willard, who is over 40
years of age now.
Willard wasn't in shape at Toledo
and the chances are he cannot get in
real fighting condition any more
now. He may be able to train
enough fat off to look physically fit,
but it's a good bet that he con't
fight like a champion now.
Eastern Athletes
Sore at Weaver
Resent Official Holding Posi

Referee.
New York, Aug. 13. (Special.)
Ted Meredith says that the last of
the track and field athletes who
went to the national championships
in Pasadena are back, and with them
they have brought some very weird
stories of how this meet was con
ducted. It is not a matter of "sour
grapes" in any of the cases, as the
stories of both the Boston and New
York men agree in every way.
The one thing that they kicked
about was the acting of Bob Weav
er, president of the A. A. U., as both
starter and referee of this meet. This
is something that had never been
known to happen in any meet, no
matter how small, and certainly nev
er in a national championship. They
are two jobs in a track meet that
would conflict more than any other
two, probably excepting starter and
timer, which would be a physical
impossibility in most of the races.
The referee should be free from all
other duties in order that he can see
that the meet is run according to
all rules and the decisions that are
made justly.

Speaker Heralded as Greatest
Outfielder Plays With Same
Matchless Grace As In His Youth
New York, Aug. 13. (Specials
Were the average base ball fan
asked whence came the greatest of
center fielders, his sole reply would
be: "From the mesquite grown
plains of Texas." Tris Speaker, ac
cording to the most capable critics
of the sports, is the greatest out
fielder in the game. More than that,
Speaker is the greatest outfielder who
ever played the game, these old-time
sharps declare, and this with all due
deference to Willie Kecler, Joe Kelly
and the others who won fame in the
old days when the batters could call
for the sort of ball they wanted.
Tris was born on the plains of
Texas, and in the off season returns

WOODS ana
blts L-.R.FtY ST. JOHN
When good luck is on the side of
the vacationist and there is a surplus
of fish, he often is confronted with
the problem of shipping seme to the
folks back home. At some resorts
where they have "knocked down"
boxes and plenty of ice in the ice
house, it is a simple matter, but the
angler in camp, miles from an ice
house and the railroad, has a differ
ent problem.
If ice is to be had, by all, means
pack your fish in it. There is a tra
dition entirely without foundation,
we believe, that fish lose in flavor
if they come in direct contact with
the ice. Commercial fish men, who
know their business, pack fish that
way with good results, btft they use
enough ice to prevent it from melt
ing before the fish reach their des
tination. If the ice supply is limit
ed, the fish may be wrapped in wet
grass or wet paper and surrounded
with the ice.
If the fish are shipped without ice,
they should be opened and cleaned,
but not washed, the gills removed,
each fish wiped perfectly dry and
wrapped in numerous thicknesses of
thick paper, or paper and hay; grass
should not be used because h
"heats." Fish that are shipped wet
should never be allowed to dry until
ready for use, and fish that are
shipped dry should be kept free from
moisture.
Fish shipped in ice and frozen
should be thawed in ice water be
fore being cooked. Incidentally, we
have observed that fish are washed
too much before being cooked. Wal
ton and the other, old fishing writ
ers, who were experts at cooking
fish as well as at catching them,
took great pains to warn th? reader
about too much washing, and they
always direct the cook to wipe the
fish with a cloth before cooking
them.
The angler camped in an out-of-the
way place should smoke his surplus
catch in warm weather. Smoking fish
is not at all complicated, nor does
jit require a great dea pf apparatus.,
to the Lone Star state. There he
follows such simple pastimes as rid
ing bucking broncos, tying calves
and at times he becomes reckless
enough to bulldog steers. Like every
other man from the cow country he
can ride and rope with the best of
them, and is said to be a fair hand
with a 30-30. These few little side
lights upon Spoke are not generally
known to fans except those who
know him best.
Speaker is performing his fielding
stunts with the same matchless grace
that marked his early work in Bos
ton, when with Hooper and Duffy
Lewis he made one of the greatest
outfields that ever played on one club
at the same time.
Mrs. Toots Randall of Lima, O.,
gives every indication of becoming
one of the best of women shooters.
She has performed creditably in sev
eral tournaments this year, and will
endeavor to win the women'? cham
pionship at the Grand American
Handicap tournament in Chicago
next month.
Recently Mrs. E. L. King of Win
ona won the handicap event in the
Minneapolis state tournament by
breaking 95 targets from 18 yards.
In accomplishing this feat Mrs.
King had to defeat over 100 men. In
the same tournament Mrs. King
won the. women's championship of
the state by breaking 182 out of 200.
Mrs. L. G. Vogel won by the same
score in Michigan and Mrs.f Groat
broke, one more than that in the
California event. In winning the
women's championship of Illinois,
Mrs. Winkler broke 185 out of 200.
These scores give an excellent idea
of how women are progressing in
trapshooting.
A" practical S'moke house can be
rigged up with the use of a barrel or
packing case. It should have some
sort of chimney or gress for smoke
at the top and a small door at the
bottom for putting in fuel and pro
viding a draft. And dry wood may
be used for fuel except fat pine,
which gives a resinous flavor. Dry
driftwood is about the best find. a
fisherman can get, corn cobs are
good; green wood or damp wood
should not be used.
Small fishes, such as trout, bass,
herring, mooneyes, and the pan fish
es, should be opened and cleaned, but
not scaled. Then they should be
put in a brine, made with one pound
of salt to every gallon of water, and
left overnight. The next morning
they should be taken from the
brine, washed thoroughly in fresh
water, hung up to drain well, and
smoked from three to four hours.
If the weather is damp and the fish
not thoroughly dried in the air be
fore being smoked, they should be
dried in the smoke house by allow
ing a little flame at first.
Large catfish should be skinned,
pickled in strong brine, and smoked
seven or eight hours. Eels also
should be skinned and require about
five hours of smoking.- Dogfish
should be opened and eviscerated,
the backbone removed and then
packed in dry salt to form its own
brine. They should stay in this brine
12 hours and should be soaked, in
fresh water an hour before being
smoked.
Carp are smoked in the same way,
except that the fish is "fleeced" by
removing the scales and the under
lying skin with a very sharp knife,
working from the tail towards the
head.
The whole trick in smoking fish
lies in the manipulation of the draft.
It requires a little practice, but once
"the hang of the thing" is acquired,
smoking is not much more bother
than packing, in ice. Try smoking
carp, dogfish, garpike and other va
rieties supposed to be "not good ' to
eat," sometime.. The results will
surprise you,

two feats which place her ahead of

50 yards in 30 1-5 seconds and 100
yards in 1 minute 8 2-5 seconds in
the 75-foot pool of the Bathing and

equal to the figures returned by Miss
Charlotte Boyle in winning the na

last winter. The latter is by long
odds the fastest ever made by a
girl under 14, and it is worthy of
note that Miss Ederle won her

Out-of -Bounds
Rule Unpopular
Few Clubs Enforce Regula
tions, But Majority Do Not,
Substituting a Local Rule.
New York, Aug. 13. (Special.)
That the out-of-bounds rule is more
honored in the breach than in the
observance is established: that it is
becoming more unpopular with the
passing weeks of the golf season is
evident from the opinion expressed
by golfers on all sides. Some clubs
enforce it, but the great majority
of the clubs throughout the country
have taken advantage of the clause in
the rules as adopted by the United
States Golf association which gives
permission to alter this by a local
rule in which the penalty is loss of
distance only.
Three important championship
tournaments have been played thus
far the intercollegiate at the Green
wich Country club. In this event
the rules of golf were strictly en
forced, and on a course where out-of-bounds
is frequently encountered
by those who wander from the
straight and narrow. The rule
worked havoc with the scores of
many o fthe long drivers among
the collegians.
The next of the big tournaments
was the national open. Before the
tournament there was a discussion
as to whether the penalty of stroke
and distance would be enforced. Of
ficers of the U. S. G. A. decided that
it would be because of the small
number of holes where It was pos
sible to go out of bounds. How
many scores were wrecked and how
many hbpes were buried on the long
fifth hole, together with the sixth
and seventh, is something that prob
ably never, will be calculated.

Herr Steppath added the request

It seems likely, of course, that
Herr Steppath will be disappointed
yet such a match might have this
one advantage for Mr. Dempsey

too nervous or peevish, or both, to
play good base ball after being
"called."
Back in the days when the Frank
Chance machine was winning pen
nants and world's trophies for Chi
raeo. there was no chance for i
player with "nerves" to last on that
outfit. One day after a game had
been lost through some tough luck
playing it was necessary for the
writer to go to the clubhouse to
see Manager Chance.
Like a Wild West Show.
Every player on the team was
telling somebody something about
that game, and the luckless man who
was responsible for the defeat was
getting it from all sides. Chance was
the only man not engaged in the con
versation. He was merely listening,
for he had no need to talk.
Those were the days when players
looked to the manager only for di
rections when a crucial situation arose
and even then were frequently told
to use their own judgment. Today
the players who are coming up look
to the bench or the coaching lines
for guidance in all kinds of situations.
They alibi themselves for all their
mistakes by blaming the manager,
and the game has come to be a
battle between men who are not in
the battle at all, but merely direct
the pawns, much like chess players.

Nebraska Will Tackle Pitt.
Nebraska is scheduled to
another trip into the east.
Comhnskers are slated to meet
Pop Warrtcr's Pittsburgh team in

Chicago will entertain Colorado
Aggies, champion of the .Rocky
mountain conference last year, on
Stagg field early in October, while
a number of interseetional contests
between minor college elevens will
be played. The number of strug
gles between elevens of known
strength, combined with the con
tests between those which are usu
ally contenders for sectional honors,
should make the season one of the
most successful in years.
While a number of interseetional
clashes will be played, the first of a
two-game series between - Chicago
and Princeton should eclipse all
others. This contest will be played
at Princeton on October 22, with
return game on Stagg field in 1922..'
It is one of the few times in Tigei
football history that Princeton will
travel a distance to give battle on
the gridiron.
