I wenty-tive timet since he re

three year ago, Britton has success
fully defended it anaint-t the coun
try'! best and be expects to handle
Padgett with the tame case as the
rest.
Although fans are not paying out
their "jack" in
the hope of see
ing a new chain

the fact that the
Centennial state
mitten hurlcr is
a dangerous op
ponent cannot be

uciucu.
Padgett is
great on pulling
the unexpected.
He went against
Morrie Schlaifcr
a 6 to 4 favorite
over him ana
officiating; '
won the decision. '
A Dangerous Opponent
Wamie Smith of Oklahoma was a
4 to 1 favorite over him at Oklahoma
Cify and Padgett got a draw. In a
fight a few weeks later he buried the
championship aspirations of the
Sooner state mauler by hammering
him from pillar to post.
The Ranger can rightfully be
termed the sensation ot the west
for a slant at his fistic record shows
one of the most phenomenal rises a
boxer ever made.
In 109 fights, extending- over a
period of less than a year and a half,
he has lost but one decision. He
was never knocked out let alone
staggered. t
Three of the welters he has met
have fought champions. He got a

Danville, 111., May 4.-V'Iron Man"
Joe McGinnity, former : big league
and coast hurlcr, today has another
rivet driven to clinch his title. -,
After 34 years in the pastime he
"came back" yesterday and Bitched
his Danville Three-Eye league team
to a 5 to 3 victory over Peoria, just
. by way ot demonstratinjr that the
old arm still retained at least a
modicum of its former mieht.
He hurled seven scoreless innings,
weakened a bit on the eighth .when
Peoria got to him for three runs, two
of them earned, but was strong
enough in the ninth to stave off
further scoring. He turned back
three batters on strikes, walked one
man and hit another.
He accepted two chances and got
one hit out of four trips to the plate.
McGinnity earned the "iron man"
appellation years ago, by his repeat
ed efforts at pitching both ends of
double headers

New Type of Golf Club Shaft
Perfected OutlawedbyU.S.G.A,
Chicago, May 4. A new type of
golf club shaft has been perfected
in the effort to find a suitable sub
stitute for hickory. It is composed
of a core of second growth hickory
with strips of bamboo inlaid parallel
with the- center, somewhat like a
castinir rod. It has not been tried
extensively, hut It is aid that the com-
lunation is more statue and even man
the present wooden shafts, which be
gin to lose their native resiliency as
oon as they are put in play. Very
little hickory is required for this in
laid shaft and it does not need to
be so carefully selected as the main
timber lies in the iplit bamboo.
Steel shafts have been outlawed in
Great Britain and by the United
States Golf association, although
manufacturers say that some sub-.-titutc
for hickory must be found,
as that wood of the proper sort us
fast disappearing.
