Ever slnco Jack Dempsey loomed a a
fcrmidablo contender for the heavy
weight championship there has raged
a controversy .is to his nationality. Ap
parently an attempt was, made to provo
that his status ns a flfjhter depended on
tils origin, nnd even after he declared he
was of Irish descent nnd his family
name Dempsey the discussion continued.
it now is quite evident that It makes
re special difference what his nationality
K as he haa demonatratcd that he Is a
fighter of the first rank. The manner In
which he disposed of Ilnttllnfc Levlnsky,
a clever rlngstor who had met nearly
very heavyweight In the country and
always with honor to himself. Indicates
clearly that Dempsey Is head and
shoulders above all the members of tho
clais the world over.
Although the opinion was held by
gome that Dempsey'B victory over Pulton
was not on Its merits and that his de
feat of Carl Xlorrls was a colluslvo
ffalr the summary conquest of Levlnsky
mart be accepted as cvidenco that
Dempsey haa won all his houta strlctlv
through his superiority as a fighter.
The suddenness with which Dempaey
has toppled mcged heavies like Fulton.
Morris, Brennan and Levlnsky not only
accounts for the coyness of Willard In
making; a match but alsxvitrengthetu the
belief that. Demprey la tho greatest
heavyweight developed since the days of
Fltzslmmons. lie hits with the same
catapultlc force that marked Fitislm
mons's attack, ho has greater speed
than the Cornlshman and he Is a better
boxer than the former champion.
Meelinn Should Be Next.
There now stand between Dempsey
nnd a mutch with Willard two men
William Meehan of San Francisco and
Billy Ml?ke of St. Paul. Meehan holds
a four round decision over Dempsey-; bu
there Is hardly a doubt that tho Salt
J.ike boy would prevail over the Fat
Fighter In a longer bout. Meehan la a.
rolypoly chap, with lots of stamina and
capacity for punishment, but with little
boxing science and he Ih a light hitter.
Such a man Is difficult' to stop, and
Dempsey would doubtless require ten or
twelve rounds In which to dispose of
Ueehan.
So far as Mislte is concerned, there
H much question as to whether the
Mlnnesotan will ever again get Into tho
i n? with Dempsey. They met In St.
Paul a few months ago In a ten round
lout and Mlske remained the limit,
which result is declared to be due to the
fact ihat ho refused to awn articles un
less lie was guaranteed against knock
out. Mlske Is on record with a refusal to
meet Dempsey in a bout In Madison
Square Garden, nnd unless he since has1
changed his nurd he will not regard
himself as a -Kvlous obstacle to the
championship aspirations of Dempsoyj
Therefore It behooves Dtmpsoy to make
oil haste to get Meehan Into the ring
for a long bout, nfter which the Salt
Lake walloper can Insist on Wllllard
fljhtlng or retiring.
Punishment for Willard,
The disinclination of Willard to box
on his merits for war funds has aroused
much public opposition to the champion,
nnd tho question of punishing the Kan
pan is being discussed. One suggestion
Is to the effect that the champion be
ostracised and that the next best man
be declared tho title holder. Such a
project could not bo carried out, and
therefore would he a waVte of effort.
The only punishment tint could, be
Inflicted on Willard would be to de
prive him of tho title which lis has
urcd for commercial purposes only. He
carmct bo shorn of the championship ex
cpt through the action of an authori
ty, ve boxing association, and there is no
such organization.
1; the boxers, managers and promot
ers of America ivero represented In a
nat onal organization, after tho manner
fit baseball, racing and other profea
f.onal sports. It would be an easy mat
ter to discipline Willard or any other
champion who had no Interest In his
title save the financial returns and no
toriety.
With a national boxing association to
enforce a rule that all champions must
defend their titles every Blx months or,
refusinir to accent a bona fide challenge,
forfeit to a challenger, WUlard could be
easily punished.
The enforcement of such a rule In the
rase of Willard or other title holders' of
his Ilk would mako Impossible a repeti
tion of his tactics. Until tho boxing
fraternity organizes Willard will calmly
lose as the heavyweight champion, and
having the hide of a rhinoceros will
merely smile at tho shafts of criticism
elmtd at him.

Obsen-atlon extending over twenty'
years and more prompts us to remark
that tho average golfer knows almost
rothlng about the history of golf, and
that there nro fow sport chronicles
morn worth knowing. It would be mani
festly unfair to thousands of golfers to
say that they cared littles about such
matters; rather Is tho reverse true, but
tho extreme, difficulties In finding tho
proper books and authorities lessen tho
desire for knowledge. .
Golfers nil over tho country have told
mo that thoy h.ivo gone to libraries In
tho wjnter time of course desirous of
learning something new about tho
game, but that tho. necessary Informa
tion was not tn be had. Not, a slnglo
book other than Harry Vardon's "Tho
Complete Golfer" and a couple of newer
treatises on how to play the game wero
to bo found. A auditioning at the desk
In several largo libraries disclosed tho
fact that there wero at least two good
reasons why such books were jiot on tho
shelves.
"Why,"' said one genial librarian,
"you xolfcrs rarely go to a library.

SHOOT AT POLO GROUNDS.
especially when he, speaks of tho mnny
difficulties of securing tne tovetcd
olumes dealing with tho first begin
nings of tho royal and ancient gamo.
Tho first good book on tho game, by
Robert Clark of Edinburgh, was only
printed In 1875 and then only a few
copies wore made for prlvato distribu
tion, Blshteon years afterward re
prints were mado and a . few additions
were made, very few because the author
tells us that In tho eighteen years Inter
vening he found new Rolling matter ns
regards the history of tho game on only
ono or1 two occasions. Which Is a
pleasing commentary tion his Industry
and ability whllo compiling the first
work, for fow others have been able
to add much If anything of value to the
historic facts therein chronicled.
Therefore, trr' satisfy the delres of
many golfers who havo written lo us on
Ihe subject, perhaps a few articles, not
necessarily consecutive, dealing with the
principal features which mako golf his
torically one of the greatest of tports and
pertaining especially to tho start, parly
development, rise and present day activi
ties, will mfllce to give enough of his
torlcal blend and much Interesting Infor
mation. No Nciv Idrnsj Piiaalblc,
There can be no new Ideas devtlopcd,
naturally, ln matters concerning tho first
be.glnntngs, but personal contact with
players here and abroad for tne last
twenty-two years may afford some new
light on present facts. I
Where and when golf started nobody
knows of a certainty; whether or not It
comes from Holland or Scotland matter
I'ttlc, perhaps, except to the seeker after
the truth and nothing but. tho truth.
To him we would say that somo sort of
a game resembling golf was played In
Holland oftentimes on tho Ice with stakes
Instead of holes. No rules for such play
have ever been discovered, but from pic
tures wo lenrn that the finish of this
Hollandlsh form was somewhat aftrr the
fashion of croquet, with the ball being hit
between two wickets.
No form of exercise, however, becomes
a true sport, especially of a competitive
nature, until rules nro compiled, and this
eential was performed by the Scots. If
they did not crack they shaped the crea
tion eo that It became an Intelligible and
llkfblo game iir tho whole world.
Uxart date. aa wo have Intimated, nro
harj to net In these matter. We nro
forced to conclude that It was played
years and years before the first records
wlilrh were cunpllcd 500 years ac;o.
Then golf was beginning to nourish
a-.nonr other than loyally antl the
wealthy, and to l.ecp yeomanry skilled In
the practice o the bow nnd larrc ne
a decree was mado that golf should bo
given up absolutely. Ho who disobeyed
was under tho first penalty of a sum
worth to-day about $M0.
This did no good. It fcem", for a
stricter ono had to be made forbidding
any balls to be brought into the coun
try from Holland, but again disobedience
was tho answer, wth the King himself
one of the chief breakers or his edict.
Scots Determined to PInT.
The Scots were determined to play
the attractive nnd alluring port and
no rules and regulations could prevent.
But when It came to playing on a
Sunday, and all day, even at the time
of the morning sermons, there was a
cry from within their own sectional
borders. It had been decreed that In
the nfternnon of a Sunday sports of u
rugged nature could be Indulged In, but
when headstrong golfers not only Ig
nored theso demands but even pl.ii
at the time of sermons the law was
mado to take Its course and dlveis pun
ishments were meted out, several of-I
fenders being fined twenty pounds, while
others In addition to their lines were
forced to appear the following Sunday
In tho place n public repentance In the
presence of Cci wholo congregation,

caught was at onco dcixiscd publicly

Half a century later a compromise
was made wheieby those who attended
IS OFFICIALLY ADOPTED
By SHORTSTOP.
That liaseball will take hold In France
within tho rcxt five years as it did In
Cuba following tho Spanish-American
war Is tho fond prediction by Ameri
can soldiers who havo returned from
tho war zone. In fact fin officer- Jiwt
back from France has mado the pre
diction that baseball will get a much
flrriwr hold lit France than In I3.-land,
whero the gamo seems to be making a
strong appeal.
Oddly enough, while the American
roldlera seem to have taken a strontf
dlsllko to professronat ball player they
remain baseball's greatest boosters, nnd
It still Is the game of games In tho
urmy.
The French army has taken up base
ball officially both ns a course of train
lng for rpcrtilts and ns a means o"f
recreation for the fagged Midlers at the
rest centres. Johnny Evers, the former
Infield star of the Cubs and Braves, haa
been giving lessons to French officers
In bnaeball. and through thom It will
bo Introduced Into the army.
Hut where tho game really Is being1
rooted Into the very life of. the ntlovi
is among the youth of the repub-
Amcrlcans aro now m numerous
lie.
In France that they aro nuarterod nil
the way from Marseilles to tho front
lino trenches. Next to their own be
loved pollu the French urchin thinks
thcro In no one ln tho world like the
American soldier. It Is true thcro was
a time when the Parisian samln wasn't
sure whether or not the Tankeo trooper
wav just a bluff, but nil mich doubts
disappeared with Chateau Thierry nnd
Belleati wood.
To-day the American soldier Is n sort
f a demigod to tho Froncii voungstor.
Tho stature of the Yanks and the fact
that thoy have como from across the
spa to light for France has fired their
youthful Imaginations, and boylike they
try to Imitate tho Americans.
A Safety Vnlve.
For this reason they want to play
bieball Just because It Is an American
ginie. In many places back of tho Hues
biscb.ill is tho only recreation for the
soldier. Mary of t;icse men chafe under
their non-conbntlve Jobs nnd the officer
sajs baseball Is tho only safety valve
for theso men.
'llf thev couldn't play ball I don't
know what we would do with them,"
h raid. "We ofton have them do tho
dirtiest kind of work ten, twelve hours
at a ssretch, nnd there Is no war
glamour to It, either. Just grind, grind,
grind, liut baseball relieves tho ten
sion." It li around these enmpu that baser
ball is winning its young converts.
Many of t.'ieso boys are far back of the
aveiage American country lads of tholr
age. Their parents arc simple peasant
folk who still do their farming with
the crudest Implements. Vet these boyo
aro taking fnat to baseball, and It Is
broadening nnd educating them. At
first these youngsters aro scared at the
tall Americans nnd keep some distance
away, but llndlng the Yanks very
friendly they draw near and befor" long
are Initiated into real Yankee sport.
Foothill was biuujht over to tho lead
ing prliaic bchools from ITnglnnd and
iu!t n bit of It was played In Paris.
IIoxIiik alFo was making quite a strong
headway in France previous to the start
of the war, but France had no leal
sport of tho masses.
Aiipcala to 'IViupcrnim-nt,
It Is confidently believed that baseball
will 1111 this want Tiic game's speed
and daal. should be particularly appeal
ing to tho French temperament, which
llkeii act. on. For that f ason cricket,
played or. the other side of the Channel

of similar pursuits. It is the men In
these lines who wero the real dyed In
tho wool fans In America, the men who
t-.lked baseball at work and played It at
lunch time.
Tl.ero Is net so much likelihood of
ban-ball becoming the national sport of
liiltaln. The llrltisher seems too fond ot
his cricket and football to exchange
htm for tho sport of another nation.
The sprrts of England arc part of the
nation s traditions nnd aro embedded
in ltf hlstoiy. Compared with cricket
ai d tht. popular football of tho English
maisei', our American ban- ball is u mere
nf.int. For that reason events will
IKcly prove that Fram o will bo our
Engl.slur.en visiting the Iluko protested
...n Bmi was as mucn English ns Scotch,
that the Englishmen played It fully us
well. If not better, and that tiiai- ii.V,.
selves were sufficiently dextrous to
play the Iluko and any Scot ho might

Tho matcli was made, and t.io Duke
sought out John Palersone ot Edinburgh,
a shoemaker by trade, nnd told him that
ho wished him for a partner. Tho shoe
maker was appalled lit the thought of
playing In such company, but being reus
surcd consented, of course, nnd nt Uolth
tht links near Edlnbuigh, the match
was played with a very largo sum of
money wagered.
The Duke and his partner won hand
somely, and to the shoemaker. Patcr

residence In Edinburgh, upon whoso
wall the Duke caused nn escutcheon,
