BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL KINDS-BOXING
Eight survivors began play in the
third round of the city amateur golf
tournament at Jackson park this
morning over 36 holes. Surprises
were numerous yesterday in the first
and second round, Murray Deming,
former city champion, and Matt Kelly
being eliminated. Of the eight re
maining players, seven are from the
South Side, Walter Rautenbush, Gar
field park, being the lone representa
tive of the West Side.
W. S. Eagle was the star yester
days going around in 69 when he de
feated Matt Kelly, 5 and 3. His medal
score tied the course record made by
Chick Evans several years ago.
Several defaults by good players
marred the play.
Negotiations have been practically
completed for a wrestling match La
bor day in Evansville, Ind., between
Joe Steelier and Yussiff Hussane.
Stecher is looked on as the best of
the American crop of grapplers, but
he has had little experience with the
foreigners.
Ted Lewis, the English welter, fs
making a good showing in battles on
this side of the water. He had an
easy time defeating Kid Curly in ten
rounds at Buffalo. In one round Cur
ly was clinching desperately to es
cape a knockout. Lewis was out
weighed five pounds.
Johny Coulon sincerely believes he
can come back. Because of this be
lief he has gone to Deer Lake, Ont,
and will not return to Chicago until
Oct 15. The trip to the wilds is ex
pected to build him up. As soon as
the former bantam champ returns to
the city he will begin gym- work, to
be followed by fights with several
local bantams. If this campaign
proves successful, Johnny will de
mand a match for the championsffip
with Kid Williams, to "whom he lost
his title.
Natural is the way people act be
fore they learn manners.

When the team returns home in
September it will be either fighting
for the lead or completely out of the
race. There is no middle course. Six
teams are now winging along, knee
to knee, but a crack is due for at
least two, and possibly three, within
the next three weeks. And the ones
that continue to play baseball of
even average caliber will- claw on.
