Solitude on the links, with none to dispute the right of way.

No links that is worth while, especially on the days when every one feels free for an outing, with none to dispute their rights, is ever to he en loved all alone. But it is different with the golfer who Kroee out regularly to study the i Apablllties of any particular club and to school himself In the accurate methods of handling it Any old cor ner of the course will do for this sort of practice and there is no better way to improve one's game. In most cases, through the perversity of human na ture, each player when he practices at ill does so at the form of game be is beet at.

They have been playing as good. If not bet ter, ball than some of the other teams hut have just been in a. hit nf harit luck. One suggestion that has been made to the Commercial leaguers is that a prize Da onerea the teams playing their full seven Innings in the fastest time during the league season or that a prize be given the teams having the best average time during the entire season. Speed Up the Games. The Idea of this Is to speed ud the games The players were slow In get ting on and off the diamond between the innings last Sunday and the doubleheader dragged along consid erable.

Tom Jones, manager for Jess Wlllard, said Tuesdav that he had refused an offer of J30.IH)b for the heavyweight champion to box ten rounds with Fred Fulton, In Mil waukee. The offer. It was said, was made to Jones by Tom Andrews, a Mil waukee promoter. Jones, it was eaid. notified Andrews that Willard's contract -with a fi..,,. will take effect April 29. and that he . would not take any engagement which Bilk jwiraize mat Jones added that the circus contract "was for uso.oeo. The better way is to tackle tne de partment of the game one is weakest In. or. which is variant of the prln- iple to go out with one club and try it out thoroughly. It is still bet ter to engage the professional to ac company you on on the experimental trials, unless he Is one of the lm peuous sort who are discomforted ex- ept when hired for a match at odds, for sn extra bonus In case the pupil unable to beat him under the agreed on handicap concessions To try out the suggestion, scatter a doren balls In the nearest hunker and practice playing them outr with th.' niblick for an hour. Or scatter them along the banks of a brook, or a ditch, or any water hazard, to get ill sorts of possible lies, especially hanging lies, and work over them with the same club. Finish off with some brisk putting or tee shots, so as to bring all the muscles and brain 1 lie into activity, and the time stolen from a full round will be found to be an asset and not a waste of oppor tunities. No club responds more 'iniikN to an earnest effort to master it possibilities than the frequently 'losplsed niblick, for with the majority It is used only when necessity compels t to he drawn from the bag.

"it makes no difference to Welsh whether It Is for a. championship battle or a ten-round contest," said Moy, in discussing the matter, "for he trains just as hard for one as the other. I was with him two or three ears and I never met a fighter In all my life who works so hard as Welsh when he is preparing for a battle. "He docs not train an me wnue. iur there are times when he will lay off and do a thing, and' even between ? latches there are time when he falls o train, hut the moment he has a con test of any consequence, you may rest assured that he Is going to work so hard to be In shape, no matter whether he Is overweight or not I have boxed many of the lightweights In this coun try, but I will tell you truthfully that in my estimation Freddie Welsh out shines all of them by a long way. ' "If he were five years jounger there would be no lightweight In this country who would have the ghost of a chance with him He Is getting to that age now when he will begin to slip, and of course It Is going to take some joung. strong lightweight who will come alone and take his measure when least expected " Thlnkn Well of Mitchell. "I have a great deal of regard for Charlie White, but I really think that Johnny Dundee or Benny Leonard would give him as hard a battle as any one I have heard a great deal about Richie Mitchell, the Milwaukee lightweight, but cannot pass judgment on him as I have never seen him In action From what other boxers tell tne who have fought him, there Is no doubt In mv mind that he stands very highly among the lightweights, and no doubt would put up as fine a contest with Welsh as any of them. He Is young and ambitious, and no doubt In a long contest, would give Welsh con siderable trouble. I understand that Mitchell and Welsh are to meet In Mil waukee early in April In a ten-round contest" "Of course I would expect Welsh to optpolnt him. but you never can tell with a young, clever fellow like Mit chell. I should think that Benny Leonard and Mitchell would make a wonuerrui contest between them, as both are clever, shlftv and fairly hard hitters."

COMMERCIAL leaguers are fur nishing us with some pretty good early season baseball and the card for next Sunday afternoon at Rio Grande park looks to be up to the high standard set by the semi pros, in their first two games thi3 season. PREELECTION of William H. Pel phrey to the presidency of the Commercial Baseball league was just a little testimonial from the semi pros, to one of the most efficient leaders that league has ever had. Mr. Pelphrey worked haio. for the laegue last year and there wasn't-the slightest doubt that he would be reelected this year if he would accept the post The Commercials are to be congratulated on getting his acceptance. pLANS for the suggested track and field meet here in May are, naturally, rather vague at the pres ent time but it is to be hoped that it will be possible to put the scheme across. With four or five institu tions competing, there should be some good sport and the attendance should be large enough to take care of the financial end. pRED FULTON thinks Frank Moran was eliminated in the bout at New York last Saturday night and points out that his own knock out of Jim Flynn puts him in the f- it rank of the title contenders. Fc now wants a crack at Willard and isn't at all backward in setting forth his claims pOUR franchises have been awarded in the Commercial league but there is still a chance for the Krack , ajacks and the Millers. The Kracks have already demonstrated their speed and if the Millers can show the necessary class it is likely that the other two teams will be taken in at at a meeting to be held next week. gUNDAVS games will count in the official standing of the Commer cial league. The full schedule has not yet been drawn but will be fin ished when the matter of taking in extra teams is decided. "BATTLING" LEVINSKY had the edge on Jack Dillon in New York Tuesday night Levinsky is not rated as a title contender and the fact that he beat Dillon doesn't im prove the stock of the Indianapolis fighter. Dillon may be a leader in the light heavyweight ranks but he is not and never will be a real heavy weight title contender. JED" HENDERSON, the Dallas fighter who dropped out of the lightweight ranks after being stopped uy Bobby Waugh, has made a good start as a welterweight, after a long rest. He hammered "Young" Denny, the New Orleans "championship con tender," so badly at Galveston the other night that Denny's seconds tossed in the sponge in the seventh round. - aaiamKaBaElBBaBBnsB3B9sssSBSSBsMflBBal They AS!
