MONDAY AFTERNOON | Two Knockouts During Afternoon's Programme, While Two _ Bouts Went Into Extra Rounds--@G. N. C. Smith 8howed Good Ring Generalship--Lane and Langmuir Provided Fast Going--*"Tommy" Church, M.P., y on Hand. The annual boxing finals were | "held at the * Royal Military College gymnasium on Monday afternoon at 4.80 o'clock with a large attendance f enthusiastic boxing fans, includ- "Tommy" Church, M.P. of To- General Elmsley, Mayor An- although at times some of the con- festants failed to "wade in" with the 1 gusto that has marked R.M.C. There was, however, some good ring generalship shown, especi- by G.N.C. Smith, who scored a jockout over Johnson. Smith wait- spent in the last rcund and then he Janded on him for an easy k.o. There were two knockouts in Monday's seraps, the one already referred to #nd Rolph's k.0. over How in the day. Two fights went into extra Founds. The finals were fought out as follows: Novice Lightweight. How vs. Thorn--How started to wade in on Thorn with smashes to jhe face and had his man completely fook his punishment and stayed on Bis feet. He reversed matters In the pnd round and made a great ymeback, raining blow after blow How's face with telling effect. was Inclined to go into the jnches thus preventing force be- hing Thorn's smashes. Thorn wus ich more the aggressor in the sec- d round and in the third he put it How but the judges ruled an- r round. How kept up the elinching in the extra round whue Thorn rushed him as much as he 'gould. Thorn was an easy winner. 3 Open Lightweight. Campbell vs. H. C.

There was more dodging and little more fighting in the second round although Campbell made a couple of hard efforts on uppercuts and rights to the head. Every rush ended in a clinch in.the third frame. Smith was warned by the referee- and he went better and finally was given the decision. Novice Heavyweight. Francis ve. Ross--Francis showed more aggressiveness than his oppon- ent at the start of this fracas but on the whole the first round was fairly even. The two boys were doing some silent figuring to themselves but Francis went into action and tried to settle the bout with hard wallops to the head but Ross was cute enough to draw back and escap- ed the full force of the shots. The third round was fairly even and fit was hard to declde a winner. An extra two-minute round was ordered and Francis rushed Ross off hig feet. Ross missed a couple of upper jabs and showed that he was weary from the going and repeatedly went to the clinch. Francis won the bout. Open Welterweight. G.N.C. Smith vs. Johnson--Smith showed about the best ring general- ship of the afternoon and in the first two rounds let his man do the work and the worrying. He took the first round to size up Johnson and did not outdo himself. Johnson was not losing any time either, however, and let it be known that he was on hand. Smith showed a better knowledge in the second frame and wasted no blows on Johnson. Johnson chased Smith to the retreat a couple of times but Smith was eyldently wait- ing for one good chance. It came. No sooner had the third round start- ed than Smith sent a shower of short shots to Johnson's head and the lat- ter dropped to the canvas. Novice Intermediate. Savage' vs. Pirie--Here was a snappy argument and both boys gave their best, Pirie had a big advant- age in the first round and forced the fight to Savage but the latter hung on in the opening of the second but Pirie wormed hid way into the lead again and prevented Savage from getting in any of his uppercut work. Pirie by good dodging, escaped blows that would have sent him flat to the floor had hé been in front of them. Pirie started the third round strong but both men weakened and before the fight was over, each was swing- ing lamely at the other. Pirie was given the decision. Open Middleweight. McCaul vs. Coyle--This pair of boys uncorked some of the brightest work of the afternoon's performance and they had the audience quite en- thused with their work. Coyle put up a defente in the first round and let McCaul come to him. The latter aimed some pretty hard shots at Coyle but Coyle came back and sent home some telling pokes. Coyle (TES THE DAILY SPORTING WINS ENGLISH Manna with Steve Donoghue up: favorite owned by H. E. Morris, won the English Derby by eight lengths. Incidentally, this, marked Donoghue's sixth victory in the Derby, & record. BRITISH WHIG GENERAL DERBY Still The Most For The Money By Chester Horton Maker of 51 Golf Champions. "Golf's most successful teacher," says "Chick" Evans. was taller and his long reach gave him a slight advantage over his op- ponent. McCaul caught Coyle off guard and sent him on a rush to the corner of the ring. Both put up a hard fight and the going, was fairly even. McCaul opened up the third round hard and forced Coyle to the defensive but the latter steadied himself and uncorked some wicked shots that won him the decision. Open Heavyweight. Lane vs. Langmuir--This was the treat of the afternoon for two rounds although both fighters were pretty well used up before the final bell. Lane started off like a house afire and had it all over Langmuir, knock- ing him down twice. The latter was game and stuck it out but it was a mighty hard fight. Lane started in again in the second round and knocked Langmuir down. When he got up, Lane forced him to the ropes but the sting had gone from his blows and Langmuir was able to stay up. Lane had the bout salted away and in the last round took things a little easy. In one smash, however, both went to the floor. The going continued easy and Lane was award- ed the bout. Open Featherweight. How vs. Rolph--There was little to the last fight on the card. About a minute after it had opened, Rolph rained some sharp wallops to the head of his adversary, who dropped to the mat foi the count and it was all over. OH, NAUGHTY! WHAT TRICKSTERS PITCHERS ARE! YOURE UP IN A"PINCH" Now It LETS SEE IF YOU CAN HIT A NICE (Former Pitcher, N.Y. Giants) 1. Pitchers: and catchers have a good many tricks to baffle the nitter. Jeff Tesreau, the spitball artist with the Giants, used a highly polished brass button on his glove to dazzle the batters' eyes and distract their attention from his "spitter." 2. Staring fixedly at the hittét, or past himat the catcher, as if dis- satisfied with the latter's signs and in doubt as to what ball to throw him, has always been a pitcher's means of worrying and irritating the batter in a pinch.

Tex Rickard has announced that the new Madison Square Garden will be completed by December of this year. Tex can now tell the whole world what his seating capacity will be. - When it is boxing might 19,500 persons will be able find seats. When it is to be hoe 15,000 can attend in comfort. The six-day bi- cycle crowds can run up to 14,600. There will be just 14,500 permanent seats in the mew structure, divided as follows: In the stadium proper, 6,- 400,000 cubic feet of fresh minute and an equivalent [IR & PITCH AND RUN The run-up, and the pitch shot too, must be accomplished by throwing the blade directly through the ball. This is the reverse of quitting with the blade at the ball, or jabbing. Sometimes a shot can be jabbed and a fairly good shot result, but the practice is not a good one. Jab-only when the ball is in a hole or the lie otherwise compels a jab. A fault many players have is of quitting at the ball with the mashie blade. In the shortest run-up, for instance, the blade must be sent through the ball. This keeps the ball straight and also makes it run. It is the blade passing through the ball that gives the ball the overspin. The blade merely slap- ping the ball does not spin it at all, | hence the ball that is slapped or jab-' bed, for a run-up, will stop far short | of the objective. Shove the blade through as if the ball were not tnere. The stroke ends not at the ball, but! at a point some six or eight inches in| front of it. HOW THEY COMPARE.
