Managers The lightweight Sid Marks had come carrying the Canadian title An ambitious manager thought the nov'ci could beat the world and rushed into a battle with Charlie White Tvo rounds were all the youngster not because lie didn't have the stuff but because White had too much experience The defeat liuit and week later Marks suffered a similar defeat at the hands of Joe Tiplitz at Philadelphia career as a boxer is practically ruined few if any can come after such a series of beatings As to the heavyweight Floyd Johnson by name he admitted he wasu good enough to beat Jack Dempsey jet He saw to it that he wasn't match ed with the top-notchers right off the reel He prefers to come up by easy rtages he is young and is willing 'o fight a couple of years picking up as much experience as possible and then going after the title And his method is getting results The men he has met have served as stepping stones New York is already touting him as a coming champion Marks might have done as well with wiser handling GREENLEAF RETAINS TITLE Defeat Allen In Pocket Ilillinrd Championship Mateh PHILADELPHIA Oct Ralph Greenleaf of New York national pocket billiard champion tonight retained

TAMPA Oct 28 The Rollins Tars' lacked the fighting quality necessary to carrv the scrap into Legion but not once did they fail to hold the ex-soldiers when the latter threatened to storm their trenches the game resulting in a tie 0 to 0 on the four-yard line Chaplin through to he-one-yard stripe as the period ended Dempsey smashed across for the final score of the game on the first of the fourth period A long series of passes which failed and frequent exchange of the ball followed until finally with about three minutes to play West Palm Beach took the ball to midfield and started its final advance An eight-yard inn was instrumental in obtaining a first down A buck lost five jards but two end runs made 11 carrying the ball to Miami's 30-yard line where West Palm H-aeh called for time out to consider the mode of further attack when the game ended West Palm Beach which claims to have the heaviest team i the state in scholastic circles outweighed Miam1 about 10 pounds to the man but the line play decided the game in Miami's favor The Miami line charged low and had little trouble in opening huge holes and pushing back the attack of the ah-charging AVest Beach forwards However West Palm Beach showed enough power to indicate that the return game at Miami on Thanksgiving day would be a far closer battle The home team was a heavy favorite before the game started Captain Izor rail the team with well nigh faultless generalship while Chaplin and Foster starred at breaking up the West Palm Beach plays More than once three or more Miami taelc-iers hit the runner before he could reach the line of scrimmage Delaj-ed end runs with Izor and Dempsey carrying the ball were particularly good ground gainers while the work of the ends Cooper and Prosser especially on defense and catching forward passes with a wet ball was exceptional Both Coaches Heyl and Woods professed themselves to be satisfied with the showing of the team though they admitted that the Miami eleven showed many places where Improvement could help's lot From Miami About 800 fans attended this first game in the history of southeastern Florida scholastic football history of which 250 were from Miami

foregoing invitation was issued more than 110 years ago by officers of the Savannah "golf It appeared in the form of an advertisement in the Savannah Museum a newspaper bearing the date of November 25 1811 a copy of which has just been found in the files of the Savannah Historical society Discovery followed newspaper and magazine discussions of the introduction of golf into the United States which placed the date somewhere around 1860 The location of the links of the is not known and Just what was the character of the game in the early days here is not recorded The game then was to be developed to the point where newspaper readers demanded full details of the clash But that golt was played in Savannah early in the eighteenth century is a fact and that it was plaj'ed by Scotchmen is equally true Descendants of officers of the club live here today and are among the prosperous and thrifty residents of Savannah That the "golf club" was conducted along the lines of the modern clubs however may be assumed from information contained in one of its invitations to a dance on the night of December 31 1811 It was found between the leaves of an old family Bible here nearly 100 years later It reads: "GOLF CLUB BALL honor of Mis Eliza Johnston's company is requested to a ball to be given by the members of the Golf club of this city at the Exchange on Tuesday evening the 31st inst at 7 o'clock George Woodruff Robert Mackay John Caig and James Dickson managers George Hogarth treasurer "Savannah Ob December Miss Eliza Johnston was one of the belles of Savannah and the of the old City Exchange was used for dances and other entertainments It was later acquired by the city and used as a city hall for almost a hundred j-ears There never has been found any record of a membership roll of the golf club but those whose names appear on the invitation were all prominent in the life of Savannah and were all Scotchmen Savannah In 1811 had not more than 12-000 inhabitants but it paid much

driving attack upon the heavier West Palm Beach eleven The Miami line out-charged the West Palm Beach wall and only onco did the home team threaten to score and then a belated rally was halted by the whistle closing the game It took less than three minutes for Miami to score its first two touchdowns and each of these scores came on the first scrimmage in which Miami had the ball nearly creating a record for quick scoring Dempsey Scores West Palm Beach kicked off to start things and the ball was run back to midfield On the first play Dempsey broke through left end sidestepped several tacklers nd behind good interference dashed 50 yards for a touchdown Izor missed a drop kick Miami kicked -off to West Palm Beach and took the ball on the 15-yard bar when the home-team fumbled Izor swept around right end on the first play and crossed the goal line The extra point was scored when Izor again crossed the goal line on an end run The next kick off was followed by a series of unsuccessful attempts on the part of both teams to gain but finally Miami again started a march which ended when Chaplin plunged through the West Palm Beach line for five yards and a touchdown The try at goal failed Pa Work The quarter ended after Miami kicked off and Cooper recovered the ball on a fumble in midfield On the initial lineup after the second period opened Prosser pulled a 10-yard pass out of the air and raced 40 yards past the bewildered Palm Beach secondary defense for another touchdown again the goal was missed The remainder of the period found Miami ever in West Palm Beach territory but further scoring was staved off Passes from Dempsey to Cooper were twice unsuccessful and Miami lost the ball on downs The teams took turns in intercepting one another's passes with izor recovering one which West Palm Beach had intercepted but fumbled The half ended with the ball In Miami's possession on the 40-yard West Palm Beach line after Chaplin had gained five and then lost three yards in
