NOVEL MATCH TO Mrs. Kew Wins Country Club Ladies' Cup By Last Putt Of Match
(By "Birdie")
GOLF HAS SEEN SEVERAL novel contests, and quite a few were played during the last great war, but the latest one has arisen out of a desiro on the part of Joe Davis, world snooker champion, to raise money for the British Red Cross. He has offered to meet Henry Cotton in a series of golf and snooker matches.
All that Davis wants from Cotton is a stroke a hole, and he, in turn, offers the golfer six blacks start at snooker. Cotton is interested, and though of the opinion that no handicap at snooker could be high enough for him, is will ing to meet Davis in both games-provided Davis gives him some lessons at snooker first!
At the start of the last war in 1914, J. N. Farrar, a native of Hoylake, took a 10-1 bet that
he could not go round the Roys-
ton Course under 100 strokes fully equipped in full infantry marching order, water bottle, full field kit and haversack. He won by going round in 94.
Several golfers, including profes- slonals, later tried this feat, and failed.
*
NE of the greates! handicaps there is in golf is the mental handicap. I read somewhere recently pin "freak" match that was based on this factor. A low single-figure handicap player paired up with a poorer golfer, and before the inatel strokes of offered the usual handicap difference. This was refused, and
by forward the suggestion put
the second man that he be allowed the privilege of saying "boo" at any three times during the round, und there would be no stroke difference. This was agreed to, and the "psychologist" won quite comfortably
and with two "bop's" in hand!
DIFFERENT kind of handleap is a distance allowance. At Little hampion in 1924, Harry Rowntree, amateur, played the teller ball of Edward Ray and George Duncan, and received an allowance of 150 yards to use as he required during the round.

Middleweight Title
Lee Shows Considerably More Punch Power Than
Ceferino Garcia
Ceferino Garcia, world's middleweight champion, may be rated the hardest middleweight puncher in the world to-day, but it was Glen Lee, the American title contender, who displayed the punching power in training, states the Manila Bulletin. Demonstrating the vicious mauling that enabled him to score victories over the leading mid- dleweights in the world, including Garcia, Solly Kreiger, and Fred Apostoli, Lee smacked around his sparring part- ners with merciless abandon, and had three of the four
