NOVEL MATCH TO Mrs. Kew Wins Country Club Ladies' Cup By Last Putt Of Match
(By "Birdio")
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 desire 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, look a 10-1 bel 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- sionals, later tried this feat, and failed.

NE of the greatest handicaps there Is in golf is the mental handlrap.
I read somewhere recently of a "freak" match that was based on this factor. A low single-figure handicap player paired up with poorer Heller, and before the match offered the usual handicap of strokes difference. This was refused, and the suggestion put forward by the second man that he be allowed the privilege of saying "boo" at any three times during the round, there would be no stroke difference.
This was agreed to, and "paychologist" wan quite comfortably -and with two "boo's" in handi

the round.

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, Sally Kreiger, Williams (HQ) and Fred Apostoli, Lee smacked around his sparring part- nors with merciless abandon, and had three of the four boys who worked out with him sprawled out on the can- vas several times.
