Recently at Juarez, I met Sam at one of the boxing shows there and inquired as to what he would do with the Mexican championship If he won it. "Do," said Sam; "why, boss, I will wait till that man Johnson gets into Mexico City, then I will make haste for that town, hire an auto with a streamer about it reading 'Sam Langford, Champion of and let Jack feast his eyes on that sign every time he turns a corner. That's what he tried to do to me when he was champion, and I want to hand him some of his own medicine." i Jack Johnson was awarded the decision over Farmer Lodge at Havana, Cuba, and it Is supposed to carry the championship of Cuba with It, That will give Jack an even break with Sam, so It may be that they can fight for the championship HIGHLIGHTS IN SCHOLASTIC SPORTS BY JAMES J. MURPHY. 0H.I6LIESSW mart rwai THE TDPP1ESH PLEBEIAN LID'! LAINTSO DUSTY, Johnny Gray Wins Easily Over Coster Johnny Gray, the little fighting blacksmith of go'lth nn easily over Frankle Coster of the same neighborhood after 12 rounds at the Broadway Exhibition Association last night.

The bout was uninteresting from the start, Coster refusing to exchange punches with Gray, devoting most of his time to holding Johnny. The spectators hissed and booed Coster for his lack of aggressiveness and the referee warned him time after time to "snap out of it." In the 7th round the boxing inspector assigned to the club went to each man's corner and warned them that if there was not more doing that he would throw them out of the ring. Coster paid little ttentlon to this and kept on hold ing. Gray hammered away at his opponent's body and at the end had Costers left side looking" like a piece of raw meat. Gray nearly won tne Pout witn a knockout in the fifth stanza when he sent a left hook to the law that rocked Coster to his heels.

Frankle grabbed Johnny In a vise-like grip and weathered the storm. Coster surprised the spectators In the final session by coming out of his shell and swapping punches with Gray. Johnny caught him with a right the jaw during the exchange and Frankle went back to his cling ing ways. Abe Friedman of Boston and Patsy Flannlgan, the Brooklyn wild man, hooked up In another bout of 12 rounds and what. Abe did to Patsy was a shame.

Flannlgan, who LI I By TOM S. ANDREWS. The -wheels of progreM grind slowly, but surely. Tbesus, the Greek, originated boxing In Athens 2,000 years sgo. Roman gladiators took up the sport, but It -was usually a light to the death.

In Rome and Milan contests to the death were held. The cestus, made of Iron with protruding knuckles over the hand, were used, and a heavy blow In a vital spot meant death. England Improved on this method by Introducing the bare knuckle contests, which Mr. Flm Figg adopted (or his exhibitions, and later brought out the padded gloves. Boxing became a lost art In Italy for hundreds of years, but the late war brought about its revival, the American boys and the British "Tommies" Introducing the mitt game on a large scale.

Then, too, the fact that several Italians weru so prominent in the boxing game in America, two of thorn holding championship titles, helped to enthuse the sons of King Humbert. The result was the importation of instructors from England and America and the development of some very promising lads. Imagine 40,000 spectators attending a boxing match at Milan, with many of the notables and some of the nobility present. They witnessed their heavyweight champion, Krmlnle Spalla, battle against the Dutch champion, Vanderveed the Italian winning out on points. Instead of the death-dealing cestus, the men used the upto-dat American gloves, weighing six ounces each, and Instead of going to a finish or death struggle, the men fought 20 rounds, the winner being decided on points scored.

Quite different from the olden days This Might Be a Good Match. Now that Johnny Wilson, middleweight champion of America, has gotten hack to ring work, why not Lrintr about an International match for the world's title? Roland Todd, the British champion, has proved himself the best man at the weight In Europe, and he is anxious for a battle with Wilson to settle tne world's chumplonship. Todd, when ho defeated Ted Lewis, demonstrated that he Ik a good boxer and also a fighter. There are few who know the game better than Lewis, but the lnttcr, try as he would, could not turn the tide ngainst him during the 20 rounds of fighting. Wilson "Is a southpaw and considered a fairly good man.

A battle between Todd unci the American would attract plenty of attention, either In London -or New York, and would settle the question of world's champion. "Tar Baby" nt Last Lands Title. It took a long time to do it, but yam Langford has finally landed a championship, even though it was for our sister republic. Mexico. For "ihany years the "Tar Baby" has been trying to Inveigle various white champions Into a match so he might grab oft a title and some money, but no chance.

Then Samuel tried to get Jack Johnson, when the latter was champion, into a match, but YQ' PAHTM.ENT AM SOLID, Is nbout the most awkward boxer In the ring today, had the New Engender guessing during the first three rounds by his crazy style, but after thHt round Abe solved Patsy's style and hammered him all around the ring. Friedman used a left Jab and right uppercut to good advantage and at the hell Flannigan's face was a sight. He was bleeding from the left eye, nose and mouth and was all in on his feet when the gong ending the bout rang. ltuby Stein of Williamsburg made a chopping block of Sammy Goodman of East New York In the six round bout. Goodman caught everything that camo his way and was a sorry sight at the finish.

Patsy Rogo and Lew Calons went to a draw In the opening four rounder. It as the best bout of the evening. New Jersey State Champs Will Start on Saturday The New Jersey state men's singles tennis championship will start on the courts of the Montclalr Athletic Club on Saturday. The competition is for a now challenge bowl which has been up for play during tho past two years. In 1921 it was won by Vanderbilt B.

Hitting golf ball comes so naturally to C'harlev that he had no trouble winning the medal at Van Cortlandt Tark yesterday after tying with his clubmate, Dukey Walsh, for low scorn in the qualifying round of the municipal golf championship. In the playoff for the medal Sommer had a 75 against Walsh's 77. Both Walsh and Sommer turned In qualfylng cards of 71, creditable going on the comparatively easy layout, when one considers the bad lies encountered on the fairways and tho heavy greens. Sommcr's Inward card of 83 was a notable achievement, rarely equaled at Van Cortlandt. Walsh, who started out with five consecutive 4s, had a two-stroke Uad over Sommer at the first two holes, the latter taking 6s.

Ho had a 3 at the third, however, and a 4 at the sixth, which cost Walsh a 5. Walsh finished out in 2, 4, 6 for a tolal of 37, while Sommer's figures were 5, 3, 5 for a 38. The latter gained strokes on his opponent at the 10th and 14th holes, hut got a tie when he negotiated the home hole in 3 to Sommer's 4.

The .32 low score men among those competing yesterday will continue today In match play to decide the municipal championship, the finals being played on Thursday. Owing to tne conflict in dates with the Metropolitan amateur championship, which begins Wednesday at Slwanoy, several of the competitors in the mu nicipal event will default their matches. Among these Is Harry Hcnarrr, tne Scottish American mightiest driver, who prefers to try his skill in the "Met" event. Scharff was oft form yesterday, requiring a 78 to get around, In place of his customary 75 or better. Another public links star who failed to cover himself with glory was Joes Ford, who took a 77.

Ford has often broken 72 at Van Alan Polnsette of the Newspaper Club played sound golf to come In third, right on the leader's heels, with a 72. Howard Juster, who knows every blade of grass on the Brooklyn Forest Park Links nnd who calls every Flatbush mosquito by name, found Van Cortlandt to his liking. Juster had a 76. Tied with him was A. Be-attie of the Clansmen's Club.

I. Tho-ren of Brooklyn was well inside the safety limit with a 77, as was the Indefatigable Hiram Serine with a 79. Mayor Hylan was to have opened the tournament by driving the first ball, but evidently the Mayor's nerve cracked under the strain for he delegated Corporation Counsel George P. Nicholson to act as proxie for him. Nicholson surprised himself as well as those who had assembled to deride his effort, by whaling out a beautiful 200-yard tee shot!

Dundee Carded For Three Titles In Two Months Johnny Dundee who long since established the record of being the busiest boxer that ever entered the ring. Is still living up to that record In a manner that has landed him in a dilemma that may place him in a position that will be altogether unique In ring history. As It Is now, Dundee occupies a place In the pugilistic spot-light that mak 's him the cynosure of the boxing world, fighting in three title matches within two months.

Last week Johnny Dundee fought In defense of the junior light-weight championship and lost the title to Jack Bernstein. When the match was made, a clause was Inserted In the articles of agreement whereby both lads agreed to meet again within sixty days, regardless who won. After winning the title, Bernstein declared that he would not back out of the agreement and will give Dundee a return bout for the title within the time stipulated In the original article. When this bout takes place It will be the second time that Dundee has fought in a title match within two months. Two title matches within so short a period of time Is something almost unknown in the annals of boxing, but Dundee's position is still further complicated.

When Johnny Kll-bane refused to abide by the mandates of Chairman Muldoon several months ago to box for his title the Commissioner dethrowned Ktlbane and awarded the title to Dundee. Later, the title was given back to Kllbane when he was matched to box Crlqul and both he and Criqui agreed that Dundee should be tho next contender for the featherweight title within' sixty days of the date of their contest. t. won the world's title on Saturday afternoon, just three days after the junlor-llght-welght contest at the New York Velodrome. Now Dundee is scheduled to fight two more title matches within sixty-three days.

Tho junior light-weight class was Inaugurated by the New York State Boxing Commission and as Dundee had been universally recognized as the title holder until he lost to Bernstein and had Issued deft to any fighter In the world at the stipulated weight, he very properly laid claim to the championship of the world in the class. Thus Dundee will be fighting two world's championship bouts if ho goes through with his schedule for the next two months; the Junior light-weight at 130 pounds, with Jack Bernstein, nnd the feather weight title at 126 pounds with Eugene Crlqul, of France. Can he do so and be successful In both contests? If he can Johnny will be acclaimed one of the greatest boxers that the ring has ever produced. He has a host of friends who believe that he Is capable of doing what he has planned. If tho programme Is carried through to a conclusion Dundee will have boxed three title bouts within two months.

Ernie Goozeman, former California featherweight, who scored a one-round knockout, over Joey Sangor In Milwaukee a few weeks ago, struck a snag the other night when he stacked up against Joe Fox, British featherweight champion. Ernie carried the fight to the Britisher all the way, but Fox was too clever to be caught napping.

Joe's blocking and head slipping was perfect, and at the end of the bout the scribes were divided as to the result, two calling It a draw, and two giving Fox a shade. In a long fight the chances of Goozeman winning would be much better; In fact it would be an even bet. Goozeman Is now considering a return match with Sangor, the latter being anxious to try and wipe out the double defeat Ernie handed him. Both Boxers Are Ready.

"I tcok up golf when I was 60 years old," said Mr. Truesdale, "and after two yefrrs of coaching by Donald Ross, I' beat Grant Peacock In a tournament when ho was a member of the Princeton golf team. That shows you that it does not take long to get somewhere in golf, provided you start right under competent Instruction." Golf and billiards have an affinity for one another. The man who has an aptitude for billiards usually makes good material for a golfer.

Charley Paul, the Westchester Hills crack, who is clever at tickling the Ivories, told us that It took him le than two years to learn golf by which he meant that he jumped from a crude beginner to a "first sixteen" man in about 20 months, "It's the co-ordination of eye and muscle that does It," said Paul. "Golf came natural to me after playing billiards." Ted Ray's prowess as a driver hab been widely extolled, but his facility with the mashie-nibllck has not been as well advertised.

It was a sad blow to the ffew Moon outfit, for in dropping yesterday afternoon's game Tommy Farrell, a former Columbia pitching star, had the mound assignment. In themajority of the games lost by the Brooklyn clubmen errors were their chief fault.

Yesterday's game was no exception. Added to this handicap, the New Mooners' pitcher was a trifle wild. Tommy was all set to take the measure of his alma mater, but was sadly disappointed. The Crescent team was the first to score, making one run in their half of the second. Bottlne ooened the session by beating out an infield nu ana went to second when Price threw Brascher's bunt wide to Gehrig.

Tommy Meehan whiffed and each runner was advanced a base when Pennock grounded out to Gehrig. At this Juncture, Vinnie Bot-tlng, the crack water polo player of Princeton, gave a daring exhibition of base running when he stole home. Columbia tied the score In their half of the second. After Strom dropped a Texas leaguer to right, he was out on an attempt to pilfer second. Roderick tripled to left and counted on a sacrifice fly by Helnzel-man.

The collegians went Into the lead In the third. Blattels walked. Price fanned and Kennedy reached first on a free ticket. After Moeschen filed out to Pennock, Gehrig was hit by a pitched ball, filling the bases. On Strom's blow to Pennock, Blattels and Kennedy jcored when Pen-nock's throw was wide.

The seventh found the Blue and White team adding another tally to Its total, clinching the game. The box score: Crescent C. Columbia i ab a Barker.rf.. 4 0 0 0 3 2 2 3 Nlcklas.lb 4 0 0 5 1 (I 0 I 0 Dugan.cf. 4 0 0 1 01 Gehrla.lb.

Juno 6 Army In rather astonish at the easy victory that the Cadets rolled up on ihe Brooklyn Poly Prep at lacrosse yesterday. The final srore was 21 to 1 gi'uls. It was the most one-Rlded game of the yenr. The only goal for Ihe Hrooklyn team was tho result of clever hiy between Hiimatlon Rtul .1 union In the final moments of the game. ira fiius Next to Mytelf I Wlffle Cox, the Marine and Field -Club professional, has been getting -the hang of the Inwood circuit In preparation for the national open "championship.

Wiffle has been consistently in the low sev-ntles even under adverse conditions. Last year, at Lido, when competing 'jn the Metropolitan open, Cox was well to the fore and had good chance for the prize until a wretched final round spoiled his aggregate. This year he has improved considerably and It would not surprise us to see his name among the first 15 at Inwood. Bill Kline, Garden City Country Club's scintillating young profes-rional, dropped in on the neighboring City Golf Club the other day and shot that difficult layout In a record-tying 70 by way of preparing for the Inwood test. Kline was about that 70 since the mem-hers of the senior Garden City circuit have been wont to deride the Junior links "as a cream-puff layout." "I guess 1 showed 'em that thflr old course wa3 not so much," laughed freckled -faced Kline after he had finished dodging the omnipresent mounds and pets.

Apropos of Garden City's famous 'old course, we noted that the heavy logs, or railroad ties, with which the trap fronting the first green was formerly faced to a depth of five feet, have been removed. Complaints were received by the greens committee from players who had risked serious Injury when trying to execute explosion shots from this sand pit. Balls that failed to clear the wooden barrier would be deflected Hke rifle bullets off the logs, whistling past the cars of the harrassed golfers. Fear of being hit In the face tended to produce flinching on the bunker shot, and the logs were accordingly removed. In one national champion-rhip we recall a "recovery" by Heine Schmidt of Detroit, which rebounded from the parapet a full 40 yards back onto the fairway.

Golf is a fascinating sport because it belongs to all ages. Tennis must be taken up in early youth If cne is to make any sort of progress, but golf can be learned by the chap Who has entered middle age, as wit. ness the astounding career of Walter J. Travis.
