Whenever you forgather with sportsmen, some story In which Tiny figures is always sure to be toed. The latest relates to a golf came between Maxwell and Glenn Warner on a course in Florida. At the end of the game Warn r<r looked at his score card -and. said: i ??.Well. 1 had 134 for the round. Tiny, 1 figure you took 135." Tiny shok his head.

Count it for yourself." | Tiny handing back the card but mil even glancing at it. "that 1 did not nave 135. I had 137." Speaking of golf they say that if Henderson, Southern Califor nia foot ball coach, should enter a eoach't'S* golf match ho would be likely to win it.

The assignment of Major Charles Daly to Harvard Univer sity us assistant professor of mil-, itary science shows how the minds t of the football authorities at Cain-j bridge are trending. Daly, of' course, will bo used tor football. And lie will be one of tho most ' valuable men that Harvard -could sncure.

I OPERATION MAY MEAN COMEBACK MeTigue I ??1 to Ite a Knocker Out and If Sur ISi'on Ijiu l'ati-h IT p Maul iin May In- One Again. lly FAIR I'UY !?> Ttir Ailunrf) Xcw York. Jan. 20. ? Can It b? possible that Mike McTigue really has something wrong with hi* hands, especially his right, an<! that afior an operation has beet, performed involving the removal of a bone lie will do a Jekyl-Hyd* stunt and become a knockerout'' It looks that way. A really high class surgeon has actually gone on record to the effect that Mike has been troubled by floating bones ??r Something like that In his maulies and that when the flaws have been repaired ho will be able t>? hit out like a little man. Every fight Mike has had iti the past year or so ho lui3 put up a squawk about bad hands and the funny part of It seems to bo that the hands wero really on the blink. May be, when he has re covered from the offcctH of the surgeon's knife, he will become a dangerous guy for any one to face. As a matter of fact, some time back Mike was quite a knocker out. He used to stow away man -after man. Johnny Klesch's prom ising career was cut short by Mike and such fighters as Jack Stone. K. O. Jaffe. Gone Brosseau and some forty odd other young men were sent to sleep by him. lie won over Billy Beckett by a knockout In Jersey City two years ago and after that he seemed to logo punching power and became more defensive in his methods of milling. Mike h^s that when his hands get back Into shapdltie is going to meet nil contenders fur his world's title without fear or fav or Danny Kramer Is going to Join the exodus to the Pacific coast. Maybe he lias planned to go be cause I<ou Kaplan who beat him In New York a couple of weeks ago will be out there. Or perhaps he thinks that knowing California pretty well he will do better than most Easterners In that climate. NUKMI BUSY FOK NEXT SIX WEEKS New York.

VDE TOPS RECORD IN NAT L LEAGUE Percentage of (Junio W on in First Vour in Major l>eu|;ue Malrhe? llu|;he?* Performance in 1916. II) JOHN II. KOSTKI. (*'u|>? t,?l.l 1125 Iw T?i? Ailuiiri i New York. Jan. 20. ? Emit Yde. the kid pitcher of tin* National League, celebrated his very first year In major league company by ? quailing the record for percent age of games won In the National League by pitchers who hurled 10 or more games. Yde won 16 games and lost .1. for a percentage of S4 2. Almost as surprising as the fact that a kid ^pitcher ran up such an Imposing average Is the coincidence that he exactly equalled the old mark, .842. which was sit by Tom Hutches of Iloston. Prior to 1916, when Hughes made his record, there had been no pitcher front the beginning of National League history who had been able to produce such a largo percentage of victories. Eight . years later, a first year pitcher, who had left tho West to the ac companiment ?f hints that the tvast would do well to keep an eye on him. was able to duplicate his feat. Yde's work throughout the sea son was most extraordinary. For the greater part of the year It looked as though he were going to finish the season without a sin gle defeat. Should Yde succeed In 192fi as well as he did iti 1924. he would create for himself a two year rec ord without parallel in baseball, anl possibly one that would sur vive for all time. It Is hard to Imagine how long a period might elapse before any player would ba equally successful. The chances against such success are enor mous. There Is still nnother recosd mark about the Nationul League pitching of 1924. Yde was one of two pitchers to win more than 800 per cent of his games. Vance did the same thing. His percent age was 824. Anyone who Is tho least bit superstitious about fi gures can find something to think about In thoso figures ? Yde. H4 2; Vance 824. In which the arrange* | rnent of the last two digits Is the the only difference. For two pitchers of a major I league who worked in more than ten complete games to establish (percentage* above 800 is some achievement in these days of base ball. when tho batters have boon larruping the leather ho hard that I it has groaned whenever it has BAAKBAIiL QITKATIO* BOX If you h*T# IOIQI qUM tioa ask about baaebalT?
