JESSE GUILFORD
BESTEDGARDNER
Boston Siege Gun Wins the
Amateur Golf Title by
Sensational Playing.
BY ROBERT E. HARLOW,
International News Staff Correspondent.
Country Club, St. Louis, Sept. 24.
Jesse Guilford, of Boston, is the new
amateur golf champion of the United
States. He held the title tonight, fol
lowing his victory over Bob Gardner,
of Chicago, by 7 up and 6 to play in
the final round of the tourney here
tver 36 holes.
Guilford was unbeatable and played
tvonderfully. He shot hand-in-hand
with par all day, finishing his morn
ing round in 73 and obtaining a lead
of six holes for the first round. In the
afternoon, he was even better.
The "Boston Siege Gun," as he is
known because of his long driving pow
er, started to warm up at the first
hole, when he dropped a long 25-foot
putt for a four and he kept getting
hotter as he went along. His mora
ing medal round of 73 put him six up
and, for the first nine in the after
noon, he tore off a 34. This gave him
a lead of eight, holes at the 27th.
WENT TO THIRTIETH.
Gardner kept the match alive until
the 30th hole, -where a halve in four
gave the title to the Eastern golfer oy
a 7 and 6 score. Gardner fought gal
lantly, like the game player he is, but
no man could have stood up under
Guilford's play today. Guilford holed
out on 29 holes in the match and for
all that distance was but two shots
over par. This was too good, especial
ly as Gardner was not playing at h'.s
top pace through the fairways and
was missing too many short putts on
the greens.
The match was too one-sided to bring
any tense moments, when everythin
would have depended upon a single
shot. Gardner held Guilford close dur
ing the first nine in the morning, at
which point Guilford only led by a
hole, but after that it was all Gull
ford.
Gardner cracked on the home nine in
the morning. He broke first on h
ninth hole when he topped his brassie
second into the cross ditch. He was
unable to get out with his third and
conceded the hole, Guilford being just
off the edge in two. Gardner then lont
the next two holes and the champion
ship "faded" for him.
Guilford succeeds Charles Evan-?,
Jr., Chicago, whom he dethroned in th
semi-finals yesterday. At present, he
holds the Massachusetts State cham
pionship.
He is a broad-shouldered, long-driv
ing six-footer in the early thirties.

PERCENTAGE BASIS IS
FAVORED BY OFFICIAL
By NEWTON A. NOYES.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Philadelphia, Sept. 24. One of the
strongest arguments for a rule to
force boxers to fight ona percentage
basis instead of a guarantee took place
here August 31 at the Phillies' Ball
Park.
The fans saw three bouts for nothing
and Promoter Louis Malis lost several
thousand dollars because Willie Jack
son and Johnny Dundee, New York
lightweights, who were to meet for the
eleventh time couldn't get a gate big
enough to pay them $5,000 apiece.
Malis offered the managers of Jack
son and Dundee $2,500 in cash and a
personal check for the remainder. Dun
dee's manager accepted but "Doc"
Bagley, manager of Jackson, demanded
cash or nothing. . The banks were
closed and Malis was out of luck. He
announced to the crowd that there
would be 'no, Jackson-Dundee fracas and
that their money . would be refunded.
Malis lost $4 V 00 paid for the prelimin
aries. If Jackson and Dundee had
fought on a percentage basis, they both
would have got about $2 000 apiece.
Director of Public Safety Cortelyou,
who supervises boxing in this city, is
a strong advocate of the percentage
basis plan and indicated-he may request
promoters to put it into effect here.
. ine only tair way or conducting a
boxing show is on the percentage ba
sis, ne said. tioxers are worth no
more than their drawing power. If box
ing1 should be put on such a basis here
and should any fighter refuse to ac
cept the money he drew on this basis,
no matter how small an amount, he
would never box in Philadelphia again."
The percentage basis is the only fair
way to the public, the promoters, and
to the boxers themselves, Cortelyou
said.
HOOK IS WINNER OF
ONE-CLUB HANDICAP
E. B. Hook was the winner in Class
A in the one-club golf tournament
staged Saturday afternoon on the links

HIGH WILL MEET
BAIRD'S SCHOOL
Lid on Local Football Sea-
?nn Will Be Pried Off
Next Friday.
By JASPER C. HUTTO.
Charlotte High's football team will
lift the curtain here next Friday at 3
o'clock in a game with Baird's School.
The game will b played at Independ
ence Park. Officials for the game have
not yet been named.
For the last two weeks, both High
and Baird have been going tnrougn
practice with a view to getting in shape
for the season. While unariotxe xugu
has three sauads out daily
for work.
prospects at the institution are none too
bright. The loss of men from last year's
regular line-up has hit hard, and Coach-1
PS jMurrUI ana smitn are naving lu unu
from the ground ur in most of the posi-
tions. However, the High School boys
have' the right spirit and have instruc-
Hrm v.fhinri them. These two elements
will certainly contribute much toward
building up a winning team. The iact
that most of the material is light is hav
ing to be overcome by quantity and the
spirit to carry on.
Baird's has been keeping under cover
so far, and the material at that school
is being moulded quietly Keece terry
hill, former Carolina athlete, whose
home is at Dixie, is m charge ot the
football squad- It is the hope of Coach
Berryhill that he will be able to show
something good when the Friday game
erets under way. Coach Berryhill was
busy Saturday putting his men in new
togs and preparing for the hard work
ahead of him for this week.
REBUILDING BACK FIELD
Coach Murrill is having to rebuild his
backfield throughout, while most of the
line is made up of new men. Lowe, who
was at tackle last year, is now running
at center. Morehead and Walker are
taking care of the guard positions. Mur
rill has yet to pick his tackles Captain
Tommie Clarkson will be at one end,
while Crayton will be back at his old
position at the other end. With two ex
perienced ends. Coach Murrill has one
less worry. Schiltz, Wilson and Harvell
are running at quearter. Wilson appears
to have the making of a punter.
Xorris and Partridge are running at
halves, while Kearns and Brown are run
ning at full.
Coach Murrill and Assistant Coach
Smith are working hard to drive the
squad into condition, using as many
of the thirty-five men who are report
ing as possible. Be it said to the credit
of the High School outfit that it is work
ing with all diligence and with just as
much vim and dash as if it had pros
pects for a world-beater- This is the
thing that likely will prove the salva
tion of the team and turn a gloomy pros
pect into a successful season.
Monday the squad is going to get
down to hard scrimmaging, and the
mentors have some hard sledding cut
out for the week.
GASTONIA HERE OCT. 7
Gastonia High , comes to Charlotte Oc
tober 7 for the second game of the sea
son. This is likely to prove a good lraw-
ing card, with the Gastonia following
bringing a good bunch of rooters over.
October 14 will find Concord High here.
Concord and Charlotte are old rivals
and the game ought to go well. Hamlet
will come October 22, while Greensboro
will come October 28, according to pres
ent arrangements. Winston will come
here for one game, and Charlotte will
play a return game. At least one more
game will be scheduled.

TECH DEFEATED
BAPTIST ELEVEN
Wake Forest Passed Up an
Excellent Chance to Score
on Georgians.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 24. Georgia
Tech's Golden Tornado breezed to its
first victory of the season here this
afternoon, downing the Wake Forest
eleven from Tarheelia oy the lop-sided
score of 42 to nothing.
Both teams were eenerous with sub-
Btitutions, but Tech had it all over
the Baptists in this respect. Practical
ly every man in uniform and some
who were in rags entered the fray for
Tech, while Wake Forest used all the
men brought along.
Barron, Brewster. Murphy and Le-
bey led the Tech assault, which was
not halted for- a single period
was held to one ( touchdown
but whi-m
in each of
the last two periods, in which both
icams wm. up mio me an iur. uioir
scores, which was not quite as success-
f ul as they apparently had hoped it
would be.
Harlan, Tech, won the toss and
elected to defend the south goal. Heck-
man kilkcu on ana nanan, wno
fumbled when five yards out, Waka
Forest recovering. Three line plunges
failed to budge the Tornado forwards.
A forward pass, Heckman to Wester-
hoff, on the fourth down, then was
grounded.
That was the last chance Wake For
est got. Putting the ball in play cn
her own 20-yard line, Barron skidded
end for eight. Brewster, Harlan and
Barron made a rush each, carrying the
ball to Wake Forest's 20-yard line. Fol
lowing a five-yard off-side penalty, Bar
ron, went across for Tech's first 1921
score.

DEFEAT OILMEN
Polarines, Reinforced by
Hornets, Could Not Beat
Opposing Outfit.
"Ole Dad" Prim and his husky bunch
of ball tossers from Gaston county
champs, an 8 to 3 trounMHMHMHMH.
handed the Polarine, City League
champs, an 8 to' 3 trouncing at Wearn
field Saturday before a large crowd of
dyed- m the wool rooters, many of whom
came from Gaston county.
The Polarines were reinforced by
Manager Ralph O'Connell, Tommy Mill
er and Lance Utt, of the Hornets; Fritz
Belk of the. Spencer team and Hilton
and Guthrie of Chadwick-Hoskins fame.
But even with these additions the
homesters were badly beaten.
Prim showed a regular Class C league
outfit. Bob Kirke, of the Hornets, pas
timed in right field, garnered three hits
and made a sensational steal of home;
Irby, of the High Point Piedmont lea
gue team was in center. He walked
three times and was hit with a pitch
ed ball once; "Seven Foot Molly" Cox,
of the Florida league played aj fast
game at first; "Smut" Smith and
'Buck Stacks, of many teams, were
at third and short respectively, while
Kay, of Harold Irelan's Kingsport Ap
palachian league champs was behind
the bat. . '
Donaldson pitched airtight ball for
winners and was seldom in trouble.
He hiffed no less than 10 of Manager
Kilham's pets and looked like a real
heaver.
These teams will clash at Wearn
field Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week and some- classy baseball
should result. Captain Ward, of the
Polarines annoui ced that he would
place his regular team augmented by a
pitcher, in the field for these games.

Davidson Never Threatened to Score, Making But Four

Forwards Warren Used Many Substitutes.
Charlottesville, Va., Sept. 24. Vir
ginia today prized the lid off her 1921

FOOTBALL RULES
ARE CLEARED UP
Officials and Coaches Inter
pret Hazy Wordings at
Meeting Last Week.
BY WALTER CAMP,
Staff Corrc-Knondent of The X pk
Copyright, 1021, by News Publishing: Co.
New York, Sept. 24. The chief sub-
ect of discussion in football circles ;n
the last few days has been the inter-!
Efl'f "n.? S?J7 ih5l
ucic ui ouiiic ul tne mini
who will have to enforce these rules
this season and who will have to train
their teams under them. A 'number
of important points were agreed upon
by the coaches and officials assem
bled. The rule regarding the substitution
of players, was felt to need clarifica
tion in connection with the phrase "tne
change has been made." It was voted
that officials would rule that, as soon
as the substitute had reported to tha
official and had designated the player
who was to retire, that "the change
had been made."
Another point which was discussed
arose in connection with a fair catch
when the time for the period elapses
immediately after the ball is caught.
The rule permits the team making the
fair catch the privilege of their kick,
although they may not put the ball
play by scrimmage. The question
arose whether, if the kick was made
and the goal was not scored, the ball
became automatically dead immediately
after it was kicked. It was ruled that
the ball remains in play after the kick
and the opponents may catch it and
run it back. Or, in the case of a fum
ble, the side kicking it may. recover it
and may actually make a touchdown.
In Other words, the time of the perioJ
continues until the ball again becomes
dead and the referee blows his whistle.
This, of course, does not apply in the
case of a try at goal from' touchdown.
RULE ON FORWARD PASS.
The rule regarding a forward pass,
which becomes incompleted behind tne
goal line of the passer, was ruled u
apply whether the pass was made from
the field or behind the goal line. Offi
cials are required to observe a strict in
terpretation of the rule forbidding the
offensive side on a forward pass from
interfering with the defensive side.
It was decided that, on the kick-off,
if a player of the kicking side touch
es the ball, even without catching ir,
before it has advanced ten yards, tho
ball is not in play and must be kicked
off again. The officials at the meet
ing determined to interpret "clipping"
or cutting down from behind by throw
ing the body laterally across the legs
of a player not carrying the ball, as
unnecessary roughness.
After much discussion of the 'man
in motion" clause of the rule govern- j
ing shift plays, the meeting voted to
request the rules committee to approve
and suggest a wording for the principle
expressed in the following: In all
shift plays an interval of time shall be i
allowed to elapse '' sufficient to pernut I
the officials to see; first, whether the I
play is legal, and, second, to determins '
whether the ball was snapped while
the men were in motion. It is hoped
this will lead to additional clarity re
garding phrases "man in motion" and
"both feet stationary on the ground
in the rules governing shift plays or
men in motion before the ball is put
in play.
All of these are most important mas
ters, for it is upon the rules and theh
interpretation that the game will rise to
further high standing or retrograde to
a less satisfactory position. The ques
tion of balance betweeii attack anl de
fense is a vital one and the game in
this regard will be studied closely this
year by many experts. There have
been those who believed the forward
pass had made such advances as to
overshadow the running game an I ho
believed football was changing Lico
basketball. So far. these contentions
have not been proven but the game of
1921 will be closely watched on ac
count of them. And it is on the basis
of the rules and their interpretation
that the coaches must . devise their
plays and train their men.
PURPLE HURRICANE
DEFEATED ERSKINE
Greenville, S. C, Sept. 24. The "Pur
ple Hurricane" of Furman University
defeated the Erskine College eleven
here today by a score of 42 to 7 before
a crowd estimated at 4,000, the largest
crowd that has ever attended an open
ing game here. Furman defeated Er
skine 42 to 0 in each game of the pre
vious two years,' and would have held
the Seceders scoreless today but for tho
sensational gains made by "Dode" Phil
lips, star back, who gained 28 yards
on one run and followed with a gain of
32 yards for Erskine's lone touchdown.
Lee Rhame, who is also playing his
last year, maae most or Furman s
gains, although Bradley Fleet, Furman
end. picked up a fumbled ball and dash
ed 50 yards for a touchdown. Chem
ning, Portsmouth Virginia High School
player, who is taking Speedy Spe'er's
place, seems to have the punch and
picks his openings, but is slow in get
ting away. He went into the game dis
abled and was forced to retire in the
third period.
, Furman used a half-dozen substitutes
while Erskine's sauad numbered only
17 roeu.
