SLAM TO
MUCH FOR MU1R
Australian Falls Victim to
Charley Hansen in
.heavyweight Match
, Charley Hansen. 200-pQund Seattle
h'eavywetght Wrestler, won trotn. Bori
Mulr, 205-pound Australian cham
pion, here last night with a body
slam, the match ending in, the fifth
round With dramatic suddenness,
Mulr had Hansen half groggy with
a series of punishing head locks, when
lack of caution gave Hansen; the op
portunity to get his favorite hold,
and It was curtains for the boy frpm
down under.
. Muir Mulr crashed to the mat
With a resoudlng thud and was out
cold. He was carried, to his corner
. and thence assisted to the dressing
room, but it was many, minutes be
fore he thoroughly recovered, and
Referee Ray McCarroU awarded thi
fall and the decision to Hansen. .
Best of the Sens on - ' ,
The match, which was well attend
'fid, was one of the best ever staged iti
La Grande. The two men were ex?
cepUomtfly well matched. Muir, only
niiu in me wresting game live
years, was far quicker than Hansen,
but the latter made up for this with
his .nat caginess. .
The first two rounds were fairlv
even, with .both men alternating in
'offensive tactics. Hansen was rely
ipg largely upon scissors while Muir
was using l)is. headlocks and toe
holds, When time cajne at the end
or the Thira round Muir had a pun
ishing hold on Hansen's arm.
. The fourth round was crammed full
of action, . Mutt's headocks had Han
sen going but the Seattle grapples
took the offensive when he clamped
on a body scissors, but Muir broke
it.. 'A moment later, the referee ,was
locked half ' way ocr'oss trie firitj
when he received a kick in the facq
during a . momentary melee on the
mat. -'
. . .Hansen Clrojrgy
Mulr continued his aggressive tac-
tics and Hansen sought refuge out-
: 'side the ropes for a few seconds,
'More headlocks Were applied and
' Vhen the fourth round, ended, most
fans were of the opinion that a lit-
.tie more time would have given Mulr
a toll.-7. , .
The only fall of the match came
shortly after the fifth round begin.
Five negroes participated in a bat
tle royal to open the card last night,
and this was followed by a three
round match between Young Nelson,
of Elgin, and Kiel McCoy, of La
Grande. Nelson took a first fall in
tho second round In two minutes and
32 seconds, and the Elgin man made
it two straight in the next with a
deciding fall in four minutes and
15 seconds. The 'two were well
matched and the event was popular
with the crowd.

weakening under Evko's headlocks. j

This Game
Of Golf
By O, ft. fceeler
, The announcement that the next
prltlsh open championship, to bo
played for the first time at the old
Scottish golfing town of Carnoustie,
will carry a penalty of distance only
for an out-of-bounds shot, Inspires
Harry Vardon, tho "Old, Master'' to
rather caustlo comment. .-
Yafdon's commont grew out of tho
Circumstance . that the amateurs,
playing the British amateur competi
tion at Westward Hoi will be pena
niitrtr in tfan nniin hfl tk oi. ntt
with half of that cost' for h misplaced
snot oft the course.
Vardon admits as we .on this side1
Of the Atlantic- have realized for
some years that some golf courses
offer many more opportunities for
going out of bdunds than other golf
courses. - - , . . .
. I remember that . the penalty for
the "O. B." shot at the St. Louis
Country club In the national amii.
teur of 1021 was dlstanco only:, but
therii were no fcWer tliah M nlftcBs
where ono might oonvenlohtly ,hlt
one out of bounds, . .
This, In Vardon'e opinion, does not
altogether excuse an exemption, or
part of -ah exemption, .on. the course
where It Is easy to get out of bounds
frequohtly. - - '
. He soys: . ''.:
"Whatever we m -think of the
plausibility of theso rospootlvo Ideas
of Justice, the fact remains that the
character 6f a bod shot is riot mod
ified by the existence f many op
PQi'tunltlcs for making It. Rather,
this latter factor ought to act as a
deterrent.

shut out :
from their lives
. ' 1 ..' (
This U good, hard doctrine, from
the man who once (he admitted this
modestly to me ln.1826) played golf
steadily for a year and a half with
,dqt being off the fairway from the
tee. , , , ; ., .
' The stroke - aiid - distance penalty
always has seemed somewhat exces
sive to me. for a shot struck out of
bounds. At the worst, the ball was
struck somewhere. The worst fault
that con be committed in golf is, of
course, to miss the ball completely.
But there is- tio penalty other than
tho stroko thus misemployed. Cer
tainly It is not so bad a stroke that
propels the ball, anywhere, on tho
course ot off;
: Robert Gardner, former (and twice)
national . amateur champion, once
failed of. qualification in a similar
championship because from the sarno
tee he pulled three consecutive drives
out of bounds and thus was playing
7 ooxore no -ever got pn -tne tee. -..v-
i remember, too, that Bernard bar
win and Horace Hutchinson, playing
ah extra hole In a match in the Brit
ish amateur championship at Hoy
lake, managed between them .to place
seven balls out ot bounds on this
single hole; but in this case IhOIr
transgressions merely cancelled each
other until one of them I forget
which finally hit one In bounds
and won the hole and the match-
'" For years it
has i?oen 'my fancy
that a fair regulation would be
uniform penalty of distance only (or
one stroke) for a ball out of bounds,
a lost ball, or an unplayable He.
In any of these cases, the player
'lit least has struck the ball, which
''Is better than missing It completely
which Is penalised only by the
i counting of the missed stroke, dnd
