EFFORTS of some golfers to attain
the natural golfing body action
usually results in a species of mechani
cal lurch forward of the body and this
is particularly noticeable in the case of
those who are termed "reformed crick
eters." They seem to have a compel
ling instinct which prompts them to
utilize the body when swinging the
club and in their effort to do so they
either lurch forward or are inclined to
jump on their feet; and although there
may be days when this class of player
can play a game almost the equal of
the greatest ia the land, still there are
just exceptional days when they are
timing their lnrcb, or their Jump, to a
nicety. The most reliable of all the
players who have taken to the game
comparatively late in lit are those
who keep the action of the body well in
control and stand comparatively firm
on their feet.
The present generation of golfers
stands firmer on its feet than the last,
partly for the reason that the present
day rubber-cored ball does not call for
an excessive body action it requires
a sharp, cn.-p blow, whilst the old gut
ta bail needed more persuading along
than actual bitting; but the introduc
tion of the American ball has been the
cause of quite a goodly number of mi
nor changes and alterations in the
character of the golflng swing.
PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Hugo Bezdek, famous football
coach and manager of the Pittsburg
baseball club, may have to retire from
all athletic work for good.
Athletic activity in youth doe not
necessarily Imply longevity of life. It
does not even Imply health In middle
life. Bezdek realizes this now as he
never realized it before. The Pirate
boss is ill with "athletic heart." and
during the past few weeks haa suf
fered to such an extent it was neces
sary to place himself under the care
of a heart specialisL
While there may be no cause for
immediate alarm in hla condition, the
fact remains that his heart has been
weakened through athletics and over
strain and only the greatest care will
give him relief.
Few men In this country led a more
active athletic life than Hugo Bezdek.
From the time he entered school he
waa active in all branches of athletics
Hs started in football, but also took
part in nearly all major sports Until
three years ago he waa as active as
any athlete, for during the time he
coached the University of Oregon foot
ball team, he was credited with work
ing aa hard and as fast as any young
ster on the team.
Bezdek always doubted the "athletic
heart" theory. A month ago, however,
the truth of ft was brought home to
htm forcibly . His heart palpitated at
times and seemed about to Jump out
of his body. He became dizzy and later
had difficulty in breathing.- His first
consultation with a physician brought
temporary relief, but in the past two
weeks annoyance in the heart region
became so severe he was forced to
leave Philadelphia and return to Pitts
burg for treatment.
Physicians have never found a rem
edy for "athletic heart." They declare
it ta caused by sudden stopping of
athletic activity when the heart mus
cles, become somewhat atrophied, and
do not function normally. Rest is the
alleged cure, but even this does not
insure against sudden stoppage of the
heart beat. Bezdek realizes this and
is shunning all excitement.

Men are paying more attention to value
nowadays than ever before. They want real
value and good style-but they want it at a
sane, sensible price.
And how well BUCKHECHT Shoes fit this
standard I Despite the growing scarcity of
good leather despite the steadily mounting
cost of labor and manufacture ; we have
adhered to our policy of putting into every
BUCKHECHT Shoe only top-grade materials
and top-notch workmanship. The net result
is that, in spite of rising costs, you can still
get comfort and wear arid service in a shoe
at a reasonable price. '
Small wonder, then, that men who know
how to measure true value have found that
their shoe-dollars go further in BUCKHECHT
Shoes.
At principal dealers in the West or if your dealer is
not supplied send tisr his name and order direct.

WICHITA, Kan.. Ausr. 20. Joseph G.
Wllhoit, Wichita Western league out
fielder, today ended his batting streak
in which he set a new world's record
by hitting; safely In 69 consecutive
games
The former record of 45 frames was
mane by Jack Iseas, Oakland, CaL, in
1915. ...
Wllhoit entered the game at the De
Paul university, Chicago, but In 1916
Joined the Vernon club of the Pacific
Coast league. From Vernon he Jumoed
to the Boston Nationals In 1917, but was
later released to the New York Giants.
The Giants sent him to Seattle, Pacific
Coast league, but in May he refused
to come to-lchlta on a trade for
"Lefty Thomas.
For a mpnth after coming to Wichita
Wilholt hit only .200. Then, on June 14.
he started . the batting streak . that
placed him in possession of the world's
record for consecutive hitting. In the
69 contests prior to August 20 he was
at bat 299 times and secured 151 hits,
a percentage of .505.' He' obtained five
home runs, eight triples, 23 doubles
and 115 singles.
Several days ago It was announced
that Wllhoit would go to the Boston
Americans in the middle of September.
When Joe Wilholt ended his consecu
tive batting 'streak at Wichita yester
day with a total of 69 consecutive
games to his credit he established a
record which will most likely stand for
years. First Baseman Jack Ness, when
with the Oaks in 1916, held the previous
record, hitting In 45 consecutive con
tests Ness' record started on May 31 of that
season and was wound up on July 21.
He went to bat 183 times, scored 36
runs, 81 singles. 14 two-base hits, two.
three-base hits and seven home runs.
.- Ness graduated to the Chicago White
Sox the following .season, but did not
make a go of it as a major-league ball
player. Willie Keeler, with the -Baltimore
National league club of 1S97, hit in 44
consecutive games for 82 base hits. He
started on April 22 and was halted on
July 19. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, Detroit,
hit in 40 consecutive games (or 80 base
hits O-om May 15 to July 2, 1911.
Joe Wiihoit, the new record holder,
has been sold by Wichita to the Boston
American league club. Wichita ob
tained him for a song from Bill Clymer
this spring. Clymer at that time was
managing Seattle. Wild Bill sold him
on the occasion of the Rainier visit in

out to Everding park tonight and take
fling at some more targets in the
moonlight and spotlight. Night shoot
ing, which was introduced last week
at the Portland Gun club, made a big
hit and seems bound on popular road.

The big question now occupying the
minds of the oficials of the gun club
Is the selection of a new caretaker and
manager of the grounds and club
house. "Colonel" Bill Breese, who has
been at the helm for several years, has
informed the directors that he wishes
to resign but will wait until another
manager is engaged. The ' directors
have several well-known trap game
men In view to fill Breese's shoes. One
in Seattle, one in Tacoma and several

successors. ' .

California fistic fans are enthusiastic
over Bill Larue, the Oakland heav
weight, -who gave Willie Meehan such
a lacing in Oakland the other day.
Meehan was touted to be the one ta
administer the beating but the tables
were turned. Larue, who weighed 175
pounds the last time he fought, entered
the ring against Meehan tipping the
beam at 203 pounds, which meant that
he was in some condition. Larue first
sprang Into prominence as an amateur
by winning the heavyweight title in
that class. He is a big husky battler
and has a good knowledge of the ring
game.
Larue left Oakland for Los Angeles
last Saturday with the intention of
entering the. moving picture game and
said before he left that the first "bird"
that he wanted to tackle was Elmo
Lincoln, the Tarzan of the screen, who
broke into "valuable" space recently
by challenging Jack Dempsey. Larue
says he is going to make Lincoln stick
to swinging his 10-foot papier maohe
club and make him forget all about
Dempsey if he ever gets him in the
ring.
Tommy Simpson, the Oakland pro
moter, is trying to arrange a four-
round' main event between Larue and
Tom Cowler, the English heavyweight,
in Oakland on September S. Cowler
received his start in Portland and is
remembered by many fans who used
to haunt Jack King s training quarters.
When last heard of Cowler was on
his way to Mexico to fight Jack John
son, but as yet nothing has come of
the bout, i . '

NEW YORK, Aug. 20. (Special.)
In all the years of. American tennis
there has been nothing to surpass the
entry which is assured for the 38th
championship which -will be played at
the West Side Tennis club at Forest
Hills, L. I., the week of August 25.
The winner may properly claim the
world's ohampionship, for Gerald L.
Patterson, the Australian "hurricane,"
defeated Norman E. Brookes, who held
the title, at Wimbledon in June, and
Patterson and Brookes will both play
at orest Mills.
As the best of the continental play
ers were entered at Wimbledon, that
may be considered as representative of
the best Europe can offer, while the
Australians of course will display the
tennis class of the Antipodes. Further
more, the entries of Watson M. Wash
burn and Dean Mathey will represent
the best of the American expeditionary
forces' 'tournaments, which were a fea
ture of the early season in France.
Ichyia Kumagae will uphold the honor
of Japan, and there Is a chance of some
South American players being in the
event.
Against such an invasion the United
States musters a remarkable array. R.
Llndley Murray, present champion,. Is
playing good tennis. Former-, title
holders who are moving toward top
form are William M. Johnston, who
held the championship In 1915, and
Richard Norris Williams II. who waa
champion in 1914 and 1916. With them
must be counted William T. Tilden II.
former clay court champion and
runner up to Murray last year, and a
host of other players.
Among the contenders must be men
tioned Maurice E. MoLoughlin, who was
title holder in 1912 and 1913. and will
take another crack at it this year;
Frederick B. Alexander, Walter Mer
rill Hall, William E. Davis, a Howard
Voshell, Clarence J. Griffin, Vincent
Richards, Charles S. Garland and a
number of others whose claims are not
to be ignored. There has seldom been
a season in which it was so hard to
pick a winner. By the first of August
someone usually is well on his way
toward first place, but the influence of
the war is seen in the array of young
sters and veterans-who are contending
