, scheduled to be held In Portland
under the auspices of the vVaverly
V Country club during; the week of
June 20 to 25.
. With the announcement that Wal
ter E. Pearson will be chairman of
the tourney committee and the se
lection of C. Harry Davis Jr. and
- A. 8. Kerry as -his assistants, plans
i for the coming; gathering- are - fast
materializing:, although the session
Is a little more than-three months
".away. ". . ! "' 'i ;
The 1931 tournament will be different
s t from any of the previous annual affairs
T In several respects. Two courses wUl
be used at least the first three days of
- the coming- competition. It having: been
decided to take over the Portland Golf
club course as well as the Waverley
Country club links.
. SO OPE STENT
The customary open championship has
been eliminated 'from the 1921 prog-ram
and it may be that the affair will take
- place at a separate tourney later In the
season. Of all the chances the most
radical which Vas foreseen necessary
at Vancouver, B C-, last year waj made
In the P. N. G. A., amateur champlon
- ship.
The amateurs, for the first time, will
be split In two divisions, one In which
the amateur title will be settled and
the other to be known as the handicap
championship. All golfers with a p, N.
G. A.-rattogr of a 9 handicap or less
will be eligible for the amateur honors,
while all with handicaps of 10 or more
will be scheduled in the handicap con

scratch throughout, while play - In the
handicap class, will be on handicap, both
as to medal qualification and match

DAVIS CTJP OX TTJE8DAY V
It is the idea of the committee to
use the , Portland. Golf club course for
the handicap matches on June 20, 21
and 22, and then to transfer the play
to the Waverley links. The amateur
championship rounds will be held at
Waverley throughout the week, as will
the women's championships. ,
There will be 38 holes of medal play
on Monday at Waverley, followed by
IS holes for the first round en Tuesday.
After that first round, all subsequent
' rounds will be at 36 boles. The reason
for scheduling- only IS , holes for the
first round. Is to relieve congestion the
opening day of competition and in that
way it will afford an opportunity to play
the C. Harry Davis Jr. trophy matches.
The Davis cup affair is, one of. the
most noted team plays on' the Pacific
coast and considerable rivalry exists
between the various golf clubs.
All amateur, women's and handicap
finals' and first flight finals, will be
played Saturday. The finals in the sec
ond and additional flights will be played
Friday. .' .
v Special : events for - all the men,' Including-
handicap match ' play against
bogey, two ball foursomes, mixed foursomes-and
men's handicap will be pro
vided for the last four days of the cham
pionships meeting. For the Women there
will be mixed foursomes and a handicap
medal play.- -
With putting-, all week there will be

Champion of Lightweights
Keeps Chalking Up Kayos
NEW YORK, March 2. (t. N. S.)
, Benny Leonard, the ideal Cham
pionl j
As champions go, this is true of
Leonard in a strict sense. There
have been few champions of the last
decade who jjiave; defended their
titles as often as Benny, and fewer
still who have so consistently proven
their claims to class.
The new year Wa. but two Weeks old
when 'Leonard inaugurated his 1921 cam
paign at Madison Square Garden by
knocking out Richie Mitchell, one of his
foremost rivals, In six stirring rounds.
What a battle that was! And what a
triumph for Leonard ! ; j
Nearly as important as his victory
over Mitchell, from a public standpoint.
was the fact that Leonard .weighed in
at 114 pounds for the Milwaukeean, prov
ing- to the world that he is still a legiti
mate lightweight. And he also proved
that he can take a punch and come back
for more." :?'!' t '';-.- -" -i- ' ;
'Leonard's erstwhile critics are silent
how. Those who panned him, contend-"
ing that he should step out Of the light
weight class Into the welter division have
no comeback, jf or Leonard stands su
preme. During the present- winter, the
Brbnx boy established a record under
the hew ' Walker boxing law : Of New
Tork. He defended his title in three
bouts, and m each of the three he was
credited With a knockout victory. His
opponents were Joe Welling, Harlem Ed
die Kelly and Richie Mitchell.
"And how," Leonard says, "bring ori
the reat of them.- I will meet any boxer
who Is deserving of a chance at the
lightweight title.
"I have been boxing for eight years
and since I became Champion I've been
kept fairlybusy. When 1 won the title
I made up my mind to give every for
midable foeman a chance. I have tried
to do so.' There Is -one exception Lew
Tendler. .
"It has been no fault of mine that
Tendler and I have not met. He has
been telling the world for several years
that he wanted to meet the. But when
it came down to brass tacks a discus
sion of weights, forfeits, etc-- be wasn't
there. I will meet Tendlef any time he
agrees - to make the lightweight limit
and post a substantial forfeit. And this
goes for any of the others.
Leonard hopes and expects to have a
busy. -year. He would like to finish
cleaning up the lightweight division a
task that he has Very well under way-
before 1921 rolls around. ' And theft t
Perhaps he will retire. He is the pro
prietor of 'a thriving automobile acces
eory business in New Tork and he plans

ceeds in disposing of all challengers duf
ing the present year he may step down
and out, though it Is known that be has
an ambition to become a double cham
pion and is thinking of venturing into
the welterweight division in search of
honors. t ; -

TUESDAY
the year is 8ne-sided, in his favor. The
aspirants to the championship he holds
are AUfperous enough, but as compared
to Leonard in his present superb form
and potency as the boss of his class they
apparently stand little chance of de
throning him. All of the leading light
weight contenders are in the United
States, incidentally, and as Tendler is the
only one he haa not met and defeated it
appears that a meeting between these
two will be the biggeet event of the year

Phil Bloom, Johnny Clinton and Jake
Abel. In fact, the only boxer regarded
as having, class whom Leonard has not
fought in a regular bout, with the ex
ception of Tendler, is Willie Jackson.
Leonard and Jackson met in a four-
round exhibition bout in Madison Square
Garden in 1919 for the benefit of a war
charity and Leonard was so clearly
Jackson's superior that Willie has never
figured aa a persistent challenger for the
title until very recently. r f - ;

Garden and the privilege of a percentage

refused to "talk Turkey" regarding a
match with Leonard or what Rickard
considers reasonable 4erms, and Billy
Gibson, manager of the champion, re
fuses to sign articles in which the purse
splitting gives a challenger an unheard
of guarantee. Eventually, though, Leon

Chess Players of
Reed College Are
Called by Titles
Reed college chess players, who or
ganized last week, have adopted a con
stitution which introduces pre-war Euro
pean monarcbiat systems on the college
campus. According to the rules of the
society. Forest Foster, who was elected
president, must be addressed by the
title, "king" and Ellen Gantenbelri, who
was nominated for .vice president, is to
reign aa "queen." The club's officers,
who drew up the constitution, after des
ignating themselves in terms of nobility,
refused to extend the distinction, and
members of the club are merely known
aa "pawns," which, in chess, are very
insignificant pieces.
A further novelty in the club's bylaws
is seen in the difficulty In gaining ad
mission to membership. A student, de
siring to align himself with Reed chess
players, must challenge the Bociety to a
game, : He is assigned, an opponent from
within the club, and upon paying a fee
of "two bits as pledge of good faith" he
is allowed to play for admission. If he
loses, he is not admitted, but must again
challenge the club, and upon paying 15
cents he Is allowed to play a second
game- after -two weeks practice. If he
falls again he is permitted to challenge
as often as patience holds out at a nickel
a game. - : ;

over a score, and chess is vieing with

Heavy Loads

PHILADELPHIA, March IS. How
many shooters attach the, import-
ance to the recoil, or kick, that it war
rants t v
To the beginner this Is a big factor
and there are many who hesitate to fire
their first shot because of their fear of
the recoil.
Most every shooter can recall his start.
Borne were surprised at the light kick
of the sun. others found it was not as
bad as they had anticipated, and after
a time they completely lost sight of the
significant part it plays in one's shoot
ing average.
The human nervous system is, in many
respects, similar to an electrio battery
and any shock to the nerves, uses up
Just so much nerve energy. When this
energy becomes weakened to a certain
degree there is hot enough current to
give that snap or vigor to the muscles
required, therefore, the brain, eye, head,
beck, shoulder, arm, hand and trigger
finger fail to function properly, and the
dreaded flinch is the result. The recoil
ls thd cause of this in nine cases out of
ten. -r .:; -, .' , ;r .',
1 do not mean the recoil you fear
for U is seldom that a seasoned shooter
notices the recoil when shooting at a
moving -object, for his mind is concen
trated upon the abject, its speea, direc
tion and the lead required. That is
Just the trouble, for the involuntary
shrinking of the nerves from the shook
of the recoil Is seldom realised and you
can bear shooters say: ' .
"I never mind the recoil, X can shoot
any load." .
TAbtK ADVICE '
To these I always feel tike saying i
"I would like to see you shoot Sft-ltt
at 100 targets some day and see how It
affects you."
The old live bird shooters could tell
you something like this.
. Live bird shooting made many "flinch-
ers" among the target Shooters, for
heavy loads will do it. The great shoot
ers today use three-dram loads because
they have learned that the lighter the
recoil the . better their scores will be
day after day and the Stale periods will
come with lees frequency. Shooters go
stale when their energy runs low, and
until they take a rest, or miss so many
targets that they become disgusted.
thereby relaxing the strain And permit
ting their nerve batteries to recharge,
they will worry themselves sick, change
&unS, loads and everything they have
ever heard of a shooter doing to regain
their form.
. Pick out the load that will do the
Work, see that you have the lightest re
coil with normal velocity, a three dram
one and a quarter, and a light crimp
for this gives the best pattern and the
least recoil.

May Defend It
By Jack Veiock
TVpEJW YORK, March 12.- (L N. S.)
v No brighter figures grace Amer
ican sport than the two "Bills"
Tilden and Johnston.
Between them they have made so
much tennis history that their names
will live forever in the annals of the
net game. They stand today In a
class distinctly, their own. They are
the world's greatest racquet wlelders,
and aa for the individual ability there
Is no more than a hair, between them.
American tennis boasts many won
derful stars. Names like Williams,
Murray, Washburn, Garland, Behr,
pell, Church, Mathey. Griffin, Davis
and Richards are synonymous with
"class" in tennis parlance. But-the
topno.tchers--the beilcows--are the
two "Bills." !',"';'::.;.'
galling away to , far off New Zea
land last November our - scintillating
"Bills" met the capable and determined
Norman R. Brookes and Gerald Patter

that the tennis World gaped with sur

BRIHro BACK fHB CUP
Lifting the Davis cup and bringing it
back to America after an absence of
many years was a feat Well worth going
to the other side of the world to ac
complish, and the winner are justly
proua or tneir success.
In lifting the cup Tilden and Johnston
demonstrated that American tennis
stands today on the highest plane It
has ever reached, for although we have
had many Wonderfully brilliant, cham
pions and- Davis cup performers in other
years this pair takes rank over them
all.-
Confidence in themselves and, most of
all, In American tennis, was a big factor
in lifting the historic cup. And, as
Tilden recently . predicted in an inter
view given the writer of this article,
America should successfully defend the
tropny lor some years to. Come.
TTItl, MEET AQA1HT
Next summer Brookes and Patterson.
along with the best players from other
tennis fostering nations, will make
aetermined effort to take the trophy
away rrom its a on or nation once again.
Tilden and Johnston will undoubtedly
be named td defend the cup. Having
won It back they are entitled td play
In its defense, and as the challenge
round for the trophy will be staged
prior to the national championship there
will be no new champion to dispute the
right 'of either player. Tilden is the
present national champion and Johnston
tne runner-up. ,
The confidence 3 of the tennis-levin e-
pubtie in the ability of these two, stars
ts supreme. Those who have been for
tunate enough to see them in acUon In
big national tournaments have seen ten
nis demonstrated in its most brilliant
styles, and it goes without saying that
the American defenders will be top
heavy favorites when they enter the
challenge ' round ; against the nation
that survives the cup tiea So Just
put the two "Bills" down among Amer
ican champions who figure to hold the
grouna iney nave won during 1921.
T10EJT ALL-AROUND CHAMP
Tilden is an all-around champion. In
addition to sharing Davis cup honors
with Bill Johnston and holding the
national singles title, he Is the Inter-
r.auona-1 singles champion, the .na
tional indoor singles champion and the
national Indoors doubles title holder
along with young Vlnce Richards. And
he won all this glory In one year of
competition. -
N pl4r in the world can approach
Tilden in- the matter of service. His
IS the fastest, most accurate and dazzling
style In tennis today. The champion
backs up his terrific service with all-
around . ability and ha haa what ever
successful tennis player must have these
days -a i fine back-hand stroke. The
main .difference between Tilden's game
and that Of Bill .Johnston is the service.
Yet Johnston is quicker on his feet and
4 more perfect mechanical player.
JOHXSTOV BRILLIANT PLATES
-Johnston is by nature a, nervous yet
nerveless player. : IS short bis nervous
disposition does not Interfere in the
least with , his playing, and he has
what- tennis players call "perfect co
ordination of mind, eye and racquet is
meeting tbe bell." ; V
Johnston was a great tournament
player more than five years ago. He
was the national singles champion ' in
1915, The same year .he won the na
tional doubles with C J. Griffin. Jn
1916 R. Noma Williams won the national
title and Johnston was the runner-up,
but Johnston and Griffin clung to the
doubles championship.
Coming back like a whirlwind in
1919, Johnstone won the national sin
gles title a second time and also cap
tured the clay courts championship
Last year he and Griffith recaptured th
national doubles, while Johnston was
runner-up to Tilden at Forest Hills.
