PLANNING A GOLF CLUB
Wealthy Enthusiasts of Pasadena and
Los Angeles Would Locate 1t on
CampbelI=Johnson Ranch

Plans are afoot for the formation of
a golf club which will erect $4,000
club house and construct a golf course
on the ampbell-Johnson ranch, which
is Immediately south of Cawston os-
trich farm.
Several wealthy enthusiasts residing
in Pasadena and Los Angeles are said
to be interested in the project and
they are joined by several eastern win
ter residents of the Grown City.
The club will in reality be a Pasa-
dena enterprise, but Los Angeles and
eastern golfers who are properly ac-
credited will be eligible to member
ship.
among those who are active in the
promotion of the plans are Colin M.
Stewart, Col. Wentworth, Hotel Mary
land, Hotel Green, j. H. Holmes and
G. G.. Green.
The plans of these men are to build
an elegant club house and improve the
grounds without regard to expense and
make of the new club a representative
golf organization in the southwest.

CYCLONE THOMPSON COMING
Clever Chicago Lightweight Expects
to Get Matches on Coast With
Topnotchers in His Class

Johnny Thompson, known in Chi
cago as "Cyclone" Thompson, has an
nounced his intentions of locating in
Los Angeles within the next few
weeks, and will make an effort to Sc
cure matches with the best 1873 or
1856 pound local men who are out for
his game.
Thompson has record of $50 fights
in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, and
in only one instance has his opponent
in the ring been able to hand him the
slumber drops. He has fought Bat
tling Nelson, Charley Neary of Mil
waukee Otto Seloff and other good
ones
In his fights with the "Battler,"
Thompson lost both decisions, but in
each instance there We're those in the
crowd who yelled Justify that a draw
would have been the proper verdict
Thompson fights the same kind Of
a fight that Nelson does. When the
gong rings he Is after his man and it
is biff, bang, biff until the other fell
low is knocked out or the scheduled
number of rounds have been fought.
In his last fight with Nelson neither
man was able to see out of either
eye ten minutes after the fight, and
those who might be inclined to ques-
ton this statement will only have to
consult Nelson to have it verified
1t was a six-round affair at Chi
cago. There were mixups in each
round that looked as if a knockout
would result, but it failed to arrive,
and when the last round came to a
close the two little bull dog fighters
almost had to be led from the ring
because of the four black eyes re-
ceived during the contest.
Thompson is about 27 years old,
doesn't touch a drop of liquor has
never used tobacco, and does his
training on his own farm. This has
led to a nickname of Cyclone" or
Farmer" Thompson.
In build Thompson is a trifle under
height, but his muscles stand out like
so many bundles of whipcord and he
Is shifty on his feet. He does not
know what it is to throw a fight and
the man who proposes such an ar
rangement to him had better do so
at a distance, for the eastern lad
fights for the game itself and because
he likes to fight.
Thompson has written to a member
of The Herald staff, who has wit
messed scores of fights where Thomp-
son had delivered the goods, that he
will arrive within a short time to make
his home here.

BOWLING RECORD DISCARDED
Walter Tuthill's Remarkable Record at
Louisville Tournament Set Aside
Because of irregularity
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 23.-The
executive committee of the American
Bowling congress late last night set
tied the protests of j. j. Rowe of
Cleveland against permitting men to
bowl singly and in two-men teams be-
fore they played in the fives by per-
mitting Rowe to put his men on after
midnight this morning. Rowe's pro-
test will therefore be withdrawn.
The best scores of the morning were:
Five-man teams-Floss Colts, Buff
falo, 2539.
Two-man teams-Mauple and He'll
wig. st. Paul, HI; Elmore and Shock,
Peoria, 1916; Murphy and Tuthill, Chi
cago, 1886
Individuals-J ]. Rowe, Cleveland,
$50; Knoll, Cleveland, sos; Prouty,
Cleveland, .529.
The executive committee today
threw out the record of 675 made last
night by Walter Tuthill of Brooklyn,
who was rolling as a substitute for
Carleson of the Chicago Centurys. This
leaves D. Meyers of Detroit the high
man in the individuals at $50.
Tuthills record was discarded be-
cause Carleson should have engaged
Stevens, the man who bowled for him
in a previous contest.

BIC MEET WILL
Be HELD TODAY
TRIANGULAR TRACK EVENT AT
U. S. C.
Outcome Will Determine Personnel
of All Southern Team Which Is
to Compete With University
Aggregations of North

Unless the u. S. C. campus is COM
pletely flooded by water this afternoon
the triangular track meet involving
Pomona college, Occidental college and
the University of Southern California
will occur on the Methodist oval.
Previous arrangements We're to the
effect that the meet be held on the
Occidental track, but the wet weather
has played havoc with the path and
as a result the competition will be
pulled off on the U. S. c.. grounds,
which because of superior drainage.
are in fast condition fifteen minutes
after a rain.
Every effort will be made to carry
out the plans for the triangular meet
today as the result will determine
which men will leave Thursday next
for the north to compete with Stanford
and Berkeley.
st. Vincents will not enter team
as several of the men to be relied upon
for point making are in no condition
to participate, Wilhoit fractured his
left shoulder in a basketball game last
week and his physician predicts that
the Santa Paula boys athletic days
are over.
The accident to the star Vincentian
athlete is perhaps the severest blow
that has befallen southern athletics in
many a day, for the young track man
has given evidence of remarkable field
prowess.
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the all-southern track team
will leave Los Angeles Thursday morn
ing next for the north. The aggrega-
ton will reach Stanford the same even
ing and will compete with the Cardinal
cinderites the day following.
The Angel city athletes will be en-
tertained at the various Stanford frat
houses until April 2, when they will
go to Berkeley and meet the California
team in the afternoon.
Harvey Holmes, the U. S. c. coach,
will have charge of the all-star team
during its northern trip, although not
more than three university athletes at
the most will travel north.
Pomona is to contribute the great
est number of men, as her representa-
tives have proved themselves more
capable of winning points as a team
than any of the other southern col
leges.
An effort will be made to have only
first points count, and If the PROPOSE
tion meets with the favor of the Stan
ford management it will add greatly to
the probabilities of southern victory.
Today's meet will commence at 2:30

EXPECTS TO DEFEND TITLE
Miss May Sutton Sails for England
Last Week in June to Play in
Annual Tennis Tournaments

Miss May Sutton, abdicated woman
tennis champion of America and holder
of the English woman tennis cham
pionship, will sail from New York for
England the last week in June and will
defend her title while abroad.
Accompanying Miss Sutton will be
the American challenging team for
the Dwight f. Davis international
challenge cup. headed by DIR. James
Dwight, Frederick G. Anderson and
Raymond D. Little. the American COM
mittee in charge of the international
team.
Before sailing for England Miss Sut-
ton will play in tournaments in many
of the eastern cites and will be accom-
panied by two and probably three of
her sisters.
English Lawn Tennis" the current
issue of which has just been received
in this country, gives a ranking for the
season about to begin. In the list of
women players Miss Sutton is rated
first, with a remarkable record. For
the three leading championships OF
Great Britain, which she won, Miss
Sutton is credited with winning six
teen matches. thirty-two sets and a
total of 204 games.
She did not meet defeat in any match
or lose a single set in all of these con-
tests, and only lost seventy-five games,
which do not figure in the final result,
Her average for this brilliant showing
was 81 which is not even approached
by any of the women or men lawn ten
mis- experts The average of Miss Doug
lass, ex-champion, for approximately
the same play is .S39.
The English rating of the men play
ers also includes the Americans who
contested in the internationals of last
year. H. l.. Doherty, the champion
heads the list, followed by Beals C.
| Wright, Norman E. Brookes of Aus
tralia; S. II. Smith, Holcombe Ward,
William A. Larned and A w. Gore,
William j. Clothier is rated seven
teenth.
From information the English Lawn
Tennis association has received, Beals
G. Wright, Frederick B. Alexander,
Holcombe Ward Kreigh Collins and
Clarence Hobart comprise the list that
the American team will be chosen from
1t was learned yesterday that Ward
had consented to join the team this
year, which practically settles the dis
pute as to the makeup of the challeng-
ing doubles pair, as it places him with
his old partner, Wright.

Hart Is Desperate

Marvellous Hart is becoming desper-
ate the more he cogitates upon his lost
claim upon the heavyweight champion
ship. He has accepted an offer to do
battle with George Gardner on the
promise that if he beats Gardner he
will be given date with Gus Rubin.
Hart says he will get reputation and
then make Burns hunt a small hole
to crawl into or give him another fight.
Hart says he will bet Burns $4,000 he
can knock him out in twenty rounds
ii the fight occurs at Frisco and Eddie
Graney is the referee, or he will go
six rounds with Burns at Philadelphia
and will forfeit a huge sum of money
if he fails to get the decision. Looks
like easy money for Burns.

Buddy Ryan Retires

The fighting days of Buddy Ryan are
over This announcement comes as a
result of an operation in which Ryan
lost his right eye. The eye was cut
by his manager, Johnny Reid, some
months ago during a fight between
them. Ryan believed he would regain
his eyesight, but sustained an injury
to it while fighting with Jack Dough-
erty recently and the surgeons notified
him that unless the injured optic was
removed he would become totally blind.
Ryan was technical welterweight
champion at one time and is a popular
boxer. A movement is afoot to give
him a monster benefit in Chicago this

BowIinu "Lookinu Up"

Interest in bowling circles in Los
Angeles has been stirred to a definite
form by the excellent showings made
during the past few wetks by indi-
viduals and teams and much discus
sion is indulged among the devotees
of the game which seems to indicate
that the outcome will be the formation
of distinctly bowling organization and
that the game will be fostered and
promoted in a manner that has never
before been attempted. There are
many good bowlers in Los Angeles
and excellent material has been de-
veloped which would justify such a
move.

very sensitive regarding the decision
and says that if he had been per-

would have won easily. Mauro says
the referee made him box straight
rules, no fighting in clinches. and the
Kid had all the advantage. Mauro
is a rough house artist and shows to
better advantage at this style of in
