No Boxing irt State
Arnories, Is Order

ROXING promoters who may have
entertained hopes of leasing
state armories for the holding of
professional boxing bouts received
severe shock yesterday in the form
of lew which bars all such con-
tests.
The body blow was delivered in
statement from Adiusaut General
Leslie Kiucaid, who has jurisdiction
over all the armories in this state.
The statement follows:
Section 30a of the regulations for
the military laws of the state Ia
hereby changed TO read as follows:
THE holding of professional bog
Ing or sparring matches, bouts or ex-
hibitions in the arn,ories within the
state is prohibited by command OF
the Governor.
LESLIE kINCAID,
"Adjutant General"
This apparently kills all hopes of
the Republic A. G. getting a license
to hold bouts at the 1o2d Regiment
Armery. The question will be def
nitely settled tomorrow before
Judge McAvoy in the Supreme Court.

Reduce Purses
Given Players
Golf Association Fears Pres
ent Practice Might Have
Harmful Effect ON Game

Fearful that the various offers OF
large purses for professional golf tour
naments by various clubs throughout
the country might have harmful effect
on the game, the United States Golf
Association executive committee has
seen fit to take action. a letter issued
by Cornelius s. Lee, secretary of the
committee, to the member clubs Of the
! association, explains the committee
attitude toward this practice.
The letter is as follows:
"The executive committee has no.
| ticed, with some misgivings. the prac-
tice of offering unusually large purses
indulged in by member clubs and Sec
| tional associations for the purpose Of
| inducing golf professionals to compete
in open tournaments and exhibitions.
| while the United States Golf Asso-
citation has no desire to hinder or
hamper any professional from compet-
ing in prize money tournaments or
from earning money to the limit OF his
ability, nevertheless the present off,
cials feel that if the practice now in
vogue is not checked great harm will be
done in creating class of professional
players who will devote their entire
time and attention to attending tour
naments.
The executive committee is aware Of
the great development of the game of
golf within the last few years, both by
professionals and amateurs.
III is also aware of the keen desire
l'of the ordinary golfer, throughout the
country, to witness the performance of
I leading professionals and we assume
that the growing interest in tha game is
partly responsible for the money in
duccments offered in open competitions
1T is, therefore, earnestly requested
that member clubs and sectional asso-
Citations give this matter their earnest
consideration and, in the future, when
contemplating the staging of such tour
naments, that the question Of moderate
prize money awards be carefully con-
sidered, bearing in mind that if this
pastime is allowed to be commercialized
by professionals, as in other SPORTS, the
phenomenal interest now taken by the
ordinary golfer in the game will be
nullified TO great extent"
In another letter the committee an.
| nounced that arrangements for regis
tration department for golf profession
ais seeking new positions had been
made by the Professional Golfers AS
socation, and added:
This department will have on file
and available for distribution all nee
essary information relative to each pro-
fessional registered.
"The executive committee Of the
United States Golf Association highly
commends this innovation, and it re-
quests all member clubs seeking the
nf
to communicate direct with Mr.. Ernest
Anderson, secretary, Professional Golf
ers' Association, 366 Fifth Avenue, New
York City."

about 400 yards was NJ. Krinsky, also

seen that the Brazilian Cross athlstes

team trophy.

When he toed the starting mark yes

tinction of having won thirtean cham
pionships in succession, to say nothing
OF number OF handicap races In be-
tween the titular events. This is one
Of the mogt remarkable records Ga the
realm of sportdom. But Willie'e string
was broken not because Greenbers
was the better man but because the
Morningside A. G. star was In no con-
dition to compete.
Plant has had a cold FOR the last
week and the germs did thsir worst,
or best--depending upon whether you
take from Willie's angle or that Of
the germs--on the day Willie was to
defend his fifteen-mile title. Plant
could not be persuaded to stay out of
the race despite the fact that he was
a bit feverish and coughed often.

of the game the manner in which the
Westerners travelled was a sight to
behold.
Using their step Shift with perfect
cadence, which, incidentally, is not as
fast as last years, the South Bend
students ate up So yards in their final
march SO rapidly the spectators could
scarcely follow the play. A slant here,
a thrust, then d run; next a pass, then
another slant, and SO on, and the Notre
Dame eleven was standing on the very
threshold of touchdown. II had
made that march in less than five min
utes. Where those light backs ever
got their drive is beyond comprchen-
sion.
The Army coaches are enthusiastic
and unanimous about meeting Notre
Dame annually. And SO long as Rockne
is on the job tho Westeyner5 are
certain to be strong attraction.
