MAY USE SECTIONAL
TESTS TO WEED OUT
GOLF COMPETITORS
Field in National Tourna-
ments Must Be Reduced
in Some Way.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Aug. at was LEANED
today that authorities Of the United
States Golf Association have practical
ly decided that the field in our great
national gOlf Journeys must be reduced
beginning in 1924. Officials are now
at work in the effort TO devise ways
and means. No formula has yet beer
worked out, it is said, but conviction
is strong that one will have to he be-
cause the long and tedious wedding
out processes of the qualifying rounds
of the great tournaments cannot con.
tinue. Officials Of the u. S. G. A., star
on this point.
1t may be said that the scheme of
sectional qualifying tests. one in the
East and the other in the West is re-
ceiving deep consideration and that il
may be applied. In fact there are
many things in the world more uncer-
tain than this. 1t is beginning TO be
appreciated that sectional tests Of the
sort would be an excellent thing for
the game and just why there should
be any talk of inadequate receipts is
not clear to the writer. Gate receipts
in golf are always inadequate and al
WAYS will be.
The whole question of financing ma
tional golf Journeys is complex. The
club which holds them receives a small
guarantee from the L. &. G. A.. but
this fills but the smallest link in the
leaking financial dam which confronts
the organization playing host to the
golfing experts. For example. it said
that Inwood spent some $4,000 IN
preparing the club house and course
for the open tournament of 1923.
To revert TO the qualifying tests, tn.
sectional idea is the best solution OF
the problem worked out TO date ana
unless something better offers all the
chances are it will be applied and hang
the expense.

build another ten rows of seats around
the upper rim TO take care of the
ticket sale, and extend the ringless
area back until it began TO climb the
incline. Ten rows of add'6 seats
each row half mile long would add
something worth while to the gate
There's 10 doubt that Firpo and
Dempsey would fill any arena that can
be built, at reasonable prices, from
all over the country. and thousands OF
spectators from foreign lands.

| trailing in with Bobby Jones, hope
lessly out of the scoring.
Perhaps life has been too easy for
Gene. When he was working his way
up TO. the open and the professional
titles,'last year, lie studied his courses
months in advance and trained up TO
the day of each math. Afterward,
when he beat Hagen in their individual
match, he felt that luck would always
run his way. But it doesn't do that
in golf.
Almost everyone 1 meet, who talks
about Dempsey and Firpo, seems TO
think that Dempsey will easily whip
the South American by dropping a
left hook on his chin when he pulls
back his right hand.
Personally, don't think il is GO
ing to be easy for Dempsey. It would
be easy if Firpo was slow. Firpo
has speed and plenty of it. With
speed and strength combined boxer is
likely TO do anything. Firpo doesn't
pull his right hand back so much
when ready to put the punch over.
He hits from lose TO his body, and
shoots the punch fairly straight. He
doesn't miss much. AT least lie didn't
miss Willard. When he failed to get
the right through Il Wizards body
it was because Willard had an excel.
lent guard against a body punch.
OF course Dempsey may drop the
| first punch over on F'rpo's chin for
n knockout. But it's 1901 shot he

DEMPSEY SAYS HE
WOULD LIKE TO BOX

Also Expresses Desire to
Meet Gibbons Again After
a Couple of Fights.

Chicago. Aug. 2.-Jack Dempsey,
worlds heavyweight champion. here
today. en- route TO New York where
he will begin training in few days
for his bout with Luis Firpo on
September II, said he was anxious
to meet the Argentine fighter al
though he would rather fight Harry
Wills first. He expressed desire
to meet Tommy Gibbons again, after
I've got a few good fights under
my belt"
Fighting is my business and I'll
fight anybody" the champion is
quoted as saying.
Asked if he thought Firpo would
have the bout postponed Dempsey
said he thought the wild Bull
would live up to his contract and 20
through with the fight when Pro-
moter Tex Richard wanted him TO.
He scoffed at the suggestion that
Firpo was afraid of the champion.
Don't worry; he's dangerous fell
low and not afraid of anyones" the
champion said. "If he was afraid
of me he never would have signed
for the fight. I'm not understanding
him. Any one who can punch like
he can is dangerous and / won't take
any chances with him."
He said Wills had asked for a
fight before Firpo had been heard of,
and he would like to give him first
chance at the title. but he thought
Wills would be his next opponent
after the Firno bout, providing he
disposed of the South American
heavyweight.
The champion said he was a bit
rusty at the Shelby bout. and at
tributed it TO his long layoff.
"Don't think Gibbons isn't ma great
fighter. I'd like to meet him again
after have counle more fights
under my belt. That's what I need
ed at Shelby. I'm as good as ever,
but / was n little rusty"
Dempsey planned to meet his man.

morrow and will open a training

Usually the power 10 initiate col.

Unions retain the power TO disap-
prove agreements and settlements be-
INK considered and TO prevent the en-
forcement of strikes. Thus there is
vested in these local unions the op-
portunity for LEGAL initiative and ad-
venture. This local initiative power
represents the life and progress Of
the trade unions. At the same time,
there resides in the International
Unions an effective check against such
collective actions on the part of local
unions as may endanger the lnterna-
tional structure or threaten the gen
eral welfare of all members of the
International organization.
The American Federation of la
Dor has no authority or supervision
whatever over the affairs of lnterna.

There are approximately $4,000 Of
