High team set 900 1873; Accounts
High team games-Accounts, 563; Solicitors,
$50; Soils. Property. 55S.
375: Kettler. Benner, 373.
High Individual games-Adams, AS; Benner,

Benner of the Accounts five oc-
cupied the spotlight during the past
week, his set of 373. with high game
of IA, aiding his team to take two
out of three games from the fast
travelling Interbureaus. The surpris-
ing thing is that he did not beat 400,
the breaks" going against him.
The team set of 1,616 for Accounts
was the second highest registered
during the season and their first
game, 563, the highest for the year.
The Interbureaus>had q set of 1856,
good enough for sweep under or
binary conditions, but not against
Benner & Co.
Another hair-raising match was
that between Economics and Prop
erty, the former team winning two
out of three. finishing with game of
548 and 546 against 535 and SIT, I'M
usual contests for CLOSED" league.
Dixon of Economics had high set
with 337, his best game being 131.
Gowan, with a set of BAL, dominat-
ed the Soils-Plant Bureau match and
was responsible for Soils taking two
games and holding first place against
the Economic climbers" The finish
was heart-breaker for Plant, since
| 1t was leading by margin OF 10 pins
| in the ninth when Gowan counted a
| strike, got a spare on it and then
added Z pins on the spare, these ex-
ira II pins putting Soils over. In
cidentally, Gowan is leading the in
dividuals with the highest rating
ever attained by an Interbureau
| bowler with the season so far ad-
| yanced-111-2.
Public Roads crept up notch by
| taking two games from the Solici-
citors' team. HUMPHREYS Of Roads
counting 336 for the highest set OF
! the match and Capt. whelan of Roads
splitting 1873 for high game. Murphy
and Allen rolled well for Solicitors
with counts of 323 and 314.
Lindstrom OF Interbureaus figured
in All set during practice match
| last week. He is expected to cause
the present leaders considerable
worry before the season ends.

ply thrills a-plenty when they clash
in the final game hereabout today In

O'Clock.
Rivalry between the clubs which

In Fee Colliere and Cornell, Man
ager Frank Kersey of Waveriy has
two of the most talented athletes I'm
the i50-pound competition. The
Apaches are banking on Gooch and
Sweeney.
Both teams have encountered the
unlimited Mercury and Mohawk eley-
ems and demonstrate their ability,
Waverly fell before Mercury, 12 to 0,
while the Apaches held the Winged
foot gridmen to a 12-to-6 count. The
Mohawks trounced the Waverly
eleven, 81 to T., while the Apaches

Foot and knee action are iu1por-
tant in their relation 70 the swing.
The foot action in a good swing is
much faster. l think. than the aver
age golfer understands il to be. The
weight gets off the right foot and
onto the left one with almost light
ming rapidity at the instant of i'm
pact with the ball This passing over
of the weight is so fast that there is
no fixed rule the player could con-
sciously follow while doing it. In the
correct swing it is done by instinct.
The action of the left knee can be
consciously controlled. however, and
II should be looked after because the
action Of chis knee can, If II is wrong
throw the whole swing out of gear
In the back swing the left knee
should have tendency to fall In
toward the right knee-not out toward
the ball. There should be just enough
iirmness in the left leg, at the top of
the back swing, so that the left toe
has hold on the ground" See Fig

to be a hard proposition for the
golfer who strays from the straight

golf committee, continuing its policy
of stfffening up the course begun
four years ago, when IT was rear
ranged, has gone ahead and rebuilt
bunkers, constructed new ones and
changed the play 10 one or two OF
the holes.
New bunkers have been put in on
the first hole, with a big trap at
the immediate left of the green,
while the trap on the fairway in
front of the second green has been
reconstructed. AT the fourth the
traps at the right of the green have
been rebuilt and cut into the green.
Traps all the way down both sides
of the eleventh fairway make man
datory a straight ball on this hole,
where formerly the best shot was
from the right side. and the bunker
in front of the green at the twelfth
has been rearranged. The thirteenth
has been made "a bit easier with the
green raised at the back and the
bunker at the rear of the green
removed. even though the left bunker
at the green has been cut into the
putting surface a little. New bunk
ers on the fifteenth and sixteenth

Then after he had exhausted the
pleasures of Paris and Monte Carlo,
and had become thoroughly tired
out young man, he would return here
in mood for hard work, while at
the same time the public would have
forgotten his shortcomings, or at
least be willing 20 give him a new
deal
Keeps HIS Promises.
And hard work is what Luis is
going to get. Firpo has given his
word. in fact signed an agreement,
they say, to this effect. Firpo's word,
as matter Of fact, was good euousA.
He has got his faults. but also he
has got his virtues, and one of them
is an Indian habit OF sticking to d
promise once he gives it.
When Ftrpo gets back, Jimmy De
Forest is going TO train him-Jimmy
has already been engage for the job
and the talk is that Jack johnson,
who did more to improve Luis boxing
than any other man, has been re
tanned as head professor in Luis
quarters.
Late in February Firpo will be
named as one Of the principals in n
big indoor show at the Madison
Square Garden. Of course, and his OPP
ponent probably viii be Romero
Rojas- The one who wins Will figure
in one of the biggest, if not the big
gest, outdoor bouts Of the coming
Summer season.
Romero Is No Joke.
| Don't make any mistake about this
big Chilean. this Romeo who is being
groomed for big money stuff. He is far
from being a shine. Any man who can
he "a rLr 10
ley, dan hold off acknowledgement of
whether or not the Chilean merited
the decision he received over the
Canadian fghter-is promising, to
say the least.
Romero. in short, is a leather
skinned mixer. with a jaw like
granite, who can wallop to the kings
taste. 1t has been his inexperience
that has brought about such defeats
as he has suffered, rather than the
great ability on the part of his con
querors.
Romero Is coming and Firpo's flu
ture is by no means behind him. He
has got a lot Of good fights left in
him. If he bad not become so indie
pendent and had not ignored Tex
Richard, he would have made a much
| better showing against Harry Wills
than he did Careful attention and
strict training will put him in line
for some good stuff in the next two
years-always provided, of course,
that Romero does not stow him away.
There will be a lot of press agent
stuff about this encounter between
the two South Americans but in
spite OF that, the writer wants to say
that the battle between these wal
lepers is one battle that he surely
wants to see.
1t is a sure thing that Dempsey and
Gibbons are going to mix. Dempsey
already Is doing light training. II
will be an indoor fight. And then for
the outdoor seaeson the great show
will be Dempsey against Firpo or
Romero.
