great demonstrations in Russia this
year, demonstrations symbolizing the
achievements Of the past year as well

Great meetings will take place in that
country pledging the energy and

capitalism.

the opening round of the feather

owner of the championship vacated
by Johnny Dundee, will appear before

to protest against retaining two of

five, instead of three, boxers would

have a chance at the title. Later 1t

members of the commission, even in
defeat, that they would be given an
other chance.
Yesterday the commission informed
the press that no final decision had
been made, and that the matter
would be thoroughly threshed out at
today'S session.
New York sporting writer's agreed
that kaplan and Kramer were en-
titled to their verdicts, although q

attempted to restrain his manager,

The truth is that Walter. in his
memorable final dash down the
stretch, made one shot similar in
many respects to that negotiated by
Cyril Walker in capturing the Ameri-
can open at Detroit. And. like Wal
ker's, it was vital. Had 1t gone wrong
the cup emblematic Of victory would
have remained in England.
Walkers shot was made over pond
on the sixteenth hole at Detroit.
Hagen's came on the seventeenth at
Hoylake. Unlike Cyril. he had no
water hazard to conquer. However,
he was menaced with dangers just as
bad.
The seventeenth at Hoylake was
one Of the several holes reconstructed
this Summer so as to add to the Diff
ficulties of the championship as
pirants. And truly its remodelers
were successful. Only 3s5 yards long,
It's par is 4; but a golf expert who
kept tab on the play at this particu-
lar point reported that the 277 ex-
perta who took part In the tournament
averaged 5 As strokes from tee to
cup.
The seventeenth is a dog-leg. The
fairway runs straight for a distance
of about 275 yards, and then turns
abruptly to the left. 1t Ia impossible
to shoot straight for the green, and
drive OF $50 yards is required to
get past the elbow of the doG-leg, so
as to have clear play to the green.
