MUCH INTEREST
IN BIC GOLF
MATCH
Interesting Foursome at Con-
gressionaI Country Club
Saturday
By ROSS L. CONKLN.

Much interest Is being evinced in
the exhibition golf match scheduled
for Saturday afternoon at the Con
gressional Country Club between
Chick Evans, Gene sarazen, Freddy
Mcleod, and James Crabbe.
Since the inception of the public
links here interest in golf has arisen
to fever heat, and the visit Of
Evans, golf writer for The Times.
and the inimitable Gene Sarazen
has created quite q stir in golf cir
cles.
OF particular interest to golfers is
the manner in which Evans and
SaraZen get such tremendous dis.
lance into their drives. SaTa7en
could be correctly termed the half
pint champion" but his drives
equal those Of the biggest men in
the game.
Puts, the bane Of the average
golfers life, will be watched care.
fully and followed religiously when
the embryo champions get back to
their own back yards.
Less than week after they play
at the Congressional, Mcleod and
Sarazen will take part in the ma
tional open golf championship.
Both have a fine chance to grab
the bunting and their game here
will indicate whether or not they
are up to snuff.
Congressional Club officers have
announced that an unlimited gallery
will be permitted to view the match.

Blue, for Courage, Is
Carpenters Ring
Color

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, May
22.-When Georges Carpenter
steps into the Fitzsimmons sau-
Ger here May 81 against Tom
Gibbons he will wear a stripe
of blue on his tights. Blue is
the color standard Of the
Francois Descamps boxing
stable. In France managers Of
boxers follow the same custom
that racing men do with their
strings. Every ring stable has
its own colors like the Belmont,
the Rancocas, Idle Hour Stock
Farm, R. T. Wilson, Whitney's
Green Tree and other we'll
known racing strings. The
blue stands for courage. It is
fittingly worn by Carpenter.
He has a ring heart said only

Jimmy Connolly L
Expected to Shine
in TryOuts

James j. Connolly, former
Georgetown University intercol-
legiate one-mile indoor and out
dor champion, seems to have
taken a new lease of athletic
life. According to eye wit
nesses Of Connolly's race
against Walter Higgins, Mike
Deraney and other stars on
South Field, New York, last
Saturday, when he ran fifteen
yards short of 1900 meters in
1857, it is going to take some
real running to stop him from
winning the final heat in the
Olympic tryouts at the Har-
ward Stadium on June Ii.
Jimmy is full of confidence.
He last Saturday told r. H.
Bensen, graduate manager of
athletics at Columbia, that the
Harvard Stadium 1900 meter
plum was within his reach.
And Connolly really means to
have it.
