of one Roland Ticknor, of Syracuse,
ever since He compares the up
State mans golf with that Of Woody

Ticknor has all the shots in his bag.
HE gets good distance, plays
beautiful iron shots and is a bold
putter," was Ouimet's summing up
of the Syracuse golfer.
Ouimet, by the way, is now wear

Use $500 Balls In
Training Camp

ST. P e TIE r s B U K q, Fla,

does it take to run major
league training camp? Well
the Yanks are into their third

800 baseballs at their disposal.
When the main bunch arrived

Noble won the Tex Richard belt
emblamatic of the New York State
featherweight championship when
he defeated frankie Murray at
Madison Square Garden. Shortly
after this bout Noble had to go
back to England because Of illness
in his family. Since his return
he has been trying to re-establish
himself on the. high rung in the
featherweight ladder he occupied
before his departure.
Since returning to this country,
Tommy has met Danny Kramer,
in one Of the most sensational fights
ever seen between little fol-
lows. Kramer had things pretty
near his own way for the first
four rounds, knocking Noble down
twice, but from then on Kramer
hal all he could do to keep Off the
canvas for ten seconds. Noble
spilled him for a count several
times, but could not finish him.
Noble has noored almost all his
opponents, but he is a hard luck

referee can't count as high. as

of Johnny Kilbane. However, he
