Al Houghton, winner OF the ~Ro

than even chances Of evading the
harsh penalties incurred through
driving out of bounds or into one
of those internal water hazards
that abound on the course. HoTgh-
ton is as accurate as bookkeeper,
but MCGUIRE with his tremendous
drives Is apt to get into a great

McManus In Slump

Marty McManus. the Browns
second sacker, is in a severe bat
ting slump this year. Instead Of
killing the ball to the tune of $50
or so, his latest mark is; .275.

Stan Coveleskie, the Griffmen's

members of the club with the less
able twenty-four paying all the
bills for sumptuous repast Tor
the others.
Donald Woodward, formerly one
of the best golfers in the city, and
Cy Cummings, who controls a slice
and a hook than which there are
meme better, are the respective lead
ers of the teams, and II seems that
Woodward took advantage or Cy In
one of his generous periods.
The two. along with many other
prOhibitionists. were gOSsiping at
Columbia when they fell to tell
ing of their respective merits as
golfers. Then and there q coin
was fIipped and Cummings was
1 given first choice for his team.
He picked Freddy Mcleod. Wood
ward picked Reds Bannigan. Each
team will be composed OF twenty
four, and the matches viii be
played in fOursOmes. Saturday
morning the thing is scheduled
and Saturday night the dinner
comes off.
The two leaders have gotten to-
gether and slected the names of
their men, but they are unwilling
to announce them for fear of hav-
ing the players tempered with by
wives or opponents. Mcleod and
Cummings, as partners, will play
Woodward and Bannigan in the
leading match.
The difference between the drives
of four good players seems slight,
but in actually there is a vast diff
ference. In a foursonR which in

and Austin NJ. Porter, there is rep
resented some nifty golfing ability
and their games show an interest
ing comparison.
For instance, on the ficst tee,
Porter got a drive straight down
the fairway. and pretty long, too.
Albert Mackenzie got one a little
longer, also straight in the alley.
George Christian fooled his drive
badly, and had a fine second shot.
Miller STEVENSON came along last,
and he pumped one straight down
the course.
When the players went to their
balls, they found that Porter had
a difficult shot for the cup, THAI
MacKenzie's was a little less diff
cult, and that Stevinson's ball was
along the edge of the fairway
where he had an easy shot to the
pin. While the others played for
the middle of the course, STEVENSON
played for place where he could
get to the pin, and that is what
counts in golf

NEW YORK, May 19.-The elm
ination of Sammy Mandell from the
tourney for fOul1ng
Jimmy Goodrich in the sixth round
last night will stand, it was stated
today by William Muldoon of the
New York State boxing commission.
Muldoon witnessed the unfortunate
ending Of the battle, and said there
Has no question but that Mandells 8
foul was unintentional, but his elm.
ination nevertheless stands.
"Mandell showed himself a very
likely championship possibility, >
said Muldoon. However, things
that occur in the ring determine
the survivors and his elimination
must stand"
Mandell had won four of the
rounds, but was warned several
times by Referee Tommy Sheridan
for hitting low. The deciding punch
was left hook to the groin that
sank Goodrich to the floor.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-Wlth
the entrance examinations for
the national open championship
scheduled for May 20 and q at
the San F'ranrisco Golf and Coun.
try Club, professional players from
various points on the Pacific slope
are getting in their final rounds OF
practice for the 36-hole qualifying
round.
Harold Clark, professional at the
San Francisco. club, y is player who
can step out with an amateur and
literally burn up the circuit. Hold
ing the course record of 68 for
the par Il course Clarke is hope
ful that when he performs with
his fellow pros the Goddess OF
Luck or whoever it is that smiles
on ones efforts will wave her
golden wand and bring him homo
a winner. Clark, however, is not
the only one of the forty-three play
ers entered who expects to WOO
Lady Luck during the 36-hole clash
against the pencil. There are
others, and that isn't half OF it, old
dears.
Abe EspinoSa, Tor one, pfeolcts
a victory for himself. "I'H lead
the field by at least five strokes"
declared Abe today. And the wit.
er. for one. wouldn't be at all sNr-
prised to see him do just that, for
Abe, like Clark, finds making
course records all in the days
work, once he hits his stride.
Another player who must be
given serious consideration by the
experts and professionals alike is
Willie Hunter. the former British
amateur champion. Hunter has
been playing fine golf in recent
Southern California competitive
event and is a 20.to-1 shot to
qualify. Hunter, while not expected
to carry off the medal honors of
the qualifying round. is certain to
be among the first four to finish.
Others who should qualify for the
national are Harold Sampson, Bur

Joe Novak. Berkeley; Frank Minch,

Is Recalled

scenes since the days OF bare
knuckles and broken heads. but
none so bizarre as that which oc.
Cured on the evening of July II,
1928, comparatively few minutes
before Jess Willard laid his dod-
dering old bones gently but firmly
down and resigned" to Luis Firpo.
The latter. then in the flush Of his
sensational winning streak, was on
his way up to a match with Den1p-
sey. He was a fistic oddity and,
therefore, a box office gold mine.
Crowds bayed at his heels on the
streets, blindly drawn to this strange
hulk of a man as colorful as Al
mosaci. An armless wrestler would
have served the purpose just as
well; but, lacking this handicap,
Firpo commanded attention. He
was the man of the hour.
Yet it was Willard. attempting a
comeback at the age of forty-four,
who had the sympathy OF the great
crowd that invaded Boyle's Thirty
Acres, Jersey City, for the fight.
For once, the public cheered little
or not at all when Firpo began
plying his ponderous right at the
start of activities. The crowd in
fact, became ominously silent as
the Latin continued to rain blow
after blow on Wizards head and
body.
Suddenly that silence of dissatis.
faction became audible-first a mere
ing chorus. of encouragement, end
lIxy h0 PVaiN f0h nNxy]
was cheering in the organized uni
son OF college football:
Come on, Jess! Come on. Jessr
Only a, man with the soul of a
junk dealer could have resisted
that appeal. Jess came on.
He rallied magnificenly in the
fourth round. on the spur of this
vocal encouragement, and for three
rounds he carried the fight right
into Firpo's front yard And as he
did, the blood call of the crowd
rose on a triumphant note:
Come on, Jess"'
A fine time was being had by all
| except our Mr.. Firpo, when the
eighth round started. Just to be
| obliging, our Mr.. Firpo started
with it. He socked Willard a few
enthusiastic socks on his unenthu
siastic jaw, and Jess began to lose
interest. He glanced longingly 81
| the ring floor and negotiated the
| distance in nothing flat when Tirpc
brought over a right to the ribs.
Crouching there in his corner

was drawing breath for another
