Work of improvement on the Brack-
enridge Park municipal golf course in
preparation for the Texas open tour
nament January 10, 16 and IL, IS
rapidly going forward under the di-
rection of Charles Novak, course con-
struction architect in charge.
Since the course was closed TO play
on September %, and the work OF
fertilizing the fairways was started,
the entire course has taken on a
new growth of grass. There is hard
ly q spot on the fairways which Is
not covered with grass over the shoe
tops.
When the course is re-opened about
November 1 after having been closely
manicured by the park staff, it is ex-
pected to afford as pretty a golfing
test as any of the private clubs IN
this vicinity. Several star local golf
crs have looked over the heavy sod
and beamed happily with the expecta-
ton Of being able to use their high
powered brassies once more. For n
space before the course was closed 1t
was virtually impossible to bring a
brassie into play owing to the poor
lie afforded.
Contrary TO previous reports, there
will be no raise in locker rates. The
original price of So per year will
prevail.
A new feature will be inaugurated
when the course is again opened which
will please n large portion of the To-
cal army of golfers. 1t has been de-
cided to issue permits for a period OF

ACADEMIC RIVALS
AT FULL STRENGTH

Coach "Kotzy' Kilgore's West Tex
as eleven and Coach Dale McCoy's
San Antonio Academy squad went
through their last strenuous practice
sessions Wednesday afternoon in prep
aration for their clash at Schwab
Field Friday at o'clock. Both
teams are in good shape for the game,
and, barring a minor bruise or sprain,
will present full strength across rhe
chalk-marks.
No one has quite been able to dope
out the relative strength of these two
earnest rivals. 1t should be very
evenly-matched affair according to all
indications.
The West Texas aggregation may
pack couple pounds weight advantage
over Coach McCoy's youngsters and
have improved in form much over
their initial tilt with Sabinal High
last Saturday, when they met defeat,
G to o.
This weight advantage will mean
very little against the st. Mary's
eleven. however, as Coach Mccoy dis
covered that he had the makings of n
formidable little passing machine when
his team came from behind TO tie San
Antonio Academy. 6 to 6, last Thurs
day, and they are sure to try a flock
Of passes against West Texas.

SMELLS.OF SCANDAL

PITTSBURGH, Oct. SACK
Zivic, Pittsburgh welterweight, last
night, won judges decision over
Sailor Freedman of Philadelphia in
a 1O-round bout staged before large
crowd of world series fans.
A wild demonstration in the ring
and Mt the ringside occurred during
the fifth round when the bout was
halted by the referee, who claimed
Freedman was not trying. After
DELAY of twenty minutes, the men
we're ordered to continue and Freed
man made q strong finish. winning
the last two rounds after losing the
first eight.
Freedman claimed Civic gouged him
in the left eye with his thumb at the
very start of the bout and was on
the defensive until the halt was
called.
Following the bout, the state box
ing commission ordered Freedman's
purse held up pending an investiga-
ton of rumors that betting had been
unusually heavy on the result. He
was allowed $500 for expense. Zivic
received his entire purse.
Zivic weighed 142 pounds and
freedman 141.

M'K|NLEYS PRACTICE
FOR TITLE CONTEST

doc" Sowells Saturday League
representatives. otherwise known as
the Mckinley Avenue Methodists, will
work out at : 80 Thursday afternoon
on the Southern Steel diamond In
preparation for their championship
game with the Public Service Utilities,
City League champs. this weekend.
So far, no definite date has been
set for the deciding game of the
three-game series between these two
teams. The Saturday Leaguers are
in favor of playing Saturday so that
they may be privileged to wear their
shirts right side out, but, as it seems
certain that no diamond will be va
cant on that day except Utility Field,
they are hesitating before making a
decision.
Another factor which enters into
their indecision is the fact that Jimmy
Miller, who hurled them to victory in
the second game of their double bill
last Sunday, is not certain that he can
get off from work Saturday inter
noon. The Saturday Leaguers have
both Criner and Tanner TO fall back
on in that event, however.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. Sour con-
ISOLATION in defeat is that the Senator's
have but one Walter Johnson-and
that it will be a few days before We
must meet up with him again.
The veteran of American League
pitching veterans never pitched more
brilliant game in his life time than he
hurled today. He had everything
speed, curves, control-and that keen
brain of his was working every min
ute during the two hour duel. He
pitched peerless baseball against us
and there's but one result possible
when such a thing happens. His foe
men 60 down to defeat.
We were beaten fairly, squarely.
Luck was not deciding factor. Our
boys played brilliantly afield and
Meadows, barring the fifth, hurled a
mastery game. We gave the best we
had through every fighting inning but
the grand old man of the Senator'S
turned us back-humbled- time
we attempted n rally.
The story of the combat, its mo-
ments of thrills, its tenseness, its
spectacular plays, is one that the
regular chroniclers of the game can
tell a bit better than l could do.
And yet, when they've all written
their stories, the gist of it all will
be not much more than we Pirates
are saying tonight. And that is:
"Too much Johnson"

PITTSBURGH, Oct. S.-The great
est pitcher that baseball ever has
known pitched one of the most amaz-
ing games of his remarkable career
and SO we took the opener from the
Pirates.
I've handled the cyclonic shoots OF

the gamest and best hitting clubs in

Inspired by the flawless work OF
old Barney, the whole team rallied
along, met every Pirate onslaught and
hurled it back. They fought us hard,
gave us a tough battle, were dangerous
through every moment. Yet We were
able to do what our home town folks
and the entire American League ex-
pected of us.
And that was to deliver hits when
hits meant runs and make difficult

ST. ANTHONy'S
|. LIKELY TO Be
DANGEROUS
Combination of Cozad
and Ambition Always
Brings Results.

Rev. Wayne Cozad, football coach.
hasn't had much to work upon out
at st. Anthony's College. In fact,
all he has right now is a quartet of
very capable backfield performers
some ambitious recruits. But unless
several supposedly capable observers
have had a mental lapse, it would
not be a good idea for any of the
other teams in the junior division Of
the Academic League to underestimate
Coach Cozad's charges.
The st. Anthony squad, as It now
stacks up, will average around AS
pounds, and, although much Of that
poundage is unframed, waht il takes
to train it Coach Cozard has plenty
Of. .....
Just at present this promising
eleven is working hard in prepare
tion for its first league game against
the Breckenridge High Wildcats next
Wednesday. The loss of Arthur
Kaler, giant linesman, who recently
underwent an operation for ap-
pendicitis has noticeably lowered the
morale Of the squad, but Coach Cosad
is working hard to fill the gap left
by this mishap.
Another element which is figured
to stand the st. Anthony gridsters in
good stead when they meet the Wild
cats Wednesday is the fact that the
Breckenridge crew will have had
little time to rest up from their strug-
gle with the Texas Teachers College
at Kingsville Saturday.

greatly increase the sale of permits
as it will put them within reach OF
tourists and army officers who do not
anticipate being in the city longer
than six months.
Another feature of the course which
will please its patrons is Mr.. Novak S
plan of charging the greens slightly
and allow the grass to grow little
higher adjacent to the greens. This
will keep the pellet from rolling so
far when the green is overshot.

IN DRILL
Does His Stuff First Day
Out and Will Play
Saturday.

Vodava. a six-foot giant with 167
pounds of football flesh well distri5-
uted over his 1.-THE frame, crawled
into q st. Mary's College football uni
form Wednesday afternoon for the
first time. BY dark "Vodava" was
a byword about the Rather campus.
Vodaya, n product of both the Uni
versity of Illinois and the University
of Florida. and whose nickname prob
ably will be Rabbit, don't waste any
time getting started. He sat on the
sideline with an anxious look in his
eyes while the regular Rather squad
played three 10-minutc quarters
against the Twentieth Infantry clev-
en-, and, then when Coach Tom O'Don-
nell put him in at left half for the
final period, he promptly ran wild.
He tucked the pigskin under his
arm as though it belonged there and
gave as pretty an exhibition of plain
and fancy running, combined with
bewildering change of pace. as has
been seen in San Antoio for some
time. He scored one touchdown
sgainst the soldiers in the short time
allotted. and. when called upon 70
punt. put one down the field 80
yards.
CHEERS UP COACH.
With such sensational ball car
rier and punter having dropped into
camp on the eve of the Rattlers' game
with the Southwestern Reserves Sat
urlay afternoon at Schwab Field.
Coach O'Donnell was in jubilant
frame of mind Thursday morning. AS
the new ACQUISITION is already in good
share he probably will start Satur-
days game, Coach O'Donnell said. He
viii also do the teams kicking from
here on out.
The entire Rather squad showed to
advantage against the Twentieth
Wednesday, piling up four touchdowns
and holding the soldiers scorclcss.
They expect to prove a revelation to
: San Antonio grid fans when they are
seen in action for the first time Sat
urday at 4 o'clock. Their 6-to-6 tic
! with Schreincr Institute last week
after the Mountaineers had defeated
Daniel Baker, G to o, the previous
Friday stamps them as Of 7. /. A. A.
caliber.
THOMAS ON JOB.
Although Billy cund'-, giant suaru
had been definitely counted out of
Saturdays clash on account OF a
sprained leg, Coach O'DoDnell has
been heartened somewhat by the re-
turn of Red" Thomas, first-string
center. who has been on the ailing
list for several days.
Dick Harm, San Antonio youth who
was forced to spend the summer
humoring an athletic heart, was out
for practice for the first time We'd
nesday and looked very good at a
halfback post. He hardly will be in
condition for Saturdays game, how
ever.
Coach O'Donnell announced his
starting lineup for Saturdays game
as follows:
English, left end; Botze, right end /;
Schleicher, left tackle; Carver or
Wclborn. right tackle: Smith. left
guard Coleman, right guard; Thomas,
center; McCarty, quarterback; Nod-
ava or Ncsrsta, left half: Jordt,
right half; Kozclski, fullback. Klepac
probably will divide the time with
KozelsM at fullbaek.

TWO BELLS COMING.

. Marshall Bell, brother of the famous
Berkeley, is an unknown quantity in
San Antonio tennis. but the fact that
he is member of the Texas Uni
versity team stamps him as danger
Gus invader. The two Bell brothers
expect to put up an especially strong
front in the doubles.
The latest local player to display
championship caliber is young Martin
A. Roe, resident of San Antonio three
months and former member of the L.
land Stanford University tennis team.
Roe worked out with the other stars
of the local colony for the first time
Tuesday afternoon. Several players,
including Leon Walthall and Nanny
Goldsmith, who faced Roe across the
net Tuesday, declare that he is apt
to prove the dark horse" of the tourn-
ament.
Arthur Seeligson, present titleholder
is at the peak of his form, and re-
garded by many as a certainty to re-
peat.
BRENT GOING WELL. &.
Regarded as one of the most dan
gerous local challengers to Seeligson's
crown is Richard Brent, runner-up last
year and one of the steadiest meters
in San Antonio. Brent is capable of
a fairly swift, steady game, but I'M
less he has improved over his. form
of last season hardly will be able to
upset Seeligson.
An interesting sidelight of the APP
preaching tournament will be the pos
sible meeting of Brent with young
Berkeley Bell. If they are drawn in
the same bracket, opposite Seeligson,
they will be apt to meet in a semi
final match, and it should prove q
wonderful battle. Brent was defeated
by Bell in the finals of the South
west Texas tournament last year but
Brent has never quite accepted his
defeat at the hands of the young
Austin wizard and has been waiting
impatiently to meet him again.
OTHERS SHOW FORM.
Claude Fuquay, the bespectacled
METER who won a leg on the Hex
Challenge cup by winning in 1923 ;
Frost Carvel. who has improved
greatly over his form of last year
Lucian LaCoste, who won several
cups in Eastern Journeys the past
summer; Clifton Wilkinson, Leon
Walthall. Gilbert Denman and num-
Der Of others have entered the tourna-
ment and will bear watching. Not n
one of this group but is apt to spring
into the limelight and make it ex.
tremely tough on the favorites.
ANY METER in or out of the city
desiring to take part in the tourney
may send in his entry to Leon Wal
thall at the Walthall Music company

PASSING MARKS
GRID DRILLS
IN EAST

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-LR)-Aerial
attacks will make up a large part of
football tactics on eastern college grid
irons Saturday. judging from extensive
drills on forward passes at various
camps.
Princcton's success with the pass in
the Amherst contest has been followed
with more intensive practice in that
line in preparation for the tussle with
Washington and Lee.
The Penn varsity scored twice on
two long forward passes hurled by
Charlie Rogers and handled by Scull
and Thaycr, ends, against the scrubs
in the final scrimmage before the
Brown tilt.
CORNELL PASSES. TOO.
Gil Dobie has been tuning his Cor
nell squad with some new overhead
plays which he plans to try out against
Williams.
Earl Goodwine of West Lebanon,
Ind, left halfback on the Yale scrub
eleven. intercepted a forward pass in
mid-ficld and raced for the first touch
down against the varsity in a week OF
practice. The first string counted
two. The Blue now is marking time
for Georgia.
Jack Owsley has been stressing the
forward pass on the Middies. No.
ticeablc progress has been made by the
navy under Owsley and the Midship-
men are expected to even the standing
with Marquette, which team won last
years game, 81 to 3.
ARMY HARD PUT.
Schiller succeeded in breaking
through n scrub line for the Army's
lone touchdown in preparatory
scrimmage for the Knox College game.
Added power to the attack of the
Penn State eleven in its intersectional
duel with Georgia Tech was seen in
Coach Hugo Bezdek's shift of Mike
Micbalske, veteran 200-pound guard,
to the fullback position.
Coach Bob Fisher will start his first
Harvard eleven against Middlebury.
The Crimson coaches have revamped
their offensive and are anxious TO see
what the team can accomplish. Coacn
Eddie Mahan has rejoined the staff
after nursing an injured foot.
