DIEGELr
(RY NEA SERNICEO

New York, Dec. 1S.---Scldom if ever has Q year of professional golf produced the thrilling situations of the 1925 campaign, It was just one surprise after another.
 Tho only two champions io repeat were Walter Hagen and Leo Diegcl, The great Walter again finished in front in the professional golfers tournament, while DiegGl proved best in the Canadian open, as was the case 8 year ago.
 Willie MacFarlane was the sen sotion of the year. Little regarded in the national open, he won the title, also the Shawnee open, an other major event.
 TO capture these two titles Mac farlane was forced to play the most brilliant kind of golf. In each event he finished in a tie, then man aged to capture the playoff.
 In the national open it was Bobby Jones, master of the amateurs, who tied with MaCfarlane. It was neceS- sary 10 play 36 holes before the tie was decided. It was all even again at the end of the first IS. This l is the first time in the hist tory of golf 36 extra holes were required to determine the winner.
 At the end of the first nine holes of the second IS, Jones enjoyed a 1 fOur-strOke lead It didn't seem as if any golfer could spot Jones four strokes in nine and beat him. That is just what Macfarlann did, his margin at the finish being a lone stroke.
 | In the Shawnee open Macfarlanc 1 finished in tie with Will Klein, one of the most promising of the younger professionals. He had to play T in the extra IS holes to win. Macfarlane was forced to play three rounds of 71 that day in order 10 get tie and then win out
 Macdonald Smith was the only other professional to win two titles He captured the western open and the Long Island open with the re- markable scores of 2S1
 Smith also had a great chance tc win the British open, which was captured by Jim Barnes. All ht needed was a 7S 10 cop the title but took S2. The unsportsmanlik, action of the gallery was held ac countable for the very poor finishing card turned in by Smith.

NATIONALS PLAY
 DIXIE SPEEDBOYS
Locals Have Two Important Games Tonight and Tomorrow

The National Guirds basketball team of this city plays one of its most important games this evening at the Governors Foot Guard armory In Hartford when the Dixies of the Capital City take the floor against the local five. Both teams are recognized as among the leading contcnders for this years championship and the result of to- nights battle will give the fans q good idea of how the teams line up.
 Coach Billy Dudack has all he confidence in the world that his combination will be able to set the DiXies down and the players them selves arc eagerly awaiting the start of the game. A large number of rooters will accompany the team to watch the contest and deiega- tons of automobile parties will trek along the cement highway pointing to tho state capital.
 The DiXies only last week broke losing streak but the manner in which that was done and the team that fell victims to the Hartford
 five. the New Haven Atlas, shows that no mistakes can be made to-
 night if the game is to be turned into a victory for the Hardware , City combination.
 Saturday night at the state armory, the National Guards will face the Elm City five, a fast com- | bination out of New Haven. This will be the second tough cncoun- l ter in two consecutive days for the Guards and double win will push their stock sky high among tho followers of state basketball. The lineup Of the New Haven
 team is one that compares favor , ably with many of the best teams
 in the state. The team is out 10
 beat New Britain because a win ! over the local five means much 10 i the Elm City team. The Guards. ! on the other hand, want tonigit's 8 and tomorrow nights games like
 theyhavc wanted nothing else and | they are bound to give the best . that is in them to win.

 MORSE BUSINESS
Adams Scored 2S Points in
 RunaWay--R Win

The South church basketball team its way to a 50 to 14 tri- umps over the Morse Business col- lcge team of Hartford in q one sided game at the Boys club last night. Led by Captain Joel Adams, who scored II field goals from all angles, the teams offense swept ir- rcsistibly through the Hartford de- tense, while the winners held the Morse five in the center of the floor and confined their shots to long tries. Starting with basket by Adams at the opening whistle, the church ran up a 24 to 1 score in the first half and then began sending in all inc available substitutes, who kept things moving right along. The game was very free from fouls.
 Adams shot from all positions and seemed never to miss, while the rest of the regulars and many subs did their share of the scoring. Adams, HaVlick and Kiduif, re- leased by the High school during the holidays, were back in the lineup, while plenty of fresh blood, which will have to take over the burden eventually, got its initial workout and showed we'll McCluskie, kot- koski, and Fitzgihbon were the best
 for Morse, while in spite of Adams scoring spree there was really no
 individual star on the South church. The team appears well fixed for the church league.

FIGHTERS READY FOR BOUT TONIGHT
Kaplan and Herman Meet for Seventh Time for Championship

New York, Dec. IS R-Louis (Kid) Kaplan of Meridon. Conn. and Babe Herman of California and New York, have reported themselves in perfect condition for their seventh fistic engagement in Madison Square GarGen tonight.
 Kaplan, the champion, perhaps rules slight favorite, for he has attained the physical perfection which he displayed in the champion ship tournament last winter when ha obtained the crown, according 10 his followers. In gaintnG the title Kapian moved down Soldier Diah l Bobby Garcia, Jose Lombardo and Danny Kramer in about three months.
 In their six previous meetings Herman has gained one decision, that in a F round contest in 1922 long before Kaplan gained the cham pionship ranks. Five other battles have been draws but there are many to claim that Herman defeated Rap Han in Waterbury, Conn.,, late last summer, although officials ruled the bout even.
 Tonight Herman is expected to have an advantage under the recent ruling of the New York State Ath- letic commission that all contests in this state shall be decided by the l ,,,,,l,r n rp,,Ddv wop rppa rd lpss of the margin. Each round becomes a bout in itself under this regulation At Waterbury Herman was credited with d majority of the rounds, bu: the champions lightning finish cap tured a draw verdict.
 Kaplan, a great fighter, knows what it is to fight from the start however, he went into his battle with Danny Kramer a year ago on the wrong end of the odds, but ht forced Kramer to cover from the start and knocked him out in the seventh with a savage attack as eastern rings have seen in years.
 Kaplan is q two listed "scrapper, | l1cIHldn d tluc rus SSh'ldl alIu CN ceptional boxer. The latter stand more than half foot higher thai the little champion and his reacl is full three inches longer. Tn, boxers are expected to enter tn ring about 10 o'clock eastern stan dard time. ...,,..
 Bobby Garcia, the rugged soldie
 boy from Maryland, and the sensa tional Dick (Honeyboy) Finnegal
 of Boston, two stars of the feather
 weight division, will clash in tn

Home Run King Starts Workouts in Order to Be in Shape at the Be- ginning of Next Season.

New York, Dec IS P)-Babc Ruth. admitting to 225 pounds plans to fight, slap and run his way into his old prominence on the nations baseball diamonds.
 The Babe crammed his way into q New York gymnasium yesterday, took off his coat, and announced that the baseball season was on. Then he tossed a medicine ball a couple of hundred times, puffcd through two threc- minute rounds of boxing and defeated an opponent at handball.
 Then a blow fell upon Ruth, for there came an announcement from the New York Yankees offices that the warm baths and green golf links of Hot Springs were not for the Babe this season unless he wanted to pay his way. For several years Ruth has grappled with influenza and other foes in the Arkansas re- sort.
 The former home run champion says that he will work hard indoors until the Yankee host sets forth for Florida, and that he will be in con- dition for the campaign, hoping for health and homers.

 Works Perfectly To Take Game By Big Margin Attendance Is Very Small-NeXt Game On Jan. z.

The American Legion baskctb2I team, playing like a comblnatio oi champions in their opening game or the season last night, downcd the Pexto A. C. quintet of Soutningtoh by nearly as bad a score as the Ma tonal Guards did in Ethe Valleys tCam's first appearance in this clly' The hoop tossers from over West proved to be poor opposition for the flashy five picked from among the Industrial league players and from the first few minutes of play, IL could be seen that the Legion five were out to cop honors by blg margin.
 Jasper and Luke, working perfect Iy at the forward positions snapped in five field goals each in the first half and scored one in the second giving them an even score for the evening of 12 points. Hoist, besides working a wonderful floor game scored seven of his teams counters, while Arburr scored eight, though playing a back court position. Paris, Nybors and Carroz2a were flashes on the floor and all in all, the Southington team appeared to De poor contender against the local team,
 First Half
 England started the scoring of the game 45 seconds after play started, when he caged pretty field goal from the foul line. Luke opened up and dropped in two double counters and the Legion went into lead from which they were never headed. The Southington team worked hard' but the players could not stop the speedy passwork and sure fire SCOT Ing of the New Britain five.
 A tap from center would go to one of the four playing on the court and with pretty passes, most or Whlch were good, the ball would drop through the hoop. It wasn't very long before the score began to mount. The Southington team spurted at times, but more often missed easy shots at the basket. The score at the end of the first hall stood 31 to 16 in favor of New Britain.
 second Half
 The best SouthingtOn could do Tn the second half was to score seven points. so close were Arburr anu 'Darby" Carroz2a playing the for wards. Hartford, main scoring ace on the town team, managed to cage two pretty field goals, but the same habit Of missing the easy ones was in evidence in the second frame.
 on the other hand, the Legion tocm made sure of all their shots and time after time, the players would pass the ball back and fortl for fully 9 minute before getting chance to score. The quick ahl speedy work of the forwards work ing in perfect harmony with the guards and Hoist in center, had 'h' ssouthington five groggy and IL Wal q. beaten combination that las'e' through the second half kava naugh played a good game at guard but his efforts went 10 naught as th' locals kept up their fast work.
