FRIGERIO'S STYLE Is
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Ugo Fri
gerio, Of Italy, who is generally
conceded to be the worlds greatest
walker, and whose arrival is eager
~ awaited by athletic fans of New
York and points farther afield. is
said to be the last word in legiti-
mate style. This is contrary to
Ill timed and absolutely unfair re-
ports that have been broadcast re-
Gently. but it is nevertheless true.
According to several of the men
who OBLIGATED at the Olympic
games in Paris last August. mo-
ton pictures were taken of every
competitor in the walking events.
The pictures were then slowed
down so that every minutest &C
ton of the contestants could be
carefully studied. After going over
every mans style the judges de-.
clared that Frigerio's style was alb
solutely perfect.
Frigerio's first competitive ap-
pearance will be at the Millrose
A. A. track and field carnival.

HILLTOP ACES
TOUGH FOE
TONIGHT
Blue and Gray Comes Through
First Test With colors Fly
ing-Game Is Fast

Those Green TerrorS'' from West
ern Maryland are going to run up
against O. worthy foe tonight when
they invade the Georgetown Univer-
sity gym. The Hilltoppers demon
strated against Wake Forrest, whom
they defeated 80 to 26, that they
were fit and would give any old club
q merry. tussle.
Georgetown was never headed by
the Wake Forrest crew. Scoring
rapidly from the floor, the Blue and
Gray team marched up to an 8-point
lead, and finally lapsed into IL
to.12 tie shortly after the start Of
the second half.
But from then on John d. O'Reilly's
charges showed that the long SEES
sions he has spent with them had
been beneficial. Neat passing, neater
plays and clever footwork carried
the winners along steadily until a
comfortable lead had been opened.
The Georgetown gym seemed to
bother the Wake Forrest team. The
players barked about the narrowness
Of the floor. Jim Colliflower, referee,
decided that the game should be fast,
and he never blew his whistle for q
foul unless someone was attenlpting
to assassinate an opponent. The re-
suit was that play became hot and
hotter, much to the mutual salts
faction of the players and the fans.
Georgetown used a flock of men.
They were Sweeney, Farley, Finney,
Brogan. Ryan, McNaney, Nork,
Busckmanic and Gitlitz.

by Hagen and KirkWood
in Florida
By ROBERT e. HARLOW.

PASADENA-ON-TH Fla,
Jan. 17.-Big league golf got away
to a flying start today when for
the first time in the history of the
game two teams of crack golfers
met in the first game OF the Florida
professional golf league.
Walter Hagen and Joe KirkWood,
Pasadena, world famous pair, were
opposed by Gene SaraZen and Leo
Diegel, Hollywood, in an eighteen
hole match over the course Of the
Boca Ciega Golf and Country Club
links here. 1t was fitting that
Hagen, long the dominant figure
in international professional golf,
should be included in the first big
league game in golf.
Hagen and KirkWood played the
last at Boca Ciega in thirty-three
strokes each, with every putt holed
as their last workout for today's
game, and EaFazen aAo Diegel went
over the course THIS morning and
found it. a championship test CT
golf in every way.
League officers announced today
that the second game would be
played at Tampa tomorrow when
the Hollywood pair will play Johnny
Farrell and Bobby Cruikshank, the
fast Tampa team. The complete
league schedule will pe announced
next week. Each team will play
a home game with each team.
The following teams ire members:
Hagen and KirkWOod, Pasadena;
Sarazen and Diegel, Hollywood;
Eddie Loos and Cyril Walker, Win
ter Haven Lakeland: Bill Melhorn
and Tommy Armour, Miami; Jim
Barnes and Freddy Mcleod, Temple
Terrace; Johnny Farrell and Bobby
Cruikshank, lamp.
Orlando has made an offer TO
Macdonald Smith and in the event
of being able to- get a team fast
enough to compete with the other
teams will be admitted.

Apparently satisfied that the game

Business Basketball players loafed
courageously in the game against the
Georgetown University freshmen and
the result was that the Freshmen
emerged with a p to II tie. The
Stenogs led all the way, and looked
like the winner until something hit
them late in the fourth quarter.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.-Walter
Johnson,s hopes of breaking in as
a great Coast League owner are
fading and right now the big
train" feels great deal like he did
that sad day when he was assim-
Hating his second World Series
beating at the hands Of the New
York Giants.
Barney would have pitched his
good right arm off in order to top
of his brilliant career with q
World Series win. What he accom-
plished in the final game and the
third in which he participated is
history. Now Reno's distinguished
citizen is eager to come back"
as he did in the classic of last fall.
Be that as it may, several close
to Johnson declare that he has be-
come disgusted with the situation
in the Coast League and has given
up all hope of buying a substantial
block of stock in any club.
Before he even arrived here,
Johnson read where Joseph II.
Patrick, president of the Los An
geles club, had said that Billy
Lane was the only owner who
would be accepted as a lessee by
William Wrigley, jr., when Los
Angeles new $3.50, 900 baseball field

average baseball man from bidding
