Element of Luck


See where Bobby Jones broke into
the hole-in-one class the other day.
Bobby Jones, considered without
a peer as a golfer, has been playing
the game 20 years. 1t was the first
time he ever turned the trick.
That will give you some idea Of
how difficult a task it is to hole
out in one. Yet lot of buffers
have done it.
While perfect play is necessary
to perform a remarkable feat in any
sport, the element of luck is likewise
a most important factor.
On practically every short hole,
Jones, is straight to the pin. I'm
doubeedly he has laid hundred shots
within a few inches Of the cup,
but it took 20 years of play before
he got what might be called a
lucky break.
Then there is the backspin used
in playing the short holes that often
robs golfer of good chance to
sink the ball in one.
Regardless of the greatness of the
one playing the shot, to hole out
in one a golfer must get the breaks
aside from being straight to the
pin.

was when helping Cleveland to win
a pennant. There was no better
in the American league then.
Last season O'Neill caught for
Howley at Toronto and was largely
instrumental in that club winning
a pennant in the international league.
Much depends on how good Steve
can go in his return to the big show.
Howley says George sisler is as
good as ever. / hope he is. 1t was

NEW YORK, March 8 R-Jacll.
Dempseys decision to return to the
ring in an attempt to win back the
heavyweight championship ''com-
rletesl the lust link" in the chain OF
1927 title aspirants, Tex RickarG
declared today.
Il am tickIed to death to hear or
aDempseys decision" the promoter
fold The Associated Press. II have
felt all along he would try to come
back but while the doubt has existed
many of my plans have been in the
air. I now can go ahead and com

ance that all the contcnders wiz.
have a chance to battle for the right
to face Gene Tunney."
Richard plans to promote Demp.
sey's. first bout at the Yankee stad-
ium the first week of June, and al
ready has his eye tentatively on
Pauline the Spanish woodchopper, as
a likely opponent.
This is contingent on Pauline dis
posing of Tom Hceney Of New Zeae
land at Madison Square Garden
March 49, and possibly one other
rival, perhaps Jack Delaney.
While Rickard is understood to
have an agreement to cover Demp-
sey's ring services, the garden pro-
moter's metropolitan rival, Hubert
j. Fugazy, intends to make the for
rler champion an offer to box at the
! Polo Grounds. Fugazyi has gone SC
far as to send his matchmaker, Lew
Raymond, to the west to interview
4 Dempsey.
Dempsey if he sets back into
something approaching his old fight
ing condition, is regarded by Rick.
ard as Il moro formidable title con
tender than any of the present croI
of aspirants, including Jimmy Ma
ioney, jack Sharkey and Pauline.
Dempsey won't be harassed leg
, ally and otherwise this time, as n,
was before the fight with TunneJ
last September" Rickard said. Ere,
from worry and seriously applying
himself to his conditioning, I be
lieve he will stand an excellen
chance, of fighting his way back t,
the title. If he can't come back OF
if the Tunney fight was indication
that he has lost his hitting power
for good, it won't take more thar
one preliminary bout to prove it."
