SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 1.-THE
Illinois Boxing Commission has sus-

keep the sport clean, it's members

tive committee investigating charges

many affidavits from promoters.
fighters and wrestlers in support of
their contention that they have acted
at all times for the best interests of
the state and the sport.
The charges on which suspensions
were made varied from technical vio-
lations of the commissions rules to
stalling and questionable tactics in
the ring.
The most notable suspension was
that of Charles PhiD Rosenberg, then
bantamweight champion of the world.
who was put on the blacklist just prior
to his scheduled championship fight
with Bud Taylor.
Oswald Huncke of the commission
explained that Rosenberg was sus-
pended and stripped of his title be-
cause he failed to post a 1850
forfeit.
The committee indicated at the close
of the session that 1t believed any
crookedness that may have existed in
the sport had been through no lack
of zeal on the part of the Boxing
Commission.

Cruickshank and Jones were tied
again yesterday after four years, but
not at 296. Their scores for 70 holes
at Oakmont were 800, and the tie was
for eleventh instead of first place.
Armour's caddy was a hero, his fell
low caddies claiming that he had prac
tically rooted his man home in the
closing stages of the play.
AS the final putt dropped enthusi.
astic bag toters at the ringside raised
Armour's caddy to their shoulders and
paraded him to the scoreboard.
The caddy was apprehensive that
some of Armour's precious clubs
would be broken, and was yelling all
the way, Let me down, you'll break
these clubs"
Armour came to the United States
as an amateur holder of the Scottish
title. a, few years ago and represented

TOFACE ARMY RACKETERS

Only an unusual series of upsets
can prevent Navy's tennis stars from
retailing the Leech Cup for another
year when the Army's aces are met
tomorrow afternoon on Chevy Chase
Country Club courts for the service
net title.
All of Nays 1926 players will COM

the only Army doubles victory last
year. The Army No, l player is in
the Canal Zone. and was unable to
defend his Sheridan Cup title last
week as we'll as being unable to play
against the Nays team.
Army's showing In the title matches
will largely depend upon Lieut.. David
T.. Hedekin, former West Point net
star. who will play for the Army for
the first time I'm I.eech Trophy compe-
tition. His play in the tournament
last week was not up to the standard
set by Capt. Van Vliet. but he is ex-
pected to take one of the singles
matches against his naval opponent.

man competing with either team and

was defeated by Capt. Van Vliet in
a stirring singles match last year. He
Is expected to find lighter opposition
with the Army star out of the way
this time.
Upon the veteran shoulders of Col.
Johnson will fall most of the burden.
In addition to captaining the land
forces team. he will represent 1t in
the No. / singles match. His play in
the Army tournament last week was
the best shown. with the possible eX-
ception of Lieut.. Strahan, who won
the Sheridan Cup title in singles
competition.
Lieut.. Strahan. who is ineligible be-
cause Of his reserve rating, would
have been big asset to Army. Maj.

last week, also are ineligible to play
with Army.

year instead of seven. 1t was an

doubles will complete the program.

bles last year.

OAKMONT, Pa. June lin re-
constructing the fifteenth and six
teenth holes of the Oakmont course to
make them more hazardous, w. c.
Fownes, jr, the clubs guiding spirit,
succeeded far better than he aimed.
These two holes probably wrecked
more national open championship
hopes in the past three days than any
others, exacting heavy toll from such
aces as Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen,
Gene Sarazen and Emmett French.
Even Harry Cooper, who tied Tom
my Armour for first place, found the
fifteenth a stumbling block, going l
over par on it in each of his last two
rounds.
The fifteenth Is two-shotter. ATS

with traps, including bunker added

catch second shots The sixteenth,

catch-can policy. Cooper, a carefree
young man who is willing to chat with
his friends as he plays along. believes
in hitting the shots and letting the
ball fall where it will. Cooper may
cause Armour to shudder with some
terrific wooden club shots and long
puts and Armour is just as apt to
break his opponents heart with his
deadly irons.
1t was suggested before the play
that these scores may be in the high

much more punishment than it has
suffered in the last few days and it has
by no means lost its punch.
