pondered over the ball and then
whipped it savagely toward the green.
SO keen was his eye that the missile

few inches from the cup, barely rob

Sweetser will compete in the United
States amateur. the Walker Cup
matches and a few of the more impor-
tant events of the metropolitan dis
trict, but has no intention of attempt
ing to overdo his comeback. That he
will be a member of the Walker Cup
team, which meets the British in Chi.
cago next August, is certain. And his
presence on that team will give the
United States one of the strongest rep
reservations it ever has had for the in
ternational event.
Jones May Captain Team.
Bobby Jones. of course, will be king
pin of the team, and in all likelihood
will captain the Americans. Should
that honor fail to come to Jones, it
probably will be given to Francis
Ouimet of Boston, who well deserves
it. The other members of the team
will be picked from a squad including
Chick Evans, Harrison Johnston,
George Won Elm, Watts Gum, Roland
Mackenzie, Maurice McCarty and Ed
die Held.
Jesse Guilford, the old Boston siege
gun, is not included in the group of
prospective players. Jesse has been
a member of every Walker Cup team
since the competition began, back in
1890, but he played in none of the
major championships during the 1927
season and automatically is dropped
from consideration.
The personnel of the British team
will hardly be made known before
Spring, but it is certain that Tolley,
Wethered, Torrance, Harris, Scott and
Holderness will be on it.
From an international viewpoint,
the 1928 season should be a great one
Bobby Jones may go over to England
to defend his open championship;
many of our professionals will invade
Great Britain to play in the same
event, and the Rydar Cup teams will
meet for the third time, with Sir Wal

team into the battle.

green in two shots. except on one or
two of the longest holes, when he
happened to pull a shot slightly, until
the first nine holes of the final round.
The New Yorker got no breaks on
his putting, however. Time after time
shots that looked good for brides
stopped just short of the cup OF

could be said for the other leaders.

Definite assurance that the Siwanoy

health to resume competition was
made at meeting of the Metropolitan

Sweetser appeared, the picture of per-
feet health.
Sweetser has fought hard battle to
regain the physical form he lost at
Muirfield, where he won the British
amateur championship in 1926 against
odds that would have daunted almost
any other man. After that struggle he
was forced to give up golf competition
almost entirely, and the flash of his
irons has not been seen in the United
states amateur since the battle at
Oakmont in 1925.
The return of Sweetser to the cham

hole never will be forgotten by those

drive down the center of the fairway
while Sweetser's shot was some few
yards behind. Playing the odd, Jess
pulled out a rusty spade mashie and
dropped the ball in front of the cup
with such accuracy that it rolled into
the hole for a deuce.

than words in the back of his mind.
And Jim Mullins is popping with
ambition.
Recall the blowout which Chicago
scribes gave to visiting chronlclerS
when Dempsey and Tunney were
about to pull off their big go in Chi!
Well. at the time Mullins was eX-
pected to say a few words. And he
did.
I'VE can't all stage championship
bouts for the heavyweight title at
the same time" he remarked nut
[ will put on some heavyweight bouts
here, and don't make any mistake
about that"
The Chicago promoter put Jack
DELANEY and Paul Berlenbach on
at the Coliseum two weeks ago and
billed the winner to meet Tunney
for the title. Delaney-mOre than
anxious to mingle with Gene-put
forth his best efforts to stop the
rugged Berlenbach in jig time. He
turned the trick in six round, and
now there is no doubt that DeHney
and the worlds titleholder would go
big in Chicago.
Gibson Does Talking.
Tunney and Mullins talked things

ferring all matters pertaining to
coming battles to his manager, Billy
Gibson. This is a departure from
the champions strategy few

Henri Cochet has suffered his first ten
mis- defeat since he returned with the
triumphant Davis Cup team from the

The latest French marvel. 17-year-

SO, Ga. This was Cochet's first
tournament in his home town since
1926. He now resides in Paris.
Experts say Soyson's victory was no

Out for Richards Interests Yet.

is that Tex Richard has until Feb
ruary to put up 100000 for Tunney
bout. In June he is obligated 10 put
up another 100000. If he does this.
as he surely will, then Tex will be
in a position to do some talking.
And talk he will, in particular nam
ing the man he wants Gene to face.
Answering Tunneys statement that
he wishes to fight more than once -
year, Richard says he is willing to
put the champion on in the Madison
Square Garden and pay him the
champions share of the purse, 37z
per cent. This is ridiculous on the
face of it, and Richard knows it,
Richard has made his fame and
money in championship contests.
Without a titleholder he would be no
bigger than the thousands of small
time promoters all over the country.
There are others with big stadiums
at their command who would and
could put on a major go If Richard
did not monopoliZe the champions
services.
Tunney Wants Freedom.
This much Tunney knows, and he
is trying to break up the practice.
The boxing game is like any other
sport or business. 1t takes one TO
start a thing, then the others follow.
Tunney says champions services
should go to the highest bidder This
is true. Small doubt that if Gene
can find a loophole in his contract
large enough to crawl through, he
will.
There is something to Jim Mullins
attitude besides wanting to stage a
championship affair between the big
fellows. Jim does not like the idea
- an outsider, meaning Tex Richard
breaking into his domain and walk
ing away with a big pot of money.
Mullins thinks he should have been
declared Gin" He wasn't and he is
peeved.

The proof Of how much weight
there Is in Mullins remarks must
await the action of Tex Richard when
he makes his second payment. Tex
smiles when the name Of Mullins il
mentioned and pats mis- pocket. in

poses, saying: "Tunney will fight once
