Iras Burroughs, who has formerly
been noted for her basket ball and not
her tennis performance at Central High
School, yesterday won the net cham
pionship in straight sets from Helen
Nordlinger, seasoned racketer, 6-1,
GO.
1t was the first time that Miss Bur-
roughs had competed for the singles
title and her performance from the
first round to the last proved her TO
be one of the outstanding racketers of
the school,
Even Miss Nordlingers dependable
service, which had been counted upon
to win many points for her, was not
consistently effective against Miss Bur-
roughs' canny driving and ability to
play herself out of tight places.
Athletic letters will be awarded both
the winner and runner-up.

TORONTO, Ontario, October 15.-The
National Boxing Associations cham
pionship committee has its own ideas
as to the legitimate rules of the various
Kingdoms of fiSticuffs.
Adopting a list of champions sub
mitted by Thomas E. Donohue, presi-
dent of the association, the committee
agrees with the world at large that
Andre Routis of France is entitled to
the featherweight crown he recently
won from Tony Canzoneri; Sammy
Mandell to the lightweight champion
ship; Joe Dundee to the welterweight
throne, and Mickey Walker to rule as
head of the middleweightS. But there
agreement ends. The committee recog-
nizes frankie Genaro of New York as
f1yweight champion; AL Brown, New
York negro, as bantamweight champion
and suggests that Jack Delaney be con-
sidered king of the light-heavyweights in
the event that Tommy Loughran def
nitely forsakes the 175-pound class for
the heavyweights.
The New York State Athletic Com
mission recognizes Izzy Schwartz as fly
weight champion; acknowledges no title
holder among the bantamweights and
still thinks Loughran rules the light
heavyweights.
To clear of the muddled heavyweight
situation, lacking a leader since Gene
Tunney retired, the boxing associations
committee suggested that general recog-
milton be accorded the winner of an
elimination tournament, in which 1t

suggests Loughran, Young Stribling,
Johnny Risko, Jack Sharkey, Knute
Hansen, Pauline Uzcudun and Roberto
Roberti participate. The committee,
however, insisted on recognizing Lough-
ran as the leading contender.
The committee, at the same time.
recognized the following as leading con-
tenders: Flyweight, Schwartz: BAN
tamweight, Fidel La Barba; feather
weight, Benny Bass of Philadelphia;
lightweight, Joe Click of New York;
middleweight. Rene de Vos of Belgium;
light-heavyweight, Leo LomSki of Aber-
deem, Wash. 1t suggested that the
leading welterweight contender be Sc
lected by means Of tournament, in
which Jackie Fields Sammy Baker and
Jack Thompson would start at scratch.
In its action with regard to Delaney,
the committee pointed out that the
Bridgeport boxer is entitled to the
crown If Loughran decides to give it
up. Delaney won the title from Paul
Berlenbach and then retired to cast his
lot with the heavyweights. Loughran
subsequently won the title by defeating
Mike McTigue.
The committee voted to recommend
to the associations annual meeting here
today that all title holders boxing in
N. B. A. territory be compelled to meet
opponents at the class weight in their
respective divisions. The committee
seeks to eliminate the practice on the
part of champions and leading con-
tenders of forcing rivals to come in

Pointing out that golf, and tourna-
ment golf in particular, is supported In
large measure by men who cannot break
95 and cannot hope to qualify In the
regular flights of any sort of open
tournament, Guy Mason, chairman OF
the Congressional Country Club gol1
and grounds committee, today announc-
ed today that Congressional Will stage
next Spring an invitation tourney 1or
golfers around Washington with nanol-
caps of 20 and more. Tne nanolcap
limit may be lowered to IL, Mason Saiu'
but the effect will be to keep the
"sharpshooters" out of the tournament
and to limit the entry list to the men
whose greatest thrill in the game Is
cracking 90.
Mason has been a consistent advocate
of organizing tournaments for the men
who seldom get down into the low 8OS,
and has Striven for many months TO
arrange tournaments which will get the
bulk of the playing membership at Con-
gressional into club tournaments.
He thinks be Is on the right track
In promoting a real buffers " tourna-
ment in the Spring, pointing out tnat
a club tournament in which only the
high handicap men were permitted to
play drew a record entry list for the
Congressional Club, and that so much
interest was manifested in the affair he
determined to arrange an invitation
tourney at Congressional for members
of other clubs with high handicapS.
Mason is not certain whether the club
will hold its regular open tournament
next Spring, in addition to the duff
fers' event, but said that the tourney
for the high handicap men will have
the major part of the attention.
Although the entry list in the wom-
ems championship of the Middle At
lantic Golf Association at Virginia
Beach, Va, last week was small, the
championship was truly representative
of the best golfing talent in this sec
ton of the country. Miss Virginia
Holzderber of Baltimore, who won the
championship, thoroughly deserved her
victory on the strength and SteadineSS

Winning the medal with card of 88,
Miss HolZderber seldom went over 80 in
her first three match play rounds and
then raised her game to its peak in the
final round against Mrs. J. M. Haynes
of Columbia to score an 83 and defeat
the Washington woman by and 3.
Mrs. Haynes played fine golf to reach
the final and played her best game of
the tourney in the final round, but she
was unable to cope with the accuracy

NEW YORK, October 15.-Revolu-
tionary talk about ripping apart the
New York American League club in
order that the American League may
have race in 1929 is one of the out
growths of the second victory in sue
ceSSion by the Yankees over the ST.
Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Had the National League beloved
for such change, it might be under
stood. The National League is becom-
ing tired of being knocked in the head
and stunned, especially when it is twice
repeated with such vigor that the
National League cannot SO much as
get to its feet.
But If the National League does lose
four straight in world series it is of
no severe concern. because there is no
specific title involved in dual series
between the major leagues. 1t is an
implied title. There is no real world
series. 1t is an intra United States
series. No nation outside of the United
States has challenged a major league
winner and until there is international
base ball. the grand and lofty title of
world champions" belongs to us
through lack of challengers.
Demand From Philadelphia.
However, the suggestion that the
players of the New York Americans be
parceled around in order that the
strength of the team be tempered down
comes from American League men,
There is an especially strong current
running from the direction of Philadel-
phia. Why should Philadelphia, of all
clubs, get the benefit of cutting down
the strength of the Yankees?
Any suggestion of this nature is
great deal like the suggestions which
were made some years ago in regard
to the Giants. Whenever the Giants
won championship of any kind there
always were some to suggest that the
players be distributed here and there

Gar and Bureau Pharmacy scored

Talk of Breaking Up Yankees
To Aid League Branded Foolish

so there might be another winner in
the National League.
In time the Giants "got theirs" as
the bows say. and since then they have
repeatedly got it, whatever 1t is, al
though Manager McGraw has steered
an unwieldy craft into the money by
outplaying other managers mentally.
The Yankees will not be winners Tor
ever. They may not win in 1929. Tnere
is a general opinion in some quarters
that they may. Yet they will have to
be a very good ball club If they do, a
better ball club than they were this year
and a better ball club than they were
in 1927.
Not a better ball club than they were
in the early part of 1928, because II
is quite likely they were as good then
as any ball club ever was. But tney
were not as good as any ball club ever
was in the latter part of the year and
they finished we'll by shrewd manage
ment and because they were dominant
over the Athletics.
Would Ruin the League.
If the Yankees were torn apart to
crafty any kind of base ball cowardice,
it would be for the benefit of the Ath-
leticS, who would almost surely win the
pennant in 1929, with the st. Louis
Browns as the strongest possible COM
petitors in sight now. Base ball policy
of that character would ruin any major
league.
There must be fight and battle
in professional base ball off the fields
that is as determined and as asser-
tive as the fight of the players. If
there is not, if there is suspicion of
friendly loaning of players with intent
to give momentary aid, the game will
be assailed at once.
The argument that the owner of the
Yankees can purchase players as he
wishes them, because he has the funds
to do SO, will go as far as players will
prove their skill-and often the $25. 900
player is not worth one-fifth of the in
veStment.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, October 15.--It is
N the impression of base ball men
VI that Walter Johnson Is sure to
4 be seen in 1929 as leader of the
Washington club, and the dis
cussion in base ball circles today all
runs to the great pitchers chances of
bringing home winning team, or at
least pennant-contending team.
A conference was to be held today
between johnson and Clark Griffith,
owner of the Washington club, at which
arrangements were to be completed for
Johnson's shift from Newark to Wash
ington.
johnson took hold of the Newark
club as manager this year with an
organization made up of old and young
players, and he was handicapped by
illness at the very beginning of his
managerial career. 1t was not until
the base ball season was in full swing
that johnson could take his place as
the monitor of the Newark outfit.
In one of the closest races that
the International League ever has had,
the Newark team at times was power
ful this year and seemed to be better
than an ordinary contender. AS the
season went on, Newark was found
lacking in endurance to maintai the
PoSC ob WIllCII tLAc IGdSuc WdS GIdfeIlIlS.
On the whole, the probable success of
Johnson as manager of the Washington
team in 1929 is not to be based with
fairness to him on the record of the
Newark club of 1923. 1t is to be ex-
pected that Johnson will do some ef-
fective work with the Washington
pitching staff, and he has some prom
iSing material with which to work.
A Thought Regarding Harris.
1t is quite evident that Stanley Har-
ris, Washington pilot, is to 60 to
Detroit as manager of the Tigers, but
not as player That is a little un-
expected, because it was thought that
Harris could add to the strength of the
Tigers at second base. 1t seems that he
is willing to stand on his possible sue
cess as bench manager, and in that
case whatever success he may have will
influence opinion one way or another as
to whether 1t was Harris or Griffith
who should get credit for the past sue
cess of the Washington team.
Harris has had his strong supporters
and there also is an element which be-
lieves that he was successful with the
Washington club only as he happened
to be assisted by Griffith - despite the
fact that Griffith stated after the first
pennant victory of the Washington
team that Harris was responsible for its
good fortune.
These probable changes will leave the
American League with Carrigan as man.
