BY HENRY L. FARRELL

Washington, April 27.-The great
desire to kill the ball and watch it
take a long ride keeps lot of
golfers from becoming good golfers,
in the opinion Of Roland Mackenzie.
In this day of the grand sock on
the baseball diamond and in the
prize ring, almost every athlete
wants to be a slugger. The aver
age golf player wants to out-drive
any man on the course and then
get to the next tee as best he can.
IF novice were to ask me what
stroke to learn first ] would tell
them to start on the putting green"
Mackenzie said. Putting shots
teach proper stance, rhythm, con-
centration and coordination quicker
than tee shots and thy give you a
better feel of the club. But how
many novices do you see practicing
on the green compared to those who
take flock Of balls to the tee and
drive them all over the course ?"
Mackenzie, however, does not be-
lieve that putting is the most i'm
portant part of the game. Neither
does he believe that driving is the
most desirable accomplishment, al
though it is important.
Middle Shots Count
"In my game, l believe that the
middle shots are the most import
ant because if you have fine iron
game you can make up for some
driving or putting deficiencies that
you might have or might fall into
suddenly. But it will cost you
many strokes if you are good away
from the tee and accurate on the
greens and have to fight the ball
through the middle.

many players might get more bene-
fit out Of practice if they would ex-

Boston, April 27.-tR-After
watching each Of the l65 bouts
which were run off in the three
days A. A. U. National amateur
boxing championship tournament
and sizing up each Of the boxers,
It was evident to me that the United
States would have q better Olympic
boxing team than in 1920 or 1924.
The excellent material which the
tournament uncovered makes the
American Olympic boxing chances
look brighter than they ever have
been in the past. ! was especially
impressed by the growing number
Of college boxers who participated.

tions Of the country and the service
academies, as we'll Is the generally
high type non-college boxers who
took part.
It was . wonderful tournament
and the Boston officials of the ANA
teur Athletic association, who staged
it, deserve much credit for their eff
forts. ! was deeply impressed by
the unfaltering interest Of the pub
lie. Twenty thousand spectators
viewed the bouts and paid $4,000
for the privilege. The gate re-
ceipts, I understand. broke all finan-
cial records for such an event.
Fought Smartly
Most OF the youthful boxer proved
themselves "smart fighters" what
pleased me even more, they ap-
peared to have been schooled more
along the lines Of Olympic boxing.
That is they had greater inclina-
ton to clean, open fighting instead
OF the clinching and holding style.
In Thomas Lown Of New York
who successfully defended his Ma
tional welterweight title, the Unit
ed States has one of the finest
amateur boxers in the world. Lown
has been National champion for
the past four years, as he was
twice the 1876 pounds titlist before
he outgrew that division. Another
exceptional boxer is Ensign Hender-
son Of the navy, who was twice the
intercollegiate middleweight cham
pion during his student days ut the
navy academy. They, with George
Hoffman, the shifty heavyweight
champion, have nothing to fear from
the British and German boxers,
who shape up as the United States
chief Olympic rivals, although Ar
gentine has q crack welterweight in
Hector Mendez, the runnerup in the
1924 games at Antwerp.
