thin or too thick. Worrying
about these phases of the clubs
is a very definite golf disease
that the player should rid him
self of. Often such golfers have
a "favorite" club. They feel
they make fine shots with it.
The truth Of this is they have
finally made up their minds that
one club is all right and thus,
being entirely free from worry
about it, they make fair shots
with it. The same rule could
be applied, if they willed, to all
the other clubs. and a big golf
worry would take leave of them
forever.

GENE BAIT
FOR VOTES

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.--A heavyweight
championship fight between Gene
Tunney and the ''hest available
challenger win be the bait ex-
pected to lure the Democratic ma.
tionaI convention to Chicago next
June, it was announced today.
That plans for the bout are being
formulated was admitted by Anton
J. Cermak. president Of the Cook
county board and warm personal
friend Of Tunney.
Cooperating with CernlaIx In
his efforts to land the big fight
and the Democratic convention
for Chicago are Edward J.
Kelly, president Of the South
Park board, which controls Sol
diers Field, and Michael IgOe,
Democratic leader.
Tunney and Cermak, 1t was
learned, discussed the proposed bout
several weeks ago when the cham.
pion was here as guest of honor at
Cermak's all-Chicago Christmas fund
banquet. 1t was agreed, Cermak
said, that Tunney would defend his
title against the best available OPP
ponent.
The only cloud on the horizon
at this time, Cermak declared, Ii a
contract which Tex Rickard holds
for Tunney's services, hut Tunney
is said to have assured his Chicago
hackers that the Richard contract
would not interfere.
Cermak, IgOe, and Henry
Berger, attorney for the South
Park board, will leave Saturday
for Palm Beach, Fla, where
they will confer with Tunney.
James Mullen, Chicago promoter.
will have charge of technical ar
rangements incidental to promoting
the bout, Cermak announced. Tun-
ney, he said, will be guaranteed a
purse of $3.50, 900. Regardless of
whether Chicago lands the national
convention, Cermak says, the bout
will be held as scheduled.

won't carry the matter to an
extreme, which in this case would
call for him TO cast the caution OF
years to the winds and slug with q
slugger. The dry cleaner doesn't
live who can change the leopard s
spots. Mr.. Loughran expects to box
nicely until he has worn his man
down, if ever and then administer
the coup de grace, known to the
vulgarians as a punch on the but
ten.
All can say is that I am in
favor Of the program. 1t should
produce a great fight.
Lomski is a fast, weaving fighter
with a good left hook to the jaw
and hard right over the heart.
Loughran is fast. straight-hitting
boxer and tough beyond his collegi-
appearance. The distance OF 10
rounds favors Lomski's body punch.

ian.
If both go in there trying for
it may be that some one
will forsake the perpendicular for
the comparative permanency OF 10
seconds. 1 can think of worse things
to the average 15-round
fight.

events. IL might reasonably he
expected to keep IL for him.
The fact of the matter is that
he won't want it after the hut
tOnhOle makers begin riOting ut
the turnstiIes during the out
door season.
The young man is imbued with
the notion that Mr.. Tunney should
be abated and discontinued as
heavyweight champion by some one
and, after looking over the field
very thoroughly, has arrived at
the obvious conclusion that that
some one must be none other than
himself.
So, he has decided to attempt the
knockout of man who never has
been knocked out, according to the
records, just as matter Of starting
something that might finish with
him riding the plush at the pinnacle

Yet the young man himself really
thinks he has a punch and it is
barely possible that he is in a
position to know more about it than
the rest of us. All the writer can
venture is that he has gaZed firmly
at Loughran attempting 10 punch
some one very firmly on the nose
these several years and never really
has been able to catch him at it.
At a guess, l would say that his
philosophy calls not for the killing
of two birds with one stone. He
would prefer to take two stones
and make an assured corpse Of one

FARLEY
IS ON TAP
TONIGHT
BY R. D. Thomas

The crack District Duckpin
League will settle q couple or hot
arguments tonight in an executive
meeting at Convention Hall.
Al forfeit claimed by the Govern
ment Printing Office team has been
protested by Petworth and the Ar
cadia team has a similar complaint
against Meyer Davis.
Efforts to handle the situation out
of court apparently have aggra-
waited matters. Some OF the boys
have disputed quite bitterly in un'
official sessions.
The tendency has been to make
something of personal issue of 1t
and this is not calculated to advance
the welfare of the grand old league,
nor the individuals involved.

None of the teams is classed
as a formidable pennant con-
tender and a game or two

scrapping over when one con-
siders the disagreeable aspects

jump, would be far from assured: but
the result could not be very disas-
