W0MEV'S TITLE AT STAKE IN TOURNEY
Glenna Collett Matched Against
 Champion in First Round

Hunstanton, England. May 1T R The first round match between two of the worlds best girl golfers gave unusual interest 10 the start of the tournament for the British women's open golf championship.
 Most experts believed that the IS holes between Mime. Simonc Thion De La Chaume Of France. defend- ing champion. and Glenna Collett, principal American contender, would settle the championship, since two of England's best golfers were not entered. Joyce wethered, who won the title three times. has retired from golf and was fishing in Scotland and Cecil Leitch's name was not on the list Of entrants.
 One golfer upon whom England pinned her hopes, Maudc Hume well, is New England girl who has lived in England and on June ? will marry Ray Atherton. coun- selor Of the American embassy at London. Some also hoped that Mrs. Herbert Gvedel,a. the present Eng fish native champion, or Enid Will son, who was runner.up to her, would halt the foreign advance. For 50 years British women sue ccssfully fought back the foreign invader until last year when Mile. Thion De La Chaume won.
 Four other Americans supported Miss Collett's challenge. Madge Miller, Detroit: Elizabeth Curtis, Clinton. Iowa: Mrs. Stewar, Hanley, Detroit. and Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd. Philadelphia. who won the British title as Dorothy Campbell and the American crown before and after her marriage to an American.
 Friends of Miss Collett had high hopes when in her last practice round on the championship course she had Il scintillating 74. The course. 6.300 yards. is along "Thn Wasf." an arm of the North sea. and is subject to chilly winds.

M'LARNIN MEETS SAMMY MANDELL
Lightweight Scrap Thursday
 Holds Center of Interest

New York, May l.-AR-The spotlight of the ring will be turned this week upon a lightweight re- vival. featuring Baby Face" Jimmy McLarnin of California-and Sam my Mandcll. the Rockford shcik.
 Mandell will take his worlds title out ot storage and defend it at the Polo grounds in a 16-round match against the sharp shooting young Irish lad next Thursday night for the second time since he won 1t from the vertcran Rocky Kansas.
 McLarnin can hit. Sid Ferris, Kid Kaplan and a few others will testify that the baby faced" youth packs | wallop like the kick Of a mule. Man. dell also packs a punch but the champion'. forte is skillful footworh and boxing ability.
 It will be the biggest money.battlc for the lightweight crown since Benny Leonard's last scrap with Lew Tender in 1923. It shpuld also Dc the most spectacular title bout ir the division since Benny was givina his southpaw rival few punching lessons.
 Mci.arnin, although the chal- lenKer probably will enter the ring a slight favorite over sleek haired Sammy. This will be due largely to the fact that the shtf,y little Irish man has been moro in the limelight. battling his way 10 the top in sparkling fashion, but also because he possesses that untailing gate magnet--the ''sock."
 McI.arnin's sensational rise has done more to restore interest in and prestige 10 the lightweight division than any single factor since Leonard was in his prime. There have been a lot Of entertaining lightweights-- Ferris, Goldstcin. Wallace, McGraw. Vicentini. Loayza. retrolle and others but the championship crop has been below standard.
 The decline set in with Leonarl's g retirement. Jimmy Goodrich. pro- claimed the champion after d New York elimination tournament, Rocky Kansas and Mundell have done little to uphold the prestige Of q division that has boasted such . line Of kings as Leonard. Welsh, Ritchie. Woigast. Nelson, McAuliffe and others.
 For all his inactivity in title com. petition, however. Mandell will be far from an easy mark for McI,ar- min and his famous K. o. punch. iI the estimation of most critics. As a matter of fact Mandelis record is better than McLarnin's or the whole but Jimmy. with no title to worry about. has come on like a house afire in the past year. beating the best Of the challenging crop. Sammy Is more experienced than his rival. . seasoned campaigner fast and shifty. McLarnin probably won't find the champions chin as fragile or as easy to crack as that of Ferris. But 1t will behoove Man. dell to keep it well guarded. One o, two of McLarnin's lightning like thrusts. If they connect. will be suf' f1cient 10 crown . new king.
