FROWNS
ON BOXING

An official "KO" Is about to
be administered the widely adver.
tised boxing bouts to mark the
swan song of the boxing ring OF
the Arcade.
What does this mean?" ex-
claimed Major Edwin r. Hesse,
superintendent of police today as
he waved in his hands some ad-
vance printed notices of the 9 bouts
with Marty Gallagher and Chat
Thomas as headliners.
The boxing program, scheduled
for June s. would be under the
auspices OF the Potomac Park
Athletic Associa ton. Of which Lind
ley G. Schmidt is president.
"ThOse trying to stage box
ing ought to remember that
one man is doing time In
prison and another Is under
indictment here for violating
the boxing law" Major Hesse
declared.
81 see by their announcement that
members OF this association mus"
apply two days in advance to the
trustees for their members tickets.
That is only a subterfuge to violate
the law.
AS long AS there Is law against
such exhibitions, that law Is going
to be enforced
IF they want boxing matches,
let them first have the law
changed" said the major.

s Gs j. ROInafn. eAceJtenL prayer
and particularly keen observer
and student Of the game, called
attention to an odd fact about
No 10.
/ Notice the number OF players
who slice from the tee here, he
remarked to i. Munro Hunter, the
pro. as they watched the play from
No. 10.
"Of the last six players. he
continued, five of them have sliced
into the rough. Four of them
were good players. i
Page Hufty was about to drive.
Its almost worth a bet he
slices. laughed Putnam.
Hufty did. And It was the
beginning Of trouble that pre-
vented him from winning low
medal hOnOrs. He was out in
So and another 36 would have
put him three strokes under
the score OF G. j. Beger. Of
Georgetown University, that
eventually won. 3
Hufty took a five on No 10
another on No. II and continued
more or less erratically to pile
up a ~. His drive from No. TO-
into the rough. threw him off, il
appeared.
This chronicler continued to oh
serve where Putnam left off and
was struck with the unusual mum
Der of slices. particularly those OF
top-notch players.
1t may have been freak of the
day. More probably the answer lies
in the construction OF the hole
which would cause some players
to tighten up. A topped drive would
be in severe rough. A hooked drive
Of moderate length likely woulC
find a trap just off the fairwaS
or land in deep rough.
The fairWay is quite narrow,
There iS much less trouble on
the right than on the left. where
the rough is not as tough. To
make the par four without an
ball from the tee Is quite es-
Sential.
In view of all this it is of interest
to note that Pro Hunter plans q
