MACKENZIE IS
BOBBY JONES'
GREAT THREAT
Scot Leads Group of Rising
Young Amateurs Who Are
Avid Title Seekers

New York, March 24.-When the
venerable Charles Evans, Jr., sought
the comforting cool of the clubhouse
at Minkahda last August, beaten 8
and by Bobby Jones in the cham
pionship round of the national anna
teur. as many critics as were there
pronounced Atlanta Roberts crown
one Of the safest in sportdom.
They professed to see no one
within gunshot who was capable of
taking Robert out where the fair
ways roll and traps yawn and COM
ing back with his scalp.
Yet the winter has heard it re-
peated many times that Jones has
made his last runaway of the ANA
teur. This Of player who rode
through the tourney at Minneapolis
by scores Of Cup, 3 and 2, 10 and ..
II and 10 and 8 and Z. A good deal
must have happened to cause any
ST. :, switch in sentiment.
First Of all was Jones' announce
ment that he would limit his future
play to the amateur and open and
would at all times subordinate golf
to his practice Of law.
Golf Suffers
1t was Immediately recalled that
Bobby came to Oakmont last spring
with little warming up because he
was then "boning" for his bar
exams and that his play that week
was, for him. very mediocre and
without confidence. This led to
the conjecture that he cannot ex-
pect to retain his game at razor
edge and WOO Blackstone as as
siduously as he says he is going to.
One or the other must suffer. Bobby
declares it will be the golf which,
as he says, doesn't buy groceries
for the Joneses."
Another factor-and this may
turn out to be most important-is
the slow but certain rise Of the
group which includes Roland Mac
Kenzie, Gene Romans, Phil Finlay
and handful of others who were
batting around in knee pants not
so long ago, but have come to the
fore rapidly within the years since
Jones first assembled to the throne.
Mackenzie is undoubtedly the
most dangerous Of the lot, especially
since he seems to have outlined a
definite program of practice and
conditioning. Roland grew very
rapidly, too fast, in fact, for his
bones and muscles to keep up. AS
a result he hasn't had the physique
to stand tournament pressure.
Early this winter, however, he
went into the Pacific northwest
where he worked in q lumber camp
for several months in order to
strengthen wrists, shoulders and
legs. Now he is back at Brown
University and has pronounced him.
self fit for the summers mashie
wars.
Mac Is Good
Mackenzie is one Of the most
skillful shot makers among the
amateurs. Give him the body to
back it up and there's no limit to
his possibilities.
Romans and Finlay both lasted
into the third round at Minikahda.
The former disappeared at that
point before Jimmy Johnston, who
was on his home grounds. Finlay
jumped into the semifinal, but the
grizzled Francis Ouimet subdued
him, 5 and 3. Both, however, were
accommodating the tournament exper-
fence that will stand them in good
stead in the future.
Nor is Jones' immediate future
made any less thorny by the return
Of Jess Sweetser, who has won a
game fight against illness and is

Dx 1HlLlI -. ClANANOAA
San Francisco, March PA new
welterweight sensation has come out
of the California rings.
He's an Italian-born lad of 90,
christened Raffalc Giordano, but
whose ring monicker is Young Cor
bett III. Furthermore, he's south
paw with an awkward style, plus
ability to box and punch with
brains enough to know how to mix
the two styles and keep an opponent
baffled.
For his last step into the ranks
of bona fidc stardom, Corbett set
the boxing world on its ears by
stopping Eddie Kayo Roberts with
a terrific left to the solar plexus
in the ninth round. And Roberts
once stopped Joe Dundee in one
round of fighting.
"Acc" Hudkins, Nebraska Wild
cat, was decidedly interested spec
tator at the fight. Corbett insists
he's going to tangle with Hudkins
soon.
"Now that I've taken Roberts,
am demanding a match with Hud-
kins," Corbett announces. AFTER
that, I'll beat Dundee for the title. !"
Oh, he's nothing if not sure of
himself, this kid from the raisin
fields of Fresno. But so far, he's
backed up his words by perform
ances.
He battled along in small-town
fights and preliminaries until a
fighter injured his hand, and he
went in on two days notice to fight
Young Jack Thompson, negro flash,
and hold him to a draw in ten rounds.
They both grew to welterweights,
with Thompson, the coast champion,
due to his marvellous boxing abil-
ity.
In a recent match, Corbett met
Thompson, with the money on
Thompson, to punch him full of holes

Harvard Will Be Late
Picking Rowing Crew

Cambridge, Mass, March "a
(AP)-It will be late in the pre-
liminary practice season this year
before Harvard begins picking its
rowing Fights. Coach Ed Brown,
who has just put hundred oarsmen
to work OH the Charles river, indi-
Gates he will follow the same policy
in picking his crew this year as last.
AS soon as rowing conditions be-
come normal he expects to cut his
squad down to about four boat loads.
These he will keep as evenly matched
as possible, with lots Of racing
among the crews. The choosing Of
an all-star eight will be made just
before the competitive season gets
under way.

and box him to death. Instead,
Corbctt the club fighter, took the
lead, outboxed and outsmarted the
clever negro and won.
Then came his match with Rob-
erts, deadly two-fisted hitter. And
again, Corbett did the paradoxical
thing by carrying on two-fisted
attack Of punching that finally got
Roberts.
Corbett weighs in around las, a
natural weller. He's small of build,
so overweight problems are likely
not to bother him. He's feet S IL
inches tall, and built on speedy lines.
He's proven that he can assimilate
punishment as we'll as dispense
punches, and he has shown knock
outs with each hand. Also, he has
the ability to smother an opponent
with stiff punches, then completely
tie up the other fellows hands in
the clinches.
The Pacific coast expects great
things from Raffalc Giordano in
the weller class back east, the same
as fans out here bet their rolls that
Jimmy McLarnin would thrill the
most blase critics.

the first flight of American golfers.
Sweetser was sick man in 1926
when he won the British amateur.
He collapsed before reaching home
and his commanding bulk was MISS
ing entirely from the 1927 picture.
It is a question, of course, how
swiftly Jess will be able to revive
his old skill. At the peak, he must
be reckoned a formidable contender
for the simon pure title.

Atlanta, Ga, March 24.-tR)-1f
threats from training camps OF
American League clubs are to be
taken seriously, the 1923 race will
find seven teams lined up against
the New York Yankees.
Ways and means to stop the
world champions in their effort to
win three penrants in as many
years are being discussed by boards
Of strategy over far-flung battle
front stretching from Florida
through Louisiana to Texas.
Three Of the Yankees rivals be-
ievc they can beat the champions
and need only to decide on the
method. The other four are more
interested in getting into the first
diviion than winning the current
pennant and, while they too think
the New Workers can be turned
back, their thought for the moment
seems to be what Of it."
Higgins Remains Calm
In the face Of the opposition
which certainly outnumbers him,
Manager Miller Higgins remains
calm. He will offer the same club
that topped the American League
in 1926 and 1927. He has added
some reinforcement but the shock
troops are the old first liners.
The active challenge to New York
supremacy probably will be flung
by the Philadelphia Athletics
Washington's Senators and the
Tigers of Detroit.
Connie Mack, at this season of the
year. seems in better position than
he was able to boast of at the same
time in 1927.
Washington will count heavily o.
it's revised pitching staff and the
batting and base running of George
Sisler.
The Tigers have sent Marty Nc.
Manus to third base, where his add
ed weight will make him an i'm.
portant figure and the fleet Harry
Rice will patrol an outfield post.

classes from the kindergarten o,

Not SO confident. McGraw's men

AS a consequence the Giants fell
