KEARNS IS ABUSED

Ugly Rumors Appear Before
Every Big Fight His Man
Appears In.

wv the smart ones a jolt. bad
1 i selection does not hurt the
selector's feelings as much as
a slice off the bank roll and the smart
ones went for plenty on tbe Walker
Hudkins tilt.
A wild rumor travelled the rounds OF
cauliflower alley that the scrap between
the champion and his foremost rival
was "in the bag" Jack Kearns, with
his eyes pointed toward the light
heavyweight title, was to take over the
management of the new niddleweight
champion, Ace Hudkins, and so pocket
the profits Of two champions. kearns
knew all about this rumor and per-
mitted 1t to gain credence as 1t was
told by not bothering to deny 1t. This
was added proof that the tip was cor
rect. But the wise ones have never
been able to figure out the willy Kearns
with the result that Mickey Walker
went out and fought on his merits and
won just victory over Hudkins.
Unfair to KeaFns.
Jack Kearns is the most abused per-
sonage in the boxing game. Every time
Jack figures In a contest the cry is
raised that something under cover is
hidden. It has been said time and
again that Kearns has fixed this hight
and that fight but no one has yet come
forward with proof that Jack has been
a party TO any undermined doings.
Several months ago the writer wit
messed the Mickey Walker-Leo Lomski
fight in Philadelphia and watched the
scrap closely to detect signs OF an under
standing between the principals. 1t
was rumored around town that the boys
would waltz through the 10 rounds and
meet in a return 60 on the coast.
Fight Looked Straight.
The writer failed to detect any acting
by the pair and thought that Mickey
and Leo gave their best. The wallops

landed, exploded the theory that the
men we're doing business:
Kearns is clear for the time being.
Ugly rumors will again crop to the sur
face the next time one of his fighters
participates in an important contest.
Does Jack care what Is said about him?
He'll laugh outright when asked for an
opinion.

TIME increased interest in women's
golf about Washington is due,
within the next few years, to
Il produce a group of players who
will be, in q comparative way,
better golfers than the stars OF the
opposite sex, in the opinion OF Robert
T. Barnett, professional at the Chevy
Chase Club and holder Of the Middle
Atlantic pro title.
Barnett, who is busy daily on the
practice tee at Chevy Chase giving
lessons to the members of the club, with
many of his pupils from the fair SEX
claims that women are going at the
game nowadays with such well outlined
principles and such determination to
become good golfers that their progress
is certain, in his Judgment, to be more
rapid than that of the men.
Woman players have more time 10
play and practice, Barnett claims, and
they have a different slant on the game
from that of the persons Of the male
persuasion, Barnett claims. Many men,
he says, although they wish to improve
their game, take golf as means OF
exercise and diversion and instead OF
practicing shots 60 out and play
round of golf. Practice, in the opinion
of Barnett, is the surest way OF I'M
provement in the game of golf, and
male players do not practice often
enough. IT.
II Barnett's theory Is true, the dis
parity In scoring between the sexes may
be reduced. AS 1t now is, the star
woman players are eight or nine shots
back of the best of the male golfers.
This equation holds good throughout
the great mass OF golfers and probably
is due chiefly to the fact that women
