TOM HAS NO ONE
!. TO TEST HIS SKILL
Even Man Who Battles Like
Sharkey Is Missing at
Training Camp.
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

v Y ARvEYs LAKE. Pa, September
20.-Tommy Loughran todsy
swings into the final week sOt
preparatory work for his rcon-
test with Jack Sharkey, sched.
uled for next Thursday night at YANKEES
Stadium, New York City. After cay
OF rest, Tommy returned to the GRIND
and tore of long stretch on the ROAD
and then boxed nine rounds with his
sparring mates.
The idea in resting up the former
light heavyweight champion was to G. . :
serve the weight he has taken on SINE
the Jimmy Braddock fight and send
him into the ring against Sharkey
weighing close to the 190-pound mark
Judging by the enthusiasm and vim
that Tommy puts into his work, 1t Is
hardly likely that he will attain q mark
within i've pounds Of his opponents
weight.
Loughran has added several new spar
ring partners to his staff but the ability
Of the boys Is not such that 1t Will
give Loughran O chance to do anything
more than 60 through the motions Of
boxing. He spears them too easily with
lefts and can even take chances Of slug
ging with them without fear of being
hurt. So far as frankie Cawley and
Jack Wolfe are concerned. Tommy

he might Just as well be skipping rope
or tapping the light bag for all the good
the workouts with these men are doing
him.
with the possibility of realizing his
ambition to lead the heavyweight ranks
facing him, it is strange that Loughran
has not gathered together a corps OF
harder Sparring mates-men who tight
somewhere on the style of Sharkey or
those who can bore in, take a punch
and fight back. But Loughran is SUI
premely confident Of his ability to beat
Sharkey.
Tommy Is looking in the pink. There
Is no doubt Of that. The injury to his
forehead, which he received when his
head came into collision with Jimmy
Braddock's, has completely healed. and
care has been taken to make certain
that any old cut is not reopened before
the bell sounds next Thursday night.

n ham Of Annapolis plays golf he
N won't forget the run-up shot he
played to the first green at Ban
nockburn In the play-o6 OF
tie for a place In the flrst fight OF the
BannockbNrn tournament. The genial
Bin, who has played gcif all ever the
globe and is q former playmate OF Bobby
the South, was one of six men who
played of for I'VE places as, dusk settled
over the Banrlockburn course yesterday.
John, r.. Miller nearly drove the
green. So did Popham. Z. L. Bono
hooked his tee, shot, and Norman J. Hall
half topped his ball. Charles II. Nor
row hit q fair shot down the middle and
Jesse Bsggett hit another good one. And
Popham, knowing q 4 would be almost
certain to win d place, chose mtdirOn
70 run. the shot up TO the pin. He hit
II well and the bali skipped over the 70
yards between Popham ana the green,
hoped lightly up on the putting surface
and rolled into the cup for an eagle q.
Some sayAN IT, hadn't hit the pin, It
might have ended In the Conduit road.
But Popham claims he hit q perfect
shot, which would have been dead for q
8 IL 1t hadn't gone down for the deuce.
Norman Hall took a S on the hole and
dropped back into the second flight. but
that was all right. for Halls handicap
enabled him to play in the second
section. .#
Out Of the merry scramble for posi-.
lions In the first flight, three or four
gents who would normally be considered
first fighters in any company around
washington, were dropped out Of the
Bannockburn tourney because their
handicaps required them to qualify In
the first flight and no other. Chief
among these were Harry q. Pitt Of
Manor, who half-topped just enough
tee shots and missed enough puts TO
give him an 90, which was one stroke
too high for the first flight. Pitts han
dicap did not allow him to play In the
second flight, under the restrictions in
force at Bannockburn, nor did the ham
iicaps of Thomas D. Webb. IT,. of Wash
ington; Parker holland Of Congressional,
p. w. Calfee of Washington, or Ray Fer
rell Of Manor.
While the field which started in the
medal round yesterday was supposed
to be q bit faster than that Of Wednes-
day, all the stars had fair crack at
the IT'S registered by trio Of golfers
on the first qualifying day, and none
OF them could better that mark. John

Looks at Spot on
Back of the Ball

Bobby Jones. bred to golf, is not con-
scious Of looking at any particular part
Of the ball throughout his swing. But
the other 1899, 999 of us who play the
game have to build up our swings q
point at time by conscious effort.
We have to master keeping the head
down as well as hitting the ball clearly.
To aid in both these matters Cyril
Tolley advises the duffer to rivet his
sight on the farthest back dimple Of the
ball and keep 1t there until his right
shoulder has come around and under
his head on the through swing.
Tolley even advises the duffer either
to tee his ball with one Of Its markings
at this spot or even to paint mesh
or dimple to be sure he has q definite
point to look at. Then swing the club
to meet that point. You see your
muscles are controlled by sight. It
directs their effort during the swing.

twenty-five witnesses. including
doctors, policemen and other auto.
lists have been subpoenaed by the
prosecution and 20 by the defense.
To Last Two Weeks
The trial is expected to last two
weeks or more and conviction means
term in prison Of from 10 years
to life.
While Pantages himself awaits
trial for an alleged criminal attack
on Eunice Pringle, II, dancer, the
murder charge against his wife is
the outgrowth of the death Of Juro
Rokumoto. a Japanese gardener.
Rokumoto was guiding the family
car along Sunset Boulevard, one OF
the main arteries of traffic in Holly.
wood. on Sunday evening, June Is,
when Mrs. Pantages' machine
rammed it. She was accused Of
being drunk.
Steuer Attorney
The Japanese, his wife and their
two sons, a woman friend and her
two children were injured as well as
Mrs. Pantages. Rokumoto died later
after an operation.
The defense will be directed by
Max Steuer, noted trial lawyer, who
flew here from New York, and w.
l. Gilbert and w. Joseph Ford, Los
Angeles criminal attorneys.
In many respects, the defense
battery, which will also act jointly
for Pantages, considers the wife's
case the more difficult to combat
because Of the liquor angle.
Charge Is Unusual
The murder charge against her is
unusual in criminal procedure here
involving automobile fatalities.
Autoists are generally booked for
manslaughter in such cases.
District Attorney Buron Fits,
however, felt that, inasnnuch as
Mrs. Pantages was accused of
driving while intoxicated, she should
face the more serious charge. An
intoxication complaint against her
is being held in sabeyance.
The prosecution will seek to prove
the accused was under the infIu-
ence of liquor to such an extent
that she was unable to control her
machine and drove. into three other
cars before the fatal crash.
In contradiction. the defense, It is
understood, will contend that she
had not been drinking, but was
suffering from a nervous disorder
which was responsible for her con-
dition.
