The next day it was rumored that
in some workshops many workers

workers had been dismissed for
staying away without permission on

On Monday, May 7th, everything
was as usual in the morning. Before

Colts Vital Plays
AS Told by Masters
THE
SECOND
SHOT

Of the second shot in these modern
times it always brings 70 mind the
mashie or the n1ashie nihltck.
The majority Of holes, ON the well
known courses are two shelters" On
these holes the expert makes his choice
between the clubs just mentioned, ale
though the duffer may be playing his
third brassie in the direction Of the
trap which guards the green.
So, In the second group OF golf ar
ticles which this introduces, the stars
will tell you not only how they make
their own second shots, but Of the play
ers they think the greatest from his
angle and of the best shots with the
iron clubs that hey have seen and re-
membered.
-, A Variety Of Methods.
There should be a variety of opinions,
as almost every expert has his own
method of playing the mashie and the
mashie niblick. Professionals often
change their method OF using these
clubs. A professional told me that
the only way to play an approach shot
was of the right foot. A few weeks
later he told me just as Solemnly that
the only way was off the left foot. The
answer was that II 1t didn't 60 well
for him one way he played 1t the other.
His advice was of small use to me, who
couldn't play the shot when using both
feet.
John Ball, many times champion of
England, always has been considered
great exponent Of the controlled iron
shot, although j. II. Taylor probably
won for himself the greatest reputation
as a wielder of the mashie Of any
Briton who ever breathed. Chick Evans
in his prime was great rnashie player
So was Harry Vardon. Walter Hagen
|, Is a master Of the Ynashie niblick, the
club above all oilers which made Jock
Hutchinson famous.
No modern golfer plays his irons
any better than Tommy Armour
Among the amateurs such players as
Bobby Jones and George Voight stand
out. That fine all-around golfer, Gene
Sarazen. likes a hole where he can
use spoon for second shot, and
Professionals hold that the second
shot Is more likely to decide champion
ships than any other. This may be
| true, but the chance Is always waiting
anywhere along the line from tee to
cup. That same Gene Sarazen captured
a Florida championship a few weeks
ago sinking a 30-foot putt for an eagle
on the final green.
And you viii remember the old say.
ing about Walter Hagen: That he !.
an average golfer who can putt. o.
course this isn't any truer than most
old sayings. Hagen can play any sho'
which need arises. But there certainl,
is no shot more important than thu
second shot or one with keener edgt
| to cut down a score. so listen to the
lcrowned heads Of the game while the.
talk 1t over.

GETS HIGH RATING
IF HE L|CKS R|SK0
German Is Favored to Take
Measure of Rubber Man
in 10-Round Go.

BY the Associated Press.
n EW YORK, February 1.-The
nj paths Of Max Schmeling and
VI Old Man Opportunity cross
l. tonight, and the Teuton heavy
weight hopes to get something
more than cold shoulder out Of the
encounter.
This time opportunity comes In the
portly guise of Johnny Risko, the Cieve-
land rubber man. He and Max will
travel 10 rounds or less for the edifica-
ton Of fight fans in Madison Square
Garden.
Strange though it may seem, Herr
Max is the betting favorite at odds Of
z to 5. There's little question that the
big German appeared to decided adj
American shores. He stopped Joe
Monte and Pietro CORR and gave Joe
Sekyra neat trouncing for a perfect
average to date.
But then Risko ranks, or ranked at
least, several grades above any Of this
trio. On the basis Of his recent de-
feats by Ernie Schaaf and Jimmy Ma
loney it would seem that Johnny didn't
do himself any good when he, took on
George Godfrey last Summer Johnny
got the decision on that occasion, but
he took some vicious body punishment
en- route.
Sensation Last Winter.
Still, Johnny always has had a faculty
for losing fights when they didn't mean
anything in particular. But he was
the sensation of the late and lamented
heavyweight elimination tournament OF
the Winter Of 1928. In every one of his
big "shots" the baker boy from Ohio
was on the short end Of the betting
and the long end of the decision.
Nothing could be fairer than that.
Herr Max says he expects to knock
out the rubber man. Max can sock,
there's no disputing, but there does
seem to be some doubt whether he
can stop as tough a foe as the Risko
who took everything the negro giant
Godfrey threw his way and came back
for more.

Courage Moran Bout Schmeng Big Ring Test Tonight
ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON=

THERE is more thin an
outside chance for the
Navy-Notre Dame foot
4 ball game to be held here
this year.
That's the conviction gained
from discussion Of the subject
by Knute Rockne, head coach
Of the South Bend Institution,
who arrived in Washington yes
terday and plans to remain
through tomorrow, when he will
be the luncheon guest of the
Notre Dame Club of Washing
ton at the Racquet Club. =
Rockne frankly is favorable
to this city as the scene for
Notre Danes clash with the
MiddieS next Fall, and is Just as
frankly opposed to Baltimore,
but as it is up to the Naval
Academy to designate the site
for its "home" game, the Cham
Der of Commerce, Board Of
Trade and other interested civic
organizations are advised to
concentrate on officials at An
napoliS in their efforts to land
the gridiron plum for Washing
ton.
So far as the date set-Oc-
tober lis concerned, there
would be no conflict on the local
foot ball calendar, and there is
every reason to believe the
other colleges of this imme-
date vicinity would welcome
the Navy-Notre Dame game
here on the theory that it
would serve to stimulate inter-
est in foot ball.
Clark Griffith Stadium is
available for use on that date
and officials of the Washington
base ball club have indicated a
willingness to make the booking
and have given assurances that
arrangements can be made to
seat 10000 spectators.
This is not a large throng, as
foot ball crowds go, especially
those Rockne's Ramblers are
accustomed to perform before
in their extensive travels about
the country. 1t practically is
assured a capacity attendance
would be attracted, however,
and this would mean that a
comfortable margin should be
obtained over and above the ex-
penses for staging the contest,
although obviously the profits
would not approach those pos
sible in progressive centers of
population where stadia with
double the seating capacity are
available.
No authorized statement on
their attitude toward Washing
ton as the locale for the Notre
Dame game has as yet been
forthcoming from any. Of the
responsible officials at the
Naval Academy, but it is be-
lieved they would be glad to
have the contest played here If
