WILL SEEK GLORY
ON DIXIE COURSES
Chick Also to Shoot for Titles
In National Open and
Amateur.

OHICAGo, January 20
III Chick Evans, the Chicago
~ golf amateur, whose play
slumped badly through
the last two seasons, after he had
staged q sensational comeback
and marched to the finals of the
1927 national championship, does
not believe that he is through as
a topnotch performer.
Evans thinks he can again beat his
way back to the front ranks of the
game, and this week he will start his
1880 campaign in the annual pan
American championship, to be played at
Kdgewater, Miss. 1t will be the first
time Chick has competed in a South
ern Winter championship since 1911,
when he won the North and South at
Pinehurst.
His entry now is indicative of the Sc
robustness with which he takes his eff
fort to come back, and his play along
the Gulf Coast will be a barometer Of
his chances to regain the skill which
apparently was lost last Summer.
To Meet Stern Rivalry.
Evans will encounter some good OPP
position in the pan-American. Among
his potential foes will be Jack WestIand,
present French amateur champion;
Gus Novotny, holder of the pan-Ameri-
can title; Johnny Lehman, who quail
fed nth in the national at Pebble
Beach; Jimmy Manion of st. Louis and
Fred Lamprecht, twice holder of the
national intercollegiate championship,
Once before Evans was accounted all
through and the U. 8. q. A. dropped
him from the 1925 Walker Cup team,
even as it did this year. Then Chick
went out and began to play real golf.
He staged a fine rally in the amateur
at Baltusrol and the following year at
Minneapolis Bobby Jones shot one of
the most sensational rounds in the his
tory Of golf to stop the Chicagoan.
Evans believes that the U. 5. q. A..
did him a favor in selecting Minneapo-
lis and Philadelphia courses for the
1880 championships. 1t was at Mini
kanda that Chick won the open in 1916
and reached the finals in the 1927 anna
teur. While the 1880 open will be
played at Interlachen-just few miles
from Minikanda-Ch thinks the Min
nesota air and landscape will do much
to rejuvenate his game. Merton Cricket
OAAOt VG1lAC VA 61lC 1oOU hIihbcuIt was
the scene of Evans first victory in that
event, the year he won the open.
No Golf Patriarch.
While Evans is one Of the real vet
Grams of amateur golf, he Is not yet a
patriarch. He is younger than DR.. o.
F. willing and Chandler Egan and not
much older than Francis Ouimet and
Harrison Johnston.
This Winter season has dealt poorly
with some OF the leading professionals,
and there are many who have yet to
win their first money. Walter Hagen
has collected just $50 for his work in
Pacific Coast tournaments, but has had
q lot Of fun. Unless there is change
in luck many professionals will remain
rooted to their flresides next year and
shovel snow rather than divots.

R|SKO TOO LITTLE"
AMUSES RING FANS
New York Ban on Bout With
CampoIo, Big Argentine,
Held Ridiculous.

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK. January 2e-Little
M Johnny Risko. the Cleveland
baker boy, is too small and deli
cate to be exposed to the heavy
punches of Victorio Campolo, Argen-
tine gaucho, in New York State, so the
New York State Boxing Commission,
In solemn conclave, ruled yesterday in
declining to sanction the Risko-Cam-
polo bout Madison Square Garden had
scheduled for February z.
The commission said that Risko, who
has met them all and whipped most OF
them, would be no match Tor Campolo,
who dropped q decision to Phil scott
in his last American start. Risko
whipped Scott at Cleveland several
years ago and has beaten among others
Otto Won Porat, Ricardo Bertazzolo,
Jack Sharkey, Jimmy Maloney, George
Godfrey. Pauline Uzcudun and Jack
Delaney.
The commissions decision came as q
shock to sports writer's. Risko. rough
and-ready customer at all times, has
been able 70 protect himself without
outside help every thine he has fought
here. He has been particularly sue
cessful against the bigger heavyweights.
Campolo at 225 pounds would have
about 80 pounds on Risko, but that
margin would not trouble him. Jack
Dempsey did not find Jess Wizards
huge bulk at Toledo a handicap, nor
have hundreds of other champions and
near-champ1onS.
Primo May Shadow Box.
The more facetious among the COM
missions critics asked what the COM
mission was going to do about getting
another opponent for Primo Camera,
the Giant Italian. Camera, weighing
270 pounds, is in a class by himself so
far as weight goes. The commission
could not permit any of the current
heavyweights to meet Camera and re-
main consistent.
Campolo, possibly the biggest outside
of Camera himself, scarcely could be
permitted to meet the Italian, for he
would be outweighed by 40 pounds
George Godfrey, who fights at about
$50 or 235 pounds, is heavier and
stronger than Campolo, but then he is
so much shorter than Camera that the
commission hardly could allow him to
get into the ring with the Venetian
carpenter. That about exhausts the
field.
In fact, If the commission sticks to
its ruling. there is no field for Camera.
He will have to content himself, APP
parently, with shadow boxing If he
wants to fight in New York State.
That Is, of course, provided the COM
mission applies to him the same rule
it pulled out of the hat for Risko.

ice was the idea of Mr.. Pyle, but at the
University of Illinois they maintain
stoutly that it was Oranges own idea
of earning a livelihood while he was
working to get his degree at college. He
did not remain at Illinois long enough
to get this degree.
The gate receipts were calling to him
and to Mr.. Pyle, especially to Mr.. Pyle.
Grange left the university to head his
own professional foot ball team and to
gain yardage, which would be more or
less permanently recorded on the cash
register. He said later that when he
had made enough to guarantee 1nde-
pendence for himself and his family.
and to lift the mortage from the old
homestead, he would return and work
out the senior year for his sheepskin.
That was some few years ago. Mr..
Red Grange is still shy his degree. Per-
haps he feels that he can get along
without it.
The Genius Of Pyle.
INTERCOLLEGIATE foot ball always
should be grateful to Red Grange.
He demonstrated that it could not be
successfully professionalism and thrown
on the open market like base ball and
ice hockey. Or perhaps the credit is due
to Mr.. C. c. Pyle, who conceived the
idea Of cashing on the overballyhoo that
was built around Red Grange when he
was running wild for Illinois.
It must be recalled that Mr.. Pyle
performed the same service for tennis
when he included Mile. Suzanne Lenglen
and some of the other amateur stars in
this game to join his one-night stand
troupe Of professional tennis players.
The wages of professional tennis are not
very high. 1t seems that most Of these
stars regretted that they deserted the
amateur courts to play directly on the
cash register.
But the professionalizing of Red
Grange and the capitalization of his
campus prestige alarmed those who hold
their intercollegiate foot ball sacred no
little. It increased the talk Of over
emphasis. The critics who hold reason
ably enough that 1t is overemphasized
and overballyhooed, held up Red Grange
as the terrible example.
The DETECTION of Mile. Lenglen
alarmed the tennis people to the same
extent. They were afraid that Mr.. Pyle
would get them all, and that the best
| OF the tennis players would be on the
one-night stands instead of working for
Davis cups and Weightman cups.
| But Mr.. Pyle overplayed his hand.
The Bunion, or Sore-dog Derby. finished
him. Tennis is back to normally. It
seems that there never will be the bally-
hoo for another foot ball player that
there was with Red Grange. The in
ducements for foot ball stars have be-
come so lean that the game Is safe for
the colleges.

CHICAGO STARTLED
BY 11-DAY DECISION
Illinois Boxing Body Rules
LOmski Wins Long After
Draw Is Called.

BY the Associated Press.
~HIcAGo. January 90. - The
"ll-day decision" has joined
the now famous IA count" as
Chicago's contributions to the
oddities Of the prize ring.
Last night, IL days after Leo Lomski,
the Aberdeen assassin" had exchanged
round house rights and leftS for 10
rounds with James Braddock, the rug
ged light-heavyweight from Jersey City,
the Illinois state Athletic Commission
revealed that an error had been made
by the referee and that Lon1ski was en-
titled to the decision instead OF draw.
The ruling was made official and the
many fans, who wagered heavily on
the outcome of theSmatch, found them
selves receiving OF paying out as the
unexpected ruling dictated.
Undue excitement and poor arith-
metic on the part of the referee, Davey
Miller, was blamed for the mix-up by
the commission. At the conclusion of
the fight. one Judge voted for Lomski,
another voted for Braddock, while Mil
Ter called the match draw with his
deciding vote.
The decision was booed by thousands
OF the fans, most OF whom believed
Lomski to be the winner by a wide
margin, even though he was foored
once. The next day Secretary Walter
George Of the commission examined the
score sheets Of the judges and referee,
the commissions explanation said, and
discovered that while the judges had
totaled their points correctly, Referee
Miller had made a mistake, his tally
sheet showing four rounds for Lomski,
two for Braddock and four even.
Miller was out of the city," added
the commissions statement, 80 moth
ing could be done until his return. AS
soon as he did return he inspected it.
discovered his error and was anxious
to correct 1t.
Thus. the corrected card gives two
votes for Lomski and one for Brad
dock. Hence, Lomski is hereby ruled
