hit fine tee shot far up the middle,
and so did Jones and Mackenzie. The
latter dumped his second shot into a
bunker at the left, however and Smith,
playing from a bad lie, half missed his
shot. Jones, the impeccable, put his
shot on the carpet. Both Smith and

Then first Mcleod and Smith both

night on the electric Lighted courts on

tinue until the metropolitan champion

The title was won last year by David

to match Baylor's performance of 1929.
With West will be Sergt. Angus Hayes,
Ceola Frazier and Oliver Hartgroves.
Hayes is a polished horseshoe pitcher
and will not surprise none If he cap
tured the crown 1t is only question
of stamina with Hayes. If he can
stand the Furnishing 50-point games he
should beat the field.
All four of the invaders are expert
tossers. Bullock and Marshall of Vir-

Franklin Marshall and Peter Harris,

many ringers. Both stand out with the
best the District can offer Marshall

mean lot to him. In the last game

N. B. A. TAKES STEP
TOCONTROL BOXING
Bars Those in on-Member
States From Bouts in
Member Territory.

BY the Associated Press.
~ MAHA, Nebr., September IL
The National Boxing Associa-
ton moved to gain control of
the boxing industry in the
United States yesterday by barring box
ers in bouts in non-member states from
participating in member States.
This action was taken by the adop-
ton of a resolution as the annual con-
vention drew to close, Stanley M.
Isaacs of Cincinnati, retiring president,
revealed.
The resolution reads in effect:
After January l any boxer who
performs in New York, California,
Pennsylvania or Massachusetts, mot
members of the N. B. Al will not be
used in the N. B. A. States
1t was the consensus among delegates
that open warfare would be averted
through those States not now men,
bers of the N B. A. joining hands
with the association States.
On Its last day the convention also
decided to divorce wrestling and box
ing. This decision was followed by the
organization of a National wrestling
Association. with headquarters in New
Orleans and with Col. Harry ]. Landry
Of Mississippi as president.
In electing the N. B. A. heads, the
association selected John v. Clinnin,
chairman of the Illinois Boxing Com
mission, as president to succeed Issaacs.
Following the election the N. B. A.
voted to establish permanent head
quarters in Chicago and instructed
Clinnin to organize a working force
with full-time secretary.
With the selection of Detroit as the
1891 convention city the delegates ended
the 1880 session.
