 When play started today the field was reduced to the low 100 scores and ties, Darkness prevented 2S players from finishing their first round yesterday, making the exact field uncertain. At the end Of the second round today the low 48 scores and ties will be eligible for the final 36 holes Sunday.
 The first actual competition in tournament medal play with the new bigger and lighter golf ball proved that many Of the leading golfers are quite likely to have trouble on the greens until they get more accus- toned to the lighter ball.

Coach George M. Cassidy has appointed James O'Brien and Frank Zaleski co-captains of the 1881 high school football team, it was an- nounced at the school. O'Brien and Zaleski were the two leading candi- dates for the captaincy if an elec- ton was held, but Coach Cassidy, believing that fraternity politics would have great deal 10 do with the election decided to appoint both players as co-captains.
 O'Brien is one of the leading guards in Connecticut high school football circles and has been a giant on the offense and defense for the Hardware City team for the last two years. His work was widely noticed despite the fact that he is a lineman.
 Zaleshi was the first string quar- terback of this seasons team. At the start of the last season, Coach Cassidy announced that Zalesk. would not call the plays from quar- teri ack, but kloiber at halfback would run the team. However, Za- leski showed up so well at practice sessions that Cassidy decided to have him run the team, which he did in capable manner throughout the season.
 O'Brien is the son of Mir. and Mrs. Patrick O'Brien Of North street and Zaleski is the son of MT. and Mrs. Maryan Zaleski of 1o2 Booth street, O'Brien is a member of the Theta Sigma fraternity and Zaleski of Delta Ri.
 Coach Cassidy said in comment ing on the appointments that both boys showed the best spirit possible in giving up their chances for an individual captaincy, and that his move was largely influenced by their cooperative spirit. Any mat ters of dispute between the co-cap- talns will be settled by Coach Cassidy.

.BAER IS BEATEN
 IN FIRST FIGHT
Californian Drops Decision to
 Ernie SChaaf Of Boston

New York, Dec. % tEl-Max Baer, young San Francisco heavyweight has made his New York debut and won all the spells, except victory it. self. The coast puncher dropped a ten round decision to blonde Ernie Schaaf Of Boston in Madison Square Garden last night, but most of the public acclaim went to the loser when the hard-fought battle was over.
 For four rounds Baer waded into his more experienced rival, swing ing damaging rights and lefts that had the Boston lad bit worried. But Schaaf took everything Baer sent his way. wayered at times it is true, but always was ready and willing to core back for more.
 Then Baer tired. His punches lost some of the sting that had given him 24 knockout victories in 27 professional engagements and Schaaf, stabbing away with straight, jolting left hand and ham, mering away with heavy rights, as- sumed command Of the struggle over the last six rounds.
 Schaaf, fighting a sound, intelli. gent but overly battle, had Baer reeling all over the ring in the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds and might have scored knockout had he been able 10 overcome his respect for the dynamite in Baer's right hand.
 Schaaf won the unanimous dcci- sion of the referee and the two judges but { crowd booed the yer dict with great gusto. The Associ- ated Press score card gave Schaaf five rounds and Baer four with one the second--even.
 About 10000 saw the clash. I Schaaf weighed 903 pounds; Baer 200.

TUFFY GRIFF|THS
 ISSUES CHALLENGE
Throws Down Gauntlet to Any
 and All HeayyWei6hts

Chicago, Dec. % UP)-Tuffy Griffiths today issued an open chal- lenge to any and all aspirants to the heavyweight championship in an effort to satisfy his own curiosity as to whether or not he is the worlds best heavyweight.
 Griffith's defi, issued in hopes of winning a place in any elimination program preceding Max Schmeling's first title defense, marks the open ing of a campaign which the 23- year-old Iowan hopes will lead him to the heavy" eight championsip.
 .I may not be the worlds best heavyweight Griffiths told the United Press, but if I'm not l want to find it out now. If l cant reach the top it is time to quit the game.
 Some folks are counting me out of the running because I lost dis puted decision to Striblng, but it was that fight which convinced me l can become champion. I'd al- ways tucked Strib because I liou6iit ilc "do tllo DeoI Illdil III the class.
 Now that I've fought, and I think defeated him, I'm confident l can beat them all. If Madison Square Garden, Chicago Stadium or the boxing commissions want to de- eide the world championship I'll take part in any elimination series, or I'll fight Strlbing, Sharkey. Car nera and all other contenders one after the other to prove my right to a title bout"
 Griffiths. youngest of the current title contanders, has advanced to rating among the first five in less than two years of heavyweight campaigning. He has been fighting for five years, but did not become d heavyweight until 1929.
 Victories over Johnny Risko and Pauline made Tuffy the logical op ponent for Jack Sharkey in Madison Square Gardens championship Griffiths accepted the match and might have advanced to a bout with Schmeling for the title, but Sharkey refused to meet him, turning down a sl00,000 guarantee and declaring he would fight none but Phil Scott.
 Disappointed at his failure to get the Sharkey bout, Griffiths lost in- terest and neglected training. A knockout by Jack Gagnon, an un- known Boston heavy, put him out of the picture temporarily. He came back to beat Gagnon and added an- other victory over Risko.
 A close fight with Stribling at Chicago Stadium a week ago defi- nitely re-esta blished Griffiths as a top-notcher. He entered the ring as a to 1 underdog, but carried the fight 10 Stribling and outboxed the Georgian for the first 8 rounds.
 Stribling won the official decision. but a majority Of the l5,000 specta- tors and many boxing writers dis agreed. The bout was so close that the National Boxing Association, which had announced that the win ner would be recognized as heavy weight champion. withheld that recognition from Stribing.
 With the confidence gained by his against Stribling, generally recognized as the worlds best heavyweight, Griffiths should be- come an improved fighter. His willingness to meet all other con- tenders-whil his rivals refuse to meet any but selected foes-entitlos him to consideration and he cannot be counted out of the title chase until he is defeated decislvely.

STORYTELLING MAY LOSE HIS TITLE
New York Commission May De-
 clare Heavy Throne Vacant

New York, Dec. 20 (CP)-Max Schmeling, heavyweight champion of the world, today stood in danger Of having his title vacated by the New York boxing commission.
 Last Tuesday the commission or dered' the German to agree within l5 days to meet Jack Sharkey in a title bout. Yesterday the commits sion received the following reply from the champion:
 Gentlemen stop Joe Jacobs is now my sole manager and l have just cabled him to go before your body and handle the matter as ne knows what to do stop Regards
 lnasmuch as Jacobs is under sus- pension and thus ineligible to act for the champion. Schmelng's an- sWer was highly unsatisfactory. The commission made no comment On the cablegram, but an official Of the commission told the United Press that Schmeling had better talk English or he will be without q title'
 It is believed that the commission unless Schmeling within Is days agrees to the Sharkey bout. will de clare the Germans title vacated
 Jacobs did not appear before the commission but he has already ex- pressed disapproval of a Schmeling- Sharkey bout until the latter has proved himself the best challenger in the field.
 Should both the commission and Jacobs persist in their present im- passe Schmelng's title may be va cated as far as New York state is concerned but he will be eligible 10 fight as champion in Illinois under the National Boxing association sanction.

"Grecn Goods;" and Educated a
 Collegian.
 Kid Broad. the little Cornish light weight, was the subject Of many startling stories in his day.
 Tom Sharkey told of the St. Patrick's morning when he was in his big New York saloon, all be- decked in green tie. when up drives an express wagon with parcel of shamrocks.
 Boys, they're all fourleafed shamrocks, too, and from me old home in Dundalk Ireland" said Tom, with sentiments shaken voice. And after he stood in silence, ad- hiring the shamrocks, Tom remark ed.
 Boys, let's have a St. Patricks s Day drink on the house; a drink to old 1reland.'
 Glasses were filled. Sharkey laid the shamrocks on the lunch counter as he raised his glass to give toast. When he finished, the sham rocks were gone.
 Kid Broad had wandered in. lie went to the lunch counter, saw the shamrocks. shook salt on them and ate the whole sentimental lot.
 Kid Mccoy, coming to the coast, once had Broad for a travelling com- panon. One morning, he looked up from shaving to sec Broad using the Mccoy toothbrush.
 Hey, Kid" yelled Mccoy, aghast. that's my toothbrush
 "Oh, excuse me. cCoy, l thought it belonged to the railroad com- pany," was Breads apology.
 Don't get,the idea that Kid Broad wasn't a, fast thinker.
 Meeting a young collegian giving a show in a cafe. very free with his money, Broad, who was broke at the time, asked him:
 Say. young fellow, can you let me have a buck?'
 Sure. how much is buck?' was the reply.
 Two dollars,' was Broad's in- stant reply.

CHIP SHOTS
BY ,JIGGER

BY JIGGER
 Golf on small scale may be here to stay for some time yet, but the signs point towards a new develop ment, as the miniatures make but small appeal to the regular golfer.
 The next offering, to those who like the short game, may be the outdoor pitch and putt course. Like the miniatures, fl is not d new form of golf, as such courses have been constructed in various parts of the country.
 When golf moves outdoors next spring, new developments of such courses may be expected as the log ical successor of the pee-wee lay outs. They require more ground for their construction but not so much that they cannot be constructed in Or close to city limits.
 Peter Henderson, the seed man, is something of q golf course con- structlon engineer. and the pitch and putt idea has been advocated by hlnl for some time. Heretofore he saw it's greatest chance of success as an ad- ditional feature of country clubs.
 When called in for consultation in connection with a proposed regular golf course layout, he has made it q practice, before the conference ended, to suggest a short pitch and putt addition.
 His suggestions in this direction have been politely but not enthusi- astically received until recently. Now q little more attention is being paid to the possibilities of the pitch and putt idea.
 But public interest in it will cen- ter in it's development by conner clal enterprise. Such courses might well serve as training ground for the vast number of new golfers who have become interested in the game by play on the miniatures.
 Ii may be too much 10 expect them to graduate at once to the full sized courses, but they would get lot Of good golf practice on x the pitch and putt course. At the same time. the regular golfer would not disdain 10 play them.
 The cnterprising individuals who put such lay-outs in operation as soon as possible next summer are bound to draw plenty of players. Full sized course cannot be con- structed fast enough to take care Of the demand for outdoor golf which will be greater than ever next year.
