THE SPORTLICHT
by CRANTLAND RICE

The odds in golf are much heavier
against any one individual. There are
Just about six men who can win the
next tennis title-Shields, Perry, Doeg,
Vines. Wood and maybe one more.
There are Just about 20 or Is who
can win the next golf championship
with Bobby Jones missing. How many
Iye-e betting last September that Char
ley Seaver and Gene Romans would
battle it out to meet Jones in the fnal
There may be two almost unknowns
In the final-one at least. There Is
no dominating golfer left on the anna
teur side-and none on the pro side.
When you figure the important pro
Journeys of the last IL months, the
winners included John Golden, George
Won Elm, Ed Dudley, Tommy Armour,
Gene Sarazen, Mac Smith, Walter Ha-
gen, Billy Burke, Horton Smith and
one or two more. Out of the $50 who
will start at Beverly almost any one
of 20 might slip through.
Tennis form runs truer to consistent
effort. If A is better than B at tennis,
will nearly always win. This doesn't
follow in golf, especially over an 1S-
hole stretch Both championships, how
ever, will carry unusual interest since
both are so wide open.
T Unless some form Of collapse sets
~ in, Bob Grove of the Athletics
should set up the greatest pitch
ing average ever known. He has been
working steadily and yet has lost only
, two games since the first gun was fred
last April. He still has some remark
able figures to beat, but it appears he
is on his way to 80 victories and should
get there under wraps unless Connie
decides TO let him loaf bit in prepara-
ton for the next world series.
The terrific heat has made this q
tough Summer for consistency. but the
tall and willowy lefthander moves
without break along the open road,
moving them all down.

-BY FRANK B. WALKER

new international trophy, accord
ing to the Cincinnati Inquirer, has been
offered by Samuel insult to take the
place Of the one won by London this
year and for which q Washington team
played two draws.
Among the conditions are that the
opponents are to be teams representing
the United States and any other coun-
try with which the United States main
tains diplomatic relations. The num-
Der of players has been increased to
10 per side and the playing time to q
minimum of one and olle-half days and
a maximum Of two days.
N r. Whitaker. who managed the
Washington and Philadelphia teams
and through whose efforts the trophy
has been established, and nine other
players are to act as a committee in
charge to accept challenges, to draw up
rules and submit them to the Interna-
tional Chess Federation. Mr.. insult
has also agreed to donate $500 q year
for three years to help pay the cable
expenses. which are about 5000 q side.

termine who should play r. B. walker
