TAKING for granted the practice

is on the up-and-up, nearly
5000 rassle rooters would have
aroused themselves this morning at
the Washington Auditorium II they had
closed their eyes while helping Benny
Bortnick toll of counts on Chief White
Feather.
Washington's rassle colony went
mathematical last night.
Chief White Feather, champion razz-
berry magnet of the D. C. and environs.
has an annoying habit of taking a poke
at his opponent, receiving harder one
in return, and then scurrying under
the ropes and making faces at the audi
ence.
Paul Jones. re Texas Terror, sent
the Chief throu the ropes exactly IL
times last nigh The crowd, for the
frst time, took up mathematics with
Benny Bortnick and chimed in with 90
tolls (the Chief hoped back in at the
count OF nine IL tines), in such rau-
cous and harmonious tones that passef-
bys thought grand opera was being sung
in the Auditorium
Anyway, when he was in the ring.
the Chief took q terrible beating from
Jones, who won the match in so min
utes and a crack at Champion Jim Lon
dos next week. The way in which Jones
wrapped his famous "Stetcher- like" legs
around White Feathers bread-basket
had some OF the fans thinking the date
and place of the opening of the boa
constructor show was last night at the
Auditorium instead of tonight at the
Zoo.
Matros Kirelenko, Russia's what-a-
man, put his head and toes on the can
vas, elevated the rest of his body fully
two feet in the air and invited Milo
Steinborn to jump on his midsection.
Milo did with all of his 215 pounds. But
did Matros cave in? Not a bit. Then
Mister MatroS arose, smiled indulgently
at the broken-hearted German Power
house" and Topped him after 81 min
utes
The crowd got big kick out of
watching Rudy Dusek, who has a chas-
sis built along the lines of a war tank,
tug on Ghafoor Khan's mustachio. It
didn't faze Ghafoor in the least, but a
real, honest-to-goodnes sock in the
Jaw by Rudy'S elbow" all but knocked
Khan out. Rudy won in 1872 minutes
The Bartush-Hagen match was red
hot and minus artificial antics. It was
a draw
Floyd Marshall won a dull match
from George Hill in Is minutes, and AL
Baksh tossed Jack Olsen in 11h.

REALLY ENJOYING
PLAY, SAYS BOBBY

Has No Championships
to Bother Him.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

- HCAGO, February 27.-"T
am really enjoying golf
~ again." said Bobby Jones
today. The incompatible
Georgian is here to receive the
James E. Sullivan medal-annual-
ly awarded the greatest amateur
athlete-from the A. A. U. before
starting to California, where he
will make a series of instructive
motion pictures.
There is more real fun in playing
as member Of friendly foursome than
ever can be found in championship
match. 1t is a real relief to be able
to miss 4-foot putt and laugh about
1t. 1 have been playing golf two or
three times a week all Winter over
East Lake, in Atlanta, with my dad and
close friends. What Joy 1t has been.
I'VE play for Is cents Nassau and
when hit real good shot throw
back my shoulders and give . real
cheer for myself. You could not do
that in championship.
Game Real Joy.
Golf is becoming a real Joy once
more and / am happy that I do not
have to think about playing in cham
pionships any more.
II am doing a lot of experimenting
every time 60 out to play. A few
days ago used steel-shafted clubs.
You know I always have stuck to
wooden shafts-sort Of grew up with
them. The steel certainly felt odd the
first time. 1t is a lot of enjoyment
to feel that you can try new ideas when
playing. So long as I was in cham
pionship golf could not afford to do
that.
81 have been playing considerable
golf all Winter. I sort Of felt 1t was
necessary to keep in trim so I could
hit shots well when making my motion
that Is 10 pounds below my regular
Winter weight. But us motion picture
people must always be willing to sacri-
flee for our art.
IT am going to enjoy a lot Of golf
this Summer. If can so arrange
it expect to take in several of the
more important tournaments. And /
am going to have a lot of fun watching
the other fellows strive and struggle
"AAAO 1OAAO" bAACAA 1AOu11Qs
Has No Regrets.
'No. I do not regret having retired
from championship play I enjoyed 1t
while it lasted. But am through and
will not be like pensioned fire horse
when the bell rings I viii not feel
the urge to get back into competition.
From here on golf Is just game for
me, the same as 1t Is for any duffer."
Bob will receive the Sullivan medal
Thursday night before an assenblage
of 500 people. Avery Brundage, presi-
dent Of the A. A. u, win present this
lasting token Of sportsmanship and
skill. H. H. Ramsay, president OF the
U. S. @. A., also win be one Of the
speakers.
Jones and his party will leave for
Los Angeles Friday morning. Upon his
arrival in California Bobby will imme-
diately launch upon his motion picture
work and that will engage him for two
months.
But after that golf viii be fun again
just fun playing over the East Lake
course with dad and his pals.
And you can have your champion
ships and all that goes with them. Bob
Jones has just learned golf Is O game
