HAWKS RESPECT.
MARION ELEVEN:

Still thinking about the great
game the Alexandria Fraters
played against them last Sunday,
the MohawkS highly respect the
Marions, undefeated champions
of the unlimited section of the
Independent League, who will be
met Sunday afternoon at 2:30
O'Clock in Griffith Stadium.
Coach Artie Wondrack of the
Hawks, has his boys working
hard for the contest. He claims
that the Hawks played poor
football in spots. last week. In
the practice sessions Wondrack
has been endeavoring to smooth
out the rough places:
Both teams hail from Southeast
Washington where many famous
elevens originated. Reports are
that the majority Of the residents
Of Southeast are backing the Ma
rions to dispose of the Hawks.
The MarionS have one of the
finest defensive elevens seen
around this section for a long
time but are not UP to the Hawks
standard on the offensive end.
The MarionS don't possess such
elusive backs as Dick Allen and
"Pepco" Barry.

One Of the well-known football
teams which has been working
out on the courts is none other
than the Mercurys. They have
some formidable talent in Jackie
Lewis, Dick Keefer and others OF
that high caliber.
The Staunch followers Of anna

happy to know that the Sholl's
Cafemen who won the unlimited
court championship under the
Saks Clothiers, are out to retain
their laurels.
Added New Stars
Despite their strong team last
year the Shollmen have added
several stars in Joe CroSon, for

Eastern High School some time
back and a brother of Sam Hook
who also is a member Of the
five; Bernie Leib, another former
EaSternite, and Joe Robey, also
an ex-Eastern player.
Although the Saks changed
their name to Sholl'S Cafemen
they have not lost any of their

P.G.A.Head

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-The birth
at Coral Gables, Fla, of the Tour
nament Golfers Association pre-
cipitated q confused welter OF
assertions and counter-assertions
in links circles today.
At Coral Gables, Robert E. Har'
low. manager of the infant asso,
citation, stoutly denied that the
score of stars, comprising the
charter membership, aim to
secede from the Professional
Golfers Association.
In Chicago, Albert r. Gates,
P. G. A. business manager, family
approved Of the new organization
in one breath and in the next
sounded a note of regret over its
formation. He charged that Har.
low was the guiding light of the
Tournament Golfers Association
and that his failure to recover his
former job as P. G.. A. tourna-
ment bureau director inspired him
to establish the trump organiza.
tion." Gates said that Harlow
''has lured many of the best
golfers into an independent tour
nament bureau"
Naturally" remarked the p.
G. A. business manager, I'VE be-
Eeve it is better to have all golf
tournaments involving prOfes-
siOnals under one jurisdiction to
eliminate confusion. That's why
we have the P. G. A. tOurna-
ment bureau. But, if Harlow
and the boys can promote some
tournaments in these times, I'll
be tickled. The money players
need what they can get"
Gates pointed out that "prize
money of tournaments. has fallen
from the boom years of $90,OOe
seasons to around $4,000 this sea
son, and that isn't bad at ALL
This years estimated prize total
represents an approximate de
crease of $4,000 from last winter

[0NDOS MATCH
AROUSES FANS

Wrestling's greatest crowd
pleaser, Jimmy Londos, makes
another call here tomorrow night,
being scheduled to wrap arms
with that italian gladiator, Gino
Garibaldi, at the Washington
Auditorium. With the horse rae
ing season IN nearby Maryland
ended and the football fever
dwindling, Promoter Joe Turner's
office reports a heavy pickup in
the advance sale.
Ordinarily, any appearance Of
Londos is the signal for increased
interest among local wrestling
fans, but an extra amount is at
tached to his meeting with Carl
baldi. The latter, truly a blue
ribbon mailman, is capable of
thoroughly testing the foxey
Greek. Londos has been parading
about the country as wrestling's
emperor for over two years, but
someone is going to unseat him
before long.
Another contest that should
take rank with the headliner il.
wolves Jim Mcmillan and Everett
Marshall, who hail from West Of
the Mississippi. Mcmillan was
among the first college footballers
who stepped into wrestling and
he was an instant success. Mar

A Very Sturdy Sport

Football is not a cream-puff
sport. AS long as any consider
able number of boys and young
men go in for it there will be
a, small-very sma!l-percentage
Of deaths.
The wonder to the average
spectator who sees the teams
pile up and charge and tackle
from Saturday to Saturday is
that the hospital and morgue
list isn't actually greater than
it appears.
AS a matter of truth, the hos
pital list is much larger than
seems on the surface, for hun
dreds Of injuries are never
tabulated, it being preferred for
obvious reasons not to give
them too great publicity. But
the actual deaths are very diff
ficult, if not impossible to
mask, and tell grim story Of
sacrifice, not only by the sew
eral victims, but by their
parents as we'll.
: And again, this seasons end,
the old question arises as to
whether football is worth the
candle. The answer is entirely
q matter of individual view
point. If you are a parent or
a relative or a close friend Of
one of the victims, you do not
believe all of the Saturday
afternoons hours of enjoyment
is worth the life of someone
close or dear to you.

D! c. Golf Pros Hold Revolt ofLeaders Futile
CHOICE GROUP!
WON'T LAST,
. IS BELIEF
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEOhGE A. SlMFSON
Opinion among local golf pro-
fessionals holds that the group of
20 or 80 tourists" who bolted
the Professional Golfers Associa-
ton will not succeed in their
aims. There are two classes of
pros, the playing and teaching.
The playing pro makes the tour
nament round while the teaching
pro stays at his club to give les
sons and compete against brother
pros in his own district. Occa-
sionally this teaching pro enters,
an open tournament.
These rebellionists, local pros
point out, formed their own
clique in order to make greater
money demands in the open tour
naments which the depression has
cut in half. Those tournaments
which have been kept on the
books have been materially re-
duced in their money values.
The touring" pros, seeking
some salvation. decided the best
method was organizing their own
union. Thus, with the big shots
gathered under their banner, they
reasoned they could make de-
mands upon the sponsors OF the
open tournaments.
Harlow As Spokesman
Their spokesman will be Rob-
ert E. Harlow, ousted manager
of the P. G. A. tournament bu-
reau. Harlow, as every golfer
knows, has managed the affairs
of Walter Hagen and Horton
Smith for several years and has
also scheduled exhibition matches
for many other leading pros. No
one has closer contact with the
pros than Harlow.
It was Harlow who arranged
to have most of the topnotch
pros compete in the National
Open at the Kenwood Country
Club.
NCNCA CAACACoo, AZ Woo OASAAA ANc"AA"
on the same day that the tour
lists" formed their own body with
Harlow as their contact man,
George r. Jacobus, president Of
the n. Ga "a, announced that
Francis Powers had been retained
as manager of the P. G. A. tour
nament bureau.
Only Small Minority
The touring" pro constitutes
small minority Of the P. G. A.,
and it is certain the P. G. A.
won't dissolve merely because the
big wigs have severed their alle-
glance. Indeed, it is felt the boil
ters will return like prodigals.
One local pro. who wants his
name withheld, hits the nail on
the head with the following state
ment:
"The action Of Hagen, Sara
zen and the others won't mean
much after these youngsters,
just coming to the front, take
their places. You know, Hagen
and others must bow to Old-age
some day."
