MAX WON'T BATTLE
MICKEY AFTER ALL
Miami Bout Dropped After
Financial Survey Made
by Jacobs Partner.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 14.-After
N tantalizing the public for a
couple of weeks with disputed
contracts, muddled arrange
ments and delays for no apparent rea-
son, the f1stic arrangers who were pro-
noting the Max Schmeling- Mickey
Walker fight, scheduled for Miami, Fla
February Is, finally have decided to call
the whole affair off.
Joe Jacobs, manager of the heavy
weight champion, explained that a re-
port from his partner, Billy Mccartney,
now in Florida, advised him there
wasn't enough loose money in Miami to
make it worth while.
The decision, made public late yester-
day, came as a distinct surprise. 1t had
been announced only few hours
earlier that a tangle in one clause of
the contracts had given cause for fur
Their arguments and an indefinite post
ponement of the signing.
Spurn $4,000 Pickup.
Jacobs explained that Mccartney, who
originally had gone South to locate
training quarters for schmeling, had
sent back highly unfavorable reports of
the financial situation at Miami. The
gate" which had been estimated at
upward of 100000, would not exceed
half that amount, Mccartney reported
and, after talking over the situation
with Schmeling, Jacobs decided that a
40 per cent cut in 100000 would not be
enough.
Jacobs mentioned Chicago, Los
Angeles. Atlantic City and Philadelphia
as possible sites for title bout but
only if a suitable guarantee were made
He explained that the champion took
in $4,000 in four exhibitions last week
and that such program would be far
more profitable than taking a $4,000
cut from Miami fight.
"Schmeling will box Walker or
Sharkey or Dempsey or anybody else
in the world for money" the manager
concluded, but we must be guaranteed
we will get the money"

1t was that of big Fred Morrison,

I'm a swell mudder," he admitted.
And it can rain the rest Of the week"
But Morrison must stick to his game
if he hopes to collect top money of
$4,000, for swapping at his heels came
a pack of six others with par or better.
One hook or slice or missed putt, as
the case may be, behind Fred were

|GAME NOW EXCELS
| EFFORT IN 81 OPEN
Greatest Improvement Is in
Driving-George Is Fit
Physically. "
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

T. OS ANGELES, Calf, January
14.-It will require lot of
IL golf to beat George Won Elm
in any championship in
which the businessman player
may compete this year. If any
thing, George is playing much
better than last Summer, when
he tied for the national open
championship and then lost to
Bill Burke in the historic play-off.
The most noticeable improvement in
Won Elms play Is from the tee. He
has heightened his shots tremendously
and in q recent tournament at Santa
Monica was putting his drives well
out in front of some of the most IA
nous hitters in the game. The new
ball has at least added yards to Won
Elm's shots If 1t does not satisfy the
rank and file of professionals.
In Good Trim Now.
At luncheon recently the writer
asked Won Elm the main reason for the
improvement in his game since he quit
the amateur ranks to play for cash.
Better. health and freedom of mind"
replied George. For several years
was under par physically and burned
out in the heat of competition, and
also was constantly on nervous edge.
Now I am feeling fine and getting real
fun as we'll as profit out of the game. Z"
Won Elm has been a top-ranker in
all of the current Winter tournaments,
but his best display of shot making
was in the final round of the Santa
Monica tournament, which he won.
Harry Cooper is another whose game
is showing big improvement this
Winter. Cooper has not been at his
best since 1926 and 1927, when he won
the Los Angeles open and tied for the
national championship at Pittsburgh,
Over the intervening years Harry has
been a nervous, f1dgety sort of player
who often beat himself.
This Winter he appears to have
attained better nerve control and his
game has been helped. There are few
professionals who can better hold the
ball to a straight line than Cooper
and with an improvement of his play
on the greens, Light Horse Is moving
back with the front-rank stars.
The way in which Won Elm, Cooper
and Witty Cox are playing this Winter
presages another wild open champion
ship when the big stars start after the
national title next June. The 1881

Chances that Equipoise, who went

OF the Blue Grass classic.
Since then the big bay son of Pen

casual visitor he appears fit and ready
for another crack at Twenty Grand or

In his stall, however, he favors his
injured foot, shifting his weight off it
constantly. Trainer Tom Healy is hope
full Of getting him to the races, but is

Pointers on Golf

Watch a good golfer like Hagen
or Harry Cooper drive. AS he ad-
dresses the ball you will note that
his left elbow points toward the hole
he is stroking the ball to. This is a
common point with all expert golf
ers.
Undoubtedly you will note the
same point in putting. Take Oui-
met, Mitchell, Jones, or any OF the
stars and when they putt their left
elbows point toward the cup.
The reason for this common point
in golf is mechanical. In driving 1t
prevents the straight left arm bend
