Draak, Last Man to Oppose
Gotch, Staging Comeback
in Show Here.

CTACKED alongside Of Jim
Browning, Stranger Lewis
~ and Rudy Dusek, the name
of Tommy Draak means
little these days, but the veteran
Dutchman, who will rassle 0eofgS
Manich in a preliminary on Pro-
moter Joe Turner's toy fund mat
show Friday, was at one time

pier and Snowman.
Draak, who is returning to the mat
after lapse Of two years. during which
time he filled q comedy role In the
musical comedy hit "of Thee I Sing"
was the last man to meet the great
Frank Gotch. He was defeated, but
Draak was no set-up. In fact, he Gre
ated something Of a splash by repelhng
the touted foreigners, Ivan Podubney
and Prince Kobar. Then he defeated
the then formidable Wladek Zbyszko.
won a decision over Joe stecher and
wrestled Stranger Lewis to q two-hour
draw.
Also it was Draak who Is reported to
have convinced big George Godfrey he
wasn't as tough as he might have
thought. During q rassle with Draak.
the big colored heavyweight, so the
story goes, was outclassed. Whereupon
Godfrey Is alleged to have resorted to
fisticuffs, but to the amusement OF all
concerned Draak mixed with Gawge
and scored a clean knock-down which
many declare was the real thing.
Draak's best mat days are behind
him. but he should provide some lively
action leading up to Browning Tiny
Roebuck, Lewis-Jim Clinstock and
Dusek- k-"Masked Marvel" bouts.

Jones Great ON Greens.

MO PUTT is easy. but If you con-
IN slider Bob Jones' record, studded
with lengthy puts to win and tie
Tor national championships, the magic
that lay In the lazy putting stroke of
the stubby Georgian gives the key to
his success. Only once did Jones miss
a short putt in big-time competition
with a. championship hanging in the
balance. That came in the first cham
pionship he won-at Inwood-back in
1928. x
Going to the home hole, Jones needed
a 4 to win with stroke or two to spare.
He played his iron second well over the
water, but 1t wound up back of shall
chains to guard the green. The post
was pulled up, and Jones dumped a wee
pitch into the bunker. A blast left his
bah three feet from the cup and he
missed, going into tie with Bob
Cruickshank, who came along q half
hour later TO hole an 6-footer to tie.
Jones won In the play-on the following
day.
But In 1928 Jones and John Farrell.
were locked in head-to-head struggle
for the national open at Olympia
Fields, in another of the play-offs which
dotted the Jones career. Farrell led by
single stroke going to the thirty fifth
hole and when he flung spade nashie
shot three feet from the cup, with
Jones lying 80 feet away, the Georgian
looked like a licked man. Yet Bob
stepped up and holed IL.
The following year, after Jones had
butchered the eighth hole at Winged
Foot for Z, he came to the last hole
with 12-footer to tie Al Espinosa. He
holed it and went on to win the play
OF by the colossal margin of 23 strokes
Jones came to the home hole in 1880
at Interlachen with to win by a
single stroke. Back of him. out in front
Of huge gallery, came Macdonald
Smith. laundering along on the heels
of the Albanian. Three puts and
Smith would tie. But Jones holed a
45-footer for bird 8 to win by two
shots.
Only once did Jones miss a wee one
when . championship hung in the bal
ance on the last few holes. He won his
13 major titles by the magic that lay
in the blade Of Calamity Jane. The
others missed EN-, but Jones didn't.
Therein lay the difference.

Armour's Slip Costly.

TOMMY ARMoUR's stunt in the
Canadian open Of 1929 never will
be forgotten by the Armour clan,
for the Black Scot took three puts from
distance Of few inches It cost him
the Canadian open championship, for
it placed him in tie with that marvel
OF accuracy Of a decade and a half ago
the fated j. Douglas Edgar-and
Charles Murray. Edgar won the play
of on day when his hands felt thin, I"
when he controlled the ball like no man
has since been able to do, playing called
hooks and slices and making it do his
win like live thing obeying its master.
Tommy had played his approach putt
to within inches of the cup. A stab
and the ball ran around the hole. An
Cher stab and it jumped across the cup.
A settling down to the putt, a careful
stroke and the ball finally was holed.
That is why the Tommy Armour of to-
day. who has won every important title
in the world and Is one of the ranking
professional golfers of all time, care
fully studies and tries for every putt, no
matter how short it may be-
That is why no putt is concedable in

competition. Any putt can be missed,
no matter how short 1t may be. And by
way of contrast, consider the steel
nerved Armour. whose tron-ribbon forti-
tude enabled him to hole Q 12-footer to
tie Harry C,oper for the United States
open at Oakmont IN 1927, and 60 on to
win the championship In the pia1-of
the following day, turning back the
challenge Of the cocky Cooper by sling
Ing niblick shot within 3 inches of the
cup on the seventeenth with Cooper
ball lying only inches away.
Tommy didn't miss that 3-incher. He
had learned his lesson in Canada, and
he took as much time on that 3-inches
As he had taken on the 12-footer the
previous day to tie.

SLEEP MAEADY
 NOT CAUSED BY
 BITE TSETSE FLY

NEW YORK, Sept. 12. It is 221 years since the sleeping sickness, epidemic encephalitis, was first re- corded; and Is years since an all most divide search for it's cause was begun.
 But as doctors in St. Louis and vicinity watched the mounting toll of deaths, the cause was still un- known, although guessed at. The general medical guess aScribes this infection to a non- -filterable virus, one of those living disease organ isms too small to be caught in fil- terS, or seen under microscopes. This epidemic" sleeping sickness is not clasSed as the same illness which is spread by the bite of the tsetse fly.
 The form in midwest is due to infection in the central nervous system. The attack centers in var ious parts of the brain and of the brain coverings, the meninges, and of the spinal cord.
 Stupor resembling sleep results and gives the illness it's common name. The onset is sudden. Some times the lethargy is accompanied by distortion of vision, at others by delerium and terror. The symp- tons are likely to be widely diff ferent in different outbreaks. The cases in one epidemic may be mostly similar, only to vary with the next appearance.
