NEW YORK, January 2e R.-It
may be old stuff to say "the bigger they
are the harder they fall" but ask the
Montreal Maroons
For more than half the National
Hockey League season the Toronto
Maple Leafs were the big" team. But
the fall came last night, and when the
smoke had cleared away the Maroons
were on top by 60 count.
Not only was it the worst beating of
the six Toronto has encountered so far
and only the third shut-out the Leafs
have met, but they looked almost as
bad in defeat as they were good in
victory.
The only result of this upset was to
draw the third-place Maroons closer
to the Second-place Canadlens, who
lost 81 overtime decision in Chicago
The big changes came in the Ameri-
can section, where the New York Ran
gers, victorious over Ottawa's last-place
Senators by a 6-3 count, took the un-
disputed lead. with the Detroit Red
Wings and Chicago Blackhawks trail

ROSS NOW IS EAGER

~ Ross. the lightweight champion
of the world, who gained a clean
cut victory over Billy Petrolle In an
over-the- weight contest on Wednesday
night, now is eager to meet Jimmy Nc
Larnin for the worlds welterweight
title.
The manner in which the Chicago
battler showed his superiority over the
Fargo Express impressed his managers,
Sam Plan and Art Winch, so much that
they announced they are willing to
guarantee McLarnin $35,000 to defend
his title against Ross here in May or
June. The bout, if conducted. will
probably be staged for the benefit OF

his welterweight champion and Barney
Ross, lightweight titleholder.
But the manager of the scrapping
welterweight wants to be sure he and
Jimmy get their share Of the purse.
He indicated a s35,000 guarantee

be 5000 900 or better.

better clippers and putters to be

for improvement in golf that is
worth considering these days OF

"Hit the ball past the hole. Hit It 20
1t will at least reach the cup. Be sure
to be up and you will be surprised how
many times 1t will fall in," Davie says.
The idea Is not particularly new, but
1t Is well worth polishing up and trotting
out as a Winter maxim for the game.
so many times you will see a ball hit
perfectly straight for the cup and stop
an inch short" says the little Scot from
the Washington club. 1T might as
well be three feet past for all the good
1t does. I never have seen a hole move
toward ball. The ball must move TO-
ward the hole. And 1t will do every
golfer q lot Of good these days of slow
greens II he will make up his mind to
be past the hole with every shot that is
holeable.

IN Thomsons Judgment, to hit

putt from two feet beyond the cup
any harder than one two feet si1ort?"
And when you have given the ball
chance to hole, you at least have done
all you could do short of holing it,"
Davie himself is one of the bolder and
better putters among the pros around
Washington. He hits the pill q rap
straight for the middle of the cup and
you'll seldom find him short. He holes
a good many Of 'em, too, by his own
philosophy Of always being up to or
past the hole. On his good days he is
one Of the finest putters we ever have
seen. Thirty and even 40-foot puts
rattle into the tin from the putting
blade Of the Washington Scot, when the
green's are good and true, and the day
when he does not can" q long one is
bad day for Davie. It's all because
he believes in practicing his own
teaching.

Be short and you will regret it." Davie

While there may be one or two cham

unencountered by zarynoff, the bald
pated Bostonian is well qualified to
speak for the two title le-claimin' Jims,
Browning and Londos.
Subdued by Browning here little
over a month ago after 50 minutes.
Zarynoff received his second cham

night at the Washington Auditorium
before a crowd of 1000 and was found
wanting The Greek. making his first
appearance here in many months, tossed
stray seconds. beating Brownings time
by some S minutes, If that means any
thing.
S EXPECTED, Londos' superior
~ strength and ruggedness was the
telling factor. While he lasted,
Zarynoff gained at least an even break
as far as doling out punishment was
concerned, but, duplicating Brownings
performance. Londos wore down the
veteran Ukrainian.
One Of the quickest and most skill
full of the heavyweight GROWERS now in
practice. Londos was hard put to show
to advantage in the early going. so
speedy was Zarynoff. The winning
hold. as usual in matches involving
Londos. was an airplane spin, followed
by body slam.
Dick shikat, who held title claims
until pinned by Eondos in 1880, gained
a 27-minute fall over George Manich in
the semi windup. AS in the main event,
Shikats skill and science told In the
end.
THOUGH he failed to chalk up an
other victory, 20-year-old Vic
Christy kept his local mat slate
unmarried in his 30-minute bout with
Ernie Dusek. They went to speedy
draw following the Londos- -Zarynof
match, which was moved up next to
last on the program.
Paul Boesch, another promising
youngstoT, and Vauka Zelesniak were
winners In the other bouts. Bosch was
too fast for Scotty McDougsll, veteran
Scotch heavyweight, and threw him
after 81 minutes. Zelesniak found
rough going against huge Jim Clin-
stock, but was awarded the decision
after 19 minutes when Clinstock was
disqualified.
Aiding in the downfall of Clinstock
was Zelesniak's black beard, which ap-
peared to offer a temptation too strong
for Clinstock to resist. The whiskers

Majority Of Puts Short,

GUESS something like rs per cent
OF all shots hit toward the green
or toward the cup are short" he
adds. "On the long shots to the ereen
they are usually well short Of the OBJ
Jective, and many puts that might
wobble into the hole are a few inches
snort OF the goal And I don't know of
anything more discouraging than 70
miss few puts which hang right on
the up OF the cup. Be up and YOU
won't be sorry. Be short and you viii
have regrets. This applies to a chin. a
snort pitch or short putt"
LIS q peculiar human psychology.
Dave points out, that keeps many bsils
snort o. the hole on the chip or long
putt. "Of course, every golfer tries 10
mole every shot that is holeable. but M
many times the ball is short a few
inches or q few feet when those few
inches or few feet might mark the dif-
hole - Ao'Ais 'ne
Even many Of the better golfers are
hole-shy," which is a golfing phrase
that means short" And being short is
one OF the cardinal sins among eood
golfers. Naturally a ball that barely
rolls up to the lip of the cup and lobs
over mas more chance to 60 in than
one which would run two feet past. But
few players have the skill to Judge the
green accurately enough to lob EN- over
the lip of the cup.
