PRESTWICK, Scotland, May 26.
The next time you read an article
in which Americas pampering OF
amateur sports stars is condemned
and Great Britain is praised for the
sensible and highly ethical manner
in which it handles the amateur
problem, do not hesitate to sound
a loud laugh.
For you may take 1t from me
that, regardless of how well prowess
in sports pays IN the United States
the dividends are not one bit more
elegant than in Britain. The Brit
ish amateurs have a reputation for
extreme holiness, but it's a trifle
exaggerated.
Take the international cricket
players, for example. Australia has
team of 16 here now to contest
for the hallowed "ashs." The men,
hers of the team all amateurs in
good standing, left home in March.
They will not return until October.
In addition to having every cent Of
their expenses paid, each player
was handed, upon leaving Austria
liza, a spending money" check for
$50 pounds, which in our money,
is around $4,000.
That's pretty fair spending mon
ey." But that's not all At the end

great for him. He had eliminated
five Walker Cup players, two Amer

the final.
Enormous crowds followed to-

derly, in spite of the fact their
hero was taking an unmerciful
drubbing. Extra contingents of po-

of the tour, those players whose
conduct has been in keeping with
the gentlemen's code, will receive
bonus of around thousand dol
lars. Those players who have
broken training on the trip will re-
ceive a smaller bonus, as it is the
power of the team captain to fine
offenders.
When an English team goes to
Australia the members receive the
same liberal allowance. This is
quite contrast to the financial
backing given our Walker cup team.
The cup players were placed in the
smallest cabins on the boat and
were allowed but $3.50 with which
to pay all their living expenses at
st. Andrews and Prestwick, fact
which forced several into such vices
as poker and blackjack.
English tennis players roam
around just as much as ours, too.
And, like ours, they travel at the
various clubs expense. And unlike
in America, the British athletic aces
go in heavy for Journalistic work.
Diana Fishwick, for example, is the
chief golf writer of a London morn
ing paper, and there is the chance
that her victory in the open cham
pionship a few years back, and the
fact that she still is a ranking play
er, helped get her the job.

Lawson Little of San Francisco
became British amateur golf
champion this afternoon by over
whelming James Wallace, Scot
land. in the SO hole final
The score was IA to 13
The British amateur cup thus
goes overseas for the fourth time
in the As times for which it has
been played.
Walter Travis, Australian born
but living in America, took it to
the United States in 1904. Jess
Sweetser, although i'll, won it for
America in 1926 and Bobby Jones
added it, temporarily, to his COL
lection in 1880.
In today's final, The young SIN
Franciscan, who learned his go,t
10 China, swept through each sue
cessive hole like the wind sweep
ing the Scottish Moors. Six up
after the first nine, Little increased
his lead to IL up at the end Of
the morning round.
Standing 13 up after 81 holes
had been played, Little won the
twenty-second with a birdie three
to be in the impregnable position
of dormie fourteen.
His card for the morning round
showed only 66 strokes, five under
par and three under Macdonald
Smiths record for the course.
He had three brides on the five

and county women's champion,
added the Southern California
women's title to her trophy collec-
ton yesterday after routing Mrs.
Kenneth Carter of Los Angeles, 4
ana 2, in a finals match.
Neither displayed the stellar game
exhibited in earlier rounds but Miss
Luscomb was a bit more steady
than her opponent. She netted
more yardage from her drives and
her shorter game was superior at
most junctures of the match. She
was two up at the end of 18 holes
and three up at the 9th.

do anything with his Shiftier and
more clever opponent.
In the other eight round main
event Art Mccullough. local heavy
weight who has won his last three
! fights here by the knockout route,
proved to everyone interested that
he can take it as well as dish it
out. He won an eight round YER
dict over Sal Salvador, Whittier
Mexican heavyweight, who gave
Mccullough plenty of opportunity
to defend himself during the bout,
Salvador Good
The Whittier heavyweight had a
10 pound advantage in weight
over Mccullough and in addition to
this he was fast and slowed Art
up several times with rights to the
head that carried sting and punish
ment with them. His habit of hold
ing during the clincheS told against
him and had much to do in losing
the decision.
Both boys were very fast for
big fellows and put on very good
fight throughout. They have been
rematched over the ten round
route for next Friday night and
fans who missed last nights setto
should make it a point to be on
next this coming Friday as the
match will be we'll worth attend
ing.
Willie Davis. Negro stablemate
of Wright. lost to Bobby Leyvas
by a knockout In the second round
of their scheduled eight round
preliminary. Davis looked very good
at the opening of the argument
and had fans believing that he
would take Bobby for the works
before the fight got much older.
Leyvas found it difficult to get
in close to his rangier opponent
but in the second stanza he got
his range and then started the fire
works.
Shortly after the opening OF
this round he caught Davis on the
chin and the colored boy went
down for a nine count. He came
up wobbly and another punch put
him down again. He staggered to
his feet only to meet another of
Bobby's rights and this time he
stayed down to take the full count.
Following the main event be-
tween Chalkie Wright and Frank
lie Venegas the management put on
a special between Obie Miller and
Reno Fernandez. This could hard
" be called a fight, however, as
Reno started right in and be-
fore anyone knew exactly what had
happened, Obie was stretched out
full length on the canvas.
The count although gone through
with because the rules demand
it was totally unnecessary as Obie
never heard it and had to be car
ried to his corner still out COM
pletely. Remo's right was too much
for the colored boy.
A very large crowd attended the
fights.

OPEN FIGHT
FOR |C IA
TITLE TODAY
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

PHILADELPHIA May IS. - A
wide open fight for the I. c. A
title irnpended today as America S
collegiate track and field stars met
in the second days competition.
Friday qualification tests turned
the meet into four sided competi-
ton. Stanford was favored to make
it 10 straight for west coast ag-
gregation. while Harvard and Yale
were rated on nearly even terms
as the eastern teams having an at
least equal chance of ending the far
western hold on the title.
CALIFORNIA; five man squad was
a dark-horse possibility. The Sc
lect Berkeley squad was given a
distinct chance of scoring five firsts,
four of which would be twin indivi-
dual triumphS.
The form sheet took terrific
jolting yesterday. Hardly had Sam
KlopStock of Stanford, the favorite.
been eliminated from the high
hurdles when Dick Hardy of Cor
nell. the defending champion, was
scored as an also-ran in the 100
meter.
Klopstock, however, was still a
favorite in the low hurdles, but it's
probable that he will have fight
to win the low timber event over
Dick Cole of California, possible
double winner. Kiesel of California
is expected to win both dashes.
Hardly had the last spiked shoe
left the track last night when as
phalt burners were brought on to
the track. Throughout the night
the scorching heat of the burners
were applied but even If the rains
of Friday and Friday night subside
only a minor miracle could supply
a track fast enough to threaten
even I. c. "A meet records.

Kirkpatrick Of Ell Centre is fav-
ored to win both hurdle events cas-

tition.
Glendale entered a high jumper

see a. smooth, easily-functioning
lighting machine in action as he
cut frankie Venegas to pieces in
the eight round main event at
tie local arena.
Seconds for Frankie threw in the
towel in the fifth round as it was
evident that he was no match for
the coast featherweight king.
From the opening bell of this
fight there was little doubt as to
how it would end. Chalkie moved
about the ring with an ease and
speed that was battling To him
1t seemed no effort at all to ward
off Frankie's futile blows and then
Slip in with short left and right
uppercuts which had Venegas' face
a mass of blood.
AS the fight progressed Venegas
appeared more and more at
disadvantage as his clever oppon-
ent stepped in to deliver the short,
choppy punches which did not
travel any distance at all but
carried with them plenty of power
and literally cut Frankie to pieces.
1t appeared that at almost any
moment Wright could have ended
the affair and probably would
have done so in the sixth stanza
If the fight had not been stopped
in the previous round.
Venegas would have made better
showing against any other oppon-
ent as he put on some real fights
here but last night he was just

The Los Angeles Angels. gallop-
ing toward a second pennant like
firehorses answering an alarm, had
their eighth straight series of the
season and their oath straight since
last June won today through their
success over the San Francisco
Seals.
The Angels started their streak
in the drive which brought them
the 1888 championship. They took
up this year where they left off
last fall and dropped every oppon-
ent that faced them. The Seals
were the last. Earlier in campaign
the San Franciscans were counted
upon to give Los Angeles a battle
but they folded up completely this
week.
Los Angeles made certain of the
series by winning their fourth
straight game yesterday. The score
was 7-3. with three Seals mounds
men failing to stem the champions
attack Sam Gibson was the los
ing pitcher and Garland the win
ner. Seattle won its fifth straight
game by defeating Oakland for the
fourth time in a free hitting con-
test. Coscarart hit two home runs
in leading the Indians to an l1-3
victory.
Portland continued its improved
play by defeating Sacramento. 3-2,
in a duel in which Caster allowed
only four hits to the Senators. The
Beavers got 10 off Salvo and Horne
and won the game by three run
rally in the eighth inning.
The Missions combined 13 hits

feat the Stars, 12-4. Lloyd john
