ok HUNDRED thoroughbreds al
ready are stabbed at Alamo Downs
for the Winter meeting, starting
Christmas day, and so more are ex-
pected before the inaugural.
Eight races will be presented daily
at the Texas track during the holi-
days and on Saturdays, with seven
races the order on all other after
moons. The meeting will close Feb
ruary 2.
In the string Of six R. T. Watts
shipped from Texas to Hialeah Park
in Miami were Pot au Brooms, 4year-
old chestnut gelding, and Albert D.,
a black gelding by Blackwood- Gulf
Girl. The latter is a candidate for
the $4,000 added Florida derby.
Pot au Brooms is the iron horse of
the outfit. This gelded son of Pot au
Feu and Broomiola forced Ted Clark
to a new track record of 1:49 for the
mile and an eighth in the $4,000
added Waggoner handicap at Airing
ton Downs and lost the decision by an
eyelash in the $1,000 Houston handi-
cap.
The new Sunshine Stadium and
bleacher section which Joseph E.
Widener ordered installed at Hialeah
are rapidly nearing completion. The

Gully Becomes an M. p.

THEY came to a fiat field sur
/ rounded by paling, in which a
few gaps had been broken to
admit the crowd.
About 3 o'clock q torrent of rain
began. Shortly afterward Gregson,
Gully. Mendoza. Harry Lee. Joe Ward,
the Game Chicken and other famous
fighters arrived and small ring was
formed by persons, who, so eager were
they to see the fight under way, VOL
unteered to lie down in the mud pud-
dies of the soaked field. The fighters
entered their ring, overcoats over
their fighting costumes of silk stock
ings and white breeches. They wore
no shoes.
The fight itself was brief and dis
appointing. Gregson did not come up
to expectations. He was knocked
down and his face covered with blood
by two blows in the first round, from
which, he said, he never recovered.
The fight went for 2S rounds, how
ever, before he was unable to come to
the scratch.
As Gregson was carried out of the
ring, Gully addressed the crowd with
the announcement that he never
would tight again. In subsequent
years Gully became q wealthy. re-
spected citizen and q member Of
Parliament.
The battered Gregson was visited
the following Monday by delegation
of "noblemen and gentlemen anna
teurs who made him a handsome
present"

THE alarm OF invasion, however,
was tranSitory. The magistrates of
Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, at
the head of their constables and posse
comitatus, with a subsidiary force of
volunteers from the neighboring dis
tricts, were determined to resist this
unlicensed incursion into their terri
tories. The DunStable volunteers were
out under arms as far back as We'd
nesday. by which time the concourse
of people was so great in that vicinity
that 80 shillings were asked for bed.
All the lofts, barns and outhouses
were filled, and happy were they who
had their carriages to sleep in. During
the whole of Monday night the town
of Woburn was in continual motion,
with people arriving on foot, on horse
back and in carriages, few knowing
which way to go and all dreading dis
appointment from the reports of the
day iof the decided intention of the
magistrates So strong was this lat
ter impression that from betting on
the battle they began to bet there
would be no fight at all. Ten TO one
was bet over and over.
In one room at Woburn Is gentle
men lay upon the floor and in chairs
and were happy to pay on the same
terms as if they had lain on feather
beds. In many cases the horses,
though the weather was severe. we're
obliged to stand without covering. At
about 5 o'clock Tuesday morning the
visitors began to move. Between
and several carriages and four
arrived direct from London with the
most dashing and fashionable anna
teurs.

STRNGu1T OEE TME TEE
by w. r. ms CALLuM

We recall one day at Washington
watching him plough around that
course in SO strokes, with 81 on the
last nine holes, ending with on the
eighteenth. That's the kind of golfer
he was and still will be when he comes
back into the game.
n oGER PEACOCK, Indian Springs
IN ace amateur, is to get his new
bag of clubs within a few days
and then will be ready to start toward
what he hopes will be big winning
season. Rogers old set was stolen
from the golf shop at Indian Spring
and later was recovered, along with
four other sets. He gave 'em to his
father-in-law and since that time,
back in early November, the Peacock
lad has been playing with George Dif-
fenbaugh's irons, and playing well, too.
Out at Chevy Chase the final move
to equip Bob Barnett with complete
set of steel-shafted clubs is under way
at the hands of Bill Hardy. Bill Is
winding up the making Of new wooden
clubs with steel shafts for Bob, who
has been the foremost professional ad-
vocate Of wooden shafts around Wash
ington.
He already is making a set Of steel
shafted irons for Bob and will ship
'em to him at Miami Beach shortly.
Wonder If Bob will be able to play
those intentional slices and hooks with
steel as he has done so well with wood?
He claims wood is more responsive
than steel.

Crowd Is Is Miles Long.

4 40-FOOT ring raised with sods
n about II inches had been
formed on Ashley Common. A
cart had come in sight with ropes
and stakes when news spread that
the magistrates were aware of what
was intended. Then Mendoza,
dressed in green and mounted in
dashing style, came up with two or
three gentlemen amateurs and as
sured the crowd the battle would
not be fought in that place. Upon
this assurance the whole crowd
rushed down the hill to Gregson's S
lodgings, where they found this cham
pion seated in the Earl Of Barry
more's barouche, with the horses
heads turned to Woburn. and es-
corted by about $50 noblemen and
gentlemen on horseback, the rear
brought up with an immense number
of gigs, tandems, etc. Many in the
meantime were advancing from Wo-
burn to the Common. The two tides
met and both came with their ac-
cumulated force into Woburn.
THE knowing ones who led the
mass had been apprized that they
were to rendezvous at several places
in reversion, the first Of which was
Sir John Seabright's Park in Hert-
fordshire, about II miles distant from
the original spot. The spirits of the
fondest admirers of the art now began
to flag and several returned home,
but the multitude was so great they
did not appear to have suffered any
dimunition. For Is miles the road
was covered with a solid mass of
passengers.
an Dunstable, and for a half mile
on either side Of that town, there
was a string OF carriages in a triple
row. Several carriages were broken
in the pressure and the owners Of
fered a guinea a mile for conveyance
to the scene of the fight Neither
horses nor carriages were to be pro-
cured for any money and many gen.
tlemen were glad to stow themselves
in butchers carts for shilling a
mile"

Had Remarkable Streak.

TEW old-timers will forget the thrill
they got back in 1928. when
Bobby Cruickshank. then vir-
tual unknown, stormed his way over
the last nine holes at Inwood, playing
a stretch of seven holes in even IS, to
tie Bobby Jones for the national open
at 296. Jones won on the play-off.

to go when the Scot pulled tee shot
and was unable to get across the water
hazard in front of the green in two
shots, winding up with a to Jones A.
Again the next year Cruicky made
great bid for the title, finishing in
fourth-place tie at Detroit. In those
days Bobby's star was riding high.
With good job and fine prospects he
was looked upon as a potential ma
tional champ But evil days fell on
him in those black years Of 1929 and
1880. For time he worked for New
York store and his golf was in tenn
porary eclipse In 1881, aided by
Tommy Armour. he got the job at the
Country Club of Virginia, a good job.
and from that point on the Cruick-
shank fortunes began to mend. In
1882 the open championship went to
Fresh Meadow at Flushing, Long
Island, where Gene Sarazen had been
the pro for several years. Gene won
the title, but not before Bobby Cruick-
shank had come to the fore with de-
termined challenge. He wound up
that tournament with a 69 and a 68
after a starting 78 to finish in tie
for second at 289 with Phil Perkins,

Celebrates 10th Birthday Cuichak 7aed BY Tough Luck
CAN'T QUITE WIN
NATIONAL CROWN
Finishes Second Once, Ties
for Runner-up Spot on
Two Occasions.

"INEST playing professional golf
~ er in the Middle Atlantic terri
tory and one of the first 10
professionals in the country,
Bobby Cruickshank of Richmond, Va,
late Of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the
British forces in Flanders, must be
wondering these days what evil fate
pursues him in national championships
and whether he ever is to have his
name engraved on the national open
championship cup.
Bobby has won two big tournaments
over the last few weeks, has finished
high up in the prize dough in the big
Miami Biltmore affair and has been
playing such good golf that if he goes
on the Winter tour, as he plans to Go,
he is going to be one of the few men
to make money.
Not much taller than the driver he
wields so effectively, the little Scot
has piled up a great record since he
came to this country IL years ago.
Once he has been in the runner-up
position for the national open title
twice more he has tied for second
place and in all the nationals in which
he has played he has been up there
rapping at the door of the title which
has SO long evaded him. Bobby won
the National Capital open at Kenwood
in October with the record breaking
score of 208. two under par for the 54-
mole distance, and only a couple of
days ago he led stellar field of pros
in the Nassau open with the almost
unbelievable score of 267 for 72 holes.
That figures out at the rate of 663
strokes to the round, and it makes
little difference that the course was
only $500 yards in length. It's shoot
ing golf by any standard of compar-
ison. But that is just what the folks
down in Richmond have come to ex-
pect of Cruickshank, where he shocked
the natives of that staid old town by
scoring 60 at the par 73 Hermitage
course and then gave them the filters
by playing more than a dozen rounds
of the James River course in better
than 70 strokes. That James River
course is tough one, too, with par
of 70.

including Frank Williams, pro at the
Brookside course, where the cham
pionship is being played AL Breuger,
Beloit, Wis; Macdonald Smith, Los
Angeles, and Jimmy Hines, Long
Island.
Revolta, Martin and Guldahl parad-
ed home in 50 to tie the score set up
by Zimmerman on the opening day.
Behind them were such stars as
George Won Elm and Fred Morrison,
with TBS; Horton Smith, Henry Picard,
Walter Hagen and Ted Longworth,
with cards of 49, Witty Cox, Eddie
Loos and Willie Hunter, who had
taken "a strokes, and John Dawson,
Abe Espinosa, John Rogers and Fay
Coleman, with 75s.
All the favorites remained in the
running today, but when the field is
trimmed sharply from 100 to the 81

able that several of the more prom
inent golf1ng gentry might be left

= TILL the walloping hitter and
- the deadly putter of three years
~ ago, Jimmy Herman, the Ohio
lad who came here to work in
the Office of Representative Jim Fitz-
gerald four or five years ago and
waltzed off with the Chevy Chase
tourney while doing it, came to town
for brief stay yesterday.
Out of serious golf for nearly two
years, Jimmy played round over the
Washington Golf and Country Club
course, his old stamping ground, and
despite the fact that he hadn't touched
a club for six months, he was able to
get around in 50 over the soggy lay
out in a game with Calvert Dickey and
DR.. c. E. Buck.
Herman was one of the better
amateur golfers to hit Washington.
Not quite as good SHOEMAKER as Gene
Vinson, nevertheless Herman had
that something of the inner spirit that
makes a good competitor. In 1881 he
won the medal and was runner-up at
Woodmont and a few weeks later he
waded through good field to grab
the Presidents cup in the Chevy Chase
Club tournament.
Despite his apparent lack Of practice
Jimmy hit some shots that looked
like the Herman of old, the man who
could maui a golf ball with the best Of
'em. He now is a lawyer in Dayton,
Ohio, where he says it's tough for q
young barrister hanging out his
shingle in town which the depGes-
sion has hit hard.

in those States where general re-
vision is not necessary they may select
one or more of these suggestions and
present them in one bill or number
of bills"
TINE general subject Of pollution,
being of such large and COM
prehensive character, he said,
has been left for special national and
State enactment, and has not been
embodied excepting in general way.
I'VE do, however, recommend that
specific enforcement of laws relating
to pollution of streams. ponds and
lakes be assigned to State commits
sions. We also recommend that the
State commissions have the power to
designate certain fishes, birds and
animals as predators. We call par
ticular attention to the marauding,
hunting and destruction of game and
fish by the stray house cat, which is
generally believed to be the greatest
of all predators when permitted at
large and hunt at night"
Every State protects birds Of song,
plumage and insectivorous species
which do not properly come under the
classification Of edible birds, the Sen
ator points out, and said that in prac-
tically all Of the States there are
statutes requiring the protection of
these birds. He recommends that the
specific enforcement of these State
provisions be given to the State COM
missions.
I'VE believe the progressive Gov
ernors Of States, thinking State
Senators and legislators, attorneys
general of States and conservation
and sportsmen's organizations may at
least accept our report because of its
suggestions, even though specific rec
concentrations may not be approved, u

stepped quickly into the lead, gave
ground bit in the fifth, sixth and

TIE PUT forth one Of his most de-
termined stands this year at
Merton, near Philadelphia.
Leading the field for the first two
rounds, after barely qualifying in the
sectional trials at Richmond, Cruick-
shank seemed to have the title tucked
away But something happened in
that final round. Over the last nine
the shots that had chung unerringly to
the pin line began to slip away and
again he finished in tie for second
while another pro stepped up to ac-
cept the big mug-Olin Dutra this
time.
Sometimes we wonder II Bobby
Cruickshank, one of the finest shot
makers who ever drew on a spiked
brogan, is to go through the years
without national championship. The
same raw courage that enabled the
little Scot to escape a German prison
camp during the war remains with
him in his golf game, but the national
title remains out Of his reach. We re-
member in that last round at Ken
wood. when Goggin and a flock OF 9TH
ers we're pushing him how he stepped
up 10 IIlt SlAIIl llUle, pldycu lilIO UAs
wind and parked his tee shot 4 feet
from the cup. That birdie deuce
sewed up the tournament. True. there
were lots of holes to go, but 1t enabled
him to get out in "a. From that spot
he could coast home.
Cruickshank has too long been de-
MED the national title. 1t must come
some day. No man can keep plugging
away as he has done so long and miss
winning. But will it come before the
fire leaves him and the tightening
muscles of age begin to reach in and
tame down that flawless swing, restrict
that smooth pivot? For, be it known,
Bobby Cruickshank is one Of the bet
ter distance hitters of golf, man who
can wallop a ball with any Of the long
sluggers. Short as he is, he obtains
remarkable distance and accuracy
with a swing and pivot which many
bigger men fail to attain. Don't be
surprised to see Bobby Cruickshank
become one of the big money winners
of the Winter circuit this year and
follow up by winning the national
open. Lesser men than this little Scot
with the big heart have done both.
