Today, young Hugh Lynch faces
his greatest opportunity for fame in
the District tennis world. 1t is the

the final round of a local champion
ship since coming here after his
graduation at Princeton last year.
For Welsh it's an old story.
While few give the curly haired,
'dark-complexioned ex-Tiger anything
more than an outside chance against
the Rockville Rambler, Lynch showed
definitely that he had what it takes
to beat a local ranking star yester-
day. Admittedly of his game, Dooley
Mitchell never had a chance as the
scores Of 6-1, IS attest. But even
had he played up to par, it is doubt
ful If he could have stopped the tour

T TOT SPRINGS, Va, September
II 2l.-Two developments came
out of this tournament today
- - that mean q lot to the pro-
fesSional brethren of golf, who do their
talking with unbounceable checks and
good golf shots. S5he first and most
important to the East is that the
P. G. A. championship OF 1885 will be
played at the Pinehurst Country Club
in November next year, marking the
frst time an important national cham
pionship ever has been played south
of Washington. The second Is that
next Winter the Professional Golfers
Association of America Is going to
stage q mammoth match play cham
pionShip in California, In which all
the leading amteurs and professionals
Of the Nation will be invited to COM
pete.
One of the main ideas back Of this
one will be to find out how good Law
son Little really is and whether he
can do as well against professional op-
position Of the first rank as he did in
manhandling the amateurs at Cleve-
land q week ago. Both Of these are
bona flde and will be played, with much
the same field, although much strong
er, as that which has gathered here for
the Cascades open golf championship,
a tourney which finds the Washington
boys badly eclipsed even though IT
looked today as If Cliff Spencer, long
hitting pro from Beaver Dam. will
come in for a slice of the prize money
when the pay-or comes late this after

Mr.. Dempsey undoubtedly feels that
he is doing Make favor to handle

tile, too silly, to prankish. Several
times, up to the Camera fight, Jack
lost his temper and shouted that Baer
did not deserve the chance he was
getting. The Camera fight Modified
him somewhat. After that he called
Baer a great fighter and let him go
his own way. Dempsey had other
interests to look after.
Every now and then, like a troubled
wasp, Jack would return to the mad
mayfiower and try to sting some sense
into him. You know how much sense
Baer has today. how much sense he
showed in the Braddock fight. That
exhibition disguised Mr.. Dempsey, who

RUT Emery is only one from the

Omaha Is a splendid SHOEMAKER, who
is Just coming to the fore as match
player. Heretofore Goodman has had
little luck at match play, but in the
recent championship he proved his
ability to play the man as well as the
card. Then there are the Texans,
Reynolds Smith, Dave Goldman, Le-
land Hammant and Ed White; all
brilliant players. White, the young
intercollegiate champion, has not
reached the peak of form, but he is
coming, and within two more seasons
should be an outstanding challenger
for the title. Rodney Bliss and Jack

Campbell, one of the finest shot

The outstanding player in the South
is Charlie Yates Of Atlanta, Western
amateur champion and former inter-
collegiate title holder. Yates is head
ed for the championship, but at the
present time seems to lack the stamina
necessary for the hard, six-day grind.

more days when, along about
- sunset, Max Baer will see d
dark shadow moving across Lake
Sacandaga, which spreads out from
his camp in the pines and fades
against the background Of the Adiron-

At sunset Max finishes his evening
meal and his short walk with Icy
Kline. his trainer, and then sits for
a while to look across the lake.
And the dark shadow is always
there-the shadow of Joe Louis-thc
shadow Of q younger man who never

shadow Of better boxer and 8 faster
puncher who can hit and hurt With
either hand.

speaking aloud-"I've got to win

me. I'm going to win"
Max Baer is in the best physical
condition he has known for years.
He has gone the limit In getting
ready.
Feel my arm" he says. Hit
me in the stOmach"-a stomach
as lean and as hard as q slab
Of concrete.
And then suddenly he quits talking
and looks out across the lake where
the dark shadow Of Joe Louis keeps
moving in closer and cloSer-now only

BY FkANClS j. POWERS.
- HICAGO, September 2l.-The
strength Of amateur golf in
the United States now lies
~ west Of the Mississippi River.
Over the last several years the trans
Mississippi sector has been producing
fine golfers in almost wholesale lots
while the crop In the East and Middle
West has been sparse.
Until the advent Of Bob Jones as a
champion most Of our great amateurs
hailed from the East. The Middle
West had champions In Chandler
Egan, Chick Evans and Bob Gardner,
but over q span of 10 years they were
the only ones to break through the
Gordon Of Eastern stars. During the
days Of Jones the South was DOM
inant, but It appears now that the
West will rule the amateur kingdom
for some time TO come.
Lawson Little of California will be
the main man Of amateur golf for
several years, until he is stopped by
some other Westerner. Walter Emery
Of Oklahoma City was anything but a
fash when he reached the final at
Cleveland. Emery is fine player with
a grand temperament, and will be
back in the top ranks of the game

GOOD GOLF
 By BiU KiSh
GOOD PUTTING

I have never seen a good butter who hit or tapped his butts. The trouble with the tapping method is-One has to rely too much on muscular memory. In the swinging method, one swings easily and gently onto the ball with a good follow through and one can regulate one's putt with accuracy by the length of the back swing. The start of a putt is always truer with the swinging method than with the stabbed or tapped method. The stabbed putt makes the ball jump the first few inches as it starts on it's way to the hole, whereas, the swinging putt does not and is superior in every way. The best ad- vice that I can give on putting is-one should make up one's mind to putt so strongly that, unless the ball goes into the hole, it will either stay oppo- site the hole or roll past it. There's an old saying ""Never up, never in." The use of the arms in swinging the butter is also essential in good put ting.

WASHINGTON HILL JUNIORS THE
 TRIBES PLAYOFF

The victory of the Washington Hill Juniors over the Tribune Jun iors at the Washington Park Com munity House last Monday evening put the two teams in a tie for the junior championship of Washing ton Hill. The playoff will take place Monday evening and it is safe to assume that the Commu- nifty House will be filled with fol- lowers of both teams. This friend ly rivalry in sports between the Tribunes who represent the lower Abrigador, and the Hills the upper extremity, dates back to over twenty-five years ago when mem orable battles in all lines of sport were hotly contested.
 On paper the Tribues look bet ter because of more experience. i.e., the roster of this team con- tain Sheehan, Quilter, and William Phelan all of whom were shining luminaries at Crosby. On the other hand the Hill Juniors have kept intact since the original team rep resented St Francis in the Pa rochial School League few years ago. What they lack in individusl stars Is made up in clocklike work on the floor. These two teams gave an exhibition last Monday that would be very hard to dupli- cate. The final score of 17-14 in favor of the, Hills does not mean they. are superior to the lower Baldwin street five.
 A fast preliminary game has been arranged by Physical Direc- tor Al Dobkins. The Washington Hill Co-eds will have for their op. ponents either the champion girl five of New Haven or Bridgeport. The Co-eds strengthened by Betty Sullivan, Grace Lawlor and Marie Santora are rapidly forging to the front in girls circles and in an- other season should develop into combine that will be hard to beat.
 Dancing will follow the main game and many will take advan- tage of this because the following Wednesday is the beginning of Lent. The prelim will get under way at 7:45 p. m. sharp.
