GOOD GOLF
 By BiU KiSh
'THE RIGHT START
 MEANS EVERYTHING"

Golf is a game that even the champions must hold in the deepest respect. There is always the chance of going wrong, always the haunting phantom of disaster staring us in the face.
 4
 For over three hundred years golf has been a game noted for it's simplicity. It means hitting a little ball from one place to another, a most ordinary sort of a thing, yet it is attended by the most aggravating trou- bles, and we are constantly reminded by a most compli- cated set of rules to govern our play.
 4
 No one has yet been able to master this ancient game. No one can hope to win continu- ously through the years. A golfers career is a long one, longer than in any sport. There must be considerable satisfaction in being able to play a course in figures near par when a man has reached three score and ten, and yet this is done by many players occasionally.
 4
 There can be no simple method of learning the game, no shert cut to success. When one takes up golf he should be prepared to give consider able attention to the game in the beginning. THE RIGHT START MEANS EVERY THING," and the player who is willing to spare time and patience with his early in- struction will profit much more in the end than the golfer who spends most of his time in playing and none in practice.

MASSERA, BARRY
 CLASH TONIGHT

Classy Heavyweights al FOOtguard Hall-Snap-
 py PreIim Battles
fspecial to fhe Democrat.l )

Hartford, Feb 14.--Both Charley MAssera, Italian-American heavy weight from Pittsburgh and Don- aid "Red" Barry, Washington 8 lighting Irish heavyweight arrived in Hartford this morning for their ten round bout at Foot Guard hall tonight. They report themselves in dne shape.
 Each hied himself to a separate hotel in town and then reported at the State Capitol building for the weighing ceremonies and a physlc- al examination.
 To-night's fistic show is the ini- tia1 presentation under the promo torial setup of Lou Erik, well known New York fight manager and Ed Hurley of Hartford. The new combination will lend color and action in supplying Hartford fans with good matches.
 Met Before
 To.night's 10 rounder is re- turn affair. The principals met In Pittsburgh several months ago and after a furious battle, Barry re- ceived the verdict. The loss at the hands of Barry came right after the handsome 1talian-American had made a splendid showing at Madison Square Garden in bout with King Levinsky. Prior to that Charlie fought a draw with Steve Hamas. Charlie was going places and Reds victory upset him no end. He is determined to erase that defeat tonight. Charlie will enter the ring against Barry on the short end of 6 to 5.
 Local fight fans however give him an equal chance to win over Barry. They recall Massera's fine showing against Unknown Eddie Winston at the last show in Foot Guard hall. The Pittsburgher dis played punching power combined with speed that night to win from the hard hitting Negro. Barry, by the way, also holds a victory over Winston. Barry claims he will re- peat the victory tonight while Massera is equally confident of turning the tables. A great bout should be the result.
 Looks Good
 Eduardo Quarry, sharp shooting Negro welterweight is to be seen in the semi-final of eight sessions. His opponent will be Rancho Villa of New Bedford. Quarry in his only appearance here shaped up as . capable performer in whipping Elmer Bezenah.
