This is far more ground than any
duffer could cover in a year chasing
wild hooks and wilder slices. far of
the course.
Sarazen and Joe Kirkwood opened
the Spring season by flying all over
South America. They opened the
Fall season by heading for Australia
and New Zealand and, within a
month or so, Sarazen has a date to
meet Kirkwood in Japan on another
tour.
That Is what you might call
moving around, here and there.
Stocky Gene won the Hawaiian
championship on his way home with
Runyan, Wood. Shute, Diegel and
others who made the far-away jaunt.
Australia is a great place." Sarazen
said, where they certainly go for
golf. But New Zealand Is about the
greatest spot I ever saw. In a scenic
way it Is magnificent and they play
more golf, per capita, in New Zealand
than any other country in the world.
"But this U. S. A. is where the

the ball well back of the hazard, as

point of entry between me and the

one might criticize me for doing this,
so dropped it so close to the trees in

About Golf Courses.

CENE SARAZEN agrees with Bobby
II Jones that most American golf
courses are almost upside down.
Most of them have fast fairways
and slow greens. What they should
have is slow fairways and hard, fast
greens. E~'
You can play almost any type of
shot to the average American green,
and it will stick. No skill In shot
making is required.
The greens are watered and soft
ened. A badly hit shot is just about
as good as a well hit shot.
Most Of our courses are stand.
ardized for standardized shots.
They call for little technique in
playing to the green.
The three severest critics Of many
American courses whom I have heard
are Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and
Gene Sarazen. They ought to know
just a trifie about it.

PRO GOLF ACES
TRAIL UNKNOWN

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.-Out-
standing players in professional
golf, notableS such as Olin Dutra,
Macdonald Smith and Walter
Hagen, today were on the trail
of an unknown amateur, Jack Hol-
brook, as the second half of the
first round of the Oakmont
$6,500 open started.
Yesterday, despite the fact such
notableS as Gene Sarazen, Harry
Cooper, Harold McSpaden, Jimmy
Thomson and Horton Smith
played, Holbrook paced the field.
His brilliant 68, two under par,
dominated the play of a hundred
of the best pros and amateurs in
the United States.
Not far behind, Jack Gaines, a
former Southern California anna
teur titleholder, with SO, a score
that placed him in a tie with
slender Al Zimmerman, of Port
land, and the Minneapolis "buSi-
ness man golfer" Les Bolstad.
The fastest threesomes, and it
was the days feature, found
Harold McSpaden with a 72,
Gene Sarazen with 73, and Jimmy
Thomson with 78 breezing the 18
holes in just 2 hours and 40
minutes.
Holbrook's 6S was not expected
to stand today. Fred Morrison,
half a dozen times in the past
10 days. has been under the 70
mark. Walter Hagen, playing a
practice round yesterday, turned
the course in SO. Denny Shute
is back in form and KY Lafoon
is said to be back in the groove.
Mac Smith, George Won Elm and
a score of others today had their
eyes on that 68.

Grieves Bill Brown

Grieves Bill Brown
The presence of these political
interlopers grieved the Republican
heart of Bill Brown no little. So,
they'd run in inferior talent on
the public, would they? He'd
show them.
So Bill stormed into the offices
of the State Athletic Commission
waving his license in the air. He
demanded regular appointment to
the bouts at Madison Square Gar.
den. He refused to accept ap-
pointments to any other club. He
issued his ultimatum, seized his
license 'twixt thumb and index
finger and threatened TO tear it
to pieces.
"Tear away" replied the COM
mission, 1--WE will not be dictated
to by you or anyone elSe."
There. dog-gone it; spoiled my
own story. Bill Brown didn't dis
cover discipline at all. It was
thrust upon him.
That rollicking farce in New
York is interesting here for the
reason that as boxing goes in the
Garden so it goes in the entire
Eastern theater. Good fighters
are wary of New York because of
the atrocious decisions handed
down with shocking regularity.
Col. John Reed Fitzpatrick, presi.
dent of the Garden condemns the
decisions and the incompetent but
politically fright" officials forced
upon his business. Mr.. Brown
condemns the inferior grade of
bouts offered by the Garden.
Situation a Mess
There is no doubt that the
situation in its entirety is in a
mess. The boxing fraternity is to
blame for this. I mean the entire
boxing fraternity. Promoters at
tempt to force certain fighters on
the public. Very often, a brother
or cousin manages these war
riors. In certain instances, the
fighter is compelled to ''kick back"
certain percentage of his earn
ings to match makers.

practices are common. Doubtless
the commission as individuals

K|CKERS To TRY
AGAIN SUNDAY

One of the most unique soccer
games ever witnessed in Washing
ton will take place Sunday on Ben
ming Field at 2 p. m. between the
German Americans and the Fern
wood Club of Baltimore, if the
snow does not melt by that time.
Black lines will be substituted for
the traditional white ones, if the
snow remains.
The local lads are anxious to
take another crack at the Balti-
moreans as the latter have de-
feated them twice this season. BY
winning the game the German
Americans will be assured of the
divisional title and also the right
to meet the Pennsylvania champs.
It is doubtful if the Recreation
League will play Sunday.

KLEIN REFUSES
CUBSCONTRACT

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Chicago
Cubs officials today were con-
cerned over the announcement
by charles "Chuck" Klein. the
$125,OO0 outfielder, that he is
definitely a holdout.
At Indianapolis, where he is
having a bothersome Charley
horse ironed out, Klein stated
that his 1885 contract was not
satisfactory and added that he
will not sign until it is. He de-
clined to say what the figures
were. Klein said he would write
his employers a letter soon, how
ever.
Bill Jurges, veteran Shortstop,
sent in his signed contract to be-
come the sixteenth Cub in the
fold. Jurges mailed the eagerly
awaited document from his winter
headquarters in Brooklyn.

Kodak FIGHTS
CANZONER|

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-A young
man who long since abbreviated
his name to read LEO Kodak"
out of Difference to copyreaders
and easy articulation, will come
to blows with Tony Canzoneri, the
old war-horse of lightweights, to-
night at the Chicago Stadium.
The bout is being staged in the
interests of bed and board money
for the Messrs. Nate Lewis and
James Mullen, the 24-hour pro-
moterS, and is to be viewed by
some $4,000 of the homicide
clientele.
One way or the other it is cal
culated to bring forth another
serious challenger to the crown
of Barney Ross, the lightweight
titleholder.
Although Kodak, by dint of
more boxing skill than murderous
intent, has won twenty-four con-
secutive bouts during a brief dura-
ton as a professional, most of his
victims were numbered among the
stumblebum variety or applicants
to the Home for Aged and Infirm.
However, the 21-year-old youth
has a nonunion habit or poking
his left hand into peoples faces
and is something of an infighter
who may give Canzoneri a brisk
workout.
Tony, of course, will stake his
all on the possibility of rocking
the young man into a state of
lethargy. In any event, the con-
test figures to arouse the enthu-
siasm of the customers, who have
always liked the goings-on of the
former lightweight Champion

ary 10.
The two are Ned Michel,
fighting in the 155-pound class,
and Dave zabriskie, the football
guard, who will take care of the
165-pound weight. Both of these
will face Virginians who are
fighting their first season in the
first string.
Virginia will bring three
fighters to Annapolis who won
their bouts against the Navy
last year, and who are also
champions of the Southern
intercollegiate Boxing Association
in their classes. The Navy has
two fighters who won against
Virginia last year, also Slade
Cutter, unbeaten heavy, to whom
Virginia forfeited.
Favor Experience
While neither team will con-
cede that their opponents will
turn the same trick again,
chances favor the experienced
fighter in all cases, so it looks
as if each team should win in
three bouts somewhat readily,
leaving the green fighters in the
senior, welter and middleweight
classes to decide the contest.
With Archie Hahn, jr., bantam;
Gordon Rainey, feather, and May
nard Womer, junior welter, all
winners against the Navy last
year, Virginia has strong lever
age on three bouts. On the other
hand, Jack Bitch, lightweight,
and Capt. George Lambert, light
heavy, won from their Virginian
opponent last season, and there is
also the unconquered h w.
weight, Slade Cutter.
Plenty of Chance
There is, of course, plenty of
chance that there may be slip
up for one or more of the veter-
ans on either side. George Con-
key, for instance, the District
MILDLY, made fine showing
against Western Maryland Satur-
day, and may surprise Maynard
Womer. On the other hand, Vir-
ginia may bring up something
strong in the light-heavy and un-
limited classes to threaten Lam
bert and Cutter.
Ned Michel, for whom much IS
hoped, won his bout against West
ern Maryland Saturday, and Dave
Zabriskie lost to Andy Gorski,
Eastern intercollegiate champion
at the weight. While this was 60
ing on, Virginia won over North
Carolina in the former class by
forfeit and lost in the latter. Pres
ent indications, therefore, are for
an even break in those classes
when Sailor and Cavalier meet.
