Jim hit spoon second to the middle
Of the green. Walter walloped a
mashie iron shot to the green which
placed the ball feet from the cup.
Barnes 3-putted and Walter won the
hole with birdie 4.
That's scrambling golf in the final
degree, and that was IL years ago,
when scrambling really was big stuff.
Bob Jones himself has done some
scrambling, but Bob never was
whole-hearted scrambler. He was too
good a golfer; too fine a hitter Of the
ball.
AS long as golf is played, just so
long will 30-foot putt, or a deadly
pitch from a bunker furnish a par
that looks just as good on the score
card as one made by two fine shots
and two puts.
Scrambling is too deeply rooted to
toss it out now, whether Bob Mac
Donald likes it or not.

Scrambling, as fine art, really was

F|ST|C SITUATION
MUDDLED BY WIN
Erwin Proposes Heavy
weight Tourney to Find Foe
for Buck Everett.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

w YITH the Districts muddled
a heavyweight sock situation
NV further from solution than
ever by virtue of Eddie
Mader's unanimous decision victory
over Billy Nichy last night at Turner's
Arena, Jimmy Erwin. manager Of Buck
Everett, offers suggestion that may
aid Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn in
his pugilistic problem.
Buck. in case you're forgotten, still
Is heavyweight champion of this
noggin-knocking center. Incapacitated
at present due to a dislocated left
shoulder suffered in training recently,
Buck will be ready to resume his ring
career in three weeks.
Erwin, one of the rather limited
number of handlers who actually
knows the fight game to the core,
wants Ahearn to launch local heavy
weight elimination tournament, the
winner to face Everett for the District
title.
No doubt that suggestion is designed
to replenish the Erwin wallet-al-
though Petey Sarron's lists have kept
Jimmy's Golfers we'll lined-but rever-
theless the idea seems logical.
Included in that clouting category
would be such Scrappers as Nader.
Nichy, Al Delaney. Bob Tow, Marty
Gallagher and Matte Brown, the fancy
diver of Philadelphia fans.
Young Favorites Evenly Matched.
IF AHEARN allows the present sit
uation to become more involved
by continual rematching of Nader,
Delaney and Nichy, Washington's
fistic colony will raise a righteous
howl While those boys have satiated
the fans ring appetite repeatedly,
there is no marked superiority of
one lad over either of the other two.
Nichy and Nader have split in two
battles and probably would break even
in a dozen more. Delaney managed
to trim Nichy by slight margin, but
it is a matter of conjecture as to
whether he could do it again. And
now a Delaney Nader bout is in the
offing
Former stablemates, AL and Eddie
probabaly know each others style too
we'll to assume that the battle would
be the stirring session that jumps
to mind with the mere mention of
those names.
Obviously, Erwin's suggestion may
deserve much consideration.
The Mader-Nichy argument, while
a torrid episode of beak-busting, still
leaves many spectators on the shelf
as to who actually won the bout.
Even Mader's most severe critic will
not deny that he made one of the
greatest comebacks of the season
against his paralyzing Pittsburgh foe,
however.
Pecking at Eddie from long range
during the first round. Nichy piled
up enough points to win the heat,
and then threw the second session
away when, ahead on points, he lost
the round on a foul.
