WOLVERINES HOT

Qualify at Least One Man

BY FRITZ HOWELL,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

~OLUMBUS, Ohio. May 49,
A The Wolverines Of Michigan,
winners Of the Big Ten track
- championship four Of the last
i've years. were hot favorites today to
add another to their victory string In
the thirty-sixth annual classic.
The rampaging Wolves, performing
better on the cinders than they did on
paper in the pre-meet figuring, stormed
through the preliminaries yesterday to
qualify for IA places In 10 events. At
least one man was perched in each Of
the competitions In which trials were
held.

came through as expected.
The battle for the team crown was
Q poor second In the public eye. how
ever, the fans placing the personal
scrap of Ohio States Jesse Owens with
time and space In the No. l spot.
Jesse coasted into qualifying berths in
the broad Jump, both dashes and the
low hurdles with ease, winning his
heat in each.
No one expected him to repeat his
scintilAting performance Of q year
ago, when he set three world records
anad tied another at Ann Arbor,
Mich, but with the track lightning
fast he was the magnet slated to
draw $4,000 fans to the Buckeye

Need Open Tourney.

N OPEN tournament. leading pros,
male and female. against the best
amateurs would be a veritable life
saver. On the mercenary side, Tilden,
Vines and Stoefen and Mrs. Ethel
Burkhart Arnold-who has developed
an amazingly fine game of tennis OF
. late-would alone suffice to pack 'em
in over a week of play against Allison,
Bitsy Grant, Bulge, Miss Jacobs, Mrs.
Moody and the rest.
But it never will happen. The U. S.
L. T. A. will not sanction 1t. Even
were the national organization author
tiles disposed to do so, they would be
restrained by the international atti-
tude, notably that of England, which
has steadfastly opposed any such prof.
ect and would like nothing better than
to take a crack at the American or
ganization as a result of its successful
opposition to England's plan to secure
Fred Perry as an amateur by permit
ting him to make money out of tennis
films.
With such q project thus hopeless,
Fred Perry looms as means Of finan-
cial salvation. Trouble is he looms
faintly-a mere ghost Of a prospect as
o recruit to the pro ranks.
And at present, still another way
out, the signing of Allison, or Bulge,
or Grant; or, on the distaff side, Of
Miss Jacobs or Mrs. Moody, Is equally
vague.

Picard Can't Shake Him.

IN THE last two days he has removed
some of their doubt. Both days he
has been paired in the meet with the
defending champion. Henry Picard,
and he has matched Picard shot for
shot.
Nelson started the third round today
two shots in back of Gene Sarazen and
Paul Runyan, who were tied at 1873.
He was two strokes up on Picard,
who was nth, notch below Craig
Wood. Runyan cracked the Quaker
Ridge course yesterday with q 81.
Sarazen and Nelson had SOS, one under
par.
Nelson has been a professional for
only two years. As an amateur he
played in only two tournaments Of
importance, the national amateur of
1881 at Beverly Hills, Chicago, where
he failed to qualify. and the 1882
Texas State amateur, when Reynolds
Smith, of this years United States
Walker Cup team, put him out in
the semi-finals.

THEN he entered the 1888 Texas
open as an amateur, finished
In third place with a score Of 300 and
had his choice of taking the money
or getting the low amateur trophy.
He took the money.
His first pro job was at the Tex
arkana, Tex, Country Club. Last year
he came North as assistant to George
Jacobus at the Ridgewood Country
Club. He played in two New Jersey
tournaments. the open, which he won
and the State P. G. A. championship
held at Baltusrol, In which he tied
for the first and lost in the play-oi.
He was paired today with Runyan
and Clarence Clark, Bloomfield, N.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, May 23.-Future
nj success of professional lawn
" tennis in this country-indeed,
a its very life-depends at the
present time upon several contingent
cies, all of which seem unlikely to hap
pen.
The matter is brought to mind as q
result Of the poor season which Bill
Tilden and his troupers have expert
enced in their tour of the West, cul-
minating the other night In the Wash
ington University Field House, st.
Louis, where exactly 80 paid custom
ers sat in on a show deserving much
better support.
Admitting a prevailing lack of in
terest everywhere, Tilden ascribes it
to the hard Winter. Many of the
dates Of the wandering racket wielders
conceded, he explains, with weather
conditions too atrocious to tempt even
enthusiastic followers of the sport
from their haunts of Information.

Pros Lack Skill.

THE st. Louis outpouring-if the at
- tendance there may be dignified by
30 impressive a term-offered NO
marked contrast to patronage in other
cities and, as all who play the game
know, any sum of money realized from
slightly over 800 spectators would
hardly provide more than a couple new
rackets apiece for Bill Tilden and his
encourage.
Primarily, the influence upon public
enthusiasm of a professional tennis
troupe, most Of whose members are
inferior to the group of top-ranking
amateurs, cannot be compelling. The
great appeal of mercenary sport, indi-
vidual or collective, is superior eff
cheney. The public supports CONNER.

reveal the farthest reaches of proficient
competitive endeavor.
The situation being as 1t is, one Of

Tin Pan Alley is no more, H.

The raucous cacaphony OF pl--
amos and song that once marked
the famous lane in New York is
gone. Hollywood today is the mec-
ca and metropolis of song-writers
who now work in soundDroof

From statistics furnished by
James O'Keefe, who handles
stable of fourteen composers for
goth Century-Fox, these conclu-
sions were drawn. O'Keefe claims
that among the 500 songs issuing
from Hollywood more than 81
per cent of the nations hits will
be found.
When the studio demanded
songs for king of Burlesque,"
which comes to the Carolina We'd
nesday, O'Keefe called in Jimmy
McHugh and Ted Koehler.
TO them he handed script, IN
structions and the key to sound
proof room. From that point on
it was all up to them.
In time the composers emerged
with five tentatively titled songs
with diversity of themes, and
