LOS ANGELES, Dec. 80. (UP)-
Bing Crosby, of the velvet vocal
equipment Crosbys, came out on the
air waves last night with the flat
statement that Ellsworth Vines
would be the 1888 national amateur
golf champion.
This must not be dismissed as
just another warbling of a crooner,
because Mr.. Crosby is more than
that. He happens to know sports
several sports. He owns one of the
best racing stables on the west
coast, and on his locker door at the
Lakeside golf club is the champion
ship plaque.
A consistent low 70's shooter him.

Vines, now the worlds greatest pro-
fessional tennis player. soon will
become the country's outstanding
amateur golfer.

Crosby hailed him as coming
champion and unless am a poor
er student of human nature than
tihhh All, LuoWOiIu WASH
greatly surprised, His blush was
not anywhere nearly, as deep as
that of a rose, and his smile had
more confidence than embarrass-
ment in il.
Later I talked torVines about his
golf game and his record Is an
amazing one. He played his first
game in 1882 at White Sulphur
Springs, when his mind still was
deeply absorbed in tennis. His
score was between $50 and 100. He
didn't swing club again until 1884,
but at the end of that season he
was good enough to fire TO and
79 in the qualifying rounds OF the
Pasadena $1,000 open tournament.
This year he has played In but
one tournament, the California state
open, and he proved his improve
ment by finishing sixth among the
amateurs with successive rounds of
73, "a, 76 and 81. Since then he
has broken 70 a dozen times, and
on courses that require every shot
in a golfers bag.
Vines definitely plans to play in
the national amateur this year
His tennis tour with Fred Perry
winds up in May, giving him plenty
of time to get in shape for the
qualifying play.
He doesn't believe the United
States Golf association will question
his amateur status, because he has
a letter from the u s. q. A. written
two years ago, telling him that he
was fully eligible to play in all
tournaments sanctioned by the as
ISOLATION.
Il was tennis professional then,
just as I am now" Vines said, 80
1 guess I am still eligible"
Vines will show the amateur
golfers a beautifully sound swing
that gets great distance, and
short fame that Harry Cooper says
is one or the surest he has ever
seen. Also he will bring tremendous
enthusiasm for the sport.
II like golf much better than
tennis" Vines told me. "It's the
bes. game/0f them all. i still am
keen on tennis, but for pleasure
81 can't match golf. In tennis
it's hard for me 10 find game.

TODAY'S '.'..'. .
SPORTS PARADE
By HENRY McLEMORE

! don't want to brag, but i'm ten
mis- there aren't more than five or
six men in the world who can
give me a game. In golf, the
handicap system makes it pos
sible for me to always get a
match. Too, in golf you play
your own game, regardless of your
opponent. In tennis, your game
depends on the fellow on the
other side of the net."
Vines thinks tennis has helped
him in golf in only one way-given
him real competitive temperament.
I'm tennis I had to learn to be
able to bring off a winning shot
when I needed one. That is, a
winning shot most of the time. I
have carried that feeling into golf.
When I need par or a birdie to
win or square a match I step up
to the ball feeling just the same
as I do when I have to bring off
a forehand placement or a service
ace. In other words, I am accus-
toned to pressure. You don't play
through Wimbledon, Davis cup
matches and Forest Hills without
getting that"
Vines gives George Lott, his for
mer Davis cup partner, credit for
starting him off in golf.
George used to beat the socks
off me at golf" Vines laughed, land
one day I told him I was going to
learn the game, just to be able to
beat him. George made me three
bets that day. He bet me $50 that
I never would qualify for the ma
tional amateur, $50 that I never
would qualify for the open, and
$50 that never would shoot 300 or
better in 72 hole tournament"
My guess is that Brother Lott is
going to lose $3.50 before 1898 be-
comes 1889.

Manuel Ortiz, national flyweight

pearance i'm the valley since win
ming his crown at Boston tonight
when the FL Centre Mexican clash
es with Baby Moose Marcus of the
u. ;. Navy i'm the main event at
the Calexico athletic club.
Ortiz waded through a list of
the best flyweights in the United
States but he did not face an
amateur who hits as hard as the
Moose from San Diego.
Marcus has a string of kayo
victories as long as Manuel's and
nearly as impressive. Action is as
sured when the two flyweights
start to work in the first round.
Joe Gotta, Calexico's lightweight
find, viii face his stiffest test of
the season when he clashes WITH
Ward Hoffman of the Navy.
Ray Martinez, whose only de-
feats came at the hands of Manuel
Ortiz when Ray was in the ban
tamweight class, will advance to
the featllerweight ranks tonight to
meet the hard hitting Cleo Shans.
Pete Martinez, Calexico's out
standing amateur. will clash with
tough sailor from San Diego, jess
Gonzalez. in the semi Windup. Con-
zslez is a clever boxer and a fair
hitter. He should be able to extend

That the amateur fights in the
state of California be confined
strictly to amateurs is apparently
the aim of Thomas Cox, superint-
endent of amateur boxing in the
AAU. -
The boxing car Tuesday night
set down Jimmie Allen and INT
Cobb because they had fought pro-
fessionaly in Phoenix. and a lew
weeks ago he set down Tex Smith
because the Brawley lad had
fought pro before coming to the
valley
There are several fighters on the
coast who have been affected by
the same campaign and by the
middle of the year the boxing
commissioners expects to eliminate
all former pro fighters.
Everett Jure is one of the coast
boys who appeared in the valley
who was set down. Jure had fought
pro in San Diego seven years ago.
The move by Thomas and the
state boxing commission inspectors
has been criticized on many sides
but as a matter of fact Thomas
campaign is the best thing for
boxing. -.
Fighters who have not had the
experience should not be, forced to
fight those boxers who have had
pro ring learning.
The purpose OF amateur fighting
is to develop the youth of the ma
ton as well Sa to develop future
pro material. And allowing pro
fighters to fight against amateurs
destroys the purpose of the sport
as well as endangering the anna
teurs forced to clash with the old
er and more experienced oppon-
ents.
The El Centro tennis club. de-
termined to promote, interest in
the valley, is completing arrange
ments to bring Vines and Perry to
the valley in February.
