Dunn Votes for Draw.

JUDGE CHARLEY DUNN thought
the bout a draw, while Judge Bob
Eller and Referee Denny Hughes
voted for Scott. Hughes margin was
two points, while Ellers was five
points. The Stars scoresheet showed
the scrap draw, with five rounds
awarded to each fighter and both ac-
cunulating an equal number Of
points.
The preliminaries were uniformly
poor, with the lowest level Of the
season being reached when Hobo
Williams knocked out Billy Davis, q
gawky Philadelphia importation,
after 1 minute and 80 seconds Of the
first round. It was no contest after
one look at Davis, who looked as if
he never before had laced on glove,
or, for that matter, ever attempted to
harm any one.
Pending investigation by the Dis
trict Boxing Commission, the purse
of Young Raspi, Baltimore light
weight, is being withheld. Young
Palmer, Canadian boxer, was awarded
the bout on a foul by Referee Eddie
La Fond in the third round.
Warned in the second round for
twice hitting low, Raspi again hit
Palmer low in the third canto and
La Fond allowed Palmer several min
utes TO rest. When Raspi repeated
the dose, a Fond stopped the fight,
the first to be terminated in that
manner here since the Petey Sarron-
Benny Bass scrap in 1884.
In an eight-round semi-fnal,
Johnny Lucas, Camden welterweight,
captured a split decision from Johnny
Bellous of Hartford, Conn, while q
special four-rounder saw Willie Nc
Bride, recently out Of amateur ranks,
win by decision over Knockout Clark,
local colored featherweight.
The flood relief fund benefited to
the extent of $21360, which was
tossed into the ring by spectators.

Scott Needs Action,

"GEE. I've tried hard to please
here and it seems as if never
will" mused Howard in a sort of
Joe Palooka apologetic manner in
the dressing room after hearing the
verdict greeted by a crescendo of
booeS. But, I'm the kind OF fighter
who needs to box all the time. I
sure hope I can get some of those
fellows from Oklahoma to come here"
The fiStic fates perhaps have
frowned upon Scott a bit too regu-
larly, for here is a guy who was game
enough to conceal an injured right
hand received in training. to carry it
into the ring with him and carve out
one of his most notable triumphs. Not
even his manager, Gabe Menendez,
knew that Scott's hand was hurt
when the Cowboy trimmed Frankie
Klick, world junior lightweight cham
pion, here last August.
Within SCOTS frame beats as
courageous ticker as ever was en-
bodied in any fighter. Unlike the
average boxer, Howard always feels
there is room for improvement in his
style. He's so courageous, ambitious
and talented, in fact, that he'll have
many hackers should his pending bout
materialize with Lou Ambers, world
lightweight champion.
SCOTS hackers against McGeever,
however, suffered many anxious mo-
ments as the swarthy Scranton fighter
annoyed the Cowboy continuously
with a straight left which paved the
way for follow-up right to the head.
Howard's right to the noggin, usually
his most potent blow, for the most
part was ineffective against McGeever,
who Is rated by Scott as one of the
most clever counter-punchers he ever
has faced.
Howard piled up points by direct
ing his attack to the mIdsection and
occasionally sandwiched a punch to
the head, but most Of his attempted
pokes at Eddie's rugged face were
glancing blows and inflicted little
damage.

SWING HARRY USES
HELD BEST IN GOLF
Only Star Pro Who Tries
to Hit Ball Straight,
Little Claims,
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

BY w. r. McCALLUM.
TARRY COOPER has been rated
- by Bill Richardson, promi-
nent golf writer, as the lead
ing professional of the United
states. And now Lawson Little comes
along today, in syndicate yarn, CALL
ing Lighthouse Harry the best wooden
club player in the world, which should
make it practically unanimous as to
Harry's qualifications as a golfer.
Dissecting the style of wooden club
play, which puts Cooper up with the
leading money winners Of the nation
year after year, Lawson says Harry
plays perfectly straight ball without
either fade or hook, and is practically
the only leading player who tries to
hit straight shot.
Cooper Missed in '27.
YEP, Lawson, We saw it in the
play-of of the 1927 open, when
Harry tried to play a perfectly
straight shot to the sixteenth green
at Oakmont, and it faded into a
deep trap, and he took to the hole,
while Tommy Armour deliberately
played a hooked shot to the wide
part of the green and won the hole
and the championship with a par 3.
But maybe Harry has changed his
style since then. Certainly he's a
better golfer today than he was 10
years ago, and he was plenty good
then.
Harry works on the principle Of
taking the club straight back from the
ball with the hands and arms, says
IaWson-With only minimum
amount of turn allowed the body.
Lawson says he feels that il the
club is taken straight back from the
ball, it can be returned to the ball
more directly and more consistently
in the same path.
Uses straight Line Swing.
IT'S the straight line method OF
swing, as used these days by
many masters of the game. Such
sharpshooters as Henry Picard, Witty
Cox and Horton Smith use the same
type Of swing, and it works.
But Bob Jones and Harry Vardon
and Lawson. himself, don't use that
method. These three turn the body
beginning with the hips so the large
muscles of the leg and back are en-
abled to get more power into the shot.
Cooper, according to Lit, uses more
of the lateral hip shift along the
lines of Tommy Armour, hip slide
movement, which enables the hands
and arms to work faster.
You can see both methods at any
big championship and they both work.

A wen DuA ing CpIcSSlOH.
OPEN golf tournaments in the
Southland, in California and
other warmer climes certainly held
up wonderfully even when business
was feeling the pinch of bad times.
P1nehurst, N. c., was the first
resort to sponsor these tournaments.
Then the movement spread through
both the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida,
Texas, California and other States.
Now the boys can swing merrily on
their way, playing in one tournament
after another during the Winter
months. In fact, real discernment is
required by the Steering Committee
of the American Professional Golfers
Association to space these open tour
naments at resorts so that there
won't be displeasing conflicts.
A man deserving great credit for
keeping open tournaments in the
forefront during the depression is
Col. Henry L. Doherty. The colonel
turned to golf to draw people to the
Orange State when he decided to
put on his "one man boom" in Flor
ida. Col. Doherty's ideas went over
