FIGURES on the public courses will
far overshadow those from the
private clubs. There'll be somewhere
in the neighborhood of half million
nine-hole rounds of golf played over
the public courses in the District of
Columbia this year when S. q. Leoffler,
the rotund concessionnaire, and the
operators of the Anacostia course cast
up their final figures.
Most of the rounds played on the
public courses are nine-hole rounds at
Is cents per nine, which makes golf q
little less than a luxury when you
consider that it costs the average club
member around 3 bucks a round If
he figures in annual dues, caddy hire,
a golf ball and drink or two.

than at any time in the history of

n YEW YORK, Dec. l3.-The situ-
nj alton is going to be all re-
versed tonight when Herr
Max Schmeling, the mighty
hunter, climbs into the Madison
Square Garden ring for is rounds or
less with rugged Harry Thomas.
This time Joe Louis, the champ,
IS going to be sitting there with his
sleepy eyes on the proceedings-hop-
ing to "see somethin'" important. He
would like to locate a leak in Schmel-
1ng's 32-year-old armor
1t would be only fair if he did, be-
cause Max, you will recall, sat there
in the shadows couple winters ago
and saw somezing" nobody else had
even suspected while Louis, the young
ster, was smashing Old Paolino Uzcu-
dun out of the fight game for good.
Schmeling discovered that night
that Joe was a sucker for a right,
and a few months later he reaped
the benefit of that discovery by nearly
knocking Joe's head right off it's
hinges. Der Make fully expects to do
it again when he tackles Joe for the
title next June.
Prospects were that Joe, 18 months
older and wiser than when he ran into
the fury Of Schmeling's right, would
have good opportunity to study his
most dangerous rival tonight. The
odds favored Schmeling to win by to
l. but lot of critical observers ex-
pected him to have his hands pretty
full.
Thomas Strong and Tough.
THOMAS, though unknown to fame
in the East, has knocked out
Hushel OF fair fighters through the
Middle-West and West, and he's never
yet had to dust the resin off his
pants. He's strong as they come and
tough. Furthermore, he talks a ter
rifle fight, and the boys have not for
gotten that Tommy Farr was a loud
speaker
Schmeling has looked grand in
training, that trllsty right of his
cracking like a machine gun as 1t
Sk'AAAAA6 pal tllClo oil OVER
the canvas at Madame Bey's. Thomas
has looked terrible. So it probably
will be humdinger of a fight.
Thomas, among other things, claims
that he knocked Joe Louis fiat
couple of years ago when Joe was
training for fight on the West Coast.
He says that, as result, he was fired
out of the Louis Camp without even
receiving the $40 due him.
I can't remember it," says Joe,
and usually remember these fellows
who knock me down But I'll pay him
the ten if he says I owe it to him"
Louis has seen Thomas fight several
times, though, and he admits there's
. real punch up the Thomas sleeve.
Max better not let himself get hit
too many times or he won't be worry
ing about where and when he's going
to fight me. Nav, I don't care which
one of them win"

I'D guess our figures would run

GOchenOur'S First Big Win.

A IL of the money in the Atlantic

State Open Sweepstakes last night

which was staged at the Tivoli and
Twentieth Century drives.

Of 80 starters with 636 for his first

two pins when he totaled 665 for his
last block. II was the lanky Arcadia

Joe Not Particular.

Joe, like Schmeling, intends to get
some good, stiff fights under his
belt before next spring. He's going
to fight opponents yet to be named at
Chicago, Detroit and here, and he
says he doesn't care who they are.
Max Baer? Sure. And Buddy
Baer, too, and Nathan Mann or who-
ever Uncle Mike (Jacobs) wants me
to fight. And I'll fight Schmeling
anytime, anywhere. I'll even go to
Germany What he did to me that
last time isn't going to happen again.
Except in age, Schmeling and
Thomas are remarkably evenly
matched Thomas, at 27, has a five
year haul in that important respect.
Each was expected to scale 1876 pounds
at todays weigh-in. Schmeling is
an inch taller, but Thomas has the
heavier chest and arm development
Schmeling is FAR the better boxer and
should win.

mony. The commission, however, was
convinced Blair told the truth and
continued the search for the briber
but as yet the mysterious man has
not been revealed
Speaking of mysteries, Dupre was
something of an unknown until
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn imported
him for his featherweight elimination
tourney, but Tony since has erased
any doubt concerning his prowess by
whipping Armando Stella and Baby
Manuel. An authoritative counter
puncher, Dupre has trounced II SOUTH
paws during his ring ramblings and
never has lost to a lefthander.
The feud is expected to narrow
down to Gevinson's left hand and
Dupre's right, although there may be
no fight at all unless Lou decides to
take the initiative and swing first.
Dupre is a confirmed waiter who
is content to coast along easily until
his foe presents an opening for his
sizzling right.
Dupre Gives Away Weight.
CEVINSON has promised to trim
down to 1870 pounds for the lighter
Dupre, thus installing the blond Italian
favorite. Tony is expected to give
away at least S pounds to the sharp
faced Jewish lad
If it means anything, Matt Twomey,
Gevinson's manager, has been sus-
pended again and will not be allowed
in Louis corner.

Foul Rule Revised.

THE most important rule change,
which met with general approval
and probably will be adopted before
the 1888 season starts, divides fouls
into two classes, personal and techni-
cal. An offending player. instead of
being automatically banished for one,
two, or five minutes, will be charged
with half demerit for q technical
foul and full demerit for q personal
foul. A total Of three fouls will bring
about his Punishment from the game.
On a personal foul, q member of the
offended team will be given possession
Of the ball on new 20-yard line with
his checker compelled to remain IS
yards behind him, and will be given
the opportunity to take free shot.

 The Roof Garden is the oldest annual entertainment given in Nome since 1900 but owing to the lack of facilities no Roof Garden has been given since the fire. The drive which the Pioneers carried on last winter which resulted in the addition of a large number of new members has given Pioneer Igloo new life and at the last meeting held in the Odd Fellows Hall it was unanimously carried that the Pioneer Roof Garden be again resumed.
