Big Goal for Williams.

DROVIDING Nader does not slap
the Hobo's seams loose, Williams
will be matched with Bob Olin, former
world light-heavyweight champion. or
Al Mccoy of Boston in the second step
toward that objective.
: The outlook for Nader Is not OF
the same rosy hue. Eddie. once highly
regarded, has slipped considerably and
he has shifted to the light-heavy-
weight division in the hope Of re-
capturing some of his vanished pres
tige. His last slip here cost him q
fractured ankle and a technical knock
out loss to Jack Roper.
Hobo, in the meantime, has dis
posed of guys named Freddy, Joe
Rusty and Eric, all camouflaged as
fighters. Not since he lost two de-
cisions to the promising Buddy Scot,
has he faced an opponent OF any
appreciable ring worth and most ring
worms are anxious to see how he
can handle the ringwise Nader.

SEES WAY CLEAR
Stone Points to Injustice
of HobbIing Poor While
Rich Go on Tour.
BY w. X. McCALLUM.

A MATEUR gO1 would De put on
~ a footing whereby a simon
~ pure who hasn't large slice
a of money could accept emolu-
ments and continue playing golf, If
w. R. Stone has his way.
Stone is the gent who sent out a
few days ago a flock of suggestions
for the betterment of golf. They in
cluded some radical ideas, too, in line
with his latest scheme for taking
amateur golf out of the hypercritical
classification.
Would Change Amateur Rule.
"SINCE the acceptance OF compen-
sation IN one guise or another
by outstanding amateurs" says Stone,
lis believed so generally as to have
become a national scandal. and while
the truth or falsity of the belief is
difficult to establish even in appar-
emily obvious and flagrant violations
of the rules. it is suggested that the
only fair thing to do. so that the open
and above board amateur may re-
ceive certain emolumentS now en-
joyed only by his less scrupulouS
competitor, is to rescind the existing
regulations on the subject and to sub
stitute a rule similar to the follow
ing:
"A player shall lose his amateur
status and become professional only
when he shall have been employed
in that capacity by club or driving
course to teach the technique OF golf,
and not when playing for prize
money, or for side bets, or when re-
ceiving compensation, or for writing
articles or books for publication, OF
for moving picture or general dem
onstration work in the interest OF
the golfing or general public"
Problem Defies Best Minds.
"CERTAINLY," adds Stone, there
is no justice in rule which
enables a rich boy to go on exhlbl-
ton tours and keeps poor boy at
home, especially when no objection
is offered to the friendly financing OF
an amateur in a championship con-
test solely because Oh Ills tdlellIS aS
an expert stroker."
Well, Brother Stone, the best minds
In the game have wrestled with this
problem of amateuriSm. The United
States Golf Association knows OF
many cases of proselyting, but it
can't prove 'em. There literally are
scores of young and promising golf
ers who have been given push up
the ladder in a financial way by men
interested in their progress, but who
actually can prove they've been helped
by gifts of money? Sure, there is
plenty of pseudo-amateurism, but the
present rule is a good one. And it
doesn't provide for payment for anna
teur golfers.

Clagett Stevens. Rolands assist

Job there for the Summer.
LIS last round Of golf around
- Washington left Claggett Won
dering what guy has to do to win

against the pin at the par fourth
hole at Congressional in spot where
birdie looked cinch.
Then along came Frank
Goodwin who knocked a niblick
second shot smack into the cup
for an eagle deuce.
On the previous hole Claggett hit
an iron shot so straight that it lacked
only a few inches of going into the
cup for an ace. on a dead line to
the hole and a few inches short.
So the two of 'em played the third
and fourth holes in 2, 2. Try that

Sea Battle of Revolutionary

Planned for Regatta Program,

bined to give him O vision Of what
more could be done. Working with
John A. Remon. president Of the
Regatta Committee. they form a pair
which well may make Washington the
boating center Of the Nation.
During what is becoming known rs
"Washington's biggest week end" the
three days Of the regatta, Councillor
would have 500 persons garbed in
yachting array-white pants, white
shoes. blue coat and yachting cap. He
would retain the colorful night pag-
cant. only made bigger than ever. And
he would have a contact man in every
line Of business in the city, assuring
complete representation Of every walk
of the Capitals life.
Serious About Sonia.
THE Sonia Henie idea Is no day
dream. Oficials Of an electrical
company have offered to freeze over
the whole Tidal Basin, If required
let the cost be hanged. Neither is
the idea of the reproduction of the
naval battle Of the Revolutionary War
in which Jones' Richard and England's
Scraps would be manned by Naval
Academy midshipmen.
Councillor already has interested Sol
Bloom. chairman of the seSquicen-
tennial Of the writing of the Consti-
tuition (Scheduled a week before the
regatta), in cooperating with his COM
rnittee Further his Advisory and
Executive Committees embrace leaders
of Washington's civic and boating life.
