BRADDOCK|S' COAT

Poor Break for Champion
Looms Wherever Court
Sends Fight.
BY the Associated Press

w YOODCLIFF, N. j., March
\ n | 30-Even Champion James
wv J. Braddock was lost today
in the confusion of the
heavyweight situation.
Facing court action for his avowed
intention OF ignoring contract to
fight Max Schmeling, the champion
clings somewhat pathetically to the
outnoded idea that fighter should
fight.
II don't know anything about this
law business" he said, but Id sorta
like to fight again"
In the present muddle, he lives a
fantastic existence. He gets up early
iogs around the park in this little cliff
town overlooking the Hudson, goes to
New York and works out at gym
nasium, visits his manager, Joe Gould
Braddock Accepts Papers.
THIS is all he does, and yet he is
credited with all sorts of fabulous
things. "Braddock Dodges Schmeling'
reads one headline "Braddock
Threatens to Quit Chicago Bout"
screams another "Braddock Going
to Berlin" announces a third.
Yet Braddock himself does none of
these things. Gould does them all.
Yesterday, however, the champion
found one job his manager could not
do. Madison Square Garden was call
ing Jimmy into Federal Court to show
why he should not be forced to meet
Schmeling in New York June 3, before
meeting Joe Louis in Chicago on June
%. The champion went to Newark
and calmly accepted the papers.
Garden Has Whip Hand.
At THE moment it appears that
Madison Square Garden has the
whip-hand. If the New Jersey Fed
eral Court does restrain Braddock
from meeting Louis until he has
fought Schmeling, the champion S
chances are not good. And even if
the court refuses an injunction against
the Louis fight, the champions prob
lens still are unsolved
Recent developments in Chicago in
dicate that somebody out that way Is
not too anxious to have the Louis
Braddock fight and yet there always is
the possibility of suit if Gould does
not go through with the Chicago bout.
The only thing everybody agrees on
fS that Rraddock deserves q better
break than he's getting.

Has Same Old Swing.


been among the first or 10, despite
the handicaps he faced.
Nothing has happened to the famous
Jones sWing-aS smooth as the Spring
winds that drift across the red clay
hills. But, as Bob always has said
tournament golf and friendly golf
are two entirely different games. Golf
is about 70 per cent on the mental
and psychological side Tournament
golf is the hardest kind of work, de-
nanding continued concentration on
every stroke played"
1t Is easy enough to see that the
ability to concentrate isn't going to
last long after one quits serious golf.
Concentration, under pressure, must
be developed into a habit. 1t is no
natural gift. Few ever get it, anyway.
Naturally, the effort to concentrate
isn't going to improve under driving
rains and winds from the barren lands.
This applies especially to the short
game, where confidence and delicacy
OF touch are two controlling factors.
No Answer.
\ IL this still isn't answering the
question as to how Bob Jones will
come along at Augusta this week.
Look at the recent North and South
open at Pinehurst. Fifteen broke par
the first day over one of the worlds
finest courses. Denny Shute and
60rtNp, c7c Crood
and Byron Nelson had 68s, and they
are two of the kids.
Augusta presents the top layer of
professional golf-Cooper. Smith,
Picard, Shute, Snead, Nelson, Revolta,
Iaffoon, Manero, Sarazen. Runyan,
Macfarlane, Guldahl, Dudley, Thom-
son, Wood, Little, Armour-on and on.
For 10 years Bob Jones ran one-two
against the pick of the game. But he
has been out Of action and the pace
has picked up. And after the last
three years the old shadow of Bobby
Jones has been lifted from the pack.
They are playing the course now
not Bobby Jones, as they once did.
They are thinking largely in terms Of
teating par-not merely getting it.
This is still no answer. I don't
think there is an answer But I be-
lieve at least part of the strain has
been lifted. Bob no longer feels that
the public expects him to win. He,
himself, never expected to come from
Elba to Mount Olympus He knew
what the barriers were.
But an old-timer is entitled to a
dream. I still feel that, with pleasant
weather, now due to break after three
bad years, the same r. T. Jones, jr.,
may be found stepping along with the
front rank. The breaks against him
have been too incredible to last for
ever. You can't pick any man to win
in this field, where the odds should be
at least 10 to against any starter
10 to l or even higher There may be
even a surprise-if fate removes that
horseshoe from its glove. Probably
not. But stranger things have hap
pened.

BREAK IN WEATHER

Emperor Victim of Singular
Run of Tough Luck in
Masters Tourney.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
r TOW will Bobby Jones make
out at his fourth show over
the Augusta national course,

the Augusta national course,
i i starting Thursday?
A number of correspondents have
passed this query along for our in
spection. Bob, as you may recall,
gave up competitive golf after his
grand slam in 1880 and finally was
lured back, largely against his will
as host and competitor over the
course he and DR.. Allister Mackenzie
carved out through Georgia pines and
naples, to say nothing of dogWood
flaming in pink and white.
In three previous starts Bob dis
covered that the combination of a
four-year lay-of, the job of acting
gave him little chance against so OF
the worlds greatest professionals, sea-
soned under the suns that range from
California to Florida, all "tourna-
ment tough" as Bill Tilden once
called it.
It was too much to ask of human
being, no matter the greatness OF his
tournament days.
Bobby Jones never offered an alibi
in his life. He never invited one. He
never has needed one. But in an
swer to the above query, How will
Jones make out this week." I am
going to offer at least one angle that
perhaps may border on the alibi zone
Bob Victim of Weather.
IN EACH OF his three appearances
since 1930-three in six years
any chance Jones might have had
was wrecked completely by an out
burst OF wretched weather that hap
pened to hit Autusta on these par
t1cular dates-a swirl of driving rains
and chilling winds that made good
golf extremely difficult even for those
who had been cracking par week after
week from one ocean to another. 1t
takes a lot of tournament seasoning
TO get any golfer ready for high-class
play in rain and wind, especially
when he hasn't faced such conditions
tor several years.
In 1884 and 1885 Bob played little
golf before the Augusta tournament
started. In 1886 he went out to get
ready early.
Playing under the warm suns OF
the South, he toured the Augusta
battlefield between IS and 10, day
after day. Playing with leading pros,
he more than held his own.
But the tournament opened to a
swirl of rain and Winter winds. Jones
had a 78 on the first round. So did
Gene SaraZen. Craig Wood jumped
to an 81 or an 88. But Bob never
found his touch or caught his stride
again. He lost the confidence that
had returned around the greens.

ANTI-|TALIAN PRESS
WARNING IS ISSUED
Ciano Declares Grave Danger
Lies in Offensive by
Periodicals.
By the Associated Press,


ROME, May 13.-1taly's foreign
minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano

reference by name that grave danger
lies in an anti1talian press cam
paign."
Il believe it my duty" he said. "to
call attention to the grave danger
represented by the periodical offensive
OF a certain international press which
with regard to Fascist Italy, continues
to be inspired only by resentment,
hatred and falsehood."
English newspapers have tainted
Italians for their defeats in the
Spanish civil war Italy has retaliated
by recalling all italian correspondents
from London, establishment of a
virtual press boycott of the coronation
and the banning of all but three Eng
lish newspapers.
Count Ciano's remarks, made before
the Chamber of Deputies in a dis
cussion of Italy's foreign policies,
vigorously condemned the press cam
paign" of some nations" against the
valor of the Italian volunteers in

they could have had footstools.
Then the Queen mother arrived a
truly regal figure, in a long purple
velvet train, also edged with ermine
covering a dress of cloth of gold
With magnificent tiara her ma jesty
wore a crown of diamonds, which
flashed and sparkled in her hair. She

Our long wait was not enlivened
by the meandering organ music. I
wish they had played something fine
from Bach or Handel, but, no, thew
went on playing their own special
voluntaries.
The Kings marvellous gravity, his
dignity and the simplicity of his
movements, I think, touched every
one who saw him in the abbey. He
was so obviously earnest, and his
responses and the oaths he took to
govern the country to the best OF
his ability were SO clearly honest and
sincere. l was surprised to notice
that, after the actual browning of
the King had been celebrated while
his majesty was sitting in the chair OF
Edward the Confessor, which contains
the stone OF destiny, the royal couple
walked four steps to the two chairs
OF state. which had been placed
for them, and the Queen took a seat
at least two steps lower than the
Kings. I do not know why this
difference was made in their positions,
and it made me think of some Oriental
rites, where the woman takes a lower
place than the man. No doubt orr
antlquarians will be able to give
proper explanation for the incident
The Queen made lovely figure
AS she sat down on her chair of state

around her by her six train bearers

One last thing When the Kings
brothers knelt before him in homage
ana touched his crown with thei,
hands. at the same time kissing hin
on the cheek, wave of emotion
passed over the great and splendid
congregation. The homage was done
with perfect precision and in perfec1
taste and except for the muttered
formula spoken by the princes in
perfect silence.
When, as the service came To IFS
conclusion. we stood up to sing the
natlonal anthem, I am sure that all
those around me prayed, as I did, in
tnelr hearts that so modest a man
so Unexpectedly thrust into a place
OF such high honor and such awful
responsibility, might be guided and
Kept by almighty God.
