ruption. That one and the North and
South at Pinehurst. Jimmy Thomp-
son, golf's Big Bertha. is the playing
pro at Shawnee, but Jack Patroni is
the guy who runs the golf shop and
gives the lessons.
You'll see Jimmy's name entered
in tournaments from Shawnee, but he
isn't there very much. Jack can play
golf. too. He licked Gene Sarazen in
the P. G. A. tournament of 1886. which
you aren't doing if you happen to b
q duffer.
Shawnee won't be short for that
tournament" said wise-crackine Will
fred. But the way the boys knock
the ball from the tee nowadays they
make any long course into a short
one. There will be plenty of chip
ping to be done up there. That's why
I'm sharpening up on my work around
the green's. and that's where TIE
championship will be won"
And that. also, is one Of the rea-
sons tall Wilfred happens to be one
OF the current marvels Of golf. He
hasn't practiced at all since he came
back from Florida, and before the
P. G. A. sectional rounds he had
played just five games in two months.
But he led the field with a total Of
140.
Driving Is easy" said VIII. "You
can sorta massage that ball of the tee
out there somewhere in the middle or
close enough to have q whack at the
green. But when you get around that
green the going gets tough. That's the
scoring range and that is where shutev
Denny has been knocking 'em of.
Maybe can get these shots working
myself"

Not Enough to Offset Furr's

George Abrams and Phil Furr will
battle at Grifith Stadium tomorrow
night In 4 rain-postponed l0-round
bout for the District middleweight
championship, ending siege Of verbal
fighting between their managers over
weights, gloves and other conditions.
Furr was big drawing card here

inson for awhile. Petey Sarron dis
posed of him. Then arose Abrams,

world middleweight champion.
And now comes tomorrow's bout
for the vacant D. c. middleweight
throne. Furr generally fights as q
welterweight and Is the District champ
OF that division. so Is stepping up
class to take on Abrams. George is
highly regarded as a conner. though
having shown no real knockout punch.
but the prospects of his whipping
Furr do not appear bright. A weight
edge OF nearly IL pounds may help
but hardly figures to offset Furr's
greater experience and proven wallop.
George has stuck pretty close to
home in piling up a record of 81
victories and l loss, while Furr has
been meeting some Of the best OF
the welterweights. Phil is eighth on
the N. B. A. ratings. He is % years

In spring training Furr cracked
his right hand and has not fought
since, but according to Chris Dundee,
his manager, the fist healed COM
pletely.
Last Monday, the day originally
scheduled for the bout. Abrams weigh

to drop several pounds to meet specifi-
cations. He generally fights around
$50 or slightly more. He must weigh
in again tomorrow and it has been
tough going to scale down twice in a
