Popular Strongbow

Unofficial Victor Over
Terror Faces Freeman
On Mat Thursday

Jules Strongbow, the urly-haired
Indian grappler who fast is be-
coming favorite here, will mix
with Herbie Freeman in one of the
preliminaries to the rassling feature
between Jim Londos and Man
Mountain Dean Thursday night at
Turner's Arena.
Strongbow's popularity is based
on two victories over the Golden
Terror, although officially they
never met. Several weeks ago he
was refereeing a match between the
masked william, most detested Of
the mat clan in Washington, and
Frank Brown. The Terror won,
but Strongbow was so incensed at
the tactics used that he felled him
with blow to the jaw.
Strongbow QueIls Terror.
Last week StrongboW was at the
ringside as a spectator when the
Terror was mauling Joe Savoldi.
Things went from bad to worse, as
usual in a Terror match. Finally
half a dozen customers and officials
were IN the ring and a minor riot
was in full swing. StrongboW
hoped over the ropes and f1attened
the Terror in about two seconds.
An hour or so before he had won
decision over Chief Chewaki.
when the chief, sociable enough
outside the ring. swung on the ref
cree at the end of a Commute
draw.
Usual Rough Stuff" Ban.
In connection with the main bout
Promoter Joe Turner has issued
his monthly warning, which is
ignored as often as it is issued. No
rough stuff, says Joe, no fighting
with customers. no tossing oppo-
nents into the seats.
The warning this time Is meant
for the Man Mountain, a rassler
of the tossing school. 1t will be
remembered that similar warn
ing was issued to the Golden
Terror about month ago and only
served to increase his fan-baiting
and rough stuff.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Charles w.
Bidwell, owner of the Chicago Cardi-
mails of the National Professional
Football League, today was search
ing for the successor to Milan
Creighton. who resigned yesterday
as head coach after the clubs worst
season since 1888. The team lost 9
games in II starts.
Five nationally known coaches,
from both the professional and COL
legiate ranks, were under considera-
ton for the post to which Creighton,
a former University of Arkansas end,
was elevated as playing coach In
1885.
They are Ernie Nevers, q former
Stanford star and Cardinal player
who coached them for several years;
DR.. Clarence w. Spears. former
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Oregon
coach, now coach at Toledo UNI
versity; Dutch Clark, coach Of the
Detroit Lions for two years; Dick
Hanley, former head coach at North
western. and Paddy Driscoll, head
coach at Marquette University.
Driscoll is q former Cardinal star.
He also aided Creighton during the
latter part Of the 1896 season.

high now. If we try making Halycon
we'll be dashed to pieces on the
rocks. If we let her drift we might
get across the bay and hit Maynard
Beach. Only chance"
He hadn't intended to speak SC
loud. A girl who sat directly behind
screamed and began to cry. Fear
ran through the passengers like ar
electric current. The men sat up
white-faced. asking sharp ques.
tions.
Elliot knew that the one thing
he must do was to prevent hysteria
prevent the men from insisting or
trying to make Halycon. He un-
leased one of the oars and climbed
back to the stern. Paula was sitting
rigid and white-faced. Bob Stahl
leaped to his feet. you damn fool
if we don't try to head her in to
Halycon we'll be swept out to seal
Elliot heard the shrill agreement
Of the other passengers. He drew
back his fist and hit Bob Stahl with
all the force he could muster. Stahl
went down and lay still at Paula S
feet.
IF you want to live" Elliot said
grimly, shut up and let me handle
this" He dropped the oar over the
stern and steadied it under his arm
They swept on at an incredible speed
Halycon Light was behind them in a
flash. Elliot studied the stars
watched Halycon over his lef,
shoulder.
An eternity passed. The passen-
gers huddled down into their seats
Bob Stahl stirred and opened his
eyes, but Paula didn't look at him
More time passed, and then suddenly
there was a grating sound. A wom-
an screamed, but Elliot dropped his
oar and swore in sheer relief. The
speedboat had grounded at the south
end of Maynard Beach.
The men carried their women
ashore, laughing and joking. What
If there were a 1O-mile walk back to
town? It seemed unimportant. now
Elliot helped the driver fasten a
painter about tree stump. He
turned and saw Paula. She was
standing alone, waiting for him. He
looked at her, smiling grimly. She
slipped hand through his arm.
Tit was such fun, Elliot
Wasn't it?"
yeah" said Elliot. "Fun" And
they walked of together, not caring
that the others had gone on without
them.

suddenly, unexpectedly. at the Rob-
insons' party. Her whims usually
made her lovable, but whims, Elliot
thought, often bordered on stark
foolishness.
She would, of course, have nobody
but Elliot and Bob accompany her.
The three of them had been to-
gether when the whim struck her
They could have so much fun to-
gether.
Elliot's surmise about himself
being made to look like chump
proved correct. Bob Stahl was at
home on the gambling ship. He
had money. He had reckless
smooth way about him. He fitted
into the atmosphere of the place
Paula was impressed. Paula al
most forgot that Elliot was around
1t was only when she was snugly
ensconced between the two of them
in the stern seat of the speedboat
which was to take them back over
the 12-mile course to the mainland
that she seemed to remember.
"Oh, Elliot, wasn't it fun! Didn't
we have the grandest time!"
YEAH" Elliot said. Eve had a
swell time"
A warm breeze famed their faces
as the speedboat cut through the
waves, heading toward the lights of
Chescent Harbor. Bob's arm crept
along the seat behind Paula. Elliot
swore softly to himself.
Unexpectedly the speedboat's mo-
tor had begun to sputter. 1t emitted
q series of staccato backf1res and
died. Instantly the bow swung
around and they began to drift.
Elliot could see the silhouette OF
the driver as he climbed back over
his seat and lifted the engines hood.
The dozen or more passengers ex-
pressed no alarm; they thought 1t
fine that their ride should thus be
prolonged.
Elliot glanced sideways at Paula.
Her cheek was against Bob's shoul-
der, and her eyes we're closed. Bob
looked at him with the slow, con-
temptuous smile that had always
made Elliot furious. He looked away
quickly and with muttered apologies
made his way over seats until he
reached the engine pit.
whats the trouble?" he asked.
Don't know yet" The driver
looked up. Know anything about
engines?" His tone and his face
were anxious.
Not much" Elliot took the light
and peered around. He couldn't dis
cover anything wrong. but he didn't
know where to look. Instead Of con.

Is Ordered in New

Bv WALTER McCALLUM.

Witty Cox and George Diffen.
baugh, professional golfers at the
Congressional and Kenwood Coun-
try Clubs, will have to change thei,
changed women's par ratings tc
make them coincide with a new
yardage for feminine par. an
nounced today by the United States
Golf Association.
For several weeks Cox and Diffen-
baugh have been carefully going
over the Congressional and Ken
wood courses. at the request of the
Women's Golf Committees of the
two clubs, measuring the correct
distance between the middle of the
women's tees and the middle of the
greens.
Cox finds that the true women S
par for Congressional is about 78.
Diffenbaugh finds the correct femi-
nine par for Kenwood Is IS. but
these measurements remain to be
finally checked again before new
scorecards are printed.
WuSt 10 VOTk oVeT.
Now, on the basis OF new women S
par measurements announced by the
U. S. G. A. all this work will have to
be done over again. and the femi-
nine par at every golf course around
Washington will have to be rear
ranged. The new par measurements
also will cause considerable revision
in the 500-odd handicaps compiled
by the Women's District Golf Asso-
citation.
Where in the past par rating for
women has included yardages up
to 200, the new ratings will stretch
the yardage to 210. From 211 to 400
yards will be the new par-4 dis
tance. The old rating was 20l to
375 yards. New par distance will
be 4ol yards to 575 yards, against
the old rating of 376 to $50, in
elusive. All holes (and there are
very few of them over SIS yards
will fall into the par 6 classification
The U. S. G. A. points out that
the new figures are not arbitrary
because some allowance must be
made for ground configuration and
any other difficult or unusual condi-
tions. Especially on hole where
the par is doubtful the severity OF
the hazards also should be consid
cred.
Means Many Changes Here.
The entire effect will be to in
crease the difficulty Of women's PAL
around the Capital, for there are
many holes which fall within the
new par ranges, but are outside the
old distances. The new distance
figures will result in lowering OF
par at most of the courses.
Par the U. S. G. A. explains
means perfect play without flukes
and under ordinary weather condi-
tions. always allowing two strokes
on each putting green" But the
scorecard never reveals how the par
was accomplished. A one-putt green
looks the same on the card.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The little,
round-faced man smiled.
when I started fighting again a

said, I certainly wish you wouldn't,
Tony I guess them guys don't know

The fellow who has to eat is, Of

pockets empty, but with the war
drums sounding in his ears. he is
trying a comeback in prize fighting.
the business in which they seldom
come back.
A lot of the people who wrote
Tony weren't just phoney senti-
mentalists. They had watched Tony
go as high as any one ever went in
the bleak, cynical profession and
they didn't want to see him fall to
the level of tank-town arenas and
the final dispairing moments when
the man coming back meets a
younger, better fighter and goes
down for good.
Tony dropped Howard Scott, his
last opponent, three times, and each
time Scott got up punching. In most
comebacks the other fellow doesn't
get up-in the early fights.
Believes He'll Improve.
A fan pushed his way into the
hot. dingy dressing room. Hey.
Tony he hoilered. You looked
great. as good as you ever looked"
Tony smiled again. but not very
brightly. When the fan had gone out
trailing cigar smoke and praise he
said:
We'll. maybe 7 did. but I missed
an awful lot and I was plenty tired
at the end. But my timing is coming
back, I think am hitting better"
1t seemed funny to hear him
talking like that. Funny when you
think of 1880 or 1881, when he was
the best little fellow in the busi-
ness. the lightweight champion. He
was big man in those days, days
when people still cheered Babe Ruth
up at the Stadium. when Twenty
Grand was winning the Kentucky
Derby. when Marchmont Schwartz
was an All-America back
But like all fighters Tony had bad
luck with his investments. The
money melted away; a haberdashery
here, a restaurant there. the horses
took some more. So he is out there
fighting for the dough.

the best he had. Fighters like that

him back on top at the Garden be-
fore you know it,"
At the Garden. The last time YOU
saw him before the comeback was
at the Garden when he tried-and
failed-to win back the lightweight
championship he priced so much,
from Lou Ambers. He went out of
the ring bloody, battered, but still
smiling and there was no single
sound, just thousands of tons of
coal coming down vast chute.

PITTSBURGH. Nov. 29.-Dancing
legs and left jab that carried little
authority except to stave off his foe
won Billy Conn of Pittsburgh a
decision last night over Solly Krieger
of New York, the National Boxing
Associations newly crowned middle
weight champion, in a 12-round
non-title bout.
Krieger, fighting his first contest
since taking the title from Al Hostak
in Seattle. pursued the elusive Conn
to all corners of the ring. but only
once, in the furious 11th, did he
catch up and have the Pittsburgh
fighter in trouble.
But this was the champions best
effort. In most rounds he was un-
able to get inside Conn's sharp left
jab. which Billy kept moving with
such speed and accuracy that he
piled up enough points to win the
decision unanimously.
Conn finished strong. trading
heavy blows in the 18th with
Krieger. who weighed 1863 Conn
weighed 1854.
